February 15, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we study 2 Corinthians chapters 8 and 9, exploring how the apostle Paul shifts from defending his ministry to instructing the church about generous giving. Neal situates these chapters in the broader context of the letter, contrasts the wealthy church at Corinth (Achaia) with the poor but generous Macedonian churches (Philippi, Berea, Thessalonica), and explains the urgent need: support for the impoverished saints in Jerusalem. Topics covered include: the relationship between grace and giving, examples of eager and sacrificial generosity from the Macedonians, the spiritual qualities reinforced by giving (faith, speech, knowledge, earnestness, and love), and the practical call to complete pledged gifts rather than leaving needs unmet. Paul's emphasis that giving should come from the heart — willingly, cheerfully, and sacrificially — is highlighted, along with his insistence on accountability in handling contributions. The episode uses practical illustrations from modern disaster relief and congregational stewardship to show how voluntary, faith-driven giving differs from forced redistribution. The speaker references related texts (Matthew 6; Romans 12; 1 Corinthians 16; Titus 3) and points to the ministry roles of Titus and a well-known brother who accompanied Paul to ensure transparency and trust in the offering. Listeners are invited to examine their own hearts toward giving and to grow in the grace that produces generous, joyful stewardship. Duration 44:26
February 15, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon In this episode we open to Deuteronomy chapter 4 and hear a sermon exploring Moses as the Bible-class teacher to Israel. The speaker grounds the message in Moses' final charge (Deut. 4:1–9) and connects it to the importance of Bible teaching today, illustrating how Scripture preserves, equips, and protects God's people. We also pause to share a prayer request for Georgia Hudson and celebrate a Teacher's Appreciation Banquet featuring guest speaker Bud Woodall, who directed listeners to Jesus' example in Mark 10:13–16. Key themes covered include: the eternal value of what teachers teach (preservation, possession, protection), the transferability of truth from one generation to the next (Moses' charge to teach children and grandchildren, Paul's instruction to Timothy), and the tangibility of sound teaching (do not add to or take away God's Word; be active, balanced, and watchful in applying Scripture). Practical measures for spiritual growth are discussed — time spent studying, applying the Word, and sharing it with others. The episode mixes theology with practical encouragement and vivid illustrations — from the Jericho lesson and a gingerbread wall anecdote to sobering research from George Barna on biblical literacy — to show why Bible classrooms matter. Listeners will hear a call to renewed enthusiasm for teaching and learning, guidance for making lessons come alive, and an appeal for legacy-minded discipleship: teach faithfully so others can teach as well. Finally, the speaker issues a clear invitation: anyone needing to respond to the gospel — to believe, repent, confess, and be baptized — or to return to fellowship and prayer is invited to respond now. Expect encouragement for teachers, challenges for students, practical application points, and heartfelt pastoral care in this episode. Handout: I.

Praise for the Infrastructure Commission's 30 year plan. It lays out 16 recommendations for the next three decades, including prioritising hospital investment and better managing assets through maintenance. Civil Contractors New Zealand says the plan recognises the role that infrastructure plays in people's quality of life. Chief Executive Allan Pollard told Ryan Bridge it's a good, open, honest assessment of the challenges faced in New Zealand's infrastructure programme. He says it reflects a lot of the things they've been advocating for – including the need for a clear, consistent pipeline of work, rebuilding capacity and capability, and a long-term vision.

Have you ever been on silent retreat and emerged seeing the world in a different way? What does it mean to step into the mystery of life, to stand on the edge of what is known and trust that all is unfolding in perfect divine right timing? Within the creative process, there is a space which holds the mystery of how things will unfold. We can connect with our deepest innermost selves in silence. This week we listen to the unknown for the still small voice within to reveal the next right and perfect next move for ourselves, for how we interact with others, and for the world. We delve into universal subjective consciousness and see what lessons we have to learn.
In this episode of Purposely, I'm joined by Craig Pollard, Founder and CEO of Fundraising Radicals, to talk about what it really takes to build high value funding partnerships that actually last.Craig brings three decades of experience working alongside civil society organisations and funders in more than 100 countries. He's seen what works, what fails, and where organisations quietly undermine themselves in the pursuit of money.We talk about why high value fundraising is not about slick pitches or chasing the next grant round. It's deliberate. It's strategic. And it starts with being clear about your purpose and the role you want to play in the wider ecosystem.Craig shares his thinking on trust, alignment, and why the best partnerships are built on shared values rather than financial need. We explore what it means to design for long term value instead of short term wins, and why uncomfortable conversations are often part of building something stronger.There's also a challenge here for leaders and trustees. Are you clear on what “enough” looks like? Are you building partnerships, or just securing income?If you care about moving beyond transactional fundraising and building relationships that genuinely resource impact, this conversation will give you plenty to think about.

Jane Armstrong Tucker was a Boston stenographer scrabbling to get by as a single woman in the Gilded Age, until she was offered a once-in-a-lifetime chance. Madeleine Pollard was a Kentuckian with humble roots who had used charisma to work her way into the parlors of the Washington, DC, elite. Tucker hid behind an alias―Agnes Parker―but Pollard had a secret, too. Alias Agnes: The Notorious Tale of a Gilded Age Spy (UP of Kentucky, 2025) details the story of Jane Tucker, who took a job as an undercover detective with a ten-week mission. Her target: Madeleine Pollard, former mistress of Congressman William C. P. Breckinridge, whom she had sued for breach of promise when he failed to marry her. Exploring the intricacies of this trial and a scandal that captivated the nation, author Elizabeth A. DeWolfe demonstrates that a shared lack of power did not always lead to alliances among women. DeWolfe uncovers the strategies women used to make their way in the world, drawing parallels between the previously forgotten and incomplete tales of Tucker, Pollard, and the women who testified in the trial―from formerly enslaved persons, to white socialites, to single government clerks, to divorced physicians.Written in engaging prose with all the intrigue and suspense of a detective tale, Alias Agnes chronicles the lives of women at the cusp of the twentieth century―the opportunities that beckoned them and the challenges that thwarted their dreams.

February 8, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode weaves together worship, Scripture, and practical counsel as the speaker moves from congregational singing to a focused lesson on escaping the traps of sin. The episode opens with a celebration of singing after deliverance — referencing Moses and Miriam at the Red Sea and noting early Christian practice (Ephesians 5:19, Colossians 3:16). Using the modern metaphor of escape rooms, Neal frames sin as a spiritual trap: universal, persistent, and learned. Citing Psalms, Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Romans 3:23, he emphasizes that everyone stumbles and that ongoing struggle with sin is normal. The poem “Autobiography in Five Short Chapters” by Portia Nelson is used to illustrate stages of change and the hope of walking a different street. The core of the message draws from 1 Corinthians chapters 8–10, where Paul warns the Corinthian church about idolatry, immorality, and testing God. The speaker extracts four practical steps from Paul for breaking free: 1) avoid negative influences that lead to idolatry or immorality; 2) cultivate contentment and gratitude rather than grumbling (Philippians 4:11); 3) be honest about your vulnerability and avoid overconfidence; and 4) do not love anything or anyone more than God. Biblical examples (the Israelites' failures, Exodus 32, Numbers 25) and cultural warnings (the influence of permissive philosophies) illustrate why these steps matter. Practical next steps and pastoral counsel are offered: confess sin (1 John 1:9), seek accountability and help from others (James 5:16), and rely on God's faithfulness and the promise of a way of escape (1 Corinthians 10:13). The speaker stresses that asking for help is not weakness but humility and courage, and he encourages listeners who are spiritually lost or struggling to respond to the gospel or request further study and support. The episode closes with an appeal to stand and sing in response and a reminder that, even if you feel overwhelmed, God provides a path out — whether through private repentance, communal accountability, or the saving work of Christ. Expect Scripture-rich teaching, practical application, pastoral compassion, and invitations to worship and prayer. Handout: FINDING YOUR ESCAPE ROUTE (1 Corinthians 10) Neal Pollard Introduction A.

February 8, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we work through 2 Corinthians chapter 7 and preview the giving passages coming in chapters 8–9. Neal walks the class through Paul's pastoral heart for the Corinthian church, his defense of ministry, and the way corrective rebuke (Paul's earlier letter) produced godly sorrow that led to repentance. Listeners will hear how Titus's encouraging report confirmed real change in Corinth and refreshed Paul and his coworkers. Topics covered include the distinction between godly sorrow and worldly sorrow, the spiritual blessings that Christians supply to one another (comfort, accountability, confidence, affection, joy, and mutual repentance), and how healthy church relationships reflect heaven's priorities. The talk draws connections to Old and New Testament examples (Melchizedek and Abraham's tithe, Barnabas in Acts, the widow's offering Jesus noticed, Malachi's challenge) to show how God works through people and how gratitude should flow into sharing and generosity. Practical application is emphasized: what true repentance looks like in community, why accountability and encouragement matter, and how faithful, sacrificial giving flows from trust in God rather than mere obligation. The speaker also touches on congregational vision and the role of elders in motivating outward-focused ministry and stewardship. Key takeaways for listeners: the church family is a primary channel of God's comfort and correction; genuine sorrow produces lasting change; and generous giving is a spiritual response that demonstrates trust in God.

Kentucky Chronicles: A Podcast of the Kentucky Historical Society
Back on Season 1 of Kentucky Chronicles, we were joined by Elizabeth De Wolfe, who discussed her research on Madeleine Pollard. Pollard rose to national prominence in 1894 when she sued Kentucky Congressman William C.P. Breckinridge for breach of promise. During the trial in Washington, DC, Breckinridge's legal team hired an undercover detective named Jane Tucker to spy on Pollard. Join us today for another discussion with Professor DeWolfe, who has written a book on Pollard, Tucker, and the world of female detective culture in the late nineteenth century. Dr. Elizabeth De Wolfe is Professor of History and co-founder of the Women's and Gender Studies Program at the University of New England in Biddeford, Maine. She holds a PhD in American and New England Studies from Boston University. Dr. DeWolfe recovers the stories of ordinary women who find themselves in extraordinary circumstances. Her first work, Shaking the Faith, looked at the anti-Shaker campaign of former Shaker Mary Marshall Dyer and was researched, in part, in Kentucky. Her award-winning book The Murder of Mary Bean and Other Stories documented the short life and sad death of a New England textile mill operative. And her recent book, Alias Agnes: The Notorious Tale of a Gilded Age Spy, returned DeWolfe to Kentucky to research the life of Madeleine Pollard, mistress of Congressman WCP Breckinridge, and her encounter with a stenographer turned Gilded Age Spy. Hosted by Dr. Allen A. Fletcher, associate editor of The Register of the Kentucky Historical Society and coordinator of our Research Fellows program, which brings in researchers from across the world to conduct research in the rich archival holdings of the Kentucky Historical Society. https://history.ky.gov/khs-for-me/for-researchers/research-fellowships Kentucky Chronicles is presented by the Kentucky Historical Society, with support from the Kentucky Historical Society Foundation. https://history.ky.gov/about/khs-foundation This episode was recorded and produced by Gregory Hardison, with support and guidance from Dr. Stephanie Lang.

January 18, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode is a classroom-style study of 2 Corinthians chapter 5, part of an ongoing series under the theme “Christianity is personal.” Neal walks listeners through verses 11–21, unpacking Paul's defense of ministry and the biblical motivations that move Christians to share the gospel. The session includes live interaction with congregants and a short testimony from Clay, a recent convert, illustrating the real-life impact of hospitality and witness. Topics covered include: persuasion as the central task of evangelism; six motivators that drive gospel witness (the terror of the Lord, personal integrity, the love of Christ, the transforming power of reconciliation, the ambassadorial responsibility to plead for others, and the gift of righteousness in Christ); and the ministry threads connecting chapters 3–5 (new covenant, Spirit, righteousness, and reconciliation). Neal highlights four groups named in the passage — “we” (Paul and co-workers), “you” (the faithful in the church), “those” (the critics/false teachers), and “they/all” (the lost world) — and explains how the passage applies to each. Practical advice emphasizes building rapport, patient teaching (not starting with condemnation), defending gospel integrity through godly character, and allowing Christ's love to compel us to speak. Key takeaways and action points: persuasion is meant to be a way of life, not merely a program; believers are entrusted with the ministry of reconciliation and act as God's ambassadors; we should pray intentionally (the speaker challenges listeners to write three names and pray for opportunities to share the gospel); and the hope of righteousness in Christ should motivate compassionate, courageous evangelism. Listeners can expect careful exegesis, pastoral application, practical evangelism tips, and encouragement for personal growth in witness. No outside guest speakers are featured beyond congregational interactions and Clay's testimony; the episode primarily centers on Scripture-driven teaching and concrete next steps for the local church.

February 1, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this class-style episode we work through 2 Corinthians chapters 6 and 7. Neal leads an interactive Bible study with contributions from class members tracing Paul's transition from defending his ministry to calling the Corinthians to holy living. The session reviews the background: Paul's fruitful 18 months in Corinth, the rise of unnamed critics or “false apostles,” and why this second letter was necessary. The discussion highlights Paul's central appeal—echoing Isaiah—that now is the acceptable time and the day of salvation and urges listeners not to “receive the grace of God in vain.” The teacher unpacks what that can look like today: wrong motivation in coming to Christ, failing to persevere, a lack of life-change, or turning to a false gospel. Practical Scripture connections (1 Corinthians 15, Hebrews, Galatians, Isaiah 49) are made to show the urgency and value of genuine conversion and perseverance. From 2 Corinthians 6:3–13 the class examines how Paul commends his ministry: lists of difficulties endured (endurance, afflictions, beatings, imprisonments, sleeplessness, hunger), spiritual attributes displayed (purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, the Holy Spirit, genuine love, truth, the power of God), and the contrasting situations that prove faithful service (glory and dishonor, good report and evil report, dying yet living). These elements are shown as evidence of ministers cooperating with God and submitting themselves to inspection. The teacher then turns to verses 14–7:1 and unpacks Paul's call to separation from unbelievers and ungodly influence. The class covers the practical implications of “What fellowship has light with darkness?”—how relationships, partnerships, and associations shape spiritual life. The emphasis is on discerning who influences you, avoiding relationships or commitments that pull you from Christ, and prioritizing your identity as God's people. Throughout, the episode balances theology and application: how to spot false teaching, the role of motives in baptism and discipleship, the necessity of transformation (2 Corinthians 3:18), and the tension of being in the world but not of it (John 17). The teacher challenges listeners to keep hearts open, to forgive and love despite risk, and to pursue holiness so that they may receive God's promises as sons and daughters. Listeners should expect a thoughtful exposition of Paul's argument, interactive Q&A moments from class participants, practical examples for modern Christian living, and clear takeaways about perseverance, accountability, and the importance of right fellowship within the church. Duration 43:30
February 1, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode a pastoral sermon addresses the reality of change—in personal life, in the church, and in the spiritual life—while celebrating a momentous shift in local leadership. Speakers reflect on recent transitions (the appointment of new elders), offer biblical perspective, and give practical guidance for how a congregation should respond. The message draws on scripture and church history—Peter's Pentecost sermon, the inclusion of Cornelius and the Gentiles, Hebrews, Acts 20 and 1 Peter—to show how spiritual change is both God-ordained and costly. Listeners will hear how believers are called to view themselves as strangers and pilgrims, why the gospel remains unchanging, and how growth inevitably brings organizational shifts. Neal lays out a three-word framework for healthy change: anticipate, analyze, accept. He illustrates these points with personal anecdotes (a difficult 1,150-mile move and a long-standing building relocation) and memorable stories—the Grady Nutt radio tale, the railroad gauge history, and an airline crew-resource-management example—to highlight why some traditions persist and when change is necessary. Hiram closes by focusing on constants that never change and four elder responsibilities that endure: elders must watch themselves, guard the flock, be honored and obeyed, and remember the Chief Shepherd. These points are grounded in passages such as Acts 20, 1 Peter 5, Hebrews 13, and John 14 and include modern analogies (cybersecurity and pastoral oversight) to show how elders protect and shepherd the congregation. Practical takeaways include how the church can support and submit to shepherding leadership, how to evaluate changes biblically rather than reactively, and why spiritual stability rests on unchanging truths about Christ. The episode ends with an invitation to respond to the gospel—repentance and baptism for the forgiveness of sins—and a closing song.

January 11, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we continue a Bible class through 2 Corinthians, focusing on chapters 4 and 5 with an emphasis on ministry (diakonos) and Christian leadership. The class explores why Paul frames his defense of ministry as a larger treatise on service, answering accusations from false apostles and explaining who God can use for service. Key topics covered include the biblical meaning of ministry and the qualities God uses in servants: integrity of character, humility (recognizing adequacy comes from God), durability (perseverance under pressure), and spiritual stability expressed as faith. Practical applications to church leadership and everyday personal leadership are discussed throughout. The episode also examines the rewards and perspective God gives to faithful servants. Using Paul's contrasts between the temporal and the eternal, the class traces three primary blessings: (1) a promised new body and eternal home beyond our "tent" of flesh; (2) present courage and hope supplied by the Spirit as a pledge, enabling believers to walk by faith, not sight; and (3) confident standing before the judgment seat of Christ, knowing deeds will be recompensed and that a life lived to please God matters. Illustrations and pastoral application pepper the teaching — from tent‑camping imagery to references to Job, James, Ephesians, and other New Testament passages — all aimed at helping listeners reframe suffering as "light and momentary" compared with eternal glory. The class closes by previewing the next session's topic (motives for sharing Christ) and reiterates the call to persevere in faithful service. Duration 41:44

January 4, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this class on 2 Corinthians (primarily chapter 4 with a look toward chapter 5), the class explores what it means to be ministers of the new covenant and who God chooses to use in service. The session opens with a careful exposition of Paul's language: the frequent use of the Greek word family diakoneo/diakonos (servant/ministry) and the contrast between the ministry of life in Christ versus a ministry of death presented by false teachers. Key teaching points include: the character of those God uses (perseverance, a good conscience, and openness), the humility of God's servants ("treasure in earthen vessels"—the surpassing power belongs to God), and the durability of Christian service (afflicted but not crushed; persecuted but not abandoned). The speaker draws on Paul's life and sufferings—beatings, shipwrecks, and trials—as the model for steadfast ministry, emphasizes not waiting for perfection before serving, and warns against being a stumbling block by tampering with God's word or acting craftily. Practical applications and leadership lessons are given throughout: leaders should model integrity and transparency, avoid adding unnecessary rules that hinder others, and view setbacks as opportunities for God's refining work. Anecdotes (including references to Paul, gospel preacher George Bailey, and a longtime elder named Russell Young) illustrate humility, unselfishness, and how God uses ordinary, fragile people to reveal Christ's life to others. Listeners can expect expository Bible teaching, concrete examples of ministry in adversity, encouragement to serve despite weakness, and actionable advice for both personal discipleship and church leadership. The class concludes by noting that God not only calls servants but also provides grace and strengthening for those who remain faithful in service. Duration 43:36

December 28, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we continue a textual study through 2 Corinthians with the central theme that "Christianity is personal." The speaker walks listeners through Paul's personal relationship with the Corinthian church, his pastoral care and corrective discipline in 1 Corinthians, and the personal attacks Paul faces from unnamed false apostles. The discussion reviews chapters 1–2 and then focuses on 2 Corinthians 3:1–18, where Paul defends his apostolic authority and shifts to contrast his ministry with that of the critics. The episode highlights Paul's metaphor of the Corinthians as his living letter of recommendation — "written not with ink but with the Spirit" — and explains how their transformed lives in a sinful city prove the authenticity of his ministry. The speaker unpacks Paul's major contrast between the old covenant (the letter engraved on stone, associated with Moses and a fading glory) and the new covenant (the Spirit, which gives life and brings boldness, liberty, and transformation). Scriptural cross-references and background drawn on in the teaching include Jeremiah 31, Exodus (Moses' shining face and the Ten Commandments), 1 Corinthians, Acts, Galatians, Hebrews, and passages that point forward to Christ (e.g., Isaiah and the Psalms). The sermon explains the idea of the "veil" — how prior allegiances, traditions, or false teachings can harden hearts and obscure the gospel — and emphasizes that the veil is removed only by turning to the Lord and by the work of the Spirit. Key takeaways include: Paul's authority is validated by the transformed Corinthian believers; the old covenant as an end in itself is a "ministry of death," while the gospel of Christ is a ministry of the Spirit that gives life; the unveiled gospel produces hope, boldness, liberty, and ongoing transformation; and practical application calls believers to remove any veils — traditions, additional requirements, or hardened attitudes — that keep them or others from seeing and obeying the gospel in its purity. Listeners can expect clear exposition of 2 Corinthians 3, historical and biblical context, pastoral application for personal and communal faithfulness, and a call to embrace the liberating, life-giving ministry of the Spirit in the new covenant.

December 21, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode resumes a study of 2 Corinthians 2 as Neal unpacks why the Apostle Paul delayed his return to Corinth, how he defends his apostolic authority, and how the church should respond to repentance and restoration. Using the background from Acts and 1 Corinthians 5, the lesson situates Paul's letter in the timeline of his missionary journeys, explains the likely presence of false apostles and Judaizing critics, and recounts the specific disciplinary case of the man who lived with his father's wife. The class explores two primary reasons Paul gives for not coming sooner: changing plans directed by the Lord and a pastoral desire not to cause the congregation additional sorrow until they had processed corrective discipline. The speaker walks through 2 Corinthians 2:5–11 in detail, highlighting Paul's four practical instructions to the church after the penitent's return—forgive, comfort, reaffirm love, and be obedient—and Paul's personal example of forgiveness to prevent Satan from taking advantage of the situation. Listeners will hear discussion of key pastoral and practical themes: how to implement restorative discipline, the distinction between forgiveness and comfort, the role of godly sorrow in producing repentance, and the dangers of mishandling public sin. Class participants contribute practical reflections; Titus's report to Paul is noted as the confirming news about the church's response. The episode then broadens into leadership principles drawn from Paul's closing remarks: common distractions leaders face, the image of church leaders as an "aroma" that attracts some and repels others, the limits of human sufficiency and dependence on God's grace, and proper motives—sincerity, submission, and accountability—versus corrupting or peddling the gospel. The lesson closes with actionable takeaways for elders, teachers, and every believer about restoration, unity, and trusting God's sufficiency in ministry. Duration 44:35

December 14, 2025 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we continue our study of 2 Corinthians, focusing on chapters 1:12 through 2:17. The speaker reviews the major themes introduced earlier — suffering, comfort, confidence, and leadership — and draws two central principles: leadership inevitably involves suffering, and faithful leadership draws us closer to God. Using Paul as the model, the lesson examines how leaders become visible and vulnerable, how criticism and misunderstanding (especially from the Corinthians) test a leader's motives, and why leaders must be trusted when acting according to biblical qualifications and God's will. The episode traces Paul's travel plans and explains why he delayed visiting Corinth: not out of selfish motives or wishy-washiness, but because of concern for the congregation—particularly following the difficult disciplinary issue addressed in 1 Corinthians 5—and because Paul was responding to God's leading amid threats of imprisonment on his journey to Jerusalem. The speaker interprets key verses (including Paul's defense of his conscience and character, the ‘‘yes and no'' charge, and the assurance of God's faithfulness and the Spirit as a seal) while emphasizing that God's promises and presence are the true reward for leaders, not fame or wealth. Listeners will hear practical applications for modern church leadership—how criticism often stems from incomplete facts, the difference between constructive and destructive criticism, the pressures of living in a "glass house," and the importance of trusting biblically qualified leaders. The talk also highlights motivations for faithful leadership: the grace of God, the judgment seat of Christ, the promises and work of God, the glory of God, and the relationships with God's people. The episode concludes with encouragement that even amid misunderstanding and suffering, God comforts and establishes leaders who serve faithfully. Duration 42:39
