The same Spirit that hovered over the waters, empowered the prophets, and raised Jesus from the dead, is the same Spirit that lives in every believer. Allowing Him to control our lives leads to a new kind of living—one marked by the gifts and the fruits. To do this will require participation with Him and walking in the way of Jesus.

Meredith is easily one of the most interesting and unusual people we've ever had on the podcast, and her story is a testament to just how much small-town living appeals to all kinds of people, even people that you may not expect. This episode is all about how Meredith–a Marin County, California native–found herself in rural South Dakota, and what we can do to make our small towns more welcoming for all different kinds of people who want to make their lives here.  About Meredith: Meredith McMurray was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area, CA. She was home-schooled for all but one of her twelve grade school years. Then, in 2006, she enlisted into the US Marine Corps at age 18 and served four years active duty, deploying twice during that time. After an Honorable Discharge, Meredith began an exploration into the world of health and healing practices such as yoga, neuromuscular therapy, meditation, self-inquiry, and performing arts! She began learning Aerial Acrobatics in 2012, at first as a hobby. By 2016, Meredith began making a living off of teaching and performing Aerial Acrobatics. In May 2019, Meredith was presented with an opportunity to take over ownership of Aerial Arts Fairfax (IG account no longer managed), a local beloved Aerial Academy in Fairfax, CA. The offer was for Meredith to purchase the business and facilitate over 200 actively enrolled students to continue their training—or watch it close and cease to exist due to the original founder opting to retire earlier in 2019. Out of pure love for the art form (and a lack of awareness of what was to come), Meredith took a risk and invested five figures of borrowed money into purchasing the business. Aerial Arts Fairfax had eight great months under Meredith's leadership, and then March 2020 came along... Obliterated by the statewide lockdowns and dysfunctional social practices implemented by the majority in the San Francisco Bay Area, Meredith consciously chose to no longer serve that community with her business nor her physical presence. Meredith had heard former Governor Kristi Noem say, "All South Dakotans are Essential." So, after sixteen total months of fighting to regain any sense of meaning or purpose in California, Meredith packed her Prius and drove to South Dakota with no plan. Once she arrived, Meredith was able to shake hands with Gov. Kristi Noem and thank her for standing up for the people of South Dakota and their occupations. Then, Meredith was able to work a seasonal job in South Dakota and earn enough to pay herself back from the five-figure financial wound created by the State of California. After that, Meredith moved across state lines four times before eventually returning back to South Dakota, where she has been living for the last 2.5 years. By no means is Meredith walking off into the sunset... She continues to wake up every morning wondering how she can best serve the community, make real friends, and express important messages in whatever form. Please enjoy the speech Meredith recently gave at the Black Hills Aerial Cup: https://youtu.be/Y15XccuXMFw?si=IGgYzsz8jtsfQqpA In this episode, we cover: How Meredith went from Marin County, CA to small-town South Dakota What she loves about small towns What she'd love for her own small-town experience Resources Mentioned: Freedom Fest: https://freedomfest.com/ Speech for anyone who's ever felt "non-essential”: https://youtu.be/Y15XccuXMFw?si=IGgYzsz8jtsfQqpA Meredith's website: www.DanglingDance.com Get in touch: DanglingDance@gmail.com Small-Town Shout-Out!

Today I'm going to share a personal experience of navigating some complex emotions during my daughter's wedding. Let's talk about the importance of making room for all feelings, including joy and grief, and acknowledge the societal expectations surrounding emotional responses to significant life events. Key Takeaways: Emotional maturity involves holding multiple truths at once. It's okay to feel both joy and grief simultaneously. Cultural expectations can create pressure around how we should feel during significant events. Mixed emotions are a natural part of the human experience. Self-judgment can intensify emotional struggles. Making room for all feelings is essential for healing. Emotions are not problems; they are experiences to be felt. You don't have to wait for the hard times to celebrate the good. All parts of you are welcome in your emotional journey. Healing involves embracing complexity and allowing all emotions to coexist.

In this week's message Pastor Gabe teaches from Acts 3, where Peter and John stop to engage a man who had been overlooked his entire life—and through their presence and obedience, Resurrection power is released. This message unpacks how prayer, presence, service, and invitation create space for God to move in us and through us this coming Easter.

What happens when a cookbook becomes more than recipes? When it meets you at 4:44 AM as you're cleaning bottles, staring out the window, wondering what happened to you? That's exactly what Dina Delicia Gonsar accomplishes with her new book "At The Kitchen Sink" - a refreshing blend of practical recipes and soul-nourishing devotionals.Returning to Making Room, Dina takes us behind the scenes of her publishing journey, revealing how years of seemingly rejected proposals transformed into perfect divine timing. Those waiting seasons allowed her to incorporate profound personal experiences - including her battle with cancer and postpartum depression - creating devotionals with authentic depth rather than surface-level encouragement.Unlike traditional cookbooks organized by meal type, Dina structures her book around the actual rhythms of family life. "Carpool Warriors" offers meals you can eat in the car between sports practices. "Mom Minute" provides quick personal nourishment when you haven't had a moment to yourself all day. Even "eating off your kid's plate" becomes an opportunity for creativity - like adding protein powder to abandoned cereal milk.What resonates most powerfully is Dina's liberation from rigid mealtime rules. Gone are the days of insisting on elaborate multi-component dinners at precise times. Instead, she embraces flexibility: sometimes dinner happens at 4:30 before soccer practice, sometimes it's breakfast foods at night, sometimes it's dessert with dad when he gets home late. This adaptability doesn't diminish the importance of gathering; rather, it makes consistent family time possible amidst life's constantly shifting demands.Through it all, Dina reframes everyday cooking as meaningful ministry rather than mundane labor. When nobody's applauding the person wiping Cheerios off the floor for the fifth time, her book stands as a reminder that this too is sacred work.Ready to transform your relationship with mealtime?

Making Room for the Wrong (broadcast date: 03/23/2025)

Moses has returned with new tablets after shattering the first pair. He has negotiated not only forgiveness for the Children of Israel after the Golden Calf debacle, he has also made an agreement with God that He would dwell amongst the people. So Moses presents the Mishkan project and asks for the people to contribute to it. But this is no ordinary project, it will create the circumstances for God's presence to dwell amongst the people. They will need to bring their very souls, not just their gold and silver. In this episode we explore the nature of this giving and what it entails.

When the church is fulfilling its mission mandate to make disciples and baptize in the name of Jesus, growth occurs. Today we celebrate all that God has been doing among us. But we also have an eye to the future and are ready to make room for the next generation of people who will come to Christ.

Have you ever noticed that New Year's resolutions feel forced? Like, we try to start fresh in the middle of winter when everything is still dead, cold, and in hibernation? But then spring comes, and suddenly, there's this urge to clean, reset, and start fresh for real? It's not just a coincidence—this is actually how God designed it. In the Bible, the real new year starts in the spring, not in January. That's when everything is being revived—nature, energy, even our own motivation to do better. And this applies to our homes, our bodies, and—most importantly—our marriages.Just like we do a deep clean of our house in the spring—getting rid of the junk, dusting off neglected spaces, and making room for something fresh—our marriages need the same kind of reset. Because over time, clutter builds up—not just in our homes, but in our relationships. Unspoken resentment, bad habits, distractions, and just everyday busyness can start suffocating connection. And if we don't clear it out, it slowly kills intimacy and trust.So today, we're talking about spring cleaning your marriage—how to clear out what's been weighing you down, rebuild what's been neglected, and step into a fresh season together. And let's be real… we're not perfect at this. We've had our own seasons where we let things pile up—whether it's unresolved arguments, lack of intentional time, or just getting distracted by life. So today, we're going to unpack the practical ways to declutter your marriage, fight fair, rebuild intimacy, and make room for growth.Think about your relationship right now. Is there something that feels heavy? Is there an area where you feel distant? Maybe it's time for a reset—because if we don't clean out what's not working, we can't make room for something better.”Connect with us to get more Turned Onwww.turnedon.comFollow on IG @angelikenorrie and @davidnorrie.turnedonOfficial FB Community Page https://www.facebook.com/TurnedOnCommunity

Proximity; just because you're close doesn't mean you're in covenant.

But just because we're on the Web doesn't make us “net smart”, another term from Rheingold's extensive catalogue of pithy idioms. As anyone with a pocket supercomputer can attest, having information on tap doesn't necessarily result in better attention management, boost our critical thinking, or confer a greater capacity to engage in prosocial collective action…but we can choose to allocate ourselves to developing the skills we need to thrive on this electronic frontier. And who better to help us than Rheingold himself, a legendary figure whose reporting and counsel from the frothy edge can teach us all great volumes about how to deepen our humanity in technologically-augmented worlds.Disclaimer: the audio and video on Howard's end of the recording drifted unevenly and sometimes minutes away from each other…and while I put in several extra days of effort to repair it all, you will notice moments where they don't line up.

Hi Mamas, Ever feel like some people in your life are draining your energy rather than adding to it? It's time to embrace a Thank You, Next mindset… because your peace is worth protecting. Today, we're diving into the power of letting go… not with bitterness, but with gratitude. Some people come into our lives to lift us up, while others teach us what we don't want and where we need to set boundaries.

Today's Scripture:John 2:12-22The Jerusalem Temple was impressive with a powerful history in the spiritual and political life of Israel.There were 4 courts where people came seeking fellowship with God – the Court of priests, Israel, women, and gentiles.People throughout the Roman Empire came to Jerusalem for the Feast of Passover.The court of entry, the only place where non-Jews were allowed, was cluttered and clogged by stuff in the way.Jesus came to open up the way for God's life to flow to all who seek.

In this episode of the podcast, I dive into a variety of Cubs-related topics as the offseason winds down. With pitchers and catchers reporting soon—especially early for the Cubs and Dodgers due to their Tokyo series—it's time to assess recent moves, potential signings, and projections for the upcoming season. Key Topics Covered:

Receive God's great gift - for free.Grace is the free unmerited favor of God, towards the undeserving and the ill-deserving. God offered us good which we did not deserve, we had no claims on, it simply came from God's grace.Support the show

Traditional Worship | Bishop Bob Hayes |  Giving is an expression of our faith and a way to reflect God's boundless STEWARDSHIP. In the month of January, we will embrace the theme of making room — creating space in our lives for God's work to flourish. By giving, we open doors for new ministries to grow, the gospel to reach more people, and lives to be transformed. It's not just about finances; it's about making room for hope, grace and love to take root in the world around us. Together, we have the opportunity to be part of something greater, making room for God to move powerfully in and through us.

Respair is kicking off the year by sharing a new project that we're proud to partner with and share with you! Welcome to Carceral Fictions & Abolitionist Realities, a series of narrative essays that reflect on emergent themes from conversations with Detroit-based organizers and futurists committed to abolition of police and prisons. This is Episode 1, entitled Alienation from Ourselves, Each Other, and Our Needs. Joined by a chorus of voices and visionaries, Detroit-based artist Lauren Williams invites us to consider roadmaps to futures we hope for, through a focus on the everyday & the contradictions of neoliberal philosophy. Should everything really be for sale, will the market protect the worthy? First, a foundation: How do our ways of working separate us from our power and possibility? What exactly is neoliberalism, how did it become the dominant social and economic logic of U.S. civil society? What does any of this have to do with abolition? To answer that last question first, it comes down to criminalization and control. Detroit's 2013 bankruptcy and civic fights about water access serve as examples of how accepting a logic of separation weakens our ability to challenge social problems that affect people in very connected ways. Williams illuminates the short path from privatization to deprivation, before limning the difference between the state's compulsion to watch & the human need to be seen. The series is presented in partnership with Making Room for Abolition, a body of work that imagines a world without police and prisons by making speculative worlds through the lens of a home. It was dreamed up, written and produced by Lauren Williams; essays were co-produced by Ayinde Jean-Baptiste; and the audio was engineered by Conor Anderson. Featured guests include Nick Buckingham, Curtis Renee, Tawana Petty, PG Watkins, Angel McKissic, Monica Lewis-Patrick, Nate Mullen, Sirrita Darby, Kim Sherrobi, Monique Thompson, and Myrtle Thompson-Curtis. Voice actors who read various excerpts from references are credited on each episode. Our theme music is the instrumentals from a song called Detroit Summer by Invincible and Waajeed, courtesy of Emergence Media. Full time-stamped transcripts are available at www.makingroom.online/essays. This show is presented in partnership with Respair Production & Media.

Welcome to Carceral Fictions & Abolitionist Realities, a series of narrative essays that reflect on emergent themes from conversations with Detroit-based organizers and futurists committed to abolition of police and prisons. Interweaving research with brief dispatches from speculative abolitionist futures, each episode draws together the voices of people working toward food justice, water access, educational equity, restorative justice, and Black liberation to connect thematic currents surrounding the abolition of police and prisons. In each episode, we look closely at the kinds of fictions that shape our current attachments to policing, prisons, and punishment to examine where they come from and how they affect us. At the same time, you'll hear us explore abolitionist realities that counter these fictions and open up other ways of being.

In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages with Rev Darrell Hamilton to explore the significance of Christmas through the lens of the Black Christian tradition. They discuss the rich history of churches in New England, the implications of the virgin birth, and the contrasting understandings of Jesus and the Christ. The conversation emphasizes the gospel's message for marginalized communities and the importance of reclaiming the spiritual meaning of Christmas amidst consumerism. In this conversation, Tim and his guest explore the themes of justice, responsibility, and the role of faith in addressing societal issues.
