Blue Sky host Bill Burke first met Scott Nash nearly 30 years ago, when both were working in the cable television business.  In the years since, Scott has gone on to a successful career in publishing, both as an illustrator and an author, and with his wife Nancy co-founded Illustration Institute on a small island in Maine.  In this episode, Scott describes his outgoing, experimental, and optimistic nature and how these traits have led to his remarkable success in publishing, art direction, and non-profit entrepreneurship.     Chapters:   00:00 Introduction & Early Childhood  Scott shares that he moved nine times before second grade, which taught him to make new friends and thrive on connection, fueling his optimism and artistic development.  03:47 Education and Early Career  Scott Nash discusses his education at the Swain School of Design and Cranbrook, an experimental school that shaped his playful approach to design.   09:05 Early Days of Cable TV  Scott highlights how their 'handmade' approach to branding for networks like Nickelodeon, which included assigning the color orange and constantly changing logos, stood out in an industry that traditional executives weren't taking seriously.  14:20 The Flat Stanley Phenomenon  Scott Nash discusses his work illustrating Flat Stanley, a book that became a widespread educational phenomenon due to teachers encouraging kids to create and mail their own Flat Stanley figures.   19:16 Illustrating vs. Writing Own Books  Scott Nash reflects on the differences and joys of illustrating books for other authors, like Flat Stanley, versus writing and illustrating his own works, such as The High Skies Adventures of Blue Jay the Pirate.   23:05 Defining Illustration & Illustration Institute's Founding  Scott Nash defines illustration as 'visual art that enhances a specific narrative,' encompassing comics, graphic novels, and even narrative pottery. He explains how his passion for academia and 'rogue schools' led him to establish the illustration department at Maine College of Art and, later, co-found the Illustration Institute.  31:19 Highlighting Illustrators & Their Impact  Scott Nash shares his love for classic children's book illustrators like Garth Williams, known for Stuart Little and Homer Price, and Robert McCloskey, famous for Make Way for Ducklings. He recounts the emotional and intellectual impact of Illustration Institute's exhibitions, which showcase original works and highlight the often-uncredited illustrators behind beloved stories.  34:27 AI's Impact on Creativity and Authenticity  Scott Nash discusses the cyclical nature of creative trends, noting a shift from highly creative, handmade works in the early days of cable to a more corporate, homogenized phase. He expresses critical optimism about AI, hoping it will spur a countertrend towards more authentic, handmade creations.  39:59 Ethical Concerns and Public Voice in AI  Scott Nash expresses concern about the business-driven rush to implement AI without a clear ethical framework, fearing it could lead to low-quality content and potential harm if not properly regulated.   42:45 Future of Illustration Institute & Closing  Scott Nash details the Illustration Institute's future plans, including developing traveling exhibitions for libraries across the country, such as 'The Great State of Illustration in Maine' and the ambitious 'Illustrious Saurus,' which explores dinosaur depictions from paleontology to fantasy. He emphasizes the institute's mission to highlight illustration's critical rigor and broad appeal, connecting Maine's artistic reach with global themes and sharing his childlike enthusiasm for storytelling. 

In this talk, recorded live at The Cause to Live For 2025, Josh Turner (Hull Vineyard) spoke on how to be a generation who are marked by the fire of God. He reminded us that one moment can change everything and every single day has the potential to be Pentecost.Drawing from Acts 2, he unpacks what happens when the Holy Spirit moves with power, purity, and presence. With stories of quiet revival, transformed lives, and God's unmistakable work among Gen Z, this talk is an invitation to surrender, to step out boldly, and to experience the fire of God afresh.

God’s love heals the deepest places. Discover identity in Christ, inner healing, and how to hear God without fear. What if disruption is actually an invitation from Love to begin again? In this heartfelt conversation, Catherine Toon and author Felicia Murrell explore how God’s love restores our true identity, calms our nervous system, and leads us into spiritual healing and wholeness. You’ll learn practical ways to move from self-judgment to compassion, from suspicion to curiosity, and from striving to experiencing God in the present moment. Felicia shares rich wisdom on listening to your body (“I am your body, and I want you to know…”) and how kindness helps us drop from fight/flight into peace. Together we unpack living from the Tree of Life instead of the knowledge of good and evil, holding both our ontological oneness and our beautiful differences—without diminishing anyone. Scripture threads include: Psalm 139 (God’s intimate design), Zephaniah 3:17 (Love sings over you), Luke 15 (coming to ourselves and turning toward home), and Ephesians 2:10 (God’s workmanship—His poem). The takeaway: when the “only way forward is toward,” we can move toward God, toward each other, and even toward our own hearts with grace. Practical application: Try Felicia’s prompt: “I am your body, and I want you to know…”—write unedited for 5 minutes. Notice what Love highlights. Ask: “Holy Spirit, what’s the most loving thing I can do right now?” This simple shift nurtures Christian identity, deepens spiritual transformation, and helps you hear God’s voice in everyday life.

Scrubs and Subpoenas: Medication Missteps - Marked by MedicineSUMMARY: Scrubs and Subpoenas: Medication Missteps is a podcast series that delves into the critical issue of medication errors in healthcare, a leading cause of preventable harm to patients. Through real-life malpractice cases, this series provides insights into the causes of medication errors, their consequences, and actionable strategies to prevent them. Each episode serves as a cautionary tale and a guide to fostering a culture of safety, accountability, and continuous improvement in medication management.     When a routine prescription refill goes wrong, an FNP is slapped with a malpractice suit. This episode features a 20-year-old female patient permanently scarred by a seemingly “harmless” corticosteroid. We examine how dosing instructions can be open to interpretation, spelling out trouble for patients and providers. While no deaths occurred here, this case is a solemn reminder that going on “autopilot” as an NP can result in disaster.    ---Nurses may be able to complete an accredited CE activity featuring content from this podcast and earn CE hours provided from Elite Learning by Colibri Healthcare.

FraudSMART, the fraud awareness initiative led by Banking & Payments Federation Ireland (BPFI), is issuing a fresh warning to consumers, particularly those over the age of 50, to be on alert as highly convincing investment scams, promising guaranteed and profitable returns, continue to rise. The latest trend has seen a marked increase in the use of pop-up adverts online and on social media, featuring fake, AI-generated endorsements from celebrities as FraudSMART joins forces with football legend Niall Quinn to launch a new awareness campaign. Niamh Davenport, Head of Financial Crime with BPFI, said: "Scammers are continually finding new and complex ways of luring people into investment scams, often targeting people over 50 who may be looking for an opportunity to top up their finances ahead of retirement or to boost their current pension. In recent months, FraudSMART members have noticed a particular rise in 'pop-up' adverts featuring fake, AI-generated endorsements from well-regarded and trusted celebrities. These scams can promote a wide range of supposed investment opportunities, from cryptocurrencies to more traditional options such as bonds or shares. They can be difficult to recognise as fake, leading to an increasing number of people falling victim." Describing how fraudsters are catching people out, Ms Davenport continued: "Consumers who click on "Learn More" in the pop-up advert are asked to fill in a short form with their contact details so that they can receive more information. This is followed by a call, needless to say not from the featured celebrity, but from a so-called 'financial advisor' of an investment company. The 'advisor' often uses the names and branding of well-recognised banks and investment firms, with some fraudsters even going so far as to create a 'copy-cat' profile on social media of a real employee or 'agent' from an investment firm to convince people of their legitimacy and may even send an email with a link to what looks like a high-end and very convincing brochure. Once the victim is convinced to make an investment and has authorised the payment, as soon as the money has reached the criminal's account, the criminal will quickly transfer the money onwards to numerous other accounts, often abroad, where it is then cashed out." Gardaí have recorded a 21% increase in investment scams in the three months up to October 2025 Niall Smith, Detective Sergeant at the Garda National Economic Crime Bureau, stated: "Last year, almost €31 million was reported stolen in Ireland through investment fraud, up from €14 million in 2021. While overall reports of investment fraud have remained consistent with 2024 levels, a concerning 21% increase has been recorded in the three months up to October 2025, with large sums of money reported stolen. Losses can start anywhere from €250 on a crypto scam, but for bigger investment scams involving bonds and shares, average individual losses are ranging between €30,000 - €40,000, and unfortunately, there are victims who have lost multiples of this. While the amounts may be high, victims are not necessarily wealthy, but often people who have worked hard to build up a pension and are looking for a last opportunity to top up their finances ahead of or during retirement. We would like to advise all members of the public, particularly those over the age of 50, to be on alert for these scams and if you believe you may be victim of investment fraud, to report it to your bank and An Garda Síochána as soon as possible. Always seek trusted advice before making any investments, and if an offer sounds too good to be true, then unfortunately it probably is." FraudSMART joins forces with football legend Niall Quinn to launch national awareness campaign FraudSMART has joined forces with football legend Niall Quinn to launch a nationwide campaign to raise awareness about these investment scams, the red flags to look out for and tips on how people can protect themselves. Mr Quinn stated:...

6. The Cold War Context and the Tragedy of a Government-Controlled Space Program. Bob Zimmerman discusses how the Apollo 8 mission was embedded in the global Cold War and the extreme chaos of 1968, marked by political turmoil and assassinations. The space race was intended as a demonstration that America, as a free society, could achieve great things better than the Soviet top-down system. While the astronauts were military veterans, the author disputes the notion that NASA was a military operation, emphasizing that it was run by civilian engineers and managers. Ironically, despite the goal of celebrating freedom, President Kennedy adopted a centralized, top-down, government-run structure—a "Soviet style" program. This centralized approach proved to be a tragedy, as the mission became viewed as a singular stunt. Once the moon landing was achieved, the program lost political and financial support, resulting in a "dead end" for future solar system exploration. 2014 GOLDEN MOON

Pastor Dana Kidder preaching from John 17:14-17 at Redemption Bible Church in Bellefontaine, OH.

This week Pastor Michael continues our "Marked" series teaching about being Marked by Fellowship and Friendship.  We also had the opportunity to honor Pastor Val and Pastor Michael for Pastor Appreciation, and celebrate Commitment Sunday by turning in our building pledge cards and prayer blocks.  Romans 12:1-2, Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 

What does it mean to go all in with Jesus? In a world where commitment is optional, Jesus models full allegiance to God — and invites us to do the same. Baptism isn't just a symbol; it's a bold declaration that you belong to Him. Whether you're exploring faith or ready to take your next step, this message will challenge and inspire you to live with no turning back.

Welcome to the final installment of SPOOKY and Scott Wells' story of what happened one day in high school, that cemented his belief in the afterlife (as well at the Ouija Board!)! This Day of the Dead weekend, drop down into this last episode, filled with sweetness and sorrow, with hardship and abandoned mental wards, and understand that the world of the Dead is far closer than we understand. Scott's tale is terrifying, jaw-dropping, and not for the faint of heart. But I have belief in you listeners, that you'll be able to hear Scott's tale and not pass out from fear!

This Sunday is Let It Cook Sunday.  In service we celebrated Trunk or Treat winners, heard testimonies, received a new Covenant Member and heard Brenda  Wehrly, our Community Life Director, recap the previous 5 weeks of Pastor Michael's teachings. We also enjoyed an extended relational break, along with hearing what people are believing for in the next 20 years, and how to come prepared to Commitment Sunday next Sunday.
