Kick off your new year with a refreshing and hope-filled conversation about the pressure to set body-related goals and the journey toward real freedom. Hosts Heather Creekmore and Amy Carlson dig deep into why so many women set weight loss as their top resolution and how our culture’s diet obsessions impact families, friendships, and faith communities. You’ll hear honest stories, including “are we getting left behind?” anxiety, the latest health fads (GLP1s and fiber, anyone?), and powerful encouragement to seek God’s “how much more” rather than settle for the world’s lesser goals. Whether you’re a goal-setter, a recovering dieter, or someone wondering what you might be missing by chasing smaller jeans instead of a fuller life—this episode will inspire you to open your hands, journal, and pursue the abundance only God can give. **Get your FREE Obsessed-to-Blessed Mini course here. Journal Prompts from Today’s Episode What am I going to miss if I invest my time and energy into weight loss this year?(Reflect on what parts of your life could suffer or what experiences you might lose out on.) What parts of my life feel stunted or neglected because of my focus on body goals?(Take inventory of relationships, passions, or spiritual growth you could nurture instead.) What is my mind telling me ‘my life will begin when…’?(Finish this sentence honestly and challenge what you believe about starting to live.) What am I not asking God for that would truly bring “how much more” into my life?(Go before God with open hands – ask Him what He wants for you in 2026.) Who else is impacted by my health and eating practices?(Consider your kids, spouse, friends, or community and how your choices ripple out.) How does seeking smaller goals (like a certain weight or restriction) limit the breadth of my ‘garden’—my life?(Picture your life as a garden and consider what fruit you aren’t tending to.) “My life will start when…” versus “How much more does God have for me?”(Contrast your answer to these two prompts and pray for wisdom to pursue God’s best.) Bonus: Community Conversation StarterIf something in this episode resonated with you or led to a new insight or goal, Amy encourages listeners to share their goal or what God is inviting them into for 2026. Imagine how uplifting it would be to see what God’s abundance is unfolding in lives beyond just body-centered achievements! EncouragementYou’re not behind, and you don’t have to settle for less. Hear stories, biblical truths, and real talk that help you stop comparing and start living with open hands, trust, and greater faith. Need more support?

Picture this: You're a kid, and your folks are telling you not to do something, because they know it could be harmful.  You have a hard time believing it's anything bad, so you go ahead and do it anyway.  When trouble comes knocking at your door, your parents step in and assist.  They tried to warn you, but left you to make that decision.  Today, Pastor Richard shares that in life, God warns, disciplines, but He's there to help you through it.

"Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom," Psalm 90:12 As we stand at the brink of a new year, consider the illuminating image of a countdown candle. Each day we have is like a segment of that candle, slowly melting away yet brightening the path ahead. As you reflect on who you want to become by 2026, let that visual motivate you to embrace each day with intention.  Picture yourself a year from now, a beacon of light shining through the darkness, one who keeps promises made to oneself — a testimony to your commitment to personal growth and service. With every passing day in 2026, the words "integrity," "compassion," and "determination" could echo in the hearts of those around you. Remember Psalm 90:12: "Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom." Each moment is a golden opportunity to shine brighter. James 4: 14 says, "Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes." Think of Moses, who, from atop Mount Nebo, gazed at the Promised Land — a vision that fueled his mission. Like him, you can envision the life you yearn for, even if it's not fully realized yet. Visualizing your future can turn the flicker of hope into a steady flame, igniting purpose in your daily actions. As C.T. Studd wisely reminds us, “Only one life, 'twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last.”  Consider how you want others to describe you. “They became someone who inspires” — let that resonate within you. With each passing day in 2026, may your actions mirror the love and grace you wish to share. Remember, "Heaven holds our passport. So, we travel earth with intention, each step must be a stamp of hope.". Philippians 3:20 says, "But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ." Prayer for the Day! Dear Lord, thank you for guiding us as we strive to ignite purpose in every moment. Brethren, I pray that the Holy Spirit help you to reflect God's light in all that you do in the year 2026. May His presence steady your steps, His wisdom orders your priorities, and His compassion fill your words and actions. May the fruit of the Spirit — love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control — abound in you daily. When challenges arise, may you stand firm in faith, clothed in the armor of God, and anchored in His promises. May your homes be havens of prayer, your work an offering of worship, and your relationships vessels of grace and truth. In Jesus name. Amen.

Picture three futures: one where you're heavier and exhausted, one where you're stuck in the same loop, and one where you feel strong, clear, and connected to God. We walk you to that third path with a plan that ditches shame, respects your biology, and leans into identity and community so your goals finally stick.We start by naming the trap: resolutions fueled by guilt and raw willpower burn out fast, especially under stress and hormonal swings. Then we reframe health as worship, grounding change in Romans 8:1 and John 15:5. You'll learn why self-talk matters, how to write a vision that aligns with who you are in Christ, and how to future-gaze with God so daily choices match the woman you're becoming. We lay out a clear blueprint: track your cycle, plan around energy and cravings, prioritize protein and healthy fats, and use strategic fasting with circadian rhythms to restore energy. No more grind culture. Consistency and tiny wins beat intensity every time.We also go practical on hormones and labs. From perimenopause to unexpected dips in testosterone, we share real stories, the role of simple testing, and how changing delivery methods can revive mood, focus, and drive. We talk sabotage—overreaching, isolation, Monday-only motivation—and show how sisterhood, accountability, and a deeper why protect your progress. By the end, you'll have a Christ-centered framework, actionable steps, and the confidence to choose habits that feel doable, joyful, and sustainable.Ready to step into the version of you God designed?

This episode goes straight to the jugular of modern air power and asks a brutally simple question: has the last great manned fighter already been born?Roland is joined by Tom Withington of Royal United Services Institute and Sophy Antrobus from King's College London, two people who actually know what they're talking about when it comes to fighter jets. They unpack the mystery and the hype surrounding the sixth generation fighters. These are not just faster jets with shinier wings. They are flying data centres, designed to hoover up information, evade the most lethal air defences on the planet, and command swarms of drones doing the truly dangerous work.We cut through the fog of acronyms to explain what sixth generation really means, how it differs from the F-35, and why programmes in the US, Britain, Europe and Asia are racing ahead despite eye watering costs. This is air dominance, power politics and future war rolled into one.

Galatians 5:22-23 Steve Kiesel shares a portrait of Jesus found in scripture based around of the fruit of the spirit.

12/29/25: Gwen Agan: the view from the principal's office and the school committee. Megan Zinn, Lee Thomson & Alice Hough:” Whatcha reading?”—fantasies to consider. Lucia Dostal—an amazing musician—in studio! Thomas Draudt: “Conversations on Main”— Picture Main St.

"Then the Lord replied: “Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald[a] may run with it. For the revelation awaits an appointed time; it speaks of the end and will not prove false. Though it lingers, wait for it; it will certainly come and will not delay." Habakkuk 2:2–3 As you stand on the brink of a new year, imagine the blank canvas of your vision board waiting to be filled with vibrant dreams and divine purpose. Just like an architect meticulously plans a building with blueprints, you are invited to design the life God has placed in your heart. Therefore, let each corner of your vision board be adorned with scripture, reminding you of the promises and possibilities that God has laid out before you. Proverb 29:18 says, "Where there is no revelation, people cast off restraint; but blessed is the one who heeds wisdom's instruction." “See it, say it, pursue it.” This simple yet powerful slogan encourages you to articulate your dreams boldly and back them with faith. Habakkuk 2:2-3 reminds us to write the vision and make it plain, ensuring that we not only dream but actively seek out what God envisions for us. This is your opportunity to display those aspirations, much like the Israelites rebuilt the walls of Jerusalem with Nehemiah's unwavering vision and commitment. Consider the quote from Mark Batterson: “Prayer is the canvas of possibility.” With every prayer you offer, you're not merely speaking words; you are painting your future with colors of hope, diligence, and faith. Ephesians 3:20 beautifully states that God is able to do immeasurably more than we ask or imagine. Let this promise be a foundation for every goal you set, enhancing the richness of your life's masterpiece. Picture your vision board as a deftly drawn map. “The future you sketch is the future that steps out to meet you.” As you visualize your dreams, you pave a pathway for God's plans to unfold. Remember, “What you name and number becomes what you nurture.” So, invest your time and heart into making these dreams a reality — each prayer, each hope, each vision nurtured brings you closer to the destiny God has in store. Ephesians 3:20 says, "Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us." Prayer for the Day! Heavenly Father, thank You for the dreams and visions You have given us. Brethren, I pray for you that with each new image and verse you add to your vision board, may you feel the stirrings of what God has placed within you. May those gentle movements become a holy urgency, guiding your hands, your plans, and your steps. May the Holy Spirit breathe upon every dream so that it is not merely a picture on a wall, but a living promise taking shape in your days. Let each verse be a lamp to your feet and each image a reminder that God finishes what He begins. In Jesus name. Amen

Every step of the cross—from the nails to the final cry was not forced on Jesus but freely embraced out of love for sinners. The crucifixion shows a Savior who satisfied God's justice by choice, opening the way to God because love was willing to pay the full cost.

I never thought I'd be glued to my screen watching the Supreme Court hand President Donald Trump a rare courtroom defeat, but here we are, listeners, on the heels of Christmas 2025. Just days ago, on December 23, the Justices in Washington, D.C., issued a sharp three-page unsigned order in Trump v. Illinois, rejecting the Trump administration's emergency plea to deploy the Illinois National Guard and Texas National Guard troops to Chicago. Picture this: Back on October 4, President Trump federalized 300 Illinois National Guard members to safeguard federal property amid reports of riots—protesters hurling tear gas canisters at officers, yanking off gas masks, even targeting them with bullhorns that could cause permanent hearing loss. The administration argued it was essential under federal law, citing unrefuted declarations of violence that local police in Chicago couldn't handle alone.But a federal judge in Chicago slapped down a temporary restraining order, and the Supreme Court let it stand. Justices Samuel Alito, Clarence Thomas, and Neil Gorsuch dissented fiercely—Alito's opinion called out the lower court for ignoring the facts, questioning why grand jury no-indictments for some rioters weren't enough to discredit the violence claims. Justice Brett Kavanaugh concurred separately, but the majority sided against the administration, marking a loss in the shadow docket frenzy that's defined Trump's second term. According to the Brennan Center's tracker, since January 20, 2025, the Court has ruled on 25 such emergency applications challenging Trump actions—20 at least partially in his favor, but this one, no dice. SCOTUSblog reported it straight: the deployment stays blocked while litigation drags on.This isn't isolated. Oral arguments wrapped up just last month on November 5 in Learning Resources v. Trump, consolidated with Trump v. VOS Selections before the Supreme Court. At stake? Whether the International Emergency Economic Powers Act lets President Trump slap trade tariffs during national emergencies he declares—and if so, does it unconstitutionally hand Congress's power to the executive? Dykema's legal alert calls it the term's biggest case, pitting presidential authority against separation-of-powers limits. Whispers from the bench suggest the Justices are skeptical, probing the delegation doctrine hard.Meanwhile, Trump's legal battles echo from his first term. In New York, Judge Juan Merchan's decision in People v. Donald J. Trump keeps sentencing on ice—pushed from July 2024 past the election to November 26 at Trump's own request, now stayed pending Supreme Court immunity fallout from Trump v. United States. Federal appeals upheld a jury's E. Jean Carroll verdict against him, with no reversal in sight. And the floodgates? Education policies sparked 71 lawsuits in 2025 alone, per Education Week, with Trump losing nearly 70 percent at lower courts. Immigration clashes rage on—from Noem v. Doe revoking parole for half a million from Cuba, Haiti, Nicaragua, and Venezuela, to Alien Enemies Act deportations where the Court sometimes greenlights, sometimes blocks.It's a whirlwind, listeners—tariffs, troops, tariffs again—reminding us the courts are checking power like never before. As 2025 closes, Trump's docket tests every constitutional seam.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

What starts as normal holiday small talk suddenly shifts into something awkward, personal, and impossible to unhear. Boundaries get tested, tension creeps in, and the vibe changes in that split second way only family can pull off. It's uncomfortable, funny in a please make it stop kind of way, and painfully relatable if you've ever survived a holiday where everyone pretends nothing weird just happened.

What were our joyfully cool cosmic things of 2025? To find out, Dr. Charles Liu and co-host Allen Liu welcome three members of The LIUniverse production team: Jon Barnes, our Editor and self-proclaimed “#1 LIUniverse Fan,” Stacey Severn, our Social Media Manager/Community Director, and physics student Eleanor Adams, the show's first intern. Unlike nearly every episode so far, this time, rather than limit ourselves to one joyfully cool cosmic thing, the team is going to each share their individual joyfully cool cosmic things of 2025. Chuck's saving his for later, so instead, we're just going to jump right into everyone's favorite “cosmic thing of the year”, starting with our co-host, Allen Liu. Allen picks the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST). Allen and Chuck, who is also on the Rubin's Science Advisory Committee and has been involved in the development of the Observatory for over a quarter century, discuss how truly amazing the images are in terms of detail and resolution. Allen shares that he's most excited to see images of transients like asteroids and gravitational lensing, since the Rubin will be taking images of the same areas twice with a gap of one week. Chuck talks about the citizen science aspect of the Rubin and encourages each of you in our audience to try and discover something on your own. We hear about some of Allen's published papers, including one on using VR for scientific research. The group talks about VR (including Beat Saber) and Jon shares his experience using VR technology to record his senior project at the Harold Ramis Film School at Second City, and the difficulty he had with the audio. For Eleanor, this year's cool cosmic thing was highly personal: her studies in modern physics this year, learning more than ever about what we don't know, like the gap between classical and quantum physics! As she puts it, “the matter-antimatter asymmetry…broke my mind.” She also shares a little inspiration from Cal Sagan's Cosmos. Stacey's cosmically cool thing of the year is relatively current: Comet C/2025 K1 ATLAS, which recently broke into 3 parts. The team compares this with the breakup of all breakups: Comet Shoemaker-Levy 9, which broke up in 1994 on its way to a collision with Jupiter. Jon's joyfully cool cosmic year end thingamabob is about the new science fiction show Pluribus created by Vince Gilligan (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul), and he's got a question for Chuck. How long would it take a signal like the one in Pluribus to travel from a star 600 light years away, like Betelgeuse or Antares? Without dropping any spoilers, the team ponders why an alien race would have reached out to Earth based on what they might have seen around the time of Charlemagne, and whether being subsumed in a hive mind would be good or bad. This is a bittersweet episode, though, because we officially bid farewell to the show's long time editor, Jon Barnes, who is moving on to a gig as a full-time content creator for a meal prep company that will involve lots of Jon cooking and filming himself while he does. Finally, it's time to wrap up the episode with Chuck's Picture of the Year, which is related to the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, but not in a way you might expect. It's a photo of Vera Rubin when she was 10 years old. As Chuck puts it, “Who would have known that 25 years later, she would change our understanding of the cosmos itself?” Happy New Year from The LIUniverse crew!

In this episode:Welcome back to another episode!Leslie Keener, the mastermind behind the Running Up for Air series, joins us to discuss how her initiative is turning endurance sports into a battleground for air quality awareness. Picture this: runners scaling mountains, huffing and puffing not just from the effort, but also from the smog. It's a wild concept that started when one guy realized he was training for a race in a polluted valley while breathing in what could only be described as a toxic miasma. Talk about a wake-up call!Leslie takes us through the evolution of this project, which has grown from a one-man show to a series of races across multiple states, all aimed at raising funds and awareness for air quality issues. We discuss how air quality is the canary in the coal mine for larger environmental crises, making it a topic that transcends politics and unites people from all walks of life. It's fascinating and a bit terrifying to think that the air we breathe can serve as a harbinger for climate change. But there's hope! Leslie shares success stories of how these races have not only raised funds but also educated participants about the importance of clean air—because let's face it, nobody wants to run in a cloud of smog.Of course, we can't skip our beloved medical mailbag segment, where we tackle the latest in supplement nonsense—this time, a product called Sport Legs. It claims to reduce lactic acid so you can run longer, faster, and without the burn. Sounds like a dream, right? We dig into the science (or lack thereof) behind it, and let's just say, the results might not exactly make you want to whip out your credit card. This episode is a blend of passion, advocacy, and a healthy dose of skepticism, all wrapped up in a conversation that's both enlightening and entertaining. So if you're ready to tackle some serious issues while having a laugh, you're in the right place!Segments:[07:54]- Medical Mailbag: Sportslegs[28:04]- Interview: Leslie KeenerLinks@runningupforair on InstagramLeslie's Website

Take a few minutes to reflect on someone who inspires you, and how you can embody the values you admire in them.You can also listen to this episode in Spanish here: https://tinyurl.com/4rjmambmHow To Do This Practice: Find a quiet moment and settle your body: Sit or stand somewhere you feel safe and comfortable. Take a few slow breaths and let your body soften, releasing the noise of the day. Bring to mind someone who embodies “moral beauty”: Think of a person whose kindness, courage, humility, or integrity has genuinely inspired you. Choose one specific moment when their character moved you. Visualize an act that inspired you: Recall exactly what the person did. Picture the scene, their actions, their choices. Notice why this moment stood out as meaningful or brave or good. Notice how your body responds: As you hold this image, tune into your body: warmth, openness, tenderness, or even tears. Allow yourself to feel the emotional impact of their moral beauty. Reflect on why this matters to you: Ask yourself: What does this moment reveal about the values that matter most to me? What purpose does it awaken? What did this person teach me about how I want to live? Choose one small aligned action for today: Identify one thing you can do—big or small—that expresses the value or purpose this person embodies. Carry that intention with you into the rest of your day.

Hello, hello — and welcome back to Greedy Bitch, the podcast for groomers who are done apologizing for wanting more. I'm your host, River Lee, founder of The Savvy Groomer — and if you're new here, this show is where we talk about the real side of running a grooming business: the money, the mindset, and the messy middle that no one warns you about. And today, whew… we're talking about the holiday emotional hangover — managing people when you're running on empty. December isn't just busy. It's emotionally contagious. Everyone's buzzing, frazzled, sugar-crashing — and you're the one trying to keep it all together. So grab your coffee, or maybe that third peppermint mocha, and let's talk about what happens when your clients' emotions start colliding with your own — and how to calm the storm without losing your mind. Alright, let's just call it what it is — December has big energy. Everyone's rushing, panicking, over-spending, over-promising, and under-resting. And guess who they bring that energy to? You. It's like being the emotional barista for the entire town. They come in steaming, foaming at the top, and expect you to serve them calm in a to-go cup. I call it emotional glitter — because it gets everywhere. You think you've brushed it off, but nope — it's on your schedule, your inbox, your mood, your poor bather who just wanted to eat their sandwich in peace. Picture this: A client bursts through your door — breathless, late, apologizing — “Oh my god, I'm so sorry, traffic was crazy, I had to fight three people at Target for a Squishmallow, the kids are screaming, the tree fell over…” And before you even realize it, you're vibrating at a 9 out of 10 and you haven't even touched a dog yet. That's what I mean when I say December is emotionally contagious. You can pick up someone else's stress faster than dog hair on a clean pair of black leggings. Now here's the first truth I need you to remember:

The end of the trading year can still lead to big market moves, says Kevin Hincks. "Less eyeballs" on the stock market means Wall Street is more susceptible to headlines. On the Fed, Kevin notes Beth Hammack as a potentially hawkish voting member effective January 1, though a neutral to dovish FOMC overall is what he believes keeps the rate cutting cycle intact. He later notes crude oil's rally as more uncertain develops around Venezuelan oil tankers being seized. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

In today's episode, I wanted to try something that, frankly, may not work.  I wanted to try using a basic figure as the "skeleton" and casting details onto the body instead of sculpting them out of epoxy clay or some other substance.  This would allow you do get a figure off the shelf and essentially "plug" it into the molds for the limbs are such and emerge with a "newly clothed" figure.  I don't know if it will work since I'm not sure how well the resin will adhere to the skeleton.   That said, I figured it's worth a try and am making the prototype today from an Iron Man figure and helmet, chest, and pack of the figure I was working on last time.  Next time, I'll see how I can make new molds or adapt the ones I already have. Picture of the prototype so far: https://13thhr.wordpress.com/2025/12/22/the-thirteenth-hour-podcast-541-and-like-a-hood-ornament-86-trying-a-new-technique-by-creating-a-new-rocketeer-figure-part-1/∞∞∞∞∞∞∞Once Upon a Dream, the second Thirteenth Hour soundtrack, is now out in digital form and on CD!   It is out on most major streaming services such as Bandcamp, Spotify, and YouTube Music.  (If you have no preference, I recommend Bandcamp since there is a bonus track there and you will eventually be able to find tapes and special editions of the album there as well.)  The CDs are out now!-Check out the pixelart music videos that are out so far from the album:-->Logan's Sunrise Workout: www.youtube.com/watch?v=K7SM1RgsLiM-->Forward: www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z9VgILr1TDc-->Nightsky Stargazing: www.youtube.com/watch?v=2S0p3jKRTBo-->Aurora's Rainy Day Mix: https://youtu.be/zwqPmypBysk∞∞∞∞∞∞∞∞ Signup for the mailing list for a free special edition podcast, a demo copy of The Thirteenth Hour, and access to retro 80s soundtrack!Like what you see or hear?

What if God's law moved from stone tablets to your heart? We walk through the end of Hebrews chapter 8 and venture into the beginning of chapter 9 to show why Jesus is the better priest who brings a better covenant with better promises—and why that changes everything about how we know God, obey, and worship. We unpack Jeremiah chapter 31's promise of an inner work of the Spirit, explore how the covenant speaks to Israel while blessing the nations, and clarify a key tension: the Mosaic Law is obsolete, yet God's moral will is fulfilled in us through the law of Christ.From there, we step into the tabernacle. Picture the outer court, the holy place, and the Holy of Holies sealed by a veil. Only the high priest entered once a year with blood for the mercy seat. Every detail shouted distance. Then the cross tore the veil. Jesus, our great High Priest, presented His own blood, opened a living way into God's presence, and continues interceding for us. The smoke of incense that once hovered before the curtain now imagery-richly belongs inside, because our Advocate is already there.This conversation connects theology to hope and practice. If the Spirit writes God's ways on our hearts, obedience grows from desire, not fear. If the law of Christ guides us, we live led by the Spirit rather than by ritual. If access is open, we come boldly to the throne of grace. Along the way, we address Israel and The Body of Christ [The Messiah], the promise of future belief, and how Gentiles share in covenant blessings without erasing the text's plain meaning.

Send us a textIn this third annual Christmas tradition, I welcome Eric back to the show for a wide-ranging conversation about books, reading, and the lifelong pursuit of understanding. We talk about his ambitious “great books” journey—now stretching toward what may become a 40-year project—covering everything from Greek tragedies and Plato's dialogues to Confucius, Viktor Frankl, and modern classics.We dig into Eric's disciplined reading habits, his yearly practice of starting January and February by reading the Bible (including his experience with the King James Version this year), and how he structures his reading year to stay motivated without burning out. We also explore big ideas like Plato's theory of forms, the difference between philosophers and sophists, how ancient texts continue to shape modern thinking, and how AI can be used responsibly to deepen understanding—after you've done the hard work of reading.Eric shares the books that stood out most to him this year, including The Picture of Dorian Gray, Man's Search for Meaning, The Analects of Confucius, and The Idea Machine, along with the powerful concept of finding a “single thread” that ties together everything you read. We close with practical, encouraging advice for anyone who wants to read more: start with what you love, and let curiosity do the rest.This is a thoughtful, inspiring conversation for readers, thinkers, and anyone looking to build a richer reading life—perfect for closing out the year and setting the tone for the next one.Click here to see Erik's list of books read in 2025 https://books.booksoftitans.com/2025-reading-list/ Support the showI ♥ my podcast host @Buzzsprout.

Advent: The Beginning of the Good NewsMark 1:1-8 Jon Morales Imagine a candle burning in a dark room, providing both warmth and light. Picture a lantern being held by a traveler who is seeking to find their way amidst the night. Consider the sun, the brightest light we daily behold, replacing the night entirely with its massive rays.But even the sun pales in comparison to the Great Light that has come to overcome the darkness. The fulfilled prophecy in Matthew 4:16a says, "The people who live in darkness have seen a great light." This light is the Messiah, bringing the good news to his beloved people.Join us this Sunday as we continue our Advent series, discovering more about our Great Light.

Picture this… you're in a quiet room. There's no hum, no appliances, no HVAC fans and blowers…. just…. silence. It's almost imperceptible… you've had a long day at work and just want some peace and quiet before the children get home or the spouse get s home and you almost miss it. The refrigerator stops humming. The air conditioner cuts out. Your phone won't connect. You check the breaker panel — everything looks normal. Then you step outside. Your neighbors are standing in their driveways, confused. Cars won't start. The radio is dead. The entire horizon is dark.  And yet, there have been no alerts, No explanation…. There's just… silence. And in that silence, a realization settles in: The grid is down and you know it's not going to be down for minutes or hours… but for good. ---------- Today we're starting with the backbone of modern civilization: the electrical grid.  It's the system that powers everything — water, fuel, food distribution, hospitals, communications, transportation, and the economy itself. And it's also one of the most fragile, aging, and over‑stressed systems in the United States. This episode is about how the grid can fail, why it's more vulnerable than most people realize, and what life looks like when the lights go out and don't come back on. Let's get into it.

Picture the future 100 years from now. What do you imagine? Flying cars? Space colonies? AI talking toasters?But if we can't sustain an endlessly growing economy - even with a transition to green energy - what does a realistic and positive future look like?Alex Leff of the Human Nature Odyssey podcast joins Jason, Rob, and Asher to imagine life in the 22nd century: walking from our family farms into communal villages, living off the land in a low-energy lifestyle, taming our pet donkeys, and resisting our local warlords. It's not the future the movies told us to expect. But it might be a future we enjoy living in.Sources/Links/Notes:Human Nature Odyssey podcast
