The week our loan got approved should've been the easy win. Instead, the space we'd picked for Big J's Replays got rented out from under us, and we had to pivot hard—calling brokers, scouting a strip behind the mall, and negotiating shelves, gondolas, glass cases, and rolling racks like we were speedrunning retail Tetris. We get honest about the messy middle: protecting cash flow, asking for written holds, and buying fixtures that make a store feel intentional on day one.We also open up about losing Ernie, our 17-year-old cat who shaped our mornings and softened our edges. The house is quieter now, and we talk through the practical pieces—pet cremation with a careful local team—and the emotional ones, like the tiny habits you miss and the humor you need to get through it. That same mix of heart and hustle shows up in our branding choices: a cartoon Blue Jay, a vinyl ring, and clean lines built for window clings and phone screens. The name “Big J's Replays” stretches to fit games, vinyl, turntables, and whatever retro formats we can give a second life.Between the heavy moments, we keep the culture chat alive—Spaceballs 2 rumors, why comedic timing matters, and a music share from From Ashes to New. We sketch out a “rave night” vision with legit sound, lights, and a safe, high-energy space for the local crowd. Because great shops don't just sell; they host moments. If you're building something similar—wrestling with real estate, brand choices, or community ideas—you'll find sharp takeaways and a few laughs to carry you through.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a friend who's starting something, and drop us a note: would you roll through for a techno night?Send us a text message and let us know how awesome we are!

In life, we all walk through seasons of loss, grief, or brokenness that leave us feeling like we're standing in ashes. But God never leaves us there. In this powerful message, “From Ashes to Beauty” from the series Healed, Whole, and Upgraded, Pastor Verna DeHart of Soul Harvest Worship Center shares the hope of Isaiah 61:3—that God exchanges ashes for beauty, mourning for joy, and heaviness for praise.From Psalm 34 to Jeremiah 29, we are reminded that God heals the brokenhearted, restores what was lost, and makes all things new. Whether your pain is physical, emotional, or from betrayal and loss, His Word promises strength, restoration, and peace that never fades.No matter what has been burned away in your life, God's promise is clear: He will guide you, water your dry places, and turn your ashes into beauty. This is your season to be healed, whole, and upgraded.

What happens when the very laws meant to protect children instead give predators a license to abuse? In this episode of Your Radical Truth Podcast, host Margaret Mary O'Connor speaks with survivor, advocate, and bestselling author Donna Simmons, whose life story exposes the devastating reality of child marriage in the United States. Donna reveals how systemic failures, generational trauma, and outdated laws continue to silence survivors and perpetuate abuse. At just 16, she was forced into marriage—a betrayal legitimized by the system itself. Rather than remain silent, Donna transformed her pain into purpose. Today she leads the fight to end child marriage, hold institutions accountable, and empower survivors to reclaim their voices. Her memoir, From Ashes to Flame, is more than a personal story. It is a call to action, urging lawmakers and communities alike to confront the truth and demand change. This conversation is raw, urgent, and necessary. Tune in to hear how Donna Simmons is breaking cycles of trauma, challenging systemic betrayal, and sparking a movement for justice. Listen now: www.YourRadicalTruth.com/044-Donna-Simmons

Today's episode is in response to feedback I got from the two previous episodes. Listeners were asking how to dig deeper into topics about homelessness, addiction, going off the rails. So today we'll look at estrangement and discuss aspects of it, like thoughts and feelings , utilizing the model of the Russian dolls from the From Ashes to Destiny curriculum. I hope you enjoy it.

This Wacky Wednesday episode is from Chapter 17 of Phase 4 of the From Ashes to Destiny curriculum. We take a look at the first story from the chapter which is the story of Tim. He lost his job working with horses at the racetrack due to his addiction and horses were his life. Tim said he lost his life and had No Reason to Get Clean. What is your reason to get clean and to stay clean? Does your family know where you are right now? Why would you hesitate to let them know? These questions and more on today's episode.

This episode is the final Wacky Wednesday episode as it covers the last chapter of the From Ashes to Destiny Curriculum. The story for this episode is the story of Toons who was a street corner drug seller who called it "honest work" because he didn't mug anyone or boost any stores for money because he got paid by the dealer in crack cocaine. Questions in this episode include: What foolishness are you caught up in? What makes you feel like a fool? What has total importance in your life that it can interrupt whatever you're doing anytime? What must you do to find your hope and future?

This is the second Wacky Wednesday episode for today and it deals with the first story from Chapter 16 of Phase 4 of the From Ashes to Destiny curriculum. This story looks at two men who "fell out" or OD'd from heroin. Mohammed was saved by CPR and Narcan. Webster died and was moved to the bushes and robbed by his friends. Mohammed chose life and never did any drugs again. What experiences have you had or witnessed with OD? What changes would you make if you, like Mohammed, chose life? Webster's OD happened on his first bag after two months in rehab. What was his mistake? What would be your mistake that doesn't seem like a mistake in the moment?

Welcome to Wacky Wednesday! In today's episode we look at Brian's story from Chapter 15 of Phase 4 of the From Ashes to Destiny curriculum. This story has to do with finding spirituality in rehab and how Brian found transformation as a result of finding spirituality. What things have your eyes been opened up to in rehab, a homeless shelter, prison, a halfway house? How has your faith and understanding grown? How has it become your new foundation for character development? These questions and more in this episode.

Welcome to today's Wacky Wednesday episode as we start Phase 4 of the From Ashes to Destiny curriculum. This episode is from Chapter 13 of Phase 4 and deals with the story of IOU.

IOU's story ends with him waiting for the morning bus to go back to rehab, but for him the morning never came. Are you ready to stop waiting for tomorrow, for your morning bus?
