In this episode of Continuing the Conversation, Craig and Colin wrap up the Unshakable series with a raw and real conversation about the internal patterns that shape our faith and future. It's not always the storm outside that shakes us—sometimes it's what's going on inside. Learn how "pressure reveals patterns," how to invite accountability, and how to practically "name it and tame it" when stress pushes your buttons. We'll talk about Moses' doubts, leadership stress, and the spiritual danger of ignoring your own heart. This is a down-to-earth, biblically grounded conversation for men who want to become more self-aware, resilient, and spiritually grounded.  Like, share, and comment if this episode hit home.

Ever feel like your heart is in a constant tug-of-war between what you want and what God wants? In this week's Bible study, we dive into James 3 and 4 to explore the difference between worldly wisdom and godly wisdom. Submitting to God and purifying our hearts can feel counter-cultural, but it is by this that the Fruits of the Spirit can grow. Through relatable stories, honest questions, and biblical insight, we're reminded that peace doesn't come from more control—it comes from surrender. Let's talk about what it really means to draw near to God and leave the judging and law-making to Him.=============================Reflection Questions:=============================✅ Where in your life are you holding onto control instead of surrendering to God?✅ How have you seen worldly wisdom show up in your decision-making lately?✅ What internal desires are driving external conflict in your relationships right now?✅ When you pray, are you seeking God's will—or your own?✅ How can you intentionally draw near to God this week, trusting that He's already near to you?=============================The Study of James:A Product of Anchor + WavesChannel Credits=============================

Are your words building people up—or burning them down? Whether a wild flame or a smoldering ember, our words have more impact and better reflect the state of our hearts than we might think. In this episode of our study through James, we delve into Chapter 3 and explore why our speech is a powerful reflection of our spiritual maturity. Host Kim Fearing shares honest insights about the struggle to tame our tongues, what the Bible really says about the weight of our words, and how to speak from faith and grace instead of destruction. Whether you're dealing with conflict, parenting tensions, or just trying to bite your tongue in everyday life, this episode will challenge and encourage you to grow in Christ-like wisdom. To lean into the Holy Spirit.=============================Reflection Questions:=============================✅ In what situations do you find it hardest to pause before speaking?✅ When have you seen your words either build someone up—or (intentionally or not) tear them down?✅ How does your current speech reflect the maturity of your faith?✅ Do you find it easier to speak life to others—or to yourself?✅ What's one area of your speech (tone, truth, timing, etc.) that God may be inviting you to surrender and grow in?=============================The Study of James:A Product of Anchor + WavesChannel Credits=============================

Over the course of this conversation, we dive into the journey and leadership philosophy of Pieter Van Ry, who leads both South Platte Renew and the City of Englewood's water utility. Pieter shares how he transitioned from a consultant in stormwater management to a dual-role leader overseeing drinking water and wastewater services for over 300,000 people. His story is one of transformation—both personal and organizational.We explore how he manages the two distinct utilities, which are legally and operationally separate. South Platte Renew serves a regional area through a joint venture between Englewood and Littleton, while the Englewood utility is more localized. Pieter splits his time equally between the two, relying on strong deputy leadership to maintain continuity and operational excellence.One of the main challenges both entities faced was decades of underinvestment. Pieter focused early on building long-term financial models and sustainable funding mechanisms. He emphasizes transparency with policymakers, using clear data to show the long-term consequences of decisions. His team successfully leveraged federal funding like WIFIA and the Drinking Water Revolving Fund to modernize infrastructure while raising rates carefully and with community backing—even during COVID.On the drinking water side, the transformation has been more severe. The utility was decades behind in staffing, technology, and systems. Simple operations like backwashes were still being done with stopwatches. Today, that same utility is removing all 3,000 of its lead service lines and has increased staff by 40%.Leadership is a central theme. Pieter believes in fostering an environment where people love coming to work. That mindset ties directly into performance, innovation, and long-term success. He embraces delegation, transparency, and accountability as leadership cornerstones and promotes a culture that allows for calculated risks and learning through failure.A key outcome of this leadership approach is the development of PARC (Pilot and Research Center), an open innovation platform designed to plug researchers, universities, and technology companies directly into the treatment process. The idea is to invest early in flexible infrastructure—across liquid, solids, and gas systems—so external innovators can rapidly pilot their solutions. PARC enables Pieter's team to stay ahead of looming regulations and drive customer value through smarter, cheaper, and more sustainable treatment technologies.As we wrap up, Pieter reflects on his legacy. He wants his departure to be a “blip”—a sign that he's built resilient systems, not just personal authority. And on public trust, he's clear: acknowledge mistakes, transparently share progress, and always circle back to communicate results. Trust, like infrastructure, is built over time—and it's earned through action.City of Englewood Utilities: https://www.englewoodco.gov/government/city-departments/utilitiesSouth Platte Renew: https://southplatterenewco.gov/ Aquasight Website: https://aquasight.io/

A big fight over housing density has been brewing in Littleton for years, and with voters set to decide the fate of Mayor Kyle Schlachter's “missing middle” housing reforms early next month, the debate is getting nasty! A rival mayoral candidate, Patrick Driscoll, was recently caught on a Ring camera swiping Schlachter's campaign materials. So, what's got Littleton so heated? We're revisiting a conversation host Bree Davies had with Mayor Schlachter earlier this year about where this push for density in Denver's south suburbs came from and why some of his constituents are so upset.  Housing density is certainly a major issue in Littleton's mayoral election, but it's specifically at issue in Ballot Question 3A. If that passes, the city charter would lock in historic zoning rules. That question was placed on the ballot by a citizen-led group called Rooted in Littleton, which Mayor Schlachter discusses in this episode at length.  This episode originally aired on June 25, 2025.  What do you think about the housing fight in Littleton?

I introduce TRP backstory in this episode by beginning a fair use and a transformative reading of a book I encountered in high screwel at Chatfield High Screwel in Jefferson County, Littleton, Colorado in 1991. I wrote an article about it in my high screwel newspaper, the Chatfield Charter. This is a first in a series of TRP backstory episodes on The Republican Professor podcast. I believe I originally used my paper route money to buy the book myself at Summit Ministries in Summer 1991 in Manitou Springs, Colorado. Thanks to my Grandpa Mather for sending me those 4 years. The book is "Illiberal Education: The Politics of Race and Sex on Campus" (NY, New York: Free Press, 1991) by a very young Dinesh D'Souza. We want to encourage you to buy the book either used or new. Throw some money at the publisher for the book to reward them for publishing good books. Follow D'Souza on social media and check out his films as well as his books. Get the book and follow along. We want to thank Free Press for making this material available and thank D'Souza for writing it. Thank you, Dinesh. This episode includes a reading of Psalms 42 and 43 (KJV) as well as the January 12th selection from Streams in the Desert (Cowman, Los Feliz Lost Angeles, 1925). Warmly, Lucas J.

Why did Jesus sometimes say things that seem puzzling—or even contradictory—at first glance? In this episode, Dr. Edward Sri joins Jessica to unpack some of the most misunderstood sayings of Jesus in Scripture. Together, we explore the deeper meaning behind His words and actions, revealing the wisdom, mercy, and divine intention that underlie them.In this episode, Dr. Sri explains:John 8:6–8 – The Woman Caught in Adultery: Why did Jesus bend down to write in the dirt—and what might He have written?Matthew 5:39 – Turning the Other Cheek: Does Jesus really mean we should never defend ourselves? How do we understand this teaching without confusing it with passivity or enabling abuse?Luke 22:36–38 and 22:49–51 – The Command to Buy a Sword: Why did Jesus first tell the disciples to arm themselves, then forbid them to use the sword? What was He really teaching about spiritual readiness and His mission?John 20:17 – The Risen Jesus and Mary Magdalene: Why did Jesus tell Mary not to hold on to Him after the Resurrection? What does this moment reveal about the Ascension and our relationship with Christ today?Mark 10:18 – “Why Do You Call Me Good?” If Jesus is God and good, why does He ask this question? What truth is He leading the rich young man—and us—to see? Dr. Sri helps us see how each passage points us to the heart of Jesus: His divinity, His mercy, and His call to deeper discipleship. Dr. Edward Sri is a theologian, author, speaker, and FOCUS' Sr. Vice President of Apostolic Outreach. Dr. Sri has written several best-selling books and is also the presenter of several Ascension Press and Augustine Institute faith formation film series. He hosts the acclaimed podcast, "All Things Catholic" and is an adjunct professor at the Augustine Institute. He and his wife Beth reside in Littleton, Colorado. They are blessed with 8 children and one grandchild.

We'll unpack the danger of self-deception, the freedom found in true humility, and why transformation doesn't begin with perfection—but with repentance.If you've ever wrestled with anger, struggled to slow down and listen, or wondered how to really apply Scripture to your life—this episode is for you. Let's be women who don't just glance in the mirror, but let God's Word change us from the inside out.=============================Reflection Questions:=============================✅ When was the last time you truly listened—without trying to fix, respond, or rush?✅ What's one step you can take this week to do God's Word, not just hear it?✅ How does anger affect your ability to live out your faith with others?==========================The Study of James:A Product of Anchor + WavesChannel Credits=============================

As this episode drops, CrimeCon is taking place in Denver, Colorado. We're diving into a couple mysteries that occurred in Littleton, about 10 miles away from Denver. These are cases that garnered much less attention than other crimes, such as the Columbine shootings. But the circumstances of each make them very perplexing. Join Mike and Morf as they delve into the mysteries of Littleton, Colorado. The first case involves a triple murder in 2002 at a bowling alley called the AMF Broadway Lanes. The second case is the murder of two teenagers in 2000 at a Subway sandwich shop just blocks from Columbine High School.   You can help support the show through Patreon.
