January 2025 updateNow that Amp has ended, a lot of what would've been my podcast energy (before Amp) has started to stack up. I have done shows once in a while on Stationhead, but I really feel like the podcast format is better for me. I will miss being able to play music to go along with my theme , but this format of driving and talking to the phone about my thoughts is very familiar and more comforting. So, welcome back to my personal journal, a.k.a. the Leslea show. Since this app records video, I will also be uploading to YouTube.

ShownotesLast week we talked to Susan Brinkman from Women of Grace about necromancy, mediums and conjuring the dead and as our conversation confirmed God forbids these actions.  Ironically, in today's episode we are going to talk about what the deceased want us to know about heaven and purgatory.  But I promise you we are breaking no rules. As Susan pointed out last week there are disembodied souls waiting for us to pray them into heaven, but we should not try to contact them.  In fact there are many Saints in the church who have had approved visions: Padre Pio, St. Tolentino, St. Gertrude, as well as mystic Maria Simma, whose writings about the souls in purgatory received the imprimatur. Souls who have come from purgatory have sought out the prayers of individuals to gain entrance into heaven. Yet the question remains: What can we learn from these souls? Our GuestsLeslea Wahl lives in beautiful Colorado and is the author of several award-winning teen novels. She strives to write stories that encourage teens to grow in their faith through fun adventurous mysteries. Leslea is often inspired by her family, their travels, and real-life adventures. She particularly enjoys including the furry, four-legged members of her family in her novels. Besides writing Leslea also reviews faith-based novels on her website and is a founding member of CatholicTeenBooks.com.Theresa Linden is the author of award-winning Catholic fiction for children, teens, and adults, including Tortured Soul, a purgatory soul story that won recognition in the Catholic Media Association book awards. One of her great joys is to bring elements of the Catholic Faith to life through a story. A wife, retired homeschooling mom, and Secular Franciscan, she resides in northeast Ohio with her family. Links from the show​Mourning Glory Podcast S3 E7: Talking to Mediums with Susan Brinkmann, OCDS​‘The Incorruptibles': Who Are These Mysterious Saints? ​St. Jerome​Shadows: Visible and Invisible, part of the Catholic Teen Books: Visible & Invisible -Anthology Series available at Catholicteenbooks.com​AllhallowtideScripture Verses​“Greet Mary who has worked for you…” Romans 16:6​“for if he were not expecting the fallen to rise again, it would have been superfluous and foolish to pray for the dead.

If you're passionate about education and supporting underserved communities, you'll love this episode of the Reading with Your Kids podcast. Jed Doherty sits down with Summer Schneider, the head of school at Legacy College Prep, a charter school in the South Bronx that's making a big difference in the lives of its students. Summer shares the inspiring mission of Legacy College Prep - to ensure all students have access to opportunities after high school, whether that's college or other paths like trade schools or the military. She explains the unique autonomy and flexibility that charter schools have, which allows them to tailor their curriculum and approach to best serve their students. One of the biggest challenges facing Legacy College Prep is the high number of students who are performing two or more grade levels behind when they enroll. But Summer and her team are laser-focused on building reading habits and providing extra support to help these students catch up and thrive. Beyond academics, Summer also discusses the importance of rebuilding the partnership between schools and families, especially after the pandemic disrupted in-person interactions. She shares how Legacy College Prep is working to bring parents back into the school community. Jed and Summer also touch on the nationwide teacher shortage and Legacy College Prep's efforts to ensure they're fully staffed and able to provide the best possible education. But the real heart of this episode lies in Legacy College Prep's commitment to college preparation and making higher education accessible and affordable for their students. Summer explains the school's partnerships with universities and their focus on guiding families through the financial aid process.  The episode takes an exciting turn when Jed welcomes back Antony Kolenc and Leslea Wahl, from the Catholic Teen Authors group. They discuss their latest anthology, "Shadows, Visible and Invisible," which explores the Catholic traditions surrounding All Hallows' Eve, All Saints Day, and All Souls Day. Tony and Leslea share the collaborative process of creating these anthologies and the importance of preserving and sharing these rich cultural and faith-based stories with young readers. They encourage listeners to check out the Catholic Teen Books website to discover more inspiring, wholesome books for teens, and to support local independent bookstores by requesting the anthology. It's clear that the Catholic Teen Authors are on a mission to provide teens with literature that nourishes both the mind and the spirit.

His life and career revolve around his church and faith, and now that's all on the line. His wife is still a true believer. He is incredibly isolated and alone, but he’s not the only one. Hundreds, perhaps thousands of clergy are in the same position. Stan is a preacher in the Deep South where the lines of religion and society blur. He lives in a manse, if anyone knew he is an atheist he would be out on the street. Andy hasn't believed for a long time, but only three people in the world know his secret – except for The Clergy Project. Losing Our Religion is a feature length documentary about community, acceptance and a view inside the lives of clergy who are joining the rising tide of non-believers.

Sobre evolución humana se puede hablar largo y tendido, pero en esta ocasión elegimos dos momentos clave. El primero nos lo proporciona Leslea Hlusko, antropóloga de la Universidad de California, Berkeley, quien nos habla sobre cómo las modificaciones en los dientes de nuestros ancestros hace 4 millones de años influyeron en nuestra evolución, y la forma en que los genes pudieron participar en ese cambio. El segundo momento clave nos lo cuenta Linda Manzanilla, arqueóloga de la Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, y tiene que ver con el nacimiento de las ciudades, una transición que marcó a la gran mayoría de las sociedades humanas. Acompáñennos en una historia que nos lleva de un yacimiento de fósiles en Etiopía, al sitio arqueológico de Teotihuacán, pasando por una colonia de cientos de babuinos, laboratorios de anatomía humana, y el antiguo Egipto. ¡Que lo disfruten! --Créditos-- Invitados: Leslea Hlusko Linda Manzanilla Guión: Víctor Hernández Marroquín, Sofía Flores Fuentes, Rodrigo Pacheco Muñoz, Emiliano Rodríguez Mega y Alejandra Ortiz Medrano. Producción: Marcela Montiel Grabación en cabina y edición: Roberto Portillo Edición y diseño de audio: Carolina Durán Estas entrevistas fueron grabadas durante el simposio The Major Transitions in Evolution en marzo de 2015. Agradecemos mucho a Berenice Jiménez y Juan Escalona por las facilidades para las entrevistas y a Tlanex Valdés por la ayuda con el equipo de grabación. Agradecemos al IMER por la realización de este programa.

Leslea Newman has written more than sixty children's books. She says she can't remember a time when she didn't want to be a writer. As a teenager Leslea got her work published in magazines and she also worked as Alan Ginsberg's apprentice. When a friend told her she couldn't find any books for her daughter that portrayed a family like hers, with two lesbian parents, Leslea decided she needed to do something and wrote the children's picture book Heather has two Mommies. When it was published in 1989 it caused outrage "It started getting challenged and banned and I got called all kinds of terrible names". Twenty-five years later the book has been re-released, to a much kinder reception. Candy Gourlay grew up in the Philippines and fell in love with books as a child, but says "all the stories were of these pink-skinned children with fluffy pets", and she came to the conclusion that Filipinos were not "allowed to be in books". So her first novel was set in London with English characters and an agent said "why does your book look like that?", because it had no connection to Candy's experience. Candy took this advice on board and since then has created imaginary worlds with Filipino characters for her young readers. New technology has a role in Candy's work, she says that children have so many things "clamouring for their attention", so you've got to compete and embrace "their world". She does this with her novel Shine, which combines ghosts and the internet. Picture: Leslea Newman (Left) Credit: Mary Vazquez; Candy Gourlay (Right) Credit: Cindy Bajema/Sambat Trust
