The Repairers at The Breach and The Great Divide 2025 by Bishop Joaquin G. Molina

Pastor Jack Graham teaches on what he calls three of the most important verses in the Bible found in Hebrews 4:14-16. The greatest divide is not political, socio-economic, or racial, Pastor Graham teaches. It is the divide between a holy God and sinful humanity.

Today we are discussing The McLoud Blackberry Festival in McLoud, Oklahoma. The McLoud Blackberry Festival, which began in the early 1940s, is one of the oldest food festival in the state of Oklahoma. Originally a celebration of the local cash farm crop, blackberries, the festival combined with an annual town picnic to form a larger event. The town received national media coverage in 1949 when the McLoud Blackberry Growers Association and the McLoud Chamber of Commerce sent a crate of berries via overnight air freight to President Harry Truman. He said they were "the best he had ever tasted" and declared McLoud to be the "Blackberry Capital of the World". The association disbanded in 1963 due to a poor market, and farmers moved on to a more lucrative crop, but the festival continues to be an exciting event for the city and now draws tens of thousands of attendees from across the nation. Enjoy quarts of fresh blackberries as well as dozens of other treats like blackberry jam, blackberry cobbler, blackberry cinnamon rolls, blackberry snow cones, and funnel cakes topped with, of course, blackberries. Blackberry-themed drinks include sodas, teas, lemonade, "wine-aritas," beer and, of course, wine. The festival also includes carnival rides, craft vendors, food trucks, a huge parade through downtown, live music (with The Great Divide headlining Saturday night), a 5K and fun run, and more. See if you have what it takes at the "Cobbler Gobbler" eating contest, and enter your blackberry creation into the baking contest to see if you can take home top honors. This family-friendly event concludes with a dazzling fireworks display on Saturday night. McLoud was founded in 1895 with the first post office opening on June 21st. It was named for John W. McLoud, a railroad attorney. McLoud became known as the Blackberry Capitol of the World during the 1940s after President Harry Truman was sent a crate of blackberries by the Blackberry Growers' Association. McLoud is a rural community with small town charm and the convenience of large town proximity. Among the small town charm are friendly faces seen among town at local shops and restaurants. Also discussed Dollar Tree, Think Ability, Marietta, Governor J. Kevin Stitt, and McLoud Chamber of Commerce. Special thanks to our partner, Think Ability.

Hosts Jim Shannon and Todd Ritter, connecting remotely from Colorado and Kentucky respectively, discuss recent happenings in the bourbon world and taste a couple of whiskies. Jim is in Colorado Springs for a Derby party, having flown out of Louisville on Derby Day. He mentions winning an exacta on the Derby race. He is sipping on Woodford Reserve Distiller's Select 90.4 proof, the annual Derby bottle, describing it as a traditional Woodford. He notes that at the Derby party, they were making mint juleps with Evan Williams Bottled-in-Bond, and while not his favorite drink, he partook. He even helped make the simple syrup. Todd is drinking Penelope Architect, the third in their series. It's a straight bourbon whiskey sourced from MGP, finished in French oak staves, bottled at 104 proof, and retails around $65. Todd finds it nice, noting the MGP cherry character and a "funky oak" from the French staves. They discuss Lost Lantern's new monthly subscription service, which recently launched after they had previously speculated about something similar. The service costs $90 a month plus shipping for a different bottle each month, special sign-up bottles, behind-the-scenes stories, exclusive events, virtual tastings, and early access to new releases. News from Buffalo Trace includes an announcement that they are adding an EH Taylor bottled-in-bond to the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection (BTAC). They speculate it will be a well-aged version and note that some EH Taylor bottles already fetch prices similar to BTAC on the secondary market. They express hope that these will be findable, perhaps requiring waiting in line as in past years. Other news includes the release of the new Wild Turkey 8-year 101, which is starting to hit shelves at an MSRP of $49. They note that 8 years is the minimum age, and it could contain older stock. They are looking forward to reviewing it and comparing it to the 70th-anniversary release. Whiskey Thief has released their 2025 Mayday Rye, a 7-year-old, 146 proof (hazmat) rye. It's available at their distillery in Frankfort and their new tasting room in Louisville, and they are now shipping to some states. The hosts praise Whiskey Thief's ryes. Jim mentions an upcoming interview and tour at Law's Whiskey House in Denver during his Colorado trip. He notes Law's has established itself as a pioneer in Colorado whiskey, particularly with their bottled-in-bond and American single malts. Jim's second pour is the 291 Colorado Rye Whiskey finished in Aspen wood staves and maple syrup barrels, the "M" release, at 122 proof. He finds it has a great maple sweetness and notes that 291 whiskies are generally easy to identify due to their unique profile. He mentions his son recently volunteered bottling and labeling at 291, noting things are going well for the distillery. Todd's second pour is Pikesville Straight Rye from Heaven Hill, 110 proof and 6 years old, retailing around $50. He considers it a classic and a great value rye. He recalls being introduced to it during an interview with Bernie Lubbers at the Evan Williams Experience. They briefly discuss the Heaven Hill rye mashbill used for Rittenhouse and Elijah Craig Ryes, noting different proofs and ages. They talk about recent trends, including the rise of ready-to-drink (RTD) cocktails, which are exploding in popularity, especially with younger consumers. They mention that the largest distillery in the US is now producing White Claw. While neither host is personally a big fan of seltzers or most RTDs, they acknowledge the market demand and hope bourbon is well-represented in this category. They also discuss the growing trend of THC-infused beverages, noting that hemp-derived THC under 0.3% by weight is federally legal. They express confusion about the health claims and draw parallels to the initial marketing of vaping as a safe alternative to cigarettes. They mention a recent barrel pick they did at James E. Pepper Distillery in Lexington for Bourbon on the Banks. They tasted three barrels and selected a bourbon, choosing one they felt would appeal more broadly, although they personally favored another with a great nose (vanilla icing, cake batter). They highlight the historical tour at James E. Pepper, discussing the distillery's long history and the role of James E. Pepper's wife. They note they also tried an excellent rye there aged 7-8 years. They discuss the recent move of RD1 Spirits to a new location and Macaulay Minton's Dark Arts moving into the old RD1 space, noting Macaulay's unique tastes and the interesting decor. They mention Sarah Algrim joining Macaulay. Beau Cumberland's Frankfurt Bourbon documentary is highlighted, with an upcoming screening on Friday, June 13th at The Foundry in Frankfurt, kicking off Bourbon Week. The screening is donation-based, with proceeds going to Frankfurt flood victims. Todd is the narrator for the documentary and receives praise from Jim for his narration skills. They hope to make the documentary more widely available in the future. Jim mentions researching a historical Shannon distillery in Shelbyville from the early 1800s. They recommend Beau Cumberland's YouTube page for short interviews and mini-docs on American spirits. Jim concludes by noting the pleasant "chest hug" from the 291 rye and acknowledging the late hour for Todd. Todd mentions a busy day with his son's soccer game. They wrap up the episode, encouraging listeners to find The Bourbon Road on social media and subscribe to the podcast.

Join Bay City Director Tamara Schlatter, Saginaw Campus Pastor Sam Burke, and Senior Pastor Josh Pardee as they explore the message from week 3 of our current series titled Everything Sad Untrue. 

What if death isn't the end of the story? What if everything broken is on its way to being restored? The Bible tells us that Jesus' resurrection was just the beginning—that one day, He will return, the dead will rise, and God will bring ultimate justice and renewal. What happens when we die? Who will stand before God in judgment? And what does eternity really look like? In this series, we'll explore the future God has promised—one where sorrow fades, justice prevails, and everything sad comes untrue.

This week, we look at one of the most difficult teachings of Jesus: the exclusive nature of faith. Based on the responses, this message was just as unpopular in Jesus' time as it is today. Join us Sunday as we explore Jesus' divine claims of truth.

This week on The Literary Life Podcast, our hosts Angelina Stanford and Thomas Banks are back with a new “Literary Life of…” interview, this time with their teaching colleague at House of Humane Letters, Dr. Anne Phillips. In addition to her classes at HHL, you can also find Dr. Phillips writing on Substack. Angelina starts off the conversation asking Anne about her reading life growing up and her homeschool experience. She talks about how she came to love the Greek myths and started pursuing Latin. The three of them discuss how having a diet of truly good literature cultivates discernment in reading less valuable books. They also share thoughts on writing as imitation and the great importance of having good ideas over knowing particular forms. Anne also talks about her college and graduate school experiences and the challenges of being in academia in our current culture. They wrap up the conversation with a little look into what Dr. Phillips reading life looks like now as a working, homeschooling mother and wife.

In this passage, God doesn't just overhear their complaints—He records them. He listens to both the grumblers and the faithful. And He draws a clear line between those who merely use His name and those who truly fear it. Today, we're going to step right into that same conversation.

We're back with a special episode recorded during our Hanging with The Harleys Live on Instagram. If you're not familiar with our Hanging with The Harley's series, it was started during the lockdowns to give our take on the headlines through the lens we see the world, and help people see through the veil and script. Pandora's box has been opened. This is all leading to the Fourth Industrial Revolution - Transhumanism, IoB (Internet of Bodies), IoT (Internet of Things), SMART Cities, and the integration of AI into society.A revolution that takes us further away from connecting with the Divine Source and intelligence, our sovereignty, and instead presents us with a new “god” - their god… an EGOD.Now, don't get me wrong there will be some cool great uses and applications, but there's always a one side of the spectrum vs the other. A “good” and a “not so good” - but that “not so good” is just great for the oligarchs. Even I've had to use AI, and let's face it, we're all contributing to it by using these apps. So is the risk reward ratio skewed?Perhaps.Shout out to all our new listeners in Germany and Australia! We see you! Much love! Stay frosty friends.

In the early 20th century, Canada was swept up in a wave of Spiritualism, where séances promised answers, and the line between faith, fraud, and fear blurred.

From fiery sermons and public scandals to exclusive séances held in the lavish parlours of the wealthy and powerful, discover how this controversial movement captured the nation's imagination and sparked a cultural clash over life, death, and the unknown.

Today, we're replaying a popular episode we first brought you in April of 2024, where I talked more about “The Great Divide” and the pricing crisis we've found ourselves in, along with the important things to keep in mind as we operate our businesses in today's environment.  As we head into a brand new year, we invite you to take the time to listen back to these special replay episodes and ask yourself if you've already implemented everything shared in them. If you're anything like me, you often listen, get inspired, but you don't always take action. So this is an opportunity to instead of learning more stuff, take the time to ask yourself what you have heard but haven't completely dialed in just yet. This is a great time to look at your brand and your business, identify the areas you don't usually have time for or have convinced yourself are good enough as we head into 2025, and to start thinking about how you want this new year to look for you. If you haven't yet listened to it, I encourage you to tune into our #354 - The 2025 Predictions Podcast to see what I see coming for our industry in the near future, and we'll see you back here next week!  Do you have a question for me that you'd like answered in a future episode? A great way to do that is to head over to Apple Podcasts and leave a rating and review with your question. I'm looking forward to answering your question on a future episode on the podcast!  If you're not already following us, @thethrivingstylist, what are you waiting for? This is where I share pro tips every single week, along with winning strategies, testimonials, and amazing breakthroughs from my audience.

In this episode of the Move Swiftly Podcast, we take a hard, unfiltered look at the atmosphere following the recent election results. Across the nation, the outcome revealed just how deeply and bitterly divided we have become, even in the days and weeks after the final tallies were counted. Many who championed candidates like Vice President Harris's camp—once vocal, passionate, and ready with strong opinions—suddenly fell silent and seemingly reluctant to engage across the aisle. But why the silence now? And what are we missing by not asking those with differing viewpoints what they truly think and feel? Join us as we explore why it's critical to break through our own echo chambers and have honest, curiosity-driven conversations with those holding opposing political perspectives. By seeking to understand rather than dismiss, we may discover pathways to empathy, respect, and, ultimately, a more unified country—one meaningful conversation at a time.

What does it take to create something the world has never seen before? In this final episode of Artful Intelligence, Reid Hoffman and Chris McLeod explore what it takes to spark a creative revolution with filmmaker Paul Trillo. Using OpenAI's groundbreaking AI video generator, Sora, Paul directed the world's first fully AI-generated music video.  After gaining early access to Sora, Paul faced a massive creative challenge: How could he use an AI tool known for surreal, dream-like visuals to craft a music video that felt emotionally real? The answer came from embracing AI's quirks—its strange hallucinations, its unpredictable transformations—and writing prompts like poetic scripts to guide the machine's creative output. Join us as Paul reveals how he turned an experimental AI model into an award-winning music video—and how creators everywhere can harness emerging tech to redefine what's possible in art.

Part 2: Paradigm Shifts Often Come from Reviving Old, Impossible Ideas 23:01 - Paul's early experiments with Sora push AI video limits 24:34 - Resurrecting old creative concepts from his “Graveyard of Ideas” 25:59 - Inspired by Carl Sagan's “Golden Record” and its sci-fi storytelling potential 28:49 - Creating a surreal AI-generated trailer blending historical and futuristic imagery 30:21 - Revisiting a decade-old “infinite zoom” concept for a music video 35:05 - Reid: How do paradigm shifts in AI go beyond just replicating older tech? Part 3: Excavating Right at the Edge of What's Possible Today 37:45 - Writing “alchemy-like” prompts to guide AI's hallucinations 40:19 - Blending AI's surreal misremembered details into an emotional story 42:36 - Generating 700 videos and 320 minutes of AI footage for the music video 44:56 - Reid: What kind of impossible ideas might AI make possible?

Hosted by Chris McLeod, this mini-series dives into the stories of groundbreaking artists using AI to push the boundaries of what's possible. Each episode showcases how human ingenuity and machine learning collaborate to create the extraordinary. With thought-provoking contributions from Reid Hoffman, Artful Intelligence asks bold questions about the future of creativity: Can AI amplify human expression? How do we ensure it empowers rather than replaces us?

With the election behind us, are we on a path to unity or stuck in the “Great Divide”? A Harris Poll found 77% of adults stressed about the nation's future. Tonight, we explore this divide—from secession talks to family conflicts—and how we can work to bridge it. Now that we have the Presidential election behind us… Do you think we are on a path to unity OR are we stuck in the “Great Divide”? The Harris Poll conducted a survey for the American Psychological Association right before the election. Of the adults they questioned, 77% said that the future of our nation was a significant source of stress in their lives. That's a lot of stress! Tonight, a look at the “great divide” that we ALL need to work on closing – from those who want their states to secede to those who struggle with family conflict.

Jeff and Phil welcome filmmaker Jean Shim and actress Jae Suh Park, director and star of the independent drama A Great Divide -- also co-written and produced by our very own Jeff Yang. They talk about making a movie inspired by the contemporary backdrop of anti-Asian hate, the personal experiences with racism and xenophobia that informed the film's story and characters, the quirks and challenges of shooting in the wilds of Wyoming, and why it's convenient to have a doctor on set -- especially if that doctor is Ken Jeong.

This week on SouthBound, host Tommy Tomlinson talks to Michael Kruse, staff writer for POLITICO and an expert on Donald Trump. Kruse offers a lesson in having difficult conversations about politics.

After a contentious election cycle and along with the ongoing division found in our country, and considering the holidays are right around the corner, let us not run away from our families, but seek shelter and healing within them...even when we do not agree politically, morally, and spiritually.

Even though we are two years post COVID. Job seekers are still fighting for a more balanced as employers push the RTO button and feel the effects. Host: Orlando Haynes

In this episode of "Center for Investment Excellence," David Lebovitz, Global Strategist, Multi-Asset Solutions and Jared Gross, Head of Institutional Portfolio Strategy discuss insights from the SIAG Public & Private Markets series. They explore the roles of real estate, credit, and equity in diversified portfolios, highlighting the blend of public and private investments. 

In a classic Peanuts comic strip, Linus’ friend berates him for his belief in the Great Pumpkin. Walking away dejectedly, Linus says, “There are three things I have learned never to discuss with people . . . religion, politics, and the Great Pumpkin!” The Great Pumpkin existed only in Linus’ head, but the other two topics are oh-so-real—dividing nations, families, and friends. The problem occurred in Jesus’ day as well. The Pharisees were deeply religious and tried to follow the Old Testament law to the letter. The Herodians were more political, yet both groups wanted to see the Jewish people freed from Roman oppression. Jesus didn’t seem to share their goals. So they approached Him with a politically charged question: should the people pay taxes to Caesar? (Mark 12:14–15). If Jesus said yes, the people would resent Him. If He said no, the Romans could arrest Him for insurrection. Jesus asked for a coin. “Whose image is this?” He asked (v. 16). Everyone knew it was Caesar’s. Jesus’ words resonate today: “Give back to Caesar what is Caesar’s and to God what is God’s” (v. 17). His priorities in order, Jesus avoided their trap. Jesus came to do His Father’s will. Following His lead, we too can seek God and His kingdom above all else, directing the focus away from all the dissension and toward the One who is the Truth.

Last weekend, without any pre-planning, two of our NJITW stalwarts did some very Jersey things: Mike D and his family went to Camp NoBeBosCo, better known to horror fans as Camp Crystal Lake. Geth and his family wound up on an impromptu trip to the legendary Wild West City, and the experience was head spinning. We discuss both in this episode, along with shout outs to the Great Divide campground and the legendary Cliff's Dairy.  Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.
