Podcasts about Hickory

Jim Peeler lives in Hickory, a small city in North Carolina's foothills. He and his wife, Diana, have two adult children who both live in the mountains of western NC, and one grandson. Jim is a financial controller for a logistics company.Jim has just passed his two-year anniversary of fasting on February 1, 2026. This past year, Jim has completed his first year of maintenance and offers great insight in this episode. Now 65 years old, Jim has struggled with weight issues at least since the 5th grade of elementary school, at theage of ten. He has lost hundreds of pounds over the years, using various methods, but has always regained even more once the diet ended. The hope is that intermittent fasting will hold the key to finally losing significant weight for good. Looking back, Jim realises that over his life he had reached a tipping point roughly every 10 years that prompted him to start a serious weight-loss attempt, with numerous attempts in between that never lasted very long. Jim was successful at losing weight in these serious attempts, shedding more and more pounds each time, but the diet rollercoaster led him to heavier weights with each try until he reached a maximum weight of 245 pounds in late 2018. And at only 5 feet, 4 inches, he was seriously morbidly obese. Through 2019 and 2020, he successfully reached150 pounds through calorie reduction and walking, but by 2024, he had once again risen to 215 pounds following a job change and the loss of his mother, among other stressful situations. He had heard of intermittent fasting some time before, but had never seriously considered it until he decided to give it a try in February 2024. Since then, he has lived a fasting lifestyle and is on the path to long-term maintenance, thanks to intermittent fasting. Graeme's Links to connect with me directly. Come and Join Our Patreon Community At the Link Belowwww.patreon.com/thefastinghighway.Come for a month or stay for a year, check it out, and get all the content.

This episode delves into a thrilling crime narrative featuring Philip Marlowe, a detective navigating the murky waters of Hollywood's underbelly. The story unfolds with a mysterious client seeking help, leading to a series of events involving a shooting, investigations, and unexpected revelations. As Marlowe uncovers connections between various characters, the tension escalates, culminating in a dramatic confrontation and resolution. The narrative captures the essence of classic crime fiction, blending suspense, intrigue, and character depth.Most detectives try to solve a case—they rarely get involved in a web this tangled. Philip Marlowe faces a murder, blackmail, and a mysterious schoolteacher with a secret that could blow the case wide open. When Hollywood's glittering surface conceals deadly secrets, only Marlowe's razor-sharp instinct can cut through the lies. But timing is everything—miss a detail, and you risk being swallowed by the darkness.In this gripping episode, Marlowe navigates a labyrinth of murder, blackmail, and deception on the Sunset Strip. From a cryptic note threatening a film producer to a staged photograph hiding a killer, every move is a puzzle piece in a deadly game. You'll uncover how carefully staged images reveal buried truths, how the smallest detail—like a negative the size of a postage stamp—can implicate or clear a suspect, and the art of reading between the lines in a crime scene. We break down Raymond Chandler's masterful storytelling and the noir world of 1949 Hollywood, with secrets hidden in shadows and motives deadlier than the guns that gunfire.Key insights include:How a staged fashion photograph can be a covert clue—and the importance of reverse photography in criminal puzzles.The psychology behind blackmail threats, staged crimes, and framing suspects—all in the Hollywood glare.The strategic moves Marlowe makes to outsmart killers and unearth the truth without getting caught himself.The critical role of small details, like a negative or a piece of clothing, in unraveling complex plots.How the case connects murder, syndicate tactics, and personal vendettas, revealing corruption woven into Hollywood's fabric.Why does it matter? Because in a city built on illusions, the real truth is obscured behind masks. Missing this lesson could mean overlooking crucial clues, allowing killers to walk free, or worse—becoming part of the Hollywood darkness yourself. This episode offers a window into detective work that balances wit, nerve, and razor-sharp observation, essential for any crime or noir fan looking to understand how the shadows hide the truth.Perfect for thriller enthusiasts, noir lovers, and anyone fascinated by the golden age of crime fiction—this is the Hollywood noir episode you can't afford to miss. Whether you're a seasoned sleuth or just love a good mystery, Marlowe's Hollywood adventure showcases how lies, love, and murder collide in the glitz and shadows of Tinseltown.[Dedicated to Raymond Chandler's timeless storytelling, staring the iconic Gerald Mohr, this episode captures the dark allure and deadly stakes of Philip Marlowe's world. Tune in and discover why Marlowe remains the ultimate noir detective.]TakeawaysCrime is a sucker's road and leads to dire consequences.The character of Philip Marlowe embodies the classic detective archetype.Hollywood serves as a backdrop for the unfolding mystery.The narrative explores themes of deception and betrayal.Marlowe's interactions reveal the complexities of human motives.The story emphasizes the importance of coherent storytelling.Suspense builds through unexpected twists and turns.Character development is crucial in driving the plot forward.The resolution ties together various plot threads effectively.The narrative reflects the classic noir style of storytelling. crime, mystery, detective, Philip Marlowe, Hollywood, murder, investigation, suspense, noir, storytelling

Clear Mission: Stepping Out in Faith | All In In this message from Genesis 6, we look at Noah's obedience and what it means to live with a clear mission. Like Noah, we have received grace and we have been called to trust God beyond comfort and certainty. This sermon challenges us to surrender control, align our lives with God's purposes, and take faithful steps forward even when we cannot see the full picture. Key Points: Grace is not something we earn. It is something we respond to. Faith often requires action before understanding. God's mission is bigger than personal comfort or personal advancement. Obedience grows when we trust God's character more than our circumstances. A surrendered life creates space for God to work beyond what we can imagine.

Pitchers and catchers have officially reported to CACTI Park of the Palm Beaches, but this Washington Nationals spring training feels nothing like years past — and umm, that's the point. In this Nats Minutecast episode, we break down why the Nationals are entering the most uncertain spring training in franchise history, led by an entirely new power structure featuring President of Baseball Operations Paul Toboni (tuh-BOE-nee), GM Ani Kilambi (AH-nee kih-LAHM-bee), and manager Blake Butera (buh-TAIR-uh) — without an ownership change. We dig into an unsettled starting rotation beyond Cade Cavalli (KAYD kuh-VAL-ee) and Jake Irvin (JAYK ER-vin), a bullpen projected by FanGraphs to rank last in MLB again, and the high-pressure Rule-5 situation surrounding Griff McGarry (GRIFF muh-GAIR-ee). Plus, what potential pitching adds like Miles Mikolas (MY-lz mih-KOH-lus) really say about urgency inside the front office. We also examine why even the catcher position remains fluid, with Keibert Ruiz (KYE-burt roo-EEZ), Harry Ford (HAIR-ee FORD), Drew Millas (MILL-us), and Caleb Lomavita (LOH-muh-VEE-tuh) all factoring into a depth chart that could change overnight. This spring isn't about patience.It's about auditions, pressure, and survival — and the Nationals aren't hiding it. Nats fans — or Caps, Wizards, Commanders fans...

 Exodus 20:14, Matthew 5:27-30Senior Pastor, Clint PressleySunday, February 8, 2026

God Is Able | All In In Ephesians 3, we are reminded that God's power is limitless and His desire is to receive glory through His church. This message invites us to live all in, trust God with what we have, and believe that obedience creates space for God to move in ways we could never plan on our own. Key Insights: God's power is not limited by our imagination, resources, or circumstances. God chooses to work through His people, not around them. Surrender is the starting point for experiencing God's work in deeper ways. Faithfulness today creates spiritual impact for future generations. Living all in means trusting God with what we have, not waiting until we feel ready.

Fights, Statues, Riots, and Jesus Wins! | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World When Paul entered Ephesus, the gospel moved fast—so fast it shook the city to its core.

God's Faithfulness in Our Corinth Moment | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World When Paul hit his limit in Corinth, God didn't remove the difficulty—He stepped into it with presence and purpose. This message reminds us that even when we feel like giving up, God has not walked away. He has more people to reach and more He wants to do through your life. Listen in for encouragement and clarity for your own Corinth moment. Key Insights: Even faithful believers can experience seasons of deep discouragement, fear, and doubt—and God meets us there. We are not called to save others but to faithfully share the gospel and trust God with the results. Your current opposition might be part of someone else's future salvation story. We need spiritual community, not just for connection but for perseverance in our calling. God has more people He wants to reach through your life—don't quit just because you're tired.

Three Scenes, but Only One Answer | The Gospel, The Kingdom, The World In this episode, we explore Acts 16 and three encounters where the gospel changed lives. From a respected business leader to a demon-oppressed slave girl and a hardened jailer, each person experiences the same transforming truth: salvation through Jesus. This message challenges us to live gospel-first and to see every encounter as an opportunity to point someone to Christ. Take the next step at burnthickory.com/next Key Insights: * A genuine encounter with Jesus always results in a changed life—seen through actions, attitude, and affection. * No one is too rich, too broken, or too hardened to be reached by the gospel. * Living a gospel-first life means choosing obedience over comfort, even when it costs you. * You don't need a title or platform to share Jesus. Every believer has a role to play in God's mission. * Belief in Jesus means full surrender—not just knowledge or admiration but giving Him your entire life.

In with the New | Burnt Hickory Baptist Church The beginning of a new year is often filled with goals and plans—but what about your walk with God? In this episode, we talk through how to build a stronger foundation for spiritual growth by setting your mind on things above, putting off the old self, and actively walking with Christ. This message gives you seven practical steps to keep your faith from being just a feeling and start living out real change. Key Insights: * Spiritual growth requires daily intentionality—you won't accidentally grow closer to Jesus without effort. * Your mindset matters—setting your focus on Christ is the first step to real transformation. * You must actively put sin to death—it won't just fade over time. Confront it and replace it with godly habits. * We grow best in community—faith isn't meant to be lived in isolation. Join the church body and serve. * Forgiveness and love are essential—holding grudges stunts spiritual growth, but grace keeps us united.

Send us a textMany of us want the holiday season to be a time of connection and celebration, but this time of year can also be complicated. Family gatherings can come with unspoken tension, old dynamics resurface, expectations rise, and the pressure to “keep the peace” can collide with our deep desire to protect and affirm our kids. And for some, this season can bring loneliness, depression, or grief—not warmth. We know you're navigating all of that. And you don't have to do it alone. Today In the Den, Sara is joined by therapist David Zealy-Wright to talk honestly about what the holidays can stir up, how to prepare for tough conversations, how to set boundaries with love, how to care for ourselves while caring for our kids, and how to find moments of joy and grounding even in challenging spaces.Special Guest: David Zealy-WrightDavid is a Licensed Professional Counselor (Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor), a Licensed Clinical Addictions Specialist, and a Clinical Supervisor Intern(Certified Clinical Supervisor).

In 1944, Hickory became the epicenter of a polio outbreak. First one case, then dozens more until hospitals in Charlotte and Gastonia were overwhelmed. Hickory didn't have its own hospital, but a decision was made to build one. That's the Miracle of Hickory, but there's a lot more to it.
