Even in the days Jesus walked the earth, there were those looking at the chaos of the world, making predictions about the end-times, and wishing victory would be won by political and military might. Jesus speaks of a different kind of Kingdom. He reminds us the Kingdom is indwelling your heart; it can exist in the very center of who you are, deep down In the desperate part of your heart, mind, and soul – the part that needs something. If we let it, the kingdom can invade that place, and in doing so Jesus offers us enough hope for today. This message is from our Sunday morning service on March 8th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

The Lord Jesus told Nicodemus in John 3:17, For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. Dear child of God, read those words from our Blessed Lord again. So many of God's children walk around under this thick cloud of condemnation. What is the source of such an oppressive spirit? Most certainly, this condemnation does not come from The Lord, nor from The Holy Ghost. Conviction? Chastening? Yes. Condemnation? No.The apostle Paul writes in Romans 8:1-2 "There is therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus, who walk not after the flesh, but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus hath made me free from the law of sin and death." The source of this condemnation is Satan. Rev 12:10 "And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, Now is come salvation, and strength, and the kingdom of our God, and the power of his Christ: for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, which accused them before our God day and night."In courtroom terminology, Satan is the prosecuting attorney. The Lord Jesus told Peter before he denied him that Satan would pounce on the sin, and seek to destroy his faith in Jesus. "And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat" (Luke 22:31). Oh the compassion and mercy that Jesus has for ALL of His sheep when they fail and fall short of the glory of God. Listen once again to the words of the apostle Paul in Romans 8:33-34. "Who shall lay any thing to the charge of God's elect? It is God that justifieth. Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us."One of Satan's most effective fiery darts is the fiery dart of accusation. Every child of God must resist this lie from the pit of hell by holding up the shield of faith, which in reality is the shield of faith in the perfect work of Jesus Christ for our sin, not the shield of faith in my own faith. When the church of Corinth did not deal biblically with the issue of forgiving a man who has fallen, but had repented of his sin, Paul exhorted them to forgive him: "Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices" (2 Cor 2:11).Beloved brothers and sisters in Christ, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is our Advocate or defense attorney before The Father. He is not condemning you, beloved, He is pleading for you and me before The Father. Rejoice in your salvation, resist the devil and he will flee from you. Hallelujah!

Emily Webb is the owner of Emily's Garden. She is 69 years old and lives three miles from a town of 154 people in the northern Sierras of California. She comes from a family of artists and designers who are all good with their hands. She started Emily's Garden in 1981 as a manufacturing company in her laundry room, beginning with a scented hot pad. Over the years she grew, acquiring sales reps and show rooms across the country. The scented hot pads quickly gave way to personal care, with fabric microwavable products like aromatherapy neck wraps, booties and eye pillows sold to high end hotel spas and gift shops like the Pebble Beach Resort, Ritz Carlton and Fairmont.In the early 2000's she created custom designs and private labeling for stores and national catalogs like Smith & Hawken, Red Envelope and The Wedding Channel, shipping large volume orders from a 150 year old building in Taylorsville with a team of seven. In 2009 she stepped away from mass production and opened a 270 sq ft. retail store in Quincy, CA. She loved it even though she made almost no money. She sold beauty. She sold pretty. She sold nature. Her window displays became known throughout town and after she left, Main St. never felt the same.At 67 she was burnt out from a lifetime of go, go, go. She closed her store and retired. Today she keeps a small display in the Made in Plumas County store and an active website, spending her time hiking and foraging with her dog, working in her garden and creating flower arrangements from the flowers she grows.In this episode she shares how she built a national wholesale brand from her laundry room, why she chose creativity over scale when mass production no longer felt aligned, and what burnout, reinvention and retirement look like when you choose beauty, nature and quality of life over constant growth.We are incredibly grateful for everyone who listens to and shares this podcast!

This morning we revisit the famous three parables Jesus told about the lost; a lost sheep, a lost coin, and a lost son. Interestingly, these stories weren't told to the lost...they were told to the Pharisees, the religious elite outraged he was spending time such an obviously deplorable crowd. Jesus masterfully uses these stories to communicate God's unrelenting pursuit of the lost, while simultaneously challenging us to examine our own judgement, exclusivity, and self-righteousness as he indicts the Pharisees for their unwillingness to join God in his search and in his rejoicing when the lost are brought home.  This message is from our Sunday morning service on March 1st, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

“You must be born again” (Jn. 3:7b) Jesus says. This was Jesus answer to a question Nicodemus never thought to ask. An astounded Nicodemus responds, “How?” (Jn. 3:9). No one is born with all the information needed to navigate life. Asking the right questions of the right person is key in virtually every area of life. Before Google Maps, if you needed to find your way to a destination you'd stop at a gas station. When getting from point A to point B, we need directions. For more complex decisions, we need advice and counsel. To accomplish certain goals in life, like getting a job in a given field, we need education. Should a sailor ask a coal miner how to sail a ship? Should a soldier ask an interior decorator how to go to war? Let's add a moral dimension. Should a dairy farmer seek time-management advice from a lazy man? Should a doctor get trained by a quack? But what happens if we don't even know we need to ask a question and our life is in peril without the answer? Who will tell us that question and give us that answer? This was Nicodemus' situation and ours too. In John 3: 9 Nicodemus, coming to Jesus in his intellectual and moral darkness remained dumbfounded to learn that to enter the kingdom of God he had to become a totally new person. The cascading implications of his view of the world, his view of himself, his understanding of his nation, his religion, his leadership role, everything was shaken. Because he thought he was already part of the kingdom of God, his jaw was probably still on the floor after Jesus said to him in verse 7, “Do not be amazed that I said to you, ‘You must be born again.'” So he responds to Jesus, “How can these things be?” When it comes to four of most important questions of life every person needs to have answered to truly live, Jesus provides the answers. Those questions are: 1) What is mankind's problem? 2) Who is God? 3) What is God's solution to man's problem? and 4) How does God's solution work? And He does all this in just eight (8) short verses (Jn. 3:10-17)! John sets up this all important conversation about life with this Jew of Jews, this master teacher, this religious zealot, this ruler of rulers way back in chapter 1:12-13, “But as many as received Him (the Light), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.” Translation: Entrance into the kingdom of God and possessing eternal life does not come by genealogy, rationality, or religiosity but by the will of God for all who believe.Koinonia FellowshipSundays at 8:30a and 10:30a500 Main St. East Rochester, NY 14445koinoniafellowship.com

Jesus analogizes life with him to a narrow door or path. This specific image is meant to communicate two things to us: 1) Walking through that door into his presence, is like being invited to a banquet prepared for us. It's open to the lowly, to those that recognize that they are limping towards the finish line and that they don't have it all figured out. 2) What we are walking into by choosing it, is the beginning of a perpetual, lifelong climb where we learn to give over, little by little, all of the things that we hold more dear than Jesus himself. This message is from our Sunday morning service on February 22nd, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

This one's gonna hurt.And that's okay, pain is part of life. We all feel it, so let's give it the grace of our attention.You may have heard the phrase, “sore spot” or “trigger point” in reference to both metaphorical pain, and physical pain. Does your pain belong to a spot? Is that spot a circle, or more angular, or square? Does it have a third dimension? Is one sore spot connected to another?Pain is the impossible, words never touch what we feel, not really. By approaching pain in a new language of shape, colour, texture, dimensions, there is room for something new: curiosity. Instead of fixating on solution to the pain, or avoiding it altogether, we make a third option by offering our attention without a goal.Just to notice it with our drawing eye.=Watch on YouTube: =If you want to practice in sync with others, join my live Drawing Health class every Saturday on Zoom.

C.J. Chenier and squeezebox arrive Sunday In one Far Side cartoon by Gary Larson, angels greet newcomers with, "Welcome to heaven — here's your harp." Down below, the devil says, "Welcome to hell — here's your accordion." C.J. Chenier, who plays a bling-encrusted squeezebox, is laughing all the way to the bank. The man works: He has 18 gigs this month, in an arc from Texas to Minnesota to Rhode Island, including a stop at the Towne Crier in Beacon at 6 p.m. on Sunday (Feb. 22) with his group, The Red Hot Louisiana Band. Zydeco music from southwest Louisiana is a niche, of course, but within the realm, C.J. is royalty: His father, Clifton J. Chenier, who died in 1987 at age 62, is recognized as the king. C.J. switched from saxophone to accordion and kept the mojo going. On his website, he's described as the Crown Prince of Zydeco. "Other people said that, and it found me," he says. "I never sought it out." Zydeco pioneer Amede Ardoin used a button accordion, which Clifton Chenier dismissed in a documentary as "a small French" model. Still, its booming tone drowned out Dennis McGee's fiddle, which is nearly inaudible on the 22 tracks the two musicians made together from 1929 to 1934. The biracial duo exemplified the exchanges among the French-speaking population in Louisiana, who sharecropped or migrated to Port Arthur and Beaumont, Texas, where they were exposed to jazz and blues. "The difference between zydeco and cajun is the same as the blues and country," says C.J. Before establishing his music career, Clifton lived in Texas and began playing the louder, more versatile piano accordion with white and black keys instead of buttons, which filled rooms with sound in the days before amplification. In addition, he helped create the washboard vest, made from corrugated stainless steel. His brother, Cleveland Chenier, scraped out the rhythm with bottle caps, although C.J. says his player uses spoons. The original vest frottoir is in the collection of the National Museum of American History. With accordion and washboard as the base, Clifton began recording in the early 1950s. When electrified instruments revolutionized roots and popular music, Clifton added guitar, bass, drums, keyboards and horns. Unlike Ardoin, an old-timer who played a bit behind the beat, the king stomped out the rhythm. Playing the accordion is like wrestling with an alligator. "It keeps me in shape," says C.J. Pushing the keys with the right hand and keeping the bellows pumping is a challenge, but he pulls the shoulder straps tight to ensure that he can control the 25-pound instrument. The Towne Crier often clears out rows of tables to create space because, as C.J. says, zydeco is "happy-feet music that makes you smile, turns a bad day into a good one. Just joyful sounds from the swamps." The Towne Crier is located at 379 Main St. in Beacon. Tickets are $30 at townecrier.com or $35 at the door.

Have you ever wondered why bad things happen to good people? When Jesus was asked this question, he responded by inviting people to think differently about the present moment because no one knows what the future will hold. We tend to dwell on the past or worry about the future, but Jesus reminds us all we have is what we do with the moment we're in. The invitation to reimagine and re-evaluate our life in light of his love is always open. This message is from our Sunday morning service on February 15th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

Pastor George Grace said this, “The purpose for selling these animals in the temple, which to make the sacrifices of people more convenient. In other words, the people were not forced to raise and drive the animals for a long distance to get to the temple. It seems convenient sacrifice was the order of the day just as it was in the days with Malachi when the people offered the name in sick animals instead of the good ones (Malachi 1:8-14). It is no different today: we have done everything within our power to make sacrifice to Christ convenient in order to keep people coming to church, but whoever said that being a part of a local church and serving Christ was supposed to be convenient?” On the contrary, Christians are to offer their bodies sacrificially unto Him. Romans 12:1-2 says, “I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service. And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God” Beloved, Romans 14:10-12 & 2 Corinthians 5:10,11 tells us that there is a day when you and I as followers of Jesus will stand before Him and we will give an account for how we stewarded the time, the relationships, our God given spiritual gifts, finances and even the words that we speak…..Matthew 12:33-37! Everything that we have, every gift, every penny, every talent, every gift, every minute belongs to Him and has been given unto us and is to be used for His glory and His kingdom. That day is coming beloved…that is why Jesus gave the teachings on the talents and pounds….we do everything we do in this life beloved because we know that day is coming. Mark 14:11 says this about Judas: “And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him”. Reject the contemporary “what is in it for me”, convenient Christian lifestyle that is more concerned about the life that is now, than that which is to come. How do you pick up your cross conveniently? How do you deny yourself conveniently? How do you love others conveniently? How do you forgive others conveniently? How do you serve and bear one another's burdens others conveniently? How do you watch and pray conveniently?Jesus gave us the cases of the poor widows offering of all that she had and the account of the woman who poured out her life's savings on Him as examples of sacrificial living for His church to follow. How did they do that conveniently? I will never forget hearing John F Kennedy say these words at his inaugural address: “And so my fellow Americans. Ask not what your country can do for you ask what you can do for your country. My fellow citizens of the world ask not what America will do for you....".Never did I ever think that I would be saying these words as a 77 years old pastor to the consumer driven, what's in it for me church in America today: Ask not what the Lord Jesus can do for you, ask what you can do for the Lord Jesus. The words of the prophet Haggai 1:5-7 rings true to every person. That day to stand before our Lord Jesus and give an account is coming beloved, make the most of every opportunity that God gives you to serve Him and bring Him glory. Consider your ways.

(The Center Square) – A retail business advocate says a federal judge's ruling to uphold the Interchange Fee Prohibition Act paves the way for Main Street Illinois to experience major relief, but a banking advocate says the law could slow commerce and foul up transactions. U.S. District Court Judge Virginia Kendall ruled on Tuesday that the law to ban processing fees on the tax and tip portion of credit and debit card transactions could be implemented as scheduled July 1. Illinois Retail Merchants Association President and CEO Rob Karr said removing the pressure of swipe fees on prices will be a big deal. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

City Council may add 17 properties Beacon is considering adding 17 properties near Main Street to the city's historic district. There are nearly 300 homes and structures in the district, which prevents them and neighboring buildings from being altered in a way that the city believes will harm their historic value. The district also has its own architectural and design standards — a sticking point for some homeowners who have said during public hearings that the rules are too restrictive, limiting choices on paint colors and other elements. On the flip side, historic structures are eligible to apply for special permits that allow uses associated with history, the arts or culture, such as hotels or other professional uses. Rose Hill Manor Day School, for example, at 1064 Wolcott Ave., is part of the historic district. The Planning Board is reviewing a proposal by the property owner to convert the historic buildings to an inn and restaurant, uses not normally allowed in its otherwise mostly residential zone. Restoration of properties in the historic district may also be eligible for tax exemptions and, in some cases, for historic preservation grants. The district is an overlay, meaning its restrictions can apply to any building. It was created in 1991; before the pandemic shutdown in 2020, the City Council held public hearings on 35 properties recommended for inclusion. In July 2021, council members voted to add six properties on or near Main Street. A month later, nine Main Street buildings were added. Of the 17 sites now being considered, 14 appear to be private homes. The Beacon Hebrew Alliance, at 331 Verplanck Ave., and St. Rocco Society, at 26 South Chestnut, are on the list, along with 17 Church St., which is owned by an LLC. On the List These buildings are being considered for inclusion in Beacon's Historic District. 9 Mattie Cooper Sq. 11 N. Elm St. 4 N.

Chestnut St. 19 Commerce St. 11 Commerce St. 20 South Ave. 22 South Ave. 26 South Ave. 30 South Ave. The council can designate a site as part of the district because of distinguishing architectural features, cultural or aesthetic value or if it is eligible for the state or national registers of historic places. After a property has been officially nominated, the council must hold a public hearing and vote within 60 days. The owners of nominated buildings can request exclusion, but a supermajority of the council (five of its seven members) can overrule the objection. 248 Tioronda The City Council has begun its review of the amended concept plan for a partially completed development at 248 Tioronda Ave. In November, the City Council gave the developer the go-ahead to draft plans for two new residential buildings with 136 apartments, 27 of which will be offered at below-market rates. That was the trade-off required after Bernard Kohn, the developer, asked the city to allow him to build more apartments (64 have been completed) rather than a commercial building, which had been a condition of approval. If, after a public hearing, the council approves the amended concept plan, the Planning Board will review and vote to amend its approval of the project. Planning Board The Planning Board on Tuesday (Feb. 10) approved Stanza Books' application to construct a partially enclosed patio behind 425 Main St., the former Mase Hook & Ladder firehouse. There was no vote on the proposal to construct an addition onto the Telephone Building at 291 Main St.; the project attorney requested an adjournment because only five of seven board members were present. The board will hold a public hearing next month on an application to construct a 49-space parking lot and add five parking spaces to the employee lot east of Dia Beacon. The museum would also like to construct a 60-foot-by-70-foot storage building at the south end of the employee lot. Public hearings Th...

Rotating group performs monthly at Savage Wonder Scroll down the page of gig posters at the Jazzwomen! website and you'll notice Kim Peralta appears in each one. As the ensemble's founder and drummer, she's guaranteed a gig. "I formed the group so I could play with high-caliber musicians, which helps improve my playing," she says. "I book the dates and provide enough rhythmic reinforcement that they show up." Peralta has established a third Thursday residency at Savage Wonder in Beacon (the next one is Feb. 19) and will perform at Estilo Y Vino in May. The members are booked up for Women's History Month, so they're skipping the March date at Savage Wonder and will return on April 16. Peralta assembled a roster of 14 musicians, some of whom have played with Lionel Hampton, Dizzy Gillespie and Wynton Marsalis. Saxophonist Kate Anderson toured with The Temptations and The Four Tops and bass player Jennifer Vincent has performed with k.d. lang and Patti LaBelle. In addition to playing jazz piano, Heather Bennett is the organist and music director at a New Jersey church. Ellie Lee describes herself as a "bold, fiery artist" who "composes in a variety of styles, including jazz, classical, pop and gospel." Peralta began recruiting pianists, saxophonists and bass players in 2023. Sax whiz Jenny Hill adds flute to her arsenal, and Rachel Therrien, who has worked with Arturo O'Farrill, is the sole trumpeter. Peralta selects the lineups for each gig like a baseball manager. The basic combo is a piano trio (with bass and drums), though adding a saxophone expands the sonic palette; Therrien once rounded out a quintet. The players are so accomplished that Peralta needs only to compile a set list and, if necessary, provide lead sheets. As the exclamation point indicates, Jazzwomen! wants to make a statement. In addition to originals, the group performs compositions by Alice Coltrane and Dorothy Ashby. "Melba Liston played trombone with the best of them, and Mary Lou Williams wrote 500 songs," says Peralta, who referenced as inspiration the National Public Radio show, "Marian McPartland's Piano Jazz," which the English-born musician and educator hosted from 1978 to 2011. Now known as "Piano Jazz" (McPartland died in 2013), it is NPR's longest-running cultural program. The gig posters online also include likenesses of Mike Aiese, who does not match the profile. But Peralta notes that there is a general shortage of bass players, so he sat in at Savage Wonder last month and will do so again next week. At the January show, sax player Maria Lazzaro emitted a furious flurry of notes during "In a Mellow Tone," before displaying her tonal command with bluesy slurs that lifted the classic "On Green Dolphin Street." Pianist Janice Friedman played trills like a heavy metal guitarist. Performing together for the first time, the two musicians engaged in a gentle cutting contest. Often at jazz concerts, the bass player gets a break or two, but Aiese took flight on all but one tune. Peralta kept it simple on her compact kit. Even though Aiese walked, vamped and played solid solos, Peralto says she is always on the lookout to replace him, which he understands. "It's magical to perform with all women," she says. "It's hard to describe, but it's special." Savage Wonder is located at 139 Main St. in Beacon. The Feb. 19 performance, which begins at 8 p.m., is free, but tickets are required. See dub.sh/jazzwomen-2-19.

Jesus warns you can't measure someone's life by the things they own, though we often spend our whole lives in pursuit of more. Jesus warns it is foolish to only live for yourself, though we often spend our lives self-absorbed. Jesus' words to us today about greed and worry are a challenge to all of us no matter our income or station in life. His invitation to selflessness is ultimately a promise that leads to fullness and freedom. This message is from our Sunday morning service on February 8th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

You can't be a suburb of nowhere.And that means that Downtowns are important to communities, including Louisville. Jeff O'Brien, executive director at the Louisville Metro Cabinet for Economic Development, made that point during Access Louisville: Heart of the City, a live event put on by Louisville Business First on Feb. 5 at the Baird Conference Center at 500 W. Jefferson Street. The event doubled as a live recording of the Access Louisville podcast. Lee Weyland, of Core Real Estate, Hank Hillebrand, of the Poe Cos., and Rebecca Fleischaker, of the Louisville Downtown Partnership were on the show as well. Louisville Business First Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett moderated the discussion.The panel spoke about the importance of development in Louisville's urban core, not just in downtown but also NuLu, Butchertown and elsewhere. It was a particularly timely discussion considering all the recent news on new developments.On Tuesday, Feb. 3, Louisville-based Poe Cos. announced it had officially signed a letter of intent to purchase the Humana Building at 500 W. Main St. and convert it into a 1,000-room hotel. (Business First exclusively reported Poe Cos. plans on Dec. 12.) And only a few weeks ago Business First reported that Indianapolis-based Ghoman Group has secured franchise approval to bring a JW Marriott hotel to the 26-story 401 S. 4th St. Tower — formerly the Brown & Williamson Tower — at 401 S. Fourth St.So we weren't short on things to talk about. Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First.

Hey hey BATT Family! Episode 31 is here for your auditory enjoyment. This one is another episode that we had way too much fun recording.  We are lucky enough to be joined by D. Brad Talton, President and Owner of Level 99 Games, on the show this time around. What you are hearing is a much smaller subset of the conversations that we had with him because we got pretty deep into the inside baseball of the industry and how things get done. While it was fascinating for us, we thought it might be less so for the general audience, but what remained is still a really fun, compelling conversation I think. In addition to having Brad on, we also had the infamous Jen join us for the first time someone else hit us with a Why Did We Play That. It's a wild episode and, unsurprisingly, it was another bear to edit through but I'm very proud of what we have here. It's also the biggest single episode I've had to edit - the raw file was almost four hours long because we just kept talking and having a good time. So apologies for this one running longer than normal, but it's already pretty solidly condensed from multiple editing passes.The next thing you'll hear from us is our next live episode, recorded in front of an audience at PopiCon 2026! Let us know what you think of this episode when you're done with it, go check out some of L99's sick looking Gamefound campaigns, and we'll catch you on the next one! --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:30 - What's Been on the Table 00:11:52 - Topic of the Week: Level 99 Games 00:29:10 - Grand Gamers Guild Sponsor 00:30:40 - Why Did I Play That: Le Plateau 00:45:10 - Table / Shelf / Trade 01:15:49 - Rotating Segment: Visions of the Future 01:23:06 - Secret Door Sponsor   01:23:58 - Meeple Source Sponsor 01:25:01 - Victory Roll Sponsor 01:25:51 - Contact Info for BATT and Theater Geeks 01:27:03 - Level 99 Upcoming Games / Outro ---   Notes! 1) Just listening back to this episode, it was a sheer joy to do so. I hope you have as much fun listening to it as it was both the first and second (and third and fourth and etc...) times for me.  2) So if you've seen Mark's Top 100 you know that Bullet ended up at number 4 on the list, not number 3. The joy of jostling numbers right before the end of the year. But I mean, really, it's a top five game and it's incredible regardless.  3) Sorry for the kind of awkward end to Scott's TST for 7 Wonders Dice - that's just how it ended on the recording. None of the rest of us had played it and didn't have much else to say.  4) I have since played Toy Battle and really, really enjoy it. I expect to also be talking about it during an upcoming episode because of just how utterly replayable it is. 5) Mark backed Decko after talking with Brad. Really looking forward to that one.  --- We'd like to thank our sponsors as well: Grand Gamers Guild! https://grandgamersguild.com.

It's a reunion show as Al, Gemini, Rich and Andrew all gather for pizza at How Ya Dough'n, the new joint atop the new BLVD shopping and eating venue on The Strip right across from City Center. We talk to GM Vince Lawrence about the small pizza chain's first expansion outside its home base of Miami. The episode was recorded the day after we all gathered at the new Ada's in the Arts District, where we ate through most of the menu. Al shares more about the Hell's Kitchen watch party at Main St. Provisions, and the celebration of Chef Ellie Parker's victory. Plus a Happy Hour Report and lots of other restaurant reports. 

Jesus reminds his friends we are all susceptible to hypocrisy. It's the kind of poison that corrupts our souls. It makes us callous to the compassion of Jesus, judgmental of those desperate for care and, and closes us off from love. Today we explore Jesus' sobering metaphor about a dirty cup and what it means to live a sincere life, to be people of integrity and honesty in a cultural moment dominated by confusion and falsehood. This message is from our Sunday morning service on January 25th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

We begin with breaking news from just six hours before the episode dropped: Las Vegas' own Ellie Parker has won Season 24 of Hell's Kitchen! Al was at the watch party at Main St. Provisions and talked to Ellie just minutes after the episode finale. As for the regular show: Bob Barnes sits in for Gemini this week for an episode that centers around a conversation with bartending legend Dale DeGroff. Al caught up with Dale shortly before he kicked off a new guest bartender series at The Vault in Bellagio. They talk about the history of American mixology over the past century. You'll also hear from Walbert Castillo about the new Istorya residency at Durango Social Club, and get restaurant reports on Butcher & Thief, Guerrilla Pizza, Amari, Toca Madera, Gymkhana and more. PLUS - beer news from Bob, a Happy Hour Report from Andrew Morgan and a rundown of the James Beard Award Semifinalists.

We were made for storytelling. Stories are what shape us, they live in our bones and ring in our ears and color our imaginations. Today we reimagine a famous passage about two sisters, about devotion, and about the most important thing in life. We ask ourselves, who's feet are we seated at and what kind of story are they telling us about God, others, and ourselves? This message is from our Sunday morning service on January 18th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

In a cultural moment where hatred, viciousness, and violence are being stoked, celebrated, and encouraged the parable of the Good Samaritan challenges us to redefine who we call our neighbors. This story invites us to reimagine what it looks like to love others as Jesus truly meant it and what it means to be a safe place for people to recover from religious trauma and rediscover new life.  This message is from our Sunday morning service on January 11th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

Hey hey BATT Family! Sorry to overload you with top ten lists recently, but here is Episode 30! As it's a multiple of five it is a top ten list and this week's episode is about Simultaneous Action games. This was recorded at Gen Con on July 30th, 2025 in the BATT hotel room, so it's a bit more echoey than usual. This topic was brought by the guest of the show, Derian, who has been a good friend of ours for years and runs all of the demo tables at Gen Con. If you've ever seen the dude wearing a bright orange shirt, a mohawk, and a utilikilt - that's our boy. We cover some really great games here and even had a couple (big ones) that were forgotten off of some of the lists. Give it a go, let us know what you think and we'll see you in two weeks with Episode 31 where we have the president of Level 99 Games on with us! --- This episode's segments: 00:00:00 - Intro / How We Know Each Other 00:02:18 - History / List Selection Criteria 00:07:23 - Scott's 10 (Broom Service) 00:10:13 - Derian's 10 (Broom Service) 00:12:15 - Mark's 10 (Smartphone, Inc.) 00:14:40 - Scott's 9 (Apples to Apples) 00:15:45 - Derian's 9 (Quacks of Quedlinberg) 00:18:00 - Mark's 9 (Raptor) 00:20:15 - Scott's 8 (7 Wonders) 00:23:46 - Derian's 8 (Niagara) 00:26:02 - Mark's 8 (Hadara) 00:28:32 - Scott's 7 (Get Bit) 00:31:36 - Derian's 7 (7 Wonders) 00:32:14 - Mark's 7 (Terraforming Mars: Ares Expedition) 00:35:19 - Scott's 6 (Bezzerwizzer) 00:37:00 - Derian's 6 (Roll for the Galaxy) 00:38:44 - Mark's 6 (Faraway) 00:40:17 - Grand Gamer's Guild Sponsor 00:41:33 - Scott's 5 (Gloomhaven / Frosthaven) 00:43:16 - Derian's 5 (Between Two Cities) 00:45:10 - Mark's 5 (Antidote) 00:47:32 - Scott's 4 (Planet Unknown) 00:48:50 - Derian's 4 (On Tour) 00:50:36 - Mark's 4 (Incan Gold) 00:51:42 - Scott's 3 (Antidote) 00:52:24 - Derian's 3 (Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest) 00:53:30 - Mark's 3 (Tidal Blades: Banner Festival) 00:55:05 - Scott's 2 (On Tour) 00:56:46 - Derian's 2 (Orleans) 01:01:04 - Mark's 2 (El Grande) 01:04:02 - Scott's 1 (Bullet) 01:06:37 - Derian's 1 (Race for the Galaxy) 01:10:27 - Mark's 1 (Libertalia: Winds of Galecrest) 01:15:29 - Secret Door Sponsor   01:16:20 - Meeple Source Sponsor 01:17:23 - Victory Roll Sponsor 01:18:14 - Contact Info for BATT and Theater Geeks 01:19:25 - Outro --- Notes! 1) Scott's lead in on his number 10 is something that was referrenced in the Honorable Mentions! That'll be out with an Odds and Ends episode eventually. 2) In regards to El Grande, because the way Derian jumped in I didn't really fully explain why I picked it. The simultaneous selection is admittedly not that high here (really only during the scoring phases) but I find it to be so radically important to the game that it had to be that high. Realistically I should have had this probably a bit lower on the list, and it definitely would have been bounced lower as Bullet should have been my number 2, but I still like the game quite a bit and think it deserves to be here.  3) One other thing I found interesting listening to this episode back to back with our recent Top of 2025 lists is how consistent some of these opinions are. We played an enormous amount of games in the five months between these three recordings and we still managed to feel the way we did in both periods. Apologies for these being so close together though, the intent is that we'd actually start 2026 with Episode 31 but my schedule just got delayed significantly over the past few weeks and the edits just fell behind. So that's why they've lined up the way they have.    4) Libby scored 52 points as recorded, not 56. But I looked over the photo and found that she accidentally cheated and connected a 74 to a 73 in the South. Whoops. 50 points is still insane though.

Many of the resolutions and aspirations set this time of year are born out of a place of not enough, and the general tone around January sounds like striving, and pushing, and straining. Is there another way to approach the new year that doesn't expect so much try-harder energy? We look this morning to the famous story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 for the answer. This message is from our Sunday morning service on January 4th, 2026.We meet at 957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027 on Sunday mornings at 10am.Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

DHPOD Episode 2: Listening Now (body awareness practice and guided meditation)If you're just starting to listen to your body, it's gonna hurt. Why? Because your body has been trying to get your attention, crying out in pain or numbing out in helplessness. The first thing you'll hear, when you start listening, might be aaaaaaaallll that pain at once. It takes strength and patience to face that pain, and hear it, and feel it, and keep coming back. So this is a practice to build your strength, to start with acknowledging the pain, and to not shame yourself for how hard it all is.Join me for a gentle, guided meditation to connect with your body, tune in to what it needs, and tend to those needs as best you can. This practice is all about expanding your awareness and beginning to cultivate a kinder relationship with your body.As with any Drawing Health practice, get comfortable, take what feels good and supportive for you, and leave what doesn't. Reflection questions:- What is one small action you can take, in this moment, to tend to your physical needs?- How does it feel to tune in to your body's signals? - Did you notice any changes—physical, mental, emotional—while listening to this meditation, or after?Get comfortable. Really, really cozy. Don't hold back on comfort now — it's your first resource of strength to face the discomfort of feeling.=If you loved listening to this episode, or if it stirred something new in you, I'd love you to leave us a review. Sharing your experiences is a gift to yourself and others, and definitely me. I love learning how my offerings land in other people, and it really helps the show to find those who need it. If you want to connect with myself and others who are practicing Drawing Health in community every Saturday, just go to drawinghealth.com and sign up for the weekly live class.This is the Drawing Health podcast, a resource for your well-being and inspiration. I'm offering you ways to connect your creativity and your body, so that your health is never at odds with your art. Every Sunday, a new episode, alternating between graphic medicine interviews and guided audio practices. Listen, subscribe, and most of all: give feedback. Tell your stories, and experiences, by leaving a review or comment or sending an email. What I say doesn't matter nearly as much as what you hear, feel, and learn about yourself.

Many of us approach the end of this season feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, and defeated from the endless tug of war on our attention the holidays seem to demand. We believe Christmas has something to say to our striving, something to offer our overwhelm and the invisible burdens we all carry during this time of year and every other day of the year too. The invitation of Christmas is to behold – this kind of focusing, this narrowing our attention, this drawing near to marvel at the miracle of God with us. This message is from our Sunday morning Christmas service on December 21st, 2025.We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.There will be NO SERVICE on Sunday, December 28th. We will resume on January 4th, 2026! Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

Tom Hart and I have been working together for years, and as Founder and Director at SAW, Tom is the reason this podcast exists at all. What better way to start than to hear us in conversation, as we often are, but with microphones this time, discussing what Drawing Health, and our passion in graphic medicine, is all about.Topics include: Can comics heal? Do I hate making comics? What if I don't understand what's happening in my body? What if I draw the feeling? Drawing, sudden death, disability, capitalism's grind, the importance of noticing our health when it's GOOD, and more.Reflection questions:* What is YOUR definition of health?* What would it be like for you to draw with some simple constraints?* Are you interested in learning more about graphic medicine, with support?Episode links!SAW's website: www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org Tom's favourite book: https://bookshop.org/p/books/blossoms-and-bones-drawing-a-life-back-together-kim-krans Georgia's book, Dumb: Living without a Voice: https://www.fantagraphics.com/products/dumb Graphic Medicine Summit 2025 Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL6nZBKexfhvvSR2esA0uDSgCPCPRXSFXnMaureen Burdock's Graphic Medicine Deep Dive course: https://www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/graphic-medicine-deep-dive-with-maureen-burdock Graphic Memoir & Medicine Working Group: https://www.sequentialartistsworkshop.org/memoir-medicine-groupMusic acknowledgementOur theme music is Magic Hours by Aaron Comeau made for the Main St. Music Library.

A deal that would see the Humana Building, at 500 W. Main Street, redeveloped as a large hotel, seems to be cooking behind the scenes.LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett broke the story recently and joins us on the Access Louisville podcast to tell us about what he's learned. As reported on Dec. 12, Louisville-based Poe Cos. is in the planning stages to convert the 26-story Humana Building into a 1,000-room hotel, according to multiple sources familiar with the project. The tower is located at 500 W. Main St., near Louisville's Belvedere, Museum Row and the KFC Yum Center. To reach 1,000 rooms, an additional tower may be constructed behind the existing tower, near or where The Exchange office space and Vincenzo's restaurant now sit, according to at least one source. The existing tower would be converted to house the majority of the rooms, the sources said.On the show, Stinnett tells us how his reporting on the matter came together, other projects the Poe Cos. has in the works and what the needs look like with hotels in Downtown Louisville. We also go over what might happened next. Later in the show we chat about the landscape for electric vehicles going forward. This is in the wake of the news that Ford is pulling back on EV plans, dissolving its battery manufacturing venture with SK On (called BlueOvalSK) and repurposing its recently opened battery manufacturing facility in Glendale, Kentucky. As part of the repurposing, BlueOvalSK is laying off all its Glendale workers. A Ford subsidiary plans to takeover the plant and repurpose it for battery energy storage. It's a complicated situation for the automaker being as it just announced a new manufacturing platform at Louisville Assembly Plant in August in support of a new midsize EV pickup truck with a $30,000 price tag (low for the EV market.) Plans for that truck are still on, Ford says.Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. You can follow it on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.

Peace is something we all crave, but it often feels elusive and short-lived. This week's passage invites us to reimagine peace not as a sense of calm or tranquility, but as a revolution of the heart and an invitation to the humble way of Jesus that opposes the arrogant, rejects violence, and redefines the "rich". This message is from our Sunday morning service on December 7th, 2025.We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.Christmas Services this year will be on Sunday, December 21st at 9:30am & 11am. *Kindred Kids will only be offered at the 9:30am service time. Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

Welcome to Why Music Matters, a podcast where we examine the power and influence that music can wield in our lives. I'm your host, Jeff Miers.   Today, my guest is Evan Laedke, a musician with an impressively broad skill-set, one that has made him a first-call keyboardist for a wide variety of WNY bands, one-off gigs and sessions.   Currently playing keys for Tsavo Highway, the Little Mountain Band, and others, Evan somehow found time in his busy schedule to take on the role of Music Director at Third Space, a 4,000 sq. foot, 2-story cafe, art gallery and entertainment space.   Evan and his partner, owner Chelsea Mae, opened their ‘dream come true' in the historic Sidway Building at 777 Main St. in Buffalo, last December. In the time since, he's poured his considerable passion for our city's music scene into making Third Space into a home-away-from home for regional artists, bands, poets and comedians.   During our chat, Evan told me about his life in music, his early inspirations, and his hopes for Third Space going forward.

This is our first week in our Advent series as we anticipate the coming of Jesus, celebrated at Christmas. Waiting tends to bring out the worst in us. It makes us anxious, irritable, and mean. Advent invites us to reimagine our waiting – it offers us a different perspective that waiting doesn't have to end with the worst in us, but that God can use waiting to form the best in us. This message is from our Sunday morning service on November 30th, 2025.We meet at The Simon (957 Main St., Louisville, CO 80027) on Sunday mornings at 10am.Christmas Services this year will be on Sunday, December 21st at 9:30am & 11am. *Kindred Kids will only be offered at the 9:30am service time. Connect with us:kindredchurch.co@kindredchurch.cofacebook.com/kindredchurch.co

A rookie FBI agent is swept up in a case that goes from Main St, USA, to the UK, Ukraine and Russia. Cyber-crime victims are everywhere. This is way bigger than Jim Craig thought. He travels to Ukraine to meet his counterparts. Over vodka and fine food in a dacha in the Ukrainian forest, they make a plan to go after the suspected cyber hackers.Hosted by Joe Tidy, the BBC's cyber correspondent – one of the few Western journalists to have met an alleged member of Evil Corp – and the BBC's Sarah Rainsford, who spent more than two decades reporting from Moscow.
