How can we live a relevant and meaningful life? Linda Kozar, an accomplished author known for her southern flair and refreshing humor in both fiction and nonfiction, shares her insights on finding true meaning and significance beyond society's materialistic measures. We explore the importance of embracing who you are in Christ, the power of forgiveness, and how humor can beautifully bridge deep conversations. Join us as we unravel ways to make your life truly relevant in God's kingdom and find joy in even the smallest details of our daily lives. If you ever wondered how to find true significance, you'll love the wisdom shared by our guest, Linda Kozar. What's in this Episode? Redefining Relevance: Linda inspires us to consider a life that holds genuine meaning, not according to worldly standards, but in alignment with God's kingdom. Discover how everyday acts, like delivering a letter or leading a small Bible study, can be hugely significant. Overcoming Barriers: We all face challenges like imposter syndrome and shame. But as Linda shares, even King David was imperfect and still pursued a heart after God. Learn how to align your heart with God's perspective rather than being ensnared by self-doubt. Embracing Joy and Humor: Humor is a beautiful gift from God, Linda says, and it can lighten our spiritual journey. With her spiced-with-humor devotionals, she shows how joy can deepen our relationships with God and others. Truth in Love: Sometimes, the most loving thing we can do for someone is to tell them the truth—but always in love. Linda unpacks how this approach can strengthen our relationships, even when it's difficult. Your Unique Role: Feeling like an outcast? Linda reminds us that we all belong in God's family, and it's our unique differences that make us valuable. Jesus connects us all, making us each relevant in His eyes.

This Week: Why did God allow the killing of innocent children in the Old Testament? This week we're talking about another difficult real question. What do we do with the stories of God allowing or commanding the deaths of children of enemy nations in the Old Testament? In the face of this difficult question, we'll hear about a surprising principle – the virtue of disobedience. Join us as we read the stories of people who stood up to Pharaoh in the face of unjust policies. Sermon Series: Real Questions People have plenty of questions, but the church doesn't always feel like a safe place to ask them. In Real Questions, we will engage with real faith questions submitted from our community. Some of the questions might seem irreverent and you might wonder if it's okay to talk about. If we only answer safe questions, we aren't actually safe for questions. There aren't always easy answers, but there is always an opportunity to grow and find God in the midst of life's questions.

Seriously in Business: Brand + Design, Marketing and Business
It's time to get real. Sometimes in business we can keep on trying, keep on hustling, keep on researching... but at the end of the day we still feel STUCK.We feel overwhelmed, unsure of our next move or uninspired and it's just all too hard.It's at this point we have 2 choices.1. Do we try again - start the process of finding inspiration, researching and brainstorming what we need to do OR2. Do you GET HELP. Inject some new insight, professional advice and accountability into the situation.I have tried both and I have to say #2 results in quicker action, calm steps and better outcomes. EVERY TIME. And so if right now... your brand is feeling stuck.You aren't proud of what your business looks like.You feel embarrassed to put your business out there.You have ideas but don't know how to make what you need to bring them to life.You try making things but you're never happy... It might be time to get some help.And I would be HONOURED to journey with you.I have a program, The Co+Creation Club that is a 6 week live experience with me... doors only open a couple of times a year and they will be opening September 14th and closing October 4th and if you know that you need help - it's time to take action.

Hey HEY HEEEYYY!!!! We are BACK with a brand new episode! They guys settle in and shoot the sh*t about the events of the day (without pummeling you with bad news). The guys get silly about Chip n Dales Rescue Rangers, Bone Saw McGraw, and anything else that randomly pops into their heads. Pav explores his burning hatred of the movie jumper, while E is accused of egregious offenses against the Notorious B.I.G. and the Russo Brothers. All this plus our song of the week: "Everyone Falls in Love Sometimes" by Bennie Man.
This week we're revisiting a favourite Awake in the World podcast episode. An hour before New Year's Michael gives a quiet talk on the Heart Sutra and Forgiveness. “When I hold someone's hand as they are dying I chant the Heart Sutra. Or when I watch my son sleeping.” A tender and quiet talk on silent retreat. Recorded on Dec 31, 2011.
Today's episode is a little unusual cause we're going to talk about why your business sometimes needs to be “boring.” The reason we need to talk about this is because the most common message we hear about business is that it should be “fun” all the time. We need to talk about the distinction between enjoying what we do in our business and having fun. Your business will involve work, but there should be more to life than your business. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN TODAY'S EPISODE: The different types of personality challenges people face/create in business The challenge of being a “multi-passionate” entrepreneur Your attention is spread too thin You confuse your audience The challenge of being a constant “tinkerer” You don't allow enough time to get data to make a decision Constantly trying to make adjustments to evergreen products before you know what you should change The challenge of constantly having new ideas Acting too quickly before you can tell if the idea is worth pursuing Always chasing new ideas diverts your attention and doesn't allow enough time for things to work Create systems to keep up with your ideas Allow a cooling off period for your ideas rather than acting on them immediately Avoid talking about every new idea with your team Commit to doing fun stuff and also allow some aspects to be boring RESOURCES IN TODAY'S EPISODE: BADA$$ Online Marketing University Free Privacy Policy BADA$$ Online Marketers Follow Bobby on Instagram

If you’ve ever studied or even just dabbled in the social sciences, you’ve probably heard the German word Zeitgeist. Translated into English, the term Zeitgeist means the spirit of the times. To know the zeitgeist is to know the widely-held beliefs that shape behaviors. As Christians, we want to stay in touch with the times as we seek to understand what the apostle Paul referred to in another way, as the course of this world. What are some of the main beliefs that are shaping the behaviors of young and old alike in today’s world? And, how can we begin to teach kids to believe and behave to the glory of God? Stay tuned as we chat with our friend Sean McDowell about these questions and his new book, Chasing Love, on this episode of Youth Culture Matters.
An episode on the good and bad of relationships and situationships. Making sure to give you all gems and have you all act correct when dealing with each other. A very funny but important conversation!
Do you believe that everything is possible at any age? Barbara Rose Brooker does and she's on a mission to spread the word that women of maturity can truly have it all. She is a tireless advocate when it comes to all things aging, fighting age discrimination and living life to the fullest no matter how brightly the number of candles shine on your birthday cake. Barbara joins us to share about the first ever Virtual Age March Movement, her most recent book on aging and age discrimination in Hollywood, Love Sometimes, as well as an update on the latest endeavors in her busy life. If you’re looking for a role model for living fully and feistily after fifty, it’s Barbara. You won’t want to miss this spirited and spicy conversation!
Barbara Rose Brooker is a role model, activist for gendered ageism, poet, columnist, professor, and author. She and I talk about why aging is the new designer drug, and how we can understand ageism and start to dismantle it in all facets of personal and professional life. Barbara talks about her badass work so far including her books Love Sometimes and The Viagra Diaries and how we can get involved with the Age March, an event to celebrate all ages, races, sexualities, and genders. What You Will Hear in This Episode: Barbara started the Age March to bring awareness to ageism and invite people of all ages, races, sexualities, and genders to come together and support one another. The next one will be virtual on September 12. In ageism, we both covertly and overtly define people by their age and segregate them from the rest of society. We live in a culture where we define people by appearance and ignore the inner glow and development of powerful and badass women. Anti-aging advertising gives us a false sense of what it looks like to age and makes the younger generation scared to age. We tend to internalize all the agist assumptions and think we aren’t young enough, smart enough, pretty enough. This blocks or diminishes our success, and Barbara’s work actively combats these all too often repercussions. We need to first look at ourselves and our assumptions. When other people make comments, we can call it out. Comments against someone’s age often comes from a deep-rooted fear of not being accepted and becoming invisible during the aging process. Quotes: “I don’t think age is a one size fits all.” “Age is not only a number. It’s who you are and how you feel about yourself in your own development.” Mentioned: Barbara Rose Brooker Age March Viagra Diaries Love, Sometimes Ruth Bader Ginsberg @SpeakerPelosi Hillary Clinton Elizabeth Warren
This is for anyone who's ever felt lost, voiceless and alone. For anyone who needs love, who needs hope, who needs a light.

This conversation is aimed at baby boomer women who refuse to allow ageism to dash their dreams. And, to those ends, you can’t beat a great read that will brighten your mood, lift your spirits and inspire you to make the most of this special time of life. Our guest, Barbara Rose Brooker, has penned just such a book. In fact her latest novel is the story of a gutsy 68-year-old who refuses to give up on her goals. Bette Roseman is a veteran writer who comes to terms with her past, stands up to the Hollywood bigwigs and searches for love—all in one super-charged tale of resilience and ultimate triumph. It’s called Love, Sometimes and, believe me, this engaging page-turner breaks the boundaries of ageism as it inspires you to do the same in your own life. If “shelter in place” is getting you down, be sure to lift your spirits and take a listen to what our feisty guest has to say!
We mull over the melody, meaning, and lyrics-first collaboration of "We All Fall In Love Sometimes," by Elton John and by Bernie Taupin.

This week on StoryWeb: Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s album Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. When I was fifteen years old, my favorite album was Elton John’s Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Even then, I knew it was something special, a truly unique album. Recently, I listened to the album again – for the first time in over thirty years. Wow! It still holds together. Elton John himself – among numerous other musicians, producers, and critics – believes Captain Fantastic is his best album. The ninth formal studio release album for Elton John, Captain Fantastic was the first album to debut at number one on the US Billboard 200. Rolling Stone ranks it at number 158 on its list of the “500 Greatest Albums of All Time.” The album was recorded at Caribou Ranch outside of Nederland, Colorado – just a hop and a skip from our home in Boulder. Taken in its totality, the album tells the powerful story of the growing relationship – both musically and personally – between Captain Fantastic (Elton John) and the Brown Dirt Cowboy (Bernie Taupin). The album follows their beginnings as a songwriting duo churning out songs in the late 1960s for a pop hits mill in London. Their managers have no thought in the least that they’re working with a lyricist and composer who have the potential to hit it big themselves. For this reason, Bernie Taupin (who wrote the lyrics to the songs) and Elton John (who wrote the music) say that they were writing with “bitter fingers” (the title of the third song on the album). Also chronicled is Elton John’s narrow escape from what would have been a disastrous marriage to Linda Woodrow, who did not see the value of his music. “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” also tells of Elton John’s failed 1969 suicide attempt in response to the engagement. This song was, of course, the big hit from the album, but I think it’s important to put it next to “We All Fall in Love Sometimes,” which appears near the end of the album. Even as a fifteen-year-old, I thought – and still think – the song tells of Elton John and Bernie Taupin’s deepening personal relationship. Elton John said in later years, “Captain Fantastic was written from start to finish in running order, as a kind of story about coming to terms with failure – or trying desperately not to be one. We lived that story." Accounts of the recording sessions indicate that the album was also recorded from start to finish, including the last two songs – “We All Fall in Love Sometimes” and “Curtains” – which were recorded in one continuous take. Music critics laud the songwriting accomplishments of Elton John and Bernie Taupin, with one calling them “the most successful writing duo since Lennon and McCartney.” Unfortunately, the two men had a falling out starting in 1977 and didn’t resume working together again full-time until 1983’s Too Low for Zero album. Even though the two men patched things up and began writing together again, they seem to have lost their mojo and have never quite gotten it back. Elton John and Bernie Taupin were at their best in the early years – from their first album, Empty Sky (an album that has never gotten nearly as much attention as it deserves), their follow-up classics, Madman Across the Water, Goodbye, Yellow Brick Road, and Don’t Shoot Me, I’m Only the Piano Player, and finally Caribou (also recorded in Colorado) and Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy. Of course, in the decades since Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy came out in 1975, Elton John has gone from being a mega-hits pop star (Captain Fantastic) to being a beloved friend of Princess Diana, from marrying his long-time partner, David Furnish, to being knighted by Queen Elizabeth. Though the music he has written and recorded since the 1970s doesn’t come close to his early output, Sir Elton has come a very long way. For more on Elton John and Bernie Taupin, read “From the End of the World to Your Town: The Decline and Fall of Captain Fantastic” or watch the 1991 film documentary Two Rooms: Celebrating the Songs of Elton John and Bernie Taupin. For insights into this particular album, visit Elton John’s official website and read “10 Things You Need to Know about Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy.” And to learn more about the legendary Elton John’s life and career, pick up a copy of the recently published Captain Fantastic: The Definitive Biography of Elton John in the ‘70s. Rock music – especially rock music of the 1970s – has seen many concept albums, but this one is very much worth returning to. Give it a listen again . . . after all these years. Visit thestoryweb.com/john for links to all these resources and to watch a clip of Elton John singing “Someone Saved My Life Tonight” in a 1976 concert. You can also watch the original television commercial for Captain Fantastic and the Brown Dirt Cowboy and listen to the title song, which opens the album.

Beenie Man talks to Sarah C about his style, his music, his women and his opinions. Beenie Man will be appearing this Sunday, 17 August 2008 at the Stratford Rex alongside Tony Matterhorn for the Birthday celebration of DJ Face. In the spirit of fairness, we will look for Bounty Killa's perspective at the earliest opportunity. Alliance fans, never fear! Following Beenie Man’s interview I was contacted by Dimmie Joe Muzic, management for Tanto Metro & Devonte who whole heartedly refute Beenie Man’s claim that he wrote and partly produced Tanto Metro & Devonte’s first hit, “Everyone Falls In Love Sometime”. Dimmie Joe Muzic have issued the following statement: "To whom it may concern, We would like to address the issue of wrongful information that was posted on your website in the form of an interview between Moses Davis also known as Beenie Man and Sarah C of Vibes 93.8 FM on August 13, 2008 08:55 AM. In the interview Beenie Man states that he was responsible for writing and partly producing everyone falls in love by Tanto Metro and Devonte and even implies that he is the one responsible for the Duo success in past years. These remarks can be seen as a blatant disregard of respect and professionalism and since they were not corrected I believe that it is our responsibility to clear the air so to speak and let it be know that Moses Davis A.K.A Beenie Man did not write this or any such song for Tanto Metro and Devonte nor has he ever been a part of the production on any project that the duo has worked on. The song Everyone Falls in Love Sometimes was written by Devonte. Yes it is true that the two acts were at the same production company for many years and share many connections and aspects of the music business however their individual careers and creative aspects have never been intertwined in such a fashion. We feel that it is our responsibility to put an end to this untrue rumor, thus it would be our pleasure to do an interview via phone if necessary. It would also please us if you could organize a retraction or correction of the statement on your website. We appreciate your cooperation and included in this email is our contact information for future reference. Thank You and Much Respect. Dimmie Joe Music Ltd. Representatives of Tanto Metro and Devonte. -- Dimmie Joe Muzik Ltd. 5 Springvale Avenue, Kingston 10 dimmiejoemuzik@gmail.com www.myspace.com/dimmiejoemuzik "/end of statement The mischievous side of Sarah C wonders what inspired the lyric “beep beep who’s got the keys to my jeep”. I look forward to catching up with Tanto Metro and Devonte in the near future to hear their side of the story.
