Just three proposed AI data centers in Wisconsin are projected to use more electricity than all 2.3 million homes in the state combined. In fact, the one facility in Mount Pleasant alone will pull as much power as 1 million homes — becoming one of the largest “cities” of energy consumption in the state without a single person living there. Amy Barrilleaux, communications director at Clean Wisconsin, joined the Rick Solem Show on Monday to help break down the massive, under-the-radar impact hyperscale AI data centers could have on Wisconsin’s energy grid, local water supplies and your monthly utility bills. In this episode: The Energy Surge: Why the Public Service Commission (PSC) projects a 40% jump in state energy demand over six years — and why 72% of that increase comes from just three data centers. Your Pocketbook: How multi-billion-dollar utility buildouts for tech giants like Microsoft and Oracle could shift massive financial risks onto everyday Wisconsin ratepayers. Local Moratoriums: Why La Crosse County and municipalities state-wide are putting pauses in place to evaluate land use, grid strain, tax implications, local health impacts and more. Land & Water Impacts: The stark difference between temporary solar farm leases and permanent concrete slabs that erase family farmland forever — plus the off-site water drain from fossil fuel power generation. A Century of Infrastructure in 10 Years: Why rebuilding our entire energy system in a decade for a handful of tech companies requires a statewide pause and a real plan. Take Action: Clean Wisconsin has launched a statewide petition calling for a pause on unchecked AI data center development until proper regulations are in place.

In this special 9-week series, listeners will hear from three different groups—GenX paired with Millennials, Gen Z, and Boomers with a mix of the Silent Generation. Their conversations cover a variety of topics including technology, unity in the Church, racism, and parenting. Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, our Boomers group discusses polarity in the church, optimism (or lack of) for unity, whether society is less racist today compared to generations before, whether they consider themselves patriotic, and if they see the USA as a Christian nation. Susan ChapmanSusan Chapman has been a part of Seacoast's Mount Pleasant Campus for ten years, where she and her husband Roy serve as table leaders at Next Steps and volunteer in the bookstore. Susan's passion is intercessory prayer — a calling that has shaped much of her life and the lives of those around her. Susan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Roy in high school. They married in 1965 and have built a rich life together over the past 60 years, rooted in faith, family, and friendship. They have two children — a son and a daughter — and warmly claim their son-in-law John as their own. Their two grandchildren are a delight: their grandson recently graduated from North Greenville University, and their granddaughter just graduated from middle school. It was in Decatur, Georgia, in the early 1970s that Susan's spiritual journey began to take deep root. Her time in Bible study and God's word brought about changes that were visible to everyone around her — including Roy, who began searching for what was behind them. Looking back, Susan can clearly see God's hand at work throughout her life. In 1977, the family relocated to the Philadelphia area, and once again God's provision was evident. Susan found a wonderful community of people there who remain among her closest and dearest friends to this day. After 28 years, she and Roy moved to Summerville in 2005, where they have been putting down roots ever since. One of Susan's great joys at Next Steps has been discovering just how small the world really is — the unexpected connections, the familiar faces from years past, the strangers who turn out to be anything but. She also treasures staying in touch with lifelong friends now scattered across seven states. In her free time, Susan enjoys reading, jigsaw puzzles, and time with family and friends. She and Roy are devoted University of Georgia football fans, and one of their favorite traditions is spending time at Litchfield Beach, a place they have returned to for over 50 years. When it comes to food, Susan's Southern spread says everything you need to know about her: summer squash, butter beans, tomatoes, iced tea, and optional fried chicken. She still remembers when her aunt's phone number was simply 2524 — before area codes existed — and when ten rolls of toilet paper cost a dollar. Susan Chapman is someone who remembers where she came from, holds tightly to the people she loves, and keeps showing up — in prayer, in service, and in life.Brian LewisBrian Lewis has been a pastor at Seacoast's Mount Pleasant campus for 11 years, leading Men's Ministry and Seniors Ministry. He has been married to Andrea for 32 years and has one daughter, Addison. Born, raised, and educated in Atlanta, Georgia — a Georgia Tech graduate — Brian is the youngest of five children, two of whom are now with the Lord. He has been part of the Seacoast family for 21 years.In his free time, Brian enjoys cooking, DIY projects, golf, travel, and music. Andrea describes him as a renaissance man — curious about everything and a true dabbler. He has visited 42 states and 6 continents, attended both Obama inaugurations with his family, and made seven trips to Kenya for global missions, with one trip to Honduras as well. Brian loves a good argument or debate, as long as it doesn't get too emotional, and will happily argue either side of an interesting topic.Joe RiddellJoe has been a part of the Seacoast family for 25 years. Lived in Charleston his whole life and a general contractor for 37 years.  Married to Carol for 29 years, he has two kids ages 34 and 27 and two grandkids almost four and almost two. In his own words, he's Just a guy who loves Jesus, loves his family and loves his church. Sandy StaffordSandy Stafford is a retired art teacher who spent 40 years at James Island Charter High School before retiring in 2020. She has two grown sons and a thirteen-year-old granddaughter, and became a member of Seacoast at the James Island campus. In her free time, Sandy enjoys traveling, nature walks, and all types of art-making. She has a particular passion for researching and visiting southern "Chapels of Ease," photographing these historic sites as references for her drawings and paintings. Sandy is also deeply drawn to the American Southwest — especially New Mexico — where she loves traveling less-known highways to visit Southwest Mission Churches. She hopes to walk a pilgrimage next Easter to Santuario de Chimayo along the "High Road" from Taos to Santa Fe.Seacoast Podcast is now on InstagramBe a Patron of the podcast We have a YouTube Channel for videos of all episodes since Jan. 2024. We'd love to hear from you.  E-mail Joey HERE. Producer/Editor/host: Joey SvendsenSound Engineer/Editor: Katelyn Vandiver

Grouped by similar ages, these 12 individuals share their unique views, opinions, and convictions based on their generational upbringing and views of the world. Ranging from ages 16 to 81, we're covering 5 different generations with 16 different guests.In this episode, the Boomers group talks about technology, social media, personal phone use, when kids should access social media, AI, and concerns about all the above. Bios of our Boomers and Silent Generation Contributors:Roy and Susan ChapmanRoy and Susan Chapman have been married for 60 years and share a rich life built on faith, family, and friendship. Susan was born and raised in Atlanta, Georgia, where she met Roy in high school. After Roy attended the University of Georgia and Georgia State University, they married in 1965. They have two children — a son and a daughter — and warmly claim their son-in-law John as their own. Their two grandchildren are amazing and delightful: their grandson recently graduated from North Greenville University, and their granddaughter just graduated from middle school.Roy began his career in insurance after marriage, completing his degree at night from Georgia State University. They purchased their first home in Decatur, Georgia, in 1971 — and it was there that their spiritual journey truly took root. Roy began noticing profound changes in Susan through her Bible studies and time in God's word, changes that led him to start searching for what was behind them. Looking back, both Roy and Susan can clearly see God's hand on their lives.In 1977, Roy's employer asked him to relocate to the home office in Philadelphia. After much prayer, they accepted the move — and once again witnessed God's provision, finding a wonderful community of people in New Jersey who remain among their closest and dearest friends to this day. They lived in the area for 28 years before moving to Summerville in 2005, where Roy has continued working in the insurance industry with the company he founded when they arrived.Roy and Susan have been attending Seacoast's Mount Pleasant Campus for ten years, where they serve as table leaders at Next Steps and volunteer in the bookstore. Roy's passion is meeting new people through the church and finding ways to serve them. Susan's passion is intercessory prayer.In their free time, both enjoy reading, jigsaw puzzles, and time with family and friends. They are devoted University of Georgia football fans and enjoy other sports as well. One of their favorite traditions is spending time at Litchfield Beach, a place they have returned to for over 50 years. Susan also treasures staying in touch with lifelong friends now scattered across seven states.A few fun notes: Roy's favorite food is a chili dog from Atlanta's iconic drive-in, The Varsity — though good pulled pork barbecue and a proper Southern meal (cornbread included) are never far behind. Susan's Southern spread of summer squash, butter beans, tomatoes, iced tea, and optional fried chicken runs a close second. One of the joys of serving at Next Steps has been discovering just how small the world really is — Roy and Susan have repeatedly been surprised to cross paths with people they knew years ago, or to find unexpected shared connections with the strangers who walk through the door. Susan still remembers when her aunt's phone number was simply 2524, before area codes existed, and when ten rolls of toilet paper cost a dollar.Brian LewisBrian Lewis has been a pastor at Seacoast's Mount Pleasant campus for 11 years, leading Men's Ministry and Seniors Ministry.

Host Brian Cleary sits down with Treasurer Kenny Skipper and Recorder Jim Gates to preview an all-inclusive night of premier dining, an open bar, and high-energy fun featuring live and silent auctions, games, and a 50/50 drawing. The prize lineup is staggering—ranging from high-end hunting trips and guided fishing tours to a fully prepared Beaufort Stew dinner for 20, and even a raffle for a live Boykin Spaniel puppy!

Only Your Eyes Are Unclosed is a 2008 film by Anthony Shapland, duration 60 minutes. The film depicts sixty urban locations around Swansea city in the hour before sunrise, radiating from a geographical centre point. The hour begins in the dead of night with a due north location in Mount Pleasant, and each subsequent location moves around the city like the hands of a clock, with a minute spent in each place before moving ever closer to dawn. The locations featured span a large area of Swansea. They begin with empty streets in Mount Pleasant, lit only by the glow of streetlights, and move on to the deserted train station entrance where a lone zebra crossing flashes in the dark. Moving on to the brightly lit high‑rise car park off New Cut Road, the calm surface of the River Tawe, and the distant, steel works viewed from Port Tennant, with continuous plumes of smoke rising into the early morning crimson sky. The journey continues across the iconic Sail Bridge, to the Maritime Quarter, where flats overlook the quiet marina. Followed by the former GWR stone Revetment Wall on the north side of Victoria Quay, and the coastal steps swallowed by high tide, travelling on to an unusually still Oystermouth Road lined with parked work vans. Locations across the road feature the prison's barbed‑wire‑topped walls, the stately Brangwyn Hall, and the very steep, cobbled street of Constitution Hill. As the sun rises through St James Crescent Park and the residential streets of Sketty, the film ends with views across the city from Mayhill and Townhill as dawn breaks. A silent semi-fictional narrative is conveyed through subtitles that accompany each scene, for example: “A fox finds a curry carton. It licks the polystyrene clean before walking away. Carl Seers reminds himself to take the blue wrench tomorrow. Mrs Watkins' sink is set right back against the wall.” Despite the romantic construction of the work these texts are only part fiction, built on real names, occurrences and observations. The title of the film is a nod to Under Milk Wood by Swansea born, Dylan Thomas, which was published in 1954, shortly after Thomas's death in 1953. In an in-conversation with curator and writer, Lisa Le Feuvre, Anthony Shapland once said about returning to the period between night and day throughout his practice: “Early morning in a city before normal activities take place - it feels as if you are experiencing ‘non-hours'. In the city the streetlamps extend twilight which creates a situation where anything can happen, where possibilities are infinite. It's as if the entire rules of engagement for the day have been replaced and new rules are waiting to be made up.... “I grew up in a rural area and moving to the city opened up a new sense of the night. There is a certain point in the city at night when you can feel as if you are on your own - you can possess the space in some way. The urban early morning can be incredibly peaceful. There is a sense that everything has stopped for a while, that everyone is sleeping. You can rest in that waiting moment before it all starts again. When I was filming in the city I discovered there is one hour when it is OK to be polite to people - when you can say ‘good morning' to strangers and it is acceptable. It is that moment when it starts to get light - the first time I experienced it I was really taken by surprise, and I realised that the healthy dog-walkers and workers were assuming I had got up early, rather than stayed out late.” Anthony Shapland is a Welsh artist, founder of artist-led space g39, and novelist. He grew up in Bargoed in the Rhymney Valley. Within his writing and artistic practice, he blends documentary and fiction, drawing on his lived experience of rural queerness and growing up performing straight.

What happens when you combine environmental cleanup, competitive art, and community giving? On this episode of the Mount Pleasant Podcast, host Brian Cleary talks with Jim Haag, President and Director of The Beautification Transformation Project (TBT Project). Drawing on his background from the Savannah College of Art and Design, Jim launched this unique initiative after noticing heavy debris piling up along local corridors like Highway 17 and Rifle Range Road. At its core, TBT is about reimagining our relationship with the environment by turning "waste into wonder". Jim's vision is to create a repeatable model that can be taken to cities nationwide. By proving that roadside blight can be harvested as a raw medium for high-quality sculpture, the project aims to transform the way communities view litter—shifting the narrative from a simple cleanup task to a creative opportunity that supports both the local arts economy and those in need. For this year's inaugural Mount Pleasant competition, the project is focusing on three key areas: Supporting the Arts: Creating a competitive art contest for local high schoolers, college students, and professionals using recycled materials. Helping the Environment: Launching a massive August cleanup to pull 10,000 pounds of litter from Mount Pleasant roadsides. Giving Back: Partnering with local businesses to display the final sculptures, which will be auctioned off to benefit the MUSC Children's Hospital. Get Involved: Want to showcase your creativity or support the cause? Visit TBTProject.org to submit your entry for the inaugural art contest or learn how your business can become an official project sponsor!

On October 29, 1978, the city of Mount Pleasant was rocked by the murder of mother and daughter Clementine and Karol Beavers in their home. The case had gone cold until a third woman, Susan Wheelock, was killed in her place of work, six months later. CJ Williams, an Iowa federal judge, was Karol's classmate, a coworker of Susan's and he knew the convicted killer. These murders influenced Williams to seek a career in criminal justice, and his book delves into the multilayered story of these murders that rocked his hometown and changed the course of his life. (This episode was originally produced in October 2025.)

In this episode, we tackle one of the hottest debates in the Harley-Davidson community: throwaway paper motorcycle oil filters versus reusable motorcycle oil filters. We break down the confusion surrounding micron ratings, nominal versus absolute filtration, and why comparing one filter's numbers to another without context can be misleading. Instead of getting lost in internet comment wars, this episode explains oil filtration in plain biker language so everyday riders can make smarter maintenance decisions with confidence. SUPPORT US AND SHOP IN THE OFFICIAL LAW ABIDING BIKER STORE We also take a close look at two of the most talked-about reusable options on the market: the Figurati and the PC Racing FLO oil filters. From stainless mesh filtration and cooling fins to magnetic debris capture and serviceable designs, we compare what each system brings to the table. We discuss why oil flow matters just as much as filtration, how overly restrictive filters can create problems, and why reusable filters have been trusted in racing and demanding applications for decades. CHECK OUT OUR HUNDREDS OF FREE HELPFUL VIDEOS ON OUR YOUTUBE CHANNEL AND SUBSCRIBE! Finally, we bust the common myth that aftermarket oil filters automatically void your Harley warranty, explaining what federal law and Harley's own warranty language actually say. We also explore the added benefits of inspectable filters, magnetic dipsticks, and building a complete contamination-control system for your motorcycle. Whether you're already running a reusable filter or just curious about making the switch, this episode gives you the facts you need—without the hype—so you can stop stressing over microns and get back to riding.

Watching a car run on a dyno is pure theater, but the numbers can also save you money, guide smarter tuning, and even keep you safer. We head to Northeast Texas Community College in Mount Pleasant, Texas, to talk with Austin Maness from the Carol Shelby Auto Institute about their Dyno Day event and what really happens before a vehicle ever makes a pull. We get clear on what a dynamometer measures, why rear-wheel drive matters for their setup, and what participants actually learn from horsepower and torque data.We also get honest about the not-so-fun side of performance testing: liability, safety inspections, and the kind of mechanical problems that can shut the whole day down. Austin explains how risk mitigation works in practice, from tech checks to turning cars away when something looks off. Then we dig into a situation a lot of owners face, a tune that doesn't feel right, and how flashing back to factory settings can be the cleanest way to rebuild confidence in a car's drivability.To round it out, we share our 2026 Kia Sportage Plug-In Hybrid review with real-world impressions and real-world fuel economy. The Sportage PHEV X-Line Prestige AWD brings strong combined power, a sharp redesign, and impressive efficiency when you actually plug it in, plus a few driving quirks worth knowing before you buy. If you're into car culture, dyno testing, automotive education, or plug-in hybrid SUVs, this one is built for you.

Most accounts of Christian leadership in the first two centuries focus on the diversity of leadership structures and the various cultural influences that impacted it. The First Pastors: Early Christianity's Vision for Ministry (Gorgias Press, 2026) demonstrates that within these structures and contexts early Christians shared a clear set of theological convictions about pastoral leadership. Through literary and theological analysis of relevant passages in the Apostolic Fathers and New Testament, The First Pastors demonstrates four shared convictions about pastoral ministry: (1) the necessity of a particular kind of virtue for pastoral leaders, (2) the authority of pastoral leaders, (3) the essentials of pastoral work, and (4) the reality of pastoral suffering. These shared convictions emerge from the variety of communities represented by these texts and are so well attested to that they suggest a much greater degree of unity than is presently assumed in the field. Moreover, even with the various dating issues surrounding the Apostolic Fathers and New Testament, the agreement between these sets of texts show second-century Christians carrying forward the convictions of the first century. Finally, they present an interesting example of the coexistence and interaction between unity and diversity in early Christianity: theological unity persisted in diverse communities with varying practices and contexts.

What happens when someone tells you your idea will never work, and you build it anyway? What does it look like to create a space where trying matters more than finishing first?   Angi Klick didn't just start a triathlon event. She built a movement. After years of trying to convince other race directors that women needed their own welcoming space in the sport, she decided to do it herself. In 2016, while nine months pregnant, she directed the first She Tris Triathlon in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina. A local timer told her it would never work. The event sold out before race day.   Now, 10 years later, She Tris has become a haven for first-timers, a celebration for returners, and proof that when you lead with community over competition, something powerful happens. Angi talks about surviving those early moments, managing rheumatoid arthritis while training for an Ironman, and why she never calls her events "races." She shares what it means to champion confidence in women who aren't sure they belong yet, and why the finish line is really just the starting line for what comes next.   This conversation is for anyone who's ever been told no and decided to build it anyway. It's for the beginner who thinks they need permission to start. And it's a reminder that belonging doesn't come before you try. It comes because you start.   Join the Tri Beginner's Luck Community: Enjoyed this episode? The best way to support the show is to leave a 5-star review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify!

And yes, they technically did exactly what they wanted to do -- take a three-goal lead back to Jamaica. But anyone who was there will tell you that the game was a struggle. And it's not because the Galaxy didn't dominate defensively, nor because they didn't create chances. They just couldn't put high-quality shots on target until they did. On today's show, host Josh Guesman gives you his view on the 3-0 win over Mount Pleasant and why the game against Sporting KC is going to be similar.

So, is it as simple as Gabriel Pec screwed up? Is there more to it? Could Vanney have gone more defensive? Or did the Galaxy believe they could still win that game?

Galaxy fans, take a breath and step back from the ledge. The 4–1 loss in Colorado wasn't pretty, but there were still glimpses of what this team can be according to Michelle and Christian. Now the Gs return home for two big opportunities: CONCACAF Champions Cup Round of 16 vs Mount Pleasant and a league clash with Sporting Kansas City. On paper, LA should be the better side in both. NWSL season kicks off this weekend as well. More fun to come, stay tuned!

In this episode, host Kim Russo sits down with Erin Straughan, a pediatric nurse and Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist (CRNA) who transitioned her extensive medical background into entrepreneurship as the owner of Tidewater Pharmacy & Compounding in Mount Pleasant. Erin's journey began by silencing her own doubts to create a collaborative, personalized healthcare environment rather than a "cookie-cutter" retail experience. Driven by conversations with friends and customers who felt their symptoms—like persistent fatigue despite active lifestyles—were being overlooked by traditional systems, Erin positioned Tidewater as a vital resource for women in mid-life and beyond. As an independent pharmacy, Tidewater offers the best of both worlds: traditional prescription fulfillment alongside specialized custom compounding.

She first heard about intermittent fasting in 2016, when a friend recommended Gin's work, but even though she was inspired by Gin's story, she didn't think intermittent fasting was for her. At 5' 4”, she was stuck at a weight set point of around 152 pounds, even though she could lose weight—but then she would go right back up to 152 pounds, and she didn't feel good in her body.In the summer of 2020, she started working out consistently, and her friend and trainer recommended intermittent fasting. She still didn't think she could do it—until one day in November. On November 11, she woke up and started fasting clean that day. She has been fasting ever since.She now weighs 122 pounds, and has lost the constant food noise that plagued her prior to becoming an intermittent faster. She is on a muscle-building journey, and at the age of 66, her daily eating window from 11-6 each day plus working out allows her to easily build muscle and she feels strong and also feels comfortable in her body. At the end of the episode, Liz tells new intermittent fasters that it's simple—just start by skipping breakfast.Join Gin in the new Fast Feast Repeat app for The Grown-Up Year: 52 Weeks to Listen, Play, and Nourish, as well as a growing collection of intermittent fasting resources.

In this episode of A Couple Takes on MS, we sit down with our pastor, Pastor Dana Hendershot, to talk about one of the biggest questions that can rise up after a diagnosis like MS (or cancer): Why did God let this happen? Dan reflects on 26 years since his MS diagnosis and how faith can change over time, not always through easy answers, but through presence, perspective, and community. Pastor Dana shares the moment her theology of suffering shifted, what she learned during her own cancer journey, and why it's okay to bring every emotion to God. Including anger. We talk about prayer as breath, the difference between “God caused this” and “God is with you in this,” why joy only exists in the present moment, and how hope sometimes looks like being carried by others when you can't carry yourself. In this episode, we get real with Pastor Dana about: • Where God is in diagnosis and suffering • Why it's OK to be angry with God (and why God can handle it) • Prayer as presence and the Spirit as the promise • Theology of the cross vs. theology of glory • Hope, community, and being carried when you're worn down • Finding joy right now and why singing can help shift your mind An open invitation for you, our listeners Where have you felt God's presence during a difficult season in your life? We'd love to hear from you at acoupletakesonms@gmail.com. About our guest: Pastor Dana Hendershot is an ordained pastor in the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America and has served as Senior Pastor of Immanuel Lutheran Church in Mount Pleasant, Michigan, since 2011. Dana holds a degree in psychology with a focus in neuropsychology and a Master of Divinity from the Lutheran School of Theology at Chicago, where her studies explored the intersection of science and faith. In addition to her congregational ministry, Dana serves as Chair of the Lutheran Alliance for Faith, Science, and Technology, helping lead national conversations about how theology, scientific discovery, and human curiosity connect. Her writing has appeared in Working Preacher, The Lutheran, and Lutheran Partners, where she brings thoughtful theology into everyday lived experience. In 2023, Dana was diagnosed with Large Cell B Non-Hodgkin's Lymphoma and underwent extensive treatment. That experience deepened her understanding of the body, vulnerability, and what it means to show up for others with compassion and presence. Dana has also been deeply involved in community advocacy. She helped establish Mount Pleasant's first rotating homeless shelter—Isabella County Restoration House—serves on Central Michigan University's Institutional Review Board, and previously served on the Interfaith Action of Southwest Florida Board of Directors while advocating for farmworker justice alongside the Coalition of Immokalee Workers. *** Remember to rate, review and subscribe to A Couple Takes on MS Podcast for two insightful perspectives on this one multifaceted disease.
