A Course in MiraclesLesson 214I place the future in the Hands of God.

In this uplifting episode, Jed welcomes back Kathy McMillan, ASL interpreter, children's librarian, and creator of the new picture book series "Sign the Seasons." Kathy shares how the four-book series—starting with Sign the Seasons: Fall—invites kids and families to learn American Sign Language through everyday seasonal concepts like trees, squirrels, and weather. She explains how Familius Publishing partnered with her in a uniquely thoughtful way, involving her in every stage of illustration and bringing in both an ASL/Deaf culture advisor and an early childhood education advisor (a Coda) to ensure the books are accurate, inclusive, and developmentally appropriate. Kathy talks about her journey from children's librarian to nationally certified interpreter, and how signing with her own hearing son from birth transformed their communication. She busts the myth that signing stops kids from talking, emphasizing that communication begets communication and that signing supports early literacy, emotional regulation, and strong parent–child connection. Along the way, she offers fascinating insights into Deaf culture, ASL "accents," and even emerging sign languages like Nicaraguan Sign Language. In the second half of the episode, Jed is joined by author Ashley Mosley and conservation biologist Michael Windelspecht  to celebrate their picture book "This Birdie Told Me." Inspired by a real scarlet macaw ambassador at the Belize Zoo, the story gently introduces young readers to endangered species, rainforest habitats, and the importance of knowing who you are. Ashley and Michael share how their books, classroom toolkits, and conservation partnerships in Belize help kids everywhere fall in love with wildlife—and feel empowered to protect it.

Navigating Pressure What if the pressure you’re experiencing isn’t there to break you… but to reveal what God is building in you? In the opening message of our Family Month series, we explore James 1:2-4 and discover that pressure doesn’t create our character. It reveals it. James challenges us to see life’s unexpected trials through a different lens, not as interruptions to avoid, but as opportunities God uses to shape us into people who are mature, steadfast, and complete. Whether you’re navigating family stress, difficult relationships, uncertainty, or unexpected hardship, this message will encourage you to stop asking, “How do I get out of this?” and begin asking, “What is God producing in me?” James 1:2-4 Discussion topics HEAD – What did Jesus say to you through the Word? The sermon pointed out that James assumes pressure is coming (“when,” not “if”). Why do you think we often act surprised when life gets difficult? One of the key ideas from Sunday was: Pressure doesn’t create what’s in you. It reveals what’s been built in you. How does that change the way you think about difficult situations? James says God uses pressure to produce perseverance, maturity, and completeness. Which of those words stands out to you most? Why? HEART – How did it make you feel? When pressure shows up in your life, what usually comes out first? Anger? Anxiety? Control? Withdrawal? Blame? Humor? Prayer? Something else?  How has that worked so far in your life? Can you think of a recent situation where pressure revealed something in you that surprised you? HANDS – What are you going to do with it? Which step of P.A.U.S.E. do you think will be the hardest for you this week? What situation do you already know you’ll probably face this week where you’ll need to practice it? Who in this group can help keep you accountable? Family Month Check-In Did anyone use the Family Take-Home Kit this week? What was the funniest or most memorable part? What conversation happened at home because of it? Did your kids teach you anything from Sunday’s lesson? Check out our other audio series and video playlists that can help you find Jesus in every moment and then discover what’s next

LESSON 214Review of Lesson 194I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.(194) I place the future in the Hands of God.The past is gone; the future is not yet.Now am I freed from both.For what God gives can only be for good.And I accept but what He gives as what belongs to me.I am not a body. I am free.For I am still as God created me.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

The Scripture readings are 1 Chronicles 29:10-15; 1 Corinthians 10:6-13; and Luke 16:1-13.Your hands were created to be open to freely receive from God and freely give to others. Sadly, the Fall closed them. Jesus came with open hands to unclench our fists and make them generous.

She was just a fourteen-year-old carrying a trombone onto a crowded school bus on a rainy morning.One slip on the wet steps should have sent her tumbling backward onto the pavement. Instead, she felt something impossible.Hands grabbed her arms and back, lifting her upright before she could fall. At that exact moment, every sound disappeared. The crowded bus froze in complete silence, as if time itself had paused for only a heartbeat. Then everything rushed back to normal, and no one around her acted as though anything unusual had happened.More than twenty years later, she still can't explain who—or what—kept her from falling that morning.#RealGhostStories #GhostStories #TrueGhostStories #GuardianAngel #Paranormal #Supernatural #Unexplained #Miracle #StrangeEncounter #TimeStopped Love real ghost stories?

I wanted this book to be about a subject that was dear to my heart, pro football. And I wanted it to be about the 1970s. That was the decade that I grew up watching and falling in love with the sport. I had a specific outline in my mind for this book. I wanted to devote one individual chapter on each year of the decade of the 1970s. In effect, I wanted it to be an all-encompassing reference style of book.Why? Because although previous books have been written about the NFL in the 1970s, no other book on that subject was comprehensive enough to explore every individual year of the 1970s. So, that's the direction that I wanted my book to take.......Read the entire episode blog post and check out some other cool info regarding this episode here.PRO FOOTBALL IN THE 1970S BACKGROUNDReliving Gridiron Glory: Pro Football in the 1970s with Joe ZagorskiProfessional football is one of the most exciting spectator sports in America. The decade of the 1970s saw the sport grow by leaps and bounds, thanks mostly to exciting players who quickly became icons. NFL players such as Joe Namath, Roger Staubach, O.J.Simpson, Terry Bradshaw, “Mean” Joe Greene and Fran Tarkenton are still considered household names today.During the 1970s, the growing millions of pro football fans also witnessed numerous exciting games and plays, many of which are still remembered and discussed today. Plays like Franco Harris' Immaculate Reception in 1972, or the original Hail Mary Pass in 1975, or the Sea of Hands game in 1974, or the Ghost to the Post game in 1977…so many memories, and all during one of the greatest decades in NFL history.Joe Zagorski's Pro Football in the 1970s podcast explores all the great memories that occurred in the NFL during that memorable decade. Each segment will tackle a specific event or player in the NFL during the 1970s. Each episode will also include a trivia question from some aspect of that particular episode's theme or topic.Joe Zagorski's Pro Football in the 1970s podcast takes listeners back to a time of old school pro football, where the game might have been simpler in the form of strategy, but it was also more pure and more robust than it had ever been before. Practically everything that happened during that decade on pro gridirons gets attention in this podcast.

Society often celebrates a man's physical labor- his calloused hands and strong back- while instructing him to hide or feel ashamed of his emotional scars. In this episode of Friday Field Notes, host Ryan Michler breaks down why carrying a bruised heart is not evidence of weakness, but proof that you actually showed up and lived.

Stop sitting on the sidelines in the cheap seats. Learn how to build calluses on your heart, stop disguising cowardice as wisdom, and take one actionable step back into the arena.     SHOW HIGHLIGHTS 00:00 - The Marks of Physical Labor 02:15 - The Unseen Bruises of a Man's Heart 04:50 - Theodore Roosevelt's "Citizenship in a Republic" 06:15 - The Man in the Arena 08:00 - Why Wounds Are Proof of Effort, Not Weakness 10:40 - Responding to Haters and Cheap-Seat Critics 15:45 - What True Sacrifice Looks Like 18:25 - Building Calluses on the Heart Through Resistance 22:30 - Sovereignty: Getting Back in the Ring 29:20 - Wisdom vs. Cowardice: Protecting vs. Avoiding 31:45 - Weekly Challenge: Re-Engage With What Bruised You 33:50 - Iron Council War Room Announcement  Battle Planners: Pick yours up today!

Union protesters concerned about the future of Lyttleton Port say they aren't reassured by the rejection of an unsolicited bid to lease its operations. The city council's investment arm, Christchurch City Holdings Limited, has rejected the proposal by Tonui, a consortium made up of global port operator DP World and three Canterbury runanga. Union members and opponents of asset sales have protested outside CCHL to emphasise their call to keep the port in public hands. Rachel Graham has more.

In today's homily, Fr. Mark Baron, MIC reflected on God's attributes: He is good, merciful, powerful, truthful, and sovereign. God's sovereignty reminds us that He is the highest authority over all creation and salvation history, providing a firm foundation for our spiritual and emotional lives.Using the image of the potter and the clay, Fr. Mark encouraged us to trust God's loving plan. We are called to humbly accept how God has created us and allow Him to shape our lives according to His wisdom. When we surrender to His will, we find peace and purpose; when we resist, our lives can become chaotic.He concluded by asking us to reflect: Am I allowing God, the Divine Potter, to shape my life with His love, wisdom, and mercy?Readings for July 30th. 2026: https://bible.usccb.org/bible/readings/073026.cfm© 2026 Marian Fathers of the Immaculate Conception.

In this episode of The Beacon Way Podcast, Adrienne Wilkerson sits down with Shannon Russell, founder of Build Better Teams Consulting, to explore how LEGO Serious Play can help organizations strengthen communication, uncover new ideas, and create more connected teams.Shannon began her career as a television producer before leaving the industry to build a STEM education business while raising two young children. After spending more than eight years teaching LEGO and robotics, she discovered LEGO Serious Play, a hands-on methodology that helps adults think, communicate, and solve problems in a more visual and collaborative way. During the conversation, Shannon explains how building with LEGO can create a more level playing field during meetings. Instead of hearing only from the most vocal people in the room, every team member has an opportunity to build, explain, and contribute their perspective.Adrienne and Shannon also discuss the challenges of managing remote and growing teams, the importance of regular check-ins, and why leaders need to create more opportunities for genuine human connection in an increasingly digital workplace.Whether you are leading a small business, navigating rapid growth, managing a remote team, or trying to improve collaboration across your organization, this conversation offers practical ways to help people feel heard, valued, and connected.In This Episode• Shannon's transition from television producer to entrepreneur • Starting a business while raising young children • How Shannon's STEM education company evolved • What LEGO Serious Play is and how it works • Why hands-on learning can improve understanding and retention • Creating space for quieter team members to contribute • How LEGO can reveal team roles, gaps, and opportunities • Supporting accidental business owners who suddenly have a team • Using LEGO Serious Play with remote and in-person teams • How regular check-ins strengthen team cohesion • Building stronger relationships in remote workplaces • Why celebrating wins can create a healthier team culture Key TakeawaysHands-on learning creates deeper understanding: LEGO Serious Play encourages people to think with their hands. Team members build their answers, explain their ideas, and create a visual representation that others can better understand and remember.Every team member deserves an opportunity to contribute: Traditional meetings often favor the most vocal people in the room. A structured building exercise gives quieter or more introverted team members an equal opportunity to share their ideas.Strong teams require consistent connection: Remote work can leave employees feeling isolated or disconnected from the larger organization. Regular team check-ins and intentional one-on-one conversations can help people understand their priorities, ask for support, and feel valued.Leaders need to know their people: Team cohesion is not only about productivity. Asking about an employee's family, challenges, goals, and life outside of work can build the trust needed for stronger communication and long-term retention.Celebrating progress strengthens culture: Ending the week by recognizing personal and professional wins can help teams focus on what is going well instead of only discussing problems and unfinished tasks.Chapters00:00 Introduction and Shannon's Career Journey01:14 Transitioning from Television to STEM Education03:14 Starting a Business with Young Children08:41 Discovering LEGO Serious Play10:50 How LEGO Serious Play Improves Team Collaboration13:24 Tactile Learning and Human Connection16:26 Building Team Roles and Organizational Plans17:46 Supporting Accidental Business Owners19:16 Helping Team Members Understand Their Roles21:38 Virtual vs. In-Person LEGO Sessions23:28 Keeping Growing Teams Connected24:22 Weekly and Individual Team Check-Ins26:17 Celebrating Wins and Strengthening Culture28:55 Building Deeper Workplace Relationships30:23 How to Connect with Shannon RussellConnect with Shannon Russell:Build Better Teams Consultinghttps://buildbetterteamsconsulting.comBuild Better Teams Podcasthttps://buildbetterteamsconsulting.com/podcast

Plus, Donald Trump is facing backlash after a new push to open public lands for massive AI data centers, raising concerns about environmental impacts, corporate giveaways, and who really benefits. We unpack the plan, the politics behind it, and what it could mean for taxpayers and public resources. Progressive news with sharp analysis, a little comedy, and the stories everyone will be talking about. Welcome to The Rush Hour with Dave Neal.

Clark Frederick's life changed forever after years of grooming and sexual abuse by Dennis Pegg, a Boy Scout leader and sheriff's lieutenant trusted by his family and community. Decades later, after struggling with addiction, gambling, broken relationships, PTSD, and silence, Clark encountered his abuser with another young boy. The sight triggered a devastating spiral that ended with Clark confronting and killing the man who abused him. In this episode, Clark explains how he avoided a life sentence, why other alleged victims began coming forward, what happened during his three years awaiting trial, and how he ultimately received a five-year sentence for manslaughter. He also shares how prison therapy, meditation, faith, sobriety, and speaking openly about his trauma helped him rebuild his life. Today, Clark is an advocate for survivors, the author of Scarred, and the host of the Free Like Me podcast. This conversation includes discussions of childhood sexual abuse, addiction, violence, suicide, and trauma. Viewer discretion is advised. Clark's message is clear: revenge did not heal him. Survivors do not have to sacrifice the rest of their lives because of what was done to them. Breaking the silence, seeking support, and doing the work to heal can create a different future.

Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue! In this episode, Ellie and David talk about weddings. What kind of celebration is a wedding? And what social function do these festivities serve? Do weddings necessarily legitimize the institution of marriage? Or can weddings be dissociated from this legal institution and its problematic history? As they ponder these issues, your hosts walk you down the aisle of history by considering how early Christians developed their views about weddings by embracing some aspects of Roman weddings while rejecting others as vain and contrary to virtue. They also explore the meaning of weddings symbols that are still with us today and look at how weddings can challenge exclusionary nationalist ideologies. In the Substack bonus segment, Ellie and David talk about the weddings they've been to and discuss historical factors that shape our current conception of weddings.Works Discussed:Stephanie Coontz, Marriage, a HistoryLaurie Essig, Love, Inc.Arnold van Gennep, The Rites of PassageBrooke Leany, “Something borrowed: The origins of Christian wedding rituals.”Ellen Rothman, Hands and Hearts: A History of Courtship in AmericaLisa Schwarzbaum, “Mamdani, His Mother and a Movie of Prescient Grace”Jonathan Wolff, “The Value of Ceremonies”Start your business today with the industry's best business partner, Shopify.

Colt Gray was only 14-years-old when he brought an assault rifle to school September 4th, 2024, killing 2 fellow students, 2 teachers and injuring 8 others. Friday, he pleaded guilty, avoiding a trial scheduled for October and heard victim impact statements from his victims’ family members. One by one, they expressed the pain and horror they each live with and asked the judge to sentence the teen to life without the possibility of parole. This week both Colt and his father Collin, who was convicted of second degree murder for giving his son access to the assault rifle used in the mass shooting, will find out their fates from separate judges.”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
