This episode explores what I call the miracle before the miracle of Christmas. Before Bethlehem. Before the manger. Before angels filled the sky. God was already at work. In this teaching from Luke chapter 1, we walk through the story of Zacharias and Elizabeth, the priesthood, and the grace of God that moves even when prayers feel unanswered and seasons feel barren. This is a message for anyone who has: - Remained faithful while waiting - Served God without seeing change - Wondered if time has passed them by - Felt marked by past mistakes, family history, or reproach You'll see how God's grace: - Qualifies who we think are disqualified - Answers prayers we've stopped believing for - Removes shame and restores calling - Prepares the way for His promises This message is deeply rooted in Scripture, moving from Exodus to Luke, Galatians, 1 Peter, and Revelation, revealing how God establishes a royal priesthood and remains faithful across generations. Whether you're listening during the Christmas season or any time of year, this teaching is a reminder that God is faithful, even in the waiting.

Not every workspace qualifies as a home office deduction. Dr. Friday breaks down what the IRS considers a true dedicated business space. Transcript G’day, I’m Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday’s Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Home office expense. Wow—we're getting close to the tax season, getting ready to end December, getting ready to go into 2026, and we’re thinking about: is this home office a true tax deduction? Keep in mind, if you are self-employed, it is your only office—home office—as long as it’s not your kitchen table or a dining room where there’s something else. It has to be a specific room in which you have your office equipment and your ability to do your work. It cannot have a bed. Nowadays I don’t know if the IRS is as picky about TVs—at one point it could not have a TV in it, but now people use that for their screens. So if you’ve got questions on this call the firm, 615-367-0819. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

Alternative investments have become a buzzword—but are they really the secret weapon of the ultra-wealthy, or just another tool in a diversified portfolio? In this podcast, Jeremiah and Nic unpack what "alternatives" actually mean—from private equity and private credit to other non-public market opportunities. They explain who qualifies as an accredited investor under Regulation D, what the income and net worth thresholds are, and why not everyone needs to chase these investments right away. They break down the trade-offs: potential for higher returns and less daily market volatility—but also illiquidity, limited transparency, and the need for careful due diligence. Learn how alternative investments work, who they're for, and how they can (or can't) fit into your financial plan!

Thinking about buying a new vehicle? Dr. Friday explains the new rules for deducting auto loan interest and who qualifies based on income. Transcript G'day, I'm Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday's Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. Auto loans can deduct up to ten thousand dollars of interest, but there's always a but—it has to be new. It has to be a new car, minivan, SUV, pickup truck, or motorcycle after the year of 2024. And you need to have, again, limitations to income: $100,000 for individuals and $200,000 if filing joint. If your income is above that, you will not be able to qualify. If it's under, you might be able to qualify. So maybe this is a good time to think—do I need a car now or within the next few months? Because if you don't buy at the right time and the right car, you may not be able to deduct this interest, which normally we can't. Check me out, drfriday.com.

President Donald Trump is once again testing the limits of the Justice Department. Today, lawyers representing Rep. LaMonica McIver will attempt to have the case against the New Jersey Democrat thrown out. McIver's legal team is calling the charges political prosecution and saying she qualifies for legislative immunity — which is exactly what the Supreme Court granted Trump last year. Will Trump tally another unprecedented legal win? Playbook's Jack Blanchard and White House Bureau Chief Dasha Burns discuss the implications. Plus, Hill Republicans are set to flock to the White House today for lunch with the president on day 21 of the government shutdown, and Trump's pick to lead the Office of Special Counsel is in hot water.
Guest: Nicholas Keung, Toronto Star immigration reporter A federal bill that could restore citizenship to people born abroad is drawing renewed political debate over who qualifies as Canadian and what rules should apply. Bill C-3 was introduced after a court found Canada's two-generation limit on citizenship by descent to be unconstitutional. The proposed legislation would allow Canadians born outside the country to pass citizenship to their children, even if those children are also born abroad, provided certain conditions are met. Recent amendments have added new hurdles including language requirements, security checks, and a more restrictive residency test. Supporters argue the bill finally addresses long-standing exclusions faced by so-called "Lost Canadians," while critics warn the changes could either enable Canadian citizenship without meaningful connection or reintroduce unfair barriers under a different form. On this episode we break down what's changing, who this affects, and what happens next as the bill moves toward a November deadline to be passed. This episode was mixed by Paulo Marques

“With 200 to go, I felt really strong. I wasn't really burning yet. With about 120 to go coming off the curve, I saw everybody right there. I was like, ‘I feel amazing!' The crowd all stood up and it was super electric. I was like, ‘I have a shot now.'”My guest for today's episode is Cooper Lutkenhaus, the 16-year-old Texan who just ran one of the most astonishing races in American track and field history at the U.S. Championships in Eugene, Oregon. Cooper placed second in the men's 800m in 1:42.27 — a U18 world record, a three second personal best, and the fourth fastest time ever run by an American. He finished just behind Donovan Brazier, the former world champion who made his own remarkable comeback. Cooper was in 7th place with 150m to go. He stayed calm, executed his race plan, and closed in a blistering 12.48 seconds over the final 100m, surging into second and nearly catching Donovan Brazier at the finish line. This was a performance that defied age, experience, and expectations, and announced Cooper as the future of American middle distance running.In this episode, we get into it and try to answer the main question: how did this happen and who is Cooper? It wasn't just a great race for a high schooler; it was a great race, period._____________Host: Chris Chavez | @chris_j_chavez on InstagramGuest: Cooper Lutkenhaus | @cooper.lutkenhaus on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | @jasminefehr on InstagramMentioned in this episode…Watch: USATF Championships Men's 800m final_____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSOLIPOP: Straight out of Bikini Bottom, Olipop's limited edition SpongeBob cans have arrived.

That that you need to be somehow more trained than others, but that is not the case. (Read more…)Here is my homily email from the Fourteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/07/25 ; 04/08/25 ; 04/09/25 ; 05/06/25 ; 05/08/25 May Another Person Help Put Tefillin On You—And Who Qualifies to Do So? The act of putting on Tefillin is a personal Misva that requires intention, precision, and sanctity. But what happens when a person cannot do it themselves? May another person assist? And are there restrictions on who is allowed to help—such as a woman, child, or even a non-Jew? This Halacha explores the boundaries of assistance, the impact on kavana and the Beracha, and the situations where help becomes a necessity. Is a Person Allowed to Receive Help Putting On Tefillin? Yes. A person may receive help putting on Tefillin, especially when needed due to age, injury, or inexperience. Ideally, a man should put on his own Tefillin to perform the Misva personally, but Halacha allows for assistance when necessary. The Misva lies in the placement and binding of the Tefillin onto the body. As long as the wearer has the proper intention (kavana) and recites the Beracha, the Misva is fulfilled—even if another person places or wraps the Tefillin. This applies both to the Shel Yad (on the arm) and the Shel Rosh (on the head). Help may be given with positioning, adjusting, or tightening—especially if the wearer cannot reach, does not know how, or is worried about doing it incorrectly. Does the One Assisting Need to Have Kavana? No. The kavana that matters is that of the person wearing the Tefillin, not the one providing assistance. The helper does not need to have in mind that a Misva is being done. The individual receiving the Tefillin is the one performing the commandment, even if someone else does the physical action. Therefore, one can fulfill the Misva even if the helper is not religious, does not know the laws, or is not thinking about the Misva. Can a Woman Help Someone Put On Tefillin? Yes. A woman may assist someone with putting on Tefillin. Since the woman is not fulfilling the Misva for herself, but simply helping position the Tefillin on another, there is no issue. This applies to mothers helping sons, nurses helping patients, or even a bystander helping a man with limited mobility. As long as the person wearing the Tefillin recites the Beracha and intends to perform the Misva, the placement by a woman is Halachically acceptable. Some might wonder whether the woman should wear gloves or avoid contact, but Halacha does not require this. Modesty and appropriateness should always be observed, but the assistance itself is permitted. Can a Child Assist an Adult? If the child is old enough to understand how to properly place the Tefillin, and is respectful and calm, he may help. However, ideally, the Tefillin should be placed by an adult, since a child may lack the strength, precision, or awareness needed. Still, in the absence of alternatives—for example, if a young son is helping his elderly father—it is acceptable. May a Non-Jew Help Someone Put On Tefillin? Surprisingly, yes. A non-Jew may assist in the physical placement of the Tefillin—provided that: - The person wearing the Tefillin recites the Beracha - The non-Jew does not interfere with kavana or Beracha - The Tefillin are placed correctly and securely This is relevant in cases of hospital care, where nurses or aides who are not Jewish help position the straps or box. The non-Jew is not fulfilling the Misva, and the Halachic responsibility lies entirely with the person wearing them. However, it is crucial to ensure the Tefillin are not handled disrespectfully, and that the placement is correct. If the non-Jew does not know how to handle them properly, one should avoid asking for help unless truly necessary. What If the Wearer Cannot Wrap the Strap Themselves? If a person cannot wrap the retzuot due to paralysis, amputation, weakness, or other physical limitation, another person may wrap the Tefillin for them. As long as the Bayit is placed properly and the intention and Beracha are performed by the wearer, the Misva is fulfilled. It is best for the wearer to be involved to the extent they can—such as holding the box in place, tightening the strap, or reciting the Beracha before assistance begins. If none of that is possible—for example, a fully paralyzed individual—the helper may do everything, and the person fulfills the Misva mentally, with kavana in the heart. Can the Helper Speak or Interrupt During the Process? While helping another person put on Tefillin, it is best not to speak during the process—from the time of the Beracha on the Shel Yad until after the Shel Rosh is secured. Just like when putting on one's own Tefillin, interruptions are discouraged, unless for a Misva or necessary communication. The helper should be mindful and respectful, preserving the sanctity of the moment. Summary - A person may receive help putting on Tefillin if needed. - The Beracha and kavana must come from the person wearing the Tefillin—not the helper. - A woman, child, or non-Jew may assist if done respectfully and correctly. - The helper does not need to have kavana to fulfill the Misva. - The wearer should be involved as much as possible, even minimally. - Speaking or interrupting during the process should be avoided unless necessary.

Matt qualified for the U.S. Open. Yes, that U.S. Open. And this conversation peels back every layer of what that moment—and the journey leading to it—has meant. From the early days of picking up a club to the moment his name hit the national leaderboard, Matt shares a vulnerable, inspiring, and deeply reflective look at what it takes to chase a seemingly impossible goal while remaining a full-time dentist, business partner, father, and friend. This is about golf—but it's also about identity, mindset, purpose, and being present for the moments that matter.

House Oversight drops bombshell news that it has whistleblower proof that Biden's White House directly assisted Jack Smith's J6 probe into Trump that led to his "election interference" indictment.... and secretly obtained Trump's cell phone. The Supreme Court gives Trump another win and DOGE uncovers billions of dollars (and Medicaid assistance) going to millions of illegals who, yes, have voted in our elections.
