This week Tom & Zeus compare the epic Black Sabbath event versus KISS' final show at Madison Square Garden. Although not perfect, the Black Sabbath / Ozzy event Back To The Beginning was a tremendous success. Filled with the final performances by Ozzy and the original four members of Black Sabbath and a host of tremendous bands and artists, the concert was a triumphant farewell to legends. KISS' last show at Madison Square Garden was not. Tom & Zeus discuss the differences, the whys and why nots and do not hold back. A no holds barred discussion about our favorite band SIOL style.

Helene Leeds and Penelope Popkin are living proof that transformation doesn't come in a pill, a quick fix, or a viral trend—it grows slowly, like a garden. In this powerful episode, mother and daughter share their deeply personal journey through food addiction, depression, emotional healing, and ultimately, 160 pounds of natural weight loss. When every expert said to stay quiet, Helene refused. When Penelope was told she was “fine,” she knew she wasn't. Together, they rejected the status quo and rebuilt their health, their relationship, and their lives—one home-cooked meal, one walk, one day at a time. You'll hear how outdoor time, homeschooling, gardening, and unplugging from toxic influences became the unlikely foundation for radical healing. This is not a story about diets—it's about reclaiming freedom. It's about moms modeling something different. And it's about the power of doing hard things, together.

Today's guest returned from a 1979 trip visiting English gardens inspired to do some garden-making of his own. His canvas was a northwestern Connecticut hillside and not the Cotswolds, and the home he'd just purchased wasn't a grand manor house... Read More ›

For his message today, Pastor Jack Graham looks to Genesis 3, what he calls “The First Gospel.” Without this pivotal passage of Scripture – the fall of man in the Garden of Eden – we wouldn't understand the rest of the Bible, he teaches. There would be a major piece missing because this is the foundation of everything that follows. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/395/29

An episode from The Holistic Navigator. This is not to diagnosis or treat any disease/illness. Consult your physician before taking supplements or medications OR before you stop taking medications. This is for entertainment/informational purposes only! The world of dietary supplements, organic and non-GMO foods, and nutrition can be complex and confusing. People are often left with more questions than they began with when beginning to research “how to get healthy.” Are we able to trust every claim on the label? Is it really that important to find whole food sourced supplements and organic food? Where should I look to find TRUSTWORTHY information? Meet Amber: On this week's episode we talk with Garden of Life Regional Educator, Amber Lynn Vitale. Amber is a certified nutritionist, Ayurveda specialist, and many of her years of practice have been in conjunction with functional medicine specialists. Amber and Ed speak about the importance of critical thinking concerning supplements, the benefits of whole food supplements, and how a consumer can cut through the marketing and find effective products that will be beneficial for their health. Part 2 of this conversation will be available next week! Some Points We Discuss: What questions should we be asking ourselves as we consider what is going on with our health and how to optimize it? (5:00) Where do we start looking for quality nutritional products? (13:40) Some Key Takeaways From This Episode: We really have to get back to this concept of critical thinking to figure out what is going on with our health and how to vet products to help us along the way. (7:05) The difference between shopping online and shopping in a store where you actually have people to talk to about making your choices and that's extremely important. (14:22) Healing is as much an art as a science. (19:33) This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

Taking the Marriage Plunge: Why Commitment Still MattersIn today’s culture of overthinking, swiping, and fear of missing out, many Christian singles view marriage as too risky. But Lynette Kittle reminds us that God's design for marriage is not based on feelings or flawless partners—it’s rooted in faith, courage, and self-sacrifice, just as Christ laid down His life for the Church (Ephesians 5:25). Whether you’re navigating modern Christian dating or wrestling with the fear of commitment, this devotional offers a fresh and faithful perspective on why marriage is still worth the plunge. ✨ Highlights ✅ Christian marriage isn’t about finding the “perfect” person, but being willing to trust God through the unknown. ✅ Fear of commitment and the “what-ifs” can keep many from embracing God's purpose for marriage. ✅ WWII couples embraced marriage even in crisis—proving love often requires sacrifice over certainty. ✅ Ephesians 5:25 calls husbands to love sacrificially—marriage is spiritual warfare, not emotional convenience. ✅ In a culture that fears lifelong decisions, trusting God in marriage is a powerful act of obedience.

Elijah Milligan's New Restaurant VentureElijah Milligan, who is the Chef and Owner of Love Child in Philadelphia, began this week's show, discussing his brand-new restaurant. Set to launch in the Fall, Love Child has been a labor of love and perseverance; Elijah has been working towards this new venture for five years. After explaining the name's significance, Elijah discussed that his restaurant will offer wood-fire contemporary American cuisine with global influences. He plans to serve small plates, a raw bar, and grilled meats, with a focus on technique-driven dishes incorporating flavors from various cultures. He wants to ensure the best experience for visitors, including sourcing ingredients from 20 different suppliers from local and international vendors for the freshest and highest-quality ingredients.

Climate change is a lot of things: big, scary, scientifically-accurate. And as we just saw in Texas, it's not just a matter of principles or talking points. It's causing tragedies in our own country and around the globe.In the face of such an overwhelming issue, it can be hard to know what we as individuals can do. Of course we can donate to environmental causes and vote for leaders who prioritize climate policy, but there's something else that's as close to home as our own backyard. Gardening!By expanding our backyard gardens to include plants for native pollinators, we can make a difference in our own local ecosystem. Bees and butterflies are some of the most common pollinators, but hummingbirds, moths, beetles, and even bats can also be part of the process. Unfortunately, many parts of the world have been seeing declines in pollinator populations. A 2017 report done for the Center of Biological Diversity found that nearly 1 in 4 species of native bees are now at risk of extinction. Monarch butterflies, meanwhile, have declined more than 80% in the last 30 years.And that's a big deal! At least 75% of all flowering plants on Earth are pollinated by insects and animals, including almost all of the food we eat. In fact, farmers estimate that pollinators are responsible for 1 out of 3 bites of food we take every day.And yet, the Trump administration seems intent on making the situation worse. Since the start of Trump's second term, his administration has fired hundreds of climate and weather scientists. He wants to start drilling for oil on pristine lands full of native plants and animals and roll back protections for migratory birds. And he wants logging companies to be able to cut down some of our National Forests. He even named a lobbyist for the logging industry, Tom Schultz, as the new head of the U.S. Forest Service.There's no denying that this all feels overwhelming. But “think global, act local” doesn't only apply to your community's school board or city council. You can make a difference just by planting more native species that are good for pollinators. Not only are the beauty and fresh air good for your mental health, you'll be directly improving the environment in your area.And that is why your garden matters!For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

Welcome back to season eleven with Aramaic Word of the day: "Laahana" which means My Vacation or my Rest i pray you are enjoying these short in depth aramaic words that shaped first century mindset of the early followers of Yeshua and deepen our understanding for Today by learning the aramaic language  The Western word “vacation” comes from Latin vacare “to be empty, free.” In the Western world, vacation often means:"Stopping work so I can rest, escape, or entertain myself." In Aramaic, we don't say “vacation.” That's a modern word, born from the idea of escaping work, escaping responsibility, escaping noise. But in our tongue, the word is (Laahna). It means rest, yes but not the way the West imagines it. Laahna is soul-rest. It's not absence of work. It's the presence of stillness. Not a schedule-free week, but a heart returned to rhythm. You see, Westerners plan their “vacations” like military operations: flights, hotels, bucket lists. They miss what our ancestors knew: real rest begins inside. Laahna is what Yeshua did on the seventh day not because He was tired, but because He was satisfied. But in the Eastern (Semitic) mindset, the concept of “vacation” is not absence of duty, but presence of restoration, purpose, and inner stillness. As a guide from the Judean hills and the alleyways of Jerusalem, I've walked with many pilgrims well, they call themselves “tourists.” They come with cameras and checklists, ready to “see the Holy Land,” but often miss something far holier: rest. I've watched travelers rush through the Garden of Gethsemane, take a photo, and say, “Done!” But did they ever sit under the olive trees and breathe? Did they let the silence speak? That silence is Lahna. It's what Elijah found on Mount Horeb not in the wind or the earthquake, but in the still, small voice. Laahna is restoration, not recreation. It's when your insides are aligned again. That's why Yeshua said, “Come to me, all who are weary and I will give you rest. Not a sabbatical from your job. A homecoming to your purpose. This is not simply about physical exhaustion it's about being weary in your being, tired from the weight of life, expectations, and performance. Yeshua wasn't offering a Mediterranean cruise. Yeshua was offering Laahna a rest that reorders the soul and returns you to the rhythm of Eden. I live in Texas now, in a small space with no office but back home in Jerusalem, even our stones breathe history. Even our desert has rhythm. I take the train sometimes just to write, to slow my soul down, to remember that Laahna is not about location. It's about intention. So next time you think of coming to Israel not for a vacation, but for something deeper remember Laahna. Come not just to see the land, but to let the land see you. Come not just to hear the stories, but to let your story be rewritten by sacred stillness. Because the Holy Land doesn't just want your footsteps. It wants your quiet. It wants your confession. It wants your transformation. Think of it as a Laahna moment. A pause not of emptiness, but of presence  where the land  doesn't just receive you, but recognizes you. You don't come here merely to see ruins or landscapes. You come to be seen by olive trees that have outlived empires, by waters that have heard the whispers of prophets, by hills that still hold the echo of Yeshua's footsteps. In the West, we “go on vacation” to escape. But in the East, we withdraw to return. To withdraw, like Elijah to the cave. Like Yeshua to the wilderness. Like monks to the Judean cliffs where the silence isn't empty, it's full of God. So come not to walk where Jesus walked but to walk with Him again, in your own inner desert. Let the stories of Scripture stop being museum pieces and start becoming mirrors  where your soul sees what it forgot. Finally my prayers to you let Laahna not vacation be your guide. Not rest from work, but return and rest Laahna to what you were made. The Land is waiting for you in 2026, and i pray i will be your guide. you can check my Signature tour by going to my website twinsbiblicalacademy.com see you soon!

To send us a message go to our website and click the Contact button.   You can find Colleen Gleason/Colleen Cambridge at her website www.colleengleason.com or on IG @colleengleason   Typically Amy has not been a cozy mystery reader, but this week's guest, Colleen Gleason who also writes as Colleen Cambridge, may have single-handedly converted her.  She is the author of over 57 books in numerous series but her “American in Paris” series has been a delightful escape over the last year. It is a cozy mystery set in postwar 1950s Paris with a dynamic mystery-solving duo featuring none other than Julia Child. Book 3 in the series titled A Fashionably French Murder was published in April.  So we were thrilled when Colleen agreed to chat with us about this series as well as several of her other books.   Colleen's style of writing often includes a pairing.  She has a mystery series that involves Agatha Christie and her housekeeper, another series featuring Abraham Lincoln and his aide, and even a steampunk paranormal YA series involving an imaginary crime-fighting pairing of Bram Stoker's younger sister and Sherlock Holme's niece. As we know from doing this podcast, having a partner-in-crime makes things much more fun.    In our book rec section of the episode, we are all about gardens. We are not reviewing gardening books, however. Rather, we're talking about books in which gardens, gardeners, flowers and shrubs are part of the story in some format. We've got thrillers, middle grade, fantasy, contemporary family drama, murder mysteries, and Appalachian gothic.    Books Mentioned in this Episode:   1- A Fashionably French Murder (American in Paris series) by Colleen Cambridge   2- Food People by Adam M. Roberts   3- The World's Greatest Detective and Her Just Ok Assistant by Liza Tully   4- Dept Q by Jussi Adler-Olsen   5- A Murder Most French (American in Paris series) by Colleen Cambridge   6- In the Spirit of French Murder by Colleen Cambridge   7- Paris Noir: The Secret History of a City by Jacques Yonnet   8- The Seven Rings (The Lost Bride Trilogy #3) by Nora Roberts   9- The Rosie Result (Don Tillman #3) by Graerme Simsion   10-The Rosie Project by Graeme Simsion   11-The Rosie Effect by Graeme Simsion   12- Forged by Danielle Teller   13- A Five Star Read Recommended by Fellow Book Lover Betsy Tomszak @bookswithbetsy - Reservoir Bitches by Dahlia de la Cerda   14- The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett   15- The Bog Wife by Kay Chronister   16- June in the Garden by Eleanor Wilde   17- A Botanist's Guide to Parties & Poisons by Kate Khavari   18- The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst   19- Birnam Wood by Eleanor Catton   20- The Summer of June by Jamie Sumner    Media mentioned--   1- Hacks (Max, 2021 - present)   2- Dept Q (Netflix, 2025)   3- Mrs. Harris Goes to Paris (2022)   4- The New Look (Apple Plus - 2024)  

Joann and Allison discuss what is currently going on in our gardens and how we are adapting to new spaces and new garden challenges. 

Brian Townsend was in law enforcement for approximately three decades; primarily with the United States Drug Enforcement Agency. Since retired, he's involved with a 501C3 non profit educating and reaching regarding the extraordinary dangers of fetanyl. We discuss his upbringing and professional career. He explains the remit of the DEA and we explore how the DEA works in other countries, the chain of command, and separates fact from fiction. Jeffzikastan plays a large role. International law and law enforcemant is discussed. No one knows exactly what Interpol is. How do Ambassadors fit in? Are different Warrants handled differently? What standard of law must be applied?Brian is very frank in his answers and we had a lot of fun. But pay close attention to the portions dedicated to his cause and the non profit organization. It's important work. The statistics are staggering. And they need your support.

Lynda Guy Guttormsen, Guy, past president of the Four Seasons Garden Club, talks about this year's Secret Garden Walk which is coming up this Saturday, July 12th.

Todaywe are moving on to a new chapter, Luke 23. This chapter tells us about thetrial of Jesus and His crucifixion and death on the cross. We believe this isone of the great chapters of the Bible, along with the other Gospel accounts ofJesus giving His life on the cross for you and me. This is the climax of humanhistory where God Himself literally goes to a cross and pays the payment forour sins. Several things stand out as we look at this chapter.  Tounderstand the setting, let's remember Jesus has been up all night long. OnThursday, Jesus prepared for the Passover meal with the disciples. Thatevening, they observed and ate the Passover meal in the Upper Room. In John 13through John 17, Jesus is talking to His disciples, preparing them with somelast words, giving them the comfort of the Holy Spirit who will come after Hehas ascended to heaven. So many things are taking place. Judas goes out intothe night to get the temple guard to arrest Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. Thenafter Jesus institutes the Lord's Supper, they sing a hymn.  Jesusgoes deeper into the Garden, and there He prays those three prayers: "NotMy will but Thine be done." He says, "Take this cup from Me."That cup, we believe, represented the sins of all humanity, and Jesus wouldbecome sin for us. In the middle of the night, Judas shows up at the gardenwith a guard from the temple and arrests Jesus. They take Him to Annas's house,then to Caiaphas's house, and finally, as the sun rises and Peter has deniedthe Lord three times, they take Jesus to the Sanhedrin, where He is triedunfairly for the third time by the Jews.  Nowhere in Luke 23, we read that in the early morning hours, after the Sanhedrincondemns Him, they take Him to Pilate. We know that Jesus was crucified at thethird hour, which would have been 9:00 in the morning. At the sixth hour of Hiscrucifixion, three hours into the cross, the sun refused to shine. It wentdark. For the next three hours, until 3:00 in the afternoon, the sun did notshine. We're convinced that during those hours, Jesus paid the full payment forour sins. Over all six hours, Jesus is paying the price on the cross. We'lltalk about the seven sayings of Christ later, but here we see Jesus paying thefull price for our sin, being the propitiation for them, satisfying the wrathof God against the sins of humanity.  Jesusfulfilled the law as the innocent Lamb of God and fully paid for our sins,declaring in His last words on the cross, "It is finished." All thisbegins at 9:00 in the morning when Jesus is crucified. What we read now in Lukechapter 23, as He goes before Pilate for three different trials, happenssomewhere between the early morning hours of the Sanhedrin trying Him and Hiscrucifixion at 9am.  Canyou imagine how physically, emotionally, and mentally worn-out Jesus must havebeen during this time?  Oh,what a Savior! When we study this chapter, we will see both the evilness of menand the goodness of God. I can't help but think about that tree in the Gardenof Eden, called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, which God forbadeAdam and Eve to eat from. When they ate of it, they brought sin into the world.Now we are reminded of that tree again because Jesus will die and be hung on atree—a tree that represents the knowledge of good and evil.  Therewe see the great love of God, the goodness of God, the mercy of God, thewonderful sacrifice of God at that cross. At the same time, we see evil mencrucifying the most innocent, precious, sinless, blameless, stainless Son ofGod on that cross. Oh, what a scene. As we look at Luke chapter 23, I trustyou'll read it through several times and take into your heart all that Jesusdid for you and me. God bless!

This week on The Literary Life, we bring you an episode from deep in the archives in which Cindy and Angelina discussed Katherine Mansfield's short story “The Garden Party.” After a great chat over their commonplace quotes, Angelina and Cindy dig into this week's story. They start with how Cindy found this story and the connections she was making to Little Women. Angelina gives a brief biographical sketch of Katherine Mansfield and highlights how Mansfield's own illness and death give us insight into how she deals with death in this story. Angelina walks us through how she looks at the use of figurative language and images, such as the Garden of Eden. They also touch on “The Garden Party” having the same structure of moving toward a moment of epiphany that we saw in “Araby.”  Cindy brings up the disconnect between the world of the women at home and the working people outside the home, as well as between the classes in this story. They talk about the importance of Laura's new hat as a symbol of one type of person she can become. Another image that Angelina and Cindy take a look at is the descent from the garden into darkness. They discuss the parallels from the beginning of the story and the end of the story, as well as Laura's movement from innocence to experience, from blindness to sight.

Dr. Majesty Greer, a PGY-1 Anesthesiology resident at Stanford, joins us on this episode of Stranger Fruit to explore the concept of "Growing Seasons"—those unique periods in life marked by change, uncertainty, or intense transformation. Just like in nature, growth in our lives doesn't happen all at once. Some seasons are about planting, others about pruning. Some feel slow and silent, while others are full of blossoming and bloom. We'll discuss how to recognize the season you're in, how to respond with grace and intentionality, and how to make peace with periods that feel unproductive or unclear. What does it mean to grow when everything around you feels dormant? How do we cultivate patience when the fruit of our labor hasn't yet appeared?
