We are in week 8 of our exploration of Ecclesiastes, as reverend Jackie Parks draws us through chapter 9:13-18 and confronts us with one of life's most uncomfortable truths: wisdom doesn't always lead to worldly success. Jackie draws us in to encounter the story of a poor, wise man who saves an entire city from a powerful king, only to be forgotten and despised. It's the ultimate letdown for our success-driven hearts. We want the underdog story to end with fame, influence, and lasting recognition. Instead, we're left wrestling with the absurdity of a hero whose wisdom worked but whose name vanished into obscurity. This passage strips away our transactional view of God—the idea that if we follow His ways, we'll be rewarded with prosperity, recognition, and measurable success. It challenges us to ask: Are we pursuing wisdom because it 'works' in getting us what we want, or because it's the way God created us to flourish? The message points us toward Christ, the ultimate embodiment of wisdom who was despised and rejected, yet through whom true victory came. We're invited to embrace a radical reorientation: wisdom isn't about future success but present faithfulness. It's not about fame but fruit. Living wisely means becoming more fully human in Christ, cultivating joy and faithfulness regardless of circumstances, and trusting that God's ways are worth following even when the world around us seems to reward foolishness.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love speaks with Jacob Parks, President of Profitable Ideas Exchange and author of The Growth Engine, about how professional services firms can drive sustained growth through structured client feedback systems. Jacob reveals that most firms miss huge opportunities by treating client feedback as a formality rather than a core business strategy. He explains that when firms pursue feedback to genuinely learn—not just to increase revenue—they inevitably uncover insights that lead to deeper relationships, new opportunities, and stronger retention. Jacob introduces the concept of client advisory boards—groups of top clients who meet regularly to offer candid feedback, co-create solutions, and shape a firm's direction. He outlines the steps to implement a client feedback system: identify ideal clients, engage them in ongoing two-way conversations, and, most importantly, follow through on the insights gathered. Jacob emphasizes that curiosity, collaboration, and action are the hallmarks of firms that sustain growth over time.

Analizamos sin spoilers lo mejor (y lo que aún tiene que mejorar) de esta serie ambientada en la redacción de un periódico local en decadencia. Con un reparto afilado, un humor que va de menos a más y guiños al legado de Scranton, The Paper es una carta de amor al periodismo... y a las segundas oportunidades. Una comedia que no solo hereda el estilo, sino también el corazón y la ternura de sus predecesoras. Ideal para fans de The Office, Parks and Rec, y cualquiera que alguna vez haya soñado con cambiar el mundo... escribiendo un buen titular. Domhnall Gleeson lidera el caos en "The Paper", la nueva comedia en formato falso documental creada por Greg Daniels y Michael Koman, que comparte ADN con "The Office" pero se abre camino con su propia voz.

KPFA Theatre critic Richard Wolinsky reviews “Sally and Tom” by Suzan Lori-Parks at Marin Theatre through November 23, 2025.           Text of Review: All Men Are Created Equal. Or so Thomas Jefferson wrote in the Declaration of Independence. It's kind of weird then, to know that Jefferson owned slaves. And it's even weirder to realize that one of them, Sally Hemings, was his mistress. What was that about? Which doesn't stop playwrights and screenwriters and novelists from trying to figure it out. Thomas Jefferson took to his bed a child, fourteen years old, a human child he owned. The Merchant Ivory film, Jefferson in Paris, presented the 22 year old Thandwe Newton as Hemings. Thomas and Selly, a play produced at Marin Theatre in 2017 showed Hemings as in her late teens, and perhaps a bit of a seductress. That one didn't go over well in the age of me too. What Suzan Lori-Parks does in her play, Sally and Tom, first presented in 2022 at the Guthrie,  and now through November 23rd at Marin Theatre, is find a way to tell the story without fantasizing one way of another. By incorporating the story of Sally and Tom within the framework of an acting company on the verge of bankruptcy, the playwright can present the narrative and comment on it at the same time. The troupe is putting on a play set right after Jefferson returns to Monticello from Paris.  Tom, in the play within the play, is performed by Mike, the director, and Sally by Luce, the playwright. Mike and Luce are themselves an item, grappling with their own issues as well as how, exactly, to tell the story. Luce won't give an inch when it comes to her play's discussion of racism and sexism. Mike just wants to keep the company going, and his ex wants to finance the show. Along the way, we learn about James, Sally's brother, as well as his performer, Kwame, Luce's ex, and about the other members of the cast.A two-timeline play is a tough one to pull off, but Parks is successful in making it work, with help from director Lance Gardner keeping confusion at a minimum. The ensemble is at the top of its game, particularly the two leads, Emily Newsome and Adam Kuveniemann, as well as Titus Vanhook as Kwame. Michael Phillis, as one of the actors, is always entertaining. Too many speeches that go on too long and repeat themselves, especially toward the end, dampen the play's power, and a gay subplot seems unnecessary. But Sally and Tom is a gem, puncturing the myth, presenting Jefferson as a bastard as well as an enigma. Sally and Tom by Suzan-Lori Parks, plays at Marin Theatre through November 23rd. For more information you can go to marintheatre.org. I'm Richard Woiinsky on Bay Area theatre for KPFA. The post Review: “Sally and Tom” at Marin Theatre appeared first on KPFA.

When the temperature drops and snowflakes start to fall, many assume that local parks and recreation departments take a well-deserved break. However, as Valley Today host Janet Michael discovers in her lively conversation with Jeremy Sanders, Marketing Manager for Frederick County Parks and Recreation, winter is anything but a slow season. Instead, the department ramps up its offerings, ensuring that residents of all ages have plenty of opportunities to stay active, engaged, and connected. The Winter Guide: A Treasure Trove of Activities At the heart of their conversation is the newly released Winter Guide, available both online and soon in print. This comprehensive resource is packed with information about upcoming races, trips, crafting workshops, and sports leagues. Jeremy emphasizes that the guide is designed to appeal to a wide range of interests, from seniors looking for social activities to families seeking ways to get out of the house during the colder months. Notably, the guide also highlights job opportunities for teens and young adults, providing a gateway into the world of parks and recreation. Signature Events: From Turkey Trots to Winter Wonderland Transitioning from the guide's overview, Janet and Jeremy dive into some of the season's most anticipated events. The Thanksgiving Day 5K, a beloved local tradition, has grown so popular that it sold out last year, prompting organizers to raise the participation cap for this year's race. Jeremy shares the behind-the-scenes logistics of managing such a large event, from volunteer coordination to ensuring enough t-shirts and medals for all runners. The race isn't just for adults—kids can join in the fun with their own "tot trot," making it a true family affair. Following Thanksgiving, the excitement continues with Winter Wonderland at Clearbrook Park, now celebrating its 25th anniversary. This walk-through light display features festive activities, food trucks, live music, and even pony rides. Jeremy notes that the event has evolved to include selfie stations and crafting opportunities, ensuring that there's something for everyone, whether you have young children or are simply young at heart. Community Input and Creative Programming One of the most engaging aspects of the conversation is the discussion about how new programs are developed. Jeremy reveals that many ideas originate from staff members' personal interests or from suggestions by community members. For example, after attending a conference, Jeremy was inspired to introduce "letterboxing," a creative outdoor activity similar to geocaching, to the local parks. This openness to innovation ensures that the department's offerings remain fresh and relevant. Trips, Tours, and Togetherness Beyond local events, Frederick County Parks & Rec organizes a variety of trips throughout the winter. Whether it's a bus ride to a Penn State football game, a shopping excursion to New York City, or a visit to the Polar Express Ice Show, these outings provide residents with hassle-free ways to explore new places and make new friends. Janet and Jeremy both agree that the camaraderie of group travel adds an extra layer of enjoyment to these experiences. Staying Informed and Getting Involved To keep the community informed, the department offers an email newsletter, the "Rec Reminder," which highlights upcoming deadlines and new programs. Registration for events and activities is streamlined through the department's website, making it easy for residents to sign up and even add events directly to their digital calendars. Looking Ahead: A Season of Connection As the conversation wraps up, Janet and Jeremy reflect on the importance of community, tradition, and adaptability. Whether you're lacing up your sneakers for a 5K, crafting a holiday wreath, or simply enjoying a stroll through Winter Wonderland, Frederick County Parks & Rec ensures that winter is a season to remember. With a blend of beloved traditions and innovative new offerings, the department continues to bring people together—proving that, in Frederick County, the fun never freezes.

Welcome to Daily Detroit — your guide to what's next, what's now, and what matters in the Motor City. Today, we're diving deep into one of Detroit's biggest challenges and, possibly, its greatest opportunity: what to do with our city's vast tracts of vacant land. Since 1950, Detroit has lost 65% of its population, creating more than 100,000 vacant lots and 18 square miles of unused land. Right now, the city spends more than $1.3 million each year just mowing the grass on these empty parcels, among other costs. But what if these vacant lots were transformed into something new? Parks, forests, community gardens, and green spaces that could help stabilize neighborhoods, improve health and safety, and help us adapt to a changing climate? That's the question at the heart of the latest report from Detroit Future City: "Saving for the Future." To break this all down, I'm joined by two key voices behind the report. Kimberly Faisson, Vice President for Thriving, Resilient Neighborhoods, and Sarah Hayosh, Director of Land Use and Sustainability at Detroit Future City. We'll talk about how a dedicated land conservancy could be a game-changer for Detroit, what the research says about green space and community health, and the practical steps ahead to make this vision real.

The DEADLIEST National ParksBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missing-persons-mysteries--5624803/support.

Much of the world is seeking to find new ways of cleaning up electricity supplies, reducing emissions, and cutting climate pollution from buildings, transportation and more. On this episode of Alternative Power Plays, hosts Alan Seltzer and John Povilaitis talk with two leaders from Energy Innovation, a non-partisan energy and climate policy think tank, about their latest report examining energy parks as a solution to some of these challenges.Energy parks are essentially large-scale microgrids that integrate multiple renewable energy source-and-storage solutions like batteries, and co-locate with electricity consumers such as factories or data centers, all of which is connected to the grid at a single point. And while these energy parks sound good in theory, there are a number of regulatory hurdles that need to be overcome to bring them to life.Eric Gimon, a Senior Fellow at Energy Innovation, and Michelle Solomon Manager in the Electricity Program at Energy Innovation, talk about why energy parks may be the solution to some of our energy hurdles. During the discussion, they share insights into how energy parks work, why they make sense (and for whom they make sense), and what the future looks like for them.To learn more about Energy Innovation, visit: https://energyinnovation.org/To learn more about Michelle Solomon, visit: https://energyinnovation.org/bio/michelle-solomon/To learn more about Eric Gimon, visit: https://energyinnovation.org/bio/eric-gimon-2/To learn more about Alan Seltzer, visit: https://www.bipc.com/alan-seltzerTo learn more about John Povilaitis, visit: ⁠https://www.bipc.com/john-povilaitis

There are more than 150 parks, and over 11,000 acres of land maintained by Portland Parks and Recreation. Parks play a role in providing a community gathering space, an area for exercise and more for communities. And recently, Portland voters cast their ballots on whether they support an increase to the Portland Parks levy. But how have parks changed over the years and which ones have we lost along the way?

We get together with Nella Mae Parks and Maud Powell this week to discuss the challenges of farming in arid environments, and a new network they are forming for growers in those climates! Nella Mae and Maud are from dry parts of Oregon, and they are starting the Western Arid Growers Network (WAGN) to facilitate farmer-to-farmer learning for arid growers. A lot of people think “rainy” when they hear “Oregon.” But Nella Mae and Maud share stories from their own farms to illustrate the peculiarities of farming in their climate, which has low rainfall and wide temperature swings from hot days to cold nights.They also tell us about a Sustainable Agriculture Research and Education (SARE) grant they are working together on, highlighting the role of the SARE program in supporting sustainable agriculture and the launch of the WAGN. Their SARE project will use on-farm research with moisture monitors to help growers in arid climates evaluate how much water they actually need to use for optimum crop growth. This is particularly important in arid environments where water is limited- if less water could be used without compromising growth, that would make the water that is available go further. Stay tuned for the results of this research project. Connect With Guest:Website: aridgrowers.orgInstagram: @aridgrowernetwork Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

Send us a textSo often we hear arguments against homosexuality from conservative Christians who claim biblical authority. But what if that authority is built on a mistranslation? What if the word homosexual was never meant to be in the Bible? That question is at the heart of today's conversation. Sara and filmmaker Rocky Roggio are diving into the groundbreaking documentary 1946: The Mistranslation That Shifted Culture. This film uncovers how a single mistranslation in the Revised Standard Version of the Bible has shaped decades of belief, policy, and pain for LGBTQ+ people and their families. Rocky is a strong voice, among the growing chorus of LGBTQIA+ Christians who want to cure the world of this damaging narrative. Special Guest: Rocky RoggioRocky Roggio is a multi award winning independent filmmaker and production designer. Rocky is also a member of the LGBTQIA+ community, and moved out of her home after coming out to her conservative, religious parents. Rocky's father, Sal Roggio, is a non-affirming pastor and preaches that the LGBTQIA+ lifestyle is sinful.  Rocky lives in Los Angeles, CA, and has been a member of three IATSE unions nationwide. She has a Bachelor's degree in Communications with a focus in Radio, Television, and Film. Her background includes large budget physical production on award winning shows and films such as House of Cards, Parks and Recreation, With Bob and David, Whip It, and Red Dawn.  In 2016, Rocky associate produced and production designed GOOK, a feature film that premiered at Sundance in 2017.  In 2018, when she heard about the 1946 mistranslation in the Bible, Roggio immediately quit all her other endeavors and has focused all her time, money, and resources on producing and creating the 1946 documentary. 1946 is Roggio's directorial debut.Links from the Show: Learn more about 1946, the film, here: https://www.1946themovie.com/promotional-material Meet the creative team behind 1946: https://www.1946themovie.com/creators 1946 Resource List: https://www.1946themovie.com/workbook-resources Join Mama Dragons today: www.mamadragons.org In the Den is made possible by generous donors like you.

Mike met Nick Offerman years ago at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington state, which is fitting because Nick is a man of nature, almost as well known for his woodworking as he is for his acting. After examining the Working It Out studio table, Nick tells Mike about what it was like to act as the straight man to Amy Poehler on Parks and Rec, and more recently prep for his dramatic turn in the film Sovereign. Nick also shares some wisdom from the wood shop care of his new instructional book Little Woodchucks.Please consider donating to Girls Garage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
