On this week's episode, WYCE Station Manager Phil Tower speaks with Allison Donahue, Program Manager, The Rapidian.Allison joined us on this program to provide us with an update about everything happening with The Rapidian.In 2023, the Rapidian introduced the Grand Rapids Documenters program, part of the nationwide Documenters Network, to create a new public record in Grand Rapids.Since then,  The Rapidian has been training and paying community members to record notes and audio for a diverse range of local public meetings, with a goal of boosting transparency and making what goes on at City Hall (and in boardrooms and auditoriums across the city) more accessible to our neighbors.Allison also reminded us that The Rapidian upholds the highest standards of editorial independence.The staff has a strong commitment to full transparency in how they fund their work. The Rapidian accepts gifts, grants, and sponsorships from individuals, organizations, and foundations to support its operations, special projects, and coverage of specific topics. However, editorial decisions remain entirely independent—donors have no role in assigning, reviewing, or editing content.The Rapidian is holding a fund drive September 15-19. ONLINE: ⁠The Rapidian⁠

Jeffrey Mosher welcomes Aaron Johnson, President, AIAM, Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan, who had been on an MBN on the Road video from late July 2025. For new listeners - Michigan isn't traditionally thought of as an aerospace state – can you tell me a bit about the Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan, and how it got started? Why should Michigan businesses consider working in the aerospace industry? Does AIAM have any programs or resources to help companies start working in the aerospace industry? I see that you have a conference coming up in Grand Rapids next week, can you share a bit more about that? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/

Matthew recounts the story of a young, hoity-toity soft-nationalist German theologian named Dietrich Bonhoeffer who discovered the radical soul of antifascism by hanging out in a Black Baptist church in Harlem in 1930. He came to the US believing in the white Jesus of European empire, but left enthralled by the Black Jesus of the oppressed. Back in Germany, he played 78s of spirituals and gospel tunes for the students of his illegal seminaries as he and other members of the Confessing Church issued some of the earliest formal rebukes to the Reich. And then he joined a plot to assassinate Hitler.  Show Notes UCLA Fires Beloved Professor Over 2024 Encampment Arrest – Poppy Press  NY Mayoral Candidates Address Sanctuary, Trump and Religious Hatred at Interfaith Forum  Religion and Socialism Working Group - Democratic Socialists of America (DSA)   Undersold and Oversold: Reinhold Neibuhr and Economic Justice  Swing Low Sweet Chariot - Fisk Jubilee Singers (1909)  St. James Missionary Baptist Church of Canton: Wade In the Water (1978)  Evangelische Kirche Halle Westfalen Bethge, Eberhard.

Chris Holman welcomes back Kim Bode, Dog rescuer, community advocate, and proud Michigan business owner, 8THIRTY FOUR Integrated Communications, Grand Rapids, MI. Welcome back Kim, the fellowship you shared about a couple times in the past year is back for a second, tell us about it? SBAM designed the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship specifically for second-stage businesses—why is this growth stage such a critical point for women entrepreneurs? Access to capital remains a major barrier, with women receiving significantly smaller loans and less venture funding—how does the fellowship help bridge that gap? The program emphasizes customized mentorship and peer networking. What measurable impacts did you see from the first cohort, and how will those lessons shape this next one? Michigan women own over 44% of small businesses—how does the fellowship leverage SBAM's statewide network to amplify their economic impact? For companies generating $500,000–$1 million in revenue, what key challenges are you seeing most often, and how does the fellowship address them differently than traditional programs? How can they apply? » Visit MBN website: www.michiganbusinessnetwork.com/ » Subscribe to MBN's YouTube: www.youtube.com/@MichiganbusinessnetworkMBN » Like MBN: www.facebook.com/mibiznetwork » Follow MBN: twitter.com/MIBizNetwork/ » MBN Instagram: www.instagram.com/mibiznetwork/ The Small Business Association of Michigan Expands Statewide Program for Second-stage Women-owned Businesses The Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship opens applications for a fall cohort to address resources, support, and funding gaps for Michigan women entrepreneurs. The Small Business Association of Michigan, through the SBAM Foundation, is accepting applications for the second cohort of the Women's Entrepreneurial Fellowship (WEF), the state's only comprehensive program designed specifically for women-owned businesses that have moved beyond the startup phase. Following the success of its inaugural class, the program will expand to serve 15 participants, with applications due mid-September and programming beginning late fall. "Michigan women entrepreneurs bring bold ideas and unstoppable determination, but too often they lack access to the mentorship and networks that can accelerate their success," said Amy Rencher, Senior Vice President, Small Business & Talent at the Michigan Economic Development Corporation (MEDC). "This unique fellowship program closes that gap, fueling connections with experienced leaders who can open doors, share hard-earned wisdom, and help turn vision into thriving businesses that strengthen our communities and our economy." The fellowship addresses documented disparities that create significant economic opportunity gaps. According to the Wells Fargo 2025 Impact of Women-Owned Businesses Report, if women-owned businesses achieved the same average revenue as men-owned businesses, the U.S. economy would see an additional $10.2 trillion in revenue annually. In Michigan, women own 44.2% of small businesses—902,131 enterprises—yet they receive loans 50% smaller than their male counterparts. Only 2.3% of venture capital reaches women-led firms, while nearly 1 in 3 female entrepreneurs report experiencing sexism as business owners.

In this episode of The Metal Maniacs Podcast, we sit down with Metzfire—a Grand Rapids-based hard rock/alt-metal powerhouse whose sound blends moody atmospheres with haunting melodies, crushing grooves, and deeply emotional lyricism.Formerly known as The Orphan and Others, Metzfire is a band that channels personal struggle and historic tragedy into powerful sonic storytelling. We dive deep into their debut album “Coordinate Oblivion”, discuss their evolving lineup, talk gear, production, and the journey from their inception to opening for national acts like The Browning and Hail The Sun.

About Called to CreateGod calls us all to build a better future. With Him. For others. We're not made to sit on the sidelines. We're driven to move forward. Under His power and for His glory. Let's go.Our mission has been and continues to be God. Above all, we want to partner with Him in His redemptive work leading more people to know Him and discover the joy and hope in Him alone.For a movement to ignite or society to shift, missiologists talk about being focused on high-leveraged areas. In many Christian movements, this has meant reaching the “leaders of leaders.” That focus is beginning to shift. Today, small business owners are 9x more trusted than politicians and 2x more trusted than the Church.Fewer people are coming inside the walls of the Church for answers. Instead of being a problem, we see this as a time for recalibration. We envision a vibrant community of high-capacity business leaders solving the world's greatest problems and faithfully caring for those around them—under God's power and for His glory.While opportunity abounds, today's entrepreneurs and investors are susceptible to the toxic aspects of secular culture—worshiping mammon, idolizing individualism, and perpetuating existential relativism. The need to guide, prepare, and support these influential shapers of culture and the next generation is vital.Learn more about Called to Create here.Connect with Dana Roeferwebsite | Facebook | InstagramDana Roefer serves as the Vice President of Faith Driven Entrepreneur for Teens.Entrepreneurship has been at the heart of Dana's career—both in launching her own ventures and supporting others in building theirs.

In addition to these topics, Paul Krauss MA LPC and the authors also explore the fascinating question of what makes humans happy, discussing the neuroscience behind happiness and the age-old debate about whether money can actually buy it.
