On today’s program, you will hear News Assistant Cori Jobman speak with Mid-Prairie drama students, Caroline Schrader, Jillian Clark, Ryann Dolan, Brock Lowenberg, Greyson Ghumm, and Director Christine Meader, about their upcoming production of Alice by Heart.
Join hosts Don Patterson and Roan Miller for a warm, candid episode of Relish that blends humor, personal stories, and practical theology. They kick off with morning devotion habits and a lighthearted quiz game, reflect on a 50th high school reunion, and answer the simple but profound question: Who is Jesus? Expect laughter, memory lapses, and heartfelt testimony about faith lived out. The conversation moves into deeper territory on how Christians should speak into one another's lives. Don explores biblical foundations for confronting sin and calling friends to growth, referencing Ephesians and Paul's counsel in 2 Corinthians about godly sorrow that leads to repentance. They discuss the balance of speaking truth in love, the responsibilities of close fellowship, and the importance of sharpening one another as the body of Christ. Listeners will also hear a thoughtful comparison of Amish and Mennonite practice and belief — from the Schleitheim Confession and the use of the ban (excommunication) to differences in emphasis on outward customs versus inward spirituality. Don explains why some Amish are adopting English Bibles to better understand Scripture, and why both communities prize the Word of God. Throughout the episode you'll get down-to-earth pastoral insight, practical takeaways for friendship and church life, and an open invitation: the hosts offer to come speak and take questions at local churches. Expect a blend of story, Scripture, and hospitality — the kind of conversation that aims to add a little spice to your life and deepen your walk with God.

Hey friend — welcome back to Relish with Rowan and Don, where we tackle the big, messy questions about faith in a simple, down-to-earth way. In this short episode they answer listener questions about hearing God's call, praying with confidence (and not always getting a yes), what Exodus really meant by “eye for an eye,” and how Jesus raises the bar on justice and forgiveness. If you're wrestling with a job change, holy discontent, spiritual warfare, or whether retaliation ever makes sense, this chat gives practical stories, gentle wisdom, and a reminder that you don't have to carry it alone — God's got this. Stick around, share it with someone who needs a little spice today, and thanks for listening.

Song: Towo Kalona Music by: Alix Thorpe Notes: I did something a little different in the way I shared this -- I took time with the proto-Celtic, so you could be comfortable singing in a Bronze-Era language... and then there's the usual looped section, with a harmony above and below -- but then at the reprise, I sing just the melody with piano, and then just the piano so you can sing the melody yourself, and allow me to accompany you. I find this song of Alix Thorpe's beautifully addictive, and there's something about singing in a bone language that feels like healing perspective to me. After you are snagged by the melody and parts on the podcast, buy it from her on Bandcamp, where you can hear the full English lyrics! Songwriter Info: Alix is a mother, a birth doula and a shiatsu practitioner who lives in Devon in England. She found her voice and began writing songs only a few years ago. Song for Alix is a way of prayer and an expression of soul. She has written several songs in proto-Celtic; a kind of "spirit language" and ancestral mother tongue made of the earliest traceable fragments of the Celtic languages, dating back around 4000 years. Dreaming with proto-Celtic has been a powerful vehicle for kindling connection with her ancestral roots. Alix's songs are particularly inspired by whales, the spirit of the rose, Buddhism and honouring sacred rites of passage. Sharing Info: The song is free to share but Alix always welcomes financial and/or networking support if/when folks are so moved.

Hey there! Dive into this episode where we explore the true meaning of peace from a biblical perspective. It's not just about avoiding conflict or the "peace, dude" vibes from the 70s and 80s! We're delving into the deeper, richer essence of peace that originates from the shalom of the Old Testament – a peace that desires to make things whole again, just as it was in the creation story. Join us as we uncover how peace is one of the fruits of the Spirit, intricately linked with love and joy. We'll walk through scriptures that reveal how lasting peace comes from the Lord and how our conduct, inspired by God's teachings, can help maintain peace in our relationships. Ever thought about how pride can disrupt peace? Yeah, we talk about that too, and how embracing humility can pave the way to reconciliation and deeper connections. Whether you're dealing with personal conflicts or navigating the stormy seas of world politics, this episode guides you in nurturing the peace that surpasses all understanding. So, grab a cozy seat, maybe a warm cup of tea, and let's embark on a journey towards reclaiming peace in our hearts and our world. Shalom, my friend!

[Get the Full show notes and blog posts by visiting the Seeds of Tao podcast here] Description: How does a small, community-owned organic dairy, rooted in the slow-paced traditions of Amish and Mennonite farmers, compete against slick, billion-dollar brands? The answer lies in authenticity, a deep understanding of customer values, and a story that truly resonates. In this episode, Joshua sits down with Sam Ingersoll, a passionate advocate and marketing leader in the regenerative food space. Sam shares his incredible "full circle" journey—from growing up on a farm and hating it, to an Ivy League education and the high-stakes world of tech marketing, and finally back to his roots, promoting the very principles he once fled. This conversation is a masterclass in regenerative marketing, exploring how to build a resilient brand, why listening is your most powerful tool, and how the connection between soil health and our own gut health may be the most important story we can tell. Show Notes: (8:46) Welcome to Kalona, Iowa: Sam describes the unique "ecological oasis" where he works, home to one of the largest concentrations of Amish and organic dairy farms in the U.S. (11:14) What Gets You Out of Bed? Sam shares his passion for being a consumer advocate and how marketing regenerative products is a way to have a tangible impact on human health and the planet. (15:13) Building a Resilient Business: The fascinating story of how Kalona Supernatural was founded by Amish farmers and protected itself through diversification and vertical integration. (22:23) A 'Regenpreneur's' Journey: Sam details his personal story, from a farm in Washington to Yale, to a spam-marketing office in Pakistan, and his eventual decision to reject the conventional corporate path for more meaningful work. (29:25) Coming Full Circle: Sam talks about joining the board of Hungry World Farm, the very nonprofit that took over the farm he grew up on. (38:37) From Ivy League to Farmer's Logic: How Sam's educational journey taught him the power of asking "why" and how that same principle of observation and adjustment is critical in regenerative agriculture. (48:08) The Art of Regenerative Marketing: Sam reveals his strategy of slowing down, having one-on-one conversations, and building genuine, long-term relationships with customers and influencers. (1:08:29) The Tipping Point for the Movement: Sam's key insight—that the regenerative movement will truly take off when consumers, particularly women, connect the dots between soil health and their family's gut health. (1:19:55) You're Not Selling a Carrot, You're Selling an Experience: Sam's final advice for entrepreneurs on the importance of becoming educators and storytellers to differentiate their products and build a loyal following.

On this episode of the ReGen Brands podcast, we're joined by Joe Miller from Kalona SuperNatural — a 20-year veteran of the dairy world and a passionate advocate for organic and regenerative farming. We dig into Kalona's unique vertically integrated ecosystem (that includes 19 different businesses!), the brand's deep partnerships with family dairy farms, and all the ways regenerative is shaping their efforts from soil to shelf. Joe shares the story of how a group of farmers took matters into their own hands when the local co-op abandoned the organic market — and why practices like low-temp pasteurization and non-homogenization are helping differentiate their “almost raw” dairy offerings. We also discuss the challenging questions — how regenerative dairy can thrive and scale in a landscape dominated by consolidation, consumer confusion, and razor-thin margins. And Joe gives a heartfelt case for why organic and regenerative matters more than ever — to the land, to the farmer, and to the person drinking the milk. Episode Highlights:
Ever wondered about the magical blend of work and spirituality?

Plus, we tackle the delicate topic of disputes among us and how to handle them like the saints we're called to be. Tune in for a heartening perspective on how putting Christ at the core of our work and everyday lives can truly transform everything. Join us, get comfy, and perhaps find a new zest for your daily grind. Let's relish this journey together!
