What happens when faith asks you to slow down, listen, and trust the Spirit? In this powerful “Fair Trade: Chapter Two” conversation, Gail Shurtleff reflects on the unexpected twists, deep healing, and sacred callings that have shaped her journey into Community of Christ. From navigating a profound faith transition to helping build an online congregation and discovering new possibilities for spiritual community during the pandemic, Gail's story is one of learning to recognize God's timing—even when it looks nothing like our own. Along the way, she discovers that sometimes the most faithful response is not to push forward, but to rest, listen, and trust what the Spirit is doing. Listen to more episodes in the Fair Trade series. Download the transcript.Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

What relationships in your life are more important than any issue or event that may have broken them down? Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a brief exploration of  Joseph's emotional reunion with his brothers and sit with the challenging idea that every hardship isn't always somehow part of God's plan. Instead, consider where God is present when the blessing doesn't come—and discover the deeper blessing found in healing, restored relationships, and reconciliation. Grab your coffee and join the conversation as we reflect on how we can move from asking “Why is this happening to me?” to trusting, “God is with me.

Freestyle legend K7 of TKA sits down for an intimate, no-holds-barred conversation about the music, memories, heartbreak and hustle behind a career spanning four decades. K7 opens up about his childhood and the life-changing move from Ponce, PR to Spanish Harlem, New York, where he reunited with his mother and eventually found his path to music. He takes us back to the beginning of TKA, from performing at neighborhood parties to landing a record deal with Tommy Boy Records, becoming one of freestyle music’s most influential groups, and ultimately reveals why the original TKA broke up. K7 also takes us inside the stories behind the music, including the FULL backstory of the TKA classic 'Maria' revealing that the song was actually inspired by two women he dated. He explains how writing became his way of expressing emotions he couldn’t always say out loud and how that pen helped establish him as one of freestyle music’s GOATs. We also get into K7’s transition from freestyle into hip-hop, his massive solo success with records like 'Come Baby Come' and how he managed to evolve while building a career that has lasted nearly 40 years. K7 shares stories about his relationships with fellow Latino music icons La India, Marc Anthony and Ivy Queen, giving us a rare look at who La India and Ivy Queen really are when the cameras are off. He also revisits the early days of Lisa Lisa and Full Force, and his role in connecting the pieces that helped launch one of the most important careers of the freestyle era. But this conversation goes far beyond music. K7 gets deeply personal about his wife’s battle with cancer, what it means to stand beside your spouse through sickness, and delivers a powerful message to men about showing up, becoming a true caretaker and honoring the commitment you made to your partner. He also reflects on his unexpected chapter in radio, why he ultimately walked away from it, the price of longevity, and what four decades in the entertainment business have taught him about friendship, family, love, loyalty and survival. From Ponce to Spanish Harlem, TKA to K7, freestyle to hip-hop, this is the story behind the hits and the man who wrote them.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When family rivalry, favoritism, and betrayal send a young dreamer into a pit, things can get a little crazy.  This week on Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore the complicated story of Joseph and his brothers in Genesis 37, uncovering themes of injustice, human brokenness, and the ways we lift others up—or put them down. As Joseph's story points toward a larger biblical narrative, we're invited to examine our own relationships and ask: Who have I lifted up today, and who have I put down? Join the conversation and discover a simple spiritual practice for increasing the “ups” and reducing the “downs” in our lives. Listen to other episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Great things can happen when a congregation stops asking, “How have we always done this?” and starts asking, “What does our community need now?” In this episode of What's Brewing, Blake Smith talks with Brooke and Thomas Schlenker of Highland Park, WA Congregation about their sacred (and un-conditional) yes to congregational leadership and to new ideas ... embracing experimentation, and becoming comfortable with the discomfort of change. Highland Park offers a compelling glimpse of what can happen when faith communities prepare well, take risks, learn from failure, and follow where the Spirit leads.  Listen to more episodes in the What's Brewing series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

There are times when we take our bodies for granted... abusing them with lengthy to-do lists of tasks that test the limits of our capacity. We go about our lives as if the “vessels” we have been given are unshakable, unbreakable, and without limits. How often do we thank others for the things they do for us, yet forget to take time to thank our bodies for getting us through the day? Join host Shannon McAdam for a blessing of the body. Take time to acknowledge and give thanks for the body you have been given, while allowing it a moment or two to rest and be blessed. Joyce Rupp, Out of the Ordinary: Prayers, Poems, and Reflections for Every Season, (Ave Maria Press, 2011). Listen to other Episodes in the Awaken to God's Presence series.  Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Hello! Today we are going to talk about Puerto Rico. One of the most wonderful cultures. Interesting facts and curiosities about this wonderful country in Latin America. I will be reading a text in Spanish very slowly and you will try to understand word by word. You will be learning some interesting facts about Latin America and also you will be improving your listening skills in Spanish. I will translate the text in English and then read in Spanish again in a normal speed.You can support me and my podcast if you want:Donate with PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/paypalme/spanishwithdennisYou can buy me a cup of coffee here:https://www.buymeacoffee.com/spanishwithdennisHere is the text in Spanish: Puerto RicoSu nombre real es Estado Libre Asociado de Puerto Rico, ya que es un territorio no incorporado estadounidense desde 1917. Es decir, Puerto Rico es aún un territorio que se encuentra bajo la soberanía estadounidense. Aunque Puerto Rico es un territorio de EE. UU., La isla también tiene su propia bandera. Puerto Rico es el mayor productor de ron en el mundo: el 86% del que se vende en Estados Unidos proviene de la isla. El ron consolida a Puerto Rico como la capital mundial del ron. Tiene la única selva tropical en el sistema forestal de los EE. UU.  El Yunque en Puerto Rico. El bosque recibe más de 120 pulgadas de lluvia cada año. Es el lugar de nacimiento de la piña colada. Tenemos que agradecer a Puerto Rico por esta dulce mezcla de crema de coco, jugo de piña, ron blanco y hielo. La identidad de su verdadero creador sigue siendo una controversia sin resolver — tres bartenders diferentes aparentemente reclaman la invención — pero fue nombrada la bebida nacional de Puerto Rico en 1978. El coquí es una pequeña rana endémica de Puerto Rico y es uno de los símbolos más queridos de la isla. Su nombre proviene del característico sonido que emite en las noches: «co-quí». Es curioso porque el sonido «co» lo usan para repeler a otros machos, mientras que el «qui» es útil para atraer a las hembras.¿Sabías que en Puerto Rico hay playas con bioluminiscencia? Existen pocas playas en el mundo donde se puede ver este increíble fenómeno y Puerto Rico cuenta con tres de ellas: Bahía Mosquito y Laguna Grande, en la isla de Vieques, y La Parguera, al oeste de Ponce. Cuando oscurece, el agua brilla con el movimiento, debido a la presencia de organismos bioluminiscentes, que crean un espectáculo natural sorprendente. Tiene la Navidad más larga del mundo.La isla es conocida por tener la Navidad más larga del mundo, una temporada que dura 45 días, la cual comienza el día después del Día de Acción de Gracias y termina a mediados de enero con el Festival de la Calle San Sebastián.My new Youtube channel: Spanish with Dennishttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCQVuRUMQGwtzBIp1YAImQFQMy new Discord server and chat and you can already join and write to me there:https://discord.gg/HWGrnmTmyCMy new Telegram channel and you can already join and write to me or comment there:https://t.me/SpanishwithDennisJoin my Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/spanishwithdennisSupport me by joining my podcasts supporter club on Spreaker:https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/slow-spanish-language--5613080/supportDonate with Boosty:https://boosty.to/spanishwithdennis/donateDonate with Donation Alerts:https://www.donationalerts.com/r/dennisespinosaDonate with Crypto currency:Bitcoin (BTC)1DioiGPAQ6yYbEgcxEFRxWm5hZJcfLG9V6USDT (ERC20)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855USDT (TRC20)TXoQwsaiTGBpWVkyeigApLT8xC82rQwRCNEthereum (ETH)0xeb8f678c0b8d37b639579662bf653be762e60855If you have any other suggestions or recommendations on what other platform you can support me and my podcasts, please let me know.

Wrestling with God can be painful, but it just might be worth it if it transforms us. In this episode of Coffee to Go, hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith explore Jacob's mysterious nighttime struggle in Genesis 32—and the lasting mark it leaves on him. Be prepared to reflect on the ways our own encounters with God, uncertainty, and the sacred can leave us changed, sometimes even limping into a new way of being. As we wrestle with the questions and challenges of our own lives, we're invited to slow down, pay attention, and discover what blessing might be waiting for us in the darkness.  Listen to more episodes in the Coffee to Go series. Download the transcript. Thanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

What if nothing—not suffering, rejection, failure, or even our deepest pain—could separate us from the love of God? Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith as they explore Romans 8:26–39 and Paul's powerful assurance that God's love is not reserved for a select few but is expansive, extravagant, and available to all.

There is no shame in being thankful for one's blessings, especially as they relate to one's country of origin or residence...as long as the gratitude is grounded in an understanding that God doesn't favor any one nation over another. After all, God is God of all the nations. It's important to remember that people everywhere are God's children ... all of whom have common hopes and dreams. Join host Robin Linkhart for a spiritual practice of dwelling in a hymn that helps us remember just that.

Paul's passionate challenge in Romans 6:12–23 pushes his listeners (and ours) to choose a life shaped by grace rather than the forces that pull us away from God's purposes.

On Friday, August 20 2010, officers from the Holmes County Sheriff's Department were called to Vortex Spring, a commercially operated dive park just outside the Florida town of Ponce de Leon. A 30-year-old scuba diver from Tennessee by the name of Ben McDaniel had failed to resurface after diving into the narrow cave network under the basin of the spring two nights earlier, and nobody had seen or heard from him since. When a recovery mission failed to find any sign of Ben, his loved ones and members of the cave diving community were left in shock. Was Ben stuck in an unexplored part of the cave somewhere, or was something else entirely at play?---Casefile Archives is a series of special bonus releases revisiting the earliest years of the show. The re-run episodes have been completely edited, polished, re-recorded and freshly produced from start to finish to match our current production standards. They are not complete rewrites - our goal wasn't to alter the cases or reshape the writing, but to preserve the original storytelling while giving the production the refinement it didn't have when we started the show back in 2016. Where appropriate, updates have been added, but the core structure and storytelling remain faithful to the originals. Because of this, these re-releases may sound a little different to our recent episodes, but they allow us to bring some of the earliest episodes up to the technical quality listeners expect today.---Narration – Anonymous HostResearch & writing – Elsha McGill Production & music – Mike MigasAudio editing – Anthony TelferSign up for Casefile Premium:Apple PremiumSpotify PremiumPatreonFor all credits and sources, please visit https://casefilepodcast.com/casefile-archives-10-ben-mcdaniel Hosted on Acast.
