How do you start your day? Be honest… Do you greet the day with intention? Or does chaos reign each morning? It's no secret that many of us have aren't morning people, we'd rather hit the snooze button a few (dozen!) times than develop a morning routine. Some of us habitually reach for our phones before we've barely opened our eyes. Unfortunately, our reluctant waking may set us up for a less magical day and a less restful night. By creating a morning ritual infused with feminine energy, we give our parasympathetic nervous systems an opportunity to enter a rest & digest cycle. As we journey through the late spring woods, consider how you might revamp your own morning rituals. What am I reading?The Alchemy of Flowers by Laura Resauhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781400349098The Anatomy of Awakening: The Five Hidden Codes to Activate Self Healing, Unlock Your Higher Consciousness and Live Your Divine Destiny by Dr. Sue Morterhttps://bookshop.org/a/111301/9781401998608https://bookshop.org/shop/witchywomanwalkingWhat's playing on repeat?Can't Hold Us by Macklemore What's for dinner?Lentil SaladIngredients:For the salad1 1/2 cups dry green lentils or 4 1/2 cups cooked/canned5 cups water1 medium english cucumber, diced1 cup diced small red onion1 medium red bell pepper, seeded and diced small1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley1/2 cup crumbled feta, optional I used Violife vegan feta3-4 cups arugula or baby spinach, optionalFor the dressing:1/4 cup olive oil3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice2 teaspoons agave2 teaspoons dijon mustard1 clove garlic, minced1 teaspoon saltfew shakes ground black pepperInstructions:Add the lentils and water to a large pot and bring to a boil.

Welcome back to the podcast! Today's conversation is one I've been looking forward to for a long time. I'm sitting down with bestselling author Bruce Feiler to talk about families, transitions, rituals, and the stories that shape us. I first came across Bruce's work years ago through his article The Stories That Bind Us, and it completely changed the way I thought about family culture and the role our stories play in our kids' lives. One of the things Bruce shares in this conversation is that strong families aren't strong because they avoid hardship—they're strong because they know how to navigate it together. He talks about research showing that children who know more about their family history tend to have greater resilience and emotional well-being. Not because they think their family is perfect, but because they understand that every family goes through challenges, setbacks, loss, growth, and reinvention. I loved this reminder that one of the best things we can do for our kids is tell the truth about our stories in age-appropriate ways. Not hiding the hard parts, but helping them see that difficult seasons are part of life—and that people can make it through them. We also spent a lot of time talking about rituals, which is the focus of Bruce's new book, A Time to Gather. Before this conversation, I think I mostly associated rituals with formal traditions or religious ceremonies. But Bruce reframed it in such a practical and meaningful way. He describes rituals as shared acts that help people feel connected and grounded during moments of change. And honestly, the more we talked, the more I realized how much families need this right now. In a world that moves fast and constantly pulls us in different directions, rituals create space to pause, gather, reflect, and reconnect. One of my favorite moments in the episode was when Bruce helped me think through creating a meaningful graduation ritual for my oldest son. As we talked about him preparing to leave home, I found myself emotional realizing that this season really is the end of a chapter for our family. And instead of just letting that moment pass by, Bruce showed how intentional gatherings and small symbolic acts can help families honor transitions in a way that feels memorable and grounding. This conversation reminded me that families don't need to do everything perfectly to create meaningful connection. Sometimes the most powerful things are also the simplest: gathering around a table, telling stories, asking good questions, celebrating milestones, or creating intentional moments during seasons of change. More than anything, this episode feels like an invitation to slow down and create space for togetherness—because those moments are often the ones our families remember most.

Matt just turned 49, and instead of doing a normal birthday playlist, we turned it into a rule: only songs from the years he hit perfect-square ages. That one idea creates a timeline you can actually hear, jumping from 1978 to 1981 to 1986, then into 1993, 2002, and 2013, with two tracks per year and a lot of life packed in between.We talk through why each pick makes the cut and what it carries with it. Kenny Rogers' “The Gambler” becomes a family story about risk, immigration, and gratitude. The Who's “Who Are You” turns into a birthday question that never stops being useful, while Rush's “Tom Sawyer” and Journey's “Don't Stop Believin'” bring the pure classic rock adrenaline. Later, Paul Simon and Van Halen hit the sweet spot of memory and ambition, then Tony! Toni! Tone! and Prince add sharp lessons about money, attention, and the weirdly perfect connections you only notice looking backward.The mix gets heavier and more honest too. We get into Bruce Springsteen's “The Rising” and its 9/11-era weight, and Matt shares the personal story behind Eminem's “Without Me” and how a song can show up at the exact moment you need it. We close with Macklemore's “Can't Hold Us” tied to a daughter's dance solo, and Fun.'s “Carry On” as a message for anyone in a long season of parenting, grief, or rebuilding.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/matt-2026-birthday-mix/pl.u-MzBDtNqbr81.

Longtime Twin Cities food voice, Stephanie March, former food editor at Minneapolis St. Paul Magazine and founder of the nonprofit Salt Cure Fund, returns to the View in Your Mirror to explore the real meaning of hospitality and the vital role restaurants play in our lives. Stephanie shares how restaurants build community, provide comfort, and act as third places where families gather, business deals happen, and milestones are celebrated—while also being one of the country's largest employers. The conversation weaves in the deep emotional ties people have to restaurants, the challenges the industry has faced since COVID, and why supporting local, independent hospitality businesses matters now more than ever. In honor of Women's History Month, we also celebrate the many women whose stories have shaped our podcast.

Friendship gets tested in crisis, and sometimes the hardest grief isn't just what happened, it's what gets revealed about who can actually stay with you. In this episode, Vanessa Bennett, LMFT sits down with her friend Lena to talk about friendship through trauma after both of them lost their homes in the LA fires, and what real support looks like when your life falls apart. We unpack the difference between being witnessed and being fixed, why small practical help matters more than perfect words, and how adult friendships change when roles, distance, and capacity shift. If you've been grieving friendships, struggling to receive, or trying to rebuild community after a rupture, this conversation is for you.Additional ResourcesExplore: VanessaBennett.comBook: The Motherhood MythCommunity: Inner Compass CollectiveTraining: Inner Compass AcademyConnect with Inner CompassFollow on InstagramConnect with Vanessa Bennett:Follow on InstagramFollow on TikTokLearn more on SubstackConnect with Vanessa Bennett on LinkedInSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Sweet Taste Of Son’s Of Ben Tears A huge takeaway from NYCFC’s draw in Los Angeles in week one of the season was not being able to capitalize on the man advantage after LA received the red card with 30 minutes left to play. In week two, NYCFC had less time with a man advantage, but they definitely learned from their mistakes and made Philadelphia pay the price. This week on Blue City Radio Mike Anderer and Mike Allen discuss the road win and the fact that NYCFC is undefeated in two games to start the 2026 campaign. In the show there is audio from Pascal Jansen, Keaton Parks and Tayvon Gray.

Christians have many terms for those who came before them. They are called saints, heroes of the faith, and church fathers. But rarely are they referred to simply as ancestors. William H. Lamar IV pastors one of the oldest black churches in Washington, DC. He speaks with Matthew Peterson about his recent book, “Ancestors: Those Who Bless Us, Curse Us, and Hold Us.” He also talks about why it is important for Christians to be aware of the influence of their ancestors, why naming spaces after ancestors can be dangerous, and how Christians can be co-creators with God.Ancestors: https://www.broadleafbooks.com/store/product/9781506482217/AncestorsDonate: https://religionunplugged.com/donate

Back in 2020, members of the violent group The Proud Boys jumped a fence and defaced the Black Lives Matter sign at Metropolitan African Methodist Episcopal Church. They filmed themselves destroying the sign while chanting racial epithets.Metropolitan AME wasn't the only Black church in D.C. to be attacked that night, but their response to the violence was unique. They sued the Proud Boys for damages, and when the group failed to pay, the church won the rights to their trademark. Now, they're selling merch using the PB logo to raise money for their Community Justice Fund.It's an amazing story, but it's only the backdrop to our conversation this week with Reverend Lamar. Katie and LaFonda's conversation with him spanned so many topics, from the importance of storytelling to the power of love to how to have conversations with our family members at the holiday table. They discussed how the far-right has tried to co-opt Christianity but progressive pastors like Rev. Lamar are still fighting for justice and love — you know, actual Christian values.Rev. Lamar has a book coming out next year called Ancestors: Those Who Bless Us, Curse Us, and Hold Us. He's more directly connected to the past than most—Metropolitan AME is the oldest continuously Black-owned property in D.C and held the funerals of Frederick Douglass and Rosa Parks—but we're all shaped by our ancestors. In recognizing our ancestors, we recognize the stories we tell about ourselves.This conversation is a great way to get in the Christmas spirit, but even if you don't celebrate, his humanity and leadership are inspiring. We hope you enjoy it.And if you'd like to join us for our virtual "Pre-Gaming 2026" event, you can learn more and RSVP here.For a transcript of this episode, please email comms@redwine.blue.

"In essentials, unity; in non-essentials, charity; in all things, Christ." The saying captures the heart of what the Free Church was founded on: Christians can disagree deeply and still remain united when the Gospel is central. Romans 14 shows us how to live in a community where people disagree with us—and we with them—each convinced they are obeying Scripture. Unity is easy when you don't know people. Unity is easy when it's theoretical. But when you find yourself at odds with other believers, remember that Jesus actually prayed you wouldn't be. Real unity costs something. It's hard because it means giving something up.

In this episode of Quakers Today, co-hosts Sweet Miche (they/them) and Peterson Toscano (he/him) explore the impact of affinity groups and how they provide a space for community and spiritual nourishment. Affinity Spaces: A Sacred Necessity African American Friends Vanessa Julye and Curtis Spence speak from the heart about why affinity spaces are sacred. Vanessa, Associate Secretary for Organizational Cultural Transformation at Friends General Conference, and Curtis, a writer and minister, share how these groups offer "soul rest," a place to breathe, and an opportunity to be fully seen without constantly centering polite white supremacy (PWS). Vanessa credits Yawo Brown as the originator of the phrase, “polite white supremacy.” “I didn't join a BIPOC Quaker affinity group because I had something to teach. I joined because I needed to breathe.” — Curtis Spence “If there is a BIPOC person within Quakerism looking for a place where they can have more connections with other BIPOC people, there are resources out there... I hope there comes a time when we can stop justifying affinity spaces.” — Vanessa Julye You'll hear excerpts from their influential articles in the October 2025 issue of Friends Journal: Vanessa Julye, Affinity Spaces for BIPOC Friends: Healing from Polite White Supremacy Together [link to article at FriendsJournal.org] Curtis Spence, We Gather to Affinity Worship and the Light That Disrupts [link to article at FriendsJournal.org] Extended Conversation: Watch the full video conversation with Vanessa Julye and Curtis Spence on the Friends Journal YouTube channel.

Hello!Here is this months Podcasts Episode.Big thanks to Rachana who came on and brought some great questions. We hope you find it valuable.

In this episode of Faith Over Fear, Carol sits down with pastor and author Kyle Idleman to talk about the battle in our minds. Kyle reminds us that our thoughts often lie to us—and if we don’t learn to take them captive, they can spiral into fear, shame, or hopelessness. Together, we discuss how to trace our fears back to root lies, discern truth from deception, and recognize the difference between conviction and condemnation. Kyle shares practical tools to challenge toxic thoughts, the role of Scripture as our weapon, and what it looks like to win small daily victories that lead to lasting transformation. Whether you’re new to the idea of spiritual warfare in the mind or you’ve wrestled with strongholds for years, this conversation will encourage you that change is possible. With God’s Word, you’re not just managing your thoughts—you’re renewing them. Resource referenced: Every Thought Captive: Calm the Mental Chaos That Keeps You Stuck, Drains Your Hope, and Holds You Back by Kyle Idleman Discussion/Reflective Questions: What lie have you believed about yourself or your circumstances that God is inviting you to confront? When anxious thoughts spiral, what first step could you take to trace them back to a root lie? How can you recognize when a thought that “sounds wise” is actually pulling you away from God’s truth? What practice could help you decide which thoughts deserve “a seat at the table” in your mind—and which don’t? Which Scripture has most powerfully reshaped your thinking, and how can you internalize it more deeply? Where do you need to move from simply managing thoughts to actually renewing your mind with God’s truth? What is one action step God might be inviting you to take having listened to this episode?

Sermon on Hebrews 4:14-16 by Pastor Jeff McInnis from Springhill Community Church

AT&T aims to maintain a lead in the US fiber market to sustain growth as its core wireless business slows. In this episode of Tech Disruptors, Jeff McElfresh, Chief Operating Officer of AT&T, speaks with Bloomberg Intelligence analyst John Butler about the company's plan to expand its base to more than 60 million locations by 2030, from just over 30 million today. They also discuss how solid planning and execution have helped the company to sustain steady subscriber gains in its wireless business amid rising competition and fierce pricing pressure.

This past Sunday, we continued in Mark 13:14–23. Jesus is never caught off guard by our difficult circumstances—He sees them, knows them, and calls us to trust Him through them. We were reminded to stay alert and discerning, especially against false messiahs and distorted versions of Christianity that promise glory without suffering.  He will hold us fast. Give your life to Christ and walk in the joy and security of His love. Give your life to the world, and you'll find only anxiety and emptiness. Church, take heart—He loves us, and He will return for us.

In this episode, we sit down with Jillian Henry — a passionate community builder, director of marketing at the Renaissance Theatre, and president of the board at Love On A Mission — to talk about what it means to become a parent, a friend, and a fully-formed human on your own terms. Jillian shares her experience navigating first-time motherhood in her 30s, building inclusive communities outside of traditional spaces, and why friendship can be just as powerful as family.

Somewhere between work, caretaking, and just trying to make it through the week without losing your mind, friendship starts to feel... complicated, or like another to do? Not because we don't want connection — but because life is loud, we're overwhelmed or tired or trying to make it through the day. And do you feel like there's a constant time deficit? This is an episode that is more like a journal entry where I share some of my latest life outtakes and friendship moments, how a soul-nourishing weekend with a long time friend reminded me of what really matters — and how sharing our mess can bring us even closer. Vulnerability can feel scary, awkward, but also wildly freeing. I also open up about navigating anxiety, burnout, and that dreaded “time scarcity” that seems to hit especially hard after 40. And if you're also feeling off physically — low energy or just not yourself — I mention my amazing friend and health coach, Olya Clark, who helped me customize a plan to support my hormones and minerals and lifestyle. Seriously, she's a godsend. Connect with her at www.olyaclark.com You're not alone. Promise. Xo,Baiba

Love isn't meant to be conditional, especially when it comes to our understanding of how God loves us. But this episode's guest—pastor, author, and podcaster Luke Norsworthy—says we're far too normalized to the idea that love is contingent upon how we practice our faith, obey, and function in general. On this episode, Norsworthy and Cuss talk about whether or not the phrase “unconditional love” is redundant. They consider how family language can be misused and what it might look like to become more integrated in our lives. They talk about the parable of the prodigal son, what it is to be acquainted with grief as a believer, and how to process disappointment. Their conversation also covers celebrity pastors, loneliness, and the value of vulnerability. The Expectation Gap by Steve Cuss is now available—order here!
