He was born in Rome, and as a young man was chosen by the Emperor Constantine to assist in the foundation of his new capital at Byzantium. An outbreak of leprosy in the new City became so severe that the Emperor ordered that all lepers, whatever their rank, be driven from the city or drowned in the sea. Zoticus, moved by compassion for these people, went to the Emperor and asked him for a large amount of gold to buy gems and pearls to enhance the glory of the city, 'For, as Your Majesty knows, I am well-qualified in this field.' The Saint then used the gold to ransom all those being led into exile or to drowning, and to establish for them a camp on the hill of Olivet on the opposite shore of the Bosphorus. There he brought the sick and provided for their care.   In 337 Constantius, an Arian heretic, took the throne upon the death of his father. Some of Zoticus' enemies at court, seeing an opportunity, denounced Zoticus to the new Emperor, saying that he not only held subversive views, but had misappropriated public money. When he learned of these charges, Zoticus presented himself to the Emperor, finely dressed, and offered to take Constantius to see the gems and pearls that he had bought on his behalf. When they reached the hill of Olivet, Constantius was astonished to see a company of lepers coming to greet him with lighted candles, honoring and praising him and their patron Zoticus. Then the holy Zoticus said to the Emperor, 'These are the precious stones and brilliant pearls that give luster to the crown of the heavenly Kingdom that you will inherit by their prayers. I bought them for the salvation of your soul.'   Instead of being grateful, the heartless Emperor ordered that Zoticus be tied behind wild mules and dragged until dead. The mules ran down the hill, breaking the Saint's body upon the rocks and brush. Then, of their own accord, they returned to the top of the hill, still dragging the body, and, like Balaam's ass (Numbers ch. 22), spoke and proclaimed that the Martyr must be buried on that hill. The astonished and repentant Emperor ordered the Martyr buried with honor, and commanded that a hospital for lepers be built there, staffed by the best physicians and caretakers.   Saint Zoticus is also called Orphanotrophos, 'Cherisher of Orphans,' because in later years a large orphanage was added to the leprosarium. The orphanage included a general hospital and a home for the aged. The Saint was honored throughout Byzantine history as the patron of the orphanage.

Fifty years ago, through Operation Babylift, LeAnn Thieman was asked to help escort 300 orphaned babies caught in the crossfire of the Vietnam War into the arms of loving families in the United States. This remarkable endeavor changed her life and inspired a later prolific career of writing bestselling books for the Chicken Soup series, as well as a successful speaking career. LeAnn is a wife, mom, nurse, and New York Times bestselling author and shares about the importance of listening to God's divine guidance in our lives. She describes what it was like to answer the Lord's calling and take a leap of faith that resulted in the rescue of hundreds of sweet babies who were orphans. She also discusses the importance of forgiveness and faith, and how these two concepts are inextricably tied together.TAKEAWAYSRefusing to forgive can take a physical toll on the body and keep us in bondageWe have to care for our minds, bodies, and soulsTake time to be still and listen to God's voice speaking into your lifeLeAnn has co-authored 14 Chicken Soup titles

Is adoption for everyone, and what about "curses" from a child's background? In this episode, Kevin and Josh unpack how the Bible holds together mercy and judgment—Exodus 34, Ezekiel 18, and the "333 to 1" mercy ratio—showing that patterns of sin can be broken through faith and repentance. The goal isn't to scare Christians away from adoption, but to ground them in realistic love, ethical wisdom, and rock-solid confidence that God is a mighty Redeemer for the fatherless.

Remember me?" Spanish text and translationYou gifted me a rose but I was only a child so I thought it was a gift reciprocal that I needed to plant a garden so I did and my hands became the color of the earth, my eyes reflected the sky and when the thorns they came I trained myself not to wince at the blood but sunk it deep to feed the roots. Do you remember the rabbit that would stalk me as a child and how I was afraid of it? You laughed that it was a vampire rabbit. I believed you because why wouldn't I? Why wouldn't I believe everything my grandmother would tell me. You were, your eyes, I would look through your eyes, even then I know that I could see through your eyes, and I could see how much you wanted me there but also wanted me gone and I internalized that feeling, that feeling of being so important and yet insignificant. Ay. How love is transcendant, how pain too is part of love and yet you ask me to forget, to forget you...I can't. I can't...Me regalaste una rosa, pero yo nomás era un niño, así que pensé que era un regalo que tenía que reciprocar, que debía plantar un jardín, y así lo hice. Mis manos se volvieron del color de la tierra, mis ojos reflejaron el cielo y al venir las espinas me enseñé a no estremecerme ante la sangre, sino a sumergirla hasta lo más profundo para alimentar las raíces. ¿Te acuerdas de aquel conejo que me perseguía cuando era chiquito y cómo me asustaba? Te burlabas diciéndome que ese conejo era un vampiro. Te creí porque ¿Cómo no te iba a creer? ¿Por qué no creería todo lo que mi abuela me decía?Tú eras, tus ojos, te solía mirar a los ojos, incluso entonces sabía que podía mirar a través de ellos, y en ellos podía ver que me querías ahí pero también que querías que me fuera, interioricé ese sentimiento, ese sentimiento de ser tanto importante como insignificante. Ay. Cómo el amor es trascendente, cómo el dolor es parte de amar y sin embargo me pides que lo olvide, que te olvide… No te puedo olvidar. No puedo… MusicSong for Michael by Magic In the Other Windswept by Ann AnnieGlass Chincilla by The Mini Vandals Jasmine Whispers by Patrick Patrickos Says to Speculation by pATCHESOrbit by Corbyn Kites Who Am I by Text Me RecordsFXALRMClok-Samsung Galaxy Smartphone, CU_Digital, Radio, 70s, 80s, Buzzing_Nicholas Judy_TDC by designerschoice -- https://freesound.org/s/829656/ -- License: Creative Commons 0Antique fireplace clock bell one strike by Kinoton -- https://freesound.org/s/347139/ -- License: Creative Commons 0pigs_munching_suqeeking_210411_0068.wav by titi2 -- https://freesound.org/s/567528/ -- License: Creative Commons 0Singing_Electric_Kettle by nicotep -- https://freesound.org/s/817625/ -- License: Creative Commons 0https://netovampire.com/

What happens when someone decides to live entirely by faith? In this episode of This Is HIS Story, Todd Turner shares a compelling conversation with George Müller — the man who cared for more than 10,000 orphans without ever asking for a penny. Through prayer alone, he watched God provide food, shelter, and hope for thousands.Listen as Müller recounts his rebellious youth, his powerful conversion, and the unwavering trust that shaped every decision of his life. His story still challenges today's believers to depend on God in practical, courageous ways.Whether you serve in ministry or simply want to grow your faith, this episode will stir your heart and remind you that God still answers prayer.

Hail to the Cardinal, Hail to the White, Weirdos!! Welcome to a very special Halloween episode-- It's our WEIRD CENTRALIA LIVE SHOW!! This month Lauren and Ashley had the pleasure of traveling to Centralia, IL to perform to a sold out audience at the Centralia Area Historical Society Museum! We got to chat about ALL THINGS C-TOWN including, but not limited to: The Orphans, May Fete, the Thunderbird, Violin Anne, the 1947 Mine Disaster, Copple's Mansion, the Perrine House & Perrine's Orchard! We laugh, we cry, we SCREAM - this episode is a lot of things. I HIGHLY recommend watching this ep on YOUTUBE (www.youtube.com/keepitweirdpodcast) as we also did have a slideshow presentation and you'll be able to see all the things the audience is reacting to: Old photos, newspaper clippings, even a couple videos! This was one of the most special weekends of our lives and that's all because of the people of Centralia. Everyone who shared their stories with us, taught us about the town's history, invited us to the town museum (Thank you Rick Dodson, Mike Middleton and Jessycka Nix Coleman!) FED us (thank you Simply Soul LLC!) rented us a place to stay (thank you Mallory Fisk!) lent us some audio visual equipment and bought tickets and came out to see our show. We were floored! This show was meant to be a CELEBRATION of Centralia and I do believe we accomplished our goal. I feel closer to my hometown than ever before... and maybe a little more creeped out by it. GO ORPHANS!!!! TRIGGER WARNING: Actually NO cursing-- unless you count "heck" so good for us! But we do talk about death, murder, suicide, slavery AND man-eating birds; so be aware.

In Victorian England, “baby farming” turned unwanted infants into a deadly business. Amelia Dyer, known as The Ogress of Reading, used it to hide an unimaginable number of murders - hundreds of them. This week, we expose the grim world of baby farming, the cruelty of Victorian morality, and how one of the most prolific killers in British history was only a small part of a much bigger problem.Merch and more: www.badmagicproductions.com Timesuck Discord! https://discord.gg/tqzH89vWant to join the Cult of the Curious PrivateFacebook Group?

When Kelsey and Frankie Dame couldn't conceive naturally, they were offered IVF as the obvious solution. But as believers, they didn't want to assume that they should pursue IVF just because they could. Instead, they asked, “What does the Christian worldview say about this?” Their journey through infertility is thought-provoking and redemptive. It helps us think well about navigating conversations about IVF in a culture where our ethics haven't caught up to our technology.    Show Notes  Nightlight Christian adoptions  National Embryonic Donation Center in Tennessee  Katie Faust  Truth Rising  Into the Deep: An Unlikely Catholic Conversion by Abigail Favale  Well Read Mom  The Hunchback of Notre Dame by Victor Hugo __________ The Strong Women Podcast is a product of the Colson Center, which equips Christians to live out their faith with clarity, confidence, and courage in this cultural moment.
