We discuss the complexities and outcomes of mixed marriages, as the host offers advice and personal anecdotes. Additionally, we share inspiring stories of individuals overcoming addiction through a powerful community and delve into the importance of seeking God's guidance in decision-making. Laura (email) – My now ex-husband promised to raise our kids Catholics, but he was not grounded in any faith and he told our kids that religion was just “pie in the sky”. Jamie - My 19-year-old has left the home several times and is dealing with some mental health issues and drugs, and no longer believes in God. What should we do? Rose Mary - My husband and I got married in the Catholic Church even though he was Methodist. My husband converted to the Catholic faith and he actually kept me in the Catholic Church. Natalie - My 19-year-old daughter is also smoking marijuana and is in a violent relationship with her boyfriend. How can I be loving to her? Patricia (email) – All of my 9 siblings married non-Catholics and not a single one of them is a Catholic any more. Steve - My sister, who fell away from the Catholic Church, received communion at Mass. She thinks that if she believes in the real presence, that's good enough. She says that priests shouldn't be able to concentrate Jesus since they are sinners. How do I respond? Denise - I married a Catholic but didn't realize he didn't practice the faith. He no longer goes to Mass with me and there is a huge void and it hurts our marriage. Raquel - I just stumbled on this station. I was speaking with a priest at confession about my husband and I going to different Churches on Sundays. He said I couldn't take the Eucharist anymore. What should I do?

This conversation is part of a special series, The Heart of Methodism. Eddie and Chris, who are both pastors in the United Methodist Church, will talk to guests who can help us dive a little deeper into Methodism and its history, theology, traditions, and future.Today's guest, Dr. John Wigger, is a professor at the University of Missouri, where he specializes in US social and cultural history, including religious history and the history of flight. His most recent book is about the mystery of hijacker D.B. Cooper, but he is also spent a lot of time researching and writing about the history of the Methodist movement in the United States. Dr. Wigger traces the roots of Methodism through other Protestant denominations, including the rise and growth of Pentecostalism.Resources:American Saint: Francis Asbury and the Methodists

Bishop Julius C. Trimble is the Resident Bishop of the Indiana Area of the United Methodist Church.Bishop Trimble has the personal mission to encourage all people with the love of Jesus Christ to rise to their highest potential. It is his commitment to his personal mission that led Bishop Trimble to create the “To Be Encouraged” Podcast along with co-host Rev.Dr. Brad MIller. Bishop Trimble says, “I am compelled by Jesus to share with you an encouraging word or two about Jesus, theology, the Bible, the pandemic, the environment, racism, voting rights, human sexuality, and the state of the United Methodist Church.” To Be Encouraged with Bishop Julius C. Trimble is to be published weekly and is available at www.tobeencouraged.com and all the podcast directories.https://www.inumc.org/bishop/office-of-the-bishop/To Be Encouraged - Episode 073: University of Evansville President Chris Pietruszkiewicz on Empowering Students to Think, Act, Serve, and Live. Part 1In episode 073 of "To Be Encouraged," Bishop Julius Trimble and co-host Rev. Dr. Brad Miller welcome University of Evansville President Chris Pietruszkiewicz, affectionately known as President P, to discuss his journey in education and faith, as well as the mission and impact of the University of Evansville (UE). Here are the key takeaways from this inspiring conversation:1. A Unique Path to Leadership:President P's journey to becoming the president of UE was not a traditional one. Coming from a background in law and having practiced in Washington, DC, he brought a different perspective to higher education. His experience shaped his faith journey and influenced how he envisions education in the United Methodist tradition, focusing on educating the whole person – mind, spirit, and heart.2. The Power of a Concise Mission:UE's mission statement, consisting of just 18 words, holds deep significance for the university and its students. The mission is to empower each student to think critically, act bravely, serve responsibly, and live meaningfully in a changing world. President P emphasizes the importance of not only academic success but also making a positive impact in the community, instilling a sense of purpose and responsibility in students.3. The United Methodist Connection:Bishop Julius C. Trimble highlights the historical relationship between the Methodist Church and higher education, dating back to the origins of Methodism at Oxford College. Methodism was born in a college setting, with a focus on rigorous study, accountability, and prayer. This connection continues through the establishment of Methodist-related colleges and universities. The relationship between the church and these institutions has been mutually beneficial, though there is room for further optimization.4. Affirmative Action and Diversity:Bishop Trimble commends college leaders, including President P, for their commitment to diversity and inclusion, both in education and economic opportunities. The United Methodist Church firmly supports affirmative action as a means to advance equality and social justice. The University of Evansville, among other institutions, strives to improve faculty, staff, and student body diversity, recognizing the importance of representation and equal access to education for all.5. Impact of Mission Beyond the University:Rev. Dr. Brad Miller emphasizes the significance of universities and organizations truly living out their mission statements. UE's mission goes beyond being a statement on the wall; it influences practical and meaningful actions that impact the wider community. Through education, service, and a focus on critical thinking, UE empowers students to create positive change in the world.Episode 073

How do you deal with change? Do you consider it inevitable? Do you not like change because a pocket full of coins is annoying? Jokes aside, Emily is asking today why it's so hard to affect change in certain church communities and why some changes in personal beliefs come with such high contrast. And Stephen goes on a fiery rant against "thoughts and prayers", fulfilling his role as the shows' angry atheist.Mentioned in the episode:  Sorites Paradox Wiki Black Mirror: Bandersnatch IMDB 141.

Join us as we talk at "the table" with Rudy Heintzelman and Kyle Gatlin.

A grandmother is sitting with her grandson and says, "In life, there are two wolves inside of you that are constantly in battle. The good wolf represents things like kindness, love, and joy while the bad wolf represents things like greed, hatred and fear." The grandson thinks about it for a moment then looks up at his grandmother and asks, "But grandmother, which one wins?" The grandmother answers with, "The one you feed."We think about the Self and our relationship with it. In addition to the parable, we ponder the ideas of Self embedded in concepts like the Inner Child, Internal Family Systems, personality typologies. Bonus questions include: is it possible to be codependent on God in the worshiper/divine relationship.Mentioned in the episode:  The One You Feed Podcast Matthew 7:12 - The Golden Rule The Artists Way by Julia Cameron Codependent No More by Melody Beattie John 14:6 - I Am The Way Luke 10 - The Prodigal Sons Support us: Join our Patreon community and buy us a drink at patreon.com/ravelpod for as little as $3/mo!

Labor Day is a U.S. federal holiday celebrated on the first Monday in September to honor and recognize the contributions of laborers to the development and achievements of the United States. As trade unions and labor movements reached their peak during the Industrial Revolution, the Central Labor Union and the Knights of Labor organized the first parade in New York City. In 1887, Oregon was the first state to make it an official public holiday. By the time it became an official federal holiday in 1894, thirty states in the U.S. officially celebrated Labor Day. On Labor Day in 1957, LIFE Magazine's cover featured Major David Simons and his hot air balloon flight, also talking about the asiatic flu threat. Meanwhile, The Saturday Evening Post wrote about the drastic toll life without parole prison sentences wrought and a warden's plea for drastic reform in the American concept of punishment. Originally hosted by Gene Autry, Just Entertainment was in 1957 hosted by sidekick Pat Buttram. Pat Buttram was born in Addison, Alabama on June 19th, 1915. The seventh child of a Methodist minister, he was set to follow in his father's footsteps when, just before his eighteenth birthday, he attended the 1933 World's Fair in Chicago. Station WLS sent an announcer to the fairgrounds for a remote broadcast interviewing fair attendees, and the announcer picked Pat as a "typical" visitor from the South. To everyone's delight and surprise, his comic observations and bits of country wisdom kept the announcer and the audience in stitches. WLS hired him for their National Barn Dance program, giving him a nation-wide audience. Pat soon became friends with Gene Autry. He went to Hollywood in the 1940s, appearing in more than forty Gene Autry pictures and became a regular on the Melody Ranch radio program. He later played Mr. Haney on CBS-TV's Green Acres. #countrymusic #geneautry #patbuttram #oldtimeradio #otr #1950s #podcast #radio #audiofiction #grandoleopry #radiodrama #goldenageofhollywood #western #yellowstone #laborday
