    Send a textWelcome to the fourth installment of our special tribute series honoring the life and legacy of the Reverend Jesse Jackson — a minister, civil rights leader, presidential candidate, and one of the most recognizable voices in American public life for more than half a century.Over the course of this series, we've revisited the moments that defined Reverend Jackson's remarkable journey — his speeches, his activism, and the powerful moral language he brought to the national conversation about justice, opportunity, and human dignity.Today's episode brings you a montage drawn from two memorial gatherings held in his honor — one in Columbia, South Carolina, and another in Chicago, Illinois, the city where Reverend Jackson built much of his life's work and where his influence on American politics and civil rights was deeply felt.From these ceremonies, you will hear remarks from Congressman James Clyburn, longtime leader in the U.S. House of Representatives and a close friend of Reverend Jackson. You'll also hear from Greenville, South Carolina Mayor Knox White, reflecting on Jackson's roots in South Carolina and the lasting imprint he left on the state and the nation. And we include words from former President Bill Clinton, who spoke about Jackson's role in shaping a generation of political leaders and expanding the boundaries of democratic participation.We do regret that we are unable to include the remarks delivered by Ambassador Andrew Young, former Mayor of Atlanta and former United Nations Ambassador. His words in Columbia were deeply meaningful, but unfortunately they were delivered without a microphone and could not be captured clearly enough for broadcast.We also want to note that Reverend Jackson's family asked that these memorial ceremonies remain moments of remembrance rather than political rallies. Out of respect for that request, we made an editorial decision in producing this program. Several speakers — including some very prominent figures — turned their remarks into overtly political speeches. Even when those speakers included former Presidents or a former Vice President, we chose not to include those portions of the program. Our goal here is to honor the spirit of the occasion and the wishes of the family.What you will hear instead is a carefully assembled tribute — voices remembering Jesse Jackson's life, his faith, and his commitment to lifting others.And woven throughout the program, you'll also hear Jesse Jackson in his own words — excerpts from speeches across the decades, reminding us of the conviction, rhythm, and hope that defined his voice.From Columbia and Chicago, this is our fourth tribute episode honoring Reverend Jesse Jackson.

    Interview by Angela CroudaceFresh from a powerful return to the region in 2024, Faroese artist Eivør is set to bring her first-ever headline tour of Australia this March, marking a long-anticipated homecoming of sorts. After opening for Heilung last year, the experience left a lasting imprint on the singer, who describes the visit as the fulfilment of a long-held dream and the catalyst for returning with her full band and production .Known for live performances that feel closer to ritual than concert, Eivør approaches each setlist as an emotional journey, carefully shaping the arc of every show while allowing room for spontaneity and connection. “It's about taking people somewhere,” she explains, noting that no two nights are ever exactly the same .Australian audiences can also expect elements drawn from her work on The Last Kingdom, where her voice reached a global audience and reconnected her deeply with her Nordic roots, threads that continue to weave naturally into her live shows .Above all, this tour is about community. Eivør speaks warmly of the love she felt from Australian crowds last time, describing the experience as family-like and deeply affirming. For first-time headline attendees, she hopes audiences leave feeling “something”; whether joy, release, or simply love."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/heavy-music-interviews--2687660/support.

    In this March 2026 Energy Forecast, Emily shares the collective messages coming through for a powerful month of energetic reset, destined redirection, and deep embodiment as we move from Pisces season into Aries season and the Astrological New Year. March is a “homecoming” month, meaning you're not being asked to become someone new… you're being called back to who you really are. With multiple planetary activations to the North Node (destiny point), Mercury retrograde in Pisces, and a Virgo lunar eclipse on 3/3, this month brings clearing, closure, and major clarity around your life path, relationships, community, and lifestyle. This episode is equal parts grounded and mystical with a strong reminder: your mindset shapes your reality. Emily reframes Mercury retrograde and eclipse season as divine tools for realignment, not punishment.

    In this series, The Homecoming, we're exploring one of Jesus' most familiar stories and discovering how it speaks to our identity, our formation, and our longing to belong. Whether we've wandered far away, stayed close but grown resentful, or are unsure where we stand, this story reminds us that formation begins when we learn to see ourselves as sons and daughters of God. Throughout the series, we'll look honestly at the ways rebellion, resentment, and self-reliance shape our lives, and how the Father's initiating love invites us into freedom, restoration, and transformation. This journey isn't about trying harder, but about arranging our lives around Jesus and allowing His love to form us from the inside out.

    Frederick County Extension: Meet Candace DeLong

    A Homecoming to the Shenandoah Valley Candace DeLong is settling into her new role as Frederick County's consumer horticulture extension agent, and she's already discovering the perks of the position, she explains to host Janet Michael on this episode of The Valley Today. Just three weeks into the job, she's found herself surrounded by enthusiastic Master Gardeners, chocolate Valentine's Day cake, and a team of 150 volunteers ready to tackle any gardening question that comes their way. However, this isn't Candace's first rodeo in the world of extension work. For the past six years, she served as an extension agent in neighboring Hampshire County, West Virginia, where she covered all areas of agriculture. Now, she's narrowing her focus to home gardening, green industry questions, and working closely with the Master Gardener program—a shift she welcomes after years of juggling everything from livestock to orchards. From Indiana to Apple Country Candace's journey to Frederick County began 13 years ago when she left her hometown of Anderson, Indiana, to pursue a master's degree at Virginia Tech. Unlike most graduate students, she didn't spend her time on the Blacksburg campus. Instead, she conducted research at the Alson H. Smith research lab outside Winchester, diving deep into crop load management in apple orchards. Following her graduate work, Candace spent three years working directly in Frederick County's apple industry, gaining hands-on experience that would prove invaluable. "I was out in the field figuring out diseases and insects and bugs and all of those weed issues and how to deal with them," she explains. Moreover, those years spent driving between orchards gave her an intimate knowledge of Frederick County's geography—a bonus that's already paying dividends in her new role. The Power of Problem-Solving Throughout her career, Candace has witnessed the extension system from multiple angles. She's been a graduate student, a grower who benefited from extension services, and now an extension agent herself. This well-rounded perspective shapes her approach to the job, particularly when it comes to science-based problem-solving. "Through that master's degree, I learned a lot of horticulture, but I also learned how to be a scientist, really how to go through the scientific method," Candace reflects. This analytical mindset proves essential in extension work, where home remedies and folklore often clash with research-based solutions. A Team Approach to Community Service Unlike her previous position in rural Hampshire County, where she handled most questions solo, Candace now works alongside a robust Master Gardener program. These trained volunteers staff help desks across five counties—Frederick, Clarke, Warren, Page, and Shenandoah, plus the city of Winchester—answering gardening questions and providing research-based advice to the community. The Master Gardeners maintain a green helpline every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to noon at the Frederick County office, where Candace can often be found. Additionally, each county operates its own helpline with specific hours and email addresses, ensuring residents can access expertise close to home. Furthermore, the Master Gardeners take their knowledge on the road, setting up booths at farmers' markets and community events throughout the growing season. They're already planning an elaborate "Ask a Master Gardener" booth for the June GardenFest at Belle Grove, complete with a prize wheel to reward curious visitors. Spring Events on the Horizon As spring approaches, Candace and the Master Gardener teams are gearing up for a busy season. Earth Day celebrations will bring the volunteers to multiple locations, including a new Stephens City Earth Day festival, the Clarke County Fairgrounds event, and the Red Bud Festival in Browntown. Seven Bends Nursery will also host a celebration featuring Master Gardener expertise. "The two weekends surrounding Earth Day are gonna be—that group will be out and about with their information for sure," Candace notes enthusiastically. Balancing Work and Family Despite her horticultural expertise, Candace admits her home garden has seen better days. With a 1-year-old daughter who puts everything in her mouth, maintaining raised beds and unique apple tree cultivars has become challenging. Nevertheless, she's optimistic about the upcoming season and has developed a practical solution: the "snack garden." "We plant a snack garden that can be trampled on and the vines can be pulled down and they get excited about it," she explains with a laugh. "You have to strategically plan the garden for the children." A Perfect Time to Start Candace joins two other new agents—Cynthia Fairbanks, based in Warren County, and Liz Rohrer, based in Clarke County—creating what Janet calls "a new crop of extension agents." This timing couldn't be better, as the trio can attend professional development trainings together and support one another through farm visits and community events. Meanwhile, her colleague Mark Sutphin, who has been covering both commercial and consumer horticulture, can now focus more on his specialty: working with tree fruit growers and commercial vegetable operations.  Looking Ahead As Candace settles into her role, she's energized by the constant learning opportunities. "I get to learn along with them," she says of the Master Gardeners. "I get to learn through their educational hours that they get to do. And taking in all that information is really exciting for me." For residents across the five-county region, Candace's arrival means renewed focus on consumer horticulture and strengthened support for the already impressive Master Gardener program. Whether you're dealing with tomato pests, wondering about tree diseases, or simply curious about starting your first vegetable garden, help is just a Wednesday morning visit—or an email—away.

    Is The Greatest Shift in Christian Theology Going From Heaven to Earth?   Heaven isn't the point of the gospel—and N.T. Wright challenges the "accept Jesus and escape earth" narrative of Christianity. Curtis Chang talks with Wright, leading theologian and prolific author, about New Creation and his latest book God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal, asking whether the Bible's promise is the Kingdom of God on earth—or simply going to heaven when you die. They examine the "royal priesthood" calling, what this means for life after death and suffering now, and the true purpose of Christian faith.   Sign up for the Good Faith Newsletter Learn more about George Fox Talks Register for the Illuminate Arts + Faith Conference   03:43 - The Continuity Between Old and New Testaments 05:05 - Reject Platonism and Embracing New Creation? 08:04 - A Vision More Demanding Than The "Ticket To Heaven" Gospel 13:48 - What Does This Mean For Grace, Works, and Human Vocation? 19:53 - Divergence on the Meaning of The Kingdom of God 27:24 - The Problem of Evil and the "Now and Not Yet" 34:59 - A Pastoral Response to Heaven-Focused Theology 40:41 - How Are Heaven and Earth Interlocking Realities? 47:59 - The Royal Priesthood: Humanity's Biblical Mandate 51:47 - Tom Wright's Future Projects and Reflections   Scriptures: Revelation 5:9-10 (ESV) - kingdom + priests reign on the earth Exodus 19:6; Deuteronomy 7:6; 1 Peter 2:9 (ESV) - royal priesthood Genesis 1-2 (ESV) - creation "very good"; humanity's vocation Revelation 21–22 (ESV) - new heaven/new earth; God dwelling with humanity Romans 12:2 (ESV) - renewing of the mind Romans 8:21–23 (ESV) - creation set free; redemption of bodies Malachi 3:1 + Isaiah 40:3 (ESV) - prepare the way; the Lord coming to his temple Psalm 8 (ESV) - humanity crowned with glory/honor; vocation Ephesians 4 (ESV) - new humanity; community ethics   Mentioned in This Episode: N.T.

    Send a textThe door opens, a little face lights up, and suddenly the turbulence was worth it. That's the spirit of this homecoming to Pittsburgh—a night where gratitude, memory, and the roar of a standing crowd all met before the first pitch. We revisit the moments that nearly cracked the helmet armor: spotting Maria in the suite, feeling the ovation swell, and trying to keep an at-bat alive while the heart races faster than a fastball.We get real about the hidden cost of getting traded. Nine seasons with one franchise builds a life—friends, routines, even the color of your training gear—then a single call redraws the map. From packing with a newborn asleep in the next room to relearning spring under a new sky, we share the logistics you never see and the resilience you need to find. Along the way, we offer thanks to the front office and coaches who stepped back to let a city and a player share a rare, human moment.Fatherhood sits at the center of it all. We talk about how a kid's smile at the door can erase a brutal night at the plate, how priorities shift from performance to presence, and why baseball now serves the life being built at home. There's humor too—ping pong grudge matches and a dad who's part prophet, calling black and yellow before the draft board ever did. Most of all, this is a love letter to a fanbase that believed through losing streaks, turned handshakes into hugs, and showed that a ballplayer's bond with a city can outlast any box score.If this story moved you, hit follow, share it with a friend who loves baseball lore, and leave a quick review so more fans can find the show. What's the sports moment that still gives you goosebumps? Tell us—we're listening.THANK YOU FOR LISTENING!!!!www.holdmycutter.com

Allie shares her personal "Homecoming" story,a journey of breaking the mold of a "low-maintenance" life to reclaim a trajectory of unapologetic expansion. Together, they dive into the somatic reality of money. How our nervous systems respond to abundance, the "Achievement Amnesia" that keeps us feeling broke even when we're successful, and why healing your view of money is the ultimate catalyst for building a life that feels as good as it looks. What We Discuss in This Episode:The Pivot Point: Allie's personal story of the mindset shift that fundamentally altered the direction of her career and life.Healing the "Money Wound": Moving past the belief that we must shrink to be safe or stay "humble" to be worthy.Money as Fuel for Evolution: How to view financial resources not as a source of anxiety, but as a tool for personal and collective impact.The Somatics of Success: Why your body needs to feel "safe" with money before your bank account can reflect your true value.Designing the Next Chapter: Practical steps for reorienting your life around self-trust rather than a "borrowed map" of what success should look like.How To Connect w| LauraWebsitePodcast The Growth METHOD.

    “How do you affair-proof your marriage?”It's a question we all want a simple formula for, but the reality is much more sobering. An affair is rarely a sudden impulse; it is usually the final chapter of years of quiet neglect. Marriages don't collapse overnight—they erode when wounds are ignored, needs are unmet, and hearts are left unattended.In today's message, “Building A Lasting Marriage,” we look at the "Rise and Fall" of David. While we often focus on his failure with Bathsheba in 2 Samuel 11, the cracks in the foundation started a decade earlier. By looking at the volatile interaction between David and his wife Michal in 2 Samuel 6, we discover the warning signs of a marriage losing its connection.From the danger of "calcified bitterness" to the "dashboard indicator" of sarcasm, we explore how unresolved conflict creates a chasm that leaves us vulnerable. Whether you are in a season of bliss or feeling the chill of a distant spouse, this message offers a candid look at how to choose your spouse every day and protect the covenant you've built.In this sermon, we discuss:The Myth of the Sudden Failure: Why affairs are often the result of long-term neglect.The Michal Complex: How unresolved bitterness turns into contempt.The Sarcasm Warning: What your tone of voice says about the health of your heart.The "Homecoming" Test: What it looks like to return home to "bless your household" versus being "met with a mood."Vulnerability & Validation: The danger of seeking honor from others when you don't feel it at home.Reflection Questions for Couples:Use these to spark a conversation on your next date night:What are some disappointments that have accumulated over time in our relationship?Does our home feel like a place of blessing or a place of "moods" and tension?How can we move from being "stiff-necked" to being tender with one another again?Scripture References:2 Samuel 6:14-23; 2 Samuel 11:1-3; Deuteronomy 17:17Website: https://impact.church Facebook: https://facebook.com/ImpactChurchHome Instagram: https://instagram.com/ImpactChurchHome YouTube: https://youtube.com/@impactchurchhome TikTok: https://tiktokcom/@impactchurchhome

    In this series, The Homecoming, we're exploring one of Jesus' most familiar stories and discovering how it speaks to our identity, our formation, and our longing to belong. Whether we've wandered far away, stayed close but grown resentful, or are unsure where we stand, this story reminds us that formation begins when we learn to see ourselves as sons and daughters of God. Throughout the series, we'll look honestly at the ways rebellion, resentment, and self-reliance shape our lives, and how the Father's initiating love invites us into freedom, restoration, and transformation. This journey isn't about trying harder, but about arranging our lives around Jesus and allowing His love to form us from the inside out.

    What if Christianity was never meant to be about escaping earth for heaven, but about God coming home to the world? In this episode, I sit down with N. T. Wright for a wide-ranging conversation that reclaims the Bible's larger story: heaven and earth meant to overlap, God dwelling with humanity, and new creation beginning now. We explore temples and tabernacles, resurrection and judgment, what it truly means to be human, and how the church is called to reflect God's presence in a fractured world. Drawing from Wright's latest book God's Homecoming, this conversation invites youto rethink faith, hope, justice, and the future of the world and to rediscover a gospel that is far bigger, richer, and more grounded than we thought.N. T. Wright is the former Bishop of Durham in the Church of England and one of the world's leading Bible scholars. He is Senior Research Fellow at Wycliffe Hall, Oxford University, and Senior Editor at Saint Andrews. He has been featured on ABC News, Dateline, The Colbert Report, and NPR's Fresh Air. Wright is the award-winning author of many books, including Paul: A Biography, Simply Christian, Surprised by Hope, The Day the Revolution Began, Simply Jesus, After You Believe, and Scripture and the Authority of God.N.T.

    This week NT Wright joins me to explore the vision behind his new book, God's Homecoming: The Forgotten Promise of Future Renewal. Many of us were raised with an end-times story that was focused on escape—going to heaven when we die, the rapture, and the destruction of the world. BUT. What if that was never the Christian hope? In this conversation, NT Wright challenges fear-based eschatology and invites us into a different future: not leaving creation behind, but God renewing it. We talk about heaven, resurrection, new creation, and what the Bible actually says about the end times. We also explore how this vision of hope speaks to real-world issues like political polarization, anxiety around "end times", and healing from evangelical and fundamentalist Christianity. Are you deconstructing, rethinking faith, or searching for a way to imagine God without fear? This episode is for you! In this episode, we discuss: Why “going to heaven when you die” became the dominant story What the Bible says about resurrection and new creation How fear-based end-times theology shaped evangelical Christianity What God's “homecoming” means for how we live now (**Below are Amazon affiliate links.
