Podcasts about Lakeview

We were off last week, Tim took a trip up to Jacksonville, Frank hit Disney, and Andrew apparently got “caught” visiting someone in a nursing home. Frank preached at Lakeview this Sunday and is somehow taking half the church with him to plant Cross & Crown. It's not a split, it's a strategic expansion. It's Episode 306 of The Morning After Ministry Show, where we unpack Sundays, laugh at Mondays, and try to remember what day it actually is.

Michigan's "busy season" at collision centers across the state is fall and winter, for certain. More deer are on the move, followed by slippery road conditions at times. Brian Eberhard, who oversees operations at Lakeview Ford Collision Center - located at Lakeview Ford Lincoln, Dickman Road and Washington Street in downtown Battle Creek - has some advice and insight for motorists who may end up needing body repairs on their vehicles.Episode ResourcesLakeview Ford Collision CenterABOUT COMMUNITY MATTERSFormer WBCK Morning Show host Richard Piet (2014-2017) returns to host Community Matters, an interview program focused on community leaders and newsmakers in and around Battle Creek.

(Oct 2, 2025) It can be tricky to earn a living while running a seasonal tourism business. A Schroon Lake couple is trying to make it work to be in a place they love; a "tree rodeo" is being held in New York, perhaps for the first time, and it's happening here in the North Country; as the fall colors are hitting their peak, we take a walk along the Bloomingdale Bog trail in the Adirondacks; we preview the adventurous fall lineup at Lake Flower Landing in Saranac Lake.

Well, the cops showed up. Not because of Frank's two-week fundraising road trip, though that could've been a possibility. Not because Andrew said something odd from the pulpit (though, again, possible). No, this week we're navigating Florida's brand-new open carry law as churches, and it turns out that sometimes ministry intersects with law enforcement in ways you don't expect.Frank is back from his whirlwind tour raising money and telling stories across the country, Andrew got one of the strangest compliments a congregant has ever given him, and Tim had business as usual over at Lakeview.It's the Morning After Ministry Show—where Sunday is only half the story.

Earlier this month, Brett Hollins embarked on a road trip to Oregon from his parents’ home in San Antonio. He didn’t come to experience the high desert splendor of Central Oregon or to snap selfies at Multnomah Falls. He came to present workshops and play basketball with inmates at six prisons across the state, including Snake River Correctional Institution in Ontario and Warner Creek Correctional Facility in Lakeview, both of which he once served time in.    In 2017, Hollins was sentenced to nearly six years in prison after pleading guilty to stabbing two men during a brawl that broke out during a party he and his friends attended near the campus of Southern Oregon University in Ashland. In 2021, then-Gov. Kate Brown commuted his sentence after he had served nearly four years of his six-year sentence.   The Oregonian/OregonLive sports writer Bill Oram has extensively profiled Hollins’ amazing journey of rehabilitation, including his decision to return to Ashland to play college basketball at Southern Oregon University, where he graduated last June and served as a team captain. More recently, Oram wrote about Hollins’ return to Snake River to play basketball and inspire adults in custody with workshops he developed through his new nonprofit, The Side Door Foundation. Hollins joins us, along with Michael Reese, director of the Oregon Department of Corrections, to share their perspectives on rehabilitation and the obstacles to it inside and outside of prison.

What happens when Lakeview schedules a night of worship during the most anticipated football game of the early season? Let's just say there was more prayer than passing yards. Meanwhile, Andrew took a post-church field trip straight to the hospital last Sunday. Still no idea what's wrong with him, but the doctors are ruling out “too many donuts at fellowship hour.”Our churches handled the events of this past week a little diferently from each other. Ministry is never boring, and we've got the stories to prove it.

Hurricane Katrina was more than just a storm — it was a turning point in American history. Striking the Gulf Coast in August 2005, Katrina killed nearly 1,800 people and displaced over 1.5 million, making it one of the deadliest and most destructive disasters the United States has ever faced. But what made Katrina so devastating wasn't only the wind and rain. It was the collapse of levees, the failure of infrastructure, and the inability of government systems to respond quickly and effectively. Entire neighborhoods were washed away, and families were scattered across the country.New Orleans became the face of this tragedy, with 80% of the city underwater. The Lower Ninth Ward, home to generations of Black working-class families, suffered almost total destruction. Yet, nearly two decades later, large parts of the Lower Ninth remain scarred by blight, vacant lots, and slow rebuilding. The uneven recovery revealed deep racial and economic inequalities. Wealthier neighborhoods like Lakeview and Uptown rebuilt quickly, while the poorest communities struggled to return.Katrina also reshaped the population of New Orleans. The city's demographics shifted permanently as many displaced residents never came back. Recovery programs like “The Road Home” often failed renters and multi-generational families, leaving thousands without the resources to rebuild.At the same time, Katrina forced America to confront hard questions about disaster preparedness. Billions were eventually invested in rebuilding New Orleans' levees and flood protection systems. Today, the city has one of the most advanced storm defense systems in the country, but the memory of 2005 serves as a warning. With climate change bringing stronger storms and rising seas, the lessons of Katrina remain urgent.This discussion will explore what Katrina taught us about housing, infrastructure, and justice. We will look at how the disaster unfolded, why the Lower Ninth Ward has never fully recovered, and what the future holds for New Orleans. More than just a history lesson, this is a story of resilience, inequality, and the continuing fight to build a safer, fairer city for all.#HurricaneKatrina #NewOrleans #LowerNinthWard #KatrinaRecovery #DisasterResponse #ClimateResilience #USHistory #DisasterPreparedness #InfrastructureFailure #LeveeFailure #FEMA #RoadHome #HousingJustice #UrbanPlanning #EnvironmentalJustice #AmericanHistory #KatrinaSurvivors #BlackHistory #SystemicInequality #ResilientCities #FloodProtection #ClimateChange #CommunityRecovery #DisasterInequality #KatrinaAnniversary #NewOrleansStrong #RebuildNOLA #GulfCoast #SocialJustice #LetsTalkNetwork

It was a wild week in ministry life! Andrew recapped Safety Harbor's Back to School Pool Party—because nothing says “fall kickoff” like sunscreen and cannonballs. Over at Lakeview, Frank somehow worked “man nipples” into his sermon (yep, you read that right) and also got the unique experience of playing campus pastor for the day.We laughed, we cringed, and we reminded ourselves that God's grace really does cover all things… even questionable sermon illustrations.Join us for another round of post-Sunday reflections, ministry mishaps, and the encouragement we all need on a Monday morning.

This week on the Morning After Ministry Show, Lakeview is knee-deep in their Misquoted Passages series, unpacking verses we've all heard taken out of context. Over at Safety Harbor, we're two weeks into our fall series that will carry us all the way to Advent. We're also in the thick of new members classes, mapping out some big events on the calendar, and feeling the full weight (and excitement) of back-to-school season. Ministry never slows down, but at least we can laugh, learn, and swap stories over coffee together.

Dregs One is a lot of things, including a podcast host. In this episode, meet and get to know this prolific AF graffiti writer, hip-hop artist, and Bay historian. Dregs starts us off with the story of his parents. His paternal grandmother was abandoned as a child. Her mother, a Black woman, was raped by a white doctor. She moved to Chicago, where she met Dregs' grandfather, who was from Jamaica and, as Dregs puts, was a player. He, too, left the family, abandoning his grandmother after his dad was born. She tried ways of getting help to raise her son (Dregs' dad, who was 13), but ended up dropping him at an orphanage. Dregs' dad experienced racism in the Catholic orphanage in Chicago where he spent his teen years. Education helped him emerge from that darkness, though. He eventually became a police officer in Chicago, but left that job after experiencing more racism and rampant corruption. After that, his dad went on a spiritual quest that landed him in San Francisco. His parents met in The City, in fact, but we need to share Dregs' mom story. Her family was from Massachusetts. Her dad got into trouble when he was young, but managed to become a chemist. He helped develop the chemical process that went into Polaroid film, in fact. He later served in the Korean War before becoming an anti-war activist. He hosted the Boston Black Panthers in his home, in fact. His mom mostly rejected her white culture, owing to many things, including alcoholism. She hung out with Black folks and listened to Black music. She'd be one of or the only white folks in these circles. She went on her own spiritual journey that also ended up here. It was the Eighties in San Francisco when his parents met. Dregs is their only child, though he has some step-siblings through his dad. He says that despite his parents' turbulent relationship, they provided a nice environment for him to grow up in. Because both parents worked, and because he was effectively an only child, Dregs spent a lot of time alone when he was young. His dad got a master's degree and started counseling AIDS patients in The Castro. His mom worked a pediatric intensive care nurse. Though Dregs and I were both young at the time, we go on a sidebar to talk about how devastating the AIDS epidemic must've been. Dregs was born in the late-Eighties and did most of his growing up in the Nineties and 2000s in the Lakeview. Make no mistake, he says—it was the hood. Although he lived on “the best block of the worst street,” he saw a lot as a kid. His mom often got him out of their neighborhood, boarding the nearby M train to go downtown or to Golden Gate Park. His dad wasn't around a lot, so Dregs spent a lot of time hanging out with his mom. They went to The Mission, Chinatown, The Sunset, all over, really. Around fifth grade or so, when he started riding Muni solo, Dregs also got into comic books. He read a lot. He drew a lot. He played a little bit of sports, mostly pick-up basketball. As a born-and-raised San Franciscan, Dregs rattles off the schools he went to—Jose Ortega, Lakeshore Elementary, A.P. Giannini, and Lincoln. But when Dregs got into some trouble in high school, he was taken out and put back in. It was a turbulent period. He eventually graduated from International Studies Academy (ISA) in Potrero Hill. One of the adults' issues with young Dregs was his graffiti writing. For him, it was a natural extension of drawing. He remembered specific graffiti from roll-downs on Market Street he spotted when he was young. He says he was always attracted to the SF underworld. “It was everywhere you went.” Going back to those Muni trips around town with his mom, he'd look out the windows when they went through the tunnels and see all the graffiti, good art, stuff that he later learned that made SF graffiti well-regarded worldwide. While at A.P. Giannini, a friend of his was a tagger. In ninth grade, Dregs broke his fingers and had a cast. One friend tagged his cast, and it dawned on Dregs—he, too, could have a tag. After his first tagging adventure, Dregs ended up at his friend's house. The guy had two Technics turntables. He was in ninth grade, but his friend was already DJing. Among the music in his buddy's rotation was some local artists. “Whoa, this is San Francisco?” young Dregs asked. His mind was blown and his world was opening up. Check back next week for Part 2 with Dregs One. And look for a bonus episode on the San Francisco Art Book Fair later this week. We recorded this podcast in the Inner Richmond in June 2025.

This week, Features contributor Sophia Ramirez speaks with K.O. Weakley aka TYGKO and Cam Stacey, co-owners and co-founders of DIY music venue, Bookclub in Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood. They discuss their DIY roots and the journey to go legit, the built in community-based ethos in the former Elbo Room space, and K.O.'s music project, TYGKO. "I also love that we are talking about it as an evolution because I do literally refer to OG Book Club as Charmander and legit Book Club as Charmeleon for the Pokemon fans. What's the Charizard version? You'll have to wait and see." - Cam Stacey Produced by Sophia Ramirez. Photo Credit: Bookclub

Charles Leto, a 55 year old lifeguard from Lakeview who worked at Douglass Park pool, allegedly shot two teens on Thursday evening, killing Marjay Dotson, 15 and critically wounding Jeremy Herred, 14. Reset gets the latest in this case with WBEZ investigative reporter Dan Mihalopoulos. For a full archive of Reset interviews, head over to wbez.org/reset.

In this episode, Joi Cuartero Austin is joined once again by Erik Reader for a lively and insightful conversation around the concept of Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper (LQC) — a placemaking approach that emphasizes small-scale, low-cost, and fast-to-implement strategies for revitalizing public spaces and neighborhood districts. Originally popularized by the nonprofit Project for Public Spaces in the early 2000s, LQC continues to shape how communities reimagine their built environments — even today. We dig into real-world examples, lessons learned, and how communities are using this flexible framework to create a stronger sense of place, community, ownership, and vitality. Topics Covered: What “Lighter, Quicker, Cheaper” means and where it came from How cities like Dallas, Richmond, Chicago, and Peoria are embracing DIY placemaking Examples of LQC success: from Better Block projects to guerrilla wayfinding Creative community engagement: pop-up shops, vacant lot activations, and DIY downtowns The power of “just trying something” and giving communities permission to act Metrics and outcomes: How small tests can lead to permanent change How LQC invites broader participation and fosters local pride What we'd personally love to try next in our own communities! Mentioned Projects and Ideas: Better Block Dallas – transforming a corridor with temporary interventions Chicago's Lakeview neighborhood – intersection redesign with chalk paint and bollards Walk Raleigh – unsanctioned wayfinding signs showing walk times to local spots Peoria “Ideas to Action” – pop-up engagement leading to funded community-led projects Parklets and outdoor seating – how losing a few parking spots can spark placemaking Takeaways: You don't need a million-dollar budget to make a meaningful impact. LQC gives communities permission to test ideas and rethink how they use space. Starting small can unlock new energy, increase public trust, and attract long-term investment. These quick wins can be a gateway to bigger, bolder revitalization strategies.

A lot of magic can be made with nothing more than flour, sugar, and, of course, butter! On this week's show, we explore the magic that some folks are achieving with just that combination. First, we hear from Juliana Fernandes and Juliana Freire, the dynamic duo behind one of New Orleans' newest eateries, Juliana's Brazilian Bakery and Café. Playfully decorated in pastel pinks and greens, the cozy Lakeview neighborhood café features a pastry case brimming with beautiful cakes and Brazilian bonbons known as brigadeiros. The kitchen also offers a breakfast and lunch menu, including the Brazilian national beans and rice dish, feijoada. The two Julianas tell us all how their little Brazilian outpost came to be. Next, we chat with the affable Ralph the Baker, a local cook who has become an international social media sensation. He explains how he has built his online presence to include millions of followers and why he's the baker who almost never bakes. Finally, we learn about the little bakery that king cake built. Only a few years after Martha Gilreath achieved fame for her Nolita king cakes, she has opened up a brick-and-mortar bakery in New Orleans – selling items like bialys, boudin danish, and something called "cros'saints." We stop by her warm, sunny space, located just a few blocks from Bayou St. John in Mid-City. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

The kitchen also offers a breakfast and lunch menu, including the Brazilian national beans and rice dish, feijoada. The two Julianas tell us all how their little Brazilian outpost came to be. Next, we chat with the affable Ralph the Baker, a local cook who has become an international social media sensation. He explains how he has built his online presence to include millions of followers and why he's the baker who almost never bakes. Finally, we learn about the little bakery that king cake built. Only a few years after Martha Gilreath achieved fame for her Nolita king cakes, she has opened up a brick-and-mortar bakery in New Orleans – selling items like bialys, boudin danish, and something called "cros'saints." We stop by her warm, sunny space, located just a few blocks from Bayou St. John in Mid-City. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

It's episode 290, and ministry life is keeping us scattered but still talking. Tim and Andrew caught up at a flag football game and watched Tim's son dominate. Immediately after church, Andrew headed off to chaperone a week-long field trip in the Blue Ridge Mountains. Frank's off speaking at an event in West Virginia, and Tim had to return to the regular schedule at Lakeview. We're gearing up for Easter Sunday, and reminding ourselves that the work (and the coffee) never stops.

It's just your boys Andrew Larsen and Frank Gil today, and oh boy, there's a lot to unpack from an emotional, exciting Sunday! Lakeview's Baptism Sunday brought the celebration vibes! Tim brought the Word, preaching on spiritual gifts... and in true Morning After fashion, Frank somehow got thrown under the theological bus and labeled a cessationist. (Spoiler alert: he took it like a champ. Mostly.) Meanwhile over at Safety Harbor, it was a bittersweet morning. Andrew and the church family had to say goodbye to a beloved couple who have been a pillar of ministry and community life for years. Lots of hugs. Maybe even a manly tear or two.

In our last episode, Curious City question-asker Emily Porter sent us on a quest exploring the world of local fashion designers, all after she found a thrift shop sweater with a tag that reads: “Maria Rodriguez Chicago.” Who is Maria Rodriguez? How did she get into the industry? And what is it like to be a fashion designer in Chicago? To answer those questions, we take a trip to the basement of the Chicago History Museum, where collection manager Jessica Pushor has archived several Maria Rodriguez ensembles and a case file of news clippings, photos and look books. We also stopped by El Nuevo Mexicano, a Mexican restaurant in Lakeview that Rodriguez now owns and operates, to get the story from the fashion designer herself.

Yesterday was a glorious day for Lakeview complete with bounce houses, food, and only one service! Safety Harbor shared their space with another church and you'd never even know they were here. Andrew had a wardrobe malfunction minutes before his sermon began. Tim is convinced that preaching one service is cheating. We are three weeks out from Easter…and not even close to ready.

Tim didn't even bother showing up to church, which gave Frank the freedom to openly mock him during his sermon. Andrew wrapped up his 8 week series in Numbers. Lakeview is prepping for a giant anniversary service. Safety Harbor is starting to gear up for Easter. Andrew played plumber, Frank went to church planter summer camp, Tim sat in a hot tub.
