The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. The cold-blooded world of organized crime in Rhode Island once felt untouchable, hidden behind the stoic façades of social clubs and whispered conversations. But thanks to retired State Police Major Anthony M. Pesare, those dark corners are being pulled into the light, on the page, in the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Pesare, who served with distinction in the Rhode Island State Police for 24 years, spent a portion of his career inside the elite Intelligence Unit, investigating the Mafia, political corruption, and cold murder cases. His real-life experience forms the basis for his gripping novels They Always Win: Inspired by a True Story and Back in the Game, both part of the Gino Peterson series. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast interview, available for free on their website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more podcast platforms. “I've seen firsthand how the lines can blur between the law and the people we're chasing,” Pesare explains in the popular Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast. “The work we did wasn't just about arrests. It was about uncovering the truth, no matter how cold or hidden it was.” Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . A Murder That Went Cold One of the true cases that inspired They Always Win revolves around Frank “Bobo” Marrapese, a notorious enforcer for the Patriarca crime family. The case centered on the 1975 murder of mob associate Richard “Dickie” Callei, who was shot inside Marrapese's Acorn Social Club on Providence's Federal Hill and buried near a golf course in Rehoboth, Massachusetts. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. That case went cold, until the relentless work of detectives like Pesare brought it back to life. “Marrapese was feared. He was brutal. But he wasn't above the law,” Pesare said. “We had to work those cold trails, use every angle. Eventually, we got there.” The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Marrapese, who later died in prison while serving time for murder, racketeering, and extortion, was part of a broader criminal network that ruled much of New England's underworld for decades. The Patriarca Family: Crime and Influence The Patriarca crime family, also known as the New England Mafia, has long been an institution in organized crime history. Founded under Raymond L.S. Patriarca, the organization held power throughout Rhode Island, Massachusetts, and Connecticut. At its peak, the family included over 100 made men and thrived off illegal gambling, loan-sharking, pornography, and stolen goods trafficking. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. While the family has fractured and declined, its influence and legacy still cast a long shadow over Rhode Island's law enforcement history. You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. Fiction Mirrors Fact. Anthony wrote two books about his experience, "They Always Win: Inspired by a True Story" and "Back in the Game: A Gino Peterson Novel", you can get more information about those books on Amazon, also be sure to check out his website. In They Always Win, protagonist Gino Peterson walks a razor's edge between loyalty and justice. “I wanted to tell a story that captures the emotional complexity,” says Pesare. “Gino's not just fighting the mob, he's fighting his own past.” Raised in the same neighborhoods as the people he later investigates, Gino's journey mirrors Pesare's own. The novel explores Gino's internal battle and the political red tape that threatens to derail major cases. It's a story as much about identity and sacrifice as it is about the law. The full podcast episode is streaming now on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and across Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn. And while it's fiction, the core truths are based in reality. “Some names are changed, sure,” Pesare shares, “but the tactics, the betrayals, the pressure, that's all real.” The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes. Back in the Game In the sequel "Back in the Game", Gino Peterson is once again deep inside the criminal underworld, but this time, his enemy might be someone he once called a friend. A man from Gino's old neighborhood, resurfaces on the opposite side of the law. As both men wrestle with the need to belong and the consequences of their choices, their lives move toward a violent and inevitable collision. “It's a book about redemption, about proving yourself, to the world and to yourself,” Pesare says. Real Justice, Real Experience Pesare's law enforcement background is extensive. Beyond his time as Major in the Rhode Island State Police, he served as Chief of Police in Middletown, and was Dean of the School of Justice Studies at Roger Williams University. He holds degrees in justice administration and public administration, and earned a Juris Doctor from the New England School of Law. The Mafia and State Police, Cold Murders and Other Crimes.

God Is Positioning You Esther 2 ReCreate Church | Michael Shockley | July 20, 2025 ---------- EPISODE SUMMARY Ever feel stuck in a place you don't want to be, wondering why God hasn't moved you? Through the dramatic story of Esther chapter 2, Michael Shockley reveals how God orchestrates circumstances we never could have imagined. From a rigged beauty pageant to an assassination attempt, discover how God positioned an unknown peasant girl to become queen of the most powerful empire in the world - all to save His people and preserve the lineage of Jesus. Learn why your current circumstances, even the difficult ones, might be exactly where God needs you to be to make a difference in someone's life. Core Message: God puts the right people in the right place at the right time - and that includes YOU. ---------- KEY TOPICS COVERED The Historical Background: Greco-Persian Wars - King Ahasuerus (Xerxes) and his massive failed invasion of Greece - The battles of Marathon, Thermopylae, Salamis, and Plataea - How military defeat set the stage for needing a new queen - The connection between Esther 1 and 2 through historical context The Beauty Pageant That Wasn't - The reality behind the "beauty pageant" - women were taken, not volunteers - The 12-month preparation process and beauty treatments - How God doesn't endorse evil practices but brings good from them - The heartbreaking reality of forgotten women in the harem Meet the Main Characters - Mordecai: The Jewish exile working in the king's gate - Hadassah/Esther: The orphaned cousin raised as a daughter - The advice to hide her Jewish identity due to growing hostility God's Providence in Action - How Esther found favor with Hegai and received special treatment - The rigged nature of the selection process - divine intervention - Esther's immediate impact on King Ahasuerus - From unknown peasant girl to Queen of the Persian Empire The Assassination Plot - Mordecai overhearing the conspiracy against the king - His quick action to inform Esther, who told the king - The overlooked recognition that would matter later - Another example of being the right person in the right place God's Bigger Picture - How Esther's positioning would save the Jewish people from genocide - The connection to preserving Jesus' lineage 500 years later - God allowing human choice while directing outcomes for His purposes - The difference between God causing pain vs. bringing purpose from it The Joseph Figlock Illustration - The Detroit street sweeper during the Great Depression - The baby who fell from a fourth-floor window - twice - How ordinary people in ordinary places become extraordinary miracles - The importance of showing up even when frustrated with circumstances ---------- MEMORABLE QUOTES "King Ahasuerus was literally the wealthiest, most powerful person who had lived to that point, but he wasn't happy." "God's Providence doesn't erase our trauma or trouble, but it does encourage us that God is able to redeem the worst things we go through." "Jesus sees the forgotten. He calls the overlooked by name. Nobody is disposable to Him." "God took the selfish and exploitative actions of a pagan King and directed the outcome to position Esther in a place of influence." "You might be asking, 'Why am I still stuck here?' And the answer might be — you are the right person at the right place at the right time." "You might not get a baby dropped on your head, but you might be somebody's miracle." "You are not an accident. You are on assignment." ---------- BIBLICAL FOUNDATION - Primary Text: Esther 2:1-4, 15 - Supporting Context: Esther Chapter 1 (Queen Vashti's removal) - Key Theme: Divine providence working through human circumstances - Historical Context: Persian Empire, Jewish exile, preservation of God's people - Forward Connection: Preservation of Jesus' lineage ---------- PRACTICAL APPLICATION If You Feel Stuck in Your Current Situation: - Remember that God might have you exactly where you need to be - Look for opportunities to make a difference where you are - Trust that God is telling a bigger story than you can see - Keep showing up faithfully even when circumstances are difficult If You're Going Through Unwanted Circumstances: - Know that God doesn't cause your pain but can bring purpose from it - Understand that human evil doesn't thwart God's ultimate plans - Trust that God can redeem even the worst situations - Remember that you might be positioned to help someone else If You Feel Forgotten or Overlooked: - Know that Jesus sees the forgotten and calls the overlooked by name - Understand that recognition may come at the perfect time, not immediately - Trust that your contribution matters even if it's not acknowledged - Remember that nobody is disposable to God If You're Waiting for God to Move You: - Consider that your current position might be strategic - Look for ways to be faithful in your present circumstances - Stay alert for opportunities to make a difference - Trust God's timing for change in your life If You Want to Make a Difference: - Recognize that ordinary people in ordinary places can be extraordinary miracles - Stay faithful in small things while God prepares you for bigger purposes - Be ready to act when opportunities arise - Trust that God positions people for His purposes ---------- THE ULTIMATE INVITATION You might feel overlooked, forgotten, or stuck — but God hasn't lost track of you. Like Esther, Mordecai, and Joe the street sweeper, you are not an accident. You are on assignment. Just as God positioned Esther to save her people, He positioned Jesus to save you and me. Jesus was the Right Person in the right place at the right time. Trust Jesus, and trust that He's got you in the right place at the right time — even when you can't see it yet. ---------- CONNECT WITH RECREATE CHURCH - Website: recreatechurch.org - Support the Ministry: Give through the Tithe.ly app ---------- Remember: God is always telling a bigger story than we can see. Your current circumstances might be exactly where God needs you to be to make a difference in someone's life.

When Jesus proclaimed the kingdom of God in His great sermon he included these well known words from Matthew 6:33 “…seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you.” Thousands of years earlier His message had been preceded by an understanding of the rewards of righteousness through the pen of Solomon in the great book of Proverbs. The blessing and benefit of living according to God‘s terms in this world cannot be overstated, but can easily be misunderstood.  In our fallen frame of mind, benefits can often be mistaken for curses and vice versa. How can we seek to untangle the confusion that we often face in our day-to-day lives? Solomon's instruction, corroborated by words of Jesus, offers much in that regard. Let us behold and esteem the blessings of righteousness revealed by someone with authority on the matter gleaned from his experience as a great king, writing under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.

Stefan Collini, FBA. Professor Emeritus of Intellectual History and English Literature, University of Cambridge.The Donald Winch Lectures in Intellectual History. University of St Andrews. 11th, 12th & 13th October 2022. In the course of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, universities expanded to include a wide range of what came to be regarded as academic ‘disciplines'. In Britain, the study of ‘English literature' was eventually to become one of the biggest and most popular of these subjects, yet it was in some ways an awkward fit: not obviously susceptible to the ‘scientific' treatment considered the hallmark of a scholarly discipline, it aroused a kind of existential commitment in many of those who taught and studied it. These lectures explore some of the ways in which these tensions worked themselves out in the last two hundred years, drawing on a wide range of sources to understand the aspirations invested in the subject, the resistance that it constantly encountered, and the distinctive forms of enquiry that came to define it. In so doing, they raise larger questions about the changing character of universities, the peculiar cultural standing of ‘literature', and the conflicting social expectations that societies have entertained towards higher education and specialized scholarship.Handout.1. ‘Neglected and despised as it is in comparison with its favoured competitor, how far more does it deserve the notice bestowed on her. It is not partial in its cultivation of the intellect, but tends at once to correct the taste, to strengthen the judgement, to instruct us in the wisdom of men better and wiser than ourselves, to exercise the reasoning faculties on subjects which demand and deserve their attention, and to show them the boundaries imposed on them by Providence. It is literature which fits and prepares us best of all for the examination of those moral and intellectual truths, which are not only the worthiest exercise of our reason, but most concern our future destiny.'2. ‘The teaching of English literature will contribute to the formation of sound conclusions on social and political questions; to right feeling and right thinking in all that appertains to morality and religion; to largeness, to sanity, to elevation, to refinement in judgement, taste and sentiment, to all, in short, which constitutes in the proper sense of the term the education of the British citizen.'3. ‘By the humanizing power of literature we mean the development of the higher faculties, the imagination, the sense of beauty and the intellectual comprehension, clear vision, mental harmony, a just sense of proportion, higher illumination.'4. ‘In all my Lectures, more particularly when treating upon that glorious and inexhaustible subject, the LITERATURE of our country - I shall esteem it my duty - and I trust I shall find it my delight - to inculcate lessons of virtue, through the medium of the masters of our language.'5. ‘A chief burden in maintaining and keeping uppermost the spiritual element in man must rest, for a variety of reasons, more upon the teaching of English and English literature than upon any other subject.'6. ‘The value of critical training, and of the various methods of study that I have touched upon, is simply that they educate our power of appreciation and make it possible for us to enter into the life and meaning of the highest poetry. Without some such mental discipline we shall always be in danger of accepting the second-rate for a masterpiece, and shall either be content with this shallower outlet for our emotions or be inclined to dispute the power of art to satisfy us at all. But if we submit our taste for poetry to education, the highest in ourselves will be drawn out to meet what is highest in the great artist: we shall realize our kinship with him and participate in his vision.'

Today, I am joined by old friend and fellow MassArt alum Ben Sisto to discuss his acclaimed documentary, Who Let The Dogs Out (2019), ahead of his upcoming screening with a Q&A at Alamo Drafthouse in Boston. We talk about SIM (Studio for Interrelated Media at MassArt), a surprise guest at Fort Thunder, Providence and delaying projects during the pandemic! Celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Baha Men classic with Ben for a Q & A at the Alamo Drafthouse in the Seaport on Tuesday, July 22nd. Who Let the Dogs Out (Hodgee Films, 2019) Only Boston Screening! Tuesday July 22 Alamo Drafthouse Cinema 60 Seaport Blvd., Boston MA, 02210 In celebration of the 25th anniversary of Baha Men's global pop sensation, Who Let the Dogs Out, OPEN is presenting screenings of Who Let the Dogs Out, a documentary film following artist Ben Sisto from Seattle to the UK as he attempts to gently nudge-back against the concept of individual authorship in favor of a view that art is a collective process. Produced by Hodgee Films, Who Let the Dogs Out made its debut at SXSW (2019), was a hit at Hot Docs (Toronto), and was later adapted into an episode of the popular podcast 99% Invisible. In addition to the Boston screening, the film will play at the Providence Public Library alongside Sisto's collection of some 300 pieces of research materials and ephemera. The Boston screening will be followed by a live Q&A with Who Let the Dogs Out writer Ben Sisto and critic Oscar Goff of The Boston Hassle. Some kind words: "…niftily balances a tightrope equation of “how much is this a white paper and how much is this an entertaining movie,” — Observer You'll never hear that damn song the same way again, that's for certain." – POV Magazine It's all just very confusing." –A/V Club About Ben: Ben Sisto is an artist who lives in Providence, RI with his family, including a dog called Andie. He is the world's leading expert (unchallenged) on Who Let the Dogs Out. Back in the 2000s, Ben lived in Boston where he organized many concerts, parties, and flea markets at places like Mass Art, Great Scott, and The Milky Way. I Think This Is Great! with Clay N.

The Desert Fathers make it very clear that in every element of our faith life we are being drawn into the mystery of God and the kingdom. Therefore, we must become comfortable with living in mystery; of being immersed in a reality that is beyond intellect and reason and comprehended solely through the gift of faith and the light that God bestow upon us.  We often move very quickly to dissect what has been revealed to us by God, both for ourselves and others. Discussing matters of faith and reading books about dogma, however, can cause a man's compunction to wither and disappear. We often cling to the notional and the abstract rather than focusing upon our relationship with God and seeking purity of heart. The Fathes tell us it is the lives in the sayings of the elders that enlighten the soul and fill it with spiritual tears. Our lives then must be shaped by the Gospel and as one elder tells us we must seek to draw Christ into every part of our life. We love and follow a humble and crucified Lord; One who has been afflicted for our sin and who seeks our healing. Thus, our lives should mirror the simplicity of our Lord. We must not pamper the body in such a way that we weaken the spirit of contrition within our hearts. Neither must we fear affliction, but rather embrace it when it comes into our lives; knowing that God and his Providence allows it and through it perfects our virtue.  To a certain extent, we must be willing separate ourselves from the world and surround ourselves with those who seek and desire the same thing. How else can we maintain the spirit of contrition? The world itself and our culture has become antithetical to the gospel. The cross has been and always will be a stumbling block to those without faith. The more those in the world become focused upon material goods and comforts and a manner of life that is contrary to the teachings of the gospel, we must strive to genuinely and heroically to conform our lives to Christ regardless of the costs. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:09:31 Maureen Cunningham: I think it like a rally good restaurant it always word of mouth 00:10:56 Maureen Cunningham: What is sub stack and how is it different 00:11:10 Maureen Cunningham: You tube is also a big 00:11:38 Bob Čihák, AZ: substack.com in short. 00:11:50 iPad (2): Yes Father I agree with you 100% 00:11:56 Bob Čihák, AZ: Look & see. 00:15:53 Andrew Adams: I vote website, but I don't do social media anyway.

In this heartwarming and inspiring episode, Susan Ryan welcomes 99-year-old Peg McLaughlin and her daughter Marguerite for a moving conversation about Peg's extraordinary life. A lifelong nurse, mother of five, and dedicated community volunteer, Peg shares stories from her upbringing in Providence, R.I., her career in obstetrics and pediatrics, and decades of service to others—whether through scouting, church ministries, or her local food bank. Now living in assisted living after having given up driving at age 98, Peg reflects on adjusting to a new chapter of life, maintaining her faith and independence, and finding purpose through connection, compassion, and resilience. Margie offers loving insights into her mother's unwavering generosity and quiet impact on those around her. Some of Peg's words of wisdom: • Service doesn't end with age—it evolves. • Maintaining social connection and purpose is key to aging well. • Faith, humor, and a giving heart sustain a life of longevity. Together, their reflections offer a beautiful portrait of aging, humor, and heart.

The salvation God brings is a total reversal. The great famine becomes a great feast, and the least and last in this world are the first to the table. They acted on the possibility of mercy, and they discovered the surprising grace of God.

Summer at City A Consuming Fire & An Unshakeable Kingdom Hebrews 12:25-29 25 See to it that you do not refuse him who speaks. If they did not escape when they refused him who warned them on earth, how much less will we, if we turn away from him who warns us from heaven? 26 At that time his voice shook the earth, but now he has promised, “Once more I will shake not only the earth but also the heavens.” 27 The words “once more” indicate the removing of what can be shaken—that is, created things—so that what cannot be shaken may remain. 28 Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom that cannot be shaken, let us be thankful, and so worship God acceptably with reverence and awe, 29 for our “God is a consuming fire.” Deut. 4:24 ESV "For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God." Consuming: completely filling one's mind and attention; absorbing. "It's not that we don't want God; it's that we've found a thousand things we want more than God." - Ravenhill God's fire produces missional clarity “yet there is a spiritual force which may well be described as a shaking. It is only when the tree of the nation has a thorough shaking, that at last the prime, ripe fruit will drop down into the great Master's lap. He shakes by Providence, by the movement of the human conscience. He shakes by the impulses of his Holy Spirit; he shakes the human spirit, and as a result persons out of all the nations are brought to himself. Stones that he would have, come at last out of the quarry, and he builds them up into a temple.” -Spurgeon Haggai 2:6-7 NIV “This is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘In a little while I will once more shake the heavens and the earth, the sea and the dry land. I will shake all nations, and what is desired by all nations will come, and I will fill this house with glory,' says the Lord Almighty" Chemdah: the desire/desired of all nations 2:7b Revelation 5:9 NIV "And they sang a new song, saying: "You are worthy to take the scroll and to open its seals, because you were slain and with your blood you purchased for God persons from every tribe and language and people and nation." Titus 2:13-14 KJV "Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Savior Jesus Christ; Who gave himself for us, that he might redeem us from all iniquity, and purify unto himself a peculiar people, zealous for good works" God's fire emphasizes eternal stability v28a. Questions: Are you building your life on the unshakable Kingdom? Does the way I'm living my life in this moment make sense in light of eternity with Jesus? God's fire propels us towards intimacy v28b

Aaron LeDuc – Esther 9:20-10:3

Sunday Evening Service

One can easily imagine the context inspiring David's words here. A good portion of his early days were spent on the run as a fugitive from King Saul. For years, due to this providential hardship, David was likely unable to participate in tabernacle worship.  Nevertheless, we hear his heart in this song as he prays that the Lord would count his prayer and praise as a legitimate incense offering.  Spurgeon writes of this song: “David's case seemed hopeless: the cause of God in Israel was as a dead thing, even as a skeleton broken, and rotten, and shoveled out of the grave, to return as dust to its dust. There seemed to be no life, no cohesion, no form, order, or headship among the godly party in Israel: Saul had demolished it, and scattered all its parts, so that it did not exist as an organized whole. David himself was like one of these dried bones, and the rest of the godly were in much the same condition.“ in the Providence of God, this occasion provides a Spirit inspired example of prayer in crisis. David demonstrates how to face trials unto the glory of God.

On their second attempt in two years, in April 2025, Anna Pfaff and Andres Marin completed a direct new route up the south face of Mt. Providence in the Alaska Range, this time with Tad McCrea as their climbing partner. The nearly 1,000-meter climb had difficulties on rock, ice and snow. For Pfaff, who lost six toes to frostbite on a nearby mountain in 2022, the summit was a form of redemption. And on Mt. Providence, all three climbers found large doses of good fortune and serendipity. Host Jim Aikman interviewed each of the climbers to capture this compelling story of the power of friendship, belief and kismet in the Alaska Range.

“We need to give God room to show up. Often we try to fix and solve everything without waiting for God to act” - Jonathan and Amanda Texiera   Summary The number one conflict in marriages, statistically, is money.  How we spend our money reflects our values, but also our belief in the providence of God.  Do we truly believe that God cares about all of our life, including our financial needs?  How much are we truly trusting in Him and His provision and not just giving in to panic and fear?  In this podcast, we invited our friends Jonathan and Amanda Texiera of Wallet Win to give us some encouragement to give our entire lives over to God and believe that He cares for us completely.  They give spiritual principles, but also practical advice for families to reject fear and embrace trust.     Key Takeaways Remind yourselves of what God has done in your lives and invite God into your money, he wants to be part of your life Give God room to show up - we try to fix and solve everything without waiting for God to act Create financial oneness in our marriage Live as financial disciples - play the long game   Couple Discussion Questions Look at the fruits of panic and trusting providence.  How have you experienced these?  List the ways that God has provided for you.  Where can you trust him more?    Resources https://walletwin.com/
