Our July episode has host and gerontologist, Sherri Snelling, talking with Saudia Gajadhar, Chief Happiness Officer at Comfort Keepers about this year's National Day of Joy survey among older adults and family caregivers and Comfort Keepers' role in the new PBS documentary, “Caregiving.” In CAREGIVER WELLNESS NEWS, Sherri shares the latest stats to highlight July's National Sandwich Generation Month as well as global wellness hacks for International Self-Care Day (July 24). She also talks about a new habit-stacking wellness trend for older women who care caregiving: how “rucking” is the new “walking.” And a new study shows the significant stress burden on caregivers of those with dementia or Alzheimer's who wander. As an intro to the interview with Saudia, Sherri shares the difference between happiness vs. joy from her book, ME TIME MONDAY. In our WELL HOME DESIGN NEWS, Sherri focuses on the financial wellness challenges for the Sandwich Generation including a recent Edward Jones survey showing Sandwich Generation caregivers need more education from financial advisor about long-term care costs; and the actual monetary responsibility many Gen X, Millennials and older Gen Z are taking on caring for children and older parents at the same time. Sherri also shares the topics from the July “Self-Care in 7 Minutes” videos found on the Caregiving Club YouTube channel: Caregiver Bill of Rights, How Alice in Wonderland Helps Caregivers Build Resiliency, 10 Global Wellness Hacks for International Self-Care Day, How the Sandwich Generation Can Build Social Wellness.

In celebration of the National Day of the Cowboy, we're taking you to the “cowboy side of California” — the small town of Parkfield — where the Varian family has spent generations stewarding the land, building community, and sharing the values of ranch life. Located in the Cholame Valley, the V6 Ranch is more than a working cattle operation. It's a living legacy of conservation, hospitality, and heritage.In this episode, host and CEO, Michael Delbar, sits down with Jack, John, and Lauren Varian to share the story of their ranch. They discuss what it means to protect the land through a conservation easement with the California Rangeland Trust, and how they open their gates to the public through cattle drives, trail rides, and cowboy academies. Together, they talk about what it means to live with the land, to honor the past while preparing for the future, and to keep the spirit of the West alive.If you want to learn more about how you can get involved in the work that we do, visit rangelandtrust.orgWant to learn more?

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 132-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 22,968 on turnover of $5.5-billion N-T. Japan's defense ministry highlights Chinese military drills around Taiwan Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani highlighted Chinese drills around Taiwan yesterday in the defense white paper. His ministry emphasized China's intensification of the drills surrounding Taiwan since last year, and they accuse Beijing of trying to isolate the DPP government. The document points out that China has been actively increasing its military presence around Taiwan in recent years. The report noted Beijing's large-scale drills after President Lai Ching Te's inauguration in May of last year, as well as those around National Day on October 10th. Beijing aims to criticize the Lai administration and deter the US from deepening security ties with Taiwan, according to the report. The PRC further aims to divide Taiwanese society and isolate the Lai government by using a dual strategy of hardline (強硬的) military action in addition to pushing to strengthen economic ties with Taiwan. The report says that the exercises around Taiwan share three main characteristics, including combat training, propaganda orientation, and normalization. Notably, the report emphasizes that the exercises serve as a political messaging tool for the CCP, who broadcast footage of the drills widely. Nakatani says, Japan will reinforce its defense capabilities and respond calmly. (AH-CNA) EU Seeking Action from Israel on Aid to Gaza The European Union is seeking updates and more action from Israel on implementing a new deal to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The deal aims to provide food and fuel to Gaza's 2.3 million residents after more than 21 months of war. EU foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said Tuesday there was a need for effective implementation (執行) and called for a ceasefire. Ministers meeting in Brussels will also discuss Iran's nuclear program, tensions in Georgia and Moldova and new sanctions on Russia. Supreme Court paves way for Department of Education dismantling The US Supreme Court has paved the way for the dismantling of the Department of Education - saying the Trump administration can move ahead with mass layoffs. A lower court had blocked the move over concerns that gutting (摧毀內部) the agency would undermine its mission - which is dictated by Congress. Toni Waterman has more. France PM Proposes Cutting Two Public Holidays France's prime minister has proposed cutting two public holidays to save money in next year's budget. He suggested on Tuesday to remove Easter Monday and Victory Day which marks the Allied victory over the Nazis. The prime minister argued that this would boost tax revenues from increased economic activity. The proposal is part of a broader plan to save $51.3 billion US dollars and reduce France's debt and deficit. President Emmanuel Macron tasked the prime minister with balancing these cuts while increasing defense spending. The plan faces opposition from unions and political rivals (競爭對手). The government has no parliamentary majority and must secure support to pass the budget this fall. That leaves its fate uncertain. That was the I.C.R.T.

Realistically, there could only be one topic this week. Arguably, the most important event in all of Metaldom just went down in the form of the Back To The Beginning fest. The line up was a Who's Who in the genre. Most importantly, the world witnessed the final sets from Ozzy Osbourne and Black Sabbath. It was an all day PPV extravaganza that had us glued to the screen. So we do a deep dive into the whole event; set by set, highlight by highlight. What was your highlight? In our "News, Views and Tunes", we celebrate "Return of the Living Dead" Day and the National Day of Rock n Roll. Musically, we crank some Trouble, Lucifer's Friend, Nefarious, Pig Pen, serpent Rider and we introduce Australia's Thraxas in our "Indie Spotlight". Horns Up!!!

Episode Summary: On this episode, I talk with Janet McHenry, who shared her painful wound of walking with her husband through a very unjust situation that happened to him which caused her much shame. Yet, she also shares how God revealed himself to her, and answered her prayers in a way that she didn’t expect, producing a beautiful sacred scar. Quotables from the episode: My wound goes back to fall 2001, when we had a two-day blizzard in the Sierra valley when six calves and a bull bedded down in an old creek bed in the corner of my husband’s ranch, and were covered by snow. My husband was unaware this happened. A neighbor reported it not to my husband but to the local animal control authorities, and my husband was given seven animal cruelty charges, despite all the evidence in our favor. We unfortunately had an unjust judge who would not let records be placed into evidence, nor let experts testify on our behalf. The judge also harassed two of the defense witnesses. So much of the evidence that we had lined up for the trial was not allowed to be admitted. So he ended up being convicted on six animal cruelty charges with the possibility of getting three years in state prison. We felt a great deal of shame. How do you live in a community of your peers, with only 3000 in our entire county without a single stoplight. It’s an agricultural area where people raise hay and beef cattle. We experienced shame over this. We experienced fear because the judge could decide my husband would get those three years in prison, and how would we then live? The judge also could have pulled all the animals away from the ranch, removing my husband’s livelihood. My husband was pursuing his Ph.D. and was beginning to work on his doctoral dissertation, but my husband wouldn’t be able to teach with a felony conviction. So we experienced shame, fear, and a wounding because I had prayer walked around my community, I taught in a school district with only about 32 teachers so we all knew each other intimately, so I wasn’t able to avoid people through this process. I found it very difficult to finish out my school year as a teacher so I took a leave of absence and went on antidepressants because I couldn’t eat, I couldn’t sleep, my heart wouldn’t stop racing; I had never before experienced those physical reactions to stress. We worked really hard to get public support, and two months later was the sentencing. We filled the courtroom with friends and family and six pastors. The entire courtroom was a community of supporters for us. At the sentencing, the judge gave my husband four years of probation and a huge fine, so my husband had to sell off a large percentage of his herd to pay for that. We determined right away to file an appeal with the state appellate court. In the appeal, we documented over 240 instances where the judge had prejudiced the jurors. We waited another two years to get that decision. One by one we heard the appellate judges say that they were going to overturn the original decision. We determined to keep living here and keep serving our community the best that we could. One thing I learned on the day of the sentencing was that God was doing another great work in our lives that was unrelated. Standing in the parking lot after the decision was overturned a friend spoke up about what she saw in my husband and that God was really doing a new work in him and that he had a new countenance. It was then that I realized God was answering my prayers for my marriage which for 20-something years, I had been asking God to do a deeper work in our marriage, to save our marriage, to keep us together. God was working to answer a different prayer request than the ones that seemed more immediate. I don’t think I’d want to go through that situation again, but I did learn a lot about God’s loving presence through that. I re-read the book of Job every year when I read through the Bible, and I realized what I needed was a friend to quietly sit beside me. What Job needed was one good friend to sit with him through his suffering. Even though Job didn’t hear from God, God was that friend in Job’s wait. Even when it seems like God is silent, He is with us, He’s cheering us on. He cares about us. He loves us. Even if the situation doesn’t resolve in the way that we think is best, God will be even closer to us as a result of what we’ve been through. That presence of God, that closeness to him, is the best thing we can get out of this life on earth.

John Lynch, co-author of "Gospel Zero," talks about the difference between being called a saint instead of a sinner and the importance of Romans 6:14.

In this episode of The Covenant Eyes Podcast, Karen Potter sits down with Kerry Hasenbalg—respected speaker, spiritual director, and author of The Way of Becoming—to explore how soul care, storytelling, and biblical discipleship can bring deep emotional and spiritual healing.

Kathy Branzell, President of the National Day of Prayer says: there's the idea that when I work, I work, but when I pray, God works.  So how about YOU? Are you working, when you should be praying?  Are you starting work first, before you pray? Are you taking God's place for the results by over-working?  There's a beautiful balance we can obtain between work and prayer. We can choose to pray first, then work. And then pray, staying in constant contact with the Lord to guide and direct our work, vs. all that extra-efforting stuff. Psalm 127 says: It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to his loved ones.”  We challenge you today, to incorporate prayer INTO your work, and trust God for the results and experience a little of His rest. 

Please join us in prayer today.  We are focusing this day on the prayers and praises from listeners.  Carmen also talks with Kathy Branzell from the National Day of Prayer Taskforce as they pray for many of our common concerns.   Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

In this National Day of Prayer message, Pastor Allen Jackson reminds us that prayer is not just a request list, but a powerful response to God's presence, authority, and faithfulness.

He provides several proclamations and prayers to use on our own and with others on the National Day of Prayer and beyond. When we respond to God, He will begin to shape our lives—and that will impact the future of our families and our nation.   To support this ministry and help us continue to reach people all around the world, visit this link: allenjackson.com/podcastdonate

The face of the American military is undergoing a much need transformation. On In The Market with Janet Parshall this week we spoke to a woman who has been tracking the downward slide of the U.S. military on all fronts for several years. She joined us to share how the removal of DEI and creating a higher standard for so-called “tip of the spear” units is creating a healthy, more robust armed forces. Many of the people who toil in the Lord’s fields go unnoticed by the majority of us and are glad to do so. We had the privilege to hear the story of one such woman whose work in bible translation has transformed the work of missions around the world. Her diligent labor has opened doors for hundreds of people to hear the Word of God in their native tongue. We spent some quality time with our favorite missionary to the entertainment world as she shared how her ministry would be celebrating the National Day of Prayer and how high-quality bible-based films and television series are finding new and enthusiastic audiences. The discovery of the Dead Sea scrolls continues to impact our understanding of ancient times. We shared the amazing story of the “lost cave” and what was discovered in it and importance of these documents to our knowledge about biblical history. For many of us the most challenging relationship with have is not with the people we meet but the food that we eat. A highly respected family therapist and friend to this program joined us to put a biblical perspective to our relationship with food, dieting and whether or not we should use today’s most popular weight loss drugs. One of our favorite bible teachers rolled up his sleeves once again and tackled some of your most challenging questions about the bible and the Christian life. As we wind down another week, we turn our focus to the never-ending cycle of news in the marketplace of ideas and encourage you to join us as we dissect it under the disinfecting sunlight of God’s unchanging truth.Become a Parshall Partner: http://moodyradio.org/donateto/inthemarket/partnersSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
