Podcasts about fortified

If Chris is here with six or so bottles, usually it's a casual episode. But someone let Chris team up with Dan and suddenly we have more than double the number of bottles. That's because we're trying fortified wines along with the spirits that they are traditionally barrel-finished in. It's arguably the best way to understand how a cask influences a spirit.

God desires for us to be fortified in every area of life including our finances. Through generous giving, wise planning, and faithful saving, we learn to trust God as our source, steward what He has entrusted to us, and prepare wisely for the future.

Hold on to your seats this week — the gospel makes a hard right toward Jerusalem and never looks back! This is the immediate turn from last week. Peter has just confessed Jesus as the Messiah. Now Jesus begins to teach what that means — suffering, death, resurrection. Peter is scandalized. Jesus is direct. The way of the cross gets named, and the same disciple who was blessed six verses ago is called Satan for objecting to it.The Old Testament tracks both give us people called to hard tasks. Track One brings us Moses at the burning bush — the divine name revealed, the reluctant prophet given his commission. Track Two brings us Jeremiah's lament — a prophet accusing God of being like a deceitful stream that goes dry when you need it most, and God's bracing rather than soothing response.The Epistle continues Paul's practical instructions in Romans 12. After last week's call to living sacrifice, now come the specifics: let love be genuine, bless those who persecute you, weep with those who weep, and overcome evil with good.For preachers continuing a series: last week's confession is followed this week by its cost. This is the turn from “who is Jesus?” to “what does following this Jesus mean?”The ReadingsExodus 3:1–15First Reading (Track One) — Moses at the Burning BushSummaryMoses is tending his father-in-law's flock in the wilderness of Sinai. He notices a bush that is on fire but not consumed, and turns aside to look. From the bush, God calls his name. God has heard the cry of the Israelites in Egypt; God is sending Moses to bring them out. Moses offers a series of objections — starting with “who am I to go?” and moving to the deeper question, “what is your name?” God's answer to the second is one of the most enigmatic sentences in the Bible: I AM WHO I AM — or I will be who I will be — a name whose tenses refuse to settle.Key Ideas for Preaching* The bush is on fire but not consumed. Moses turns aside to look. That turning aside is the whole beginning of the story. Where in your congregation might God be waiting for a turn of attention that no one has yet made?* Moses's first objection is “who am I?” God does not answer that question. God changes the subject to “I will be with you.” The confidence for the task, in this text, does not come from the sender knowing anything special about himself. It comes from the promise of God's presence. What does it look like to preach a call that does not require self-confidence, only God's promise?* The divine name — “I AM WHO I AM” — is deliberately unfixed. The Hebrew can mean “I am who I am,” “I will be who I will be,” or “I will be what I will be.” The name refuses to settle. Where has your congregation been trying to freeze God into a definition God has refused to be frozen into?* God calls Moses by name — the same Moses whose past includes murder, exile, and running away. This is not a call to a person who has proven himself. It is a call to a person whose past is complicated. Where in your congregation are people quietly assuming their past disqualifies them from what God might be calling them to now?Significant Cautions* The burning bush has become such a familiar image that it can be preached as a metaphor for any inspiring experience. It is more specific than that — a genuine encounter at a particular time and place with a particular commission attached.* “I AM WHO I AM” is contested territory in translation. Do not preach a confident philosophical reading of the divine name; the Hebrew resists that.* Moses's objections to the call are legitimate. He is not portrayed as faithless for offering them, and God takes them seriously. Do not use this passage to shame people who have their own honest objections to what they are being asked to do.Psalm 105:1–6, 23–26, 45cThe Psalm (Track One) — Remember the WondersSummaryThis section of the great remembering psalm focuses on the descent of Jacob's family into Egypt and God's raising up of Moses and Aaron to lead them out. The selected verses call the people to remember the wonders God has done — with Abraham, in Egypt, through Moses — and close with a single “hallelujah.”Key Ideas for Preaching* The psalm remembers Moses's story from a great distance — after everything worked out, after generations have passed. What might it mean for your congregation to make the same practice of long remembering, so that today's uncertain calls can be trusted to become tomorrow's remembered deliverances?* The psalm names Moses as God's “chosen” and Aaron as the one God “sent.” This is theological language for what looked, in the moment, like the reluctant conscription of two brothers who did not want the job. Where in your congregation has “chosen by God” language obscured how much resistance actual calls have met?Significant Cautions* The psalm's cheerful retrospect does not undo the pain the Israelites lived through in Egypt. Do not let the celebration minimize present suffering in your congregation.Jeremiah 15:15–21First Reading (Track Two) — Jeremiah's LamentSummaryJeremiah is in real distress. He accuses God of being unreliable — like a stream that goes dry when you need it most, “deceitful waters that cannot be trusted.” He has been faithful, he says. He has eaten God's words. He has not sat with the merrymakers. And still he is in pain. God's response is bracing rather than tender: if you turn back to me, I will take you back. If you utter what is precious and not what is worthless, you will serve as my mouth. And I will make you a fortified wall of bronze to this people — they will fight against you, but they will not prevail, for I am with you.Photo by Markus Spiske on UnsplashKey Ideas for Preaching* Jeremiah accuses God to God's face — of being unreliable, of failing him, of being like a stream that runs dry. This is not sinful speech; it is the honest lament of a prophet in pain. Where in your congregation has honest complaint to God been mistaken for faithlessness?* God's response is not soothing. It does not include an apology or a comforting explanation. It includes a call to return and a strengthening for the road ahead. What might your sermon do with a God who does not always answer our pain with sympathy but sometimes with a call to keep going?* God promises Jeremiah he will be like a fortified wall of bronze against opposition. Not that opposition will go away. That he will be strong enough for it. Where in your congregation are people needing strength for opposition that is not going away?Significant Cautions* Jeremiah's lament should not be preached as a warmup to a happy ending. The pain is real and the response is a call to keep going, not an assurance that the pain will end.* “Fortified wall of bronze” imagery has been used to encourage rigidity where flexibility was needed. The bronze wall is protection against opposition, not against learning.Psalm 26:1–8The Psalm (Track Two) — I Have Walked in IntegritySummaryA psalm of protested innocence and love for God's house. The psalmist asks God to vindicate him — he has walked in integrity, he does not sit with the wicked, he washes his hands in innocence. And he loves the house where God's glory dwells. It is a confident psalm, close to boasting, and honest about what the psalmist most wants.Key Ideas for Preaching* The psalmist's confidence sounds surprising to modern ears used to more humble language in prayer. But there is a real place in the psalter for asking God to notice when we have tried to be faithful. Where has your congregation been too shy to name, in prayer, the ways they have tried to be honest with God?* “I love the house in which you dwell, O Lord, and the place where your glory abides.” That is unabashed love for the community of worship. What might your sermon do with the specific love of the church as a spiritual practice worth honoring?Significant Cautions* The psalmist's claim of innocence has been used to prop up self-righteousness. Read in context, it is a plea for a fair hearing, not a claim to moral perfection.Romans 12:9–21The Epistle — Let Love Be GenuineSummaryPaul continues the practical section of Romans 12 — one of the most concentrated ethical passages in his letters. Let love be genuine. Hate what is evil; hold fast to what is good. Love one another with mutual affection; outdo one another in showing honor. Be joyful in hope, patient in suffering, persevering in prayer. Extend hospitality to strangers. Bless those who persecute you — bless, and do not curse. Rejoice with those who rejoice; weep with those who weep. Do not repay evil with evil. So far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all. And the closing: do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.Key Ideas for Preaching* “Let love be genuine.” That is Paul's opening. Not “let love be adequate.” Not “let love be present.” Genuine — un-performed, un-simulated, the real thing. Where in your congregation has the love been well-intentioned but not quite genuine, and how might Paul's opening word press on that?* “Weep with those who weep” is often quoted; “rejoice with those who rejoice” is often skipped. Weeping is expected; rejoicing at someone else's joy is harder. Where in your congregation has envy quietly kept people from rejoicing when their neighbors flourish?* The closing — “do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good” — is Paul's summary of Christian resistance. Not retaliation. Not passive absorption. Active good, offered in response to what is wrong. What might your sermon do to make that both concrete and credible in a world where retaliation feels satisfying?Significant Cautions* “Bless those who persecute you” has been used to tell people to endure abuse. That is a serious misuse. Paul is describing a posture toward hostility in the world, not endorsing continued relationship with people who are harming you.* “So far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all” contains an important qualifier — “so far as it depends on you.” Some peace is not available because the other party does not want it. Paul does not require Christians to manufacture what the other side refuses.Matthew 16:21–28The Gospel — Get Behind Me, and Take Up Your CrossSummaryImmediately after Peter's confession, Jesus begins to teach the disciples that he must go to Jerusalem, suffer at the hands of the elders and chief priests, be killed, and on the third day be raised. Peter takes him aside and rebukes him: “God forbid it, Lord! This must never happen to you.” Jesus turns and says the sharpest word he ever says to a disciple: “Get behind me, Satan! You are a stumbling block to me, for you are setting your mind not on divine things but on human things.” Then he speaks to all the disciples: those who want to become his followers must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. Those who want to save their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for his sake will find it. What does it profit to gain the whole world and lose your soul?Key Ideas for Preaching* The turn from last week is immediate and jarring. Peter has just been blessed for confessing Jesus as the Messiah; now he is called Satan for objecting to the Messiah's actual road. Confessing Christ, Matthew is saying, is not the same as following the Christ we have confessed. How might your sermon hold together the great confession of last week and the correction of this one?* Peter's rebuke is not evil; it is protective. He wants to keep Jesus from being killed. But he is setting his mind on human things — a natural, understandable concern for his teacher's safety — and Jesus names it as a stumbling block. Where in your congregation has protective love for a person or an institution quietly blocked what God was doing?* “Take up your cross” is language we have to handle with care. The cross was a real Roman instrument of execution. It was terrifying. Jesus is not offering a metaphor for daily annoyances. He is naming a life that follows him in a direction the world will not always thank you for going. What does it look like to preach this without either domesticating it into inconvenience or making it inaccessible to ordinary lives?* “Those who want to save their life will lose it; those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” This is one of the most repeated sayings of Jesus, and one of the most abused. The saving Jesus promises is not the reward for a sufficiently self-denying life. It is the shape of a life ordered toward him rather than toward self-preservation. Where might your congregation be preserving lives that are already shrinking, when Jesus is inviting them to lose lives that would open?Significant Cautions* “Deny yourself” and “take up your cross” have been used, throughout church history, to tell abused women to stay in dangerous marriages, enslaved people to accept their bondage, and the poor to endure exploitation. This is a grievous misuse. Preachers must be clear that Jesus is speaking to disciples about the cost of following him, not blessing anyone else's exploitation.* “Get behind me, Satan” has sometimes been used as a script for shutting down people who disagree with us. Jesus is speaking to his closest friend about a specific issue — the necessity of the cross. He is not modeling how to end arguments with people whose theology annoys us.* “Gain the whole world and lose your soul” is famous but often preached in a way that reduces it to individual moralism. In Matthew, “life” is closer to “whole self” than to “immortal soul.” The trade-off is not primarily about heaven; it is about what kind of person we are becoming.Thematic ConnectionsThe Gospel is the natural center — the immediate turn from last week's confession to this week's cost. Peter's rock-solid answer is followed by the road Jesus intends to walk with it. This is the pivot in Matthew's Gospel from Galilee toward Jerusalem, and everything else will be read in its light.On Track One, Moses at the burning bush pairs with the Gospel in a specific way. Both texts are about calls that come with resistance. Moses objects that he is not adequate; Peter objects that Jesus should not have to suffer. Both objections are met with a call to trust God's presence rather than the objector's understanding of the situation. The bush that is on fire and not consumed is a picture of the God who calls Jesus to a cross that will not consume him either.On Track Two, Jeremiah's lament and God's bracing response give us a picture of what following God actually feels like from the inside. The prophet in pain, the God who does not soothe but strengthens, the fortified wall against opposition that will not disappear — this is the shape of the road Jesus is naming in the Gospel. Peter wants to keep Jesus off Jeremiah's road. Jesus is walking it deliberately.Romans 12 sits inside the day as the practical extension. If Peter's confession is true and Jesus's road is what the confession means, then Christian community life has to be shaped by this — genuine love, blessing of enemies, overcoming evil with good. Paul is describing what a community of cross-shaped disciples actually looks like.For preachers continuing a series: last week the summer arc reached its climactic confession. This week the confession is corrected — or rather, its true meaning is revealed. Following the Christ we have confessed will not look like keeping him safe. It will look like walking with him toward the road he chose. This is a public episode.

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Welcome to The Times of Israel's Daily Briefing, your 20-minute audio update on what's happening in Israel, the Middle East and the Jewish world. Military correspondent Emanuel Fabian joins host Amanda Borschel-Dan for today's episode. Reports circulated on Hebrew-language media last night that Israel suspects that two Arab states are plotting to attack Israel by lulling it into a false sense of security through fake diplomatic agreements. According to two separate reports published by the Kan public broadcaster and Channel 12, the two countries — neither of which is identified by name due to an Israeli censor-dictated blackout — would sign diplomatic agreements with Israel to “anesthetize” the Jewish state and remove any unwanted scrutiny while building up forces. In light of these reports, we take a tour of Israel's borders and discuss IDF operations on each front at this time, from illegal civilian crossings into Syria and Lebanon to efforts to combat smuggling on the border with Egypt. With a recent Board of Peace push to disarm Hamas, has the IDF stepped away from utilizing the "Nili" intelligence unit targeting Hamas terrorists who participated in the October 7, 2023, onslaught on southern Israel? In Lebanon, we hear about how the first pilot IDF pullout is proceeding and whether the military is already planning similar steps. And finally, we learn about a new push to fortify the border with Jordan. Check out The Times of Israel's ongoing liveblog for more updates.

Since 2024, the Louisiana Fortify Homes Program has been holding a lottery where lucky winners receive a grant of up to $10,000 to install a Fortified roof on their home — thus qualifying for lower home insurance rates. For those that don't win the lottery, however, or who received a grant, but it fell short of covering the costs, FHLB Bank of Dallas is offering grants of up to $17,000 per home through its area member banks. Greg Hettrick, senior vice president and director of community investment at FHLB Dallas, shares more about this little-known opportunity and why interested homeowners should move quickly.

True freedom isn't found in doing whatever we want, but in following Jesus. Christ sets us free from sin and bondage so we can live for Him, love others, and fulfill the purpose He created us for.

For generations, Americans have been taught that foods labeled “enriched” and “fortified” are healthier options because vitamins and minerals have been added to the food. Yet few people stop to ask what those added nutrients are, how they are manufactured, or how they interact with the body. Thomas Levy, MD, JD, has spent decades researching nutrition, oxidative stress, cardiovascular health, and the impact of synthetic compounds on human physiology. In fact, many years ago Dr. Levy created a video about Iron in Cereals. Recently, Dr. Levy met with the 26th United States Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., to discuss concerns about enriched and fortified foods and the need for greater awareness surrounding what is being added to the modern food supply. Dr. Levy will share the science behind enrichment and fortification, the potential unintended consequences of synthetic additives, and why returning to nutrient-dense whole foods may be one of the most important steps we can take toward protecting our health. Now you can listen commercial free at your leisure…Click here and let's grow together: Thomas Levy, MD, JD, The Hidden Truth About Enriched & Fortified Foods If you love this podcast episode, share it with a friend.

Shop my all-natural skincare products at Arvoti.com.The version of milk most people grew up with is not the version nature made, and the difference matters more than people think.I've been drinking raw milk for five or six years, starting with a weekly drop-off from a farm four hours away, then driving 90 minutes each week to get it, then raising my own Jersey cow, and now milking my own dairy goats and sheep.Most people only know the gallon jug version of milk. Standardized. Pasteurized. Homogenized. Fortified.They've never watched cream rise on its own. They've never tasted milk from an animal foraging on pasture. They've never questioned why the cream gets stripped out and sold back to them as ice cream, while the milk gets refortified with synthetic vitamins.In this episode, I go over what raw milk contains, what processing does to it, and how I grew up drinking skim milk during a generation now dealing with skyrocketing hormone issues.If anyone has ever pushed back on you about raw milk, this is the episode that helps you stand your ground.You'll Learn:[0:00] Introduction[4:03] Why generations valued raw milk and what the headlines never tell you[8:36] How skim milk, fortification, and the ice cream industry profit off the same gallon twice[11:31] All 22 essential minerals, complete amino acids, and why one food can do it all[13:56] What pasteurization destroys and why filthy dairies were the real problem[15:59] Homogenization, fat globules, and why convenience changed milk forever[17:30] Why fat-free milk strips the very delivery system your hormones depend on[20:48] Soil, happy animals, and the connection that makes milk worth drinkingRelated Gubba Homestead Episodes:5 Things Women Aren't Told About Healthcare Products & ScreeningsResources Mentioned:Root Revival Hair Serum | ShopFind more from Gubba:Gubba Homestead | X | Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | WebsiteGubba Homestead Products | Shop

Alethea Felton shares on this episode of the Vibrant Living Podcast about obedience, uncertainty, leadership, and what happens when God asks you to move before you fully understand where He is taking you. Alethea talks about fear, transition, trust, mentorship, and learning that authority does not come from having everything figured out. It grows through obedience, often long before confidence shows up. This is an honest conversation for anyone who has ever felt stretched between what feels safe and what they sense God calling them toward. This conversation was originally recorded during FORTIFIED: Women Rising in Authority, Ease, and Joy.In this episode, we talk about:Obedience and spiritual authorityFear, uncertainty, and trustLeadership and growthMentorship and supportMoving before you feel fully readyLearning to discern God's direction

This week we sat down with Hunter Barrett of Fortified Cotton Seed to break down one of the most talked-about shifts in modern whitetail management—moving away from traditional corn piles and high-cost protein feeds toward a more natural, cost-effective alternative.Hunter walks us through how cottonseed-based supplementation is being used by land managers and hunters across the South to support body condition, antler growth, and herd health without the drawbacks that often come with heavy corn feeding. We dig into when and how to use cottonseed, how it compares nutritionally to corn and pelleted protein, and what role it can realistically play in year-round deer management strategies.Whether you manage a small food plot or thousands of acres, this conversation challenges the way we think about supplemental feeding for whitetail deer and offers practical insight you can apply right away heading into the season.https://fortifiedcottonseed.com/DAYTONA 55 TICKETS!!!- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/event/daytona-55/#tribe-tickets__tickets-formHangFree- https://hangfree.co/ Use code UPO10 at checkout for 10% off your next order!Dayton Archers Club- https://daytonaarchersinc.com/ Mention UPO and get 10% off your membershipBecome a Patron- https://www.patreon.com/user?u=45295718UPO Gear & Such- https://uponation.co/ UPO Social Media- https://linktr.ee/underpressureoutdoors

There's a difference between knowing about God and learning how to stay connected to Him in the middle of real life. In this conversation from FORTIFIED: Women Rising in Authority, Ease, and Joy, Laurie Cavanaugh shares her journey through burnout, breast cancer, striving, healing, and rediscovering a personal relationship with God through the practice of praise. What makes Laurie's story powerful is not perfection. It's honesty.

And she shares how praise became more than worship for her. It became healing. Alignment. Activation. A way of living.In this episode, we talk about:✨ The difference between performing and truly connecting with God✨ Burnout, striving, and emotional exhaustion✨ How praise shifts your internal atmosphere✨ Healing after difficult seasons✨ Why support and accountability matter✨ Learning to receive help before everything falls apartLaurie's message from FORTIFIED is called: The Power of Praise to Heal, Transform, and Activate

864.Does putting spinach in your smoothie cancel out the calcium? Will your morning cup of tea prevent you from absorbing iron? In this episode, Monica looks into the science of mineral absorption and explores the truth behind "anti-nutrients" like oxalates, tannins, and fiber.While certain compounds in food can bind to minerals—like the oxalates in spinach or tannins in tea—the body has built-in buffers to keep you healthy. In this episode, we discuss:The Spinach paradox: Why the calcium in greens isn't always bioavailable.Iron inhibitors: How coffee and tea affect iron levels (and how Vitamin C can help).The fiber myth: Why a high-fiber diet won't lead to mineral deficiencies.Fortified foods vs. supplements: Is calcium-fortified orange juice or soymilk better than a pill?The good news is the RDA (Recommended Dietary Allowance) already accounts for these interactions. Tune in to learn why a varied diet is your best defense and why you probably don't need to micromanage your meals to get the minerals you need.Nutrition Diva is a Quick and Dirty Tips podcast, hosted by Monica Reinegal.New to Nutrition Diva?

The financial sector didn't just enable Jeffrey Epstein—they fortified him. For decades, elite institutions like JPMorgan Chase continued to do business with Epstein long after his 2008 conviction for soliciting a minor, ignoring internal warnings, compliance red flags, and credible allegations of abuse. High-ranking executives maintained close relationships, funneled vast sums through opaque accounts, and even joked about his grotesque proclivities in internal emails. Bankers helped him move millions across borders, granted him access to ultra-wealthy clients, and never asked the kind of questions they would demand from an average customer depositing a suspicious $10,000. These weren't oversights—they were decisions. Deliberate, profitable, and saturated with moral rot.At every turn, the financial institutions chose profit over principle. They ignored the trail of victims, the mountain of press coverage, and the glaring signs of criminality, all in exchange for Epstein's connections and capital. Even as civil suits piled up and survivors came forward, these firms were more concerned with protecting their reputations than cutting ties with a known predator. The result wasn't just a financial scandal—it was systemic complicity. The banks didn't just launder his money. They laundered his legitimacy, allowing him to continue operating as a global financier, when in truth he was running an empire built on exploitation and secrecy.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com
