There are a lot of things to consider when you prepare to relocate to a new area of the country or world.  This may be exponentially more difficult if you a Baby Boomer or Gen X.  The implications are considerable.  New Doctors, New Church, New Specialists.  Today, the siblings leverage a conversation Donna had with a national group of BNI real estate agents about the challenges, opportunities and considerations that are required to help a Young (or Old) Baby Boomer relocate to new town, new state, new time-zone, new, new new.  Everything that was comfortable and familiar is possibly long gone.  As real estate agents, our expertise goes well beyond the showings and transactional components of relocating.  In many cases your real estate expert is your first, best (perhaps only) contact for navigating and connecting to your new city and neighborhood.  Take advantage of our expertise and knowlegde.  We can get you connected.  If you don't take full advantage of us, then you are missing something good (likely great)! Donna Reed and Eric Seemann are both professional real estate agents. Donna lives and works in Tucson Arizona with Keller Williams Southern Arizona while Eric lives and works in San Antonio Texas with Keller Williams Heritage. They are also siblings, and they grew up in a small Northwest Ohio village of Lindsey. Their idyllic small-town childhood laid the foundation for what would become the structure of their lives and careers in real estate. We hope you will join us as we reminisce, reflect, and correlate how our childhood and life in rural Ohio still impacts our dealings with our clients today.

This week, we share a For the Journey exclusive conversation between Bill Haley and Terry Walling, a long-time church leader and author of the recent book, Unlikely Nomads: In Search of the New Church. Terry has observed many committed Christians choosing to step away from familiar forms of church and community out of love for Jesus. Bill and Terry discuss why this trend has only increased since Terry's book came out, and what God might be up to as new forms of Christian community emerge.Explore new forms of Christian Community offered through Coracleinthecoracle.org  |  @inthecoracleSupport the show

Marriage is an important part of love for many people. And yet the Word has very little to say about it directly! Part of the reason is that people have so many warped ideas of what marriage is or ought to be. When the Word was written, a true explanation would have been rejected. But in the Teachings of the New Church we find that clearer explanation, and at heart, marriage is about friendship. Through cultivating a genuine friendship, a married couple can establish trust, mutual support, and true marriage love.

Salvation is at the heart and soul of Christ's message. But what actually is it? Salvation is meaningless if we do not understand what we are being saved from and how we can achieve that salvation. The New Church teaches that all of us have an inclination towards evil that would destroy us if we weren't protected by the Lord; and that to be truly and fully saved, we need to look to the Lord, reject evil, and live a good life, based on His teachings.

Baxie talks with the legendary Brian James. Brian talks about co-founding The Damned—the first British punk band to release a single with "New Rose" (October of 1976). The Damned were also the British Punk band to release an album with "Damned Damned Damned "(February of 1977). They were also the first British Punk band to tour the United States (April of 1977). Brian talks about forming the band and why he left. He also talks about playing with Iggy Pop and about his years with the late Stiv Bators (The Dead Boys) in forming the Lords of the New Church, and the band he formed with Wayne Kramer of the MC5, Stewart Copeland from The Police, Duff McKagan from Guns & Roses, and Clem Burke from Blondie called the Racketeers!

A Catholic bishop, with a social media following second only to the Pope, is proving that dumbing down the faith is the wrong way to reach young adults. But is his celebrity status getting in the way? A new study finds the most generous people are also the most likely to consistently read the Bible. Kaitlyn talks to Pricelis Perreaux-Dominguez about telling the truth to the church out of love. Her new book, “Being a Sanctuary,” is honest about the harms many churches are causing, but also shows how the church is the key to healing.

Tonight, for our monthly Snoozecast Deluxe bonus episode, we'll read a Snoozecast original story featuring the day in the life of the famous American folkhero Johnny Appleseed. Born Johnathan Chapman, Johnny was an American pioneer nurseryman who introduced trees grown with apple seeds (rather than through grafting) to large parts of many states including Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Ontario and West Virginia. He became an American legend while still alive, due to his kind, generous ways, his leadership in conservation, and the symbolic importance that he attributed to apples. He was also a missionary for The New Church and the inspiration for many museums and historical sites. The popular image is of Johnny Appleseed spreading apple seeds randomly everywhere he went. In fact, he planted nurseries rather than orchards, built fences around them to protect them from livestock and wildlife, left the nurseries in the care of a neighbor who sold trees on shares, and returned every year or two to tend the nursery.  It is said that toward the end of his career he encountered a travelling missionary preaching to an open-air congregation. The sermon was long and severe on the topic of extravagance, because the pioneers were buying such indulgences as calico and imported tea. The preacher repeatedly asked "Where now is there a man who, like the primitive Christians, is traveling to heaven barefooted and clad in coarse raiment?" Finally, Johnny Appleseed walked up to him, put his bare foot on the stump that had served as a pulpit, and said, "Here's your primitive Christian!" Thank you to our premium subscribers, and we hope that our Deluxe listeners enjoy tonight's sleep story.

Thursday of the Thirty-third Week in Ordinary Time IINovember 21, 2024 – Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary Hello and welcome to the Word, bringing you the Good News of Jesus Christ every day from the Redemptorists of the Baltimore Province. I am Fr. Karl Esker from the Basilica of our Lady of Perpetual Help in Brooklyn, NY. Today is the Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary.A reading from the holy gospel according to Luke     As Jesus drew near Jerusalem, he saw the city and wept over it, saying, “If this day you only knew what makes for peace– but now it is hidden from your eyes. For the days are coming upon you when your enemies will raise a palisade against you; they will encircle you and hem you in on all sides. They will smash you to the ground and your children within you, and they will not leave one stone upon another within you because you did not recognize the time of your visitation.”The gospel of the Lord.Homily I have often wondered about the Memorial of the Presentation of the Blessed Virgin Mary in the Temple, because there is no hint of it in the gospels. The story comes from the Protoevangelium of James, a second century collection of pious stories that tries to fill in the blanks in the gospel accounts about the lives of Jesus and Mary. This document also gives us the names of Joachim and Anna, the parents of Mary. Since the liturgical feasts of Mary parallel the feasts of Jesus, I wondered if the date of this memorial had anything to do with the purification of Anna, eighty days after the birth of Mary; but no, there are only 74 days between the memorial of the birth of Mary and the memorial of her presentation in the Temple. The date celebrates the inauguration of the New Church of the Mother of God, built by the Byzantine emperor Justinian I in the year 543 near the ruins of the Jerusalem Temple. Mary's presentation is actually a parallel to the prophet Samuel's presentation. Just as Samuel's mother Hanna, in thanksgiving for being cured of her bareness, presented him to God in the sanctuary of Shiloh, when he was three years old, so too, Mary's parents Joachim and Anna consecrate her to God at three years old in the Temple in Jerusalem. What we celebrate is not so much a historical fact, as the spirit with which Mary dedicated herself to God from her very childhood under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit who filled her with grace to become the temple where the Son of God would take on human flesh. Just as Mary's cooperation with God's plan for our salvation began early in her childhood, and carried on throughout Jesus' life and ministry, passion, death and resurrection, and into the early years of the Church, so too it did not end with her life on earth. As Jesus wept over Jerusalem because its inhabitants did not recognize the time of their visitation, Mary with her son in heaven weeps over the many people who in the midst of violence, war and misfortune, continue blind to the saving presence of Jesus Christ, the Lamb of God. That may explain why Mary has appeared throughout the centuries in many countries across the world to call people back to prayer and faith in Jesus so that he may gather them together into God's kingdom, as a hen gathers her chicks under her wings. In today's gospel we hear Jesus' lament over the destruction that would overwhelm Jerusalem, because they rejected their true savior to follow a human, political one. The first reading from the book of Revelation proclaims Christ, the all-powerful and all knowledgeable Lamb of God who will protect his people in the terrible times of persecution and natural disasters they were facing. As the sacred writers encouraged their communities and us to remain faithful to Jesus in every circumstance, so too Mary by her example and intercession directs our eyes, mind and heart to Jesus, and calls us to cling to him, Son of God and Savior of the World. May God bless you.   Fr. Karl E. Esker CSsR Basilica of our Lady of Perpetual Help Brooklyn, NY
