Podcasts about home away from home

There is a tendency to live as if this world is our final destination. But, remembering we have a heavenly inheritance that will never perish can give us the courage to endure the trials of this life that will only last a little while in comparison. (1 Peter 1 :1-12) Speaker: Carl Kuhl

In this special episode, "Home Away From Home," I reflect on some of the beautiful souls I've met along life's journey—people who started as strangers but became chosen family. Through intentional connection, shared moments, and honest friendship, these relationships remind us that home isn't always a place—it's the people who make us feel seen, safe, and loved.

Tom Bogert joins Nico Cantor and Tony Meola to break down a wild weekend in MLS. The LA Galaxy made the wrong kind of history, extending their winless run to nine games—so is Greg Vanney's seat officially hot? Meanwhile, Inter Miami managed to grind out a win against the Columbus Crew, but the biggest talking point wasn't the scoreline—it was the venue.

Send us a textWhat happens when someone with a criminal record becomes the police officer sworn to uphold the law? Detective Matt Thornton's remarkable story challenges everything we think we know about the people behind the badge.Growing up in a rough neighborhood where police were considered the enemy, Thornton's path to law enforcement began with his own arrest at age 21 for carrying an illegal firearm. Years later, driven by the need to provide for his daughter, he reluctantly took the police exam. Despite facing ridicule in the academy for his criminal record and ostracism from fellow officers who knew his background, Thornton persevered through 21 years of service, eventually specializing in narcotics enforcement before becoming a detective.What sets Thornton apart is his unwavering commitment to constitutional policing and treating everyone with dignity—regardless of their background or circumstances. Drawing from his unique perspective straddling both worlds, he speaks candidly about police misconduct, the importance of street knowledge, and why some officers struggle to connect with the communities they serve. Through his current work as a School Resource Officer and his youth organization "Home Away From Home," Thornton mentors young people facing the same challenges he once did.Thornton's philosophy is straightforward yet revolutionary in policing circles: "Everyone under the sun deserves respect." His willingness to call out problematic behavior while still serving as an officer makes him both controversial and essential in conversations about police reform. As he poignantly states, "Bad policing makes our job harder, puts us in danger."Looking for real talk about policing without the typical defensiveness or platitudes? This episode delivers powerful insights from someone who's lived on both sides of the thin blue line.#police #lawenforcement #cops  #bridgethegap #bethechange

The Bedrosians have been longtime supporters of White Sulphur Springs, OCF's eastern Conference Center located in Manns Choice, Pa. Having had roles there as guests, staff, and volunteers over the years, Scott and Lisa recount some of their cherished memories made at WSS and share how God has used this special home away from home in their lives.  https://www.whitesulphursprings.org/   The Bedrosians describe how WSS helped them navigate the challenges of military life through mentorship, Biblical teachings, and a sense of belonging. They share influential anecdotes, like being reminded of their identity as missionaries in uniform, keeping symbolic “rocks” with spiritual truths, and renaming chores “blessings” because of a simple spatula on a dining room table at WSS. Knowing the conference center's spiritually rich and personally challenging programs might be intimidating to some, they also answer the frequently asked question: “But will I have fun?”  Interested in having your own impactful experience at a Conference Center?

What impactful advice have you received, and have you shared it with others?  Scott calls a stay at WSS an “investment in your family and in your ministry.” What might be the difference that makes your average vacation that kind of investment instead?

It's a lengthy and at times pedantic episode full of celebration, congratulation, and as the fellas are want to do, confusion! Part One's Shout Outs congratulate the Frauen on taking out derby rival KSCII, a history lesson on Bad Cannstatt's seal, and why the Man of the Match this week probably should have been titled "the travelling supporters of the match!" Part Two starts up doing just that, as Matt and Travis celebrate the absolute dominance of not just the guys in white and red, but the dominance of the away support decked out in ALL red, turning Sinsheim into a VfB loving town for at least a day! And what a day it turned out to be, as Chris, Serhou, Deniz, and Enzo - among others - all put on a heck of a show in earning VfB's first win at Hoffenheim since the immortal Martin Harnik kicked the team to victory! Yes, THE Martin Harnik! Part Three's News and Q's starts of with some congratulations to four - FOUR! - members of the team that are wearing the national team kit and will hopefully see the pitch in the upcoming friendlies versus France and the Netherlands. Part Three then dives into a huge issue that is, quite frankly, confusing to most American supporters ... so Matt and Travis attempt to add even MORE confusion to the issue by explaining - from 4,000 miles away - what seems to be going down with the eV, the AG, and all the initials in-between. Oy. Finally - and thankfully! - episode 115 wraps up answering some questions regarding if VfB will ever lose again, elder abuse, American watch parties, and finally Germany's fancy new pink kit. It's a lengthy episode that may in fact be one of the fellas' most controversial episodes as they offer actual OPINIONS. YIKES!

“So this idea of memory, it's very interesting because when you enter a specific space, when you get to a specific location, it's this idea that the house should bring you back to this long term memory. Giving you this feeling of comfort and of confidence as well because you've known this place for a long time.” We're in great company with João Rodrigues, Founder and Owner of Silent Living - a lifestyle of happiness and fulfillment that he pursues through a curated collection of stays around Portugal. What began as family residencies - gathering places for friends, family and travelers - has since opened for global guests to stay and experience these happy memories, moments of connection to the land, and genuine Portuguese hospitality.   What some may say is serendipity, and with admittedly no grand plan, João has slowly built over time a collection of five homes, a fifth generation farm, and fine dining restaurant, across the most fruitful regions of Portugal - Alentejo, Comporta and Lisbon - listening to the needs of his guests, local community and natural landscapes, throughout every step of the way. In this episode, João shares personal passions and inspirational stories that make up the ingredients in his recipe for how to experience a home away from home at Silent Living. Top Takeaways [1:55] João shares how living a life surrounded by a close knit family, yet taking to the skies as a pilot for TAP Airlines, has given him a great global perspective on where he wants to leave his legacy for this world and his children.  [6:00] Portuguese hospitality, while not unique to João and his family, is something they embrace fully at Silent Living - whether through a tour of the house or a friendly introduction to the chef and the housekeeper, he wants his worldly guests to feel at home.  [9:15] How João came to organically collect his houses across Alentejo, Comporta and Lisbon in Portugal, with multi-generational ties to these places, personal connections to the locals, dedicated attention to the history, and a desire to be authentic in each design aesthetic. [17:00] Silent Living is a recipe that was inspired by guests and made with ingredients of Home, Local, Simplicity, Family, Nature, Material, Atmosphere, and most importantly for João, Memory. [32:30] Practicing holistic management and regenerative agriculture at Herdade no Tiempo, not only provides products and produce to Lisbon's fine dining restaurant Ceia - but together through a creative tasting menu they raise awareness of climate change, offering a new taste of living in harmony with nature.  [43:00] The future for Silent Living goes beyond singular houses, a farm, and a restaurant, looking to build a small village for sustainably minded locals and visitors alike.   Notable Mentions Architect Manuel Aires Mateus Allan Savory's TED Talk on Desertification Climate Farmers Santa Fe Boating Experience Visit For Yourself Silent Living Website @silent__living @herdadenotiempo @ceia_table Stay In Good Company Website

Tens of thousands of displaced Israelis from the Gaza periphery and the border with Lebanon have been living in hotels across the country. With no tourists and a war on, the hotels have modified themselves to give these refugee families a new home, for however long it shall be. David Tucker, general manager of the Ramada and Royal hotel in Jerusalem and chairman of the Hotel Association of Jerusalem, told reporter Arieh O'Sullivan about the efforts made to accommodate the families. He also said that despite robust government subsidies, most of the guests, in his hotel they come from Sderot, were opting to stay and not seek rental apartments because of the support they receive at the hotel, like school, food and activities.

Summary: Now that you know what MOTUS is and what it does, let's talk about how is helps Arizona birds. Join Cheryl and Kiersten to find out how MOTUS is helping some Arizona birds.   For our hearing-impaired listeners, a transcript of this podcast follows the show notes on Podbean.   Show Notes: “Desert Deliverance”, by Margo Rosenbaum, Audubon Magazine Fall 2023, pg 18-19 “Home Away From Home”, by Daniel Grossman, Audubon Magazine Fall 2022, pg 30-35 “The Mysterious Decline of the American Kestrel,” by Jillian Mock, Audubon Magazine Spring 2023, pg 20-27 “Keeping Up with the Grosbeaks,” by Zoe Grueskin, Audubon Magazine Winter 2023, pg 15 Transcript   Cheryl-Intro:             Recently, we posted a podcast about MOTUS.  What it is-radio tracking system-more towers being placed in Arizona, one possibly at the Gilbert Riparian Water Ranch.  I wanted to revisit this because I found actual research studies using MOTUS that has an impact on Arizona birds.  It is exciting to see the impacts of this new technology and how it is advancing research in bird studies. Keirsten: Purple Martins             If you have lived on the east coast or in the mid-west of U.S. you have seen Purple Martins, and the colonial-style bird houses that they like to nest in.  A little back story about this bird, Purple Martins are insectivorous (insect eaters) which has made them vulnerable to the pesticides we use on our yards.  So, their numbers were really in decline here in the U.S. until citizen science got involved.  People who enjoyed seeing the birds and understood their importance to local insect control started placing the correct nest boxes these birds like.  These citizen scientists monitored the boxes, eliminated pesticide use on their properties, kept cats indoors etc.  Over time the populations of Purple Martins bounced back in the Untied States.  So why are we talking about them…because their numbers are still in decline, and scientists don't really know why.  Purple Martins have been studied extensively In North America; scientific knowledge tapers off when they fly south.  Just where do they go, Wat routes they take, and what critical habitat lies Along the way remain largely a mystery.  The marathon journeys these birds undertake every year compounds the risk to their survival. Arizona has its own sub-species of Purple Martins that prefer to nest in Saguaro cacti in the southern part of our state.  Arizona's Purple Martins spend the winter where?  They take a similar marathon journey as those who summer east of the Mississippi River. Cheryl: Get to the point-Brazil.             Just off a slice of land sitting mid-stream in Brazil's Rio Negro, is an island locally known as Ilha do Comaru, every year this island is submerged in March and only the tree tops poke above the surface.  There in those treetops are Purple Martins.  Now, Motus helped to locate this tiny island of 12 acres (slightly larger than Yankee Stadium).  How you ask?  Back in the U.S., scientists with the help of volunteers tagged nesting Purple Martins (adults and fledglings) with radio tags that will ping a receiver, that by chance was placed near this island.  Scientists looked at the MOTUS network tracking and thought huh?  Where is that?  It turns out that MOTUS revealed to scientists a space that is host to a concentration of roughly 250,000 birds between February and April, it's one of the largest Purple Martin roost ever discovered.  Its significance isn't just its size, however, but also the pivotal role the roost may play in the bird's long-distance migration.  Comaru could be the staging ground, or launch pad, for many of the 9.3 million Purple Martins that funnel through from South to North America.  Scientists are tagging Purple Martins on this tiny island, so they can trace birds coming and going to see where these birds' journey to breed.  Some head to Arizona, and some head towards the east coast of the U.S. This is important to Arizona Purple Martins because our sub-species like to nest in Saguaros that are 40 ft high.  It is easier for everyone if the tagging is done on this tiny island. Scientists are excited to trace the movements of these birds to figure out what they're eating and analyze whether they've been contaminated by pesticides and other pollutants, we can learn something about how they're doing in Brazil. Scientists feel that by taking a closer look at the birds onto this small isle, they hope to glean insights that can help secure the future of the entire species, and any discoveries they make will help uncover what's behind the decline of other songbirds, especially other aerial insectivores. Keirsten: The American Kestrel             Arizona hosts the American Kestrel all year long.  It just moves within the state.  This bird is on the decline here due to loss of habitat, pesticide use, and the increase in population of Cooper's Hawks, to name a few challenges this small falcon must face daily.  Scientists are racing to understand why this bird is continuing to disappear from our skies.             Let's move to Texas where there is a project that outfits kestrels with radio trackers to glean how they move on their wintering grounds and where they breed come spring.  The exact paths kestrels take and the ultimate winter destinations for many populations are mysteries.  Their smaller scale movements are also an enigma:  researcher Maddy Kaleta stated in an article for Audubon Society “We know kestrels need open space, but we don't know enough about where they prefer to hunt, how big their territories are, or what they do when their preferred habitat disappears. Kestrels that spend one winter hunting in a field may return to find it has disappeared under concrete and new shopping attractions the next winter.  MOTUS is helping answer these questions.             Data from this study indicates sharpest kestrel declines are in the East.   For the birds that show up in the nest boxes placed by citizen scientists, their success rates are very high.  A single kestrel pair fledges three to four chicks on average.  The puzzling problem is that they are not showing up.              In the west, kestrels are showing up, but they are breeding weeks earlier than they did in the 1990's and scientists discovered that farmers are taking advantage of significantly warmer winters by planting crops earlier to avoid the hotter summers.  The change in planting draws insects and rodents which is a bounty for the kestrels, and kestrels are taking advantage of this change.              All this data collected will help Arizona protect the American Kestrels that choose Arizona as their home. Cheryl: Evening Grosbeaks             This beautiful bird winters here in the lower part of Arizona on occasion but spends most of its time up in Arizona's boreal forests.  But since 1970, the once common species has sharply declined in the EAST, making irruptions less frequent and grosbeak visits increasingly rare.              Scientists started out with a small number of tagged birds aiming to discover where these birds go in spring. Then with numbers declining they scaled up their tagging and tracking to over 200 birds so far.  Using radio and satellite tags, scientists plan to expand across more of the species U.S. Range because Evening Grosbeakshave unpredictable roving patterns and this makes it vital and challenging to understand their movements.  These birds are somewhat secretive and breed in remote areas, so trying to find where they're nesting isn't easy.  So once a bird is tagged in winter scientists can follow its journey.   This data collected from MOTUS will help answer questions and could reveal bottlenecks or pressure points for the species and clues about what's driving the decline.             Researchers have found evidence of climate change is stressing spruce and fir forests where these birds like to nest, and diseases such as conjunctivitis, West Nile virus, or salmonella infections may all play into Evening Grosbeaks and their decline.  Tagging and tracking birds has highlighted the vulnerability of birds and window strikes.             All this data, even if it is collected on the East coast will help Arizona fast track efforts to protect our population of Evening Grosbeaks with MOTUS' help.
