Lamentations 3:1–33 (Listen) Great Is Your Faithfulness 3:1   I am the man who has seen affliction    under the rod of his wrath;2   he has driven and brought me    into darkness without any light;3   surely against me he turns his hand    again and again the whole day long. 4   He has made my flesh and my skin waste away;    he has broken my bones;5   he has besieged and enveloped me    with bitterness and tribulation;6   he has made me dwell in darkness    like the dead of long ago. 7   He has walled me about so that I cannot escape;    he has made my chains heavy;8   though I call and cry for help,    he shuts out my prayer;9   he has blocked my ways with blocks of stones;    he has made my paths crooked. 10   He is a bear lying in wait for me,    a lion in hiding;11   he turned aside my steps and tore me to pieces;    he has made me desolate;12   he bent his bow and set me    as a target for his arrow. 13   He drove into my kidneys    the arrows of his quiver;14   I have become the laughingstock of all my people,1    the object of their taunts all day long.15   He has filled me with bitterness;    he has sated me with wormwood. 16   He has made my teeth grind on gravel,    and made me cower in ashes;17   my soul is bereft of peace;    I have forgotten what happiness2 is;18   so I say, “My endurance has perished;    so has my hope from the LORD.” 19   Remember my affliction and my wanderings,    the wormwood and the gall!20   My soul continually remembers it    and is bowed down within me.21   But this I call to mind,    and therefore I have hope: 22   The steadfast love of the LORD never ceases;3    his mercies never come to an end;23   they are new every morning;    great is your faithfulness.24   “The LORD is my portion,” says my soul,    “therefore I will hope in him.”

We're roadtripping through Acadiana--exploring Louisiana's Cajun heartland, where French-Acadian roots, gumbo and bayou rhythms simmer together into one of America's most distinctive cultures.  And as we learn today, Po'boys aren't just lunch. They're like love letters to Louisiana itself. At the Olde Tyme Grocery in Lafayette--where we enjoyed the hands-down very best oyster po'boy I've ever had--Ross Murphree shares his family's story. From purchasing the beloved corner grocery in 1982 to today's over-a-thousand-sandwiches daily rushes during Lent, we explore how a humble sandwich captures the flavors, faith and rhythms of Acadian life. From roast beef drippings to fried crawfish best-sellers, Ross reflects on feeding generations and preserving a culture--one perfect po'boy sandwich at a time.       Visit the Legendary Brands That Make MOJO's Duck Season Somewhere Podcast Possible: MOJO Outdoors  Alberta Professional Outfitters Society Benelli Shotguns Bow and Arrow Outdoors Ducks Unlimited  Flash Back Decoys GetDucks.com Inukshuk Professional Dog Food  Migra Ammunitions onX Maps  Use code GetDucks25 to save 25% Sitka Gear SoundGear Use code GetDucks20 to save 25% Tom Beckbe USHuntList.com   Like what you heard?

On November 12, our church family gathered to hear from Christopher Watkin, author of Biblical Critical Theory. Over the course of the evening, Dr. Watkin helped us rethink one of culture's most persistent questions: Who am I? Drawing on everything from Star Wars to Viktor Frankl to the biblical narrative itself, he showed us why the stories we live in shape us far more than we realize, and why the gospel offers a truer, richer, and more hope-filled story than any we could possibly write for ourselves.ABOUT CHRISTOPHER WATKINChristopher joined us from Melbourne, Australia, where he is a Senior Lecturer in French Studies at Monash University. He is a Fellow of The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics, a leading voice at the intersection of philosophy, theology, and cultural critique, and recently authored Biblical Critical Theory. His writing traces how individuals and societies make sense of the world—especially when confronted with contrasting beliefs and ideas. As a Christian thinker and teacher, Dr. Watkin brings deep intellectual rigor to bear on questions of meaning, culture, and faith in contemporary life.

En 2025, près de 20 000 oliviers ont été arrachés ou brûlés par des colons israéliens en Cisjordanie. Lourd symbole si l'on considère que l'olivier était jadis un symbole de paix.Ces crimes me rappellent les bisons que les colons étatsuniens et leurs sbires ont exterminés pour voler les terres des Amérindiens... et les exterminer aussi. Bien sûr, comparaison n'est pas raison.Mais l'histoire avec un très petit h se répète.Les attaques de colons israéliens contre des agriculteurs palestiniens se multiplient, au moins 150 depuis début octobre. Pendant ce temps, la Knesset (le parlement israélien) étudie une extension de la souveraineté israélienne dans ces territoires occupés. Washington est en colère, ainsi que tous les doux rêveurs qui recherchent la paix et la solution à deux États.___

J'ai eu le plaisir d'accueillir Catherine Koenig, une femme passionnée au parcours hors du commun. Grâce à elle, j'ai pu plonger dans l'univers fascinant de l'équicoaching et de l'équithérapie, des approches qui utilisent les chevaux comme partenaires pour libérer, soigner et accompagner les personnes en profondeur.Nous avons échangé sur la place de la connexion, non seulement entre êtres humains, mais aussi avec les animaux et la nature. Catherine a partagé sa vision, son expérience d'infirmière, sa soif de formation continue dans les soins énergétiques, la réflexologie et bien d'autres outils. Elle nous a expliqué comment les chevaux perçoivent l'invisible, accompagnent la transformation intérieure et reflètent nos émotions, nos peurs ou même nos parts d'ombre.Catherine nous a aussi raconté des anecdotes marquantes, comme celle d'une jeune fille aidée à surmonter sa peur de parler en public grâce aux chevaux, ou l'histoire touchante d'une dame de 93 ans qui a pu dépasser son appréhension.En toute sincérité, cet échange a été pour moi une source d'inspiration et de réflexion profonde sur le pouvoir de la relation, sur l'importance de s'écouter, de s'accepter et d'oser traverser ses peurs pour grandir. J'espère que vous serez aussi touchés que moi par la bienveillance, l'authenticité et la joie communicative de Catherine.Bonne écoute et n'hésitez pas à partager vos impressions ou à nous contacter si cet épisode vous a donné envie d'explorer, vous aussi, l'art de connecter !

Novembra svētku laikā pirktākā patriotiskā prece - piespraude ar karoga lentīti. Iedzīvotāji vairāk pērk arī preces karmīnsarkanos toņos un ar latvju rakstu zīmēm. Novembris Latvijā ir svētku mēnesis – rīt, 11. novembrī, atzīmēsim Lāčplēša dienu, pēc nedēļas - 18. novembri, Latvijas Republikas proklamēšanas dienu. Uzņēmējiem, kas ražo preces ar Latvijas simboliku, gatavošanās šiem svētkiem sākas jau augustā. Piemēram, uzņēmumā “Latvijas tekstils” šogad apdrukāta 100 kilometrus gara lenta valsts karoga krāsās. Lai gan vislielākā interese par precēm ar Latvijas simboliem bija Latvijas simtgadē, katru novembri vairāk pērk gan piespraudes valsts karoga krāsās, gan galdautus un apģērbus ar latviskām spēka zīmēm, šīs preces arī ved kā dāvanas uz ārvalstīm. „Mēs esam viens no tiem uzņēmumiem, kas vairāk strādā tieši ar tautisko, etnogrāfisko mantojumu, cenšamies modernizēt šos rakstus, pielāgot mūsdienu tehnoloģiju prasībām.” Oskars Polmanis ir uzņēmuma „Latvijas tekstils” dibinātājs un vadītājs un ar viņu tiekamies uzņēmuma veikalā Matīsa ielā, kur var apskatīt daļu no 10 000 precēm, ko uzņēmumā ražo. Vaicāju, ko visvairāk pērk novembrī? „Pirktākā lieta pirms 11. un 18. novembra noteikti ir karogu lentas visos iespējamos izmēros, platumos un tā tālāk, bet, protams, ka top prece ir mazās karoga piespraudītes. Karogi, nu, tā jau arī ir jūsu specifika? Jā, tieši šogad lielie karogi tiek ražoti kultūras namiem, lieliem mastiem, dekorācijām uz ielām un tamlīdzīgi. Ja kādreiz bija populāri, ka pirka šos rokās turamos karodziņus uz parādēm lai ietu, tad šobrīd tā līkne ir mazinājusies.” Uzņēmums „Latvijas tekstils” pastāv 15 gadus un tajā strādā 10 darbinieki. Nākotnes plāni saistīti ar darbības paplašināšanu Igaunijā, vēlāk Skandināvijas valstīs. Lai gan uzņēmuma nosaukumā ir vārds „tekstils”, uzņēmumā neražo audumus, bet izmanto digitālo druku un tikko par 15 000 iegādāta DTF tehnoloģija, kas ļaus apdrukāt arī apģērbus.

Jeremiah 24:4–7 (Listen) 4 Then the word of the LORD came to me: 5 “Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel: Like these good figs, so I will regard as good the exiles from Judah, whom I have sent away from this place to the land of the Chaldeans. 6 I will set my eyes on them for good, and I will bring them back to this land. I will build them up, and not tear them down; I will plant them, and not pluck them up. 7 I will give them a heart to know me, that I am the LORD, and they shall be my people and I will be their God, for they shall return to me with their whole heart. (ESV)Jeremiah 29:1–14 (Listen) Jeremiah's Letter to the Exiles 29:1 These are the words of the letter that Jeremiah the prophet sent from Jerusalem to the surviving elders of the exiles, and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people, whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. 2 This was after King Jeconiah and the queen mother, the eunuchs, the officials of Judah and Jerusalem, the craftsmen, and the metal workers had departed from Jerusalem. 3 The letter was sent by the hand of Elasah the son of Shaphan and Gemariah the son of Hilkiah, whom Zedekiah king of Judah sent to Babylon to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon. It said: 4 “Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, to all the exiles whom I have sent into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon: 5 Build houses and live in them; plant gardens and eat their produce. 6 Take wives and have sons and daughters; take wives for your sons, and give your daughters in marriage, that they may bear sons and daughters; multiply there, and do not decrease. 7 But seek the welfare of the city where I have sent you into exile, and pray to the LORD on its behalf, for in its welfare you will find your welfare. 8 For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel: Do not let your prophets and your diviners who are among you deceive you, and do not listen to the dreams that they dream,1 9 for it is a lie that they are prophesying to you in my name; I did not send them, declares the LORD. 10 “For thus says the LORD: When seventy years are completed for Babylon, I will visit you, and I will fulfill to you my promise and bring you back to this place. 11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare2 and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. 12 Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will hear you. 13 You will seek me and find me, when you seek me with all your heart. 14 I will be found by you, declares the LORD, and I will restore your fortunes and gather you from all the nations and all the places where I have driven you, declares the LORD, and I will bring you back to the place from which I sent you into exile.

ShownotesTalking about grief brings mixed emotions. Some avoid it whereas others fully embrace it. Our guest this week is a strong believer that pain needs to be witnessed, that vulnerability is essential to being loved and loving another, and that the only way to deal with pain (and consequently grief) is to immerse oneself in the trenches of it.Carina Fraser is a Catholic widow, mother, artist, and author. At 28 years old she lost five children in miscarriages, as well as her husband in a ten month span. Her grief prompted her to start an Instagram page called @thatCatholicwidow, which she uses as a way to work through much of her loss and give words to thoughts and feelings that can often be ignored. Now two years later Carina continues to use her faith and her grief to bring beauty and comfort to those around her. She has one surviving son.Our GuestCarina Fraser is a Catholic mother, artist, and author. She was born in Toronto, Ontario and received her post-secondary education at Our Lady Seat of Wisdom Academy in Barry's Bay, ON.

Why do some find it a place of consolation where as others may stay clear?How can social media be used to help others connect in grief? Who has been someone that has been a surprising comfort to you in your grief journey? How can you show your appreciation for them? What do you consider the time that grief “should be over?” How is Carina's story an example that anger with God does not mean abandonment? We hope you enjoy this episode of the Mourning Glory Podcast and share it with others who are on a journey through grief.

Episode 270 - Franciscan Lent After a season of Jubilee rest, the friars return with fresh hearts and a new invitation: to enter the "Franciscan Lent", a hidden season of simplicity, detachment, and joyful expectation. Drawing from the life of St. Francis and the Beatitudes, they explore what it really means to become small, to depend completely on God, and to let Him provide what we cannot. This episode isn't about doing more, it's about letting go, trusting deeply, and rediscovering the joy that comes from poverty of spirit.

Jeremiah 6:10–17 (Listen) 10   To whom shall I speak and give warning,    that they may hear?  Behold, their ears are uncircumcised,    they cannot listen;  behold, the word of the LORD is to them an object of scorn;    they take no pleasure in it.11   Therefore I am full of the wrath of the LORD;    I am weary of holding it in.  “Pour it out upon the children in the street,    and upon the gatherings of young men, also;  both husband and wife shall be taken,    the elderly and the very aged.12   Their houses shall be turned over to others,    their fields and wives together,  for I will stretch out my hand    against the inhabitants of the land,”      declares the LORD.13   “For from the least to the greatest of them,    everyone is greedy for unjust gain;  and from prophet to priest,    everyone deals falsely.14   They have healed the wound of my people lightly,    saying, ‘Peace, peace,'    when there is no peace.15   Were they ashamed when they committed abomination?    No, they were not at all ashamed;    they did not know how to blush.  Therefore they shall fall among those who fall;    at the time that I punish them, they shall be overthrown,”      says the LORD. 16   Thus says the LORD:  “Stand by the roads, and look,    and ask for the ancient paths,  where the good way is; and walk in it,    and find rest for your souls.  But they said, ‘We will not walk in it.'17   I set watchmen over you, saying,    ‘Pay attention to the sound of the trumpet!'  But they said, ‘We will not pay attention.'

Jeremiah 1 (Listen) 1:1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, and until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month. The Call of Jeremiah 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5   “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,  and before you were born I consecrated you;  I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me,   “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth';  for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,  and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8   Do not be afraid of them,  for I am with you to deliver you,      declares the LORD.” 9 Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me,   “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.10   See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,  to pluck up and to break down,  to destroy and to overthrow,  to build and to plant.” 11 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond1 branch.” 12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” 13 The word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” 14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north disaster2 shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the LORD, and they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah. 16 And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17 But you, dress yourself for work;3 arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. 18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.” Footnotes [1] 1:11 Almond sounds like the Hebrew for watching (compare verse 12) [2] 1:14 The Hebrew word can mean evil, harm, or disaster, depending on the context; so throughout Jeremiah [3] 1:17 Hebrew gird up your loins (ESV)

Jeremiah 1 (Listen) 1:1 The words of Jeremiah, the son of Hilkiah, one of the priests who were in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin, 2 to whom the word of the LORD came in the days of Josiah the son of Amon, king of Judah, in the thirteenth year of his reign. 3 It came also in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, and until the end of the eleventh year of Zedekiah, the son of Josiah, king of Judah, until the captivity of Jerusalem in the fifth month. The Call of Jeremiah 4 Now the word of the LORD came to me, saying, 5   “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you,  and before you were born I consecrated you;  I appointed you a prophet to the nations.” 6 Then I said, “Ah, Lord GOD! Behold, I do not know how to speak, for I am only a youth.” 7 But the LORD said to me,   “Do not say, ‘I am only a youth';  for to all to whom I send you, you shall go,  and whatever I command you, you shall speak.8   Do not be afraid of them,  for I am with you to deliver you,      declares the LORD.” 9 Then the LORD put out his hand and touched my mouth. And the LORD said to me,   “Behold, I have put my words in your mouth.10   See, I have set you this day over nations and over kingdoms,  to pluck up and to break down,  to destroy and to overthrow,  to build and to plant.” 11 And the word of the LORD came to me, saying, “Jeremiah, what do you see?” And I said, “I see an almond1 branch.” 12 Then the LORD said to me, “You have seen well, for I am watching over my word to perform it.” 13 The word of the LORD came to me a second time, saying, “What do you see?” And I said, “I see a boiling pot, facing away from the north.” 14 Then the LORD said to me, “Out of the north disaster2 shall be let loose upon all the inhabitants of the land. 15 For behold, I am calling all the tribes of the kingdoms of the north, declares the LORD, and they shall come, and every one shall set his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, against all its walls all around and against all the cities of Judah. 16 And I will declare my judgments against them, for all their evil in forsaking me. They have made offerings to other gods and worshiped the works of their own hands. 17 But you, dress yourself for work;3 arise, and say to them everything that I command you. Do not be dismayed by them, lest I dismay you before them. 18 And I, behold, I make you this day a fortified city, an iron pillar, and bronze walls, against the whole land, against the kings of Judah, its officials, its priests, and the people of the land. 19 They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the LORD, to deliver you.” Footnotes [1] 1:11 Almond sounds like the Hebrew for watching (compare verse 12) [2] 1:14 The Hebrew word can mean evil, harm, or disaster, depending on the context; so throughout Jeremiah [3] 1:17 Hebrew gird up your loins (ESV)
