Are you giving yourself credit for the brave things you do every day? Could small acts of courage be the key to building lasting confidence? And what's one courageous thing you've done lately that made you grow?In this solo episode of The Courage To Be™—a podcast that explores real-life stories of resilience, growth, and finding strength when it matters most—I'm launching a new series focused on personal reflections and lessons from my own journey. I explore the link between courage and confidence, the importance of stepping outside your comfort zone, and why both big and small acts of bravery matter. I also share a powerful moment from a recent event, where a woman stood up to speak despite her anxiety and not having taken her medication—an inspiring reminder that courage often shows up quietly, but powerfully.

Diverse Voices Book Review host Hopeton Hay interviewed Shelley Fisher Fishkin, author of JIM: The Life and Afterlives of Huckleberry Finn's Comrade. In the interview she highlights the irony in Twain's portrayal of Jim, contrasting Huck's limited understanding with Twain's deeper critique of society. Fishkin emphasizes the need for teachers to be well-prepared to teach "Huckleberry Finn," addressing its complex themes. Fishkin also discusses the contributions of notable Black writers Ralph Wiley and Ralph Ellison to the interpretation of Twain's work.Shelley Fisher Fishkin is the Joseph S. Atha Professor of the Humanities, professor of English, and (by courtesy) professor of African and African American Studies at Stanford University.Diverse Voices Book Review Social Media:Facebook - @diversevoicesbookreviewInstagram - @diverse_voices_book_reviewEmail: hbh@diversevoicesbookreview.com

Episode 9 – If Anybody Knows About the Grace of JesusSometimes we look at ourselves and see a big pile of nothing. Yet, when God looks through eyes of His grace, He sees purpose. Not a purpose that I'm supposed to carry out on my own, but with Him…through Him…in relationship with Him.

Gus Clemens on Wine explores and explains the world of wine in simple, humorous, fun posts
This is the weekly newspaper column.When to decant 2-23-2022Newspaper readers and online followers know of my advocacy of decanting—pouring wine into a vessel to expose it to air to soften tannins and encourage wine to “open up” and become more balanced.Same time, decanting is not a panacea for flawed wines, often is unnecessary, and potentially can harm some wines. So, what is a wine drinker to do?Think of the inveterate inventor Thomas Edison. The holder of 1,093 patents had an unusual method of evaluating potential employees. He presented soup to the job applicant.Thomas Edison (goodfreephotos.com)Edison carefully observed when soup was served as part of a larger meal. If the job seeker immediately applied salt and pepper, he was rejected. If he tasted the soup first, he had an employment chance.Edison reasoned he did not want employees who relied on assumptions and preconceived notions. Edison believed a lack of curiosity and an unwillingness to ask questions and test a situation was not the trait of an inventor. How could you know if seasoning was needed if you had not first tasted the soup?And so it goes with wine and decanting. Pull the cork or twist off the cap, pour, give it a swirl, smell, and taste. If it is a little tight and tannic, give it some more swirls and a few minutes in the glass. If the wine still has not come around, pour the wine into a decanter and let oxidation do its thing.The majority of the value and mid-level wines you drink do not need to be decanted. If you buy multiples of the same bottle or have certain go-to wines you drink regularly, you likely know before opening which wines are fine on pop-and-pour and which benefit from decanting, especially if you experimented.Older wines may benefit from decanting to avoid gritty sediment in the glass, but such wines do not fare well with prolonged exposure to air. Decant and drink them right away.Decanting can do wonders for wine when needed. It is unnecessary when not needed.Tasting notes:• Plungerhead Old Vine Zinfandel, Lodi 2018: Profusion of ripe red fruits, 16% of which is parade of non-zin that gives this unexpected depth and complexity. $13-15 Link to my review• Sanford Rosé of Pinot Noir, Sta.

I talk about how social media is affecting me at the moment, what I am doing to change it and how I am going to use social media in the future. This is a raw and honest episode and I hope that it can help listeners recognise the signs of social media addiction and overuse of social media apps.If you want to reach out and let me know if you found this episode helpful or you are struggling I'd love to hear from you email me hello@lauraomahony.comLinks from the show:How to Leave a review & get a "shoutout for your business" :http://lauraomahony.com/reviewEmail me: hello@lauraomahony.com__________________________________All previous episodes of the podcast are here: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1074400#socialmediaoverwhelm, #socialmediaaddication, #negativesocialmediaeffects #socialmedia, #instagramaddiction #phoneaddiction #socialmediaanxiety
Has anyone ever confided in you, “I’m deconstructing”? Maybe you don’t know the phrase, but you know the phenomenon. Yet another social-media post announces departure from the Christian faith. The cause could be sex, race, politics, social justice, science, hell, or all of the above. For many, Christianity is becoming implausible, even impossible to believe. It might be tempting to leave the church in order to find answers, but the new book Before You Lose Your Faith: Deconstructing Doubt in the Church (The Gospel Coalition) argues that church should be the best place to deal with doubts. Deconstructing need not end in unbelief. In fact, deconstructing can be the road toward reconstructing—building up a more mature, robust faith that grapples honestly with the deepest questions of life.Karen Swallow Prior, Jay Y. Kim, and Derek Rishmawy joined me on Gospelbound to discuss deconstruction and the hope that lies in the person and work of Jesus.Gospelbound Book Giveaway Entry Steps: Write a review about the Gospelbound podcast on Apple Podcasts (reviews can take up to 48 hours to appear in the ratings and review section, so be sure to check back after that time period to see your review)Take a screenshot of your reviewEmail us your screenshot to podcasts@thegospelcoalition.org by Friday, April 23We'll pick the first 10 entries on April 23 to receive a free copy of Gospelbound, the book.This episode of Gospelbound is sponsored by The Good Book Company, publisher of Brave by Faith by Alistair Begg.
