Click to Subscribe: https://bit.ly/Youtube-Subscribe-SoapDirt Days of Our Lives on Peacock gave us some controversial storylines in 2024, featuring characters like Connie, played by Julie Dove, and Stefan DiMera, portrayed by Brandon Barash. Fans were left frustrated with plotlines involving Everett Lynch, portrayed by Blake Berris, who was introduced as Stephanie Johnson's ex and later revealed to be Bobby Stein, the ex-husband of Jada Hunter.  The DOOL character's hastily written exit was a major disappointment, as was the storyline involving Connie and her cardboard crush on Li Shin, played by Remington Hoffman. The return of Clyde Weston, played by James Read, also drew criticism. The plot involving a fake Abby, portrayed by AnnaLynne McCord, left fans longing for the return of the original Abigail Deveraux, previously played by Kate Mansi and Marci Miller. Lastly, the "Body and Soul" storyline was widely panned, leading to the termination of former head writer Ron Carlivati.  Despite the backlash, Days of Our Lives topped Peacock's ratings in the week of November 4th, with storylines focusing on Vivian Alamain (Louise Sorel), Phillip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier), Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow), Xander Cook (Paul Telfer), and Rafe Hernandez's (Galen Gering) proposal to Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu). Fans are now eagerly awaiting the work of the new female writing team, set to debut on April 30th, 2025.

Hello!Fermented food is literally everywhere.Why do we love fermented foods so much? When did we start making them intentionally and crucially are they good for us?Today's special guest on the podcast is James Read, author of the book "Of Cabbages & Kimchi"James Read is on a mission to smuggle bacteria into our kitchens. In Of Cabbages & Kimchi, he takes the ten greatest ‘living' ferments – fermented foods that are neither cooked nor pasteurized – and places them under the microscope, before cooking with them in all their delicious versatility.From the fiery funk of kimchi to the velvet tang of kefir, James describes the microbial process, then shares his recipes for recreating these wonders in your own kitchen. Alongside his recipes, James investigates the extraordinary cultural and historic backgrounds of fermented foods, exploring how the microbes that bring them to life have developed alongside our culinary evolution.So I went into his house yesterday and had a lovely chat about his favourite fermented foods.

Hopefully, through this limited podcast series, you can see what microaggressions, stereotyping, and discrimination look like today and how as a society we put people of color inside a box. A special thank you to Dr. Jim Coleman for hosting, and to Nicole Laurencio, Tahlia Walton, and Samantha Dalbec for their time and sharing their stories. As well as James Read, Wish's Father, for being apart of this podcast. A very special thank you to Derik Hancock for being the announcer and being the biggest supporter of this project.

Its January 1806 and the British have dispatched a fleet of 61 vessels to Cape Town under the charge of Commodore Home Popham to seize the port. As you've heard that was after the war between England and France reignited in 1805 after a the briefest of lulls. On the 2nd October 1805 Admiral Nelson overcame the combined French and Spanish fleets at Trafalgar and his victory helped put some of the fears of an invasion of England to rest. But this meant Cape Town and other colonial backwaters faced more ambitious projects Seven thousand troops were going to be deposited on the shores of the Peninsular. The fleet had arrived off Losperd's Bay, now called Melkbosstrand, twenty five kilometers north west of Cape Town. The wild Atlantic surf was heavy and 36 members of the Highland brigade drowned that morning when their boat capsized – leading to a quote from Captain Graham last episode where he said all went down singing. Perhaps that's a bit of an exaggeration – they were probably screaming for help but Graham is infamous for his histrionics as you'll hear. The British troops were armed with muskets and their usual regimental colours, including feathers, plumes and pompoms. Waiting for them was Dutch Governor Janssens and he was not welcoming. He had 1700 troops – 1258 of them regulars but his problem was all were unreliable. Erratic displays of courage had been the bane of the VOC Governors lives for 200 years already so no surprise there. Meanwhile, the missionaries James Read and Johannes van der Kemp were made aware of the arrival of a new master. At first, the two thought of it as an act of God in their favour, and just in time.

Last episode we heard about Doctor Somerville's expedition to Dithakong which was interesting but a failure in terms of its main aim. That was to secure cattle – he came back with only around 160 or so when the Cape needed a few hundred at least. Also on the move was the London Missionary Society's Johannes Theodorus van der Kemp – remember him? He had arrived in Graaff-Reinet in May 1801 joined by James Read replacing poor Edmonds who had a nervous breakdown while at Ngqika's Great Place. After the barren prothelytising disappointments of the Zuurveld, Graaff-Reinet offered something new. The village and its outskirts were packed with Khoekhoe seeking protection from the Boers and the Khoesan bandits and who responded eagerly to the van der Kemp's preaching. ON hand was commissioner Maynier – encouraging and helping them. Staring at all of this and aghast, were the Boers of the region. It was a seething hotbed of trekboer resistance to British rule. Maynier's principal task was to restore stability along the frontier. This meant getting the fugitive Boers back on their farms and reviving the economy so that they could supply meat to the Cape. Unfortunately for the Khoekhoe, it also meant convincing them to go back and work for the trekboers. To help balance things and motivate the Khoe, Maynier opened an employment register where wages were written down for the first time. Cases of ill-treatment of workers were also listed and there was recourse to the law. It's easy enough to criticize this treatment, what about the Khoe abused by the Boers you'd ask? Were they not to receive justice? Ndlambe was on the lamb after escaping from Ngqika's Great Place in February 1800 and had reunited with his adherent in the Zuurveld. He was reestablishing his power at the same time but it was hard work. Chungwa of the amaGqunukhwebe was resisting his advances both metaphorically and physically.

Maynier's principal task was to restore stability along the frontier. This meant getting the fugitive Boers back on their farms and reviving the economy so that they could supply meat to the Cape. Unfortunately for the Khoekhoe, it also meant convincing them to go back and work for the trekboers. To help balance things and motivate the Khoe, Maynier opened an employment register where wages were written down for the first time. Cases of ill-treatment of workers were also listed and there was recourse to the law. It's easy enough to criticize this treatment, what about the Khoe abused by the Boers you'd ask? Were they not to receive justice? Ndlambe was on the lamb after escaping from Ngqika's Great Place in February 1800 and had reunited with his adherent in the Zuurveld. He was reestablishing his power at the same time but it was hard work. Chungwa of the amaGqunukhwebe was resisting his advances both metaphorically and physically.

Last episode we heard about Doctor Somerville's expedition to Dithakong which was interesting but a failure in terms of its main aim. That was to secure cattle – he came back with only around 160 or so when the Cape needed a few hundred at least. Also on the move was the London Missionary Society's Johannes Theodorus van der Kemp – remember him? He had arrived in Graaff-Reinet in May 1801 joined by James Read replacing poor Edmonds who had a nervous breakdown while at Ngqika's Great Place. After the barren prothelytising disappointments of the Zuurveld, Graaff-Reinet offered something new. The village and its outskirts were packed with Khoekhoe seeking protection from the Boers and the Khoesan bandits and who responded eagerly to the van der Kemp's preaching. ON hand was commissioner Maynier – encouraging and helping them. Staring at all of this and aghast, were the Boers of the region. It was a seething hotbed of trekboer resistance to British rule.

Get bulletin Michael and Jesse took a long time to make the decision. They loved First Church. They loved the people. They loved their Sunday school class. Their kids love the youth group. But it was a big decision for them to decide to put their names forward for membership. They knew it would be a controversial issue in the church when they decided to join…because Michael was black and Jesse was white. They knew it would be controversial at First Church, because their relationship had been controversial at every church that they attended, and in both of their families. So they weren't surprised when the business meeting turned contentious. Most people were polite in their concern, but some were downright nasty. “It isn't natural.” “The Church has to stand for what's right.” “The Bible is clear on this issue.” “If we keep watering down our faith, how are we any different than the rest of the world?” In the end, the family was voted in by a rather wide margin. But for Michael and Jesse, they would always know that there were certain individuals who didn't want them there. This homemade parable could have taken place in the unrest of the Civil Rights era of the 60’s. Or last week, in some of our churches. When questions of changing cultural expectations hit the church, it gets messy. It is complicated to try and discern how the church is to engage in these cultural debates. What does it mean to be faithful to the message of God, and when are we just raising up a cultural standard, assuming it is God's Will? When are we watering down the faith, and when are we participating in a faith that is dynamic and ever-changing? These were the questions that faced the early Church. Today's Scripture passage tells the story of two of the early church leaders, Paul and Barnabas, and their work wrestling with these questions. They also had faced more than one contentious church meeting, and now found themselves in the middle of a fight between those who felt like the Holy Spirit was dynamic and creating a new way of living the faith…and those who felt like the “newness” was an abandonment of cherished values of the past. While the emotional processes are similar to Michael and Jesse, the issue in Acts is obviously a very different one. In this case, the issue at stake is circumcision. All the way back, since Genesis 12, when God covenants with Abram, circumcision was a symbol of that covenant. It was the way that God's people set themselves apart from the Egyptians and the Philistines and the Assyrians and Babylonians and Persians and Greeks and now the Romans. This symbol, alongside of a very specific way of living and eating and worshipping, was central to their faith. It was the way that Abraham and Moses and David and Ezra and Jesus and the disciples had lived their lives. These were symbols of their faith, and they were the signs that one had chosen to follow Yahweh. Like a wedding ring is a symbol of that relationship, or the flag a symbol of citizenship in a country. For generations these were expectations—indeed requirements—to follow the One True God. If someone is to join this community, circumcision is expected. But now, those long-held traditions are being questioned. After the stoning of Stephen, the Church began to scatter, and reach out to Gentiles…those who had not held to these traditions of Abraham. But these Gentiles were falling in love with Jesus. And early church leaders, like Paul and Barnabus, began to see the Holy Spirit at work in these Gentile believers. These uncircumcised, non-tradition-following Gentiles seemed like they were demonstrating the presence of God. And exhibiting gifts of the Holy Spirit of God. How should the Church respond? Let me suggest that we are about ready to find ourselves in a similar situation here in 2021. Not only are we wrestling with significant cultural changes and shifts, but the pandemic has caused us to have to ask a new set of significant questions about what it means to be Church. Consider these assumptions that have been held dear for a long time: Church is about being together, in the same physical space.Programming in the building is the only way to be Church.More activities means deeper spirituality.Church members have to live in the same community as the building. And many more! We will be forced to ask ourselves, like those Early Church members, what is truly the work of the Spirit, and what is simply “what we are used to”? What is the way that Church needs to be in order to be Church, or when is it something more tied to our culture and personal history and the dreaded “we've always done it this way”? Now, after the pandemic, we haven't always done it “this way.” And we find ourselves as shaken as some in the Early Church. So, where do we go from here? What does this story have to teach us about the days ahead? Let me suggest that Acts 15 isn't as simple as we have made it out to be sometimes. This passage is sometimes used to talk about inclusion of the outsider. The message goes something like this: “Just like those who insisted on circumcision for new converts, some in the Church insist on converting new church members not to the Gospel of Christ, but to their own narrow cultural expectations and personal way of living.” It's a good message. And I would suggest that much of the book of Acts is exactly about that message. About inclusion and welcoming those who are different than us. Two weeks ago, we talked about the outsider Stephen, and how the Twelve made his voice central to their leadership. Last week, we talked about the outsider Ethiopian Eunuch, and the ways that he was included despite Scriptural reasons for him not to be. After that, Paul and Barnabas go on this missionary journey to include and welcome the outsider Gentiles. And in what is perhaps the most striking example of this message, Acts 11 tells the story of Peter and Cornelius, where the primary leader of the church comes to understand that putting up walls of exclusion based on old Scriptural interpretation was simply not what the Spirit was up to. Acts echoes this message of inclusion again and again. But not Chapter 15. At least not the way that I read it. In my reading, this is not a story of inclusion of the Gentiles. I think by Acts 15, that is a closed case. This is not a story about how to convert the outsider. The question of Acts 15 is how to convert the insider. Look again at how the passage begins. Luke tells us that there are “certain individuals” who make their way to the Antioch church and begin telling the Gentiles that they are doing it wrong. They are “watering down the faith.” They need to read their Bibles. But by the time that Paul and Barnabas report this to the leaders in Jerusalem, the question is not whether or not these “certain individuals” are correct in their requirements for new converts. Paul and Barnabas don't think so. Peter doesn't think so…ever since Cornelius this is a closed case for him. Not even James, the brother of Jesus and rising leader in the Church, agrees with these people. The question by the time we get to Acts 15 is not “What we are going to do about these Gentiles?” The question is “What are we going to do about these ‘certain individuals?'” Because these early Church leaders know that the insider can be more of the problem than the outsider. Insiders who are more worried about making clones of themselves than opening their eyes to new expressions of faith. Insiders who cannot see the Spirit at work because the Spirit-filled Christians right in front of them don't fit their narrow personal experience of the faith. Insiders who are more worried about “watering down the faith” than about handing out invitations to the pool party. These early Church leaders know that the failure of these “certain individuals” to open the door to others simply means that they are shutting themselves out from the work of the Spirit. Paul and Barnabas don't show up looking for permission to convert the outsider, they are looking for advice to convert the insiders who don't think that they need to be converted. So, again, what about us? What happens when our insider status becomes a hindrance to the Gospel? What do we do next? What was the game plan for the Church, and what is our game plan moving forward for converting the “certain individuals” in our midst? Three parts from the passage make sense for us today: First, double down on grace. Look at Peter's words, starting in verse 6. Remember that all of these folks: Paul, Peter, James, have all been insiders, but have all come to realize that that insider-ness can be part of the problem. Those who can lead 10-part Bible studies on who we are supposed to leave out, stand in the way of the Church. They had all done it, but have now learned how to get over it, and have become converted themselves to the Gospel to the marginalized. Peter reminds the Church to be a place of grace. These “certain individuals” are just trying to figure it out. Biblical scholar Craig Koester suggests that what people fear most is not change, but loss. These “certain individuals” are losing what has been dear to them, and so some grace is required. Peter reminds us to be gracious to those who think that their insider status matters more than the love of Christ. By verse 11, he makes it clear: “on the contrary, we believe that we will be saved through the grace of the Lord Jesus” (not by whether or not we can name the books of the Bible in order, or our perfect Sunday school attendance since we were born). Outsiders and insiders alike will receive the same grace. The second word is this: shut up. In verse 12, it says “the whole assembly kept silence.” What this seems to mean is that they sat in the room together, quietly, intentionally. No one said a word. All learned to listen to the whispers of the Spirit. How often do we talk ourselves to death? Debate and discussion and conversation are important parts of the life of the Church. But sometimes, we need to sit. And listen. And be silent, before one another and the Holy Spirit. Conversion is a matter of the heart, and trying to talk one another into our position is a cognitive work. Sometimes, we need to shut up. And in the silence, we all find ourselves converted. Finally, a third word for us today from the Church leader James: Read your Bible! Again, this is a double-edged sword, since there is plenty of Biblical evidence for exclusion…these “certain individuals” were experts on it. But here in Acts 15, James uses the prophet Amos to teach that the overarching story of Scripture is that of inclusion. In the passage, the insiders are grieving the loss of the Temple, the traditional, physical space that mattered so much to them. But in the face of grief, the prophet foretells a time when even the Gentiles would seek the Lord of Israel. When God would call all peoples together. So how do you convert the insider? The Bible. Help them to see that their sacred text is not a license to exclude, a reservation book at a fancy restaurant that lets them in while others stay outside. The Story of Scripture has overall been a story of inclusion, of invitation, of welcome. To all of us…insider or outsider. James goes on to say that these outsiders should follow some of the rules of the insiders, a compromise to keep the “certain individuals” from getting too riled up. “They'll come around,” James seems to say. “Just humor them for a while and they'll figure it out eventually.” And it works. The Church business meeting concluded with consensus. The text says that “it seemed good to the Holy Spirit and to us.” There was unity in the end, where there was once division. And just a few chapters later, in Chapter 20, Acts tells us that Paul, ministering to a new community of outsiders, gathers around a very different symbol, the table of Christ. Here, Acts tells us that the Jesus-followers gathered on the first day of the week to share in the unity of the breaking of the bread. Insiders and new converts…together. A new symbol of unity and inclusion, where all are welcome. Church of 2021, we face a changing world, with confusing cultural expectations and divisions. But we face that world armed with grace, with quiet prayer, with Scripture to guide us, and a table to unite us.

So, I hinted at possibly doing this, and so it is...I am going to read James next, instead of John. James will be in keeping with a lot of the wisdom stuff that has been challenging me lately, so I want to lean into that a little. I feel like God is nudging me in the direction of some applied wisdom in my life. So, today I will read through James, and then tomorrow do a little background reading, then we'll start the chapter-by-chapter reading; which will probably be cut up into much smaller pieces because of the richness of this content. We will take that as we go though. For today though, the read-through. For me, in reading these 5 chapters of James, which really read a lot more like Proverbs than the Gospels, I had one big thought that came to mind that I think is SO important, and I that I can't recall really landing on before - it is the idea that James is really written to the individual, not the church. And, here is what I mean by that...I have often heard the question asked, “Is a person really saved if they don't act, at least in some ways, like a Christian is supposed to act...like as we are taught in the NT?” And here is the deal...I think James would tell us that the way YOU act is your business, it is between you and God; I have no need to enter into that discussion. My faith, in the same way, is my own journey. I think James is writing to us INDIVIDUALLY to encourage us, to challenge us, to push us, and to guide us...but I think his writing is to be used by ME for ME and as a mirror, not as a whip. James' words aren't intended for me to be used to whip you, or to beat you up about your faith...James is a mirror; it is meant for me to look at me, and you to look at you. It is a personal book. It is also important to note that James, to a large extent, isn't discussing salvation in his letter, but he is focused on application...he is answering the question of how to live as a believer; in other words, doing everything James says isn't a ticket to salvation, because we can't ‘act' our way into Heaven. We have to trust our way there by faith in Christ, as Paul taught us. It is important to remember that James was there in the Jerusalem Counsel when Paul came to push for lowering the bars on ‘getting into the church', and James was the outspoken person who said that we should place anything in the way of the person coming to faith so as not to hinder them. James is a fervent believer in salvation by faith, but he is also one who appears to have a real passion for challenging us to hold ourselves accountable to our faith, and to what we say we believe. So, as we read James, we are going to be challenged. We are going to feel, at times, like we are getting kicked in the teeth. It is important to remember that salvation is settled for us (assuming you are listening are saved by faith), this is about getting better, and it about looking at ourselves, individually, and using James' writing as a mirror to create moments of confession where we express openly to God where we've fallen short, and where we can trust God will meet us and renew us and prepare us to move forward and to grow. That's the best use of this writing in my opinion.

In episode six of the Glow Journal podcast, host Gemma Watts sits down with James Read, celebrity tanning expert and founder of his namesake brand, James Read Tan. Lady Gaga, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Kate Moss and Mariah Carey top James’ client list, and the man is quite literally responsible for turning a tan into a trend. Before James started working with global beauty powerhouses L’Oréal Paris and Saint Tropez, the idea of self tanning was yet to reach mainstream popularity. It wasn’t until James launched the world’s first standalone tanning salon that a tan became as much a part of a person’s overall beauty look as their hair or their makeup. James founded his namesake tanning brand in 2012 which is now stocked 38 countries worldwide. In this conversation, James’ shares how his training as a psychotherapist prepared him for life in tanning, the challenges of putting your own name to a brand and, of course, the Lady Gaga thing.

James Read Tan is the only tanning range formulated and headed up by a leading tanning expert. With his unique take on self tan, James was the first person to put skincare and tanning into the spotlight. Every product within the range is dreamt up by James himself, resulting in a concise edit of skincare rich, innovative, multi-purpose tanning products (or as we like to call them, tanning hybrids) to suit all skin tones and types.   James, is super fun and we had an amazing time together!      BEHIND THE BEAUTY NEWSLETTER http://bit.ly/2hnGo9L WEBSITE: https://www.behindthebeautypodcast.com FOLLOW ON INSTAGRAM https://www.instagram.com/behind.the.beauty.podcast/   GUEST: James Read WEBSITE: https://www.jamesreadtan.com INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/jamesreadtan/ FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/JamesReadTan TWITTER: https://twitter.com/jamesreadtan   ___________________________________   HOST SEREIN WU   YOUTUBE CHANNEL→ http://bit.ly/1JU5PUH   VLOG/LIFESTYLE CHANNEL | https://www.youtube.com/moreserein   INSTAGRAM | SNAPCHAT | TWITTER | FACEBOOK | PINTEREST @SEREINWU   BLOG http://sereinwu.com/    VLOG/LIFESTYLE CHANNEL | https://www.youtube.com/moreserein

Talk about a double-whammy! My chat with tanning guru James Read was so much fun I'm bringing it to you in a special two-part edition of the show. Full disclosure; James is my dear pal, but as much I adore him on a personal level he is also hugely inspiring. This is the boy from Kent who turned himself into a global beauty brand via the tanning booths of London department stores. He's the go-to 'tan man' for stars including Ellie Goulding and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.Here we chat about instagram, how he created his eponymous tanning collection, his inspirations and how he went from cheeky school boy to global entrepreneur. (Note: James references the movie The September issue, but the Anna Wintour quote he's talking about is one he read in 2000 and then saw again in the movie years later when it came out.)You can also download The Beauty Podcast with Emma G on iTunes and Soundcloud.James can be found on social media: Twitter: James Read Tan Facebook James Read Tan and via his website James Read TanYou can get in touch with me via my website Emma Gunavardhana, where you can also sign up for the show's newsletter or on social media; Twitter @EmmaG_Beauty and Instagram where I'm@emmaguns Permalink See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
