James - Practical Wisdom - James 2:1-13: In a world quick to judge and slow to embrace, James 2:1–13 calls us to form a radically different kind of community—a community of grace. We all have preferences, but the Gospel invites us to trade favouritism for family and hypocrisy for humility. In God's kingdom, who you are matters more than what you have. Mercy, not status, defines us. What would it look like for us to live as people shaped by compassion, forgiveness and the dignity of all? Join us this Sunday at 9 or 11am and bring a friend.

On today's show: We spoke with Calgary Chamber of Commerce CEO Deborah Yedlin, who is in Ottawa amongst new cabinet ministers and making the case for the city's economic interests; Picture Diamond Valley in the Foothills, and then double its population. We spoke to the community's mayor to get an idea how a public hearing about a big development went last night; How would you like a pile of fries smothered in gravy and worms? We caught up with a food truck owner who is bringing unique eats to this year's Stampede. 

James - Practical Wisdom - James 1:19-27: Spiritual blindness can sneak in quietly—through unchecked anger, passive faith or careless words. In this deeply practical passage, James invites us to see clearly by receiving God's Word with humility and living it out with integrity. True religion isn't found in words alone but in a transformed life—one that listens carefully, speaks wisely and loves sacrificially. As we explore how rage, apathy and empty speech distort our vision, we'll also discover how God restores our sight through the Gospel of Jesus Christ—the One who fulfilled the law so we could walk in the freedom it gives.Bring a friend and join us at 9 or 11am this Sunday!

We recap this past weekend's soccer action for Calgary based teams in this episode.  The Calgary Wild finished up their long road trip at York Lions Stadium where they faced AFC Toronto.  One day later, Cavalry FC stepped onto the same pitch to play York United with a better final result.  League One Alberta saw four matches happen on Friday evening, including two matches in Calgary. We talk about Foothills, Callies, Villains and Blizzard. Some familiar faces appeared on the scoresheet for Cavalry U21's. And the Calgary Wild U21 team had a League One debut they'd probably prefer to forget.Subscribe to our Substack or follow us on Twitter/X or on Instagram or Bluesky.Our website is yycsoccer.com

James - Practical Wisdom - James 1:9-18: Some of the best gifts I have ever received I bought for myself. That's just how my wife and I roll with presents. We know what we want so we'll buy it and then give the other the credit. That works for my marriage. Doesn't for Jesus. Every good and perfect thing I have ever experienced or been given comes from Him. I cannot self-produce a good thing and slap a “from God” sticker on it. Why? Because He's not only good but He's what good is. When we get together at church, we'll try to wrestle this out. Here's how: we're going to talk about the virtue humility as a pillar of the way of Jesus, we're going to break down temptation (we're going to wade into the messiness of it and get a good look at ourselves) and differentiate the words “trial” and “temptation”, so that: by God's good grace, we'll try to get a good look at God and see what this goodness is all about. See you then.

What do you do when a quiet deer hunt in Alabama turns into a face-to-face encounter with something massive… and not quite human? In this chilling episode, we talk with Mark “Plowboy” Green, a lifelong outdoorsman from the Foothills of Alabama, whose 2007 hunting trip near the Alabama River led to a moment that changed his life forever. From the swamps of Lowndes County to the eerie hills of “Creepy Mountain,” Mark recounts vivid sightings, inexplicable nighttime howls, and the moment he looked through his rifle scope and realized—he wasn't looking at a man.We explore secretive tracks, peanut butter gifts gone missing, and eerie encounters near Hollins Hunters Camp — where some say a man died from a heart attack, but others whisper about something much worse. This episode isn't just a retelling — it's an unraveling.You'll hear stories of glowing eyes in the woods, T-Rex-like roars, and the moment Mark realized the boogers might be visiting his own backyard.

Kingdom Living - Matthew 21:23-32: Jesus was known for saying and doing some pretty outrageous things. After receiving the worship of the people on Sunday and flipping tables in the temple on Monday, the religious leaders intercept Jesus on Tuesday demanding He tell them "by what authority" He does these things. It's like asking, "what right do you have?" They would love for Jesus to say "by God's authority" because then they would have religious grounds to kill Him. But, Jesus graciously subverts their schemes with a brilliant question of His own and a subsequent parable. Confronted by Jesus' claim to authority that is above all, over all and for all; the religious leaders must decide how they will respond. We, too, must decide how we will respond to Jesus' awesome authority--rebel or receive.

It's been a long, winding road that has brought procurement to its current state of flawed incentive structures and measurement challenges. Rob Hills, CEO of Hills Advisory Services and former Deloitte partner, has seen it all unfold firsthand.  But recognizing problems and how they were created is only half of the battle.  With over three decades of procurement experience that stretches back all the way to the formative days of strategic sourcing at A.T. Kearney in the mid-1990s, Rob has seen the classic procurement dilemma play out more times than he would have liked. CPOs “plant a victory flag” on savings while CFOs fail to see procurement's win materialize on the P&L. In the sixth episode of “Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement,” co-hosts Rich Ham and Philip Ideson speak with Rob about this measurement gap, how it has evolved over time, and why procurement's measurement and incentive systems have remained largely unchanged over the years, despite their obvious flaws.  Rob also offers a unique historical perspective of the disconnect between negotiation and execution, especially as procurement grapples with balancing increasing workloads and larger portfolios of spend with shrinking resources.  Rob, Phil, and Rich also explore potential innovative thinking about incentives, metrics, and process design that could finally address the longstanding challenges in demonstrating procurement's full purpose, value, and impact for the business.

(Note: this week's SGV Connect podcast is being broken into two parts. Part 2, which is a series of interview about The People's Cafe in El Monte, will be broadcast tomorrow.) Last week, news broke that bids for the next extension of the Foothill Gold Line - from Pomona to Montclair - would be delayed because the only bid to design and build the project was hundreds of millions of dollars higher than anticipated. Earlier today, Damien Newton sat down with Gold Line Foothill Construction Authority CEO Habib Balian to discuss the causes of the delay and how it impacts the timeline of providing rail service to Montclair. Meanwhile, major construction on the extension from Glendora to Pomona wrapped up earlier this year. Bialin anticipates that Metro will announce next month the exact date that extension of the Gold Line will open to the public - probably sometime later this summer. During the podcast, Bialin uses the terms “design build” and “construction manager at risk“ to discuss the different processes that agencies and contractors can use when making agreements on how a project will proceed and who carries which liabilities. For those interested, the links on the terms above explain what those processes are. A transcript of this podcast is available after the embed of the broadcast.   Streetsblog's San Gabriel Valley coverage is supported by Foothill Transit, offering car-free travel throughout the San Gabriel Valley with connections to the A Line Stations across the Foothills and Commuter Express lines traveling into the heart of downtown L.A.

Transcript: This transcript is lightly edited for clarity. Damien NewtonSince the last time we've checked in, there's been a lot of good news, and then last week we had a little bit of concerning news. So let's get the "bad stuff" out of the way, and then we can talk about where we are with the project going forward. Last week, we heard that the next phase of the extension -not the one where the construction is completed, but the next phase - is going to be delayed at least a little bit because bids did not come in as low as hoped. Can you explain what happened there and what the next steps are for the Construction Authority? Habib Balian Over the last three years, in preparation to go out to bid for the next phase of the project from Pomona to Montclair, we did our own independent cost estimate. We brought in outside estimators - people that are very well known in the industry - to look at the project, look at our design, look at the specifications, and help us foresee what a potential bidder might bid on the job. We went about this process, as any owner would, whether you're building a billion dollar light rail or remodeling the bathroom of putting some feelers out there what you think the job is going to cost. We went after it three times over the last three years. We even had Metro look over our shoulder and look at our estimates to come up with a validation of that number. And we rounded out with these estimators and Metro of a range of bids of what we thought the project was going to cost. We then started this procurement. We got some feedback during the procurement that our process to build the project using "design build" was not favorably received by the industry anymore. They don't want to take on that risk. We, as the owners, want to shove that risk off on the contractors. And that's worked very well for us over the last 20 years and the three phases of the project using design-build. But that model was getting some resistance in the building community. We also understood that a lot of potential bidders for the job would not be interested in competing with Kiewit (who had been the incumbent contractor for three consecutive projects that we built on the job from Union Station to Pasadena, Pasadena to Azusa/Glendora, and then the Azusa/Glendora border all the way to Pomona). Bidders were saying, 'Kiewit, seems to know the job so well, we may not be interested in bidding a job and competing with them, since they know it so well and probably could outbid us or underbid us.' So we were very nervous about this. Going into it, we took what we thought were very conservative precautions. We did a lot of outreach to the contracting community. We hosted these forums available for people to ask questions. And we also incentivized potential bidders with $9 million worth of recuperance of the potential bid that any work that they put into it - the design that went into this, the cost of them bidding the job, they would, as a course of a participant, be able to receive a four, three and $2 million payment for the work that they perform. Any design that they had done in furtherance of a bid that they would be able to give that to us, we would buy it from them, essentially based on their submitting a good bid that was responsive to the procurement. So even with all those incentives, Bid Day rolled around and, going into it, we knew we were only gonna have one participant. Which made us very nervous that there would be no other bids coming in. We knew that through the RFP process, and basically held our breath for a couple months until the bid came in. The bid came in, it was substantially higher than we expected, I believe, 54% higher than what our estimators and Metro thought the project would cost. We talked to them, went through a best and final offer and were not able to reach... achieve any substantial reduction in it. Then I took it to the board with the recommendation that we cancel that procurement and instead go out and re-procure through a different contracting method - CMAR (construction manager at risk, as it's known in the industry) - and proceed ahead with the project. It will be a bit of a delay, but it is a plan to get the project built, which is our mandate: to Montclair. We are starting in earnest with that procurement. It'll likely be on the street in June, and we'll be able to hire that designer and then bring on a construction management firm as well, and begin that process. And in furtherance of completing the project, with probably about a year delay we're expecting. Damien So with the year delay, could you outline what the rough timeline looks like now, to get that phase? Habib So we'll go through a procurement process beginning in June, probably June to September or October. We're nailing down the schedule right now, we will go and we'll seek a designer. That designer will engage them. That designer will complete the design, take it from our 20-30% complete and to a complete design. About midpoint of that we will start a procurement for construction manager. That construction manager will look over the shoulder and work with the designer to prepare a bid and confirm that they can build the project for our budget. So that will take about two years from now, and then that'll be a 'thumbs up or thumbs down' with that design, with that builder. If it's within our budget, we'll award the contract to them. And then from that point, it's about a four-year construction project. So roughly, 2030-31. Just as a footnote, should that builder that we bring on - the construction manager - say, 'we need more money,' or 'it's an inadequate budget,' we then have the ability of going out and soliciting a new builder for that project and hiring them and going out for construction based on a new bid. DamienSo it sounds like a lot's going on, but the plan is still to move forward and to keep going. HabibAbsolutely. The mandate of the legislature...back in 2000 they determined that the project would go from Union Station to Montclair. Just so, you know, originally [it] was supposed to only go to Claremont, and then it was later amended by the legislature to take it from Claremont to Montclair. That is our mandate. It's very important for this project to work at its maximum. And that requires it get to these hubs. And the nearest hub for this project is, in fact, getting to Montclair - to the Montclair Transit Center, the bus center. It's very important for ridership and for moving people from the Inland Empire into LA County along the Gold Line route from Montclair. DamienAlright, so that covers last week's news. But since the last time we've talked, there was some good news involving construction of the current extension, so to speak. So why don't we talk a little bit about where we are in that process, which I believe is mostly done. HabibThat's correct: mostly done. We achieved substantial completion by the contractor in early January, satisfied with their work. It was turned over to Metro for them to begin their preparations for operation. They'll start, doing their own testing and training of operators for over the next several months, with the anticipation that they will put it into service some time this summer. Metro - once they get underway with their testing fully - they'll be able to determine, probably in the May period, when they're going to announce a operations date with exactly when they're going to operate it some time this summer. DamienI said "mostly" I know your part is mostly done. It's "Metro's part" now that is still worked on. I just wanted to make it clear that when we said completed, it doesn't mean it's opening tomorrow. It's opening in probably July or August, if things go well. Habib That's correct. And just footnote to that is keyword is "still on the job." There's a long list of punch-list items that they're completing, some landscaping, some wall improvements, fare gates, something that's been a design change. Metro has come up with different fare gates system that is being retrofitted in. Our design originally didn't have them. Now it does, and they're being built as we speak, and installed. So,some of those last minute details are being done. So if any of your listeners actually go along the line and take a peek at what's going on, you're still going to see construction workers out there. There's still activity, nothing to the degree, obviously, of when construction was at full tilt. But right now, there is work going on, some cleanup activities, and handrails and fencing and gating is still going on, DamienI think we covered the two big topics on the checklist. Was there anything else you wanted to say before we before we sign off until July? Habib We're very excited about July. This is going to be very big for the San Gabriel Valley to connect further into the San Gabriel Valley, into Los Angeles, and ultimately to Long Beach. It's going to be very exciting for passengers, I think, and people are really going to enjoy this ride. It's a great system, and the stations look great. The artwork looks great. So we have a lot to show off this summer. DamienWell, we look forward to talking then and when the first phase of the extension open. I got this cool pin set, so I still have my fingers crossed to get another pin… Well, thank you very much. And we will. We'll talk again soon. Habib Okay, take care. Damien, thank you. Bye.

Kingdom Living - Matthew 21:12-17: Matthew 21:12-17 reveals the power of symbols and the radical medicine of Jesus' anger. In clearing the temple, He overturns tables and challenges our expectations by rejecting worldly distractions. His passionate act restores the temple as a house of prayer, healing the hurting and inviting even the lowly children to praise God.

Kingdom Living - Matthew 20:29-34: This is a very simple story, at the very end of a series of passages that teach us about the tremendous grace of God and what it means to be great in the kingdom of heaven. Jesus flips the script on what people's understanding was of how one gains God's favour and blessing. It's not those who are rich and successful. It's not those of high standing or those with power and position. It's not even those who work hard or even keep all the commandments. It is the humble and the meek, the helpless children and the one who wanders. And in today's passage, it's the one who begs for mercy and asks for a miracle. What would you want from Jesus if you had the privilege of a moment with Him? Come and consider this question together this Sunday. Bring a friend!

On this week's show, we bring you Lessons from the Foothills: Berea College and Its Unique Role in America, an address by author Gretchen Dykstra given to the Filson Historical Society in Old Louisville on January 28, 2025. In 1859, a mob of sixty-five prominent armed men rode into Berea, Kentucky, and forced the closure of its integrated one-room schoolhouse. Founded by Kentucky-born abolitionist John Gregg Fee, the school was open to anyone, regardless of their race or gender—a notion that horrified white supremacists. The mob evicted thirty-six community members, including Fee's family, but Fee and the others returned to Berea in 1864 and reestablished the institution, still committed to educating Appalachia's most vulnerable populations. In Lessons from the Foothills, Gretchen Dykstra profiles modern Berea College with its rich and beloved history. This book is the first to focus on contemporary Berea and its eight Great Commitments—the principles and practices that provide clear aspirations for the college and its community. Each chapter functions as a deep dive into the history, practice, and significance of one Great Commitment, from providing opportunity for the most marginalized, to the college's high academic standards and its commitment to environmental sustainability. The college has pledged to "provide an educational opportunity for students of all races, primarily from Appalachia, who have great promise and limited economic resources." To achieve this goal, the college eliminated tuition in 1892 and it also provides jobs for students to assist with living expenses. Drawn from interviews with a range of members of the Berea community, including alumni, students, faculty, and staff, Lessons from the Foothills is an engaging portrait of a unique and historic institution and its enduring commitment to nurture and support academic excellence and service. Gretchen Dykstra, author of Echoes from Wuhan: The Past as Prologue and Civic Pioneers: Local Stories from a Changing America, 1895–1915, and coauthor of Pinery Boys: Songs and Songcatching in the Lumberjack Era, has written articles for several publications, including the New York Times and California History. She lives in Haverford, Pennsylvania. This program was sponsored in honor of the Association for Teaching Black History in Kentucky, the Thomas D. Clark Foundation, in addition to UPK and Berea College.
