Last month, Gov. Jeff Landry announced a SpaceX launch site is coming to South Louisiana. Educational and economic development organizations are now retooling their workforce training programs in preparation for potential job opportunities. Christiaan Mader, founder of the Current in Lafayette, tells us more.  New Orleans may be losing its accent. In a recent study by the American Dialect Society, Katie Carmichael, a linguistics professor at Virginia Tech, found a slow disappearance of New Orleans' trademark “Yat”  accent — so named for the ubiquitous greeting, “Where Y'at?” Mel Bridges spoke with Professor Carmichael about why the accent is changing, and what it's changing into.Back in July, the University of New Orleans officially rejoined the LSU system. While enrollment levels are not quite what administrators hoped for, the faculty says the school is slowing its decade-long loss of students. Jeanette Weiland, interim chancellor and chief administrative officer, tells us more about the start of the school year at LSU NO and what the numbers are telling us. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

Raleston Luck.     To the south lay the old cypress swamps, dark glens of rotting wood and sprawling vines. A spur of this unsavory no-man's land ran close along the road, and looking into it one could almost believe, fancied Val, in the legends told by the early French explorers concerning the giant monsters who were supposed to haunt the swamps and wild lands at the mouth of the Mississippi. He would not have been surprised to see a brontosaurus peeking coyly down at him from twenty feet or so of neck. It was just the sort of place any self-respecting brontosaurus would have wallowed in.     But at last they won free from that place of cold and dank odors. Passing through Chalmette, they struck the main highway. From then on it was simple enough. St. Bernard Highway led into St. Claude Avenue and that melted into North Rampart street, one of the boundaries of the old French city. This week in Louisiana history. September 25, 1912.

The story of our ongoing Cellar West series goes back to a box sent to us by owner Zach Nichols in late 2020, and we've become quite literate in their mastery of many different styles in the years since. Originating from Lafayette, Colorado (just outside of Boulder) with a second location in Erie, Colorado, Cellar West has won their fair share of awards along the way - and this lineup could end up being the best we've had out of four episodes. Also, Craig is a bit in his head about shoe tying; we marvel at the strange lore and world-building offered by the sides of these cans; Ryan and Craig care about different physical points of moistness; and we get blindsided by the blanket meat.

The Declaration of Independence announced more than a separation from Britain. It made a claim about government itself: that people hold rights government did not grant and cannot take away, and that legitimate power rests on the consent of the governed. Those ideas were unprecedented in 1776. Two hundred fifty years later, they are still unfinished business.Judge Douglas Ginsburg joins Katie Crawford-Lackey to consider what the Declaration has meant at home and abroad. He served on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, including a term as chief judge, and hosted the PBS series A More or Less Perfect Union and We Hold These Truths.They trace the document's reach: more than a hundred national founding texts that reference it, the French Declaration of the Rights of Man, drafted by Lafayette with Jefferson at his elbow, Ho Chi Minh quoting it word for word. And they trace its use here — Seneca Falls, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King Jr. calling it a promissory note come due.Ginsburg also takes up the harder questions. How a document proclaiming equality emerged from a society built on slavery. Why "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness" replaced "property." Whether the Declaration carries legal weight today, and what it would mean for courts to start from a presumption of liberty rather than a presumption that the government is right.The Declaration, he argues, is a yardstick, not a finish line. Every generation has to pick it up again.

King Scott is back from paternity leave, which means it's time for the proud new dad to tell us all about the miracle of childbirth while the rest of the show asks every inappropriate follow-up question imaginable. Welcome back, buddy. We missed you.This funny podcast starts with King Scott taking us through the arrival of St Louis's official princess, from contractions kicking into high gear to the 4 a.m. hospital trip and the slightly optimistic prediction that the baby would arrive in about two hours. Spoiler: she did not respect the schedule.After a long day of labor, an epidural and plenty of waiting, Scott finally got to watch his daughter enter the world, cut the cord and experience that completely surreal moment of realizing, “Oh… we're responsible for keeping this person alive now.” Naturally, the crew handles this beautiful story with all the maturity you'd expect, including discussions about break dancers breaking water, newborns looking like catcher's mitts and whether Creed should just play continuously throughout maternity wards.Then comes the first drive home, introducing the baby to the dogs and learning just how much stuff modern parents apparently need. Scott's hand-me-down Doona stroller/car-seat contraption gets dubbed a “baby Transformer,” because apparently infants now require equipment more advanced than the vehicles most of us drove in high school.And then fatherhood officially welcomes Scott to the club.During a middle-of-the-night diaper change, his daughter unleashes what can only be described as a poop volcano directly onto Dad. That's love. That's bonding. That's also a shirt immediately entering the washing machine.Outside the nursery, Rizz has some questions after Lafayette's homecoming pep rally recognizes the school's athletes… except the hockey team. The hockey players are standing there in their jerseys while everybody else gets their moment, leaving the crew to investigate the apparent discrimination against teenagers willing to voluntarily get slammed into boards. Somehow this also leads to the discovery that esports coaches are real, scholarships exist and we have absolutely no clue how you make a gamer “run laps.”Then this funny podcast heads to Jamie Rivers and Ashley's wedding, where the crew arrives ready to celebrate and discovers the “heavy appetizers” have already been demolished. Nothing says romance like showing up hungry and finding one surviving broccoli floret.The party eventually migrates to a speakeasy, complete with a puzzle to get inside — something Rizz has approximately zero patience for after a night of celebrating. Once inside, things escalate into exactly the kind of radio-industry wedding afterparty you'd expect: drinks flowing, coworkers getting increasingly affectionate, another bride arriving to discover the Rizz Show crew has basically occupied the joint, and enough former hockey enforcers nearby that Rafe suddenly feels extremely confident about winning any hypothetical bar fight.New babies. Diaper explosions. Baby Transformers. Forgotten hockey players. Missing wedding food. Speakeasy puzzles. And radio people proving once again that apparently nobody taught them when the party is over.It's parenthood, weddings and beautifully questionable decision-making packed into one funny podcast from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of Seeing Them Live, Charles welcomes Jennifer Edwards, the creator and host of the YouTube channel Jen's Addiction, where she shares her passions for music, vinyl collecting, comic books, art, and classic horror. A self-described nostalgic with a deep emotional connection to vinyl, Jennifer explains why records are more than just a listening format — they're art you can hold, display, and collect. She and Charles dive into the perennial debate of vinyl versus CDs versus streaming, with Jennifer making the case that the warmth and nuance of a record — the fingers on the strings, the imperfections, the artwork — create an experience that digital formats simply can't replicate. She also shares her adventures in bulk collecting, including purchasing a collection of 3,000 CDs, and offers practical advice for collectors navigating Discogs, first pressings, and the sometimes-murky world of limited-edition numbering.The conversation then turns to Jennifer's lifelong concert-going journey, starting with her very first show — The Romantics at the Long Center in Lafayette, Indiana, when she was around 14 years old. That experience was transformative, igniting a passion not just for live music but for playing it, leading her to pick up the bass guitar at 16 and briefly front a band called The Llamas. Jennifer recounts some of her best concert moments, including seeing The Damned from the front row at Brooklyn Bowl in Nashville, catching The Cure on the Disintegration Tour, and watching Neil Peart's drum solos with Rush. She also shares an unforgettable encounter with Ogre, the singer of Skinny Puppy, at a monster convention — a conversation that lasted over an hour and ranged from music to horses and left her feeling that meeting an idol later in life, when both people are in a better place, can be far more meaningful than a fleeting interaction in the chaos of youth.Jennifer opens up about her most disappointing concert experience — the Jane's Addiction reunion show in Indiana, which was canceled just a few shows before the end of the tour, leaving her heartbroken after looking forward to seeing both Jane's Addiction and Love and Rockets. She also describes her most surprising concert: the 1995 Grateful Dead show at Deer Creek, where the crowd turned unruly, fans broke through the back fence during "Desolation Row," and the band kept playing as the situation spiraled — an eerie precursor to the end of the Dead era. The episode wraps with Jennifer sharing cherished pieces of her concert ephemera, including a Power Station T-shirt from a legendary teenage adventure in Cincinnati (where a photo lab worker handed her extra prints from John Taylor's personal camera) and a pair of drumsticks caught from Jesus and Mary Chain drummer Zach Alford. She also discusses her approach to album reviews on her channel — favoring enthusiasm over critical jargon — and encourages listeners to find their passion, engage with creators, and be part of the conversation.

You’re probably familiar with the saying, “Beauty is skin deep.” It’s meant to be a cautionary warning not to read too much into a person’s looks. And while that’s generally good advice, it’s good to be aware the saying dates back to the 1600’s. Today we know that a healthy complexion can indeed be an indicator of a healthy body. And, conversely, not taking care of your skin can lead to adverse, and sometimes very serious, health challenges. As our interest in skincare has grown, so has the skincare industry. There are now an estimated 13,000 skincare clinics across the country. One of them is a day spa company called SpaVia which has around 60 locations in the US. Here in Acadiana, our SpaVia location is on Ambassador Caffery in Lafayette. Jennifer Lambert is the local owner of the franchise. Keeping your skin healthy and keeping a youthful appearance isn’t a one-and-done proposition. You’ve got to keep on top of it. If you’re not a human being though -- there’s an alternative. With just one visit to Matthew Courville, you can look eternally your best. And I mean, “eternally.” The only caveat is, you have to be dead. Matthew is the owner of MC Taxidermy. Whether you’re a total fashionista, constantly conscious of your appearance, or you’re living off the grid out in the swamp and don’t care what you look like, your skin is your body’s largest organ. Every day, every hour, every minute, your skin is performing all kinds of chemical reactions to try and keep you healthy. Even if you do nothing to help it, it will succeed - to a certain extent and up to a point in time when – sometimes literally – it burns out. You can help your skin and your whole self stay healthy by visiting a day spa like SpaVia. And if you want to preserve a non-human that means something to you, well, there’s taxidermy.

Discover Lafayette welcomes Missy Rogers, founder and president of Noble Plastics, an advanced manufacturing company headquartered in Grand Coteau, Louisiana. Noble Plastics is a remarkable Acadiana success story. What began in 2000 with one injection molding machine and Missy as the company's sole employee has grown into a sophisticated manufacturing operation specializing in precision injection molding, engineering and robotic automation. A mechanical engineer by training, Missy built Noble Plastics around a deceptively simple idea: solve difficult problems for customers and be willing to manufacture things others say cannot be done. But as Missy shares in our conversation, Noble's success has never been about one person.“It's never been about me, and it's never been something that can be achieved by an individual. I think the sooner you recognize that, the sooner you empower the capable people around you.” From Engineering to Entrepreneurship Missy grew up on the West Bank of New Orleans and earned her mechanical engineering degree from LSU. Today, she serves in advisory capacities at both LSU and UL Lafayette, and after three decades in the Lafayette area, she considers Acadiana home. Her grandfather, an engineer himself, had a profound influence on her life and leadership philosophy. He taught her to see herself as “a piece of the whole, not the head of the whole,” a lesson she continues to emphasize as Noble develops new managers and leaders. Missy met her husband, Scott Rogers, while both were mechanical engineering students at LSU. She describes herself as the analytical engineer and Scott as the creative, visionary engineer. Their complementary strengths eventually helped launch Noble Plastics. In the late 1990s, both were working in the energy sector when Scott recognized opportunities to use advanced plastics in applications traditionally dominated by steel. The automotive industry was already turning to lightweight materials to reduce weight and cost, and Missy and Scott both saw potential for the same transition in energy and defense. Plastics could offer properties particularly useful in demanding applications: chemical neutrality, electrical insulation, lighter weight and the ability to replace certain metal components. There was skepticism. Missy remembers being told some of their ideas simply couldn’t be done. But that became part of Noble’s niche. “Sometimes it takes a visionary who doesn't see the limits, like my husband. And then a person like myself who will say, ‘Yeah, I believe in you. I'll support this. Let's find a way.'” Building a Company and a Family at the Same Time Noble Plastics’ first home was the rear of a rented building in an industrial park off Ambassador Caffery. Missy had a detailed five-year business plan, but life quickly reminded this self-described planner that not everything fits neatly into a spreadsheet. She and Scott already had two young children when Missy unexpectedly became pregnant with their third. Her attorney and accountant jokingly pointed out that there was nothing on page 17 of her carefully constructed business plan about having a baby in the third quarter. Her son spent much of his first year in a Pack ‘n Play in her office. Missy recalls holding him while a client signed a contract, handing the baby to the client, and then signing the agreement herself. That experience helped define the kind of people Noble wanted to work with: clients who valued relationships, local jobs and a company that understood their industries. What Exactly Does Noble Plastics Make? Noble is not making disposable cups, water-bottle caps or other commodity plastic products. The company occupies a highly specialized precision manufacturing space. In injection molding, solid plastic pellets are heated under pressure until the material flows, injected into a precision mold and then cooled back into a solid form. Depending upon the material, temperatures can reach the 500-, 600- or even 700-degree range. And these are not necessarily ordinary plastics. Noble works with specialty materials containing glass fiber, carbon fiber, nanotubes and other components engineered for strength, durability, heat management and insulating properties. Missy offers a wonderfully understandable description of the highly sophisticated equipment Noble Plastics operates: “They are like giant hot glue guns.” The difference is what comes out of those “hot glue guns.” Noble Plastics manufactures precision components used in energy, defense, solar, sporting goods and other industries, often creating parts the average consumer will never see. “What we make really matters in the programs that they go into,” Missy says. “And there's a sense of pride for that.” Perhaps no story better illustrates the breadth of Noble’s work than one Missy recalls from about 15 years ago. On the same day, Noble’s smallest machine was producing super-glue extender caps used to attach fake fingernails, while its largest machine was manufacturing components for a TOW missile launcher. “That's about as wide a spectrum of markets and clients” as you can imagine. Why Plastics Matter to Louisiana Missy also offers a fascinating perspective on an economic opportunity Louisiana has historically left on the table. When Noble was founded, she recalls Louisiana ranking at or near the top nationally in the manufacture of plastic materials because of the state’s enormous petrochemical industry. Louisiana plants produced polyethylene, polypropylene and other materials derived from petroleum and natural gas. Yet much of that material left Louisiana before being converted into finished products. Missy believes manufacturing provides an opportunity to close more of that supply chain loop within Louisiana, particularly as companies increasingly focus on reshoring and domestic production. “I think it's going to be a beautiful age for Louisiana economic development to recover our manufacturing base.” Noble’s $8.5 Million Expansion in Grand Coteau Noble is now entering another significant chapter. The company announced an $8.5 million expansion of its Grand Coteau headquarters to increase production capacity, including work for solar technology manufacturer First Solar. Noble will manufacture plastic housings that protect electrical components carrying energy from photovoltaic panels into electrical systems. At the time of our interview, Noble employed people numbering in the mid-to-high 60s, with Missy expecting that number to move into the mid-to-high 70s by the end of the year. She believes the company could surpass 100 employees next year. For a founder who once was the only employee, she admits that “100” is a slightly intimidating number. Those jobs aren’t limited to engineers. Noble employs setup technicians, quality technicians, maintenance personnel, production workers, warehouse employees, shipping and receiving staff, along with professionals in sales, accounting and other support roles. Missy is particularly proud of the opportunity Noble provides people who may never have imagined themselves working in advanced manufacturing. “We're finding people who with very basic education are discovering they have some natural gifts, and we do what we can to further their education, certifications, to increase their earning power for themselves and their families.” How Katrina Led Noble Plastics to Grand Coteau Noble’s arrival in Grand Coteau came through an unexpected turn of events following Hurricane Katrina. The company had ordered a large molding machine that would not fit into its existing Lafayette facility. Missy had signed a performance contract and needed a larger building quickly. Noble made a full-price offer on a Lafayette property that would accommodate the new equipment. Then Katrina struck. Rather than receiving an acceptance, Missy says the real estate agreement was torn up and the property was relisted for five times its previous asking price. With a machine on the way and a contract to fulfill, she began searching desperately for another option. While regularly driving the I-49 corridor to visit her in-laws, she noticed a building along the frontage road in Grand Coteau. It wasn’t for sale. Missy approached the owner anyway, explaining who Noble Plastics was and the type of company she hoped to build: clean, safe manufacturing that could have a positive impact on a small community. The owner shared that vision, and they made a deal. Noble Plastics has been part of the Grand Coteau community ever since. Creating Opportunity Without Artificial Barriers Missy speaks passionately about workforce development and giving people an opportunity to discover talents they may not know they possess. Noble Plastics has a significant number of women in leadership, including in human resources, operations, quality control and production. Missy says the company doesn’t approach manufacturing jobs through assumptions about gender, formal education or previous experience. The trait that matters most is care. “If we get a person who is conscientious about their work, we're going to find a way for them.” Because Noble Plastics serves customers whose products often have important safety and performance requirements, employees must be meticulous, thorough and proud of the quality of their work. “There's opportunity for everybody,” Missy says. Robots Don’t Have to Take Human Jobs Robotics has been embedded in Noble’s manufacturing philosophy almost from the beginning. The company’s robots remove parts from molding machines, inspect them and perform repetitive processes with extraordinary consistency. Noble has self-integrated FANUC robotics for more than two decades and has also designed automation systems for other manufacturers for roughly 15 years. Missy challenges the familiar fear that automation simply eliminates human jobs. In manufacturing, she explains, robots are particularly useful for jobs described as “dirty, dumb or dangerous.” “Human dignity is beyond that. And so it's less about our robots taking our jobs away than it is, well, let's have people do the things that matter. And let's have robots pick and clip and twist and place.” For Noble, automation allows people to focus more heavily on judgment, quality and attention to detail while machines handle repetitive physical tasks. Engineering, AI and the Value of Human Judgment Missy remains an enthusiastic advocate for engineering as a career, particularly for young people wondering how artificial intelligence might reshape their futures. She doesn’t believe engineering will be replaced by AI. The software, simulations and analytical tools engineers use will undoubtedly become faster and more powerful. Noble itself relies on sophisticated software and simulations. But Missy still keeps graph paper and a pencil nearby. “I'm pretty old school,” she laughs. “My gray hair has been earned.” Ultimately, she believes human judgment and accountability remain essential in fields where public safety is involved. Serving the Federal Reserve Missy’s perspective on manufacturing, workforce development and the economy has also led to an extraordinary leadership role beyond Noble Plastics. She chairs the board of directors of the New Orleans Branch of the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. She readily admits she loves the work. A self-described “numbers nerd,” Missy says her involvement grew from opportunities to share what she was seeing in manufacturing, automation, capital investment and broader industry trends. Her Federal Reserve service has reinforced something she already believed deeply: economic development ultimately comes down to people and opportunity. Acadiana, she says, possesses a cultural willingness to say, “We can do this” and “I will try it.” And that matters when Louisiana competes for investment. “You can't wait for somebody to pick you and just sprinkle money into your community. You've got to want those companies to come in, because they've got to believe that you're going to help them become successful.” Missy believes Acadiana has precisely that kind of workforce. “Give us a shot.” The “Win, Win, Win” Philosophy One theme runs throughout our conversation with Missy: business doesn’t have to be a zero-sum game. She contrasts the “I have to win, so you have to lose” mentality she has sometimes encountered elsewhere with the collaborative approach she sees in Acadiana. “The best outcome is win, win, win. My company can win. My client's company can win. And the ultimate user of the product wins. Let's do this together.” That philosophy extends beyond Noble itself. A growing manufacturer needs trucking companies, boxes, uniforms, accounting, banking, technology services and countless other businesses. One company’s growth creates opportunities throughout the community. Missy Rogers wants young people to see a future for themselves here. “There's a lot of good companies. There's a lot of good opportunity. I want our students to stay here and find it here.” “Young people need to know and believe that they can trust in themselves and they can trust in the community. We want you to succeed. We want you to take your idea and manifest it into something that's going to have impact beyond your own vision.” From a 3D Printer to 10,000 Parts For inventors, Missy offers a practical lesson in how products move from an idea to mass production. Today’s affordable 3D printers have made it possible for almost anyone to experiment, prototype and create. She loves that accessibility because it encourages people to become makers again. But there comes a point when a successful invention outgrows the 3D printer. If you need five or twelve pieces, 3D printing may make perfect sense. If suddenly Walmart, Target or Amazon wants 10,000 of them, Missy says that’s when Noble’s phone should ring. Injection molding is a volume business because the precision steel molds themselves can cost tens or even hundreds of thousands of dollars. Once that investment is made, however, individual parts can be manufactured efficiently at tremendous scale. Noble has products for which it manufactures approximately a quarter-million units per week. And When Missy Isn’t Thinking About Manufacturing… She reads. A lot. Missy also loves to cook and has one particularly impressive creative pursuit: she makes and hand-paints chocolates. Think dark chocolate cherry bourbon truffles and brandy truffles, decorated by hand. And yes, the founder of Noble Plastics appreciates the irony. “I do have some excellent mold-making capabilities.” Believe That Things Are Possible Perhaps the most compelling aspect of our conversation with Missy Rogers is not injection molding, robotics or even the extraordinary growth of Noble Plastics. It is her belief in people. Her story is one of engineering and entrepreneurship, but also of family, mentors, employees, customers and a community willing to help one another succeed. Twenty-six years after that first machine arrived, she still talks less about what she has accomplished than about what becomes possible when talented people are given an opportunity.

What if you had learned the Enneagram when you were a teenager? In this replay of my conversation with Ainsley Britton, author of The Enneagram for Teens, we explore what self-awareness can look like during adolescence and how parents can use the Enneagram without turning it into another way of labeling or controlling their kids. Ainsley and I talk about why she believes teenagers can benefit from learning the Enneagram, why it should be held loosely, and why parents should never force it on a teenager who isn't interested. We also discuss parenting, curiosity, vulnerability, mental health, relationships, and one of the most important things we can remember about the Enneagram: We are more than our numbers. In this episode: The significance of the Enneagram for teens and its potential to aid in self-discovery. The challenges and joys of being an Enneagram Type 2. Practical advice for parents on introducing the Enneagram to their children without forcing it. The role of mental health awareness in today's youth and how the Enneagram can facilitate important conversations.

UAB is 1-1 after a 26-20 win over ULM, but how much progress did the Blazers really make — and can they carry it on the road to Louisiana? Jimmy, John and Darion break down what stood out from the ULM win before turning the page to Saturday's matchup with the Ragin' Cajuns. The guys discuss UAB's developing rushing identity, the growth of young offensive lineman Donovan Lawrence, Jo Pierce's impact on defense, the second-half adjustments against ULM and the mistakes that still need to be cleaned up. Then it's time to preview Louisiana, led by dual-threat quarterback Lunch Winfield. What problems does his mobility create for UAB? Can the Blazers continue running the football effectively on the road? Does the defense have another adjustment-filled performance in it? And what would a win in Lafayette tell us about where this team is headed? Jimmy also introduces BVPI, Blazer Victory's new performance metric designed to evaluate UAB beyond the final score and track the Blazers' progress throughout the season.

Some things you only have to do once to wreck your marriage. This message names them out loud, and hands you the guardrails so you never do that.In a culture that keeps redrawing the lines on sex, marriage, and conflict, this message goes back to what God actually said, that sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant, that temptation is universal but never an excuse, and that the words you use in a fight can wound deeper than you realize. The question underneath all of it: what do you need to stop doing today to protect the marriage and the people God gave you?Whether your marriage feels strong right now, feels like it's hanging by a thread, or you're single and want to get this right before you ever say "I do", this one is for you.In this message you'll discover:— Why sexual intimacy belongs inside covenant marriage, and why that boundary protects you rather than restricts you— How to run from temptation instead of negotiating with it, and why God always provides a way of escape— Why Jesus goes after the heart and not just the act, and what that means for lust and pornography— The guardrails that keep you out of the room where affairs actually start, and the "never do that" rules that keep a conflict from becoming a wound, including the forgiveness that cancels a debt they could never payKey Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 6:18, 1 Corinthians 10:13, Hebrews 13:4, Matthew 5:27-28, 1 Corinthians 13Support Our Ministry: https://my.flatironschurch.com/give-to-online-campusStay ConnectedWebsite: https://flatironschurch.comFacebook: https://Facebook.com/flatironsInstagram: https://Instagram.com/flatironschurchJim BurgenYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Jim.BurgenFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/jim.burgenInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/jimburgenBring the awesome life of Christ to people in a lost and broken world.

Are there echoes of Book of Mormon & Revolutionary War? When we talk about the relationship between early Mormonism and Native American communities, the conversation usually runs in one direction: how indigenous traditions may have influenced Joseph Smith and the Book of Mormon. But in this segment of our conversation with Dr. Thomas Murphy, author of Unsettling Scripture: Iroquois and the Book of Mormon, we explore something far less discussed — how Haudenosaunee communities weren’t just absorbing outside religious ideas, they were producing scriptural traditions of their own. https://youtu.be/5H7qSRgK5lc At the center of this discussion is the Seneca prophet Handsome Lake, who in the early 1800s developed a body of teachings — now known as the Code of Handsome Lake — blending traditional Haudenosaunee spirituality with elements adapted from the Christian missionaries who were increasingly present in Native communities at the time. Murphy argues that Handsome Lake’s movement deserves to be understood on its own terms: not simply as a reaction to Christianity, but as a genuine act of religious innovation, produced by Native leaders navigating a rapidly changing world. It’s a reminder that the flow of religious ideas during this period wasn’t one-directional, and that Native communities were active shapers of their own spiritual futures, not passive recipients of outside influence. From there, Murphy turns to something that surprises many readers: possible echoes of Onondaga language, geography, or tradition embedded within the Book of Mormon text itself. While these connections remain a matter of scholarly debate, Murphy lays out why he believes they deserve more serious attention than they’ve typically received, especially given the documented presence of Haudenosaunee students and communities in and around the Smith family’s world in upstate New York. Book of Mormon & Revolutionary War The conversation then shifts to a period most listeners will recognize from American history class, but rarely connect to Mormon origins: the Revolutionary War. Murphy highlights the often-overlooked role of the Oneida Nation, one of the few Haudenosaunee nations to formally ally with the American colonists during the war, and explores why this alliance — and its long-term consequences — matters for understanding the world the Smith family grew up in decades later. It’s a piece of history that rarely gets mentioned in conversations about the Book of Mormon’s origins, but Murphy argues it shouldn’t be treated as a footnote. Taken together, this segment challenges listeners to think about the relationship between Native American history and early Mormonism as something more complicated — and more mutual — than a simple story of influence flowing in one direction. Murphy’s research suggests a much richer, messier picture: one where Native nations were simultaneously responding to colonization, encountering Christianity, allying with revolutionary movements, and building their own theological frameworks, all while living in close proximity to the very family that would go on to produce the Book of Mormon. This is part 3 of our 4-part series with Dr. Thomas Murphy. In our previous segments, we covered his background and the controversial DNA research that first made him a controversial figure within LDS scholarship, along with the Dartmouth/Moor’s Charity School connection between the Smith family and Haudenosaunee students. In our next and final segment, Murphy tackles perhaps the biggest question of all: can the Book of Mormon be both fiction and scripture at the same time?

If you’re going to get anywhere in business, you’ll need have some idea of how you’re going to get there. You might call that a strategic plan, maybe a business model. Whatever you call it, it’s basically a map: a sketch of the possible paths from A to B. Maps are pretty useful. The business of making them — cartography — has gotten pretty sophisticated. We’re not using sketchbooks and astronomical positioning like Lewis and Clark. We’ve got satellites, global positioning systems, LIDAR, radar and other digitizable data points to describe the world around us on a map. All of that can now be condensed into layers with rich levels of information. GIS mapping is the standard now. And the way Mike Donlon explains it, in GIS the where meets the what. Mike grew up in Boston loving maps, science and math. He got degrees in mechanical engineering and archaeology, went into telecommunications engineering, and climbed to a senior role before deciding he didn't want to do it for another decade. So in his late twenties he went looking for a growing industry, found cartography, and followed it into GIS — geographic information systems. He started over at entry level. It stuck. Mike joined Lafayette based engineering services company Fenstermaker four years ago and now manages its GIS team, a small group that works across the firm's engineering, surveying and environmental divisions. They fly drones over coulees for Lafayette's drainage work. They map sewer lines and sidewalks. And after a state law required schools to digitize their floor plans, they worked with Lafayette 911 to standardize plans for about seventy schools in a few months — maps first responders can now pull up from their vehicles. His team, Mike says, touches everything. Out to Lunch Acadiana was recorded live over lunch at Gravy in downtown Lafayette. You can find photos from this show by Astor Morgan at itsacadiana.com.

Can we see God? What does the Bible really mean when it says, “No man has seen God at any time”? In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, Isaac Hayes, Anthony Hayes, Hezekiah Hernandez Smith, and Bowen Robin continue their study through 1 John 4, examining what it means that God is love, how believers demonstrate God's love through their lives, and how we can know that God dwells in us through the Holy Spirit. The brothers discuss Moses, Isaiah, Ezekiel, John, and the glory of God, while also looking at John 14:6, the deity of Jesus Christ, salvation through faith in Christ, the finished work of the cross, the baptism of the Holy Spirit, false doctrine, and why Jesus is not merely a good teacher or prophet—He is the Son of God and the only way to the Father. This Bible study is focused on discipleship, Christian growth, biblical truth, the Holy Spirit, salvation, and encouraging believers to keep their faith in Jesus Christ and His finished work at Calvary.Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow us on Facebook also leave us a review If You Like To donate to this podcast you can through cashapp or email us at brothersjustsearchingpodcast@gmail.com for more infoAnything is appreciated Cashapp infoBJSmediaThis podcast is brought to you by BJS MEDIA.

The Marquis de Lafayette came to America at age 19, on his own dime, to earn glory on the battlefield. He quickly became one of the Revolution's greatest believers, and spent the rest of his life admiring the spirit and goals of the American Revolution and the republic it birthed.Author Ryan Cole joins us this week to discuss his book, The Last Adieu, which chronicles Lafayette's tour of America 40 years after the Revolution. Visiting every state, and meeting with surviving veterans and leaders, along with the next generation of prominent Americans, his experience gave him a unique perspective on the country he helped create.Read Ryan's book: https://a.co/d/0fTFmzETHost: Jeff SikkengaExecutive Producer: Jeremy GyptonSubscribe: https://linktr.ee/theamericanideaHomepage: https://ashbrook.org/the-american-idea-podcast/Thank you for being part of The American Idea community.Follow on Twitter https://x.com/amideapodcastFollow on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/ashbrookcenter/

In this episode, James and Audrey examine the Philadelphia Campaign of 1777–78, as British General William Howe captured the American capital but failed to destroy George Washington's army. We follow the campaign through the Battles of Brandywine, Germantown, White Marsh, and Monmouth, while also exploring the dramatic defense of Forts Mifflin and Mercer and the Marquis de Lafayette's daring escape at Barren Hill. Along the way, we discuss the hardships of Valley Forge, the Conway Cabal's failed attempt to undermine Washington, and Baron von Steuben's transformation of the Continental Army into a more disciplined fighting force. Although the British won most of the campaign's major battles, they ultimately abandoned Philadelphia, marking the beginning of a strategic stalemate in the North and a shift in British attention toward the southern colonies.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's the final day of August, Moon is somewhere in parts unknown, Lern is back, and The Rizzuto Show has officially entered BABY WATCH. The baby is now past the due date, predictions are flying around the studio, and Rizz is keeping his ringer on because that phone call could come at any moment. Naturally, while waiting for the miracle of life, the crew spends a significant amount of time celebrating another miracle: Rafe Williams finally has legal license plates.Yes, Rafe went to the DMV. Voluntarily. Sort of.What should have been a routine trip to get his truck squared away became a full-blown battle with Missouri bureaucracy. There's a packed Creve Coeur DMV, a confusing sign-in system, expired temp tags, paperwork, an emissions-test surprise and a ticking clock. At one point Rafe has until 4:30 to get an emissions test completed or face the horrifying possibility of coming back Monday and waiting all over again.That's when a listener at the auto shop recognizes him, gets the Tacoma squeezed in, and sends our hero racing back to the DMV with paperwork held high like he just returned from the Crusades. By the end, Rafe is trying to get the entire waiting room to cheer for the woman who helped him. This is the kind of inspirational story your favorite comedy podcast provides because apparently our standards for heroism have become “successfully registering a motor vehicle.”The DMV adventure also sends the crew into everything from old people trying to navigate touchscreen kiosks to modern cars putting every basic function behind another touchscreen. We have reached the future, and the future apparently requires three menus just to turn down the air conditioning.Then Lern returns from Colorado with stories involving the Grizzly Rose, mechanical bulls, mountain towns, wineries, peaches, e-bikes and some legitimately terrifying drives through the Rockies. Her relaxing family getaway somehow includes bull riding and flying around mountain roads, because nobody associated with this show is capable of having a normal vacation.Rizz has his own driving adventure after the intro to “Money for Nothing” hits at exactly the wrong—or right—time and suddenly he's doing 80 with a police officer behind him. Is getting completely lost in a song a valid speeding defense? Legally, probably don't take our advice. Spiritually? Absolutely.The weekend recaps keep rolling as Rizz gets his first full Friday Night Lights experience watching his daughter cheer at Lafayette, then attends a 40th birthday party extravagant enough to make everyone reconsider their current tax bracket. Meanwhile, Rafe survives Jamie Rivers' bachelor party, gets his first real taste of the Cafe Napoli scene and discovers that former professional hockey players apparently possess a completely different transmission when it comes to staying out late.And because this comedy podcast refuses to remain anywhere near the rails for long, the conversation keeps finding new and increasingly questionable destinations—including St. Louis weird news and the kind of stories that make you reconsider ever accepting a job that requires entering a stranger's home.Baby watch. DMV purgatory. Colorado adventures. Friday night football. St. Louis nightlife. Questionable driving decisions.
