Voices in My Head (The Rick Lee James Podcast) Episode 614: From Parasocial to Personal: Mister Rogers, Superman, and The Accessorized Bible with guest David Dault Hello, friends, this one is a fun episode for me because it's a crossover between all three of my shows: Voices in My Head (through Rick Lee James Podcast), Welcome to the Neighborhood: A Mister Rogers Tribute Podcast, and Truth, Justice, and the Way: Superman and Spirituality Podcast.

David and I have had ongoing conversations for a long time now about faith, culture, and the stories that shape us, and today we are centering that conversation around his excellent new book, The Accessorized Bible. We talk about how Scripture gets “accessorized” by our assumptions and our agendas, how interpretation has material consequences, and why reading responsibly means paying attention to the lives of the people most affected by our theology. And yes, because it's us, we also get into Mister Rogers, Superman, and parasocial relationships. I'm glad you're here.

Mister Rogers once challenged us by saying: “Imagine what our real neighborhoods would be like if each of us offered just one kind word to another person.”When he gave us these instructions, it wasn't hard to look at the neighbors to the left and right of our home, and then imagine friendly conversations with them. But what about the neighbors we pass on the street everyday on our commute — those sleeping under bridges, at bus stops, in tents.As temperatures recently dropped to negative-15 degrees in Milwaukee, the health and wellness of these people became front of mind. And an organization in Milwaukee that for nearly a decade has been extending kindness to our neighbors experiencing homelessness continued their mission in subzero conditions.On this episode, we talk with Street Angels co-founders Shelly Sarasin and Eva Welch about how a change meeting at a warming shelter in 2016 grew into an award-winning nonprofit with an unwavering mission.#####Host: Kim ShineGuest Host: Carolann Grzybowski

Tuesday’s surprising news came out of Steel City in western Pennsylvania.  Mike Tomlin stepped down as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers. It’s hard to believe that the 53-year old Tomlin had been the top man in Pittsburgh for 19 seasons. There have been only three Pittsburgh Steelers head coaches since the National Football League merged with the American Football League 55 years ago in 1970. Steelers head coach Chuck Noll started his head coaching career in Pittsburgh in 1969 by going 1-13.  His second season brought a 5-9 mark in 1970 and then just 6-8 in 1971. In today’s NFL, most other NFL teams would have fired future Hall-of-Fame Coach Chuck Noll after three years on “Black Monday” last week. You must win NOW, because fans and social media are all about instant gratification today. The Steelers transformed from an NFL laughing stock to 6-time Super Bowl champions Coach Chuck Noll’s fourth year 1972 Steelers (led by Louisiana Tech quarterback Terry Bradshaw and a host of impressive young draft picks) turned Pittsburgh into a winner by going 11-3.  The talented young Steelers lost in the AFC championship game that year to the last NFL team to complete an unbeaten season – the 1972 Miami Dolphins. From that point, the 1970’s “Super Steelers” went on to win four Super Bowl titles in just six seasons. The NFL franchise in Pittsburgh had never captured a single NFL title since the team began in 1933.  Coach Chuck Noll’s teams transformed the image of the Pittsburgh Steelers from lovable losers to a tough band of black-and-gold monsters on the football field. Noll put in 23 seasons as the Steelers’ head coach before handing the baton to Bill Cowher in 1992. Coach Cowher’s Steelers added the team’s fifth Super Bowl title (“One for the thumb”) in 2005.  The very intense Bill Cowher retired after the 2006 season after 15 years of NFL success in Pittsburgh. Mike Tomlin took the reins in Pittsburgh in 2007 The 34-year old former defensive coordinator with the Minnesota Vikings immediately bonded with his new team and its very boisterous loyal fans. Like Chuck Noll and Bill Cowher, Mike Tomlin’s college and NFL coaching experience had been on the defensive side of the football. Did you know that Mike Tomlin (the college football player) was a 2nd team All-Conference wide receiver at the College of William & Mary in Virginia?  He became a defensive backs coach upon entering the coaching profession. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers quickly added Pittsburgh’s sixth Super Bowl trophy in 2008. This endeared the team’s new coach to millions of Terrible Towel waving Steelers fans around the world. Mike Tomlin’s Steelers reached the big game once again in 2010 but lost 31-25 to (ironically) Super Bowl MVP quarterback Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Ironically, the now 42-year old Aaron Rodgers signed to play quarterback for Coach Tomlin’s Steelers this past season. Rodgers led Pittsburgh to a 10-7 regular season record.  The Steelers were embarrassed 30-6 – at home – by the Houston Texans on Monday night in the wild-card round. Less than one day after Monday night’s ugly loss to Houston, Coach Mike Tomlin elected to voluntarily step down as the Steelers’ head coach Tuesday afternoon.  He finished with 193 regular season wins. That tied him with former Steelers coaching legend Chuck Noll for 9th place in NFL history. The pressure of winning in Pittsburgh takes a toll on its head coaches The Steelers’ six Super Bowl titles place significant pressure on the current head coach to add another piece of hardware into the team’s trophy case. Mike Tomlin’s Pittsburgh squads never finished below .500 in any of his 19 seasons. His Steelers won the AFC North eight times including this season’s 10-7 team. Coach Tomlin’s Steelers teams were defensively talented but inconsistent on offense.  Tomlin’s offensive units have further declined after the 2021 retirement of likely Hall-of-Fame quarterback Ben Roethlisberger.  One by one, offensive coordinators have struggled and been sent packing from Pittsburgh several times during Mike Tomlin’s 19 years at the helm. Monday night’s 30-6 loss – at home – in the opening round again highlighted Mike Tomlin’s difficulty at winning playoff games.  This week’s defeat was the Steelers’ seventh straight in the NFL playoffs. The loss tied Coach Tomlin with former Cincinnati Bengals head coach Marvin Lewis for the most consecutive playoff defeats in NFL history. Ouch. The pressure to win a post-season game seems to have been the final breaking point for Pittsburgh Coach Mike Tomlin.  He looked ready to take a lengthy sabbatical from his coaching responsibilities.  Coach Tomlin is considered a likely candidate to work for one of the television networks as a studio host or analyst in the broadcast booth next season. Former New Orleans Saints coach Sean Payton “retired” from the team in 2022 but took a job working as a studio host for FOX Sports that fall.  Payton then returned to the sidelines the following year in 2023 to become the Denver Broncos head coach. It’s likely that Mike Tomlin will patrol the football sidelines as either a head coach or defensive coordinator for another team at some point in the future. In the meantime, here’s hoping that Coach Tomlin will enjoy a very well deserved break. Jump ball!  Who wants to be the new Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? Let’s examine the positives first. Job security – There have been just three coaches in the past 55 seasons.  The Steelers ownership (the Rooney family) is the most patient in all of professional sports.  Getting a job as head coach of the Pittsburgh Steelers is, perhaps, the safest job in the NFL. Fan support – Is anything better than seeing 65,000 gold-colored Terrible Towels being waved in support of your team at every home game? Yes, there is! It’s when you see 20,000 or more Terrible Towels being waved by fans at your opponent’s stadium on road games!  Only the Dallas Cowboys may have as many loyal football fans as the Steelers. A livable, lovable city – Pittsburgh is one of America’s top major metropolitan areas in terms of the cost of living and safety.  The Steel City (much like New Orleans) has a very unique local population which fervently follows their beloved NFL franchise for 365 days per year. And now…a few of the negatives. Expectations are sky high – every year!  Mike Tomlin appeared to be one of the most even-tempered head coaches in NFL history.  Pittsburgh is the city which was home to Mister Rogers (the PBS children’s TV star – not the quarterback).  Football fans and media in Pittsburgh reminded Coach Tomlin (daily) that he had lost six consecutive post-season games leading up to Monday night’s playoff game versus Houston. The Steelers have six Super Bowl trophies in their display case.  The next head coach will feel immediate pressure to win playoff games again – quickly. Can the new head coach turn around the Steelers’ pop gun offense?  Aaron Rodgers was a “band-aid” type of quarterback for the Steelers this season.  The 42-year old legend could not and should not be attempting to scramble or run from freight train-sized NFL defensive linemen anymore.  Steelers rookie quarterback Will Howard never left the bench during his first pro season.  Pittsburgh’s major investment in wide receiver D.K. Metcalf appears to be shaky after Year #1 with the team.  The Steelers need more speedy receivers who can reliably catch the football under pressure. Does the new coach look the part in Pittsburgh?  Mike Tomlin, Bill Cowher, and Chuck Noll had “the look” of someone intense enough and tough enough to command this rugged city’s pro football team. Projecting a personal toughness and strength will (initially) capture the hearts of Steeler Nation. Who does SwampSwami see as the next Pittsburgh Steelers head coach? A. Curt Cignetti Win or lose this coming Monday night vs. the University of Miami, Indiana Hoosiers football coach Curt Cignetti checks all of the boxes needed to turn the Pittsburgh Steelers into a top contender again. Did I say that the 64-year old college football coach is a Pittsburgh native?  Curt Cignetti signed a 7-year contract extension with the Hoosiers this fall.  Can the Steelers afford to pay for the buyout for his Indiana contract? Yes. Would they consider paying a sizable buyout in order to get Cignetti to Pittsburgh? Unlikely.  The Steelers’ ownership is notoriously thrifty.  B. Houston Texans’ head coach DeMeco Ryans Ryans is only 41 years of age (a year younger than this year’s Steelers quarterback Aaron Rodgers). The former All-Pro NFL linebacker has won ten or more games in each of his first three seasons as head coach of the Houston Texans.  Pittsburgh would need to provide significant compensation (draft picks and a lot of cash) to Houston in order to lure DeMeco Ryans to come coach in Steel City. Why would Ryans prefer Pittsburgh over Houston?  Have you ever lived in Houston during its six months of summer? C. One of these four relatively young NFL defensive coordinators Some names being floated today include Minnesota Vikings D-coordinator Mike Flores. He was formerly the head coach for the Miami Dolphins.  Flores’ exit from Miami became a bit messy, though.   My list of other top candidates includes Seattle Seahawks defensive guru Allen Durde, Green Bay’s Jeff Hafley, and Jesse Minter from the Los Angeles Chargers. There you have it!    SwampSwami’s list of his six top candidates for the Pittsburgh Steelers head coaching job! One name that I intentionally omitted was Notre Dame head coach Marcus Freeman.  He has been quoted recently saying he had no interest in a pro football head coaching position. Then again, don’t coaches ALWAYS say something like that – right before they leave? The post Tomlin out in Pittsburgh – Who Wants the Best Coaching job in the NFL? appeared first on SwampSwamiSports.com.

In this episode of States of Discovery, we continue our Orlando adventure with a journey through the city's soulful mix of food, art, and local culture. From a MICHELIN-recommended brunch spot to a stroll through Mister Rogers' beloved alma mater, and from Tiffany glass masterpieces to a Filipino fine dining experience, this episode captures the creativity and community that make Orlando truly one-of-a-kind.Join hosts Marisa & Sara as they explore the heart of Orlando and Winter Park through the voices of the people shaping its story—chefs, curators, and community leaders who remind us that the city's magic isn't just found in its theme parks, but in its neighborhoods, kitchens, and art galleries.Featured Stops in Orlando:Se7en Bites (Milk District, Orlando) – Chef Trina Gregory shares her story behind this MICHELIN-recommended spot serving nostalgic Southern comfort food with a modern twist.

Mister Rogers made it famous, but Jesus said it first: "Love your neighbor." You can't change the world by minding your own business, and Jesus never intended us to keep love at a distance.

We long for a clearer sense of God's calling in our lives, but knowing where to start can be more than half the battle. What if we could learn from a trusted guide who's already walked the path? If you're in leadership, what would you give to shadow someone like Queen Elizabeth II? Or if you're an artist, what would you give to spend a year with Madeleine L'Engle or Michelangelo? What if you're longing for courage and you could take notes from George Washington or Harriet Tubman? How might God shape you through the example of faithful believers and strengthen you to become who He created you to be? Journey with a Giant introduces the transformative practice of walking with a spiritual giant. Based on the “cloud of witnesses” described in Hebrews 12 and illustrated through the author's experience walking with Mister Fred Rogers—America's favorite neighbor—spiritual director Lori Melton guides readers on a one-year adventure that offers a unique approach to spiritual formation.This structured yet flexible guide includes: • weekly reflections• testimonials from fellow pilgrims• monthly instructions and tasks• prompts for recording your focus, goals, resources, and insights• guided prayer to end each month• reflection questions• journaling spaceWhether you choose to learn from Mister Rogers or select your own spiritual mentor, this journey will help you cultivate a closer relationship with God, uncover new insights about yourself, and take meaningful steps toward pursuing God's unique calling for you.Get the Book: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/764110/journey-with-a-giant-by-lori-g-melton/About the AuthorLori G.

(ORIGINAL AIRDATE: September 11, 2020) Hello, neighbor! Will and Lucas get down to tackling a true titan of children's television, Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. They cover a brief history of the man himself, his amazing outfits and his innate charisma and showmanship before settling into an episode and ruminating on the big question: Does Mister Rogers' Neighborhood hang with today's crop of kid's entertainment?

On this episode of The Karen Kenney Show, we're talking about hope.What it really means, why it sometimes gets a bad rap, and how we can look at it through a bunch of different lenses. I share why hope isn't just some fluffy, pie-in-the-sky idea - but actually a powerful mindset and a skill that we can practice every day, especially when the world feels crazy, overwhelming or out of control. We talk about how hope is more than just a feeling… it's also a way of thinking, a call to action, and a belief in the possibility of a better future! I get into the idea of “learned hopefulness,” and how it's wicked interesting that hope actually needs a little uncertainty or negativity to get activated. Plus, I share stories from Greek mythology, psychology, and even a little Mister Rogers - to show how hope can be a guiding light, even when things look and feel tough. One of my big takeaways is that hope isn't passive.It's not about just wishing things would get better, it's about believing we can make a positive difference and then getting our ass in gear and actually doing something about it. I talk about the importance of shifting our perspective, training our minds to look for the good, the beautiful, and the holy…And how our individual actions can ripple out to create bigger change in our families, communities, and the world. If you're feeling a little low on hope, I invite you to join me in practicing it!Visualize the future you want, “walk as if” your dreams are already happening, and remember that hope can be an act of resistance and a source of strength. And if you want to go deeper or get support, come check out my “Nest” community -or- my one-to-one mentoring. Wherever you are, may you leave the world a little better than you found it, and may your hope be a blessing to yourself and others! ❤️ KK'S KEY TAKEAWAYS:​• Hope is more than a feeling; it is a mindset, a call to action, a practice, and a belief in the possibility of positive change.​• Practicing hope requires us to shift our perspective and train our minds to look for the good, the beautiful, and the holy.​• Hope is not passive; it inspires us to take action and create the future we want to see.​• “Learned Hopefulness” means cultivating the belief that we can positively influence our own lives and the world.​• Visualizing and embodying your desired future can more likely help to make hope a lived reality.​• Individual change and inner peace are the starting points for creating broader change in families, communities, and society.​• Hope can be an act of resistance and a source of strength during difficult times.​• Joining a supportive community can help you practice and sustain hope in your daily life.

The world is often cynical about kindness. We tend to wonder, "What's their hidden motive?" Fred Rogers, the cardigan-wearing TV host, faced that skepticism daily on Mister Rogers' Neighborhood. His show's mission, rooted in his Christian faith, was about seeing people's pain and suffering with them. It's the same approach Jesus showed in His neighborhood, ministering to the hurting and neglected, while others rushed by. Join Horizon at the 11 a.m. Exploring Service for WON'T YOU BE MY NEIGHBOR?, as we unpack how Mister Rogers and Jesus taught us to care for those around us.

In this heartfelt solo episode of Mirror Talk: Soulful Conversations, we explore what it truly means to shine your light in a world that often feels dark, heavy, and discouraging. Too often, we dim our brilliance to fit in, to be accepted, or to avoid making others uncomfortable. But your light — your voice, your gifts, your essence — was never meant to be hidden.Through powerful real-life stories of Nelson Mandela, Malala Yousafzai, and Mister Rogers, you'll discover the courage it takes to shine authentically, and the ripple effects it creates when you do. You'll also learn practical ways to:Stop apologising for who you are.Use your unique light to serve others.Protect your flame from negativity and burnout.Remember: even a small light has the power to break through the darkest night. It's time to step out of the shadows, stop shrinking, and embrace your brilliance unapologetically. Because the world needs your light — and it needs it now.CONFESSIONS is now available: https://mirrortalkpodcast.com/confessions-book/ Thank you for joining me on this MIRROR TALK podcast journey.

What if the most powerful brand you could build didn't shout, it whispered, “You're enough”? That's the quiet revolution Miss Katie Sings is leading. In this episode of Design Of, we sit down with Katie Norregaard, aka Miss Katie Sings, a musician, educator, and content creator who's redefining what it means to connect with your audience. With calm clarity and cultural depth, she's grown from a single homemade video during lockdown to a trusted global presence in children's music, simply by being herself. She didn't launch with a marketing team or a strategy deck. She launched with a box of rice as a drum, a $0 brand name, and an unwavering belief that kids deserve better. Her presence, gentle, intentional, and deeply human, has drawn comparisons to Mister Rogers. Not because she imitates him, but because she shares his radical belief: that children deserve to be seen, heard, and taken seriously. Here's why this one's worth your time: Because Katie's story is what every brand leader, creative, educator, or purpose-driven entrepreneur needs right now, proof that authenticity scales, and that the right voice can cut through the noise by being exactly what the world needs: human. And if you're simply someone trying to be a good human yourself, this story will remind you how much impact one kind, clear voice can make. In this episode, you'll hear: + How “I Am Enough” became a viral anthem for emotional resilience + Why Miss Katie's Mr. Rogers-style calm is her brand, and a differentiator + How representation and anti-bias education are built into her content strategy + What it means to grow a community by showing up gently but consistently + How a non-flashy approach became her biggest competitive advantage + Stories that reveal the real impact of leading with empathy and intention “You can be loved exactly as you are.” It's not just a lyric. It's a strategy, and a reminder. Whether you're building a brand, telling a story, or trying to connect more deeply with your audience, this episode is a blueprint for how powerful simplicity and honesty can be.

In this episode, editor-at-large Peter Beinart speaks to children's television star Rachel Griffin Accurso, better known to her fans as Ms. Rachel, about her advocacy for Palestinian children in Gaza, tens of thousands of whom have been maimed or killed by Israel over the last 22 months, with many more enduring a relentless campaign of starvation. Ms. Rachel, who has been called this generation's Mister Rogers, began speaking out in May 2024, when she participated in a Save the Children fundraiser for kids in conflict zones, including Gaza. The backlash from the pro-Israel camp was so pronounced that Ms. Rachel soon posted a teary video discussing the bullying she was facing. The Zionist backlash has continued, with the doxxing outfit Stop Antisemitism formally requesting in April that the Department of Justice investigate Ms. Rachel to determine if she was “being remunerated to disseminate Hamas-aligned propaganda to her millions of followers.” But Ms. Rachel has not stopped insisting that Palestinian children, like all children, deserve safety and care. In May, she invited a three-year-old double amputee from Gaza named Rahaf onto her show. Beinart spoke to Ms. Rachel about her advocacy for Palestinian children and the pro-Israel backlash, the role faith and prayer have played in her decision to speak out, and why more celebrities haven't followed suit.This conversation first appeared on The Beinart Notebook on Substack.Thanks to Jesse Brenneman for producing and to Nathan Salsburg for the use of his song “VIII (All That Were Calculated Have Passed).”Media Mentioned and Further Reading“Pro-Israel group asks DoJ to investigate Ms. Rachel over posts on Gaza children,” Joseph Gedeon, The Guardian“Ms. Rachel's emotional plea for the lives of Palestinian children,” Christiane Amanpour, CNNMs. Rachel's fundraising page at the Palestine Children's Relief Fund“A year of tears: 12 months of war on children,” UNICEF ReportTranscript forthcoming.

Since the end of the last cease-fire between Israel and Hamas in March, people in Gaza are facing increasingly dire humanitarian conditions. Over nearly seven decades, research conducted at Hawaii’s Mauna Loa Observatory taught us that global warming is happening and humans are causing most of it. Trump's proposed budget for 2026 would shutter the observatory.  Before “Mister Rogers” or “Sesame Street,” Shari Lewis created, voiced, and performed a diminutive sock puppet named Lamb Chop. Her story is the focus of a new documentary.
