What can a list of names at the beginning of Matthew possibly tell us about Jesus?In Matthew 1:1–16, the genealogy of Jesus is filled with people we might not expect to find in the family tree of the Messiah—women and Gentiles, outsiders and rule breakers, saints and sinners. Rev. Tim Russell explores how these names aren't simply a record of where Jesus came from; they offer a glimpse of the kind of Messiah he will be.From Jesus' family tree to the table where he was raised by Mary and Joseph, and ultimately to the table Jesus sets for others, Tim traces a story of radical welcome. In a world constantly demanding that Jesus choose between “us” and “them,” Jesus chooses both—making room for the people others would leave out and offering a simple invitation: pull up a chair. We'll make a place.

On the KMOJ Morning Show, Marklyn T. Johnson joins Freddie Bell and Chantel Sings to discuss Pull Up a Chair: An Honest Conversation About Race in America, a book that combines real-life interviews, personal stories, and research to encourage thoughtful conversations about race in the United States. Rather than speaking only from his own perspective, Johnson amplifies the voices of everyday people and concludes each chapter with a "Mirror Moment," inviting readers to examine their own beliefs, experiences, and relationships. He also explains why he added a chapter addressing today's evolving conversations about race and how the book is intended to foster understanding rather than assign blame. The conversation explores how honest dialogue, practical action, and a willingness to listen can help people build stronger connections across differences and move toward meaningful change.

What happens when people feel forgotten, labeled, or unworthy of belonging? Pastor Andrew examines David's kindness to Mephibosheth as one of the Old Testament's clearest pictures of grace: the king seeks the broken, restores what was lost, and brings the undeserving to his table for another's sake. The sermon shows that God's grace not only reaches sinners through Christ, but also calls believers to become channels of that same grace toward others. Listeners are challenged to notice the overlooked, reject careless labels, and intentionally make room for someone who needs the kindness of God extended through them.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.

In this episode of The Nursing Strategies for Success Podcast, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Jody Long, MSN, MBA, RN, CEN, a Nurse with over 30 years of experience, to have a powerful and honest conversation about what it truly takes for Nurses to earn a seat at the decision-making table.Throughout our discussion, Jody shared real-world strategies that helped her successfully pivot into roles that expanded her influence, visibility, and impact — including corporate leadership positions, education roles, regulatory work with a State Board of Nursing, and her experience working with a major EHR technology company, PointClickCare.We talked candidly about the reality many Nurses face: working within broken systems, overly burdened workflows, and environments where control often feels out of reach. Jody emphasized that while we may not always control the system, we can control our strategic career moves. By intentionally stepping into roles that add knowledge, insight, and systems-level perspective, Nurses can position themselves as indispensable voices in healthcare decision-making.This episode highlights the importance of being strategic, adaptable, and proactive — seeking opportunities that broaden your understanding of operations, policy, education, and technology, while leveraging your clinical expertise to influence meaningful change for patients and nursing teams alike.If you're a Nurse at any level who wants to move beyond simply reacting to the system and start shaping it, this conversation is filled with insight, encouragement, and actionable strategies you won't want to miss.

This week's episode is a chill, at-home catch-up - the kind where I'm processing life out loud and letting the conversation go where it wants to go. I share about my quick overnight trip to D.C. to join a lobbying mission, what it feels like to join these inspiring groups and go to the White House, and why asking ourselves "ok, what can I do?" has become a helpful antidote to all the overwhelm that comes with watching the news lately. I'm catching you guys up on what Sonny's been up to, including a dramatic moment where he made a sign that said "only Dad is allowed in", and talking about weekend plans that include line dancing. Plus a "Lately I've Been.." check-in: the cravings, the things I'm rethinking, what's making me laugh, and some products I've been loving lately.

Denial: "How bad can it be and and do any of the unfolding events pertain to me?
