One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on the Daily Radio Bible, a daily Bible‑in‑a‑year podcast with 20‑minute Scripture readings, Christ‑centered devotion, and guided prayer.This daily Bible reading and devotional invites you to live as a citizen of Jesus' kingdom, reconciled, renewed, and deeply loved. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible podcast! On this January 29th episode, join Hunter as he guides us through day 29 of our year-long journey through the Bible. Together, we'll explore the guidelines given in Exodus 23–24, reflect on the heartfelt cry of Psalm 14, and witness the early church's challenges and triumphs in Acts 5—including the powerful and sobering story of Ananias and Sapphira. Throughout the episode, Hunter, your Bible reading coach, helps us see how these passages all point to the Living Word, Jesus—the One who offers us abundant life. We'll be reminded how easily the simple message of Christ can be missed or manipulated, and invited once again to say yes to the true message: life in Him. We finish with meaningful prayers and practical encouragement for our spiritual journey, all wrapped in a spirit of gratitude and community. Thank you for joining us as we walk this pilgrim road together—let's dive into today's reading and let the Word do its work in our hearts. TODAY'S DEVOTION: The message is so simple. And yet, as we read today, Ananias and Sapphira got that message so very wrong. The High Council and the religious leaders, too, missed the central truth. And that's pretty much true to form for most religion—the simple message of God can often be missed, misused, or manipulated. Ananias and Sapphira thought this message was about getting—position, influence, prominence. They wanted to manipulate, to use the message for gain, not for giving. The heart of what God offers was missed in their striving, their attempt to appear generous when it was really driven by self-interest. Then we see the religious leaders; they saw the message as a threat to their control and their standing. They tried to stop it, seeing it not as good news of life but as something that threatened their systems. And isn't this true for us as well? Inside and outside the church we often take the message of life and shape it into something else—a tool for manipulation, or a means to gain acceptance or justify ourselves, or a way to maintain power or status. But the message is so simple, and we see it again today, spoken with clarity by the angel to Peter and John: "Go to the temple and give the people this message of… life." That's it. Life. You've been included into the very life of God. Let go of all the false messages, let go of the need to control, to pretend, to justify. Just say yes to this simple truth, and experience life—here and now. Jesus himself tells us, "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly" (John 10:10). In him was life, and that life was the light of all people (John 4). It's not about power, or prestige, or gaining influence. It's about participating in the abundant, eternal life that God gives freely. Among all the twisted manipulations of the human heart comes God's invitation: Step into life. Don't miss it; receive it, enter and awaken to the life offered to you. Walk with him. Participate with him. You can start right now, simply by turning your heart toward God in gratitude—"Thank you for life, Lord Jesus. I walk with you today." That is the prayer for my soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and that's the prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL

What if consciousness isn't passive...but responsive? *SCROLL DOWN FOR SPECIAL OFFERS FROM HEATHER!*In this episode of The Skeptic Metaphysicians, we explore a grounded, modern approach to the Akashic Records, not as a mystical abstraction, but as a living field of consciousness that reflects your patterns, choices, and potential in real time. Our conversation reframes the Akashic Records as a practical tool for intuition development, spiritual awakening, and soul purpose, revealing how energetic patterns influence relationships, money, leadership, and self-trust. Rather than predicting the future, this work focuses on helping you recognize what's running your life right now, and how to participate more consciously in your own spiritual growth. We unpack how intuition actually works, why skepticism can be healthy (and necessary), and how consciousness may behave more like a relational system than a static database. Along the way, we explore topics like non-linear time, manifestation as momentum rather than wishful thinking, and how ancient wisdom is increasingly intersecting with modern science...including research into water's intelligence and the quantum field. This episode is especially for seekers who love modern spirituality but crave clarity, agency, and grounded insight, without bypassing real life. In this episode, we explore:What the Akashic Records really are (beyond the “cosmic library” idea)How intuition development works in everyday, practical termsWhy spiritual awakening isn't about prediction, but participationThe role of consciousness in manifestation and decision-makingHow skepticism can strengthen spiritual growth rather than block itWhy consciousness, energy healing, and even water may be deeply connectedHow to explore spiritual insight without abandoning critical thinkingWhether you're navigating a period of awakening, questioning old belief systems, or simply curious about how consciousness actually operates, this conversation offers a grounded entry point into modern spirituality...with depth, nuance, and zero fluff.Participate in our 2026 Listener Survey:https://www.skepticmetaphysician.com/survey/2026-listener-survey/OFFER #1 - AKASHIC TRAIINING:UNLOCKING ACCESS TO THE AKASHIC RECORDS...

In this episode of The Dish on Health IT, host Tony Schueth, CEO of Point-of-Care Partners (POCP), is joined by colleagues Mary Griskewicz, Regulatory Resource Center Lead, and Janice Reese, Senior Consultant and Program Manager of FHIR at Scale Taskforce (FAST), for a wide-ranging discussion on two major proposed rules released in mid-December 2025: the HTI-5 proposed rule from the Assistant Secretary for Technology Policy (ASTP) and CMS's latest proposal on healthcare price transparency.Rather than treating these rules as abstract policy exercises, the conversation focuses on what the government is trying to accomplish, how these proposals may reshape the interoperability and data access landscape, and why stakeholder participation during the comment period is not optional if the industry wants workable outcomes.Setting the Stage: How Proposed Rules Become RealityThe episode opens with a level set for listeners who do not spend their days in the Federal Register. Mary walks through how proposed rules originate, typically from legislation or executive policy, and how they move from proposal to public comment to either a final rule, an interim final rule, or, in some cases, a complete pause or reset.She emphasizes a point that often gets overlooked: every public comment is read and reviewed. The agencies group and analyze the comments section by section and respond to themes and concerns in the final rule text. Janice builds on this by explaining that the comment period is where high-level policy intent meets operational reality. The most effective comments are not lengthy manifestos, but specific, experience-based feedback that highlights feasibility issues, sequencing challenges, and unintended consequences.HTI-5: From Experimentation to ExecutionThe discussion then turns to HTI-5, with Mary outlining the core problem the rule is trying to address. Prior certification requirements placed a significant burden on vendors, often locking innovation into long development cycles while the market waited for updates. HTI-5 seeks to modernize this approach by reducing prescriptive certification requirements and relying more on modern, open architecture, particularly FHIR-based APIs, to enable faster, more scalable data exchange.Janice frames HTI-5 as a clear signal that the industry is moving out of the experimentation phase and into execution. By reinforcing a “FHIR-first” direction while pulling back on some certification detail, the rule implicitly raises expectations for real-world performance. As FHIR becomes the default, security, identity, consent, and trust cannot be treated as optional or inconsistently implemented components.From a FAST perspective, this shift is critical. HTI-5 creates the regulatory space, but the infrastructure and implementation guidance needed to make trusted interoperability work at scale must come from industry-led collaboration. Janice explains that FAST's work on security, identity, consent, and national directory services is about operationalizing trust so organizations are not reinventing these foundations on their own.Information Blocking, Automation, and Trust at ScaleA pivotal moment in the conversation centers on HTI-5's clarification that information blocking explicitly includes automated and AI-driven access. Mary underscores that automation is now central to how data moves across the healthcare ecosystem. When access decisions are embedded in APIs, workflows, and algorithms, trust becomes the defining requirement.Janice expands on this by noting that the issue is not just whether data can be accessed, but whether access is appropriate, provable, and governed. As automation increases, expectations shift toward accountability, auditability, and consistent enforcement of identity and consent. FHIR APIs, once viewed as certification checkboxes, are becoming the primary channel for data exchange across networks, including consumer-facing applications.Stakeholder Impacts: Vendors, Providers, and PayersThe episode then walks through how HTI-5 affects different stakeholder groups. For health IT vendors and digital health companies, Janice describes a trade-off: fewer certification guardrails provide flexibility but also remove a layer of protection. Vendors will be judged less on formal compliance artifacts and more on how their systems perform across networks at scale, including security, identity management, and reliability.Mary cautions that vendors should not interpret HTI-5 as traditional deregulation. With HTI-6 already on the horizon, organizations that underinvest now risk facing more stringent outcome-based expectations later. Tony reinforces this point, arguing that the real risk is collective. A single high-profile failure due to weak security or identity practices could undermine trust across the ecosystem and invite a regulatory response that affects everyone.For providers and health systems, the shift means becoming more informed consumers of technology. Certification alone will no longer guarantee interoperability or trustworthiness. Providers will increasingly need to ask vendors how solutions perform in environments beyond a single one and how identity, consent, and security are handled across organizational boundaries.From a payer perspective, Mary explains that while HTI-5 does not directly change prior authorization requirements, it fundamentally reshapes the data access environment. As FHIR APIs become the default, plans will be expected to exchange data more dynamically and through automated workflows. This raises expectations around timeliness, quality, and trust, and accelerates a shift from managing transactions to managing trust at scale.Price Transparency: Compliance Without ClarityThe conversation then transitions to CMS's proposed price transparency rule, with Tony noting the absence of POCP's usual price transparency expert and setting expectations for a higher-level discussion. Mary explains that this tri-agency proposal builds on earlier rules by clarifying standards, easing some reporting burdens, and refining requirements around machine-readable files, metadata, and reporting timelines.While these changes offer some relief to plans, Janice highlights a deeper challenge. Making pricing data available does not make it meaningful. Without consistent ways to connect clinical concepts to billing codes and pricing structures, patients and employers are left with technically accurate but practically unusable information. True transparency will require better integration of pricing data into real-time workflows, supported by APIs, governance, and trust frameworks.Mary also reminds listeners that employers are a critical stakeholder often overlooked in these discussions. As purchasers of coverage, they rely on usable pricing data to understand utilization and manage costs, making their perspective essential during the comment period.The Closing Message: Comment, Participate, Get InvolvedThe episode closes with a strong call to action. Mary urges listeners to “get off the bench” and engage, regardless of which rule is at issue. Comment periods directly affect compliance programs, product roadmaps, and competitive positioning. Janice reinforces that policy alone cannot solve interoperability challenges. Progress depends on shared implementation guidance, testing, governance, and sustained participation in standards organizations and multi-stakeholder initiatives, including FAST.The final takeaway is clear: HTI-5 and the price transparency proposal are not just regulatory events. They are inflection points. Organizations that participate now can help shape outcomes that are achievable, scalable, and trusted. Those that sit out will be left reacting to decisions made without their operational realities at the table.Listeners are reminded that both proposed rules have comment deadlines in late February, and that POCP is available to support organizations in understanding the implications and crafting effective comments. The episode closes, as always, with the reminder that Health IT is a dish best served hot. 

This week, bring your finest gin (Andrew's is indigo!) to a party at the Muggle orphanage where Mrs. Cole is meets Dumbledore, as our Chapter-by-Chapter series continues discussing Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. Our Chapter 13 discussion of "The Secret Riddle" is thought-provoking and focused largely on Dumbledore's actions and his intentions, based on what he might have known about things way back in the early 1940's. News: We discuss two new castings for the recent Prisoner of Azkaban full cast audiobook release. Stay tuned for a review of these new audiobooks! Chapter-by-Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince, Chapter 13: The Secret Riddle Is Harry treating Dumbledore differently at the start of the chapter than Young Tom Riddle treats him during the memory? What changes in Dumbledore's response to Harry if he already knows what Harry is saying about Draco is true? The Pensieve memory with Burke might seem different - but we've actually seen something like it before! A listener email asks, could Dumbledore have sent Mundungus to raid Grimmauld Place for Aberforth? How is what Dumbledore does to Mrs. Cole different than what Young Tom does to his fellow orphans? What made Merope still honor her father when naming Tom? We discuss Tom Riddle's mental state and one possibly identifiable diagnosis for his behavior. How come Harry didn't turn out like Tom Riddle given their similar trajectories? Was Dumbledore intentionally trying to impress Tom by making fire? Is he therefore playing with fire? Our MVP segment asks what the creepiest thing Young Tom Riddle does in this chapter? Our Lynx Line topic this week for Slug Club patrons: Which character would you most like to Confund and get to spill all the tea?

Tim Shurr is a world-renowned Peak Performance Mind Architect for millionaires, business owners, and high-achieving professionals. Tim quickly releases people from mental blocks while rapidly accelerating what he calls 'Peaceful Success' using subconscious reprogramming strategies developed over 36 years of research. His One Belief Away method is changing the game when it comes to freeing people from anxiety and attaining goals faster. He says you are just one belief away from your next big breakthrough. In this episode, Tim explains how childhood-formed limiting beliefs drive habits, emotions, and self-sabotage, and outlines a streamlined process: trace uncomfortable feelings to their root, provide missing inner resources, upgrade the core belief, and release trapped emotions like shame or anger. Using a client example of overcoming perfectionism, they discuss separating self-worth from achievements or body image, fostering self-compassion, and viewing life's challenges as game-like opportunities—where upgrading just one belief unlocks the next breakthrough.

Wisdom, Perspective and Hope on the Border: A Wisdom Conversation with Gil Gillenwater Welcome back to The Main Thing Podcast. We recently engaged in a meaningful and transformative conversation with Gil Gillenwater, a trailblazing humanitarian leader. Gil has devoted his life to serving people in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. This conversation offers listeners a deeper, more grounded understanding of the southern border, beyond headlines, politics, and talking points. Let's be clear from the outset: if you think this episode is about free handouts or opening up our borders to everyone, you are sorely mistaken. Your eyes will be dramatically opened when you listen to Gil's wisdom. What unfolds is a focused, human conversation about dignity, responsibility, faith, and hope—shared by someone who has lived and worked in the borderlands for decades. Podcast Resources & Links Rancho Feliz Charitable Foundation (Gil's nonprofit): https://ranchofeliz.com/   Gil Gillenwater's book — "Hope on the Border" https://a.co/d/ciQvuDI  (From Amazon)   Videos about Rancho Feliz https://youtube.com/@ranchofeliz?si=JctJeBTZSm2M2ycT   Gil and Troy's Epic 1982 Journey - The Arizona Trail https://www.arizonahighways.com/archive/issues/chapter/Doc.1506.Chapter.7   A Focused Wisdom Conversation This episode invites listeners to elevate their perspective on one of the most complex and misunderstood issues in American life by hearing directly from someone with lived experience on the border. Gil shares what decades of service have taught him about humility, human dignity, leadership, and faith—offering insight that replaces assumption with understanding and reaction with clarity.   What You'll Learn in This Episode How lived experience reshapes our understanding of the U.S.–Mexico border Why responsibility and dignity matter as much as compassion What long-term service teaches us about leadership and humility How faith can inform action without relying on easy answers   More About Our Wise Guest Gil Gillenwater is the founder and president of the Rancho Feliz Charitable Foundation, an award-winning nonprofit dedicated to long-term, dignity-centered service in the U.S.–Mexico borderlands. His work has been recognized with Arizona's highest honor for volunteerism, as well as formal recognition from Mexican authorities. Gil is also the author of Hope on the Border, a deeply human account of life and service in the borderlands, highlighting both hard realities and quiet acts of redemption.   Why This Episode Matters Few topics generate more emotion—and less understanding—than America's southern border. This episode is for anyone willing to have assumptions challenged and perspective expanded.   Credits Editor + Technical Advisor Bob Hotchkiss Brand + Strategy Advisor Andy Malinoski PR + Partnerships Advisor Rachel Bell Marketing, Social Media and Graphic Design Chloe Lineberg   Stay Connected with Us on Social YouTube @themainthingpod Instagram @themainthingpod Facebook  @TheMainThingPod LinkedIn   Help Support and Sustain This Podcast Become a subscriber.

They share insights into their remodeling business, discuss the emotional journey of home renovations, and highlight their deep ties to the Grayslake community. The conversation is filled with personal stories, local event shout-outs, and lighthearted moments, showcasing the warmth and neighborly spirit that defines Grayslake. Listeners are encouraged to support local businesses, connect with Affordable Interiors, and spread kindness throughout the community.   Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Remodeling, Community, and Connection with Affordable Interiors Grayslake, Illinois, is more than just a dot on the map—it's a vibrant community where local businesses, families, and leaders come together to create a hometown feel that's hard to find elsewhere. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, host David Wolf sat down with Nick and Katelyn from Affordable Interiors, a beloved local business specializing in kitchen, bath, and home remodeling. Their conversation offers a treasure trove of insights for anyone considering a home renovation, as well as a heartfelt look at what makes Grayslake such a special place to live and work. Whether you're a homeowner thinking about a remodel, a business owner looking to deepen your community ties, or simply a Grayslake resident who loves supporting local, this episode is packed with actionable advice, expert perspectives, and a genuine sense of hometown pride. Table of Contents The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Managing Timelines and Expectations Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Actionable Tips for Homeowners Supporting Local: Why It Matters Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community 1. The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Nick and Katelyn demystify the remodeling process, emphasizing that a successful project is built on clear communication, careful planning, and a personalized approach. Step-by-Step Breakdown: Initial Consultation:**     The journey begins with a phone call to discuss your goals, needs, and vision. Don't worry about the current state of your home—Affordable Interiors prides itself on a judgment-free approach. In-Home Measurement:**     A team member visits your home to take precise measurements and assess the project's scope. This ensures that every detail is tailored to your space. Showroom Appointment:**     Clients are invited to the downtown Grayslake showroom to explore materials, finishes, and design options. This hands-on experience helps you visualize the possibilities and make informed choices. Detailed Estimate:**     After the initial meetings, you'll receive a comprehensive estimate that reflects your unique project, including materials, labor, and timelines. Permits and Inspections:**     Affordable Interiors handles all necessary permits and inspections, streamlining the process and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Project Execution:**     The team coordinates demo, prep work, and installation, keeping you informed at every stage. Expert Insight:   Nick highlights the importance of flexibility and transparency, noting that every project is unique and may require adjustments along the way. Their process is designed to minimize stress and maximize satisfaction. 2. Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Remodeling isn't just about following the latest trends—it's about creating a space that reflects your personality, lifestyle, and long-term needs. Key Principles: Timeless Over Trendy:**     While blue cabinets and bold islands have had their moment, Nick and Katelyn encourage clients to choose designs that will stand the test of time. Your home should feel like your home, not a showroom. Aging in Place:**     Many clients remodel with the intention of staying in their homes for years to come. Katelyn emphasizes the importance of functional layouts, accessible features, and durable materials that support aging in place. Client-Centered Approach:**     The design process is collaborative. Katelyn works closely with clients to understand their routines, preferences, and future plans, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and practical. Actionable Advice: Bring inspiration photos, but be open to professional guidance. Think about how you use your space daily—storage, lighting, and flow matter as much as aesthetics. Don't be afraid to express your personality through color, texture, and unique features. 3. Managing Timelines and Expectations One of the most common questions Nick and Katelyn hear is, "How soon can you start?" The answer depends on several factors, and setting realistic expectations is crucial for a smooth experience. Timeline Factors: Cabinet Lead Times:**     Some cabinet lines arrive in 2-3 weeks, while others may take up to 3 months. The team schedules demo and prep work accordingly to avoid unnecessary downtime. Permits and Inspections:**     Kitchens and bathrooms often require permits and inspections, which can add 4-6 weeks to the timeline. Scope of Work:**     Larger projects or those involving structural changes will naturally take longer. Pro Tips: Start planning early, especially if you have a specific deadline (e.g., holidays, family events). Communicate openly about your priorities and constraints. Trust the process—rushing can lead to mistakes or missed details. 4. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Remodeling is as much an emotional journey as it is a logistical one. Katelyn and Nick are keenly aware of the vulnerability clients feel when their homes are in transition. Common Emotions: Anxiety:**     Seeing your kitchen or bathroom gutted can be unsettling, even if you know it's temporary. Excitement:**     Watching the transformation unfold—tile, flooring, cabinets—brings anticipation and joy. Relief and Pride:**     The final reveal is often met with relief, pride, and a renewed love for your home. How Affordable Interiors Supports Clients: Clear Communication:**     The team explains each step, so clients know what to expect and when. Empathy:**     They encourage clients to give themselves grace and not feel embarrassed about the "before" state of their home. Celebrating Progress:**     Milestones are acknowledged, and clients are kept in the loop, making the journey more enjoyable. 5. Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Affordable Interiors isn't just a business—it's a neighbor. Nick and Katelyn live in Grayslake, their showroom is housed in a historic building, and they're active members of the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce. Community Involvement: Local Events:**     From the Festival of Lights parade to the Saint Patrick's Day parade, Nick and Katelyn love participating in community celebrations. Charity and Support:**     They regularly donate to local causes, such as the bachelorette auction benefiting a family in need. Showroom Dog, Cooper:**     Their trilingual cocker spaniel, Cooper, is a local celebrity and adds a welcoming touch to the showroom. Why It Matters: Local businesses reinvest in the community, creating jobs and supporting local causes. Familiar faces and personal relationships foster trust and accountability. Community pride is contagious—when businesses thrive, so does the town. 6. Actionable Tips for Homeowners Thinking about starting your own remodeling project? Here's what Nick and Katelyn recommend: Don't Wait for "Perfect" Conditions:**     Many clients put off remodeling because they're embarrassed by their home's current state. The team at Affordable Interiors has seen it all—no judgment, just solutions. Start with a Conversation:**     A simple phone call can clarify your options and set the process in motion. Be Honest About Your Needs:**     Whether you're planning to age in place, need more storage, or want a fresh look, share your goals openly. Plan for the Unexpected:**     Remodeling can uncover surprises (old wiring, plumbing issues). Build a little flexibility into your budget and timeline. Stay Engaged:**     Visit the showroom, ask questions, and stay involved in decisions. Your input is invaluable. 7. Supporting Local: Why It Matters The episode underscores the importance of supporting local businesses—not just for economic reasons, but for the sense of connection and pride it brings. How to Support Local: Shop and Hire Locally:**     Choose local businesses for your needs, from remodeling to dining and beyond. Spread the Word:**     Share positive experiences with friends, family, and on social media. Participate in Community Events:**     Attend parades, markets, and fundraisers to strengthen community bonds. Practice Kindness:**     As the podcast host suggests, perform random acts of kindness—smile, hold a door, thank a service worker. Small gestures make a big difference. 8. Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community The story of Affordable Interiors is a testament to what makes Grayslake special: hard work, personal relationships, and a deep commitment to community. Nick and Katelyn's expertise, empathy, and local pride

Send Catherine a text Message"Participate joyfully in the sorrows of the world. We cannot cure the world of sorrows, but we can choose to live in joy. The warrior's approach is to say 'yes' to life: 'yea' to it all."-- Joseph CampbellHow do you stay engaged with the creative potential of this time? How can you participate to bring something positive, necessary, unprecedented, into our constantly evolving world?These questions are in the forefront of my mind. I'm intrigued by Campbell's emphasis on joy, and the suggestion that joy is part of the "warrior's approach." But I wonder what being a "warrior" might look like and if it's a useful image/role for me. I brought these questions to a Buddhist teaching story called "The Tigress Jataka" and share the story and my reflections in this episode.Thanks for listening and keep the mystery in your life alive...Support the showEmail Catherine at drcsvehla@mythicmojo.comPost a positive review on apple podcasts!

Happy 2026! No trio member is safe, as Chapter by Chapter covers Chapter 11 of Half-Blood Prince, “Hermione's Helping Hand.” Does Hermione do the wrong thing for the right reasons? Should Harry do the right thing and expose her actions or, even worse, not choose Ron for the Gryffindor Quidditch team? And, separately, is Hagrid letting his brother join classes? All that and more on this latest episode of MuggleCast. What did the hosts get from Santa this year? And is Andrew about to reveal more than ever before? Chapter by Chapter continues with Half-Blood Prince Chapter 11, “Hermione's Helping Hand.” Nonverbal spells are now standard in several classes, but does the trio ever learn them? Should teachers be required to eat meals in the Great Hall? Some appear to be skipping out. A comment from Hermione makes Harry warm, and may ignite some fires in the shipping community. Do we pity Ron for his need to show off and overcompensate? What Hermione does at Quidditch practice is highly risky. Why does she take the chance when she could be exposed? Should Harry have made another decision once he discovers Hermione's actions? Despite his friendship with Ron? An email asks: should Hermione have kept Care of Magical Creatures given her established future career trajectory? It turns out Hagrid is dealing with more than just the kids not taking his class. Should the kids have to lie about another teacher just to make Hagrid feel better about himself? Our MVP segment has us ranking the beasts that Hagrid introduced the trio to.
