Most people don't have self control over anything! If you don't have self control it will lead to many more issues in your life. Self control is also one of the "Fruits of the Spirit!" The lack of self control can lead to different addictions (sex, food, drugs, alcohol), and other things such as negative thoughts, anger, etc., that ultimately causes many problems for people. What you don't have self control over, will control you! It goes back to the mindset that a person has, because we all have free will to exert self contol, but we all don't use it for the good in our own lives. Hence why, people have no self control in many areas of their lives!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/relationships-and-relatable-life-chronicles--4126439/support.

Fruits of the Spirit - Goodness - 31st August 2025 - Various by St Paul's Leamington Spa

So let's just say that's not what we expected when we first approached them to talk about extending the life and quality of fresh products.↳可以说，当我们最初带着延长新鲜农产品寿命与品质的想法去找他们时，得到的回应完全出乎我们的意料。But we can't change this thinking alone. And we're not a silver bullet to end food waste ourselves. But thankfully there are lots of start-ups, scale-ups, organizations and individuals all around the world working to transform this post-harvest space. And we're optimistic that our one small innovation, using common ingredients inspired by the ancient wisdom of plants, is playing its part and having an impact, reinventing the food system and helping to create abundance for all. Thanks so much.但仅靠我们自己无法改变这种思维方式，我们也不是解决食物浪费的万能钥匙。幸运的是，全球还有许多初创公司、成长型企业、组织和个人，一起努力改变采后处理这一领域。我们很乐观，相信我们这项小小的创新——用植物的古老智慧启发的常见成分——正在发挥作用，正在产生影响，帮助重塑食物系统，并为所有人创造更多的丰盈。非常感谢。Thank you.谢谢大家。Incredible, thank you, Jenny.太棒了，谢谢你，珍妮。I feel like, when I buy avocados and then I bring them home, and then I blink and they are rotten. How long could you extend the shelf life of an avocado?↳我常常觉得，我一买牛油果回家，眨眼间它们就烂了。你们能把牛油果的保质期延长多久呢？In your experience, maybe you have this, too, there's like a day, a day and a half when they're like, perfect. Like, avocado toast, cuttable, before you're like, do I sacrifice them to guacamole? And so it takes that day and a half and extend it to four days. Maybe you're actually going to have a chance to use it before you throw it away.根据你的经验，你可能也遇到过这种情况：牛油果只有大约一天或一天半的时间是最佳状态——可以完美做牛油果吐司，切开正合适。过了这段时间，你就要考虑是不是只能做成鳄梨酱了。而我们的技术能把那一天半的最佳时间延长到四天。这样，你可能真的能在它坏掉前用得上。So you're more than doubling. And when you're spraying things that don't have a shell, does it have a taste or a smell or anything?所以你们等于是把时间延长了一倍多。那么当这种涂层用在没有硬壳的食物上时，会不会带有味道或气味呢？No, they're very neutral. So no taste, no smell. You saw we used a little of it. It's like a strange thing we do around the office, which is like, eat the fruit, lick the surface, like, confirm that. But we've also done it with credible other institutions, like universities doing these blind taste tests with strawberries. And you can't tell that there's anything on them.不会，它们非常中性，没有味道，也没有气味。你看到我们只用了一点点。在办公室里我们甚至有个奇怪的小实验——吃水果后舔一舔表面，来确认这点。但我们也和一些权威机构合作过，比如大学，用草莓做过盲测，结果是人们完全分辨不出来水果表面有任何东西。Amazing. 太棒了

On this Hort Day episode, we learn how patience and perfect timing are the keys to a delicious fruit harvest.

This week, Amy makes a common Google Maps mistake involving the avoid highways option. The ladies agree, you can't make up your own nickname. Also, if someone calls you a “free spirit”, it's not a compliment. Amy witnesses two 20-something boys show up for an early morning pickleball match after a wild night out. They are both wearing Birkenstocks, and one of them is just wearing swim trunks. Racket Report: A text chain, armchair meteorologist will do anything to play tennis. Hot tip: Rao's lasagna is the best boxed lasagna. Maya reviews the movie Freaky Tales starring Pedro Pascal, narrated by Too Short. She also reviews the new Jason Momoa show, Chief of War. Don't even get us started about pineapples and the Dole family. Also, pineapple is the most difficult of fruits, and it's definitely not worth clear-cutting a rainforest for. Amy decides Jason Momoa's body doesn't make sense in clothes. She also takes us way back to Baywatch: Hawaii. Maya also reviews the latest Jurassic Park movie. Maya is skeptical about the dog in the new Superman movie. Also, she only likes the Christopher Reeve Superman. Approved/Denied: Co-living with 12 strangers and the Tired Girl Makeup Trend.

Yahweh grafts believers into a living vine, not a new plant, demonstrating His ongoing commitment to His original promises made to Abraham. This process strengthens the overall plant and allows for the bearing of diverse fruits, symbolizing the diverse ways believers contribute to Yahweh's kingdom.

So thinking about replacing a standard waxing step, for example.比如说，可以考虑用这种方式来取代传统的水果打蜡工序。We've made good progress since those early days in the garage. We've established a supply chain for responsibly sourced, high-purity ingredients. We've demonstrated safety and effectiveness to regulators in the US, the European Union and more than 40 additional countries around the world. And while we're still relatively small and early in our journey, we have a presence in about 10 markets worldwide.自从在车库里起步的那些早期日子以来，我们已经取得了显著的进展。我们建立了一个负责任的供应链，能够提供高纯度的原料。我们向美国、欧盟以及全球40多个国家的监管机构证明了这一方法的安全性与有效性。虽然我们依然是一个相对小型、处于早期阶段的公司，但如今我们已经进入了全球约10个市场。What I'm most proud of, though, it's why we got into all of this in the first place. And that is that since 2021, when we started measuring, we've prevented 166 million pieces of produce from going to waste. In doing that, that's avoided the emissions of more than 29,000 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions, which is equivalent to planting 485,000 trees and saved almost seven billion liters of water, or enough to fill 2,800 Olympic-sized swimming pools.让我最自豪的，其实正是我们最初投入这一切的原因。自从2021年开始有数据统计以来，我们已经阻止了1.66亿件农产品的浪费。这样做避免了超过29,000公吨的温室气体排放，相当于种植了48.5万棵树，并节省了近70亿升水——足够填满2,800个奥运标准泳池。Thank you.谢谢大家。What we're also excited about is the opportunity to add a little extra peel to help small growers get their unique varieties of fruits and vegetables to market with more confidence. This is especially important in places that don't have widespread or reliable access to refrigeration, like with these regional mango varieties. This could mean that a greater diversity of fruits and vegetables could be more available to more people.我们同样感到兴奋的是，这项技术还能帮助小型种植户，把他们独特的水果和蔬菜品种更有信心地推向市场。尤其是在那些缺乏广泛或可靠冷藏条件的地区，比如某些地区特有的芒果品种。这就意味着，将来更多样化的水果和蔬菜能被更多人享用。The work, though, is far from done. We've unfortunately encountered food and agriculture companies that have a really hard time seeing past the food waste status quo. "Shrink," as it's called in the industry, it's just accepted as a normal part of doing business. And disappointingly, we've had some folks -- producers, packers and retailers -- tell us, "Well, the waste bin is kind of my best friend. The more that people throw away, the more they have to come back and buy again."不过，这项工作距离完成还很遥远。不幸的是，我们遇到过一些食品和农业公司，他们很难突破对“食物浪费”的固有认知。在业内，“Shrink”（损耗）被认为是经营活动中的正常部分。更令人失望的是，一些生产商、包装商和零售商甚至直言：“垃圾桶算是我的好朋友。人们扔掉的越多，他们就得回来买得越多。”

The Courier smiled as he deposited the two catalogues on our door-step – he knows we're Nature Nerds, and so do the lovely folk at Kings Seeds. We both settled in front of the fireplace, going through the Nurture/Nourish reading. I was checking all the tomato varieties and other food delicacies, while Juuls browsed all the pretty stuff in Kings Seeds line-up. Always interesting to see how two people focus on the plant species that is close to their Heart, Art, and Stomach! I kept my Tomato wishes in the same group it's always been: Bloody Butcher and Tigerella, while sniffing around the Cherry Tomatoes in all their magnificent colours. Last March I managed to harvest the seeds of Tomato Gardeners delight, so those are also ready to be sown, along with Black Krim and Tessaloniki and some more tomato seeds living in my shed. Now it is a matter of sorting out where they'll go in the tunnel house. Watermelon Sugar Baby is something I haven't grown for far too long – it's a yummy dessert!  Remarkably, Julie decided to interfere in my choices by flagging the tomatoes Brandy Wine Pink and Kellogs Breakfast. This feels like an attack on my tunnel house too. But then again, she reckons that beefsteak tomatoes are very useful when cooking!  She's right, of course! Her Botanical knowledge is quite amazing and going through a catalogue is like re-arranging the garden:  Aster King Size Apricot feels like one of those new varieties that she needs to try. I reckon it's probably decades old and had (so far) escaped her attention – it's pink! Talking about "pink": How about a Banana ornamental Pink! Julie has always loved Cosmos. She just fell in love with the Cosmos double click Rose Bon bon simply because it is part of "creative writing" – something that English Teachers really appreciate. Rose Pink Blooms with multiple layers of ruffled petals -what's not to like?    Lysimachia Beaujolais is something I cannot remember having seen before. It's a stunning plant that looks like it would dominate the borders in your garden with dark wine-coloured flowers on spikes. I look forward to Julie's decision of where to plant it. Poppy Amazing Grey is not your regular bright red poppy, but a purple-grey variety that would work well with a coloured background. This is a great flower to experiment with. As is often the case with poppies, keep the seeds for a few weeks in the fridge before sowing. I was invited to take a close look at a new Thalictrum, Thalictrum White – “Just want to point out this plant will be attracting bees and other Entomological critters”. I reckon I should go out at night and bathe the pure white flowers in UV Torch-light! Zinnia elegans is a group of wonderful cut flowers in amazing colours. Have a look at the Kings Seeds Catalogue: 20 different varieties giving your garden surprising powers of accent. Zinnia Queen Lime blush ended up as Julie's choice of 2025/26. Lime coloured! Finally we agreed on a regular food item for Spring, Summer, and Autumn: a decent type of Lettuce, Lettuce Little Caesar. But this one? Honestly? Gotta be English! Organic Pumpkin New England Pie.

So we took a test batch of material that we made using leftover tomato peels, since those are rich in these fatty acids and glycerides. We dipped those limes in a bowl of these ingredients in water and set them aside to dry. And then we waited. And we saw that we could add an extra week of freshness to these limes.↳于是，我们利用番茄加工后剩下的番茄皮制作了一批测试材料，因为它们富含脂肪酸和甘油酯。我们把这些指橙浸泡在装有这些成分的水碗里，然后放在一旁晾干。接着我们等待，结果发现，这些指橙的保鲜期竟然延长了一整周。And when we saw that for the first time, we were like, "Shut the front door! Oh my God, this might actually work." So we then went and wanted to apply this little bit of extra peel to all other kinds of fruits and vegetables. Bananas, avocados, limes, green beans, tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, berries, like, you name it. And what we saw, amazed and quite frankly, still amazes us. This concept works for dozens of categories, things that need to ripen before you eat them, things that don't. Things that have edible peels, non-edible peels. We even saw that with protected blueberries, we could retain vitamin C levels at higher levels for longer than unprotected blueberries. And tomatoes could be harvested later, not when they were green and tasteless, but when they were red and actually ripe, and they'd still have enough time to get into your homes.↳当我们第一次看到这个结果时，我们的反应是：“不会吧！天啊，这居然真的有用！”于是我们接着尝试把这层“额外果皮”应用到其他各种水果和蔬菜上。香蕉、牛油果、青柠、四季豆、西红柿、甜椒、黄瓜、浆果——你能想到的几乎都试了一遍。而结果让我们震惊，甚至直到今天依然觉得不可思议。这一概念适用于几十种不同类别的农产品：有些需要成熟后才能吃，有些不需要；有的果皮可食用，有的不可食用。我们甚至发现，在处理过的蓝莓中，维生素C的含量能保持更高水平，而且维持的时间比未经处理的蓝莓更久。而西红柿则可以等到真正红熟、味道香甜时再采摘，而不是在青涩无味时提前收获——同时还能保证有足够的时间运送到消费者手中。And we love that it really takes so little material, the little bit of extra peel we add to an average avocado, for example, that's equivalent in weight to a 10th of a small raisin. And even though these materials are, of course, they're edible, you can wash them off by just rubbing under running water. We also, the more that we learned about the fresh produce supply chain today, we realized we could integrate into how these are processed in these packing houses before they're sent to grocery stores.更让我们喜欢的是，这其实只需要极少的材料。比如，给一个普通牛油果增加的那层“额外果皮”，重量大约只相当于一颗小葡萄干的十分之一。而且这些成分本身当然是可食用的，但你只需在流水下轻轻揉搓就能将其洗掉。随着我们对当今新鲜农产品供应链的进一步了解，我们还意识到，这一工艺可以直接融入到分拣包装环节，在水果和蔬菜送往超市之前完成。

Digree Rai and her son David are farmers in Truro. They emigrated here from Nepal in 2011 and they say there's one crop that's common there that almost no one recognizes on the Cape.

Digree Rai and her son David are farmers in Truro. They emigrated here from Nepal in 2011 and they say there's one crop that's common there that almost no one recognizes on the Cape.

And then all of this leads to a pretty narrow set of fruits and vegetables that are available in stores today relative to the amazing diversity of what's really out there. And so it's really like the categories that can survive storage and transportation that are commonly available. And those aren't always the ones that taste best or have the highest density of nutrients. So my friends wanted to approach this differently.↳这一切最终导致了一个问题：相较于自然界中丰富多样的水果和蔬菜，我们今天在商店里能买到的品类其实非常有限。基本上只有那些能够在储存和运输过程中幸存下来的品类才会常见。但这些并不一定是味道最好的，或者营养密度最高的。于是，我的朋友们想用一种不同的方式来应对这个问题。And we led first with some questions. How do plants protect themselves? Well, with a peel. Plants, just like us, have a skin or a peel, technically called the plant cuticle, and that helps to protect them from moisture loss, oxidation and infection. And what are those peels made of? Fatty acids, glycerides. That's what's the important part. And these are ingredients found universally in all plants. In the peel, pulp and seeds, and including in plants that we already eat. Different fruits have different shelf lives because of the thickness and arrangement of these materials in those peels.我们首先提出了一些问题：植物是如何保护自己的？答案是果皮。植物和我们一样，也有一层“皮肤”，学术上称为“角质层”，它能帮助植物抵御水分流失、氧化以及感染。那么这些果皮由什么构成呢？主要是脂肪酸和甘油酯——这才是关键所在。而这些成分在所有植物中普遍存在，不论是果皮、果肉还是种子，甚至在我们日常食用的植物中也都有。不同水果的保鲜期长短，其实和这些物质在果皮中的厚度与排列方式有关。So the idea then is: Can we take these harmless, edible, plant-based ingredients, apply them in a thin layer on the surface of fresh fruits and vegetables to help reinforce the existing natural peel? And if you do that, can you help to retain peak flavor, texture and nutrients for longer without reliance on refrigeration, pesticides, waxes or plastics?于是，想法就诞生了：我们是否可以利用这些无害、可食用的植物性成分，把它们涂覆在新鲜水果和蔬菜的表面，形成一层薄膜，来强化原本的天然果皮？如果能做到这一点，是否就能在无需依赖冷藏、农药、蜡涂层或塑料包装的情况下，延长食材的最佳风味、口感和营养？And so that's what James, Lou and I, that's why we founded Apeel Sciences and ultimately headed to James's garage to try and figure out. We started first by partnering with a small local grower, and we tested the idea on this category you may not have heard of called finger limes. They are literally finger-shaped, and when you cut them open, the pulp is in the shape of beads, like caviar. They are delicious, and they're super fragrant. But once they're picked, that grower had maybe about seven days before their organic limes would start to dry out and the skin would start to change color. And that was even with refrigeration.↳于是，这就是我、詹姆斯和路易斯创立 Apeel Sciences 的原因。我们最终跑到詹姆斯的车库里，开始动手实验。起初，我们与一家本地的小型种植户合作，把这个想法应用到一种你可能没听说过的水果——“指橙”（finger limes）上。它们真的像手指一样细长，当你切开时，果肉呈现出一颗颗像鱼子酱般的珠粒，味道鲜美，香气浓郁。但问题是，一旦被采摘下来，这些有机指橙大概只有七天的时间就会开始干瘪、果皮变色——即便是在冷藏条件下也是如此。

TalkSports 8-27 HR 3: Sticky Fruits and State Fairs by Fanrun Radio

Live from the Roots and Fruits theatre, it's the rhyming queen Artichoke performing her lovely song I'm a Little Artichoke with a little help from Chicory.

When you pick a piece of fruit off a tree, it's like a ticking time bomb. It's literally this living and breathing thing that's slowly cannibalizing its own stores of energy and nutrients, just trying to stay alive until it ultimately gets eaten by microbes or some other animal, like us. Have you ever wondered why that is and what could be done about it?↳当你从树上摘下一颗水果时，它就像一颗正在倒计时的定时炸弹。它实际上是一个还在“呼吸”的生命体，会慢慢吞噬自己储存的能量和养分，只为了尽可能维持生存，直到最终被微生物或其他动物（比如我们人类）吃掉。你有没有想过这是为什么？以及对此能做些什么？My journey in trying to figure that out started in the spring of 2013. I'm finishing up my postdoctoral research in chemistry at the University of Santa Barbara, California. And all that really means is I'm a huge nerd and I've been in school for way too long. And I'm trying to figure out how to put all that training to meaningful use. So two of my lab mates, James Rogers and Louis Perez, invite me to dinner. But it turns out to be a pitch disguised as dinner, and they opened by totally flooring me with some staggering stats.我试图弄清这个问题的旅程开始于2013年春天。那时我正在加州圣塔芭芭拉大学完成化学博士后的研究。说白了，就是我这个超级书呆子在学校里待得太久了，现在在思考如何把这些年接受的训练用在真正有意义的事情上。于是，我的两个实验室伙伴詹姆斯·罗杰斯和路易斯·佩雷斯邀请我共进晚餐。但事实证明，那顿饭其实是伪装成晚餐的“推销会”，而他们一开口就用一些惊人的数据震撼了我。A third of the food that we produce worldwide is lost or wasted before it ever has a chance to be eaten. For fresh fruits and vegetables, that number is a half. And waste is a problem at every single step of the supply chain. From the farm, trying to get it to market, in stores, restaurants and in our homes. And it's not just a waste of the food. It's a waste of the land, water, fertilizers, labor, energy, fuel, packaging and money out of farmers' and our pockets. If global food waste was a country, it'd be the third-highest emitter of greenhouse gases after China and the US.↳全球所生产的食物中，有三分之一在被吃掉之前就已经损失或浪费了。而在新鲜水果和蔬菜方面，这个比例更是高达二分之一。而浪费的问题存在于供应链的每一个环节：从农场，到运输市场，再到商店、餐厅，甚至是我们的家庭。而这不仅仅是食物的浪费，更是土地、水资源、化肥、劳动力、能源、燃料、包装，以及农民和我们自己口袋里的金钱的浪费。如果把全球食物浪费看作一个国家，那么它的温室气体排放量将位居世界第三，仅次于中国和美国。For decades, all around the world, we've relied heavily on a surprisingly small number of ways to help fruits and vegetables last longer after harvest. These have gotten us a really long way, but they also have their challenges. Refrigeration is a massive energy suck, a significant source of emissions, and it's expensive. It's unfortunately why a lot of places around the world don't have access to refrigeration. Designer pesticides aren't great for our long-term health or the environment. Waxes, some can be plant-based, but a lot of them are also animal-derived or petroleum-derived, and they help make produce look better but not really meaningfully extend their life and quality. And packaging, that's just adding to our problems with single-use plastics and microplastics.几十年来，全世界主要依赖数量极少的几种方法来延长水果和蔬菜的保鲜期。这些方法确实在一定程度上帮助了我们，但也带来了挑战。冷藏消耗巨大的能源，是温室气体的重要排放源，而且成本高昂，这也是为什么世界上很多地方至今无法普及冷藏。至于人工合成的农药，对人类的长期健康和环境都并不友好。蜡涂层方面，有些是植物基的，但更多是动物性或石油提取的，它们能让农产品外观看起来更好，却不能真正有效地延长其保质期和品质。而包装，则让一次性塑料和微塑料的问题更加严重。

Elaine Weiss, acclaimed author of The Woman's Hour: The Great Fight to Win the Vote, follows that magisterial work with a work of equal scholarly significance and narrative excellence, Spell Freedom: The Underground Schools That Built the Civil Rights Movement (Simon and Schuster, 2025), "the story of four activists whose audacious plan to restore voting rights to Black Americans laid the groundwork for the Civil Rights Movement.""In the summer of 1954, educator Septima Clark and small businessman Esau Jenkins travelled to rural Tennessee's Highlander Folk School, an interracial training center for social change founded by Myles Horton, a white southerner with roots in the labor movement. There, the trio united behind a shared mission: preparing Black southerners to pass the daunting Jim Crow era voter registration literacy tests that were designed to disenfranchise them.Together with beautician-turned-teacher Bernice Robinson, they launched the underground Citizenship Schools project, which began with a single makeshift classroom hidden in the back of a rural grocery store. By the time the Voting Rights Act was signed into law in 1965, the secretive undertaking had established more than nine hundred citizenship schools across the South, preparing tens of thousands of Black citizens to read and write, demand their rights—and vote.

"Maintenant Vous Savez" c'est également deux autres podcasts qui décryptent la culture avec⁠ "Maintenant Vous Savez - Culture"⁠ et la santé avec⁠ "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé"⁠. Quatre fois par semaine, nous vous proposons de découvrir les meilleurs épisodes.  Avec les légumes, les fruits sont indispensables à un régime alimentaire sain et équilibré. On connait tous la formule 5 fruits et légumes par jour popularisée par le programme national nutrition santé. Si on aime autant les fruits c'est parce qu'ils se caractérisent par leur douceur, surtout lorsqu'ils sont mûrs. Car les fruits contiennent du sucre : plus exactement du fructose en grande quantité et un peu de glucose.  Mais qu'est-ce que le fructose ? Le fructose est-il meilleur pour la santé que le glucose ? Faut-il éviter les fruits ? Ecoutez la suite de cet épisode de "Maintenant Vous Savez - Santé".

Today's guest, Kelu, takes us on an inspiring journey that begins in Romania, where he first picked up a tattoo machine, and winds through the vibrant Paris scene of the '90s. He shares tough lessons from old-school apprenticeships and offers insights on the evolution of tattoo styles. Kelu also explains the importance of honoring the art's origins over chasing fleeting trends.   After 30 years, he's trading his tattoo machine for a paintbrush, a transition he sees as a new chapter of creative freedom and authenticity. Kelu's words are a testament to artistic resilience, revealing how true fulfillment comes from a willingness to evolve and find a new creative purpose.   Follow Kelu on Instagram Kelu's paintings   stefbastian.com @stef_bastian

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are discussing another text that is often misused in reference to eternal salvation. “By their fruits your shall know them…”. Let's do a hermeneutics practicum… What are the “Fruits” and who is the “Them?” Thanks for listening & never miss an episode

Your words don't lie; they reveal what's hidden deep inside. In today's devotion, What's in Your Heart?, discover why your heart is the root of every fruit you bear. Are you sowing seeds of love or bitterness? It's time for a heart check before the harvest.

It's a hard nut to crack: in order to prevent food waste, we rely on plastic packaging and refrigeration, which harm the environment. What if we could turn to nature to address these challenges? Engineer and chemist Jenny Du shares how a simple plant-based innovation — using the same elements found in fruit and vegetable peels — can extend the shelf life of produce, while also fighting food waste and spurring a healthier, more sustainable food system.For a chance to give your own TED Talk, fill out the Idea Search Application: ted.com/ideasearch.Interested in learning more about upcoming TED events?

Send us a textWhat if teaching children about nutrition could be as vibrant and engaging as a rainbow? Dr. Jessica Miller transforms healthy eating education through her colorful children's book "Rico Eats a Rainbow," bringing her unique background as both educator and public health specialist to tackle childhood nutrition challenges.Dr. Miller shares the heartwarming story behind her book's creation—initially designed as a personal gift for her nephew Rico before evolving into a powerful educational tool now used in schools nationwide. The genius of her approach lies in its positive framing: rather than demonizing certain foods, the book celebrates the colorful variety of nutritious options available to children. This strategy has earned enthusiastic endorsements from physicians who recognize its potential to address the alarming rise in childhood chronic conditions they witness daily.As we discover during our conversation, "Rico Eats a Rainbow" does more than just teach nutrition facts—it empowers children by positioning them as knowledgeable guides who can teach their parents something new. The book cleverly models family conversations about food choices and introduces concepts like farmer's markets as accessible adventures rather than intimidating health mandates. Dr. Miller's careful attention to language—avoiding phrases like "bad foods" in favor of more balanced messaging—creates a judgment-free zone where families can learn together.The impact of Dr. Miller's work extends beyond individual families, with teachers developing entire curriculum units around the book and pediatricians keeping copies in their offices to loan to patients. Now expanding into a series with forthcoming titles on physical activity and hand hygiene, Dr. Miller has found her calling in creating children's literature with strong public health messaging that resonates with readers of all ages. Whether you're a parent struggling with picky eaters, an educator seeking engaging health materials, or simply someone interested in creative approaches to public health challenges, this conversation offers valuable insights into how colorful storytelling can transform healthy habits.Support the showhttps://linktr.ee/genthebuilder

Today's Topics: 1) Gospel - Luke 1:39-56 - Mary set out and traveled to the hill country in haste to a town of Judah, where she entered the house of Zechariah and greeted Elizabeth. When Elizabeth heard Mary's greeting, the infant leaped in her womb, and Elizabeth, filled with the Holy Spirit, cried out in a loud voice and said, “Blessed are you among women, and blessed is the Fruit of your womb. And how does this happen to me, that the mother of my Lord should come to me? For at the moment the sound of your greeting reached my ears, the infant in my womb leaped for joy. Blessed are you who believed that what was spoken to you by the Lord would be fulfilled.” And Mary said: “My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior for He has looked with favor on His lowly servant. From this day all generations will call me blessed: the Almighty has done great things for me and holy is His Name. He has mercy on those who fear Him in every generation. He has shown the strength of His Arm, and has scattered the proud in their conceit. He has cast down the mighty from their thrones, and has lifted up the lowly. He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich He has sent away empty. He has come to the help of His servant Israel for He has remembered His promise of mercy, the promise He made to our fathers, to Abraham and his children forever.” Mary remained with her about three months and then returned to her home.

Justin Baratta, Elder/Pastor from Missio Church preaches from Matthew 7:15-20

The Lord offers a parable that reveals the sober truth that we are stewards of the gift of our lives, challenging us to engage honesty, gratitude, and the Fruits of the Spirit to direct the unique blessings we have received from God. (Lectionary #117) August 10, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

What happens when the work you love, your life's devotion, collides with public scrutiny, betrayal, and cancel culture?In this intimate conversation, I sit down with my closest collaborator and soul sister in this movement, Yolande Norris-Clark. Together, we unpack what it's been like to build groundbreaking programs for women, like our 10-month mentorship, The MatriBirth Mentor Institute (MMI), while simultaneously weathering the storm of online harassment, public misrepresentation, and the many initiations that come with success.This is a raw and honest reflection on navigating backlash, strengthening boundaries, and staying anchored in your values while walking a path most don't understand. We speak to the complex dance of sisterhood and collaboration, and how our friendship has been both tested and deepened by the work we continue to stand for.This episode is for the women who know they're here to disrupt the norm, build what's never been built before, and stay the course even when darkness tries to push back.Inside this episode, we explore:What hate groups taught us about privacy, protection, and spiritual hygieneWhy we chose to rebrand the name of MMI to something that feels more alignedHow scrutiny and slander can catalyze profound personal evolution and maturityThe beauty and necessity of sisterhood that doesn't flinch under fireWhy being rooted in purpose is the only sustainable strategy for enduring cancel cultureWhat it really takes to keep showing up when you know you're being watched in bad faithWe created The MatriBirth Mentor Institute because we know the sovereign birth-work path isn't easy—but it's necessary. MMI is the container for women called to lead in truth, in integrity, and in devotion. This episode is a glimpse into the lived experience of harvesting the fruits of “mob mentality” and doing the inner work to become “uncancellable”.Timestamps:[00:00] Introduction[04:22] Fear of visibility and public backlash in sovereign birth work[12:54] Processing betrayal and loss of support[22:28] Birth as a political and spiritual battleground[42:05] Finding freedom and accountability in the face of public criticism[54:59] Growing into leadership and re-evaluating boundaries[01:08:32] Building a lasting movement for sovereign birth and mentorshipResources Mentioned:Matriarch Rising Festival | WebsiteThe Lighthouse | WebsiteRadical Birth Keeper School | WebsiteThe MatriBirth Mentor Institute | WebsiteIf you want to connect further with Yolande, give her a follow on Instagram.Find more from Emilee on Instagram, YouTube and the Free Birth Society website.Disclaimer: Free Birth Society, LLC of North Carolina shares personal and educational stories and experiences related to freebirth and holistic care.

In this Trinity Forum Conversation, author Lanta Davis, along with special guest host and Trinity Forum Senior Fellow Jessica Hooten Wilson, delve into the power of imagination and its role in our spiritual formation. The discussion centers on Davis's book Becoming by Beholding, which explores Christian imagination through art, literature, and historical practices.These friends and scholars discuss the transformative potential of engaging with sacred art, the virtues, and traditional practices like Lectio Divina:"In Jesus's parables ... He's constantly showing us that there's more hidden behind the surface than we think. The mustard seed is not just a mustard seed. Yeast is not just yeast ... Jesus shows us heavenly meanings ... This is what the incarnation helps us understand, that the divine is not just up above. It's all around us. It's here and now. That when God became matter, all the material world changed because of it."We hope this conversation will resonate with you as you explore the good, the true, and the beautiful in your own corner of creation. This podcast is an edited version of our Online Conversation recorded in March 2025.
