“God works through ordinary people to remind us of what miracles look like in action.” John O'Leary was on the verge of death when he was nine years old. Like many kids, he copied something he saw some older boys do. But the result was catastrophic. John caused an explosion in his parents' garage, which left burns over 100 percent of his body. Doctors didn't expect him to survive. Yet John did. In this week's “mini-retreat in a podcast,” hear directly from John O'Leary as he shares stories of what happened, how God saved his body and—ultimately—his soul. Discover how ordinary people in John's path ignited his will to live and set his heart on fire for God. Learn how your heart can be set ablaze by the love of God, too. Watch “Soul on Fire”—the story of John O'Leary—and bring friends! Learn more at soulonfiremovie.com.

Life is complicated and challenging. There is beauty and heartache...and somehow also beauty IN the heartache. In a timely message, Tara Couture, the author of "Radiance of the Ordinary", communicates how she processes and manages to embrace it all. On Tara's Slowdown Farmstead in Canada, she has dealt with the mundane -- from an ornery cow to issues obtaining raw milk -- to the unthinkable -- including the untimely death of her daughter. Tara reminds us that, amidst it all, life is still beauty-full.

Pastor Shay Osborne explains how every believer has both box ministries (within the church) and circle ministries (their personal circles of influence where they live, work, and play). Using John 1 as a model, he shows how ordinary people—like Andrew bringing Peter to Jesus—can impact lives by simply sharing faith within their circles. We are challenged to move from the sidelines into the game, living out the mission daily.

Think dropping hints is “kinder” than being direct? Think again....In this episode of Ordinary to Badass, Marie pulls back the curtain on a leadership habit that feels safe in the moment—but slowly destroys trust on your team: passive-aggressive leadership. From circling around the issue to making side comments, she shares how she broke the habit, the exact words she uses now, and how you can shift from irritation to influence....✨ Theme: Skill-Building Strategies + Mindset Breakthroughs...We're talking about leading with clarity, building trust that lasts, and ditching the behaviors that keep your team second-guessing you....You'll hear:

Twenty-seventh Sunday in Ordinary time | 10.5.2025 | Fr. CJ by Lourdes Denver

Evangelism” sounds like a scary word. You might picture guy in a suit speaking to a stadium or a guy screaming on the street corner. But what if we told you that the people Jesus called to be evangelists are…you and me? This week, Kyle shows us how evangelism isn't just to reach “those” people “out there”, but all of us are called to go not just to the ends of the earth, but to our neighbors next door.  Recorded live at Crossroads Church in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Send us a textI am preaching this homily on our pilgrimage in Poland. We visited Auschwitz/Brirkenau camp this morning; we are celebrating Mass in Sanktuarium Pasyjno-Maryjne, where Karol Wojtyra (St. John Paul II) came on pilgrimage as a boy.When I visited Krakow in 2001, we toured the Wawel Cathedral. There's a great bell in the tower, like Big Ben in London. It weighs 11 tons and it takes 12 people to ring it. This bell is named Zygmunt, and it has been rung for every major event in Poland since it was cast in 1520.frjoedailey@gmail.com

"Now more than ever, a lot of farmers are caught in between this kind of industrial complex that that is difficult to pay the bills with - so you got to get subsidies, and the very real problem of being exposed to all the chemicals that they have  to use to make anything grow in soil that's been hammered and depleted." - Alex Woodard This episode isn't about animals. It's about the ground beneath our feet — and what happens when we forget that our own health, our food, and our future are all rooted in the soil. In his novel Ordinary Soil, Alex Woodard tells the multigenerational story of a farming family in the Oklahoma Panhandle, tracing how decades of industrial agriculture and chemical dependence have unraveled both the land and the people living on it. The result is a sweeping and deeply human narrative that blends science, history, and fiction to show just how interconnected we are with the earth that feeds us. This conversation is about more than farming. It's about resilience, healing, and the choices we still have to turn things around — for ourselves, our communities, and the planet.

The Epstein scandal exposed how deep corruption runs, but higher academia mostly slipped away untouched. Despite Epstein having offices at Harvard, donations to MIT, and close ties with professors, universities escaped the same scrutiny that crushed others. They played dumb, claimed ignorance, and hid behind words like “research” while pocketing predator money. Meanwhile, they still preach ethics and morality to the rest of us, acting like they're society's conscience while proving they'll side with cash over principle every single time.For working-class folks, the double standard is glaring. Ordinary people get hammered for the smallest mistakes, while billion-dollar institutions with political connections remain untouchable. Justice isn't blind; it looks straight at the bank account before moving. The universities knew what they were doing, yet faced no real punishment. Until someone has the guts to drag academia into the same light as everyone else, it's on us to keep the pressure on, to not forget, and to make sure their role in this rotten system never gets buried.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Teaching on Mark 3:13-19

Have you ever felt God asking you to take a step of faith that terrified you? That's exactly what happened to Chris Beth, founder of The Bucket Ministry. What started as a father accompanying his daughter on a mission trip turned into a worldwide effort to bring hope, discipleship, and clean water to tens of thousands of families.

In Ordinary Rebels: Rank-And-File Militants Between War and Peace (Oxford University Press, 2025), Kolby Hanson argues that these periods of state toleration do not simply change armed groups' behavior, but fundamentally transform the organizations themselves by shaping who takes up arms and which leaders they follow. This book draws on a set of innovative experimental surveys and 75 in-depth interviews tracing four armed movements over time in Northeast India and Sri Lanka. A powerful new theory of how conditions shape the trajectory of non-state armed groups, this book reshapes our understanding of why such organizations become more moderate over time.

Send us a textI think the key to this parable is the gate. The rich man is on one side; Lazarus is on the other. In the story, the gate never opens. In fact, its role as a barrier eventually translates into an uncrossable chasm in eternity.I am away this weekend.frjoedailey@gmail.com

In her beautiful book: Ordinary Mysticism: Your Life as Sacred Ground, Bestselling author, translator, and celebrated spiritual teacher, Mirabai Starr Invites us to let go of the limiting belief that spiritual life exists only in traditional places of worship. She shares:You can visit an ashram in the Himalayas,Or kneel in a church pew to connect to the spirit or examine life's big questions—but these aren't the only opportunities to discover the sacred. Life itself, is holy ground. When we choose to embrace Ordinary Mysticism We begin to find magic in the mundane -from weeding in our humble gardens, to a slow evening walk with a friend, to a full kitchen table surrounded by family.Our everyday lives become an encounter with the sacred. In this second conversation in our mini series on the power of mystery and wonder,Mirabai, who has been honored as one of the 100 most spiritually influential living people,Will share much more about Ordinary Mysticism. Including: More of her story, Favorite practices, and powerful insights she's gained from decades of spiritual practice, teaching, and writing.And because it's foundational in creating the conditions for mystical experiences to unfold,We'll explore the power of presence. Mirabai reminding us that when we slow down, When we pay closer attention to our lives,And when we open our hearts and minds to what is -The ordinary starts to show up as miraculous, the boring becomes fascinating, our own shortcomings can turn out to be our greatest gifts. And, we ultimately discover the possibility of being more alive as we awaken to the interconnectedness between all things.For more on Mirabai, Ordinary Mysticism, her books, other writing, teaching and live events, please visit mirabaistarr.comDid you find this episode inspiring?

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Jason Ritchie from Pearland, TX. Thank you for your partnership with us through Project23. Your commitment is helping deliver God's Word with clarity and conviction. This one's for you. Our text today is Judges 5:6–8. “In the days of Shamgar, son of Anath, in the days of Jael, the highways were abandoned, and travelers kept to the byways. The villagers ceased in Israel; they ceased to be until I arose; I, Deborah, arose as a mother in Israel. When new gods were chosen, then war was in the gates. Was shield or spear to be seen among forty thousand in Israel?”— Judges 5:6-8 Deborah paints a grim “before” picture of Israel. The roads were unsafe. Villages were abandoned. Ordinary life was in hiding. And why? Because “new gods were chosen.” They forgot God's resume and hired other “saviors.” These idols couldn't protect them — in fact, they opened the gates for war. Even worse, there wasn't a shield or spear among forty thousand in Israel. Disarmed. Vulnerable. Exposed. When God's people stop remembering His past faithfulness, they stop trusting His present protection. The result? Fear replaces courage, culture decays, and the enemy moves in. Spiritual drift never starts loud. It begins with a quiet forgetfulness. A skipped prayer. A neglected truth. A replaced affection. Before long, God's resume is dusty and idols are on the payroll. The cost is high. We lose peace. We lose protection. We lose purpose. This is why remembering matters — because the moment we forget, we're already drifting. Leaders must recall God's resume daily, and followers must cling to it as if their lives depend on it — because they do. ASK THIS: Where have you been tempted to trust a “new god” instead of the one true God? How do you recognize the early signs of spiritual drift in your own life? What specific truths about God do you need to recall to stand firm today? Who in your life needs to be reminded of God's resume right now? DO THIS: Identify one “idol” in your life — something you've looked to for safety or satisfaction — and replace it today with an intentional act of worship toward God. PRAY THIS: Lord, don't let me drift. Keep Your faithfulness at the front of my mind so no false god can take Your place. Protect me from the slow fade of forgetting You. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Come Thou Fount (Above All Else)."

Hoping I can get your input here… I am a blue belt in jiu jitsu, been doing it for exactly 3 years now. I am on a 95% paleo diet. I will swerve off the road for some pho or random foods when we are out but nothing terrible. 100% no sugar, no processed foods or bread. When I am consistent in jj I can roll one after another and not get too exhausted. I have been good on my diet this year, I have been going to jj 3-4 times a week BUT I have also added in kettlebell circuit training 5x a week for the past 2 months. I am trying to up my strength, at 38 these young fuckers are tearing me up! Anyways, I am exhausted quickly when I roll now and it's frustrating. Can I simply change my diet? I eat a lot of meat, mainly beef. Pretty much stick to meat, veggies and fruit. I don't want to let up on either but shit maybe I need to. Maybe I am not fueling myself enough? Should I eat MORE? Hoping this finds you! Would really appreciate your input.   Looking for podcasts about lifting for health Kristi writes:  Hi Robb and Nicki,  I've been craving some content about lifting lately, and the best YouTubers I know of don't seem to have audio-only podcasts, or they are heavily science and bodybuilding based. The science and bodybuilding is great, but I also like learning about stuff that will help me be fit and strong and mobile, not just pure bodybuilding. I was listening to Robb's old Paleo Solution episodes with Greg Everett and they are great, it's a good mix of good information but also always the caveat that it really depends what you want to do. Greg and Robb would answer the question based on what an Olympic lifter or a powerlifter might do, but also what you might want to do for general health and life. Thanks for any thoughts you might have about this, and thank you for the great work you've done over all these years! PS I listen to a lot of podcasts, so I won't listen to yours any less if you share some good podcast ideas!   Post Heart Attack plan Frederick writes:  Hello Nicki and Robb! I am one of your original dedicated five listeners who now wish he would have listened more carefully to your incomprehensive ramblings! I have written you a question before regarding relevant testing to assess cardiovascular health, what I am now about tell you makes that question irrelevant. I also wrote you a separate e-mail about this, but to my question. It regards an issue with my extremely elevated LDL (696) which has been a concern for me. On August 19 I got the answer to my concerns through a heart attack and a 10 minute cardiac arrest. Thankfully I survived and am able to write this. My story is that I have been keto since 2012 and 95% carnivore since early 2020 (meat, a lot of eggs, full fat dairy and occasionally fish. A few plants like onions and mushrooms for taste). I am 45 years, 10% bodyfat and very athletic since adolescence, so no pre-existing conditions and no cheat days, cheat days is just not who I am. So healthy, athletic and on the "perfect diet" for 15 years and still got heart disease.     Sponsor: The Healthy Rebellion Radio is sponsored by our electrolyte company, LMNT.
