In 1978, a team of Soviet geologists working deep in the Siberian taiga came across something they never expected to see: a house. As it turned out, they had stumbled on a family that had lived in complete isolation for decades – they weren't even aware of World War Two. Sophie Pinkham, author of the new book “The Oak and the Larch: A Forest History of Russia and Its Empires,” tells us the story of the Lykov family and what drove them into the forest. Check out Sophie's book about how Russia's vast forests have shaped its history and culture: https://wwnorton.com/books/9781324036685 There's also Sophie's longread about the Lykovs in The Guardian, adapted from her book: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jan/22/forty-years-in-the-siberian-wilderness-the-old-believers-who-time-forgot We always want to hear from you!

In this podcast, Jon Teater (Whitetail Landscapes) discusses various aspects of hunting property management with professional forester Tim Russell (Green Fire Forestry & Wildlife Services). They delve into the importance of understanding forest management plans, evaluating timber, and the significance of maintaining diversity in forest stands. The conversation also touches on the terminology surrounding selective cutting and the ecological role of leaf litter in forest ecosystems. Listeners gain insights into practical tools for landowners and the complexities of managing their properties effectively. This conversation delves into the complexities of forest management, focusing on leaf litter's role in soil chemistry, the challenges of oak regeneration, innovative management techniques, and the implications of clear cutting. The speakers discuss practical strategies for enhancing wildlife habitats and ensuring sustainable timber harvests, emphasizing the importance of planning, and understanding ecological dynamics. Takeaways Understanding the neighborhood is crucial before purchasing land. Timber management should align with landowner objectives. Regular updates to forest management plans are necessary for tax benefits. Landowners can evaluate timber using basic metrics like diameter and species. Diversity in tree species is important for forest health and resilience. Selective cutting can mean different things; clarity is essential. Leaf litter is vital for nutrient cycling in forest ecosystems. Tree selection should consider both habitat and economic factors. Maintaining a balance of species prevents dominance and promotes health. Understanding the role of leaf litter can enhance forest management strategies. Leaf litter plays a significant role in soil chemistry. Different tree species affect soil pH differently. Light is often more limiting than nutrients for tree growth. Oak regeneration is a critical concern for forest management. High deer populations complicate oak seedling survival. Managing shade tolerance is essential for oak regeneration. Slash walls can be effective in protecting seedlings from deer. Clear cutting can create beneficial habitat features. Proper planning is crucial for successful timber harvests. Treating forests well leads to better wildlife outcomes.

Frodo, the Hobbit, was tasked with destroying the ring of power in the fiery lava of Mount Doom. Frodo and his faithful friend, Sam, traveled approximately 1800 miles from Bag End in the Shire to Mount Doom in Mordor. They traveled through forests, caves, swamps, and mountains. This is the equivalent of walking from New York City to San Antonio, Texas. Their journey took exactly 6 months and 2 days.This was a journey of faith. Frodo and Sam had to believe the words of Elrond of the Elves and the council of Gandalf the Grey that they would survive to destroy the ring on Mount Doom.Abram, the son of Terah, was called by God to leave his homeland in Ur and move with his family to Haran. Moses writes, "Terah took his son Abram, his grandson Lot, who was the son of Haran, and his daughter-in-law Sarai, who was the wife of his son Abram, and they set out from Ur of the Chaldeans to go into the land of Canaan. They came to Haran and lived there" (Genesis 11:31). The distance from Ur to Haran was approximately 600 miles. This journey likely took several months.Later, Abram left his father in Haran and traveled to Canaan. The distance from Haran to Shechem in Canaan was about 450 miles. This would have taken several weeks to travel. Remember, Abram was a spry 75 years old when he left Haran. Abram traveled approximately 1050 miles. That's like traveling to Dallas or Chicago from Casper. This was a journey of faith for Abram.Each of you is on a journey of faith. It's always interesting to learn the reason you moved to Casper. For some, it was family or education or the energy industry or other employment opportunities. You know from experience how difficult life can be in Casper. There are booms and busts with the energy industry. One of the major exports from Casper is its youth. I've been told it gets cold and snowy here. I've experienced the wind.When we moved here, Shelley and I didn't know anything about Casper or Wyoming. We had only driven through a portion of Wyoming once. Driving to Casper, we saw the windsock and high wind warning signs on 258. The first thing Shelley said to me when we arrived at the parsonage was, "Where did you move me to?!"All of us, at one time or another, moved out here on a journey of faith.It isn't only a journey of faith with our physical location, but it's also a spiritual journey of faith from the baptismal font to the grave.It took a lot of faith for Frodo to leave the safety, peace, and quiet of the Shire. Especially because he would encounter Nazgul, orcs, Urak-hai, a cave troll, Belrog, Gollum, and Shelob the spider. Frodo is stabbed by the Witch-king, choked by Gollum, and injected with spider-poison from Shelob. All while being watched by the giant flaming eye of Sauron.Moses writes, "Now the Lord said to Abram, 'Get out of your country and away from your relatives and from your father's house and go to the land that I will show you'" (Genesis 12:1). It took a lot of faith for Abram to leave the safety, peace, and quiet of living near his father, Terah, in Ur. We're used to moving out of our parents' home at 18. Then possibly moving hundreds of miles away. That didn't happen back then. You stayed in communal life with your family.Plus, when Abram moves from Haran, he doesn't know where he's going. God hasn't told him the destination yet. The Lord said to Abram, "Go to the land that I will show you." Wherever it was going to be, Abram hadn't been there yet.The key to faith isn't the person believing. The key to faith is the object in which the person believes. Abram believed in God's rock-solid promises. What were those promises?The Lord said, "I will make you a great nation" (Genesis 12:2). Remember, Abram is 75, Sarai is 65, and Sarai is barren when God's makes this promise. Abram would have many descendants -- physical and spiritual. Abram has lots of physical descendants as children of Isaac -- the Jews -- and Ishmael -- the Arabs. (They don't seem to be getting along right now.) Though, we Christians are not physically descended from Abram, it's more important that we are his spiritual descendants. St. Paul explained, "For this reason, the promise is by faith, so that it may be according to grace and may be guaranteed to all of Abraham's descendants -- not only to the one who is a descendant by law, but also to the one who has the faith of Abraham. He is the father of us all. As it is written: 'I have made you a father of many nations'" (Romans 4:16-17).The Lord said, "I will bless you" (Genesis 12:2). God would be with Abram and his descendants. When God blesses us, there's nothing else we need. We don't need luck or chance or fate. Which is good, since none of those things exist. Only God's divine will and providence exist.The Lord said, I will make your name great" (Genesis 12:2). Several generations earlier, the people at Babel built the city and tower for the purpose of, "let's make a name for ourselves" (Genesis 11:4). God humbled and scattered them. God takes a humble man like Abram and makes his name so great that we still remember and thank God for him roughly 4100 years later.The Lord said, "You will be a blessing" (Genesis 12:2). This blessing comes through Abram's greatest descendant -- Jesus. The Savior blesses the whole world with forgiveness and peace.The Lord said, "I will bless those who bless you, and I will curse anyone who dishonors you" (Genesis 12:3). As we heard last Sunday, Satan's offspring will continue to be hostile to Eve's believing offspring. But God is always on the side of his people.The Lord said, "All of the families of the earth will be blessed in you" (Genesis 12:3). Again, this is a promise of blessing through Abram's great descendant, Jesus Christ.Moses writes, "So Abram went, as the Lord had told him. Lot went with him. Abram was seventy-five years old when he departed from Haran. Abram took Sarai his wife, Lot his brother's son, and all the possessions they had accumulated and the people that they had acquired in Haran, and they set out to travel to the land of Canaan. Eventually they arrived in the land of Canaan. Abram passed through the land until he came to the Oak of Moreh at the place called Shechem. The Canaanites were in the land at that time" (Genesis 12:4-6). Abram is going to be living among heathens and pagans. His descendants would eventually have to dispossess the Canaanites of their land."The Lord appeared to Abram and said, 'I will give this land to your descendants.' Abram built an altar there to the Lord, who had appeared to him. He moved on from there to the hill country east of Bethel and pitched his tent there, with Bethel on the west and Ai on the east. There he built an altar to the Lord and proclaimed the name of the Lord" (Genesis 12:7-8). At this critical moment for Abram, the Lord appeared to him to reaffirm and clarify his promise and to bolster Abram's faith. He made it clear that Abram was not to try to take immediate possession of the land. It was only for Abram's descendants that the land of Canaan would become a new homeland. Each new promise of God nourished and exercised Abram's faith.In land of unbelievers, Abram built an altar. Wherever he went, Abram seemed to build an altar to the Lord. This altar was something the unbelievers would see when they passed by it. Abram built a second altar 25 miles away in Bethel. There he "proclaimed the name of the Lord." He was not ashamed to be light in a land of spiritual darkness of false religion and pagan gods. Abram's worship announced the true God into the culture of the heathen Canaanites.It takes a lot of faith to live out West. You're probably a long distance from much of your family. The work and weather out here can be difficult. Like Abram, you may feel alone in your Lutheran faith. There aren't a lot of Lutherans in Wyoming ... especially WELS Lutherans. Abram was surrounded by unbelievers in Canaan. When you're at work or school or your neighborhood, you may be surrounded by unbelievers. And they act like it!What do you do when the culture and community put pressure on your faith? You can be tempted to question and doubt God. To cower and remain quiet about your Lutheran Christian faith. To imagine that you're alone so far away from your fellow WELS Lutherans.When those temptations come along, go back to the promises God made to Abram. Because most of them are promises also involve you. Our spiritual lineage goes all the way back to Abram! Pause and reflect on that for a moment. A few select people on this earth may be able to trace their lineage back through a dozen generations. We can trace our spiritual lineage through an unbroken line all the way back to Abram! How many generations is that? We'll likely never know, but far more than a dozen.Far more comforting than the unbroken line is the providence of our God, who saw to it that the spiritual line remained unbroken so that you -- you, specifically -- would hear the gospel and be brought to faith. You needed to hear the gospel, so God arranged history so that you would! He made sure that the gospel message could travel an unbroken path from Abram to you!The key to faith isn't the person believing. The key to faith is the object in which the person believes. By God's grace, the Holy Spirit began your journey of faith when your parents brought you to the baptismal font as an infant. Or that journey of faith began when you were older and the Holy Spirit converted your heart through hearing and believing God's promises. That journey of faith has led you to worship here at Lord of Lords. A Lutheran church built by your spiritual parents -- some who are still here. Abram built an altar to proclaim the name of the Lord among the heathen people of Canaan. This altar, the church, and the three crosses outside all proclaim the Lord's name to the people who drive by or stop in. You are light in spiritual darkness.This altar is a reminder that when life takes an unfamiliar or uncomfortable direction, remember Abram's wise response. Call on the name of the Lord. Worship him for loving you. In all things God's providence works for the good of those who love him, whom he has called for his purpose. Wherever God leads, call on his name and worship him there.Sam and Frodo made a journey of faith to destroy the ring of power on Mount Doom. Abram and Sarai made a journey of faith by leaving their family and traveling to an unknown destination. That journey of faith included believing they would be parents of a great nation ... when they didn't have any children yet; believing in a Savior from sin ... when he hadn't been born yet; and building an altar to the Lord God ... among people who believed in a myriad of false gods.You are on a journey of faith. You won't have any orcs, cave trolls or giant spiders after you. At least, I hope not! But you will have the Devil and his demons tempting you. You'll have your sinful nature questioning and doubting God's promises. You'll have pagans and heathens attacking your Christian faith.When these things happen ... and they will, trust God's promises made to you and Abram. Trust that Jesus Christ is the fulfillment of those promises. He is Abram's descendant and your Savior. He forgives your doubts. He answers your questions. His Holy Spirit brings you repeatedly before the Lord's altar. Here you are reminded of your Baptism, when God made your name great by putting his Triune name on you.

Welcome to episode 350 of Growers Daily! We cover: today we're talking coffee! As a coffee drinker and soil nerd myself, I was very excited when I met Patricia Cordero at the OAK conference last month and she told me her area of study was soil conservation in coffee production in Puerto Rico. So, naturally, I asked her to come on and talk a bit about the coffee production and soil there and oh boy is it both very awesome with lots of multispecies plantings among the coffee, and also quite sad with the state of agriculture there and farmers struggling to find the labor they need to keep their farms going. But we talk all things coffee from what makes good coffee beans to the techniques they use for soil conservation and so much more. We are a Non-Profit!

In this episode, we open up about the feeling of being “held under”—not drowning, but carrying the quiet pressure of time, expectations, and the weight of rebuilding without a blueprint. reflections amid healing what we didn't break, choosing discipline over reaction, setting firm boundaries, and the discomfort that can show up when growth becomes real. A grounded reminder that pressure isn't always failure—sometimes it's formation, strengthening the roots before anything rises. To become greatness as a mighty Oak, roots must be strengthened.
Send a textWe chase one core question: does the whiskey in the bottle live up to the story. Dark Arts' chief alchemist Macaulay Minton joins us to talk rare woods, fair pricing, Lexington's revival, and why bourbon still works as social glue across differences.• focusing on liquid over labels and hype• Dark Arts' global wood program and toast design• neat-first philosophy and hospitality without pretense• accessible pricing on exotic finishes, including Mizunara• festival plans, limited honey-cask allocations, absinthe launch• Lexington distillery district history and renewal• collaboration across brands and rising-tide mindset• building a team of spirit guides and low turnover• family-first growth, never-sell vision, and stewardship• tasting “presidential” releases on merit, not politics• bourbon as community glue and respectful debateWhat if bourbon could cut through the noise and bring people back to the table? We put that belief to the test with Dark Arts Whiskey House's chief alchemist Macaulay Minton—an independent mind with a global barrel network, a stubborn streak against hype, and a plan to make rare-wood whiskey actually attainable. From trekking for staves and dialing in toast profiles to keeping flagship bottles under eye-popping prices, he shows how craft can be both imaginative and honest.We get hands-on with “presidential” releases and judge them the way whiskey should be judged—by taste, texture, and finish, not the label. Along the way, we dig into the revival of Lexington's historic distillery district: limestone water, living history, and a tasting room that feels part gallery, part laboratory. Hiring “spirit guides” for curiosity and care over classic résumés, the Dark Arts team shapes an experience that reads the guest first and pours second. Collaboration threads through the story—brands sharing space, knowledge, and momentum—because a rising tide really can lift all boats when the liquid holds up.Looking forward, we explore a custom still in the works, a bold absinthe program under Noble Arts, and micro-batches like honey casks headed to festivals including New Orleans. There's a clear line on values: steward the product, respect the community, price with integrity, and build something that lasts through family, not flip it to the highest bidder. Most of all, we celebrate bourbon as social glue—a way to slow down, talk straight, and find common ground over a shared glass.If you care about where whiskey is going—and how it can still bring us together—hit play, share with a friend, and leave a review to keep the conversation flowing.

In Chapter 43 of The Book of Trump, Ghost is joined by Lt. Col. Oak McCulloch for a deep, firsthand examination of the Kosovo War and the geopolitical precedent it set. The conversation traces the breakup of Yugoslavia, the rise of ethnic and religious conflict in the Balkans, and NATO's decision to intervene without UN authorization. Oak shares detailed on-the-ground experiences from his deployment, including the realities of peacekeeping, working alongside Russian forces, and navigating tensions between Serb, Albanian, and Gypsy communities. The episode explores how Kosovo became a turning point in international law, influencing later Russian actions in Georgia, Crimea, and Ukraine. Through historical context, military insight, and lived experience, this chapter connects a decades-old conflict to the modern geopolitical landscape, showing how decisions made in Kosovo continue to echo across today's global power struggles.

Send us a textTwo beers, two moods, and one very honest split. We crack a Masthead Midwest Red IPA expecting a hint of caramel, only to be met with a grapefruit surge and a stubborn bitter finish that divides our panel. One of us gets a sharp, almost chemical edge and heavy carbonation; the other appreciates the hop punch and rides with it. If you've ever argued over an IPA at the table, you'll feel seen here, especially when we unpack how “red” sets malt expectations that “IPA” promptly bulldozes.Then we reset with a Kentucky Bourbon Barrel Toasted Stout that eases in hot and settles into something rich and balanced. Oak, vanilla, a touch of marshmallow, and that warm bourbon finish deliver the kind of slow-sipper that makes sense on a cold night. We both land at 8 and talk through why “toasted” reads smoother than some barrel-aged bruisers. It's bold at 10% ABV without turning into syrup, and it pairs perfectly with stories about winter commutes, snow berms at the end of the driveway, and the simple victory of getting home for a well-earned pour.Between tastes, we veer into real life: salt shortages near a giant lake salt mine, whiteout clippers that follow you on Route 6, and a Queen tribute in a velvet-seat theater where you can actually sit, snack, and sing. That's the bigger theme—context flavors everything. Stress can make a bitter IPA feel harsher; a warm stout can feel like a blanket. Come for the tasting notes, stay for the banter, and leave with a short list of what to buy for your next storm night.If you enjoy candid beer reviews, subscribe on YouTube, follow along on your favorite podcast app, and drop your own scores.

Winston Churchill once said, “Success is going from failure to failure without a loss of enthusiasm.” That's a nice sentiment—I mean, by and large it's good to let failure be a learning experience, to not let it discourage you from following your dreams. But…hear me out here: What if you're just a hot mess? What if every time you go from one failure to the next, you leave a pile of bodies in your wake? Can you be a little TOO good at failure? Should you sometimes maybe acknowledge “Hey, maybe this thing I'm trying to do isn't one of my strengths”? I think some of the people in this week's episode would have left the world a better place if they'd thrown in the towel.Registration is now open for CrimeWave 2.0!

Prodrome is one of those things I get asked about a lot. But not in the way that's quite so direct.

On this episode of Zen and the Art of Real Estate Investing, Jonathan Greene sits down with Nick Corwin, founder of Oak and Ember, to explore what it really looks like to move from long-term rentals into short-term hospitality and eventually into ground-up development. Nick shares how an engineering mindset, strong mentorship, and disciplined downside analysis shaped his early investing decisions. The conversation traces Nick's evolution from owning Midwest long-term rentals to building unique short-term experiences in the Wisconsin Dells. He explains why chasing the middle of the market can be a losing strategy, how combining units and serving overlooked guest segments created an edge, and why operating short-term rentals requires far more systems and empathy than most investors expect. Jonathan and Nick also unpack the realities of entitlement risk, zoning battles, and development timelines. Nick offers a candid look at what it takes to push a project through local approvals, manage rising costs, and stay grounded when timelines and budgets inevitably expand.

In this episode, I speak with Anni Cyrus about the ongoing crisis in Iran, focusing on the regime's communication blackout and its impact on dissent and human rights. Anni highlights the despair of the Iranian people and the media's neglect of their struggle for freedom. We discuss Iran's socio-economic dynamics, regional relationships, and the support for Reza Pahlavi as a potential leader for a more democratic future. Anni's insights illuminate the complexities of Iran's fight for human rights and the need for global recognition and support. Chapters liveuptofreedom.com GETTR: gettr.com/user/AnniCyrus

Oak wilt is a serious disease and the best way to protect your trees is by pruning them only in the dormant season. No one is telling you to go outside on one of the coldest days of the year to prune your oaks, but this is a great time to look out the window, make a plan, study the long-term forecast and put it on your calendar. On this Horticulture Day, Iowa Department of Natural Resources district forester Mark Vitosh joins to share everything you need to know about pruning and dispel myths around exploding trees. Then, Aaron Steil joins to help answer your gardening questions.
In addition to this re-release of "Whisky, Burns Night, and … Beerhenge?" (Originally Released Jan 28, 2022 ) I give a new, quick introduction to Burns night before treating you to this episode on whisky, in which I discuss: what it is, a little history, how it's produced, distinguishing the styles, and a little silliness (because your host cannot help herself). Just the thing for a cold, January in the northern hemisphere on this weird third rock from the sun.

Dan, Daedalus and Julie Julie Pedroncelli from Pedroncelli Winery is back on California Wine Country with Dan Berger and Daedalus Howell. She has been on the show before, the last time was this episode of last January. Dan describes the current slowdown in the wine business. The other times that the wine market went soft, there were one or two causes, but today there are several causes. But the benefit to the consumer is, the longer it takes to sell the wine, the more the wine improves. The Pedroncelli family has owned the property for almost 100 years. The vineyards are very carefully farmed and they take great care making their portfolio of wines. “Four generations and still going strong,” says Julie. Her grandparents put down roots in Dry Creek Valley outside of Geyserville. They bought a property in 1927 that had a vineyard and a shuttered winery. The previous owners were making wine as far back as the early 1900s. Their winemaker Montse Reese just completed her 18th harvest at Pedroncelli. They produce mostly Zinfandel, Cabernet Sauvignon, Sauvignon Blanc and a few red wine blends. Her father is 94 and retired just a few years ago. CWC is brought to you by Deodora Estate Vineyards. Visit Deodora to discover 72 acres in the Petaluma Gap that are producing exceptional Chardonnay, Pinot Noir and Riesling. Sip the difference! Sauvignon Blanc and Zinfandel Julie has brought the “block party” today, with single-vineyard wines that represent certain blocks in the Pedroncelli vineyards. She has brought a Sauvignon Blanc, which they will start with, before moving on to the Zinfandel and others. “White wine is always good to start with.” This Block 11 reserve Sauvignon Blanc, vintage 2024, is not their regular production. It is a special designation reserve. Block 11 showcases the grassier, herbaceous side of SV and Montse Reese thought the neutral oak would bring out that side of SV without overdoing it. Daedalus detects a bit of Pez candy flavor, which Dan thinks is like green mint. Next is a Block 13 Zinfandel from 2023 which was a cool year. This is a little spicy, with a bit of black pepper flavors, and a raspberry note that Dan says is a characteristic of Dry Creek Valley Zins. Block 13 has had Zinfandel grown on it for over 100 years. It is the third generation of Zinfandel vines on the property. Some of the vines are 100 years old but they have replanted twice. It was Zinfandel, then Petit Syrah, then back to Zin. Montse found that this block stands out and merits a single-vineyard bottling. They used bud wood from the Rockpile vineyard for the planting and Montse also uses a yeast that was developed at Rockpile. Julie describes its character as feminine, not high in alcohol, very delicate in its fruit, “…it doesn’t hit you over the head, it’s not a fruit bomb, it’s more like a light spice bomb,” says Julie. Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah The Cabernet Sauvignon needs to breathe, decanted it would be a little more open. The long finish is not oak, though, it’s all the flavors you want in Cab without the other flavors like too much Oak. Dan Berger will be opening a 1966 Louis Martini Barbera next week for a special occasion. There are two Masters of Wine candidates from Taiwan who are taking a course at the Flamingo. Dan has met them and they expressed interest in an old California wine. Dan has one of two remaining bottles. He will open one for the students at Ca’ Bianca in Santa Rosa, along with two or three other wines from the era. The fourth wine they taste today is the Pedroncelli Syrah. Dan says he has never heard of anything like this before. It is a lower-alcohol Syrah, about 12%. This one was earlier harvested, to make a lighter style of red with lower alcohol. They picked two or three weeks before they otherwise would have.

Genesis 12 is one of the most important chapters in the Old Testament because it begins to show us God's plan for the world; as He calls Abraham to establish a new nation of people dedicated to Him. Chapter 12 lays the foundation for much of what unfolds through the rest of scripture. Join us for another key study in a key chapter of God's Word! DISCUSSION AND STUDY QUESTIONS: 1. Read over verses 1-3. What were the promises that God gave to Abram? In what sense were these unconditional promises? From what you can tell in these verses, how does the Lord expect Abram to respond to them? 2. What do these unconditional promises indicate about God, His plan of redemption, and the kind of blessings He would pour out upon Abram and his descendants? 3. According to the study, how will this new nation be different from the nations of the world that we saw back in Genesis 11? How is this difference still to be reflected in the life of believers today? 4. Genesis 12 opens with Abram being 75 years old and living in the northern area of Haran. When God calls Abram to "Go forth from your country," what would this departure have been like for Abram and his family? How was Abram's obedience an indication of his faith? How did Abram respond? How is that a model for our responses to God's commands? 5. How do you think Abram felt about leaving his family and former life behind? How would you have felt if you were in Abram's shoes? 6. In verse 5, who went with Abram on his journey to the Promised Land? Glance back to the list of Abram's family in Genesis 11:27-32. Who did not go with Abram? Why do you think they didn't go with him? 7. In verses 6 and 7, the Lord appeared to Abram at the Oak of Moreh; which was a common place of pagan worship. What did Abram build there? Thinking about this radical action, how do you think Abram had such faith and courage? What does this kind of faith and courage look like in our walk with God today? 8. The study mentioned that there are physical descendants of Abram and spiritual descendants of Abram who have embraced God's New Covenant by faith. Have you accepted God's covenantal offer to join this nation of God-obeyers? If not, why not? If so, what does this look like in your life? 9. The end of Chapter 12 includes an account of Abram not looking very heroic. What happened in verses 10-20? How does this seem incongruent with a man of faith? What does this teach us about the kind of people God uses? Does this give you any hope that God might still have a plan for you? Check out our Bible Study Guide on the Key Chapters of Genesis!

Ron and John conclude Season 6 of Orthodocs.faith with one of the most dramatic missionary stories of the early Middle Ages. They follow Boniface in northern Europe to the Oak of Thor—his axe raised, a crowd watching, and a test of the gods brewing. Was it courageous proclamation to cut down the sacred oak—or cultural vandalism? Join in as they ask what faithful witness looks like when the gospel confronts rival worship head-on. The post Missionary Work, Medieval Style: Part 3 appeared first on Orthodocs.faith.

The ancient Romans shared gifts, especially candles, at the midwinter festival of Saturnalia. In Scandinavian and Germanic cultures, the Yule Log was burned in the hearth, fruit orchards were wassailed, and sheaves of wheat were displayed to carry luck into the New Year. In Celtic cultures, mummers and guisers went door to door, and European mistletoe (Viscum album) was gathered by Druids as a medicinal and magical aid.Ellen Evert Hopman shares folklore, recipes, rituals, and crafts to enliven your Yuletide observance. She explores the origins of the Christmas tree and Santa Claus as well as holiday Spirits and Yuletide animals.
