Disappointment is something all of us experience. Sometimes it comes because we've been genuinely hurt. Sometimes it comes because someone has failed us. And sometimes it comes from expectations we didn't even realize we were carrying. How do we respond when someone doesn't react the way we hoped? What do we do when disappointment begins to take root in our hearts? One reminder that has helped me over the years is this: We see a moment. God sees the whole picture.

We explore the rich history, culture, and flavors of Somalia through food and storytelling. Joining us is Somali-born writer, chef, and recipe developer Ifrah F. Ahmed, author of the new cookbook Soomaaliya. Through more than 70 recipes, Ifrah shares the traditions, resilience, and global influences that have shaped Somali cuisine for generations — from fragrant xawaash spice blends and spiced teas to goat stews, rice dishes, seafood, and sweet pastries. We'll discuss preserving culinary traditions, the role food plays in identity and migration, and why Somali cuisine deserves a larger place on the global stage.Event Information:Free Library of Philadelphia presents an evening with Ifrah F.

Life feels full for so many of us. There are responsibilities to manage, people to care for, work to do, ministries to serve in, and homes to tend. And while those things are often good gifts from the Lord, busyness and faithfulness are not always the same thing. Sharing some encouragement from God's Word for those seasons when life begins to feel hurried and spiritually weary, when our hearts slowly become distracted in the middle of full days.  My prayer is that this episode encourages you to slow down a bit, rest in Christ, and become more present in the people and moments the Lord has placed right in front of you.

It's that time of year when Philadelphians are making their summer plans. And that means it's time to book those weeks and weekends down the shore. But with several dozen towns along the New Jersey coastline, where are we supposed to go? Which boardwalk is the best? Where do we take the kids? Where do we party? That's why we're listening back to our conversation with journalist and Jersey Shore expert Jen Miller about some of her hacks for navigating the beaches, boardwalks, and partying along the coastline.  This episode originally aired April 29, 2025.  Our newsletter has Philly news & events in your inbox every weekday morning.

I've been spending time in 2 Corinthians 2:14–16, where Paul says that as believers we are the aroma of Christ. It's such a beautiful and sobering picture to think about how our lives, our words, our attitudes, and even the atmosphere of our homes are meant to reflect Him. In this episode, we talk about what it means to carry the fragrance of Christ in the ordinary moments of everyday life. The hidden faithfulness, the quiet sacrifices, the ways the Lord is shaping us through our daily work, our relationships, and even the moments where we feel our need for His grace most deeply. This was such a good reminder to my own heart that the gospel is not just for the big moments of life. We need it right in the middle of our ordinary Tuesday afternoons too. I pray this episode encourages you to keep looking to Christ and to remember that the Lord is faithfully at work in all the everyday moments of life at home.

Philadelphia is preparing for a once-in-a-generation moment—a historic summer in 2026 that will bring the world to our city. From the global excitement of the FIFA World Cup 2026 to the Major League Baseball All-Star Game 2026 and the celebration of America's 250th birthday, more than half a million visitors are expected. Joining us is Michael Newmuis, Philadelphia's Director for 2026, along with Deputy Director Tyrone Dixon, to discuss how the city is preparing for this global moment—and how they're working to ensure every neighborhood benefits through economic opportunity, community engagement, and safe, accessible experiences for residents and visitors alike.  Then, as Philadelphia celebrates World Heritage Month this May, we turn to the power of food to connect cultures. Chef Mia Castro—a Puerto Rican chef, television personality, and author—joins us ahead of her appearance at the Free Library of Philadelphia on Wednesday, May 14th from 6:00 to 7:30 PM. She'll share stories and recipes from her debut cookbook Cocina Puerto Rico: Recipes from My Abuela's Kitchen to Yours as part of A Celebration of the Global Culinary Arts, presented in partnership with Global Philadelphia Association.  We also speak with Atima Omara, a nationally recognized political strategist, speaker, and author of the forthcoming book The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy (And What We Can Learn From Them). Drawing on more than two decades of experience in progressive politics, Atima highlights the powerful—and often overlooked—role Black women have played in shaping American democracy, offering both inspiration and a roadmap for today's political moment. Stay with us.

Doug and I are walking through the next season the Lord has for us right now, and it has me reflecting on so much. It's a season we walked through 14 years ago when Doug's parents were living in our home and we were caring for his sweet mom in her final days. And now we find ourselves here again, this time with his dad. As I share a bit of what this season has looked like for us, I want to come back to the truths that have anchored me, and what God's Word says about honoring our parents and loving well in this stage of life. My prayer is that it encourages your heart, wherever the Lord has you right now.

Philadelphia boasts dozens of clubs, civic organizations, and communities that can help denizens get connected and stay engaged. But finding those groups, especially as a busy adult, can be a real challenge. That's why Brian Adoff started Join Philly, an organization that helps people join groups that matter to them – everything from volunteering at the Free Library to connecting with fellow succulent lovers at Cactus Club. Host Trenae Nuri sat down with Brian to talk about the second annual activities fair, a free event where Philadelphians can meet representatives from more than 40 clubs and sign up for something new. Think of it like club day at school – but for grown-ups! City Cast Philly is proud to be the official host and media partner of the Philadelphia Activities Fair.

From the Richards Free Library, Sally Bernier is here as we talk about Bookport, different rooms in the Library, D&D, Storytime, teen board games, book club, what's happening for St Patricks Day, what you can check out from the Library, and lots more.

In a world that moves quickly, it's easy to live at a pace that leaves our hearts hurried and distracted. In this episode, I'm sharing reflections from a slower season away and what the Lord has been teaching me about the pace of my days. It's easy to fill every quiet space with noise and constant input. But when I look at the life of Jesus, I see something different. I see presence. Unhurried conversations. Intentional time with people. Quiet moments in prayer. The pace of our days doesn't just affect our schedules. It affects our souls. We'll talk about how ordinary life is where God meets us, how our daily patterns shape our hearts, and how small, intentional choices help us reclaim presence in a distracted world. Looking at the example of Christ and the encouragement of Psalm 1, we'll be reminded that reclaiming ordinary life doesn't require dramatic changes. It begins with small steps of faithfulness right where God has placed us.

The Author Events Series presents Larry Magid | The Philadelphia Music Book In Conversation with Sam Katz Montgomery Auditorium is now sold out, but tickets are still available for a live simulcast screening in a separate room at the Parkway Central Library. The Philadelphia Music Book: Sounds of a City is a 340 page coffee table book that contains 284 bios of musicians and music industry people from Philadelphia who have made a national or international impact in their work. Additionally, there are stories about the forerunners to modern music in the city, information about historic venues, and accounts of some major music events and festivals that took place in our area. It is a reflection of Philadelphia's great talents in many genres  including Rock & Roll, Folk, Americana, Jazz, the Blues, Classical, Musical Theatre, Hip Hop, EDM and music on the radio, television and movies among other topics. It's a must read for anyone interested in music or the history of Philadelphia. Larry Magid, along with his partners Allen, Jerry, and Herb Spivak, created the Electric Factory - first, the club, and then the concerts. Magid was just a kid himself then, but he quickly became the godfather of Philly's counterculture, a pied piper for a generation. Larry Magid may have helped turn pop music into a 20th-century art form, but, far from forgetting his West Philly roots, he revels in them. During his teen years, he learned how much music can stir a soul at the Uptown Theater's R & B shows, and - despite being seen as a tough businessman in the Wild West of the rock industry - he remains in it for the right reasons. Rocking the world, Magid knows, changes it.  Sam Katz is a lifelong Philadelphian who has experienced a diverse and unique career in public and project finance, venture capital, civic affairs, development, politics and documentary filmmaking. Sam had a nearly three-decade career in public and project finance including the financings for the Wells Fargo Center and Baltimore's Camden Yards.  He served as CEO for a major civic organization, launched and managed a regional venture capital fund and was a candidate for mayor of Philadelphia. Sam also serves as a consultant to Comcast-Spectacor and the Philadelphia Phillies and is the founder of the Histories Collaborative of Philadelphia. Sam is a graduate of Central High School, Johns Hopkins University and the New School for Social Research. Sam and Connie Katz have lived in West Mt. Airy for 40 years where they try hard to spoil their seven grandchildren. The Philadelphia Music Alliance was founded in June 1986 as a community-based, not-for-profit organization dedicated to the preservation of Philadelphia as one of the nation's oldest and most prolific music capitals.  Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable.

Ephesians 4 shows us how change happens in the Christian life: we put off the old self, renew our minds with God's truth, and put on the new self created in Christ. In this episode we talk through that pattern and how it plays out in marriage, parenting, friendships, our time, and our words.

A black line on the floor marks the U.S.-Canada border that runs through the Haskell Free Library, and through the lives of the people who live in Stanstead, Quebec and Derby Line, Vermont.Matt Galloway hosts a live show in this unique venue, after months of simmering political tensions that have tested the enduring friendship of the two countries. We hear from bestselling author Louise Penny, musical guest Patrick Watson and local residents who live the reality of the border line, every day.

Selfishness is one of those quiet sins that can easily slip into our hearts and homes. It often hides behind good intentions or small excuses, but God's Word doesn't leave us there. In this episode, we'll look at what the Bible says about selfishness and how the gospel frees us to love others with the heart of Christ. We'll spend time in Philippians 2 and talk about what it means to deny ourselves daily, serve as Jesus served, and find joy in living for Him. My prayer is that this conversation helps you see the everyday moments like folding laundry, forgiving, listening, and serving as ways to love others and bring glory to the Lord.

A gentle and quiet spirit isn't weakness. It is strength under God's control. It reflects trust in His sovereignty, not striving to be seen or heard. This kind of beauty doesn't fade with age. It is lasting, Christlike, and precious in God's sight (1 Peter 3:3–4).⁣ ⁣ If you're struggling to cultivate this spirit in your own life, you're not alone. Ask the Lord to grow it in you. Spend time in His Word. Look to Christ. He is gentle and lowly in heart, and He is faithful to complete the work He begins in us.⁣ Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.  Free Encouraging Your Husband PDF RESOURCES: Join Thankful Homemaker for access to the Free Library of Resources Follow ThankfulHomemaker on Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest & Instagram Patreon Support Join the Thankful Homemaker Facebook Group Subscribe to the Podcast on Your Favorite App  Online Courses & Printables Thankful Homemaker Merchandise Buy Marci a Cup of Coffee xo  ⁣

Biblical communication isn't just about getting our children to listen or obey—it's about shepherding their hearts. It's discipleship. This episode is for every parent or grandparent who has ever struggled to know what to say, how to say it, or when to say it. We're looking at what it means to communicate with grace, listen with patience, and speak the truth in love—whether with toddlers, teens, or adult children. God has given us the beautiful calling of pointing our children to Christ—and one of the most powerful tools He's given us to do that is our words.

The girl, dressed in a pretty pink dress, poses for a photograph sat on the knee of a young man, smartly dressed in a tuxedo. They could be any young couple, but are not, for whilst she smiles broadly, he cannot, through pain, and inability. She then approaches the young man in the tuxedo, and brandishing a knife, proceeds to mutilate his chest with it, carving her initials into him.She then approaches him with a cellar of salt, and his terrified eyes widen as she pours it into the wound….Sounds like a bad movie? It is, it's a scene from a 2009 Australian horror movie called The Loved Ones – except that in 2012, in the English city of Chester, someone thought life should imitate art….The episode contains details and descriptions of crimes and events, involving descriptions of injury detail, that some listeners may find disturbing or distressing, so discretion is advised whilst listening in.

We're all navigating decisions for our families in a world that feels louder and more opinionated than ever. But your standard isn't someone else's story—it's Christ.   The best choices for your home are shaped by God's Word, by prayer, and by the unity you and your husband seek before the Lord.   This encouragement is for the young mama in the thick of it—and for the older woman who's walked through those seasons and learned to lean on the Lord. It's a call to seek wisdom, walk in grace, and trust that Jesus truly is enough.   Head over to ThankfulHomemaker.com for full show notes on all the links and resources mentioned in today's episode.  Free Encouraging Your Husband PDF RESOURCES: Join Thankful Homemaker for access to the Free Library of Resources Follow ThankfulHomemaker on Facebook, YouTube, Pinterest & Instagram Patreon Support Join the Thankful Homemaker Facebook Group Subscribe to the Podcast on Your Favorite App  Online Courses & Printables Thankful Homemaker Merchandise Buy Marci a Cup of Coffee xo
