"There is a cure for addiciton, and His name is Jesus."- Storyteller, Candace Jones According to the 2023 United States National Survey on Drug Use and Health over 48 million Americans battled a substance use disorder over the past year, making it abundantly clear- addiction does not discriminate. Today on the podcast, Candace Jones, who spoke at our Mountain Brook community's live gathering, shares her story of struggling with drugs and alcohol and how she quickly spiraled into the evil and dark world of selling drugs. Through her candidness, Candace clearly reminds us of the importance of having a relationship with Jesus, relying on Him rather than yourself, and the imperative role community plays when you are battling the lies of the enemy. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: -Addiciton can affect anyone-it does not care where you are from or what type of family you grew up in- and it can quickly take over your life. -God is seeking after a relationship with you, not religion and rules. - When God restores, He can do immeasurably more than you can ask or imagine.

David Gornoski spoke at The Gathering event in Mountain Brook, Alabama on March 20, 2025. alpolitics.com: "David Gornoski closed the program with a mix of scriptural readings, interpretations and correlations with current national and international events. He pointed out that many of President Trump's most popular ideas originally came from Ron Paul, including no taxes on tips and Social Security, no foreign aid, and no wars. He also discussed the Epstein Island scandal and how Jesus' example shows us that we should not expect Kings or Princes to save us. Instead, we should be working to save ourselves and our communities." Follow David Gornoski on X here: https://x.com/DavidGornoski Visit https://aneighborschoice.com for more

Sin followed by subsequent shame and guilt can send us into some of the darkest places of loneliness, isolation, and weariness… places where the Lord never intended for us to be. After all, Jesus came to bring abundant life (John 10:10) and rest for our souls (Matthew 11:28-29). Dawson Cooper, who spoke at our live gathering in Mountain Brook, Alabama, beautifully reminds us of these truths as she recounts her journey of walking through an unplanned pregnancy and subsequent marriage to becoming a parent and letting go of childhood dreams. In her story, Dawson sweetly shares the gospel message of redemption, as she encourages us to look to Jesus alone to fulfill our needs and see the moments of life where His Holy Spirit has shown up - reminding us His fingerprints are all over our stories. IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: - Admitting your weaknesses to others can be powerful in the hands of God. - God never intended for you to carry shame and guilt - He longs for you to bring those heavy burdens to Him. - Your past doesn't define you - you are righteous through the blood of Jesus Christ.

Welcome to the New Year! Our kickoff story is all about new beginnings—but it's not what you think. This truth-filled tale will inspire you to get your heart right for 2025. Jane Menendez, of our Mountain Brook community, openly shares about a seed of bitterness that settled in her heart long ago. The seed grew into a grudge, which Jane watered and nursed for more than 15 years. Jane bears it all, covering a lawsuit, financial insecurity, and eventually confessing the repetitive ways she entertained resentment in her heart. For decades, Jane tried hard to love, and she tried hard to forgive. Ultimately, only a right view of her own sin could bring about change. As you listen to how Jane learned to face the truth of herself, we think you'll do some necessary soul-searching, too. In this episode, you will learn: –The Lord will show you your sin, but He will also show you His love and faithfulness. –Repentance is uncomfortable but freeing. –If you're feeling stuck in your situation, you can candidly ask the Lord to help you forgive.

Tara Davis, of our Mountain Brook, Alabama community, experienced a childhood with some emotional and physical abandonment. As a result, learning independence and self-reliance came easily. But unlearning them? Not easy at all. In the midst of relationship hurts, financial rock-bottoms, and even the murder of her mother, Tara finally found that surrendering in suffering is the true way to peace. Listen and learn that freedom comes when you trust God with your deepest despair and live with dependence on Him. In this episode, you will learn: – When you have the right view of your circumstances, peace and hope are possible. – Self-reliant roads lead to dead ends. Full trust in God leads to freedom. – The Lord is near you, and He hears your prayers.

Each of us has those first person friendships from back in the day. Bucky McMillan is one of those guys for me. If you know one thing about him, it's his love for basketball. While most of my friends ventured into corporate America, Bucky pursued his passion as an AAU basketball coach, earning $1,500 a year. He knew his path and excelled. But learn how he made it work.In 2013, Bucky led Mountain Brook Schools to national prominence, transforming them into one of the best high school teams in the country. Mountain Brook wasn't known for athletic prowess until he worked his magic.Fast forward to 2020, Samford University recognized Bucky's talent, hiring him to coach their men's basketball program. From just 9 wins initially, he guided them to their first NCAA tournament in 25 years within four years, in 2024.Whether he coaches a Final 4 team or makes it to the NBA remains to be seen, but I am confident in his success.Recently, I caught up with Bucky and his staff over dinner, discussing college athletics, the transfer portal, NIL, his potential, and esteemed colleagues like Nate Oats and Bruce Pearl. He holds nothing back.As the dog days of summer roll in, it's a perfect time to reconnect with individuals who achieve remarkable feats. Don't miss out on hearing Bucky's story and insights - he's an hour well spent for any sports enthusiast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He was a spiritual teacher who taught and lectured on the subject of metaphysics based upon the Absolute, or as referred to today, non-duality. Samuel never sought to be well known or venerated himself, and did not embrace the idea of being called a "teacher". However, he has been widely recognized by many as a genuine true Master. Samuel also preferred not to be labeled, categorized or assigned to any religion, particular study, nor tied to any spiritual teaching. William Samuel was the first American student to meet and sit with Ramana Maharshi, and recounts the meeting in a short anecdote: “Some years ago I was honored to be the first American student of a renowned teacher in India. For fourteen days a group of us sat at the feet of this "Master," during which time he spoke not one word—not so much as a grunt—until the final day when he bade us farewell and assured us we had learned much. And to my surprise, I had. It took months before the seeds of those silent days began to sprout one by one, revealing that there are indeed many things for which the uptight, recondite babble of books and teachers is more hindrance than a help.”
As the story unfolds, the main suspect in the high-profile disappearance of Alabama teenager Natalee Holloway, Joran van der Sloot, is slated to plead guilty to federal charges. The courtroom will be in a tense anticipation this Wednesday as it weighs a plea deal with significant implications. The Holloway family attorney, John Q. Kelly, in a recent interview with the Today Show, shed light on the conditions tied to this plea deal. "The plea is predicated on Mr. van der Sloot divulging the specifics of how Natalee met her tragic end and the manner in which her body was discarded," Kelly stated. To understand the gravity of these charges, one needs to rewind a bit. van der Sloot had previously entered a "not guilty" plea for one count each of extortion and wire fraud, aimed at Natalee Holloway's grieving mother, Beth Holloway. The root of these charges? A sinister plot wherein Beth Holloway was promised crucial information about her daughter's unfortunate fate in exchange for a whopping $250,000. This tale took a twist in 2010 when the tips that Kelly received turned out to be a sham, triggering the federal charges in the U.S. However, Kelly is now optimistic about the new information as part of van der Sloot's revised plea agreement. "The FBI has meticulously vetted the intel shared by van der Sloot. The plea agreement hinges on this corroboration and any other substantiation they managed to secure from the shared details. So far, the information seems credible enough for both Beth and Dave," Kelly elaborated. In the lead-up to this anticipated hearing, van der Sloot's legal team secured multiple pretrial extensions, prolonging the agony for the Holloway family. Set for 9:30 a.m. at the federal courthouse in Birmingham, the plea and sentencing hearing was remarkably brief, clocking in at under five minutes. During this hearing, van der Sloot confidently declined the assistance of a Dutch translator, asserting, "My English is actually pretty perfect." When quizzed by Judge Gray Boden about comprehending his Constitutional rights and the charges levied against him, van der Sloot unflinchingly responded, "Yes sir." Notably, he chose to forgo a reading of his two-count indictment, and his not guilty plea was communicated through his attorney, Kevin Butler. The prosecution underscored the importance of keeping van der Sloot in U.S. custody, referencing a treaty with Peru where he is still slated to complete his sentence for a separate murder case. A Look at the Background The story traces back to 2005, when Natalee Holloway, a vibrant 18-year-old from Mountain Brook, Alabama, embarked on what should have been a joyous high school graduation trip to Aruba. Tragically, she never boarded her return flight home. Eyewitnesses, including her classmates, last spotted her with a then 17-year-old Joran van der Sloot and a couple of his acquaintances outside a club. While the trio claimed to have safely dropped her off at a hotel, their subsequent detention was short-lived due to insufficient evidence. In a shocking revelation in 2010, van der Sloot reached out to a cooperative witness via email, proposing a deal. He expressed willingness to accept $250,000 from the Holloway family, pledging in return to lead them to Natalee's remains, identify those involved in her death, and elucidate the events leading to it. As a gesture of good faith, he agreed to accept an upfront payment of $25,000 to guide the witness to the body, with the promise of receiving the balance upon recovery. The Holloway family transferred the first installment of $10,000 in cash, followed by a wire of $15,000. This transaction set the stage for the wire fraud charge against him. In conclusion, as the Holloway family seeks closure, the world watches keenly. Only time will tell if the truth about Natalee Holloway's disappearance will finally come to light.
