Hey Narrate! After last week's tech issue, Adam came back and recorded Sunday's message in his office so you can hear it if you weren't able to attend this last week. This week's scripture: Matthew 2:1-15Adam leans into Matthew 2's invitation to consider how it's not just Herod who is prone to getting drunk on power. There's an invitation to consider that it's not “them” God wants to talk about.  What if it's us? What if it's me? You? What if we're all prone to hoard power?  What if all power reverts back to God, and as it does so it gives a report on how it was used?

In this episode, conservationist and filmmaker Tom Opre sits down with Mark Sather, a longtime Montana sportsman and employee of the Sieben Livestock Company, to unpack one of the most volatile and misunderstood issues in Western conservation: access, entitlement, and responsibility. Raised hunting the Gates of the Mountains and the Bob Marshall, Sather brings a generational sportsman's perspective shaped by years working inside a large, wildlife-rich cattle operation. He speaks candidly about what happens when public wildlife, private land, federal agencies, state managers, and modern hunting technology collide—sometimes literally—with helicopters, drones, and rising tensions in the field. The conversation moves deep into block management, helicopter access to landlocked public ground, changing hunter behavior, and the real-world consequences ranchers face when gates are left open, cattle are displaced, and trust breaks down. Sather also explains how proactive management—cow elk harvests, hazing with drones, and collaboration with Fish & Game—can reduce conflict while still putting meat in freezers. This is not a theoretical discussion. It's a ground-level look at how conservation actually works—or fails—when emotion, politics, and entitlement replace humility, stewardship, and dialogue. If you care about hunting, public land, private land, and the future of wildlife in the American West, this is a conversation you need to hear.

410 Holding Space For Grief    What can one say when faced with tragedy? Do you reach for a simple "I'm sorry" to let another know you sympathize with their pain? Do you offer an anecdote to show you empathize with what they are going through? Regardless, it is important that whatever you do you also hold space for your grief as well as those who need to know they are not alone in their grief.   Highlights The importance of holding space for grief in the face of tragedy.  Using healthy coping mechanisms to combat pain.  You can sit in your grief and melancholy, just remember you must continue to move on.   Quotes "I can't fathom how this is okay in the year 2025. Why haven't we evolved further than to allow the murder of innocents?" "It brought me a sense of peace and comfort, knowing we are resilient people. That we will come through this. That we will find love and community as we make the efforts to do so."   Dear Listeners it is now your turn, Find a place outside where you can stand on grass or dirt in bare feet, even if it's cold, and sense the awe around you. Whatever the weather, we're alive. Whatever the actions taken by others, we're alive, to keep the legacy of our loved ones alive in our hearts. And to play a small role in changing this dynamic of hate, loneliness, and disconnect.   And, as always, thank you for listening.    Mentioned in this episode  Eili, Eili by Hannah Szenes About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana. Be sure to check out the Storytelling For Professionals Course as well to make sure you nail that next interview!

Ed and Brian also offer practical guidance for campus leaders seeking to build more effective pathways to completion.

In this episode, we feature Anne Middleton, a conservation professional whose career has taken her from Montana to Cameroon and now to California, bridging the nonprofit, public, and private sectors. From investigating international wildlife crime with the Environmental Investigation Agency to procuring sustainable ebony wood in Cameroon for Taylor Guitars, Anne's journey reflects her commitment to collaborative environmental solutions.

A last-minute writing invite, a young artist with star power, and a chorus that had to carry the whole story—Ava Sapelsa walks us through how a room with Jamie Kenny, Trent Dabbs, and Max McNown turned into a multi-format hit climbing hot AC, pop, and country radio while living on the Billboard charts for months. We trace the journey from poetic verses to a clear “brown eyes” hook, why the melody stretches across male and female ranges, and how a strong chorus can translate from TikTok buzz to radio momentum without losing its heart.From there, we rewind to Evanston and Montana, where cover sets and country storytelling shaped Ava's instincts, then fast-forward to Nashville writers' rounds as a crash course in modern songcraft. Ava shares the strategies behind “Salt, Lime & Tequila,” a Zoom-era co-write with Ryan Griffin and Jason Massey that snowballed from a rough title to SiriusXM The Highway's most-played song, and how TikTok, smart pitching, and timing opened the door to radio. We also break down her outside cut with Carly Pearce on Hummingbird, proving how a clean concept and an honest lyric can move from demo to record in a week when everything aligns.Beyond charts and cuts, Ava brings purpose to Music City through Hope on the Row, a nonprofit serving unhoused neighbors with food, supplies, and pathways to stability—powered by volunteers from across the music industry. It's a reminder that enduring careers are built on craft, community, and consistency. If you're chasing better choruses, clearer concepts, or a stronger network, you'll find practical takeaways and candid stories you can use on your next write.Enjoy the episode, then subscribe, share with a songwriter friend, and leave a review so more music lovers can find these stories.

Today's Red Line Roots podcast guest is songwriter and multi instrumentalist Andrew Brozek. I first met Andrew through a mutual friend and luthier, got to know his music and we  filmed some session work with he and his mandolinist friend Eli Smith…Andrew is also our December artist of the month.His music borders on folk, bluegrass and country…boiled down, I would call it in some ways the “Watchhouse effect”. Songs focused on introspection, with melody and smart instrumentation choices at the core of the music.A few years back he released a collection of tunes called 'Cant You See I'm Happy' and just followed that release up with a single called 'Too Many Times a Day.'Its been a while since I had spoken with Andrew as he recently graduated from Dartmouth (about 30 minutes from me), moved back to Montana (not at all 30 minutes from me) for the summer and now finds himself in Indianapolis. We get into writing process, influence and finding our community…something he is finding his footing with right now in his new home base.I hope you all enjoy…and this marks a semi regular return to some episodes and conversations with musicians…here we go.https://www.andrewbrozekmusic.com/https://www.instagram.com/andrew.brozek.music/reels/?__d=1%2F

This time, we're heading to Montana for Christmas in Big Sky Country.ABOUT CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRYBecca Collins collaborates with Logan Johnston, the oil company's new PR agent, to ensure her brother-in-law returns home safely for the holidays after an incident on an oil rig. Can Becca trust Logan's intentions?AIR DATE & NETWORK FOR CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRYDecembr 14 2025 | UPtvCAST & CREW OF CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRYRebecca Dalton as Becca CollinsOlivier Renaud as Logan JohnstonBRAN'S CHRISTMAS IN BIG SKY COUNTRY SYNOPSISWe meet Becca Collins, who runs Woof Moon. The company is not doing great. She's even taken an online business course, but it hasn't helped much.Then we meet Logan Johnston. He used to work in sales but has recently been promoted to PR at an oil rig company — despite the executives not believing he's the right fit for the job.Becca's brother-in-law works on an oil rig, and his communication suddenly gets cut off. Panicked, Becca calls the company and is connected to Logan. Logan doesn't really have any information. She calls back again, and Logan starts to feel guilty about how little he can offer.Wanting to do something meaningful, Logan decides to visit the family in person to reassure them and share what good news he can — that the workers are safe. He meets the family and tries to stick up for Big Oil. His boss then instructs him to take photos with the family to show that the company “cares.” Logan does, which upsets Becca.She gets over it fairly quickly when Logan returns to check on her. He offers to help update Woof Moon's website — web design is his real passion. They spend time together in the mountains and nearly kiss, until a kid shouts “EWWW!” from far away.Becca's brother-in-law eventually comes home safe — but then promptly goes back out to the rig to help a buddy. Because he's returning voluntarily, he won't be covered by insurance, and his family doesn't know. Logan does.Logan knows a lot more than he's letting on. His boss is pushing him to get the families of the remaining workers to sign paperwork that would essentially waive their rights.When Becca and her sister discover that Logan knew the truth, they're furious. But Logan has set up a radio system that allows them to communicate with the rig, so they reluctantly keep him around.They finally make contact, only to find that Becca's brother-in-law has his arm pinned under debris. Logan talks to him to keep him awake, and during the tense moment, he admits to Becca that he has feelings for her.Everything works out, the rescue is successful, and Becca and Logan finally kiss.
