Viola Bradford started working at The Southern Courier when she was 14. On July 26, she will celebrate the newspaper's 60th anniversary with the culmination of a years-long effort to put a marker at the newspaper's former office on Commerce Street.A group of Harvard University journalism students formed The Southern Courier in 1965 to document the Civil Rights Movement. The newspaper covered Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi and worked to recruit people from the area to report.Bradford's work with the Courier led her to a career in journalism. She earned five degrees, including a doctorate from Howard University. She taught journalism at Alabama State University for about five years. The Southern Courier offered important coverage from 1965 to 1968.“The Southern Courier didn't just report the news—it disrupted the silence,” said Hardy. “It dared to tell the truth about the South from the people living it. At Alabama Values, we carry that same spirit. We're a grassroots communications organization, using narrative to tell the stories others try to bury. Honoring the Courier is personal—it reminds us that truth-telling has always been a tool of resistance.”The Southern Courier photo archives—over 10,000 images, including iconic photos of Dr. King—were donated by Peppler to the Alabama Department of Archives and History. The complete newspaper collection is housed at Tuskegee University.About Sankofa Servants, Inc.: Dr. Bradford s Founder of Sankofa Servants, Inc. is a community-driven organization dedicated to preserving cultural history, promoting justice through education, and empowering future generations through service and storytelling.© 2026 All Rights Reserved© 2026 Building Abundant Success!!Join Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy: https://tinyurl.com/BASAud

We explore how men process loss, why responsibility often comes before emotion, and how unresolved identity issues show up during major life transitions.

Part 2 of our fireside chat with Randy Huntington goes deeper than technique and medals. This is a conversation about legacy, empathy, curiosity, and what it really means to coach—especially when the next phase of life begins.Randy reflects on his time in China, the isolation and growth that came with it, and how those experiences reshaped how he thinks about athletes, coaches, and the profession itself. We talk about the danger of losing the big rocks while chasing details, why simplicity is often the highest form of mastery, and why great coaches learn to say less, not more.This episode is also about transition—moving from coaching athletes to coaching coaches, from chasing outcomes to shaping people. Randy shares powerful stories about independence in athletes, emotional control in competition, and why fundamentals are still missing at the highest levels of the sport.Along the way, we dive into:* The loneliness and cultural stimulation of coaching abroad

It's the 100th Episode of Honoring the Journey today!! Leslie welcomes Beau Stringer, a former Southern Baptist preacher who transitioned to mainline Christianity. Beau shares his journey from growing up in an evangelical bubble in West Texas, serving as a youth pastor at 19, and eventually becoming a senior pastor, to questioning biblical inerrancy and evangelical theology—particularly around the violence in the Old Testament versus Jesus's command to love enemies. After wrestling with these tensions for years, he left vocational ministry briefly before finding a home in the United Methodist Church in Kansas City, where he now serves at one of the largest mainline churches in North America. Throughout the conversation, they discuss what mainline Christianity is, the importance of pastoral care over conversion agendas, the shift from fear-based faith to love-centered faith, rethinking hell and the kingdom of God, and how to lovingly engage with people still in evangelical spaces without erasing or dismissing them—emphasizing humility, questions, and staying in relationship rather than canceling those who disagree.Find Beau on Substack at https://substack.com/@beaustringer Honoring the Journey is hosted, produced and edited by Leslie Nease and the artwork for the show is also created by Leslie Nease.Want to get updates/announcements and a FREE Deconstruction Journaling Prompt PDF?

From Robert Duvall's legacy and impact on Westerns to Adventures with me, Rebecca Wanner aka BEC to then insight on why March is the best month to visit Yellowstone National Park. Stories of the West, travel, and adventure are on the schedule! Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! Honoring the Godfather of Westerns, Exploring Life on the Trail with Rebecca Wanner, and Discovering the Best Time to Visit Yellowstone National Park Robert Duvall (1931–2026): The Godfather of Westerns Robert Duvall, 1931 - 2026, passed at age 95 on his horse farm in Virginia. Leaving a legacy on the silver screen from To Kill A Mocking Bird, The Godfather, to winning an Oscar for Tender Mercies… He had a love for westerns and horsemanship. Early in his career, Duvall noticed that actors in movies didn't have the right “seat” when riding horses and hence stunt doubles were relied upon. On his own accord, Duvall took up horseback riding and learning from those that taught stunt doubles, proper horsemanship which led to him owning a farm, raising horses and performing his own stunts for the movies. Thanks to movies such as a cameo in the original “True Grit” to the epic mini-series “Lonesome Dove” and “Open Range”... Some have dubbed Robert Duvall as the Godfather of Westerns. How well do you know our, by far, favorite movie - Lonesome Dove where Duvall played Captain Augustus “Gus” McCrae, a Texas Ranger turned cattle rancher, a role that would earn him a Golden Globe How old was Robert Duvall during the production of Lonesome Dove? 58 years old Duvall starred alongside which actor in the epic Western Lonesome Dove? Tommy Lee Jones Tommy Lee Jones, another actor who was an experienced horseman that refused to use a stunt double in the movie. Favorite "Lonesome Dove" quotes by Augustus 'Gus' McCrae, Robert Duvall “It ain't dying I'm talking about, it's living.” “We don't rent pigs” "Any man who does rent pigs is....... he's hard to stop." "By God, Woodrow, it's been quite a party." “Ain't nothing better than riding a fine horse in new country.” Another favorite movie that introduced Robert Duvall to a whole new generation was “Secondhand Lion”. Highly recommended family film… and a quote that stands out from these old bachelor uncles was Duvall, “We're old, Damnit. Leave us alone.” Adventures of Rebecca Wanner aka BEC Our host, Rebecca 'BEC' Wanner, of The Bend Show shares adventures on her bucket list and stories of past adventures. We learn that she has a fear of heights, so flying an ultra-light plane will not be happening. Rebecca Wanner aka BEC has done snorkeling and hopes to gain her scuba license some day. Adventure wise she shares her own version of Planes, Train, & Automobiles when attempting to fly home from a summer abroad only to be left backpacking, hopping trains, outrunning security guards to finally find her way home at the age of 20 before smartphones thus no cellphones either. Fun Stories! YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK: Why is March the best month to visit? Spring is when bison calves are born, and bears with cubs start to emerge from hibernation. The vegetation in March is still thin, so elk and moose are easier to spot. March is also one of the best months to see wolves in Lamar Valley. Plus no crowds, due to chances for snow and colder temperatures. Open year-round: North Entrance (Gardiner, MT) to Northeast Entrance (Cooke City, MT) A quick google search will show that there are multiple tours throughout the off-season in Yellowstone. Because interior park roads are closed to private vehicles, popular guided options include snow coach tours, snowmobile tours, and educational wildlife safaris. Same goes for visiting the Grand Tetons. Sit back, do a tour and take in the scenery! OUTDOORS FIELD REPORTS & COMMENTS We want to hear from you!

In this encore episode, I talk about something that is foundational to healing after infidelity: learning to trust yourself again by honoring what you truly want. After betrayal, it's so easy to lose your footing. You question your instincts. You second-guess your judgment. You stop trusting your own voice. But one of the most powerful ways to rebuild that trust is by reconnecting with your desires — even the ones that feel small, selfish, or uncomfortable. I walk you through why so many of us struggle to ask for what we want, how people-pleasing and a reflected sense of self keep us stuck, and how honoring your desires actually accelerates your emotional growth. When you lean into what you want, you build integrity, emotional maturity, and strength. You stop abandoning yourself. In this episode, I cover: Your desires are not random — they are invitations to growth Honoring what you want rebuilds self-trust after betrayal Tension is not a sign you're wrong — it's a sign you're growing You can stop people-pleasing and still be loving If you're ready to rebuild your foundation and trust yourself again, I would love to support you. Reach out. You don't have to do this alone.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 130), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, detailing the profound dangers of associating with or validating the wicked (resha'im), even without direct praise.Key teachings:Befriending the wicked is flattery — Associating with evildoers implies acceptance (“I'm okay with you as you are”) and gives them validation. It's itself an act of chanufa.Five major dangers of such association: You love someone who hates the Creator—contradicting loyalty to Hashem.You absorb their negative ways (inevitable influence).Others see your friendship and think “if he's friends with him, it's okay for me too”—spreading the rot.Even if they don't imitate, they become accustomed to seeing forbidden things.You fail to protest/reprimand when able—making you accountable for their sins (mitzvas tochacha).Reprimand only when accepted — If they won't listen, don't speak (avoids lashon hara and escalation). Instead, pray for their improvement.Personal story — A woman was deeply hurt by another's nasty comment in class. Rabbi advised praying for the offender's insight rather than confrontation. A week later, she returned transformed—now loving the person and praying for their growth, turning pain into an opportunity for elevation.Becoming “big” (gadol) — True greatness means expanding beyond self: responsibility for spouse, children, community, Klal Yisrael. Start small (self-improvement), then influence outward. Rabbi Saul Salanter's journey: couldn't change the world → country → town → neighborhood → family → only self.Practical application — Don't compare or compete; maximize your unique gifts. Patience and kindness (e.g., not honking in traffic) reflect self-respect and prevent spiritual “bankruptcy.” Small acts of restraint build character and influence others positively.The rabbi urges: begin at home, expand responsibility outward, and live with self-awareness—true greatness is selflessness and influence through example, not ego._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 20, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 130), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, detailing the profound dangers of associating with or validating the wicked (resha'im), even without direct praise.Key teachings:Befriending the wicked is flattery — Associating with evildoers implies acceptance (“I'm okay with you as you are”) and gives them validation. It's itself an act of chanufa.Five major dangers of such association: You love someone who hates the Creator—contradicting loyalty to Hashem.You absorb their negative ways (inevitable influence).Others see your friendship and think “if he's friends with him, it's okay for me too”—spreading the rot.Even if they don't imitate, they become accustomed to seeing forbidden things.You fail to protest/reprimand when able—making you accountable for their sins (mitzvas tochacha).Reprimand only when accepted — If they won't listen, don't speak (avoids lashon hara and escalation). Instead, pray for their improvement.Personal story — A woman was deeply hurt by another's nasty comment in class. Rabbi advised praying for the offender's insight rather than confrontation. A week later, she returned transformed—now loving the person and praying for their growth, turning pain into an opportunity for elevation.Becoming “big” (gadol) — True greatness means expanding beyond self: responsibility for spouse, children, community, Klal Yisrael. Start small (self-improvement), then influence outward. Rabbi Saul Salanter's journey: couldn't change the world → country → town → neighborhood → family → only self.Practical application — Don't compare or compete; maximize your unique gifts. Patience and kindness (e.g., not honking in traffic) reflect self-respect and prevent spiritual “bankruptcy.” Small acts of restraint build character and influence others positively.The rabbi urges: begin at home, expand responsibility outward, and live with self-awareness—true greatness is selflessness and influence through example, not ego._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 20, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

There are some nights that entertain us. And then there are nights that remind us who we are. Today's episode is about one of those nights. On March 14th, 2026, at Briarpatch Farm in Eatonton, our community will gather for something bigger than a concert… bigger than an auction… bigger than a fundraiser. It's called “Honoring Our Heroes”, an evening dedicated to the men and women who have worn the uniform of this country and carried the weight of our freedom. This event brings together powerful stories, award-winning music, remarkable experiences, and one shared purpose: to stand behind our veterans, especially those who have been wounded in service to this nation. My guest today is James Lakeman, who alongside Mike Rainey and a dedicated team, is helping bring this vision to life. From keynote speaker Mark Nutsch, the real-life inspiration behind 12 Strong, to songwriter Matt Rogers, to wounded warrior Mario Lopez, this evening promises to be both inspiring and unforgettable. But beyond the lineup and logistics, this is a story about why we honor service. Why community matters. And why freedom is never free. So today we'll talk about how this event began, what it takes to build something of this magnitude, and what it means for our community to rally around those who have sacrificed so much. This isn't just a fundraiser. It's a statement of gratitude. And you won't want to miss the story behind it.

What if the most powerful technology we'll ever need is already within us? In this episode of HEAL with Kelly, I'm joined by my good friend Gregg Braden—scientist, bestselling author, and a familiar face from the HEAL documentary—for a conversation that feels more important than ever. Gregg joins me to explore themes from his latest book, Pure Human: The Hidden Truth of Our Divinity, Power, and Destiny, and to unpack what's really at stake as we move deeper into an age of artificial intelligence, transhumanism, and rapid technological change. Together, we explore how our biology, emotions, and intuition are not flaws at all, but expressions of an extraordinary intelligence already living within us. We touch on epigenetics, the regenerative capacity of the brain and heart, the science of coherence, and a fascinating genetic mystery—including the role of human chromosome 2 and how it may be tied to our capacity for empathy, creativity, and higher consciousness. We also explore why creativity, imagination, healing, and love are not outdated traits—but essential expressions of our humanness. We reflect on what we lost during the pandemic, why so many of us never had the space to grieve, and how honoring our biology may be the path back to resilience, meaning, and wholeness. This isn't a conversation rooted in fear—it's a remembering. A reminder of who we are, what we're capable of, and what it truly means to stay human. Key Moments You'll Love ✨:
Your Hope-Filled Perspective with Dr. Michelle Bengtson podcast
Episode Summary: Caring for others is one of the most beautiful expressions of Christlike love, yet it can also be one of the most exhausting. Whether someone is caring for an aging parent, a chronically ill spouse, a child with special needs, or a friend struggling through a difficult diagnosis, caregivers often experience emotional fatigue, compassion overload, and spiritual depletion. In honor of National Caregiver’s Day, today on Your Hope-Filled Perspective we are shining a bright and honoring spotlight on caregivers who quietly pour out strength and tenderness day after day. If you are a caregiver who feels seen and unseen all at once, this conversation is for you. Quotables from the episode: In this episode we want to acknowledge the deep emotional and spiritual cost that comes with caregiving, whether it’s caring for children, spouses, parents or someone else. Many caregivers love fiercely yet carry silent burdens. They often neglect their own rest while tending to the needs of others. They juggle responsibilities, appointments, medications, medical decisions, financial pressures, and emotional strain until their own souls feel frayed. If that describes you, know that God sees every moment of sacrifice. He understands every tear cried in private. He knows how heavy this calling can feel. Whether you are in a short-term caregiving season or you have been carrying this responsibility for years, we want to help you find strength, rest, and spiritual renewal. Yet God created rest not as a luxury but as a divine necessity. He invites caregivers to receive the strength they need directly from His presence. Caregivers often do not realize how overwhelmed they are until they are already close to burnout. They believe they should be able to keep going. They think rest is selfish. They feel guilty for asking for help. But caregiving is not meant to be a one-person mission. Caregiver burnout does not happen overnight. It happens slowly and quietly, often while someone is trying to be strong for everyone else. God never intended caregiving to be an isolating burden. Galatians teaches us to carry one another’s burdens. That includes the weight of caregiving. Asking for help is not a failure. It is a biblical principle If you have begun feeling resentful or emotionally disconnected, that is a powerful signal that your soul is in need of restoration. You cannot pour out what has not been filled. I want caregivers to hear this truth. You are not responsible for outcomes. You are responsible to love well and to walk faithfully, but God holds the results. Scripture References: Isaiah 40:29 “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.” Psalm 73:26 “My flesh and my heart may fail, but God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever.” Psalm 18:28 “You, Lord, keep my lamp burning; my God turns my darkness into light.” Jeremiah 31:25 “I will refresh the weary and satisfy the faint.” Recommended Resources: Free Caregiver Burnout Warning Sign Checklist Reframing Rejection: How Looking Through a Different Lens Changes Everything By Jessica Van Roekel Sacred Scars: Resting in God’s Promise That Your Past Is Not Wasted by Dr. Michelle Bengtson The Hem of His Garment: Reaching Out To God When Pain Overwhelms by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Today is Going to be a Good Day: 90 Promises from God to Start Your Day Off Right by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip: How to Reclaim the Peace God Promises by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Breaking Anxiety’s Grip Free Study Guide Free PDF Resource: How to Fight Fearful/Anxious Thoughts and Win Hope Prevails: Insights from a Doctor’s Personal Journey Through Depression by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Hope Prevails Bible Study by Dr. Michelle Bengtson Free Webinar: Help for When You’re Feeling Blue Social Media Links for Host and Guest: Connect with Rev.

“Trust in your inner knowing. Absolutely. And know that your angels do have your back.” – Nicole Olivier photo by Jonathan Condit Screenwriter and Hoffman Process graduate Nicole Olivier has a profound ancestral history. As a daughter of families active in France and Norway’s WWII Resistance, she grew up hearing family stories of moral courage and being of service. Nicole has woven these ancestral stories into her life’s work and art. Nicole is mindful of her ancestral patterns and epigenetics; how trauma was passed down and lives inside of her. During her childhood, she witnessed what was going on and attuned to the power dynamics playing out amid her parents’ divorce. As we all do, she developed patterns to get her through these early years. What’s beautiful about Nicole’s story is how she has worked and studied to understand the origins of those dynamics. The Hoffman Process, understanding somatics, and knowing the lineage of ancestral history supported her in releasing the power of those patterns. Transforming them and realizing they are not who she is supported a deeper capacity to witness and honor her ancestors’ profound courage and strength. Through her dedicated drive to understand how the unconscious is shaped in our early years and foster tools to cultivate compassion, Nicole now brings her wisdom more fully to the current focus of her art, screenwriting. Most recently, Nicole attended the Hoffman Q2 after the loss of her mother. Caring for her mother after a stroke until her peaceful passing was a deep act of service for Nicole. Now an ancestor, her mother is inspiring Nicole’s next screenplay. Her wish is to honor her mother and her mother’s life. Photo credit: Jonathan Condit Content warning: We hope you find this conversation with Nicole and Sadie insightful and inspiring. Please be aware that this episode mentions and includes stories of genocide, World War II, and the devastating events of these times. It describes the experience of a young child participating in France’s WWII Resistance. Please use your discretion. More about Nicole Olivier: Fascinated by human behavior and how the subconscious is shaped in formative years, Nicole Olivier majored in psychology at Mills College, studied at the Sorbonne, spoke about maintaining morale at the Western Psychology Association’s Convention, and participated in Stanford University’s inaugural Compassion Cultivation program. After a brief but award-winning career as an advertising copywriter in Manhattan and San Francisco, inspired by childhood influences from international cinema to sitcoms, Nicole wrote her first feature script in seven days – a spontaneous creative outpouring that launched her screenwriting path. She then reached the second round of the Sundance Screenwriting Competition twice and was selected as one of twelve writers for the Olympic Valley Community of Writers Screenwriters Workshop. Her mentor there was the gracious, Oscar-nominated Tom Rickman, founding Creative Advisor of the Workshop and the Sundance Screenwriters Lab. The daughter of families active in France and Norway’s WWII Resistance, Nicole developed a keen sensitivity to power dynamics and hypervigilance amid shifts sparked by her parents’ divorce. She channeled insights into her screenwriting, weaving in Thomas Hübl‘s epigenetic work, Peter Levine‘s somatics, EMDR, and tapping. Learning meditation in the early ’90s from spiritual mentor Jack Kornfield offered Nicole a model of benevolent leadership. In the film world, this was echoed by dear friend and mentor, Tom Luddy, founder of the Telluride Film Festival. Working alongside Christine Aylward, CEO of the former filmmakers’ forum, MakingOf, co-founded by Natalie Portman, underlined the importance of connecting with positive, values-based people. Caring for her wise, vibrant mother after a stroke in San Francisco until her peaceful passing nearly four years later inspired Nicole’s next screenplay, honoring the life of this heroic, service-oriented dynamo. Nicole welcomes new connections with creative allies and benefactors drawn to champion female filmmakers writing with levity about love, courage, and intergenerational healing.

In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 129), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the third major aspect: praising or commending the wicked (reshayim) in their presence or before others—even indirectly.Key teachings:Praising the wicked — Saying “he's a good person,” “he's pleasant,” or highlighting minor good deeds—even without justifying their evil—is forbidden. It risks elevating them undeservedly and creating stumbling blocks.Consequences — The wicked feel validated (“I'm really a good guy”), double down on evil, and become more entrenched. Others may honor them, envy their “success,” imitate them, or lose respect for true tzaddikim (righteous people).Honoring tzaddikim — When the righteous are exalted, people heed their counsel, envy their good deeds, and grow in Torah/yiras shamayim (fear of heaven). This aligns with Hashem's intent in creation.Practical warning — Avoid praising the wicked unless also mentioning their evil (to maintain balance and truth). Even neutral/positive comments can lead to misplaced honor and spiritual damage.Broader impact — Flattery of resha'im desecrates Torah/divine service. The soul yearns for closeness to Hashem—praising evil distances us from that.The rabbi ties this to current events (e.g., evil regimes collapsing) and emphasizes aligning with Hashem's values: honor the righteous, distance from flattery, and bring God-consciousness through truthful speech and actions._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 18, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Hollywood lost a legend with the passing of Robert Duvall. On this episode, we remember one of the greatest actors of his generation — a quiet giant whose performances defined toughness, vulnerability, and authenticity on screen. From Tom Hagen in The Godfather, to Lt. Col. Kilgore in Apocalypse Now, to his Oscar-winning turn in Tender Mercies, Duvall brought gravitas to every role. Hutt and Chad reflect on his legendary career, the characters that shaped cinema history, and why his understated brilliance stood out in an era of big personalities.

This week's conversation feels especially important. I sat down with Gregg Braden, luminary, teacher, and dear friend, to explore where our world is headed and how to stay rooted in heart-led consciousness as everything accelerates around us. We talked about optimism and overwhelm in a world changing faster than ever. About discernment. About honoring what makes us deeply, beautifully human. Gregg reminds us that our divinity is not something to outsource or overlook. We are living at a turning point — and the choices we make now matter. This episode invites you to reflect: Are the tools you use affirming your divinity…or quietly replacing it? I would truly love to hear what this stirs in you. What feels empowering? What feels confronting? What feels newly possible? We are living through a defining moment in history and your awareness matters more than you know. I'm honored to walk this journey with you. Takeaways We are living in a time where technology is increasingly integrated into our lives. Human divinity is defined as the ability to transcend perceived limitations. The chronic use of AI can diminish our creativity and cognitive abilities. It's essential to create benchmarks to assess whether technology affirms or denies our divinity. The distractions in our world are designed to keep us from recognizing our true potential. We are at a pivotal moment in history where our choices will shape the future of humanity. Honoring our humanness is crucial in the face of advancing technology. The existence of non-human intelligence has been part of our history and is becoming more acknowledged. The choices we make daily impact our sense of well-being and creativity. We must love ourselves enough to preserve our unique gifts and divinity.

Today we've got real talk from the red carpet with a nationally acclaimed guest whose career took him from Kansas City to Hollywood…and back. His name is Shawn Edwards, the longest-serving Black film critic of all time and one of cinema's most respected voices. For more than a quarter of a century he's had a front-row seat to movie history in the making. And now, he's bringing legacy to life with the Black Movie Hall of Fame, premiering soon in KC's historic 18th & Vine District. It's a celebration of cinematic trailblazers on and off the screen. And one part of a bigger mission to keep their impact in the spotlight, long after the camera stops rolling.Website: https://blackmoviehalloffame.org/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/sedwardskc/?hl=en Twitter: https://x.com/sedwardskc?lang=en Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/sedwardskc/Check out the conversation on YouTube: https://youtu.be/waKFph1rwug
In this Jewish Inspiration Podcast episode (Day 128), Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe continues the Gate of Flattery (Chanufa) from Orchos Tzaddikim, focusing on the second major aspect: praising or commending the wicked (even indirectly) in front of others.Key teachings:Praising evildoers (in their presence or behind their backs) is forbidden—even if not explicitly justifying their evil. Saying “he's a good guy” or highlighting minor good deeds risks elevating them undeservedly.This creates stumbling blocks: people may honor the wicked, envy their “success,” imitate them, or lose respect for true tzaddikim (righteous people).Honoring the righteous inspires others to follow their path and grow in Torah/yiras shamayim (fear of heaven).When tzaddikim are exalted, all creation acknowledges Hashem as Creator; when the wicked are praised, it desecrates divine service.Practical warning: avoid praising the wicked unless also mentioning their evil (to maintain balance and truth). Even neutral or positive comments can lead to misplaced honor.The rabbi ties this to current events (e.g., evil regimes on the brink) and emphasizes aligning with Hashem's values: honor the righteous, distance from flattery, and bring God-consciousness into the world through truthful speech and actions._____________This Podcast Series is Generously Underwritten by Peter & Becky BotvinRecorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on January 5, 2026, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on February 17, 2026_____________This series on Orchos Tzadikim/Ways of the Righteous is produced in partnership with Hachzek.Join the revolution of daily Mussar study at hachzek.com.We are using the Treasure of Life edition of the Orchos Tzadikkim (Published by Feldheim)_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired!

Host Jeremy C. Park interviews Amy Cotta, Founder and Executive Director of Memories of Honor, a nonprofit organization honoring fallen service members and their families through living memorials and various programs that provide meaningful experiences for the bereaved and opportunities for communities to pay their respects and learn from stories of courage, service, and sacrifice. During the interview, Cotta discusses the organization's 10-year history and its mission to ensure fallen service members and their families are remembered beyond Memorial Day. She highlights programs such as MD365, Music Remembers, Boots of Honor, and collaborations with Vanderbilt University and Gibson Gives. Cotta shares the impact of these initiatives on families and the community, emphasizing the importance of remembering fallen service members. She also outlines upcoming events, including a Salute to Service 5K, an Honor the Fallen 5K, and the Boots of Honor Memorial, inviting community involvement through volunteering and financial contributions.SummaryAmy Cotta discusses the 10th anniversary of the nonprofit organization, Memories of Honor, which is based in Franklin, Tennessee, and has a national reach. She explains their mission to honor, remember, and recognize fallen service members and their families beyond just one day a year. Amy highlights the gap in support for surviving families of fallen service members, noting that while there are organizations providing housing and education, there is a need for ongoing recognition and support beyond immediate post-loss assistance.Amy discusses the organization's mission to support surviving families and connect them with veterans and the community through various programs. She highlights MD365, which stands for Memorial Day 365 days a year, and mentions upcoming events for community engagement. She mentions a collaboration with Charlie Daniels in 2019 for the Music Remembers project, which provided family members with private meet and greets. Recently, Memories of Honor partnered with Gibson Gives to gift families with laser-engraved Epiphone guitars, serving as heirloom items with detailed information about the fallen service members.Amy discusses a program providing guitar lessons and highlights a successful initiative launched in February that pairs combat veterans with surviving families to create songs. She mentions the song "I'm Good," which tells the story of a fallen service member, their father, and the combat veteran, and notes its recent inclusion in an international Veteran Film Festival in Sydney, Australia.Amy discusses the upcoming installation of the Boots of Honor Memorial in Franklin, Tennessee, in May. The memorial, which has been in existence since 2012, will feature 7,470 individual combat boots representing fallen service members, each with a hard card containing the service member's photo and information. The memorial will be accessible to the public in a covered open-air area at Bicentennial Park, allowing for easy access for families, children, and individuals with disabilities.Amy discusses the importance of acknowledging fallen service members and their families. She shares an example of how Vanderbilt University honors fallen service members by wearing their names on jerseys during games. Amy emphasizes how meaningful it is for families to know that their loved one's name is being remembered, as it helps prevent them from feeling forgotten and alone. She shares stories about Gold Star families, who have lost loved ones in military service, highlighting how some soldiers remain unrecognized despite living near military bases. She describes how a woman's husband was finally acknowledged, and mentioned a similar experience from the Vietnam era where a brother broke down in tears at his brother's memorial sign during the Honor the Fallen 5K race.Amy expresses her hope that people who experience "Boots of Honor" will take away a meaningful message, particularly for military families. She emphasizes that freedom comes at a cost and that the pain of war continues for veterans and their families. Amy emphasizes the importance of remembering the families of fallen soldiers beyond Memorial Day and encourages attendees to reflect on the significance of the holiday. She urges people to avoid saying "Happy Memorial Day" and instead focus on gratitude and remembrance.Amy discusses upcoming events to support the community, including a Salute to Service 5K on April 11th with Vanderbilt University, the 11th annual Honor the Fallen 5K on May 2nd at the Grove Club, and the Boots of Honor Memorial project in June. She emphasizes the need for volunteers and financial contributions to make these events successful.Visit https://memoriesofhonor.com to learn more about Memories of Honor.Get Involved

As the United States celebrates its 250th birthday, it’s fitting to reflect on the biblical perspective of leadership. Daniel 2:21 reminds us that God “changes times and seasons; He deposes kings and raises up others. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” Every president, past and present, serves under God’s sovereign hand. Recognizing their achievements, especially those guided by faith, is a way to honor God’s provision for our nation. Intersecting Faith & Life How can we honor God by recognizing the positive impact of leaders He places in office? In what ways can you personally pray for national leaders and their decisions?

He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to the discerning.” - Daniel 2:21 What does it take to be President of the United States of America? As our nation prepares to celebrate its 250th birthday, we probably have a wide variety of thoughts and answers to this question. Still, throughout history, many men of various backgrounds, political leanings, religious beliefs, and stature have served as the President of the United States. Although we hold elections in the United States, we don’t want to ignore what Daniel explains: that God has a hand in who comes into leadership in our nation and that we really are not the ones in control. As we commemorate yet another President’s Day, it’s biblical to set time aside to honor the many men who have held the office, regardless of our political leanings. Being the President of the United States of America takes bravery and fortitude, as it comes with serious caution and risks to both the sitting president’s life and career. In Prayers and Presidents, author and historian William J. Federer presents statistics on the danger that being President holds: “Not every United States President left the White House on his own accord, with some dying in office and others murdered while serving. Four Presidents left office due to assassination, with the most famous and well-known account being that of the 16th President, Abraham Lincoln, and the 35th President, John F. Kennedy. Along with them, lesser-recognized presidents were murdered while in office, including 20th President, James A. Garfield, and 25th President, William McKinley. As well, 40th President Ronald Reagan and soon-to-be re-elected Donald J. Trump survived assassination attempts on their lives. Reagan, while in office, and Trum,p while on the presidential campaign trail before taking office in his second nonconsecutive term as our 47th President at 78 years old.” Regardless of the risks, from the very beginning of our nation’s birth, prayer has been recognized and encouraged by many of our Presidents, including our very first President, George Washington, who carried a well-worn pocket-sized edition of the Anglican Book of Common Prayer. Providence Forum executive director Dr. Jerry Newcombe describes how General Washington, during the Revolutionary War, felt the odds of winning were too great against us, so on July 4th, 1775—a year before independence—he sent the following order to his troops: “He requires and expects of all officers and soldiers, not engaged in actual duty, a punctual attendance on Divine service, to implore the blessing of Heaven upon the means used for our safety and defense.’" Some doubt God’s hand in America’s history and on America’s leaders. But Proverbs 21:1 reveals that, “In the Lord’s hand the king’s heart is a stream of water that He channels toward all who please Him.” As well, Proverbs 8:15 reassures us that God has a hand in who reigns and rules on earth: “By Me kings reign and rulers issue decrees that are just.” God receives glory for directing ways presidents have honored Him, such as the 33rd President, Harry S. Truman, who initiated the National Day of Prayer as an annual observance in 1952, stating: “In times of national crisis when we are striving to strengthen the foundations of peace… we stand in special need of Divine support.” In April 1970, President Richard M. Nixon urged Americans to pray for the Apollo 13 astronauts who were in crisis. As well, after their safe return, he set aside Sunday, April 19, 1970, as a National Day of Prayer and Thanksgiving. President Ronald Reagan established the National Day of Prayer on May 5, 1988, to be commemorated each year on the first Thursday in May, saying: “Americans in every generation have turned to their Maker in prayer… We have acknowledged… our dependence on Almighty God.”Following the September 11th, 2001, terrorist attacks and Hurricane Katrina, our 43rd President, George W. Bush, declared Days of Prayer. Intersecting Faith & Life: We are honoring God when we honor His accomplishments achieved through the leaders He places into office as our presidents. By recognizing their godly accomplishments, we are expressing gratitude and glorifying God for His just decrees.

Today we honor the journey of Jeremy Johnson, host of the Slutty Grace podcast, as we explore our parallel journeys of religious deconstruction. Both of us were raised in evangelical fundamentalist Christianity, and we discuss how we moved from rigid theological certainty to a more expansive, grace-centered faith. Jeremy shares his path from youth pastor to questioning core doctrines like total depravity, hell, and exclusionary salvation, catalyzed by reading Brian McLaren and experiencing diverse Christian traditions. Jeremy chats about how his childhood religious teachings shaped his self-worth, his eventual separation of faith from institutional paychecks, and his discovery that God's love might be far more generous and inclusive than he was ever taught. The conversation touches on the nature of sin, human connectedness, and the freedom found in embracing mystery and curiosity rather than doctrinal certainty.Find Jeromy at Slutty Grace Podcast!

When all hell broke loose for Amy and T.J. three years ago, PR legend Howard Bragman swooped in - refusing to take any compensation - and offered them daily counsel and a safe space. Bragman even insisted that the two join him and his friends on their annual vacation spot, to escape the press and pressure of losing high profile jobs. What they didn’t know at the time, Howard would suddenly pass days before their promised respite together, and his dying wish to them: Go to Mexico and be with my friends, no matter what happens. Howard passed three years ago today, and now, Amy and T.J. have returned to Howard’s favorite home away from home to remember the man who spent his life in the service of others.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
