The city of St. Paul is looking to revitalize the greater east side neighborhood and it's starting with a new name for its business district. The “Bear Larp” district is the new identity for the business corridor at White Bear Avenue and Larpenteur Avenue. The Greater East Side Community Council is spearheading the project and its executive director Lisa Theis joined Minnesota Now to talk more about it.

You could just close your church and sell the property. That would be the easiest thing. So why do you want to revitalize? It will be hard and it will not be the same when it is stronger, healthier and with more people. So what is your reason for doing it? What will give you the grit to continue when it gets really hard? Hopefully this episode will help you answer that question.   Check out previous episodes in this series: Why Church Decline? https:scottgress.com scottgress@me.com

We were acquired by Promptly Journals, where I now create prompted journals and educate people on the power and science behind writing for wellbeing.I'm working on two novels: A dual timeline women's fiction based on a tiny village I fell in love with in the English countryside, and a contemporary romance set in a quaint New England bookstore.Some obsessions: Hiking, BBC dramas, and putting on my pajamas.I started Talk Wordy to Me in 2016 as a place to build community around reading and writing.

Pastoral ministry is deeply rewarding—but it can also be deeply stressful. In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant Podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst talk openly about five common anxieties pastors face and offer biblical encouragement and practical wisdom for navigating them faithfully.

In this episode, we discuss: Anxiety about church growth and attendance Anxiety about your family and balancing ministry at home Anxiety about personal finances and financial stability Anxiety about preaching and sermon preparation Anxiety about church conflict and leadership challenges Whether you're a church planter, revitalization pastor, or long-term shepherd in a small church, this episode will remind you that you're not alone—and that God is faithful in every season of ministry.

For the past several years, Columbia Sportswear's marketing was indistinguishable from the rest of the category. It wasn't until August last year that it adopted a much bolder strategy, bringing a distinct edge to all of its campaigns. "Engineered for Whatever" painted a different picture of the great outdoors, positioning it as a cruel and deadly mistress, and Columbia products as armor in a battle against death itself. Since then, the brand has brought that edge to a variety of campaigns. Matt Sutton, senior VP and head of marketing at Columbia Sportswear, joined this week's edition of the Marketer's Brief podcast to discuss this work and advise brands interested in making a similarly drastic pivot.

About the Author:Born and raised in Perth, Western Australia. Ryan graduated from John Curtin College of the Arts before later taking on a career as a drag queen. Through drag, Ryan found a love for cabaret, burlesque and circus. Relocating to the United Kingdom (March 2017) to further pursue the arts, Ryan hit the cabaret scene with a bang, hosting sell-out shows at Edinburgh Fringe and producing his own weekly resident show in London's Kings Cross, as his alter ego Vicious Von Vixen. He worked his way into programming on the West End for the world's largest theatre company ATG and gave away hosting entirely, wrapped up and all-consumed in the glittering world of A-Lister star casts, both confronting classics and new world-class come five-star reviewed plays, alongside debuting global musical hits transferring from / to Broadway! After a couple of years Ryan found his way to the UK's leading entertainment and production company Underbelly, where he still works today, representing its first and only permanent venue in central London — Underbelly Boulevard Soho! All Ryan's written work is inspired and motivated by lived experience in the theatre and cabaret industries, as well as diversity… from his own situations as a pansexual, genderqueer deemed “man”, seven-years polyamorous but now happily married and monogamous — devoted to his non-binary wife — Ryan hopes to bring whatever little change he can to the world, by writing exciting, thrilling, magical and engaging yet horrific stories, to intrigue a wider range of readers before enlighten them with characters that expose and provide awareness to ways of life outside the patriarchal created world that has set society norms and showcase the possibilities to readers of the different paths they can take.Book Blurb:A lost soul.A vaudeville that comes with an extra price for entry.Grief.

In a world full of online sermons, Christian podcasts, and celebrity preachers, why does the local church pastor still matter most? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant Podcast, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst share five biblical and practical reasons why God's design for spiritual growth centers on the local church—and the shepherd He has called to lead it. While podcasts and online sermons can be helpful resources, they can never replace the personal shepherding, accountability, and spiritual oversight of a local pastor. Your congregation doesn't just need inspiration—they need incarnation. In this episode, we discuss: Why a local church pastor knows your story, struggles, and spiritual needs The difference between shepherding and simply inspiring How growing under the same preaching builds unity in the congregation Why supporting your pastor strengthens the entire church God's design for spiritual formation through the local church If you're a pastor navigating the influence of online ministry or a church member tempted to substitute digital sermons for faithful church involvement, this conversation will encourage you to embrace the beauty and responsibility of local church leadership.

Story Synopsis:   The Devil & The Details is a dark, emotionally charged slow-burn romance that blurs the line between love and danger. After escaping a past built on control and silence, Bethany Martin is a woman learning to trust again when she meets Kevin Sinclair, whose calm warmth feels like redemption. Their connection is instant—magnetic, consuming, impossible to ignore. But the more she lets him in, the more the truth beneath his tenderness begins to surface.What begins as healing turns into something far more complicated. Boundaries blur, and the intensity that once felt safe begins to smother. Bethany, torn between desire and dread, realizes that some love stories aren't meant to save you—they're meant to destroy you.Told with haunting intimacy and cinematic tension, The Devil & The Details explores how easily passion can become possession and how survival sometimes means walking away from the person who swore to protect you. Because sometimes the devil doesn't come to destroy you; he comes disguised as everything you ever wanted.About the Author — Kelly R. NelsonKelly R.

When the marquee lights of the Castro Theater dimmed two years ago, many worried that this grande dame of cinema would never be the same. Now after a $41 million renovation, the 104-year old SF icon is ready for its coming out party. The organ has been refurbished, the ceiling cleaned, and hidden gems, like a gold proscenium have been discovered. No longer just a movie house, the theater will host both films and musical acts, including a sold out 20-night stand by Sam Smith. As music venues and movie theaters continue to close post-pandemic, we talk about what the theater's renewal and reopening means for nightlife and the arts in San Francisco. Guests: Gabe Meline, senior editor, KQED Arts and Culture Tom DeCaigny, program officer of performing arts, Hewlett Foundation; former director of cultural affairs for the City and County of San Francisco, where he led the San Francisco Arts Commission Mary Conde, senior vice president, Another Planet Entertainment Gabrielle Armand, CEO, SF Jazz Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Revitalize and Replant, Mark Clifton, Mark Hallock, and Dan Hurst discuss why church buildings still matter in today's ministry contexts. From fostering community presence to supporting worship gatherings, they explore how physical church spaces can serve both congregations and their neighborhoods—especially in under-resourced communities. In this episode, you'll learn three key reasons church buildings still matter: Every community needs a sacred space : why visible, physical churches remain a powerful gospel witness in local neighborhoods A place for the corporate gathering: how church buildings support biblical worship, preaching, ordinances, and discipleship A central space for under-resourced communities: the role church facilities play in serving practical needs and strengthening community life This conversation is especially helpful for church planters, revitalization pastors, and church leaders thinking strategically about facilities, mission, and long-term ministry impact.

She expects her best friends to support her, but they prioritize parties, hookups, and popularity instead.Left behind, Dani meets Kevin Martin, an outsider who seems to give her everything her world is missing. Until betrayal cuts deep, leaving her reeling once more. Dani's circle keeps reshaping again and again: new friends like Ryan O'Leary offer comfort, while old wounds resurface.Through each season of high school, Dani is tested through heartbreak, mistakes, and hilarious missteps, as she wrestles with who she is and who she wants to be.Told in a unique blend of letters and chapters,  HIGH SCHOOL EPIC captures the chaos of teenage life in the early 1990s with raw honesty, humor, and heart. BIO Psychotherapist by day and writer by night, award-winning author Hannah R. Goodman prefers tea over coffee, cats over dogs, and staying in over going out. Her newest YA novel, High School Epic, captures the chaos of teenage life in the early 1990s with raw honesty, humor, and heart. Her other recent book, New Adult romance I Love That Girl, has been praised as "simultaneously joyous, sexy, and uncertain."  Her contemporary YA romance novel Till It Stops Beating, published in 2018, was praised by Literary Titan for "tackling a difficult issue like anxiety and making a story that was funny and sweet without making light of the issue." Though released as a stand-alone book, Till It Stops Beating is the fourth book in The Maddie Chronicles series. The Maddie Chronicles began with her first book, My Sister's Wedding, which won first place in the 2004 Writer's Digest Self-Published Books Awards Children's/Teen Division. She published the follow-up, My Summer Vacation, in May 2006, which went on to win a bronze IPPY in 2007. The third Maddie book, Fear of Falling, was released in the fall of 2009 and was praised by teachers and readers for tackling subjects like homophobia and coming out. She currently writes about writing, publishing, and mental health on her Substack called Writing My Way Through It.    Follow Hannah here: https://linktr.ee/hannahrgoodmanAbout Victoria:Hey there, I'm Victoria!

And facing her, and the life she built without him, is more than he can bear.Stuck together under the same roof, Avonlea and Jamie are forced to face everything they lost—and the truth they once promised each other.Connect and follow J.A Forde here: LINKSAbout Victoria:Hey there, I'm Victoria!

How can a pastor discern whether it's time to step aside for the health of a declining church? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock continue their discussion of an article by Chuck Lawless, focusing on deeper, more sobering indicators that a pastor may have stayed too long in one place. This conversation offers honest reflection for pastors, church leaders, and revitalization teams navigating leadership fatigue, declining momentum, and difficult transition decisions. In this episode, you'll learn additional signs that a pastor may have stayed too long: The church has lost passion and excitement for its mission and ministry. The remaining congregation consists primarily of long-term members with no new growth or generational reach. Financial survival—paying the bills—has overshadowed ministry and mission. The pastor increasingly isolates himself from the church family. The pastor becomes resigned to allowing the church to die on his watch. This episode is especially relevant for pastors serving in declining churches, those considering church revitalization or replanting, and leadership teams seeking wisdom about healthy pastoral transitions.

Revitalize I Resettle: How Main Street USA Can Offer New Beginnings for America’s Climate-Displaced by Hillary Brown Hillarybrown.net https://www.amazon.com/Revitalize-Resettle-Beginnings-Americas-Climate-Displaced/dp/B0DZDZRJDH A Bold New Chapter for Reviving Our Rural Towns and Small Cities: Helping in Future to Resettle Our Own Climate Refugees Revitalize I Resettle explores of two of America’s pervasive challenges-the economic decline and depopulation of rural towns and small legacy cities and the impending mass displacement of Americans due to increasing climate chaos. It envisions ways forward in the nexus between these two concerns. The book offers a compelling perspective on the need to address the urban-rural rift. It presents well-conceived, holistic strategies for the revitalization of these places, aiming to restore rural economic vigor and advance sustainability. It also looks ahead to the prospect of climate-driven migration. It paints a sobering picture of the looming crisis yet also provides a glimmer of optimism. It suggests that by improving rural prosperity and social equity, we can establish resilient communities in parts of the country that can safely and willingly welcome and resettle many of those displaced by climate change in the not-too-distant future. Revitalize I Resettle is not merely a theoretical exploration; it is a call to action. The book provides a pragmatic approach to these complex issues, suggesting creative solutions that are equitable, resilient, and adaptable. The author argues that rejuvenated heartland towns and small cities can not only mitigate the effects of socioeconomic disparity but also provide tangible support for many Americans dislodged by the climate crisis in the coming decades. Through its in-depth analysis and examples of innovative revitalization strategies, the book serves as a blueprint for building a more resilient and equitable future for all Americans. In essence, Revitalize I Resettle is a crucial and timely resource.

Why should pastors and church leaders invest in revitalizing dying churches instead of closing their doors? In this episode of the Revitalize & Replant podcast, Mark Clifton and Mark Hallock unpack the biblical, missional, and practical reasons why church revitalization and replanting are vital to the health of local congregations and their communities. This conversation explores the heart behind revitalization and why declining churches remain important to God, their communities, and the Great Commission. In this episode, you'll learn why church revitalization is important because: Revitalization creates gospel opportunities for people to come to faith in Jesus Christ.

Whether you are a pastor considering church revitalization, a leader in a struggling congregation, or someone exploring church replanting, this episode offers encouragement and clarity for the journey.

Merry Christmas from the Revitalize and Replant podcast. In part 2 of our Christmas Special, Dan Hurst shares a personal and powerful Christmas story from his childhood as a missionary kid in Honduras, reflecting on what Christmas looks like in the midst of uncertainty, hardship, and fear. Set during a season of political unrest and darkness, this story centers on a simple, candlelit children's Christmas program in a small church with no electricity—and a child's quiet declaration: “This year for Christmas, I need peace.” That moment became a lasting reminder that Christmas is not about what we want, but about what we need—and that true peace and hope are found in Christ alone. Whether you are listening as a pastor, a church planter, or with your family during the Christmas season, we pray this story encourages your heart and points you to the lasting peace that only Jesus can provide.

Merry Christmas from the Revitalize and Replant podcast. In part 1 of our Christmas Special, Dan Hurst reads Luke 2, sharing the story of Christmas and recounting the birth of Jesus Christ and the good news first announced to the shepherds. This familiar passage reminds us that the Savior entered the world in humility—wrapped in swaddling cloths and laid in a manger because there was no room for Him at the inn. Yet heaven itself rejoiced, declaring, “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace among those with whom he is pleased.” As the shepherds hurried to Bethlehem to see what the Lord had made known to them, they found Mary, Joseph, and the baby lying in a manger. Mary treasured these things and pondered them in her heart, inviting us to pause and reflect on the wonder and meaning of Christ's coming. Whether you are listening as a pastor, a church planter, or with your family during the Christmas season, we pray this Scripture reading draws your heart back to the hope, peace, and joy found in Jesus.

Having brands of his own, along with his Amazon knowledge working under the nine figure brand, combining those together is how House of arms was born. Where Mark can help is to optimize your products and brand not only for the outside world, but mainly on Amazon, which is its own ecosystem in itself. So welcome to the podcast, Mark.Mark 00:00:41  Thank you very much. Yeah. Good morning. How are you?Josh 00:00:44  Hey, I'm doing great. Thanks again for joining me. And I apologize for my voice, both to the listeners and to yourself. I lost my voice coaching, hockey practice and yelling, shouting at the kids. because there's multiple teams on the ice. So you have to speak relatively loud.Josh 00:01:03  And, it did my voice in, that's for sure. So I apologize about that.Mark 00:01:07  Oh, good. Yeah. No worries.Josh 00:01:09  Mark, you've studied the algorithm for seven years. You I would argue you would consider yourself an expert when it comes to ranking products on Amazon. So tell us, you know, can you break down the Amazon algorithm to our listeners and tell us what you are seeing that Amazon cares about when it comes to ranking products today?Mark 00:01:31  So if you have another six hours, I could do well, I could go in depth. no. But so yeah, there's a lot I mean, well, first of all, a lot of things change within the Amazon algorithm. Many, many things like it's always changing, evolving and growing and it's there's so much to it. But what I always like to break it down and explain to people in a very simple way is that every little thing that the shopper does, Amazon takes into account, and what that means is every little thing from how you clicked and how you even got.Mark 00:02:02  How you even got to Amazon, you know, backing up all the way there, how you got to Amazon, what keyword you search when you got there, how long like every little point in detail. So really. So we we really broke it down and saw okay. So someone goes on the listing onto Amazon. Where do they come from. Do they come from a Facebook ad. Do they come from a referral from let's say, WhatsApp from their friend? and then once they once they're on Amazon, what what keyword do they type in? Once they type in the keyword, how long were they on the results page for? Once you're on the results page, what listings did they click? So meaning did they just click on yours and others? Do they go on others and then yours? Or was it just yours now and on the listing. Right. So let's say I type in sports water bottle and I click on your listing. Now how long are you on the listing for. Is it just you saw it and you add it to cart right away and you're done.Mark 00:02:51  It was an instant purchase. or was it something that you engaged with the listing. So Amazon looks if they engage with the listing and they looked at the reviews and the pictures and they really invested five minutes under the listing to look at it and do everything and added it to cart. That's where you're going to get the success because Amazon sees that you really invest the time. So all these small little details app is what Amazon takes into account with their algorithm. And that's what gives you kind of like the power. But there's a lot obviously a lot more to it. But just just to break it down for you on kind of what it insists.Josh 00:03:26  Yeah, I love that. Let's go back to. You mentioned launching your product first via FBM, and that you're saying that the honeymoon period doesn't really start until it goes into FBA. So my question with that is, you know, I guess you have data to back that up. Is that true?Mark 00:03:45  Yeah, we've tested it out and we've saw that once it hits FBA and it's available to be shipped, then that's when Amazon's going to start pushing your listing.Mark 00:03:53  Right now if it's FBM they're not going to push your listing. They want they want to show the results which are the people that they can click and order right now. And it's going to get to them in two days or less.Josh 00:04:03  Okay, so when you launch via FBM, is your conversion rate lower during that time? Because people aren't being aren't able to get their product in two days, right?Mark 00:04:14  Probably would be lower, yes. Because everyone looks for that prime badge w...

"Cities across the globe have experienced urban blight, where districts that have seen a significant downturn in fortunes are abandoned, residential and business properties left vacant. Responding to this change in fortunes is becoming an industry in itself."What Causes Urban Blight -And What Can Be Done About it" ~ February 2023  blog.bluebeam.comMy Guest This Week Has Success in helping Real Estate Properties & Communities RevitalizeBlighted is a powerful narrative about the decades-long decay and remarkable two-year reinvention of Summerdale, an aging apartment community located in one of Atlanta's grittiest corridors. From burnt-out, mold-infested buildings to traumatized classrooms, Blighted unfolds in the voices of ruthless drug dealers, phantom tenants, fearless landlords, the working poor, educators, and visionary local leaders.After purchasing the property from an absentee overseas owner, Marjy Stagmeier and her partners methodically tackled the crisis festering inside the gated 244-unit apartment property. Two years of relentless work later, Stagmeier reveals how the team that she led built community from chaos. Through on-the-ground, in-the-moment interviews with a wide range of stakeholders, Stagmeier demonstrates how marginalized housing perpetuates intergenerational poverty and the collapse of nearby public schools while showing the multifaceted challenges of improving dire living conditions.Blighted offers a unique insider perspective of the political, human, and economic challenges of delivering equitable housing in a market fueled by inflationary prices, insatiable demand, and competing and often dubious agendas. Summerdale's success is a bright model of how affordable housing, education, healthcare, and social capital can interconnect to build vibrant, sustainable communities―affordable housing communities, nearby schools, and the community at large. From there, kids, families, working people, and neighborhoods can thrive.© 2025 Building Abundant Success!!2025 All Rights ReservedJoin Me on ~ iHeart Radio @ https://tinyurl.com/iHeartBASSpot Me on Spotify: https://tinyurl.com/yxuy23baAmazon Music ~ https://tinyurl.com/AmzBASAudacy:  https://tinyurl.com/BASAud
