Once upon a time, I lived in the Arctic. In the Northernmost human settlement on Earth that has more polar bears than humans. In the dark polar night, I had one of the hardest and also the most extraordinary experiences of my entire life. Only later did I realise that my life in the Arctic was my major Rite of Passage that shaped the woman I am today. Years ago, I was so eager to launch my coaching business – I had a huge vision and a thousand euros to my name. I knew that I could not lead people through transformation from a place of needing money in order to survive. So, destiny led me to taking on a job in a place called Svalbard. I arrived there one month before the Polar Night began. I worked at a bar by night. I lived a magical ritual-filled priestess life by day. When the Polar Night began, the moon would never set – it was already travelling around the skyline. Days blended into darkness; the landscape felt both desolate and breathtaking. I grappled with deep loneliness, seeking connection online while surrounded by an icy, barren world. In this episode, I share my naked heart about all that happened in this surreal phase of my life. From collapsing on the kitchen floor, freefalling into my deepest fears, to finding the most profound love for myself and God I didn't know existed. This experience completely transformed me. I returned feeling whole. I left the Arctic feeling… invincible; knowing that if I could hold myself living literally at the end of the world, I could do anything. In the wake of this transformative journey, life picked up pace. I moved to Thailand, entered a beautiful long-term relationship, went straight to 6 figures in my first year in business, and broke cycles that no longer served me. It's a tale that will feature prominently in my book, and I hope the wisdom I gleaned resonates with you. Thanks for staying through this journey with me. If you want to share your thoughts, feel free to DM me on Instagram. I appreciate you being here and can't wait for our next episode together. HIGHLIGHTS How living and working in the Arctic was a pivotal experience that shaped personal and professional growth. Balancing passion and financial limitations while striving to launch a coaching business, highlighting the challenges and sacrifices made. Discovering inner strength through spiritual practices amidst a barren landscape of stark isolation and challenges faced in Svalbard A profound moment of reckoning which was a catalyst for self-discovery, acceptance, and a radical shift in perspective. How the Arctic experience sparked personal transformation, leading to newfound self-love, a return to wholeness, and subsequent success in both business and personal life.

Title: “Stephen's Last Sermon: Explanation” Part 1 Text: Acts 7:1-34 FCF: We often struggle admitting the true depth of our need for God to pursue us. Prop: Because man is blind to God, God must call His people, so we must respond when we hear Him call. Scripture Intro: [Slide 1] Turn in your bible to Acts chapter 7. In a moment I'll begin reading a rather large portion of scripture beginning in verse 1 and continuing to verse 53. I'll be reading from the Legacy Standard Bible, but you can follow along in the pew bible starting on page 1236 or in whatever version you prefer. Last week, we saw a man, filled with grace and power from God, doing many signs and wonders in His name. He preached to those whom he knew well. And they did not receive him. Now, this man, Stephen, stands before the highest court in Jerusalem to answer for the crime of blasphemy against Moses and God. Today will be part 1 of Stephen's response to his accusers. He will answer… but it will not be a defense. Please stand with me out of respect for and to focus on the reading of the Word of God. Transition: You may be seated. We have much to get through today. Let us hasten to the text so we can see it all before time slips through our fingers. I.) God alone secures a people for Himself, so we must respond when we hear Him call. (1-8) a. [Slide 2] 1 – And the high priest said, “Are these things so?” i. Beginning with the High Priest's question is a perfect opportunity for us to review exactly what Stephen was being charged with. ii. What are the “things” that may or not be true? iii. Remember that these Hellenistic Jews, desiring to be accepted by the Hebraic Jews, came out against Stephen. However, they were not able to oppose his teachings. So, they resorted to secretly persuading people to accuse Stephen of blaspheming Moses and God. iv. In the trial false witnesses testified that they had heard Stephen frequently blaspheming the holy place or the temple and the law of Moses. v. Specifically, they heard him say that Jesus of Nazareth would destroy the temple and alter the customs handed down from Moess. vi. To us, such statements do not seem blasphemous… but to the Jews during this second temple era, to suggest that someone would destroy the temple and it be a good thing or to alter the customs of Moses and it be a good thing… would have been just that… blasphemous. vii. They held three primary pillars to their faith. The law, The land or Kingdom, and the Temple. Stephen, then, is accused of speaking against two of the three pillars of 1st century Judaism. viii. He is called upon to answer whether or not he has spoken in such a way. ix. Stephen's response both deals with each charge against him, but also doesn't at the same time. x. HIs response addresses the law of Moses, but not in the sense of whether or not he has said that Jesus will alter the customs. Stephen's response addresses the temple, but not in the sense of whether or not he has said that Jesus will destroy it. xi. Stephen essentially uses these charges as a springboard to go back through the history of Israel. xii. In so doing he quotes or alludes to several passages of scripture. Because we do not have the time, nor do we know how much Stephen is quoting, alluding, or paraphrasing, we will pass over these references. You can do the work on your own this week in looking up these passages to which Stephen refers. xiii. There are also several chronological and topological details that seem to contradict what is recorded in the Old Testament. We will not be able to explore these in any detail at all. But suffice it to say, that the easiest way to understand why these contradictions occur is primarily Stephen's telescopic view of Israel's history. He is not going for exact precision. Rather he is picking up key threads along the way. xiv. What are these threads or layers of teaching. 1. First, he reveals a cycle of the people's accepting God's provision while rejecting Him. a. He shows that by Israel rejecting God's chosen deliverers, they are actually rejecting God Himself. b. He shows that these deliverers are prototypes of Jesus of Nazareth whom they are rejecting actively at this very moment. c. He shows that they have kept holy, things that were given by God, while rejecting God Himself because they have rejected His Son, His Messiah, His Ultimate Deliverer. 2. Second, he reveals God's promises and covenants forming a redemptive plan of God that is progressing and therefore, by necessity, changing. 3. Third, he reveals God's presence, provision, glory and worship separate from the law, away from the land of Canaan, and outside the temple. 4. In short, the scope of Stephen's response has nothing to do with his own defense, since he seems to have no intention of ever making it out of this trial alive. Instead, his entire purpose of this sermon is as a prosecutor dismantling the present form of Judaism to reveal a form of godliness that has denied its power. A Judaism that needs reformation. A Judaism that needs a Deliverer – The Son of Man who stands at the right hand of God, Jesus of Nazareth. Stephen is on the attack, not on the defense. xv. I will not endeavor this morning, or in the weeks to follow, to unpack every minute detail in this sermon. To do so, I fear we would be here for many, many weeks. xvi. My aim is to give you the main points of his sermon so the sharpness at the end hits as cleanly as it did the day in which Stephen spoke it. xvii. That said, I still anticipate it taking us a few weeks to get through. xviii. So, without further ado, Stephen's last sermon. b. [Slide 3] 2-3 – And he said, “Hear me, brothers and fathers! The God of glory appeared to our father Abraham when he was in Mesopotamia, before he lived in Haran, 3 and said to him, ‘LEAVE YOUR COUNTRY AND YOUR RELATIVES, AND COME INTO THE LAND THAT I WILL SHOW YOU.' i. Stephen begins at the beginning. He begins with a man called out from the land of Ur. ii. Yes, before Abraham lived in Haran, which is at the Northernmost boundary of the promised land, Abraham lived in Ur. The land that would later be called Babylon. Abraham was from that most depraved land. A land symbolic of the seat of the forces of darkness. iii. Why would Stephen include this detail? iv. Because, even the nation of Israel was not a nation once. Even the nation of Israel would need to be called out of the nations to be made a nation. As a Hellenistic Jewish Christian, such a truth would be quite comforting and equally uncomfortable for the Hebraic Jews. v. Stephen calls God the God of glory. This title is significant in that it is uncommon. Why would he use such a title? 1. First, Stephen is being accused of blasphemy. Such an accusation is immediately answered with a declaration of God being the God of glory. 2. Second, he shows that divorced from the land of Canaan and from the temple, and without a law, God is still the God of glory appearing to Abraham. His glory cannot be contained by national boundaries, God given laws, or walls made with hands. This creates an excellent bookend to his explanation section. We'll get there next week. 3. Where God is – is where we worship Him. God decides where and how He reveals Himself. vi. God called him out of this land, to depart from his family, to go a land that He would show him. c. [Slide 4] 4-5 – Then he left the land of the Chaldeans and settled in Haran. From there, after his father died, God had him move to this country in which you are now living. 5 But He gave him no inheritance in it, not even a foot of ground, and He promised that HE WOULD GIVE IT TO HIM AS A POSSESSION, AND TO HIS SEED AFTER HIM, even when he had no child. i. The story of Abraham is recorded in the book of Genisis over only a few chapters. ii. Stephen only hints at a remarkable truth that we often miss. It was over 40 years after God made these promises to Abraham, that Abraham actually had an heir. iii. In that process, although Abraham nomadically lived in the land that God had promised him, he did not actually own any property. iv. Stephen attempts throughout the sermon to establish ethos with his listeners. He began by calling them brothers and fathers. He uses almost exclusively the first-person plural pronouns to discuss the history of Israel. In this he establishes comradery with his audience. He is one of them. Therefore, it is probably significant any time Stephen deviates from this practice. And before he enters his final appeal to them in verse 51 he only deviates from the 1st person plural pronouns twice. v. We'll see one today and one next week. vi. The first one happens here in verse 4. Stephen said that God had Abraham move to this country in which YOU are now living. 1. It is possible that Stephen does not identify himself as a dweller or inhibiter of this land since he is a Hellenized Jew. 2. Perhaps this is even for his audience's benefit. Perhaps they would take issue with him claiming to be an inhibiter of this land while not being able to speak Aramaic or Hebrew. 3. But more likely, Stephen by excluding himself is actually excluding them. By saying that they inhabit or dwell in the land, he suggests that they do so without legal right. Since the land is one of the pillars of their faith, it would be a subtle way to hint at what his entire sermon shows. That though they have the land, they are interlopers and have no right to it. Why? Because they have rejected this land's King. What do you call someone who possesses the King's land but does not bow to the King? Invaders, pretenders, traitors, insurrectionists, or… in the case of faith… blasphemers. 4. The tables are officially turned. vii. But let's proceed. He has much more to say. d. [Slide 5] 6-7 – But God spoke in this way, that his ‘SEED WOULD BE SOJOURNERS IN A FOREIGN LAND, AND THAT THEY WOULD BE ENSLAVED AND MISTREATED FOR FOUR HUNDRED YEARS. 7 AND I MYSELF WILL JUDGE THE NATION TO WHICH THEY WILL BE ENSLAVED' said God, ‘AND AFTER THAT THEY WILL COME OUT AND SERVE ME IN THIS PLACE.' i. As a part of God's plan to bring Abraham's seed to this land and give it to them, they would first be enslaved in a foreign nation. ii. This slavery would take 400 years to complete. iii. God promises to judge the nation who does this to them and to bring them out to serve Him in the land that He will give to Abraham. iv. Again, God promises this is all before Abraham has an heir and before he owns any land in Canaan. e. [Slide 6] 8 – And He gave him the covenant of circumcision; and so, Abraham was the father of Isaac, and circumcised him on the eighth day; and Isaac was the father of Jacob, and Jacob of the twelve patriarchs. i. So even though Abraham did not have any land that God had promised him, even though his descendants would be enslaved to a foreign nation for 400 years, even though there was no temple and no law, God still gave to him a covenant. ii. A covenant that was concerning far more than land, law, temples and nations. A covenant of abiding favor and relationship. A covenant remembered through a sign. A covenant that in Abraham all the nations of the earth will be blessed. iii. Does God need a temple, land or a law to establish a relationship with His people? The answer, of course, is no. iv. Nevertheless, the law and the temple came about. What does that mean? v. It means that God's redemptive plan progressed and therefore, by necessity, changed. Not in substance but in form. God's relationship with His people still depended on a one-sided covenant. But the form of that relationship would not always be the same. vi. For Abraham, it was the sign of circumcision and the hope of a nation brought through slavery to a land promised to him many years before. It required nothing from Abraham. He simply trusted that the Lord would do all of this in His timing and by His power. f. [Slide 7] Summary of the Point: God is the one pursuing His people my friends. He comes for them. There is no land, no nation, no religious temple tying Him down. He will come and take for Himself a nation from the nations. He will call unto Himself a people. He will not forget them! He will not abandon them! Nor will He fail to keep His promises to them. Their relationship may not always take the same form – but it will always have the same substance. And what is that substance? That God alone will do everything necessary to secure a bride for His Son. He will do all that is required to preserve a remnant. He will call and save and purify and keep and glorify His people. And He doesn't need anybody or anything to help Him. He has done this through His own will, power, mercy, and grace. And He has done this through His Son, the Righteous One. Transition: [Slide 8(blank)] With such assurances that God will do as He has promised to do and secure for Himself a people, we might expect the people of Israel to have always believed and trusted God to do as He said He would. Of course, you and I both know that this wasn't the case. Stephen goes here next. II.) Men are unable to discern God's provision, so we must respond when we hear Him call. (9-36) a. [Slide 9] 9-10 – And the patriarchs, becoming jealous of Joseph, sold him into Egypt. Yet God was with him, 10 and rescued him from all his afflictions, and granted him favor and wisdom in the sight of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, and he appointed him governor over Egypt and all his household. i. But in the process of God's promises coming to fruition, we see even the patriarchs act in opposition to it. ii. They reject and sell into slavery one of the Lord's promised descendants of Abraham. How appalling. How counter to God's promise and plan! How demonic! iii. And why do they do this? It was out of jealousy. How interesting that Luke just recently commented on the motivations of the Sanhedrin council to act against the apostles. Do you remember what their motivation was? Was it not jealousy? And what was the endgame of the jealousy of the patriarchs? Was it not to return to a time before Joseph's existence? Was it not to be rid of him and go back to when there were only the brothers of Leah and none of Rachel? Was not the jealousy of the Sanhedrin to preserve the former form of Judaism, prior to the advent of their Messiah? iv. An interesting correlation is being made here. Although Abraham left all he knew to follow the Lord and do as He commanded – his descendants consistently resisted God's leading and desired to go back to what they had always known. v. So, they sell him and send him to Egypt. He is, in their minds, dead. vi. Yet, God was with him. vii. These five words overcome the world my friends. viii. No matter what opposes the Lord's anointed – these five words will undo it all. ix. God being with Joseph, though he was separated from the rest of the covenant people, though he was sent to a foreign land, though he was surrounded by pagans – God was with HIM. x. And because God was with HIM, out of the land of Cannan, under foreign power, he still prospered. He was saved from his afflictions, granted favor in the sight of Pharoah and given a position of prominence and leadership. b. [Slide 10] 11-16 – Now a famine came over all Egypt and Canaan, and great affliction with it, and our fathers could find no food. 12 But when Jacob heard that there was grain in Egypt, he sent our fathers there the first time. 13 And on the second visit Joseph made himself known to his brothers, and Joseph's family was disclosed to Pharaoh. 14 Then Joseph sent word and invited Jacob his father and all his relatives to come to him, seventy-five persons in all. 15 And Jacob went down to Egypt and there he and our fathers died. 16 And from there they were removed to Shechem and placed in the tomb which Abraham had purchased for a sum of money from the sons of Hamor in Shechem. i. And so, the promise of God takes another step toward fulfillment. ii. The people of God go to a foreign land to sojourn there in the midst of great need. iii. God uses the sinful jealousy of the patriarchs to ensure the success and stability of His people. iv. Notice the details that Stephen includes. He has in this section mushed together the stories of Jacob and his son's burial plots, which are not the same place. Almost breezing over this detail. v. But in the same space, he has made sure to include the detail that at the first visit to Joseph, his brothers did not recognize him. On the second visit he was made known to them, raised from the dead as it were. And he invited his family to join them. vi. Jesus was not recognized at first, He was revealed to His disciples through his resurrection from the dead, and now has sent for His people to come to Him. vii. And notice that though all the patriarchs died in the land of Egypt, their remains, their bones, were brought back to the only place Abraham owned in the land of Canaan. viii. Even death cannot separate the promises of God from those to whom He has promised them. ix. They died without a temple. They died without a law. They died outside of the land of Canaan. Yet God's faithfulness remained. c. [Slide 11] 17-18 – But as the time of the promise was drawing near which God had assured to Abraham, the people increased and multiplied in Egypt, 18 until ANOTHER KING AROSE OVER EGYPT WHO DID NOT KNOW ABOUT JOSEPH. i. Notice that God while suffering His people to be enslaved in a foreign land for a period of 400 years, he also grew them, multiplying them upon themselves. ii. They lived in Egypt until a time when another King, another Pharoah did not know… or appreciate Joseph or his people. d. [Slide 12] 19-22 – It was he who deceitfully took advantage of our family and mistreated our fathers to set their infants outside so that they would not survive. 20 It was at this time that Moses was born, and he was lovely in the sight of God, and he was nurtured three months in his father's home. 21 And after he had been set outside, Pharoah's daughter took him away and nurtured him as her own son. 22 And Moses was educated in all the wisdom of the Egyptians, and he was powerful in words and deeds. i. This King acting maliciously, though not outside the promise of God, did attempt to subdue the superior numbers of the Hebrews. ii. So, he ordered the exposure unto death of all sons born to Hebrew women. iii. During this dark time, Moses was born. iv. And he was lovely in the sight of God. v. The word used here is beauty in breeding. We have an expression “He is from good stock” meaning his heritage or lineage was good. vi. And so for him to be of good stock in the eyes of God, is to see that he is chosen of God. He is graced or favored of God. vii. Again, we must pause to marvel at the favor of God. “Yet God was with him” were the words about Joseph. Similar words are spoken here of Moses. “he was lovely in the sight of God” viii. Because of the favor given to him by God, he was nurtured three months and left exposed, only to be drawn out of the water by the Pharoah's daughter and raised as an Egyptian prince. ix. Another rags to riches story, where God brought something that was nothing to be a deliverer of His people. x. He was educated in the wisdom of his day and powerful in word and deed. Much like another young man raised in a place that was not his home, by a family comprised of his enemies. e. [Slide 13] 23-25 – But when he was approaching the age of forty, it entered into his heart to visit his brothers, the sons of Israel. 24 And when he saw one of them being treated unjustly, he defended him and took justice for the oppressed by striking down the Egyptian. 25 And he supposed that his brothers understood that God was granting them salvation through him, but they did not understand. i. At the age of 40, it entered into his heart – a humble way of saying that the Lord led him– that he go and visit his people. ii. How did Egypt treat his countrymen? How did they fare? iii. Not well. They were indeed oppressed. They were indeed unjustly treated. iv. He, as a righteous judge, as a ruler, he bears the sword in justice to punish the guilty and exonerate the innocent. v. Perhaps his people would see this and know that he was God's means to deliver them. vi. This little comment about Moses' suppositions is not found anywhere in the Old Testament. What is clear is that this is Stephen's editorial comment. He is drawing a parallel. vii. Moses thought that his brothers would see his justice as proof that he was God's chosen man to deliver them from their oppression. He assumed they would understand viii. But no… they did not understand. Just as Joseph's brothers did not recognize him, so the people did not follow Moses. ix. The comparison to Christ and the resistance of the Jewish leaders to follow Him… is quite obvious. f. [Slide 14] 26-29 – On the following day he appeared to them as they were fighting together, and he tried to reconcile them in peace, saying, ‘Men, you are brothers, why are you treating one another unjustly?' 27 But the one who was treating his neighbor unjustly pushed him away, saying, ‘WHO MADE YOU A RULER AND JUDGE OVER US? 28 DO YOU INTEND TO KILL ME AS YOU KILLED THE EGYPTIAN YESTERDAY?' 29 At this remark, MOSES FLED AND BECAME A SOJOURNER IN THE LAND OF MIDIAN, where he was the father of two sons. i. They were unconcerned about justice. ii. They had not clung to the promise of God. iii. They squabbled among each other. They did unjustly to one another. iv. And when God's anointed came to encourage them to live uprightly, they scoff at his seemingly self-appointed title of ruler and judge. v. They question his justice and wonder if the power had gone to his head. Will he dole out justice on them also? vi. And like Joseph, Moses too is cast aside. He is rejected. vii. This theme of Hebrews fighting one another to the extent that they do not recognize their ruler and deliverer… again the comparison is too obvious to miss. They have done it all again and to a much larger degree with Jesus of Nazareth. Their own Messiah. g. [Slide 15] 30-34 – And after forty years had passed, AN ANGEL APPEARED TO HIM IN THE WILDERNESS OF MOUNT SINAI, IN THE FLAME OF A BURNING BUSH. 31 When Moses saw it, he was marveling at the sight; and as he approached to look more closely, there came the voice of the Lord: 32 ‘I AM THE GOD OF YOUR FATHERS, THE GOD OF ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB.' Moses trembled with fear and would not dare to look. 33 BUT THE LORD SAID TO HIM, ‘REMOVE THE SANDALS FROM YOUR FEET, FOR THE PLACE ON WHICH YOU ARE STANDING IS HOLY GROUND. 34 I HAVE SURELY SEEN THE OPPRESSION OF MY PEOPLE IN EGYPT AND HAVE HEARD THEIR GROANS, AND I HAVE COME DOWN TO DELIVER THEM; COME NOW, AND I WILL SEND YOU TO EGYPT. i. The number 40 returns. ii. 40 years Abraham waited from promise to Isaac's birth. 40 years he waited for the smallest provision of a promise God made and even still no land was his. iii. Now with Moses, 40 years had passed between when he was in his youth, in his prime, a man of powerful word and deed, able to save his people, a man whom God considered lovely in His sight… iv. 40 years he waited in exile… before the Lord spoke to him… for the first time. v. He is approached by an angel. An angel who is God. God who speaks from a bush that although burning is never consumed. vi. He tells Moses to take off his shoes for he is on holy ground. vii. Notice that Holy ground is where God is, not where God must dwell. Wherever God is, is Holy Ground. It is not holy therefore He appears there, but it is holy by nature of Him being there. viii. God tells Moses that it is time for him to go to Egypt and deliver His people. ix. Moses, who is no longer powerful in word and deed – Moses, who is just as much Midian as he is Egyptian, Moses, who was rejected by his own people as a ruler and judge - God has chosen to go and deliver them from the oppression of the Egyptians. h. [Slide 16] Summary of the Point: As an unfortunate corollary to the previous point, although God acts alone, without law, land, or temple, to secure, save, keep, and glorify His people – men are blind and ignorant to His power and provision to save them. Joseph's brothers not only despised and rejected him, but they did not know him until he revealed himself to them. Moses was rejected by his people though chosen of God to deliver them from their oppression. Without land, without law, and without temple, His people were completely separated from Him and unable to clearly see His chosen savior. The rich man begged Abraham to send Lazarus to his five brothers to warn them about the torment of hades. But Abraham said that even if someone would rise from the dead to tell them, they would not believe. My friends, God has given men the greatest provision of all. His Son, crushed for the sins of His people and raised the third day. Nevertheless, unless He reveals Himself, none will believe. God alone will pursue His people, and it must be this way, for man's heart is incurably wicked. No man seeks after God. And would a risen Christ stand before them, would eye-witnesses of the risen Christ stand before them – they will not believe. Woe to men who cannot see what is so plain before them. They do not need a law, a land, or a temple… They need the Lord of glory to open their eyes. Conclusion: Even though this is only half of Stephen's sermon, what doctrinal takeaway can we draw from what he's said so far? What have we learned and how then shall we live? Doctrinal Takeaway: [Slide 17] With or without temple, law or land, mankind is desperately blinded to God and His purposes. As God intervenes, as He intercedes, as He sends deliverer after deliverer, and even the ultimate deliverer, His Son, man still is blind, ignorant, deaf and dumb. We are described as dead in sins. We are described as untilled soil. We are described as children of wrath and of our Father the devil. Stephen's audience needed to understand exactly this about themselves. That though they had the law, the temple, and the land – they were nothing more than interlopers. They were pretenders. They were blind men claiming they had sight. Dead men dressed in glorious robes perfumed with delightful scents. They were lost pretending as though they knew the way home. It was not their law, or their land, or their temple that was special. No. It was their God. The Glorious One. Who from ages to ages is the same. He is the great pursuer of His people. He promises and keeps His promises. He pursues each of His dear children. And His Son, the righteous One, Jesus of Nazareth is the final step in His pursuit of His people. His Son said “I will lose not one of the sheep that my Father has given me and my sheep hear my voice.” As deflating as it is to hear that men are so far from God – how delightful it is to know that God pursues us. So, if God has revealed Himself to you today – you must place your trust in Him. For He pursues His own my friends and His own hear His voice. Since Stephen's sermon is not complete as of yet, let us refrain from attempting to improve upon this point until next week. Let us just carry with us this week this truth: that in spite of our blindness to the truth, God pursues and reveals Himself to His people. He shows light to those who live in darkness. And while we were sinners He died for us. If you hear His voice, you are His sheep. Follow your shepherd. [Slide 18 (end)] Let me close with a prayer from the church father Methodius of Olympia Through him who sits on your throne, and who cannot be separated from your divine nature, you have given us the gift of reconciliation. You have granted us access to you, with confidence. True and all-powerful God, you recognize no other authority. And you have given these justifying gifts of grace as certain and unquestionable rights to those who have received mercy. This is what Isaiah meant when he said that "the Angel of his Presence saved them. In his love and compassion he redeemed them; he lifted them up and carried them all the days of old" (Isaiah 63:9). But all this was not due to any righteous works on our part, or because we loved you. Our forefather Adam turned away from your commands, was judged unworthy of that life-giving place, and from then on the offspring of sin has been so weak. But you, Lord, by yourself and because of the indescribable love you had toward your creation, you have confirmed your mercy to us. You felt sorry for this separation from you. You were moved by the sight of our degradation, and you took us into compassion. Now a joyous festival is established for us, Adam's race, because the first creator of Adam has freely become the second Adam. And the brightness of our Lord God has come down to live with us, and we are saved. We have seen your salvation, Lord. Let us be delivered from the bent yoke of the law. We have seen the eternal King, who has no successors. Let us be free from this burdensome chain of slavery. We have seen him who is by nature our Lord and deliverer, so let us receive his deliverance decree. Set us free from the yoke of condemnation, and place us under the yoke of justification. Deliver us from the yoke of the curse, from the law that kills, and enroll us in the blessed company of those who, by the grace of your dear Son, who is of equal glory and power with you, have been received into adoption as your children. In Jesus name we pray… Amen! [Benediction] Jude 24-25 “Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to make you stand in the presence of His glory blameless with great joy, to the only God our Savior, through Jesus Christ our Lord, be glory, majesty, might, and authority, before all time and now and forevermore. Amen.” Until we meet again; go in peace.

When Patty Mercier jumped in Loren Upton's 1966 Jeep CJ5, she knew she was in for an adventure. The man behind the wheel was on his fourth attempt to cross the Darién Gap. The first three trips had ended in death and disaster, but Upton, an intrepid adventurer, would not be deterred. In addition to his determination to cross the treacherous Darién Gap entirely on land, Upton had raised the stakes on this voyage. For his fourth attempt, he decried that he would drive one American-made vehicle around the world. The route would be from North America's Northernmost point to South America's southernmost point. The only water crossing would be the South Atlantic. They would continue from the Southernmost point in Africa to the Northernmost point in Norway. The trip started in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, on 15 June 1984. They traveled more than 56,000 miles and took five years to complete the drive around the world. The crossing of the 125-mile Darién Gap was an astonishing 741 days. The Sand Ship Discovery, the name that Upton gave his intrepid Jeep, reached the Sletness Lighthouse near Gamvik, Norway, On 4 July 1989. The couple earned a citation in the 1992 Guinness Book of Records for the “First All-Land Crossing Of The Infamous Darien Gap From Yauiza Republic of Panama to Riosucio, Columbia 22 February 1985 to 4 March 1987.” Loren Lee Upton died at 87 years old on 9 August 2022 Patty Upton is searching for a museum to house Sand Ship Discovery, the 1966 CJ5, and for a writer to capture the story of their around-the-world drive.

For many enthusiasts, a long journey in an RV is ‘the destination.' So when you travel as far north as the Northwest Territories, ‘the destination' practically never ends given the number of scenic highways and natural attractions to experience. When visiting the country's largest territory, it's best - and wise - to have a detailed travel plan and a good starting point is the Great Slave Route and the lake of the same name.What makes the route appealing for RVers is it has a few unique communities to visit all along the southern portion of Great Slave Lake with destinations and rugged nature to discover along the way. The lake is also enticing. It spans 28,568 sq km (11,030 sq mi), ranking it the fourth largest lake in Canada and the 11th largest in the world. It even takes the top spot for being the deepest in North America, with a depth in areas of approximately 615 m (2,017 ft).

Much has changed since our original 2017 episode (199) on Cava and Spanish sparkling wine. It's time for a refresh and an update! Photo: Cava cork. Credit: cava.wine In this episode we fill you in on the roller coaster the DO has been on since 2017 and where it stands today. The story shows how Spain has moved from just being ON the radar of international wine buyers to moving to a level of sophistication that demands its regions have the kind of terroir focus of the other great wine nations of the Old World – France, Italy, Germany, and Austria, to name a few. We review the regulations, changes, and the strife in the region and discuss what to seek out to get the best of these highly accessible, delicious, and decidedly Spanish wines. Here are the show notes... The Basics We start with the statistics on Cava -- it encompasses 38,133 ha/94,229 acres and made 253 MM bottles in 2021 91% of Cava is white, 9% is rosado (rosé) Various zones produce the wine, but Penedés is the heart of Cava production, with more than 95% of total output We discuss the early history of the area, beginning with the first sparkling production in 1872 with Josep Raventós to the point where the DO is formed in 1991 – we leave the modern history until later, as complex and muddled as it is! Map: The overly spread out regions of Cava. Credit: Cava DO We then get into the grapes and winemaking: Whites: Since most Cava is white, the white grapes dominate. Most important are the indigenous grapes, Macabeo (Viura, the white of Rioja), Xarel-lo, and Parellada. Chardonnay is also authorized, as well as Subirat Parent (Malvasia) for semi-sweet and sweet Cava. Photo: Macabeo. Credit: D.O. Cava Reds: Used for rosado (rosé), native grapes are Garnacha (Grenache), Trepat, and Monastrell (Mourvèdre). The Cava DO authorized Pinot Noir for use in rosado in 1998 Winemaking: We discuss the vineyard requirements for the making of quality Cava, including the importance of gentle picking and transport to the winery to prevent oxidation We briefly review the Traditional Method (Champagne Method) of winemaking, which is how all Cava is made Photo: Riddled Cava, ready for disgorgement.. Credit: D.O. Cava We discuss the aging qualifications for Cava, Cava Reserva, Cava Gran Reserva, and Cava Paraje Calificada that range from a minimum nine months to several years, and what each style yields We review the various dosage levels so you know what to look for: “Brut Nature” - no added sugar Cava Extra Brut – very little sugar Cava Brut: Slightly more added sugar in the dosage, sugar is barely noticeable Cava Extra Seco: heavier mouthfeel, noticeable sugar Cava Seco: Dessert level, very sweet Semi Seco: Even sweeter Dulce – Super sweet We discuss why Cava is such a big mess, with much infighting in its modern history, and why not all sparkling Spanish wine is created the same: We talk about the first fissures in Cava, with the 2012 break off of Cava OG producer Raventós i Blanc leaving the Cava DO because the quality standards were too low -Vino de la tierra Conca de l'Anoia (their own site) Photo: Raventós i Blanc Rosado, Vino de la Tierra We discuss the 2015 formation of The Association of Wine Producers and Growers Corpinnat (AVEC) or Corpinnat. We define the group and talk about its requirements for the small member producers: Mission: Create a distinguished, excellent quality, terroir-driven sparkling wine based solely on Penedès, rather than far flung regions that make lesser wine. To raise the profile of Cava from cheap shit to good stuff Photo: Corpinnat corks. Credit: Corpinnat Website Corpinnat Requirements At least 75% of the grapes must be from vineyards owned by the winery, wine must be made on the premises of the winery Minimum price paid for livable wages to the growers Certified organic and hand harvested grapes 90% of the grapes must be indigenous varieties: Macabeo, Xarel-lo, Parellada for whites, Garnacha, Trepat, Monastrell, for reds. 18 months minimum aging **By design: Cava's three biggest producers can't meet the requirements: Cordoniu, Freixenet and García Carrión – which is why Corpinnat started in the first place, to raise the quality standard and allow smaller producers a voice Corpinnat members (2022): Gramona, Llopart, Recaredo, Sabaté i Coca, Nadal, Torelló, Can Feixas, Júlia Bernet, Mas Candi, Can Descregut, Pardas We discuss the qualifications of the Cava Paraje Calificado classification, created by the Cava DO in 2017 for single-estate sparkling wines with a vineyard designation, lower yield, and a longer aging period Cava de Paraje Calificado requirements include specifications for: lower yield, manual harvest, minimum fermentation time in the bottle at 36 months. Vines must be at least 10 years old and the wine must be produced locally in the same winery that grows the grapes. Issues: Includes the large wineries' estate vineyards and (originally) some smaller ones but doesn't address the issue of quality or cohesive terroir/flavor. It's like a medal system – here are our best wines! Photo: Paraje Califado Cava -- Can Sala, Freixenet Disastrous conclusion: The Cava Paraje Calificada was the solution to the Corpinnat – it was meant to be more inclusive. But Corpinnat was supposed to be a new small producer/ quality designation within Cava. Because it excludes large producers, the DO wouldn't allow Cava and Corpinnat on the same label, and Corpinnat left the DO. They cannot use Cava, or Gran Reserva on their labels. Of the 12 wines approved as CPC in 2017, 5 aren't CPC anymore, only Corpinnat We address most recent regulations of Cava in 2020 The Cava Regulatory Council approved new zoning of the Cava DO. We review the subzones that are supposed to create a better delimitation for consumers: Comtats de Barcelona - 95%+ of Cava production Includes Sant Sadurní d'Anoia, the "capital of Cava" – where the first bottles of Cava were produced in 1872 Location: In Catalonia, in northeast Spain. Along the Mediterranean coast near Barcelona Climate: Mediterranean climate, slight variations inland versus coast but mostly long summer, lots of sun, hot summer and spring - easy to ripen grapes, lots of different grapes thrive Land: Diverse terrain – various exposures, orientation, altitudes, and microclimates Five Sub-zones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): Valls d'Anoia Foix, Serra de Mar, Conca del Gaià, Serra de Prades and Pla de Ponent Each has a slightly different character – some more at elevation, some farther from the sea – slight variations in flavors and what grows where Map: Detail of the Comtats de Barcelona Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO The Ebro Valley area Northernmost part of the DO, far in the interior, near and influenced by the river Ebro Climate: Temperate, continental climate – summers are hot and dry with cold winters Two subzones (used for Reserva and Gran Reserva Cava, more limited yields, organic viticulture, vineyards 10+ years old): the Alto Ebro around Rioja, Navarra, and the Basque area of Álava and the Cierzo Valley Sub Zone. The Cierzo is near the Aragonese city of Zaragoza in the central area of the Ebro River, with strong regional winds (the Cierzo) to dry out the area Map: Detail of the Ebro River Valley Cava Zone. Credit: Cava DO Smaller zones: Levante: (Eastern Highlands, no official name yet), in interior of Valencia province, with a dry Mediterranean to semi continental climate depending on whether altitude) Viñedos de Almendralejo (Almendralejo vineyards): Fairly flat, southwestern-most part of the DO. A very dry, hot climate, with warm wind, known as the solano We end with an update of where Cava is today (hint: it's huge and growing, it's trying to improve by moving towards organics, it's still fighting against Corpinnat) and what could be the next step for Corpinnat too. A fascinating show that takes you on the wild ride that the region and wine has been on since we first discussed it those many years ago. __________________________________________________ Thanks to our sponsors this week: Wine Spies uncovers incredible wines at unreal prices - on every type of wine in a variety of price points.

John Bargaard — the central character of Peter Geye's new novel — possesses powerful muscle memory from his days as a ski jumper. He remembers the intensity of focus, the feeling of flying through the air, the shattered glass moment of landing. But he's just been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and he faces the real prospect that his memories — and the secrets he harbors — will dim with his future. That's the launching point of “The Ski Jumpers,” Geye's latest book. Like many of his earlier works, this one is set in Minnesota, with winter as a backdrop to many pivotal scenes. But unlike books like “Wintering” and “Northernmost,” this one is personal. MPR News host Kerri Miller talks with Geye about what makes “The Ski Jumpers” so intimate to him on a special Big Books and Bold Ideas. Hear why this book took decades for Geye to write, how his own history of ski jumping inspired him and why the central questions of this book are the gateway to Geye's truest religion.

He remembers the intensity of focus, the feeling of flying through the air, the shattered glass moment of landing. But he's just been diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, and he faces the real prospect that his memories — and the secrets he harbors — will dim with his future. That's the launching point of “The Ski Jumpers,” Geye's latest book. Like many of his earlier works, this one is set in Minnesota, with winter as a backdrop to many pivotal scenes. But unlike books like “Wintering” and “Northernmost,” this one is personal. MPR News host Kerri Miller talks with Geye about what makes “The Ski Jumpers” so intimate to him on a special Big Books and Bold Ideas. Hear why this book took decades for Geye to write, how his own history of ski jumping inspired him and why the central questions of this book are the gateway to Geye's truest religion. Guest: Peter Geye writes and lives in Minneapolis and is the author of many books. His latest novel is “The Ski Jumpers.” Subscribe to the MPR News with Kerri Miller podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts or RSS.

In this Small Biz Founder episodes, we're highlighting the amazing work of Jenny Tse and her business, Sipping Streams Tea Company. She's a certified tea specialist and Sipping Streams has won multiple prizes (including 1st place) at the North American Tea Championships. But how did she get there and how does she and her partner keep everything running? Jenny was born in Hong Kong and raised in Alaska where she was active in the local community, selling her family's vegetables at the local farmers market. After traveling to visit various Chinese tea farms, she was inspired to share the knowledge with her local community. With restaurateur parents, and after pursuing two previous careers – one of which was as a high school teacher who taught tea classes – Jenny decided to open her own tea room. From there, the rest is history. Jenny published a book filled with her knowledge, has won multiple awards, and was invited to speak at the World Tea Expo. Just this summer, she started the world's Northernmost tea farm, which is also the only geothermal tea farm in the world. There's no limit to what she can (and will) accomplish! We talk about her experience launching and scaling Sipping Streams Tea Company, how it ties into her generational legacy, and how Multi-Stream Machine helped her on her exciting journey, even after she had been in business for several years.

Murder, My Dude closes out 2021 with a trip back in time to New Year's Eve 1964, and a trio of killings just South of the Canadian Border. When a couple travelling to ring in the New Year with family pulled into a rest stop at the Northernmost tip of the as-yet-unfinished Interstate 81, they found more than a bathroom of questionable quality. The rest stop wound up being the final resting place of a family with a very, very checkered past, and this week we look at their story. BUT FIRST! This Week In Murder looks at a new serial killer and a verdict rendered in an officer involved shooting. And we close with a game of Who Died The Worst that covers land, air, and sea! Happy New Year - we'll see you in 2022! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/murdermydude/support

Up these stairs there's another spectacular view of the Hudson River and Palisades.Today Felix Mendelssohn's music is once again played in Germany, and his statues and reputation have been restored. New listeners can discover, enjoy, and honor his legacy.The refugees from Hitler's Germany are almost gone. A local social service agency in 2021 estimated that around 300 remain in the neighborhood. Every day, new arrivals discover this unique neighborhood for themselves, just as the German Jews and their children did. They leave extraordinary stories, most never told, and some passed on to the next generation, which now includes you.We hope you enjoyed this historical and musical tour in the footsteps of the German Jews of Washington Heights.

Pagans celebrated the Summer Solstice with bonfires. After Christianity spread in Europe and other parts of the world, many pagan customs were incorporated into the Christian religion. In Slovakia, the Midsummer celebration continued, but was observed around the time of St John's Day, on June 24, to honor St John the Baptist instead of the pagan gods.Zuzana Kovacicova spoke with ethnologist Katarina Nadaska about June traditions. And because the month of June is also dedicated to East Slavic Ethnicity called The RUSYNS, which has a long and rich tradition, which many Slovaks admire, they also talk about The Rusyn people of Slovakia. - Pohania oslavovali letný slnovrat vatrami. A mnohé pohanské tradície sa aj po príchode kresťanstva do Európy a iných častí sveta naďalej zachovávajú. Na Slovensku bola zvlášť silná “Svätojánska tradícia”, okolo sviatku Svätého Jána, 24.júna. Namiesto pohanských bohov si však kresťania uctievajú svätého Jána Krstiteľa.Zuzana Kovačičová hovorila s etnologičkou Katarínou Nádaskou o júnových tradíciách, ako aj Slovenských Rusínoch, ktorých bohatej a starej tradícii je mesiac jún tiež venovaný.
The North Coast 500 is often referred to as Scotland's equivalent to America's route 66! It's a 500 mile round trip from our northernmost city, Inverness and takes you to the far north of Scotland and through the Northern highlands. It was created in 2014 by the North Highland Initiative, a non-profit organization as a way of boosting economic growth across the region. The NC500 is not a single road or highway like Route 66 but instead is a series of existing roads that form a loop. It's become a major tourism success story in Scotland with tens of thousands of people having already driven the route. The Scenery includes rugged coastline, beaches,farmland, rivers, forests, lochs, and mountains. You'll also see local wildlife such as deer, squirrels, birds of prey, seabirds, and sea life such as dolphins, whales and seals. There are plenty of sheep and highland cows as well as things to see and do along the way like castles, heritage sites, museums, spectacular beaches, whisky distilleries, breweries and much more. Spend at least 5 days on the route to give yourself time to enjoy the scenery and attractions along the way but you can do it in a few days. The best time is in the summer months when attractions are open and roads are unlikely to be closed You can go in either direction, but if you are new to driving in Scotland then I recommend going anticlockwise and heading up to John O Groats first as the roads in this direction are easier to navigate and it means you are keeping some of the best scenery and worst driving conditions till last. The route will go past some spectacular coastal scenery, At John O Groats you can take photos next to the famous signpost with signs showing distances to various destinations or take a detour over to the Orkney Isles. Heading round the coast will bring you to Thurso, our Northernmost town where there's a great whisky distillery called Wolfburn, pretty good whisky. You come into areas deserted during the Highland clearances when tenants were forced off their land, many Scottish crofters emigrated to Canada and the United States. Make a stop in Durness to see the Smoo caves and indulge in some chocolate at Cocoa Mountain. It's pretty windy round here but you'll be hard pushed to find fresher air. You'll be spoilt for choice scenery wise and finally you'll reach the town of Ullapool, gateway to the Outer Hebrides and a wonderful wee town with some great seafood restaurants. From Ullapool down to Applecross is where the driving gets a bit trickier with single track roads and some sharp bends, blind summits and the rest. There are plenty of opportunities to get off the beaten track, instagrammable photo opportunities at every turn and the views will truly take your breath away. So now for some driving etiquette, the roads in this part of Scotland can be quite narrow and winding so keep your speed down as you never know what will be around the corner! There may be sheep or cows or even deer on the roads, a tractor or a cyclist. Some parts of the NC 500 will be single track roads which means only 1 car can pass at a time the side of the road you will find passing places, usually marked by a black and white sign where you can pull over to let the car coming in the opposite direction pass by. The custom is that if you see a car approaching, you pull into the next passing place on your side of the road. If someone is coming uphill, you give them priority and passing places can also be used to let traffic overtake you especially if you are driving slowly to enjoy the scenery. If someone flashes their headlights at you, they are usually indicating that you can go first, and 1 final thing, it is customary to thank the other drivers for letting you pass by raising your hand Passing places are not parking places so don't stop there to take photos, this could quickly block the road and the locals will be far from impressed. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/adventuresinenglish/message

Welcome to Saint Albans, Vermont! We are visiting the city, not the town which surrounds it. Yep, the city is surrounded by a town of the same name. The area was originally chartered in 1763 but didn't see much growth until after the Revolutionary War. The town was also the site of the Northernmost engagement of the Civil War, known as St. Albans Raid. The city of St. Albans was incorporated in 1902 from a 2 square mile area within the town. We can't find any good reason for it, but it seems to be a common occurrence in Vermont. The area is known for its Maple Syrup production and is one of the many towns on Lake Champlain that have reported sightings of Champ, the lake monster said to live in the lake. We hope you enjoy our little trek through Saint Albans!

Roughly two miles south of Hadrian’s Wall lie the remains of Roman Corbridge, the northernmost town of the Roman Empire. The site’s archaeology is unique. The remains highlight what was once a bustling town. As its centre was the high street. Covered walkways, street-side shops and an ornate fountain are just a few of the structures that we know were present along this central road, now known as the Stanegate. Metres away, however, you have the remains of very different structures surviving. Military buildings, ‘mini forts’ that were slotted into Corbridge’s bustling town landscape, when the legionaries returned here in the 2nd century. Though not on Hadrian’s Wall itself, this ancient cosmopolitan town had strong economic connections with those manning this frontier. It is a must-see site for anyone planning to visit Hadrian’s Wall.A few months back, I was fortunate enough to visit Corbridge and be shown around the site by English Heritage curator Dr Frances McIntosh.The full tour / documentary can be viewed on History Hit TV.

Have you ever wondered what mourners might say about you at your memorial service? When Odd Einar Eide appears at his own funeral after a treacherous expedition to the Arctic, he finds his shocked and unsettled widow and a pastor spouting nonsense. Even Eide’s horse seems startled to see him. Peter Geye’s “Northernmost” swings between towering glaciers and hungry bears to a modern-day descendant of his family enmeshed in an unhappy marriage.The decisions his characters make in the novel seem to revolve around something that our explorer realizes: “A man should want a bigger life,” Odd Einar thinks. “He should want to make discoveries. To find a kind of happiness he could not find in his everyday lot.” Novelist Peter Geye joined MPR News host Kerri Miller for a conversation about the inspiration behind the family saga, the undercurrent of angst within relationships and how time forces us to reflect on the legacies we leave behind.To listen to the full conversation you can use the audio player above.

#010 – Canada's Northernmost Life Master Bridge Player. An interview with Chic Callas With years of passion and commitment towards mastering the game of Duplicate Bridge, Chic Callas has recently achieved “Life Master” status through the American Contract Bridge League. Not an easy task by any measure regardless of where you happen to reside. Factor in the remoteness of living in the Yukon Territory, and the logistics related to attaining Life Master status is compounded to say the least. Duplicate Bridge is of course a partner's game, requiring players to participate in sanctioned events that are monitored throughout the ACBL network far afield from Canada's north. Throw in a worldwide pandemic, travel restrictions, and the Yukon's remote location and you have a plethora of hurdles to get over just to make it to a tournament. Plus, we haven't even begun to talk about the difficulty of mastering the game itself yet! It's little wonder why many Yukon Bridge players have reached out to My Amazing Yukon Life requesting to hear the story behind the man who has clearly beaten the odds on so many levels. Not only does Chic clearly love the game of Bridge, he regularly teaches it to members of the Yukon community who equally enjoy his same passion for the game. Perseverance + passion + pandemic = Canada's Northernmost Life Master Bridge Player, Chic Callas.

A Mighty Empire is threatened by a coalition of evil forces from the badlands of the North. An epic tale of sword and sorcery. This is a story about a mighty Empire. A mighty Empire, ruled by a noble king. For many years, the people of the Empire had lived in peace and prosperity. But, far North, in the barren and untamed wastelands beyond the civilised world, a darkness was growing. A fearsome and terrible warlord by the name of Brutus the Merciless had united clans and armies of barbarians, mutants, and savages. It was said that he planned to march this gigantic force South, with the ultimate aim of taking the throne for himself, and enslaving the people of the Empire. Whispers of fear and uncertainty began to spread throughout the towns and villages of the South. The King pleaded for calm, and assured his people that they were not at risk. This Empire had stood for a great many thousands of years. They'd seen off countless similar attacks in that time, and this one would be no different – if it indeed came at all. As a precaution, scouts were regularly sent North to investigate and report back on what was going on up there. But none ever returned. That was, until one day, on the outskirts of the Northernmost town of Cludgiemyre. This was a rustic town, with a salt-of-the-Earth population, hardy, and world-weary. Though the people here often complained that they were the “forgotten town of the Empire”, being way up here in the North, Cludgiemyre was of great strategic importance. They called it the Gateway to the North, because it was wedged in the valley between the mighty peaks of the Stauner Mountains. If an attack was to come from the Badlands, the invaders would most likely head straight through Cludgiemyre on their way into the Imperial Heartlands. The townsfolk were already on edge, that fateful day, when a young guard on the town wall spotted a lone figure stumbling down from the pass. It was one of the King’s scouts, covered from head to toe in dried blood, having spent time as a guest in one of Brutus the Merciless’ torture camps. He had managed to escape and travel homeward, to give warning to the people of the Empire, and confirm their worst fears. Brutus had forged an unholy alliance with the infamous Necromancer Bryar, Lord of the walking corpses. Also forging part of this alliance was the cold and cruel Beastmaster Alicia, with her hordes of mutant barbarians, trolls, and other savage creatures. They were joined too by the forces of General McGeever. A ruthless and uncompromising champion who led a contingent of battle hardened mercenaries. The escaped guard told the folks of the Empire that this dark coalition – an army of unprecedented size and strength - would soon begin their descent on the Empire’s capital city. As scared as they were though, the folks of Cludgiemyre weren’t the types to run from danger. A raven was sent to the King himself to tell him of this grave news, and the townsfolk agreed that once reinforcements arrived, they’d be on the front line with them. But it wasn’t the King’s soldiers who first appeared through the guard’s looking glass on the Southern horizon. It was two men on horseback. They were Bard Leon the Powerful, and his faithful scribe Dougal. Bard Leon had come to chronicle the war that would go down in history as the one that changed these lands forever.
There is an arctic that lives in the mind of those who have not yet been. There are ideas, concepts, trends and theories reported about the arctic everyday. But making the trip to Nunavut, experiencing the people, travelling the land, seeing the wildlife— these are what fill us with reverence and awe, kindness and warmth, humility and sense of achievement. The arctic is a lived experience, one that can’t be appreciated, until you’ve been.

HARLINGEN, RGV - The South Texas Birding Festival is coming up on Nov. 6, 2019. Birders from all over the United States and the World converge in Harlingen for the Festival.If you look at a map of the United States you will see that the Rio Grande Valley is a sort of “funnel” into Central and South America. What this means is that birds from all over the United States and Canada travel through the Rio Grande Valley as they migrate South. I have spoken to Birders that show me their “Life Lists” of birds they had never seen before they came to the Birding Festival.Since was a kid, I’ve been listening to the sound of the “Chachalaca,” a bird that most people in the United States have never heard. In South Texas parlance we frequently refer to a noisy person as a “Chachalaca.” If you heard it you would understand why it is a sort of natural noisemaker. South Texas is the Northernmost range of the Chacalaca. Click on the link above to hear the Chacalaca. We’ll see you at the Birding Festival.

This week's episode is all about Caribbean Carnival vibes, not on the islands south of the U.S. though, but actually right here in the Big Easy. New Orleans is known for many things. Being the northernmost Caribbean city, however, isn't widespread knowledge.

Geronimo talks with them about what inspired the festival (4:48), Caribbean culture spreading across the world (14:41), the actual NOLA Caribbean experience (24:41), what it takes to organize the festival each year (29:34), and Random Aside (42:52).

Greenland’s ice sheet is now shedding ice so fast (five times faster than it did in the 1990s) that scientists have labeled Greenland’s seasonal sea ice “a rotten ice regime.” For 20 years, writer Gretel Ehrlich has traveled with Inuit hunters in Greenland, listening to their narratives and observing changes in their traditional hunting. This past spring, she went with some of those Inuit hunters to Paris, with plans to speak at the climate talks which were dashed when terrorists struck the city. In conversation with award-winning NPR journalist Neal Conan, Ehrlich reports on her experience in Greenland and Paris and discusses the challenge of climate change—how can we move from “it’s too late…” to “there’s much we can do”?Click here for photos from the program.
