As an occupation, working in the snow sports industry as a guide, instructor, coach and patroller has one of the highest non-fatal workplace injury rates in North America.Recreationally, skiing and snowboarding are often thought of as extreme sports, although I think we can all agree there is a range to that. Still, both resort and backcountry skiing and riding come with a much higher level of risk than most sports.In this episode, Jordy and Chris discuss what it takes to manage risk in snow more effectively. Chris leads the discussion leaning into the extensive work he has done on the Managing Risk on Snow program with Whistler Blackcomb and the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada (PSIC).Chris is currently developing the Managing Risk on Snow Certification for Instructors and Patrollers. When complete, this will be a four-level online certification stream with each level taking approximately three hours to complete. The first two levels are now complete.Jordy shares his extensive experience as an ACMG Mountain guide working in the Heli-ski and backcountry ski industry as well as his ski racing background.Both Chris and Jordy share what it takes to manage risk in snow more effectively so that you can reduce the risk of injury to yourself and others.Key TakeawaysChallenges of the Ski Environment: People are making decisions on the move. The environment is very changeable and fast moving. Conditions are inconsistent and the people themselves are unpredictable. All of this creates a high level of uncertainty.Smart Risk: Smart Risks are risks that are designed to maximize opportunities for growth and rewards, while reducing the chance of experiencing negative outcomes - to acceptable levels.Smart Risk Criteria: Smart risks are Calculated, Acceptable, Necessary and Prepared for.Key Components of Managing Risk: Managing hazard, exposure and vulnerability. Hazard is the thing that can cause us harm. Exposure is our proximity to the hazard, often measured in time, frequency and distance. Vulnersbility, is our susceptibility or fragility to the hazard. These are the three components that we are working to manage the most when it comes to managing risk.Three Top Risk Strategies: Reducing vulnersbility, limiting exposure by avoiding unnecessary risks and making sure we are prepared and ready.Guest BiosChris Kaipio is the produce and co-host of Delivering Adventure.He has worked in the adventure industry as an instructor, guide, trainer and manager since 2001.Chris is currently developing the Managing Risk on Snow eLearning Certification for the Professional Ski Instructors of Canada.

What if peace doesn't come from thinking positive thoughts, but from surrendering all that's within us to God?Philippians 4 invites us to focus on what is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, and gracious. But when we're anxious, angry, sad, or afraid, simply “thinking positive” can feel more like bypassing than healing. Our difficult emotions may be uncomfortable, but they can also tell us something important about what's happening within us.And then there's Jesus' wild story about the tenants in the vineyard. What do these tenants have in common with our anxious minds? Maybe it's a desire to control—to hold tightly to something that was never ours to possess.What if instead we brought our whole selves to God? Our needs and wants. Our fears and hopes. Our anxiety and gratitude. What if surrender, rather than positive thinking, is where we find peace?A reflection on Philippians 4:6–9 and Matthew 21:33–43 from the Sisters of Divine Providence of Kentucky and God Space.Come as you are.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when determination takes you up the wrong mountain?Robin Harris—technologist, certified hypnotherapist, interfaith minister, storyteller, and advocate for human potential—joins Joey Pinz to explore how social conditioning, fear, technology, and spiritual disconnection can pull people away from the lives they were meant to create.Robin explains how an unexpected layoff ended a decades-long chapter in technology and forced her to reconsider her path. She shares how evolutionary astrology helped her recognize patterns she wishes she had understood 20 years earlier—and why hard work alone cannot save us when it is directed toward the wrong destination.The conversation also examines artificial intelligence and the growing risk of allowing technological capability to outpace human wisdom. Robin argues that AI computes but does not possess conscience, making critical thinking, discernment, self-awareness, and human oversight more important than ever.From anime's “I must get stronger” mindset to hypnotherapy, sacred intelligence, spiritual wounds, creative storytelling, and the courage to activate our potential, this episode asks a powerful question: Are you consciously designing your life—or living a story chosen by someone else?

Mountain-moving prayer

You've got decades of experience, a coaching offer you believe in, and a real desire to help. So you hand people everything at once: the full program, the 50-page workbook, the whole planet. And they don't come closer. They back away.This is Part 3 of the "I Know a Guy" series. Adam and Jess already built the Sun, which is the tension you solve over and over, and the Planet, which is the one offer built around it. Now they're adding the Moons: the small, attractive pieces that orbit your offer and pull the right people toward it. In plain terms, lead magnets.Adam brings the food court. Anyone who walked through a mall in the 80s remembers the person holding out one piece of orange chicken on a toothpick. You didn't get the whole plate. You got one bite, it was good, and you went and bought lunch. He also points to Sam Gaudet on Instagram as an example of giving simple, specific value with no strings attached. Jess brings the build: what a lead magnet actually is, why it should deliver a win in under 30 minutes, and why half of what she gives away is a Google Doc. She's grown her own email list almost to the size of ILC's in six months, mostly through lead magnets. She's not bragging; it's what happened, and it shows how easy the trade is when the value is obvious.What you'll learn:What a lead magnet actually is: a small solution to a micro problem, exchanged for an email addressWhy a quick win in under 30 minutes builds more trust than a 56-page workbookHow to lower the friction (and why "book a call" or a ten-field form kills the trade)Why the gift is a microtransaction, not a sales pitch, and why that still builds a relationshipThe long play Sam Gaudet and Caleb Ralston run, and why most coaches need a shorter oneHow to build lead magnets from content you already have, like ILC's Maslow's Mountain seriesWhy you can have several moons for different rooms, all pointing back to one offerThe Big Idea: Experienced coaches struggle with this more than anyone. They either want to give it all away or keep it all locked up until someone pays. Neither works. People don't want proof of how valuable you are. They want a payoff on a problem they already know they have. Give away one piece of your best stuff, small enough to finish and good enough to trust, and the bigger conversation gets much easier.Notable Quote: "You have to let go of some of your highest and best things, and those become the attractors, the moons that orbit the planet." — Jess WebberResources Mentioned:Lead Magnets Made Simple (Jess's class recording, built to help you launch a lead magnet in under an hour): https://jesswebber.com/leadmagnetsBig Ideas Made Simple Ep. 34, "They Don't Need All of It, They Need the Best of It" (Jess's episode from the same week on simplifying what you teach): https://jesswebber.com/bigideasmadesimple/simplify-what-you-teachJess's inbox organization lead magnet, as an example of a low-friction opt-in: inbox.bigideasmadesimple.comMaslow's Mountain series and workbook, as an example of a lead magnet built from existing podcast content: ilovecoachingco.com/maslowILC's "Find Your Path" / "Start Here" lead magnets: ilovecoachingco.comSam Gaudet on Instagram (Adam's example of simple, value-first lead magnets)Caleb Ralston and Ralston Select (Jess's example of the long audience-building play)Ep. 192, "I Know a Guy, Pt. 1: Find Your Coaching Gravity"Ep. 193, "I Know a Guy, Pt. 2: Find Your One Planet"Instagram: @ilovecoachingco / @adamrroach / @thejesswebberYouTube: youtube.com/@ilovecoachingcoTimestamps: [00:00] Intro: Star Wars, Star Trek, and the Moons [00:51] Recap: the Sun, the Planet, and why the whole offer overwhelms [01:44] Gravity, tractor beams, and pulling people into your world [03:45] What a lead magnet actually is [05:20] Adam's mall food court: orange chicken on a toothpick [07:13] Sam Gaudet and value with no strings attached [08:25] The long play: Sam Gaudet and Caleb Ralston [09:43] It's a microtransaction, not a sales pitch [10:30] The under-30-minute win (and why 56 pages misses it) [11:00] Jess's inbox lead magnet and the easy-to-remember URL [12:33] Lower the friction: the form fields nobody needs [14:19] Build from what you already have: Maslow's Mountain [15:10] Google Docs count, and how Jess grew her list in six months [16:20] Big thinkers give away too much, or nothing at all [17:11] People want a payoff, not proof of your value [18:20] The toothpick vs. the whole plate [20:18] Multiple moons for different rooms, one offer [21:50] Where to go nextJoin the Community: If you've been giving away the whole planet and wondering why nobody's orbiting, start with the simple stuff.

Most of the people in this episode aren't famous. You probably won't find their names in the record books.That's exactly why Beyond the Chutes went to Mountain Cove.We went. We listened. We recorded.In McLemore Cove near Chickamauga, Georgia, rodeo history runs deep. Records show rodeos being held at Mountain Cove as far back as the late 1940s, and in 1953 a local newspaper reported approximately 6,000 people attending three rodeo performances there.In 2026, the old arena is gone, but the people and the stories remain.At the Mountain Cove Rodeo Reunion, old friends came back together to remember the miles they traveled, the people who helped them along the way, the friends who are no longer here, and the next generation carrying pieces of that life forward.You'll hear about nights spent driving from one rodeo to the next, friendships that lasted decades, a 1:30 a.m. knock on a stranger's door, the old Mountain Cove rodeo grounds, a Saturday night rodeo at nearby Kensington, and the people whose memories now help preserve a part of rodeo history that might otherwise disappear.Because rodeo history doesn't belong only to champions and famous names.It also lives with the people who drove all night, hauled livestock, sold tickets, raised their kids around rodeo, helped one another when somebody broke down, and came back years later to tell the stories again.We went. We listened. We recorded.Because These Stories Matter.Presented by ParaSight Systems.Chapters00:00 — The Road Brought Them Back A few voices tell you immediately why this reunion matters.00:10 — Mountain Cove: Where Rodeo Came Before Us The history of McLemore Cove, Mountain Cove Farms, and the rodeos once held there.02:27 — See Who's Still Here Old friends, old stories, and the people everyone hoped to find again.08:18 — You Never Forget the Road Long drives, breakdowns, crowded motel rooms, and the friendships built between rodeos.14:22 — Last Night at Kensington A Saturday night rodeo reminds us that another generation is already making its own memories.20:30 — The Ones Who Aren't Here Remembering the cowboys, cowgirls, friends, and family members who didn't make it back.25:05 — It Keeps Going Children, grandchildren, craftsmanship, music, and the traditions being carried forward.28:49 — Why These Stories Matter Why Beyond the Chutes records oral histories and works to preserve rodeo history.31:15 — Happy Trails Until we meet again.Short Episode SummaryBeyond the Chutes travels to the 2026 Mountain Cove Rodeo Reunion near Chickamauga, Georgia, where generations of rodeo people gather to remember the road, the friendships, those who are gone, and the traditions still being carried forward.Keywords / TagsBeyond the Chutes, Mountain Cove Rodeo Reunion, Mountain Cove Farms, McLemore Cove, Chickamauga Georgia, rodeo history, rodeo oral history, rodeo reunion, cowboy stories, rodeo documentary, Georgia rodeo, Kensington Rodeo, bull riding history, rodeo legends, Western history, American rodeo history, Because These Stories Matter

In this episode, we listen to a man admonishing his heart, as portrayed in Sangam Literary work, Aganaanooru 342, penned by Madurai Kanakkaayanaar. The verse is situated amidst the rocky clefts of the ‘Kurinji’ or ‘Mountain landscape’ and describes the warring nature of the Pandya King. ஒறுப்ப ஓவலை; நிறுப்ப நில்லலை;புணர்ந்தோர் போலப் போற்றுமதி! நினக்கு யான்கிளைஞன் அல்லெனோ? நெஞ்சே! தெனாஅதுவெல் போர்க் கவுரியர் நல் நாட்டு உள்ளதைமண் கொள் புற்றத்து அருப்பு உழை திறப்பின்ஆ கொள் மூதூர்க் கள்வர் பெருமகன்,ஏவல் இளையர் தலைவன், மேவார்அருங் குறும்பு எறிந்த ஆற்றலொடு, பருந்து படப்பல் செருக் கடந்த செல் உறழ் தடக் கை,கெடாஅ நல் இசைத் தென்னன் தொடாஅநீர் இழி மருங்கில் கல் அளைக் கரந்த அவ்வரையரமகளிரின் அரியள்,அவ் வரி அல்குல் அணையாக்காலே! In this little trip to the hills, we get a glimpse of history, as we listen to the man say these words to his heart, at a time when he’s unable to meet with the lady, during a planned tryst by night: “Even when I scold you, you seem to mind it not; Even when I stop you, you seem not to let it go; Please pay heed to my words like one, who loves me; Am I not your kith and kin, O heart? In the south, in the fine country of the victorious Kauriyars, rules the king, who has undying fame and thick long arms. After breaking open jungle forts, akin to termite mud mounds, and stealing cattle, this lord of the bandits, who hails from an ancient town, the leader of many youngsters, seizes formidable forts of his enemies, and crosses many battlefields, where vultures rove the skies. In his domain, are those untouched spaces, filled with waterfalls, where heavenly mountain maiden hide in rock clefts. It's harder to see my beloved than even those celestial maiden! Without understanding that, O heart, you behave so, when I don't get to embrace her fine-lined waist!” Let’s listen in on this intimate conversation and learn more! The man starts by expressing his annoyance at his heart, talking about how his heart does not seem to heed to his instructions, no matter how much he scolds it or asks it to stop. He then pleads to his heart to behave like a good friend, asking his heart to see him as its kith and kin! After that curious opening, the man goes on to talk about the Pandya King and his many exploits such as destroying mud forts as well as the strongly guarded enemy forts, stealing cattle, leading youth, winning many battles and hailing from an ancient town. He also talks about the king’s unceasing fame and his fine long arms. Then, leaving the king’s attributes, the man turns to focus on the king’s country, where there are unexplored spaces, filled with flowing waterfalls and having mountain clefts nearby, where celestial maiden were said to hide. Now, the man connects the rarity of seeing those maiden to the rarity of his meeting his beloved and concludes by talking about how his heart keeps going back to the lady, even though it’s clear it’s impossible to attain her!  Fascinating the way the man brings out how sometimes our inner selves are at such contradiction to how we want them to behave. Haven’t we all felt at times our heart seems to have a mind of its own? It’s this human attribute the man captures in these words, echoing his valiant attempts to handle his moment of disappointment!

Missouri Deputy attorney general Shaun Mackelprang continues to recover after being rescued on a mountain in Wyoming. Mr. Mackelprang spoke on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Missouri" and shared his story. He also praises first responders:

Verena bringt reichlich Erfahrung aus Ultra-Events wie Badlands oder dem Bohemian Border Bash Race mit, während Nina als Bikepacking-Rookie aus Namibia nach einem 900-km-Erlebnis auf Mallorca spontan Ja zu einem der härtesten Rennen der Welt gesagt hat. Nach nur wenigen gemeinsamen Treffen gingen die beiden als Duo beim berüchtigten Silk Road Mountain Race in Kirgistan an den Start.Im Podcast sprechen Verena und Nina offen über ihren harten Weg durch das Hochgebirge, kilometerlange Hike-a-Bike-Passagen, unberechenbaren Peanutbutter-Schlamm und die ständige Angst vor der Schnecke. Sie erzählen von den physischen Extremen wie Höhenkrankheit und geschwollenen Gesichtern auf über 3.500 Metern sowie einem dreisten Diebstahl in einer Nachbarjurte in der letzten Nacht.Wir sprechen über die Ausrüstung als Pair, Esbit-Kocher für heiße Fertignudeln, lückenloses Strom-Management mit Naben-Dynamos und Pufferakkus sowie die ungeschönte Realität von Wundscheuern, Feuchtigkeit und defekten Schaltwerken. Und vor allem: wie eine funktionierende Paar-Dynamik mit dem richtigen Humor selbst in den tiefsten Krisen den Unterschied macht.Viel Spaß!

Your negative thoughts aren't defeated with better thoughts — they're defeated with words.In this message, Pastor Bill Scheer breaks down the connection between grace, humility, and a renewed mind — and why your words, not just your thoughts, carry spiritual authority. From temptation only lasting a few seconds to why "a door God closes, no man can open," this message walks through 2 Corinthians 5:17, Romans 12, and 2 Corinthians 9:8 to show what it means to live from a position of grace instead of striving. It closes with a challenge to stop praying "nickel-and-dime prayers" and start praying big.Subscribe.Connect With Us.0:00 Welcome & how Guts Church started1:25 Give no place to the devil1:53 God resists the proud, gives grace to the humble3:44 God owns the superlatives5:19 Temptation only lasts 3 to 8 seconds6:38 Get back into alignment with God8:14 The timing of God is tied to trusting His Word10:15 A new creation in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17)11:17 Renewed by the Word (Romans 12)13:21 Grace changes your position, renewed mind changes how you live16:37 My latter days will be greater than my former17:53 Put off the old man, put on the new20:24 A door no man can close23:07 God is able (2 Corinthians 9:8)27:11 Speak to the mountain28:14 Praying multi-million dollar prayers

Doug Scott broke both his legs 23,900 feet above sea level on one of the world's most technically demanding mountains. No rescue team was waiting. No helicopter stood by. For eight days, Scott and his climbing partner Chris Bonington faced a descent that should have killed them—navigating crevasses, rappelling with broken legs, surviving a five-day storm with no food and wet sleeping bags in the death zone. But the real question isn't how they survived the mountain. It's what each person on that team did at every moment when survival seemed impossible. This is the story of how humans respond when everything goes catastrophically wrong.00:00 Welcome to The Crux01:50 Meet the Climbers03:24 Why the Ogre Matters04:47 Expedition Setup and Early Injury07:35 Final Summit Push11:44 The Fall and Broken Legs15:56 Night on the Ledge19:49 Crawling Descent and Regroup23:08 Stormbound Survival28:26 Base Camp Abandoned30:37 Mo Runs for Rescue33:33 Porter Carry and Helicopter Twist37:35 Aftermath and Lessons40:56 Closing ThoughtsREFERENCES:Chris Bonington, "The Ogre," American Alpine Journal, 1978Doug Scott, "A Crawl Down The Ogre," Himalayan Journal, 1979Doug Scott, The Ogre: Biography of a Mountain and the Dramatic Story of the First Ascent, Vertebrate Publishing, 2017Gripped Magazine, "The Climber Who Broke Both Legs and Crawled Off a Himalayan Mountain"Mo Anthoine, expedition audio recordingsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-crux-true-survival-stories--7265181/support.Listen AD FREE: Support our podcast at patreon: http://patreon.com/TheCruxTrueSurvivalPodcastEmail us! thecruxsurvival@gmail.comInstagram https://www.instagram.com/thecruxpodcast/Get schooled by Julie in wilderness medicine! https://www.headwatersfieldmedicine.com/This episode includes AI-generated content.

It was two years ago this past week that Hurricane-turned-Tropical Storm Helene inundated and devastated large swaths of western North Carolina with unprecedented rainfall and flooding. All tolled the disaster took more than 100 lives, inflicted more than 60 billion dollars in damage and wrecked many significant segments of the region's economy. For Gov. Josh Stein, who took office just three months after the storm hit, Helene recovery quickly became the Number One priority for his new administration and a multi-year project that would come to occupy a huge proportion of his time and attention. And with such a huge, unprecedented and unexpected logistical and political challenge suddenly on his lap, Stein quickly found an intelligent and dedicated administrator to serve as, in effect, the state's recovery czar — former Wake County Board of Commissioners member Matt Calabria. And this past week, Newsline caught up with Calabria for an extended conversation about how things are going. In Part One of our recent conversation with Calabria, we took stock of how the recovery  is proceeding – the successes, the challenges and the works still to be done — two years after the disaster devastated much of our state's mountainous western region. Mountain strong: North Carolina marks the 2-year anniversary of Hurricane Helene In Part Two of our conversation, we dug deeper into several of these subjects – looking not just at the heroic work that's been done to clean up the mess and rebuild the private homes and public infrastructure destroyed by the storm, but also the huge challenges that continue to confront the region's economy and the wellbeing of the people who've stayed and are trying to rebuild their lives, as well as the need to better prepare for the inevitable future natural disasters that are sure to impact the state.

What is God asking you to trust Him for today? What step of obedience have you been afraid to take because you cannot see how everything is going to come together? You do not have to have every answer before you obey. You need to know the One who is sending you. And for some of you, that is where this begins. Before there is an assignment to fulfill, there is a Savior to follow. Jesus said, “Repent and believe in the gospel.” Maybe the step God is asking you to take today is simply to surrender your life to Jesus Christ. Whether you need to say yes to Christ for the first time, or you know God has been dealing with you about something you need to step into, I want to invite you to respond.

On the Mountain of the Lord - Genesis 22 - Stephen Watson

Marine Corps veteran, Mr. Evan Eldridge, was home sick from school watching the 2003 invasion of Iraq and felt like he was missing out on something that would shape his generation. Not only did that change his immediate plans for college, but it changed his whole life.Over the next decade, Evan would have jobs in the Corps that he hated and jobs that he loved. He would deploy to Iraq and Afghanistan, as well as a little jaunt to Ghana. Many of his goals and ambitions went unrealized, but after meeting his wife, starting a family, and finally getting the job he wanted most, Evan knew he was exactly where he was meant to be. By the time he chose to leave the Marines, Evan was already struggling with mental health and substance abuse. His struggles persisted through several different jobs after service, and the road to recovery isn't easy, but faith, family, and becoming The Veritable Veteran has kept Evan moving forward, and his desire to serve others hasn't diminished one bit.In the Free Fire Area, we give our thoughts on the recent passing of an American icon and then discuss some of the dumbest and most useless inventions ever.

Today we're diving into one of the most debated realms in Christian history: Purgatory. We're going beyond pop culture clichés and fiery stereotypes to trace how the idea of a purifying afterlife evolved over thousands of years—from mystical visions and burned handprints to Dante's iconic mountain and Martin Luther's Reformation. Is Purgatory clearly laid out in Scripture, or is it a complex doctrine stitched together across centuries? WELCOME TO RELIGION CAMP!

COURTESY Part 1 - The Mountain

Harold had a purple crayon that could bring anything into being — a bicycle, a friend, an entire world drawn from imagination. Children accept that kind of possibility without hesitation. But somewhere between childhood and adulthood, imagination and faith both tend to quietly diminish, and the things that once seemed possible begin to feel out of reach. The Christian walk, however, is built entirely on believing in what cannot yet be seen — which is why cultivating faith is not optional. Without it, Hebrews 11:6 tells us, it is impossible to please God. Matthew 17:20 gives us one of Jesus' most memorable and encouraging pictures of what faith can accomplish. A mustard seed — 1 to 2 millimeters in diameter — was the smallest seed known to the farmers of Jesus' day. And yet that same seed can grow into a bush-like tree 10 to 20 feet tall. The point is not that small faith is sufficient on its own, but that even small, genuine faith in an infinitely capable God is enough to move mountains. The size of the faith is not what matters — the size of the God that faith is placed in does. Faith grows the same way a mustard seed does: slowly, steadily, through consistent nourishment. Prayer, time in Scripture, and the daily practice of applying God's Word in real life are the conditions in which trust deepens and mountains begin to move. Trust in His might today, and watch what He can do. Bible Verse "Truly I tell you, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this mountain, 'Move from here to there,' and it will move. Nothing will be impossible for you."— Matthew 17:20, NIV Ponder Today The size of your faith matters less than the One your faith is placed in. A mustard seed is small — but planted in the right conditions, it grows into something extraordinary. Faith in an infinite God, however small it begins, carries the power of the One it trusts. Faith must be cultivated — it does not grow on autopilot. Prayer, Bible reading, and applying God's teachings in daily life are the soil and water that faith requires. Neglect those practices and faith will weaken; invest in them and it will grow. Doubt is not a disqualifier — it is an invitation to bring weakness to God. The disciples had little faith, and Jesus responded not with condemnation but with correction and instruction. Our honest admission of small faith opens the door to God's growing work in us. Mountain-moving faith begins with trusting God with what is directly in front of you. The impossible things require the same God as the everyday things. Faithfulness in small acts of trust builds the capacity for larger ones over time. Every answered prayer is evidence of God's faithfulness, not our own spiritual achievement. Remembering that truth when doubt creeps in keeps our faith properly oriented — not in our own capacity to believe, but in the God who acts on behalf of those who trust Him. A Prayer for You Today Dear Jesus, I want to have a faith that can move mountains. My faith tends to be quite small at times, and I doubt You. Please forgive me and guide my heart to greater faith and trust in You. Encourage my heart to cultivate faith by studying the Bible, praying to You, and applying Your teachings in my life. Turn my heart away from anything that distracts me from You. Challenge my heart to believe in the impossible — nothing is too hard for You. Fill my heart with the knowledge that You will answer my prayers and help me move mountains in my life. Help me remember this truth when I am struggling with doubt. I am trusting You with my prayers, my life, and my future. In Your name, Amen. Want More?

Send us Fan MailPrayer can feel like one more thing to “get done,” but that mindset quietly drains it of power. We sit down with Father Stephen Sanchez, a Discalced Carmelite priest, and walk through the Carmelite tradition to recover what prayer actually is: a living relationship with Jesus Christ that changes your desires, your choices, and the shape of your life.We connect the dots from the Rule of St Albert and the early hermits of Mount Carmel to the church's struggle through war, famine, and the Black Death, including why the Carmelite rule was mitigated in 1432. From there we follow the fire that refused to die out, especially in the “Institution of the First Monks,” with its two aims for the spiritual life: purity of heart and real experiential awareness of God's presence. That thread leads straight to St Teresa of Avila's reform, her insistence on smaller communities, and her longing for friends of God who are truly “good ones.”Then we bring it home with the core of Carmelite spirituality today: contemplative prayer as relationship, not a checklist. We talk about the practical marks of healthy Christian spirituality, including concrete love for the poor, community life, vulnerability, and the hard work of letting go of control. We also unpack why Teresa and John of the Cross lean on bridal and friendship language and how desert spirituality forces a choice between comfort and conversion.If you're hungry for a deeper interior life, this conversation is for you.

Brian Bloom has spent his career in front of and behind the camera as an actor, voice actor, and screenwriter. Mitch Hall served as a Navy SEAL with the Naval Special Warfare Development Group and later worked as a technical advisor and producer in film and television. For more than five years they have run the Ground Truth investigation into what happened on Roberts Ridge. In this last installment, they explain what it took to get back on top of Takur Ghar. They wrote to the Taliban, got permission, and spent a day on the summit testing sight lines and lighting. They also sat with men from the villages below who fought in the battle. From there we worked through the footage, the red-on-red question, and the documents behind the Medal of Honor upgrade. They laid out years of outreach to the Air Force and others who chose not to participate. They also addressed an upcoming feature film based on a version of events they say their findings contradict. The conversation ends on heroism, blame, and why the truth still matters after 25 years.

Over the last 10 years, Dr Jane Orton has visited the remote Spiti Valley in the Himalayas to speak to the local Bhoti people about their lore and spiritual beliefs. In the many villages across the valley, stories about the deities are consistent from place to place but also transfigured. She hears about deities like Lhas, powerful beings that have been incorporated into Buddhism. Lhas serve many purposes from protection and curing illnesses to ensuring water security by bringing snow. Jane hears about Biyuls – hidden lands – where people are like those of Spiti valley, except they have no salt and only certain people can see and hear them. And she chases stories of the figure of Balu Thukangbu, a wish granting entity. Spiti Valley is rapidly changing, but its hidden deities remain a part of the spiritual life of the region.

Our text today is 2 Peter 1:16-18: For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased," we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain. — 2 Peter 1:16-18 Peter knew that some people would dismiss the message of Jesus as a religious hoax. So he makes his position clear: the apostles did not follow "cleverly devised myths" when they proclaimed the power and coming of Christ. Peter had seen the glory of Jesus for himself. On the Mountain of Transfiguration, he watched Jesus's appearance change before his eyes. He heard the Father declare that Jesus was his beloved Son. For a brief moment, Peter was given a preview of the majesty that will be fully revealed when Christ returns. Honestly, I am a little jealous of his sneak peek. But the point is, the Christian hope is not built on Peter's imagination. It rests on eyewitness testimony, the most powerful testimony we have still today. This matters because Christian faith is sometimes described by outsiders as belief without evidence. But biblical faith is confidence in what God has revealed through real events and trustworthy witnesses. Peter was not offering an inspiring idea about Jesus. He was reporting what he had seen and heard. There are moments when I feel the inclination to treat the return of Christ as some distant doctrine rather than a coming reality. Peter's testimony reminds me that the King whose glory he witnessed will one day be revealed to everyone. Jesus may appear irrelevant to the world right now, but Peter saw beyond the veil. He saw Christ's ultimate majesty which is our reality. Folks, we have not stood on that mountain, but we have the testimony of those who did. That witness, Peter, calls us to live with confidence, obedience, and expectation. The present realities of this world are not final. Jesus Christ is the beloved Son, the glorious King, and he is coming again. Peter saw his majesty, and he wants us to live in that reality till Jesus comes again. DO THIS: Read 2 Peter 1:16–18 slowly and underline in your scripture journal what Peter saw and heard. Then let the reality of Christ's return shape one decision you make today. ASK THIS: Why does Peter's eyewitness testimony matter for our confidence in Jesus? Do you tend to live as though Christ's return is a distant idea or a coming reality? What would change today if you remained conscious that Jesus is the glorious King? PRAY THIS: Jesus, strengthen my confidence in the apostles' testimony and help me live today in expectation of your glorious return. Amen PLAY THIS: King of Kings

In 1994, eighteen-year-old Brian Canfield was driving along a dark road in the foothills of Washington when his pickup suddenly died. Then something dropped out of the sky. He described a nine-foot creature covered in blue fur, with yellow eyes, a wolf-like face, clawed feet, and enormous leathery wings.For several minutes, the two simply stared at each other before the creature took flight—and Brian's truck inexplicably started again. The encounter would give the Pacific Northwest a new cryptid: Batsquatch. But somewhere along the way, the story changed, moving the creature to a completely different mountain and surrounding it with a mythology that wasn't there in 1994.Tonight, we go looking for the real story behind Batsquatch.

A business cannot scale beyond its founder unless the founder is also willing to evolve. In this episode, Steve Preda, Founder and CEO of Summit OS Group, discusses the systems founders need to build scalable, leadership-led companies. Steve shares how business operating frameworks helped him grow and sell his investment banking firm, which in turn inspired him to create Summit OS. He explains how the system establishes execution momentum, develops leaders into “mini CEOs,” and helps businesses progress from operational discipline to strategic differentiation. He also touches on why healthcare professionals must understand the business they lead, even when they delegate its daily management, and why continual reinvention is essential as companies grow and face disruption. Tune in to learn how the right systems can help founders strengthen execution, empower their teams, and build businesses that can scale beyond them!

On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz discuss the perennial appeal of survival stories. They trace the theme of man versus nature from early novels like Daniel Defoe's “Robinson Crusoe” to new releases like “Heart of the Beast,” in which Brad Pitt plays a grizzled veteran traversing the Alaskan wilderness with a canine companion. Survivalist themes are common in reality franchises like “Survivor,” now in its fifty-first season, and the History Channel show “Alone.” But a new offering from Channel 4, “Apocalypse,” takes the format in a darker direction: contestants profess their fears about societal collapse as they compete for food and shelter on an abandoned military base. As anxiety rises about the climate crisis and the potential for an A.I. takeover, the question of survival seems more pressing than ever—and yet these tales of rugged individualism can seem out of step with the times. “They don't really describe our condition,” Cunningham says. “Unless you are in fact marooned somewhere, there are other people. It's harder to dramatize surviving together than it is surviving alone.”  Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “Heart of the Beast” (2026)  “A Marriage at Sea: A True Story of Love, Obsession, and Shipwreck,” by Sophie Elmhirst “All is Lost” (2013) “Hatchet,” by Gary Paulsen “My Side of the Mountain,” by Jean Craighead George “Island of the Blue Dolphins,” by Scott O'Dell  “Cast Away” (2000) “Rescue Dawn” (2006)  “The Ecstatic Truth,” by Daniel Zalewski (The New Yorker) “The Rise of the Novel: Studies in Defoe, Richardson and Fielding,” by Ian Watt “The Revenant” (2015)  “Little House in the Big Woods,” by Laura Ingalls Wilder “Alone” (2015-) “Survivor” (2000-) “Apocalypse” (2026)  “Tuesday, and After” (The New Yorker) New episodes drop every Thursday.
