Read OnlineReviving Religious HabitsHe summoned the crowd and said to them, “Hear and understand. It is not what enters one's mouth that defiles that person; but what comes out of the mouth is what defiles one.” Then his disciples approached and said to him, “Do you know that the Pharisees took offense when they heard what you said?” Matthew 15:10–12Jesus' words would have stunned His Jewish listeners because He challenged deeply rooted religious beliefs about purity and impurity. He was not denying the value of external practices when they are rightly understood and ordered. Rather, He was reorienting the discussion toward the interior life—toward the heart, the true source of either moral purity or corruption.This teaching came in response to a question posed by the Pharisees and scribes: “Why do your disciples break the tradition of the elders? They do not wash their hands when they eat a meal” (Matthew 15:2). The “tradition of the elders” referred to a body of oral interpretations and applications of the Mosaic Law, developed over generations. Though intended to safeguard the Law, these traditions had, over time, begun to obscure the heart of God's commandments by placing excessive emphasis on external observances.Jesus responds by shifting the focus to the interior life. What defiles a person, He says, is not the ritual neglect of external customs but the disordered desires, thoughts, and words that proceed from a corrupted heart. Sin is rooted in erroneous thinking and interior disorder, not in ritual nonconformity.Notably, though the disciples expressed concern that Jesus had offended the Pharisees, He remained unmoved. He says of them, “They are blind guides” (Matthew 15:14). Their leadership was detached from the heart of divine truth and the Father's will. Anything not planted by His heavenly Father will be uprooted. Traditions and practices that are not grounded in God's will cannot endure.In this case, the tradition in question—ritually washing hands before meals—was neither good nor evil in itself. Cleanliness, of course, can be a good habit. However, when a symbolic act is treated as if it possesses power to bestow grace or confer purity, apart from one's interior disposition, it becomes a stumbling block. The external act, separated from inner faith and intention, undermines its original purpose.Though the specific customs of first-century Judaism may no longer be practiced, the same principle applies today. Consider, for example, the practice of saying grace before meals. This is a beautiful and commendable habit—but only when it is truly a prayer. Reciting words without thought, attention, or gratitude does not glorify God. Nor does it bring about the blessing we seek. Prayer must always come from a sincere and devout heart.What do you cling to the most—customs, traditions, and habits, or the very heart of God's will? Often, faithfully following God requires that we evaluate, reorder, and strengthen certain habitual practices—even good ones.This especially applies to religious habits: making the Sign of the Cross, praying the Hail Mary or the Our Father, donating to charity, or even attending Sunday Mass. These actions have great spiritual value, but only when united with intentional faith and love. The Mass is indeed the source and summit of our faith, but if we are only externally present while interiorly disengaged from the sacred Mystery before us, we will not receive the fruits of grace that God desires to bestow.Reflect today on the religious habits you practice. Are they merely external customs, or do they express a living faith? Seek to reintegrate heart and habit, so that every prayer, every gesture, every act of charity, and every act of worship flows from a soul sincerely united to the will of God.Most Sacred Heart of Jesus, everything You did flowed from the perfection of love that flooded Your Heart. You did not act out of mere custom or habit, but intentionally and sincerely, doing each act with love that glorified Your Heavenly Father. Please make my heart like Yours, so that all that I do bears fruit and gives You eternal glory. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image via Adobe StockSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Bill McBrayer to trace how a forgotten Kentucky bourbon legacy turns into a living brand, starting with a family story, a trademark deadline, and a mash bill hidden in the historical record. We talk through the hard parts of building a whiskey company the right way, plus the joy of watching family history become something you can taste and share. • the moment a trademark requirement forces real bourbon production • digging up William Harris McBrayer's story and why it matters to bourbon history • finding the 1870 mash bill reference and recreating a high-corn legacy recipe • partnering with Wilderness Trail and using heirloom Bloody Butcher corn • navigating licensing, controlled-state hurdles, and early bottling decisions • securing the Cedar Brook trademark and rebuilding brand identity • visiting and buying land tied to the Cedar Brook distillery site near Lawrenceburg • Whiskey Trust and Prohibition context that shaped Kentucky bourbon brands • walking through the current lineup: legacy mash bill, bottled-in-bond, and weeded bourbon • single barrel releases, Legacy Club access, and expanding distribution Sign up for the legacy club, doesn't cost anything. A family name can disappear from bourbon shelves for decades, but it doesn't have to stay gone. We're joined by Bill McBrayer, president and steward of McBrayer Legacy Spirits, to unpack the true story behind bringing an old Kentucky bourbon lineage back to life and why it started with something as unromantic as a trademark deadline.We talk about the rabbit hole that begins with genealogy research and a historic blog post, then turns into a real distilling plan when Bill learns he has to “use” the brand to keep it. From there, the conversation gets wonderfully specific: an 1870 letter connected to E H Taylor, a high-corn mash bill, heirloom Bloody Butcher red corn, and working with Wilderness Trail to recreate a legacy profile that stands out in today's crowded craft whiskey market.The story also moves beyond the bottle. Bill shares what it takes to navigate licensing, distribution, and the slow economics of aging Kentucky bourbon for 8, 10, or 12 years. We dig into Lawrenceburg history, the Cedar Brook distillery site, the Whiskey Trust era, and how protecting a heritage brand becomes a responsibility, not a hustle.If you care about bourbon history, bottled-in-bond releases, single barrel picks, and building a family-owned whiskey brand with long-term purpose, you'll want this one.

Though President Donald Trump came back to the White House with broad support for his border policies, his Administration's immigration crackdown has been broadly unpopular. The staff writer Jonathan Blitzer spoke with two representatives in Congress about the blowback: Jason Crow, of Colorado, and María Salazar, of Florida. Crow is one of the Democratic Party's recruitment co-chairs for the midterm elections, a role that entails helping candidates figure out what to say about issues that have proved controversial for their party. Salazar, whose district includes much of Miami, is a diehard Trump supporter, but many of her Republican constituents are outraged at how ICE has been operating, and she remains hopeful that the Administration might make a sharp turn. “Mr. President, you've got to change the way when it comes to immigration,” she'd like to tell him. “Otherwise, we're not going to have a Republican Party.” Further listening: “A Member of the ‘Seditious Six' on Reviving the Democratic Party,” an episode of The Political Scene featuring Jason Crow New episodes of The New Yorker Radio Hour drop every Tuesday and Friday.

Many talk about revival but few know what it is or what exactly needs reviving. Revival is a word used by the church as much as the word racist is used by liberals. Just like liberals few even know what they are talking about. This episode helps define revival and clarifies somethings that actually need reviving.

Sony's reported plans to end physical disc production have reignited the debate over digital ownership, game preservation, rising prices, and what players actually own when they purchase a game. We discuss whether a digital-only PlayStation future is inevitable, what it could mean for collectors, and whether many longtime console players would finally move to PC. We also break down the approaching closure of the PS3 and PS Vita stores, Xbox's latest layoffs and studio restructuring, Obsidian's potential future with Fallout and The Elder Scrolls, and whether oversized AAA teams and layers of corporate management are making modern games more expensive and slower to develop. Plus, we discuss Palworld 1.0, Saros, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, the return of the PS3, the absurd price of retro CRT televisions, and whether any video game can truly be considered objectively good or bad.

Send us Fan MailWe sit down with Missy and Joe of Indian Creek Distillery to trace a sixth-generation family whiskey legacy and the hidden copper pot stills that survived Prohibition. We taste frontier-style spirits, talk craft versus efficiency, and explore why Ohio's whiskey story deserves more attention. • the Staley family farm history and why the stills were hidden • what makes double copper pot still distillation slower and more flavorful • direct fire heat, consistency, and why modern control still matters • naming the stills and learning to “know your girls” • Joe's background in engineering, farming, and small business before distilling • navigating federal and Ohio regulations while building a craft distillery • the on-site frontier whiskey experience and why it converts first-time visitors • tasting unaged rye white dog, mash bill, proof, and cocktail uses • the story behind the single surviving pre Prohibition bottle • tasting Bond House bourbon, high corn recipe, small barrel aging, cask strength texture Give a shout out to your website and everything: minifreekdistillery.com. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, we make free distillery, and we have a lot of events.

Whether you listen to us or watch us, make sure you leave us good feedback or become members or leave us super chats and everything.Two hundred year old copper pot stills are not supposed to be “operational,” but at Indian Creek Distillery they are the beating heart of a living Ohio whiskey legacy. We're joined by Missy Staley, a direct descendant of the original distilling family, and Joe, the hands-on distiller who helped bring the operation back in 2011 after the stills were hidden away when Prohibition hit. What follows is part history lesson, part craft masterclass, and part tasting session you can almost smell through your headphones.  We dig into why double copper pot still distillation creates a different spirit than modern column production: slower runs, more character, and those heavier flavor oils that give pot still bourbon and rye a signature mouthfeel. We also talk direct-fire distilling, why they use propane instead of wood, and how “inefficient” can be a feature when your goal is quality and authenticity. Joe shares how an engineering and small-business background helped, but also why the stills themselves teach you if you let them do what they're built to do.  Then we get into the bottles. We taste their unaged rye “white dog” and break down the mash bill and why it works even as a cocktail base. Missy tells the wild story of the one surviving pre-Prohibition bottle in the family, and we finish with a bold Bond House bourbon pour that shows what high-corn recipes and barrel aging can become at cask strength. If you care about craft distilling, historic American whiskey, and the growing Ohio bourbon scene, this conversation is a must.  Subscribe, share the show with a whiskey-loving friend, and leave a review so more people can find these stories.

Minimalist Music (Bloomsbury, 2026) looks critically into the music's past, shows how the genre thrives across styles, and points the way toward minimalism's ongoing future. Minimalism as a genre is best defined not by any style or flavor but by its means. Certain rhythms and chords in other music may identify things like jazz or bossa nova or reggae; take those same elements and put them through the processes of minimalism and you have minimalism with the hues of other musics. A still young genre with ancient roots, minimalism is much less any kind of style than a practice, a manner of making music. Reviving those means and applying them to contemporary sounds and experiences, the pioneers of minimalism created a new and avant-garde music that immediately communicated its power to listeners of all kinds. The global appeal of minimalism and the way the methods adapt to myriad styles open up a view into how music actually works as an art and an experience, how through time it connects in a fundamental way to how we as humans listen. George Grella, Jr. has written about music and culture for over thirty years for print and online publications, and has contributed to the Grove Dictionary of Music and the Library of Congress' National Recording Registry.

AI didn't just change how we work — it raised everyone's vulnerability at the same time. In this episode, Junior and Dr. Tim Clark introduce "universal vulnerability": the reason psychological safety is surging back onto the executive agenda in 2026.Six years after The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety, organizations are coming back with a different problem statement. AI isn't a niche disruption that hits one industry at a time — it touches every role, unpredictably, all at once. And the deepest threat isn't technical, it's about identity: "Who am I now that machines can think?"Junior and Tim break down why psychological safety is the cultural precondition for AI adoption, why most organizations skip straight to workflow and miss the human impact, and how leaders can respond using the AI Readiness Hierarchy and the LIVE model. Even executive teams aren't immune — no one is.If you lead people through change, this is the conversation your AI strategy is missing.Chapters00:00 The "RIF culture" and a new wave of change00:53 Six years since The 4 Stages of Psychological Safety02:32 What "universal vulnerability" actually means03:19 Psychological safety as an individual journey03:50 How AI adds a universal layer of vulnerability04:56 Why every role gets touched — and why it's unpredictable08:26 The real threat: identity disruption, not technical disruption10:00 The AI Readiness Hierarchy (from Chapter 5)11:09 Measuring vulnerability with the PS Index12:50 Psychological safety: the cultural precondition for AI adoption13:22 The "leapfrog to workflow" mistake14:12 The LIVE model: Look, Identify, Validate, Encourage15:18 Why the sequence matters18:26 Why executive teams aren't immune either19:41 Naming the exhaustion — and giving people permission to feel it20:22 Where to go next: the book and course previewsResources

To mark 250 years of American independence, we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: our sit-down with Josh Shapiro, the American independent watchmaker behind the Resurgence — the only watch that currently meets the U.S. Federal Trade Commission's standard for "Made in America." It's a fitting week to ask a question that feels newly urgent in an era of tariffs and reshoring: what would it actually take to bring watchmaking back to the United States at scale? Josh takes us from the industry's staggering height — when American factories employed over 100,000 people and produced millions of chronometer-grade watches a year, so far ahead that the Swiss crossed the Atlantic in 1876 to study our methods and race to catch up — through the forces that dismantled it: the pivot from pocket watches to wristwatches, an aggressive Swiss cartel, Depression-era trade deals, and a postwar collapse that was already terminal long before the quartz crisis delivered the final blow. Along the way he explains why the single hardest thing to rebuild isn't machinery or capital, but people, and why "Swiss Made" and "Made in America" are two very different promises. Told through the lens of building the Resurgence in his Los Angeles workshop — the CNC machines, the $150,000 balance-staff breakthrough, the North Dakota jeweler he coaxed out of retirement — this is a clear-eyed look at the slow, deliberate work of rebuilding an industry from the roots up, and what any of us can do to support it. Openwork is a weekly podcast about how the watch industry actually works. An unfiltered look behind the scenes — no press releases, no hype, and no sponsored takes.

In this episode of the Can We Talk? R&B podcast, host Ian Von sits down with rising R&B/pop girl group 3Quency to talk about the modern resurgence of groups, building real sisterhood in the music industry, and carving out their own lane after their breakout on Netflix's Building the Band. They share how they formed “Love Is Blind–style” in pods without seeing each other, the pressure and beauty of carrying the legacy of 90s and 2000s girl groups, and how they navigate vocal health, touring, social media narratives, and independence as young artists. From stories of performing with lost voices and sprained ankles, to late-night “girls talk” that turned into a whole project, this conversation is a deep dive into authenticity, unity, and what it really takes to be a group in 2026. The ladies also perform a live a cappella snippet (Brandy's “Have You Ever”), talk through their creative process as songwriters, and reveal the powerful meaning behind their name, 3Quency.

Reviving a Marching Band Legacy: How Teachers Build Community in Forest Lake | The Kindness Chronicles Steve and Jeff fill in for John and discuss Steve's volunteer experience at the Special Olympics USA Games ESPN Unified Sports Challenge at Allianz Field, where he accompanied producer Jimmy "Jam" Harris and various celebrity sideline coaches. They then welcome Forest Lake educators Jake Matheson and Katie DuBois to discuss how music and marching band create belonging as the U.S. nears its 250th birthday. Jake recounts starting on tuba, being mentored by teachers like Sandy Briggs and Rich Hahn, advocating to restore Forest Lake's marching band, and later rebuilding it in 2016 from a program that had disappeared to 140 members, supported by fundraising and scholarships.

Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Matt Soule, Founder and CEO of Parallel Systems, joined Grayson Brulte on The Road to Autonomy podcast to discuss how Parallel Systems is building the internet of freight by combing autonomy and rail.To date the company has raised nearly $100 million and secured Federal Railroad Administration clearance to test its autonomous rail vehicles on 160 miles of track in Georgia. Parallel's technology integrates directly into back-office railroad dispatch networks, operating like air traffic control so vehicles respect unique track authority and never conflict with traditional freight trains.By replacing mechanical couplers with software-managed bumpers, platoons of up to 50 vehicles form and break apart on the move, splitting off to separate destinations or peeling away to keep grade crossings open. Today, Parallel is now ramping production of its commercial Gen 3 vehicle, which advances past the Gen 2 prototype by hauling up to 160,000 pounds at speeds over 60 mph on an innovative, low-cost bent steel chassis. TThe electric propulsion system is built to revitalize unprofitable short-haul routes under 500 miles by lowering the lane density a railroad needs to justify service. Shifting heavy freight to rail gives shippers pricing stability against volatile diesel spikes, delivers granular tracking visibility, and creates a new ecosystem of local maintenance and remote supervisory jobs while decongesting highway traffic around major ports.To address a growing 300-vehicle backlog, Parallel is expanding manufacturing to a contract facility in Michigan while eyeing international expansion.Episode Chapters00:00 Parallel Systems Raises $100m2:33 Autonomous Rail5:14 Reviving the Inland Ports, Jobs, and Manufacturing10:37 Diesel Volatility12:31 Gen 3 Vehicle17:08 Why Rail21:54 Commercial Operations25:57 The Internet of Freight31:54 What's Next35:28 AUTNMY AI--------About The Road to AutonomyThe Road to Autonomy is the leading applied intelligence platform covering the convergence of automation, autonomy, and the Autonomy Economy.™.Through our podcasts, newsletter, Indices and proprietary applied intelligence, we set the narrative for institutional investors, industry executives, and policymakers navigating the convergence of automation, autonomy, and economic growth.Join institutional investors and industry leaders who read This Week in The Autonomy Economy every Sunday.

About the Show:"I always want to have that posture of, like, what can I learn? How can I grow?" – Danielle KellerDanielle Keller didn't plan on becoming the steward of Northwest Arkansas's most beloved family magazine. She moved from California to Arkansas, built a life here as a mother and filmmaker, and somewhere along the way fell in love with the kind of community storytelling that big media rarely gets right.In this episode of I Am Northwest Arkansas®, Randy Wilburn sits down with Danielle to talk about her journey—from film and podcasting to relaunching Peekaboo Magazine in August 2025 with a bigger, higher-quality print edition that bets on something most people have written off.She makes the case for print in a digital world. Not as nostalgia. As intention.Personal essays from local parents, in-person community events, and real voices from across NWA — Peekaboo is proof that a magazine can still be a gathering place. This conversation is a reminder that the stories closest to home are often the ones worth telling most.Key Takeaways:Embrace Change and Growth: It's never too late to start something new or pivot your career—real growth often happens later in life.The Importance of Storytelling: Personal stories connect people and help communities feel seen, valued, and understood.Relationships Matter: Building relationships is key to both personal success and community building; everyone has something to offer.The Power of Local Media: Hyper-local publications like Peekaboo give a platform to everyday stories and voices that otherwise might not be heard.Print Isn't Dead: There's a renewed appreciation for tangible, high-quality media that people can hold, share, and keep on their coffee tables.Community Support: Sharing vulnerable stories can lead to compassion and real community action, supporting those who need it most.Be Inclusive: Not everyone is an extrovert—seek out and include those on the fringe, and help everyone feel welcome.All this and more on this episode of the I Am Northwest Arkansas® podcast.Important Links and Mentions on the Show*Peekaboo magazine websitePeekaboo magazine on Facebook:Peekaboo magazine on LinkedIn:Peekaboo magazine on Instagram: @peekaboomagazinenwaPeople of Northwest Arkansas PodcastFayetteville Public LibraryDogpatch USA (featured in Danielle Keller's documentary work)John Brown University (JBU)Bentonville Film FestivalParkside Public (casual date night spot)Confident Coffee (favorite coffee shop)You can pick up a physical copy of Peekaboo magazine at local libraries, museums, and family-focused spots throughout Northwest Arkansas—from Fayetteville to Bella Vista and Siloam Springs.This episode is sponsored by*Signature Bank of Arkansas "Community Banking at its Best!"*Note: some of the resources mentioned may be affiliate links.
