The Fruit of the Spirit is the same for all of us love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control but how each one grows, shows up, and stretches us is real personal. In this episode we unpack what it looks like to walk those nine traits out in real life, from seasons of strength to moments of struggle. We get honest about working through weak spots, letting the Holy Spirit shape us from the inside out, and recognizing that not all fruit ripens at once. Whether you're flourishing or still figuring it out, this convo reminds you that growth may look different for every journey, but the goal is still good fruit and it's always possible.Dallas – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/your-favorite-aunties-podcast-18-event-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DA4D82B52Dallas VIP Add-On – July 26:https://concerts.livenation.com/vip-meet-greet-add-on-your-dallas-texas-07-26-2025/event/0C00624DFE213929⸻Are you loving our skin?

Tuore äiti Donnah Winger surmattiin omassa kodissaan vuonna 1995. Donnahin mies Mark kertoi poliiseille, että heidän perhettään häiriköinyt mies oli surmannut Donnahin ja yrittäessään pelastaa vaimoaan Mark oli ampunut miehen kuoliaaksi. Rikos katsottiin selvitetyksi hyvin nopeasti, mutta joitakin vuosia myöhemmin poliisit saivat uutta tietoa, jonka perusteella tapauksen tutkinta avattiin uudestaan. * Tiedäthän, että tämä kuuntelemasi jakso on podcastin alkuvaiheilta.

The inaugural episode of our 2025 Summer Drive-In series commences with a critical examination of the 2005 cinematic endeavor, *Fantastic Four*, a film that presently garners a less than favorable score of approximately 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. Kevin Schaeffer and Evan Garcia embark upon a quest to unearth the redeeming qualities within this ostensibly flawed production, which serves as a nostalgic reflection of its era. In this episode, we delve into the film's narrative structure, character portrayals, and the overarching themes that define the superhero genre during the early 2000s. As we dissect the various elements that contribute to its low critical reception, we also seek to appreciate aspects that may have been overlooked or undervalued in contemporary discourse. Join us as we explore whether *Fantastic Four* merits its critical standing, and perhaps discover that even the most derided films possess a glimmer of merit.The commencement of our 2025 Summer Drive-In series presents an engaging examination of the 2005 film *Fantastic Four*, a cinematic endeavor that has garnered the dubious distinction of a low rating on Rotten Tomatoes—less than 30%. In this episode, co-hosts Kevin Schaeffer and Evan Garcia embark on a reflective journey, analyzing the film in the context of its time while drawing parallels to the much-anticipated upcoming *Fantastic Four* movie from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. This exploration seeks to illuminate the film's narrative and thematic elements that have contributed to its enduring reputation as a 'rotten film'. As we delve into the intricacies of the film's plot, character development, and visual effects, we engage in an honest dialogue about our personal histories with the film, offering insights that span from nostalgia to critical disappointment. The discussion thoughtfully navigates through the film's opening scene—a business pitch rather than an action-packed introduction—setting the stage for a narrative that often falters in its execution. We scrutinize the film's reliance on outdated tropes and its struggles with dialogue that occasionally borders on the absurd, yet we remain committed to uncovering the film's merits amidst its widespread derision. In a broader sense, this episode serves as a commentary on the nature of film criticism itself, challenging our listeners to reassess their perceptions of so-called 'bad' films. As we explore the complexities of *Fantastic Four*, we invite our audience to engage with the film through a critical lens, fostering a dialogue about the potential for redemption in even the most maligned cinematic works. Join us as we embark on this summer-long journey through the realm of 'rotten films', discovering the hidden treasures that may lie within.Takeaways: In this inaugural episode of our Summer Drive-In series, we delve into the 2005 film Fantastic Four, exploring its status as a 'rotten film' with a score below 30% on Rotten Tomatoes. We analyze the film's origin story, noting its slow and unengaging opening scene, where a business pitch sets the tone rather than an action-packed introduction. The episode highlights the contrast between childhood nostalgia and contemporary critiques, revealing how our perceptions of the film have evolved over time. Throughout the discussion, we uncover the film's myriad shortcomings, particularly in its dialogue and character development, which contribute to its low Rotten Tomatoes score. Despite its flaws, we acknowledge some redeeming qualities, such as the casting choices, particularly Michael Chiklis's portrayal of Ben Grimm, which stands out in an otherwise mediocre production. As we embark on this series focused on 'rotten films', we aim to uncover the hidden merits within these cinematic disappointments, starting with our examination of Fantastic Four. .We discuss all this and...

Today's story is about a rotten apple - but not only a rotten apple but about gossip as well.                               ________________________________________________ Did you hear about Anya?” Ruth looked up from her reading book to see her friend Eliza next to her.  “What did you say?” Ruth asked.  “Shh! Keep your voice down!” Eliza whispered. “I asked if you'd heard about what Anya did.” “No? What happened?” Ruth asked.  “She cheated on the Bible quiz we had before lunch!” Eliza hissed. Ruth was shocked. She didn't know Anya very well, but she knew Anya was one of the smartest girls in their class, and she was especially good at knowing a lot of things from the Bible. Why would she need to cheat?  “Are you sure?” Ruth asked slowly.  “I'm positive!” Eliza said. “William saw her, and he told Kalia, and she told Max, and he told Amy, and she told me.”  Ruth frowned. That seemed like a very long way of hearing something.  “I just can't imagine Anya doing something like this,” she said.  Just then, their friend Ella dropped into the seat next to Ruth.  “Can't imagine what?” she asked.  “Anya cheated on the Bible quiz!” Eliza whispered to her.  “No way!” Ella exclaimed.  “Shhh!” Ruth hushed both of them. “We don't know that for sure, and I don't want Anya to hear you talking about her.”  What happens next?

Welcome back to the Slightly Biased Podcast, where the American Dream comes with a weird shed, suspicious wiring, and a $10K funeral plan. In this episode, Vinny and Grayson catch up on daily life—starting with Grayson's experience helping his sister move into her first home. From building furniture and buying toolkits to discovering a stovepipe chimney in the backyard shed, it quickly becomes clear: homeownership is just DIY anxiety with a mortgage. Along the way, they rant (lovingly) about: The importance of tools and why home inspections aren't optional (unless you enjoy chaos) Rotten decks, thermostat debates, and the financial burden of HVAC upgrades Tiny houses as a capitalist fever dream, and why reinventing the trailer park isn't innovation The funeral industry's price gouging and the rising trend of sky burials Why the modern American starter home is starting to look like a financial trap They also get hyped (and slightly overwhelmed) by the trailer for James Gunn's Superman, discuss wine as a housewarming gift, and tease their upcoming podcast about watching terrible movies chosen by you, the listener. Takeaways: Homeownership is more stressful than romantic Tiny houses are not the answer Minimalism isn't practical if it comes with exposed wiring and no fridge space Reinventing the bus isn't innovation—it's capitalism on wheels And the PTA? It's all about the power. Recorded 5/29/2025.

How bad can a movie truly be? We put that theory to the test with 3 movies rated in the less than 10% approval rating from Rotten Tomatoes. Those movies: Cobra (1986), Jaws: The Revenge (1987), and Bio-Dome (1996) all have poor acting, worse writing, and plot holes galore. But they may also have some redeeming qualities to others, but listen and decide for yourself.Also Play:Cinema Chain Game--------------------------------------------Subscribe, rate, and review:Apple Podcasts: Our Film FathersSpotify: Our Film FathersYouTube: Our Film Fathers---------------------------------------------Follow Us:Instagram: @ourfilmfathersTwitter / X: @ourfilmfathersEmail: ourfilmfathers@gmail.com

Today on the Daily Nugget, Mike dives into Romans 7:4-6 and reminds us that we have died to the law so we can belong to Christ and bear fruit for God. He explains how, apart from the Spirit, we naturally produce either plastic fruit—fake and performative—or rotten fruit—sinful and destructive. But through the Spirit, we can bear real, life-giving fruit that reflects the character of Christ. It's not about trying harder; it's about abiding deeper.

In this conversation, Michael Fisher, founder and CEO of Rotten, shares his journey of building a candy brand from scratch with zero experience in the industry. He talks about the initial trap that many startup CEOs fall into, himself included, of chasing the symbols of success instead of focusing on the business fundamentals. Michael then shares his personal connection to candy and the creative process behind building a brand narrative that emotionally resonates with consumers. During the conversation, we touch on the power of learning from advisors, the role of Kickstarter in validating his product concept, and his focus on healthier ingredients while maintaining great taste. Michael also shares insights on creative collaboration, the challenges of competing in the candy industry, including navigating legal issues with larger brands, and his vision for a better world through diverse product options.Key points from this episode:Transitioning from a startup CEO mindset to a real business is crucial.Learning from advisors and networking is key to success.Kickstarter served as a validation tool for Rotten's concept.A personal connection to candy inspired the brand's focus.Building a brand narrative is essential in a competitive market.World-building with engaging characters enhances brand identity through rich and engaging storytelling.The candy industry is brand-dominated, requiring strong branding to compete for loyalty.A significant portion of consumers are purchasing less candy due to health concerns.The brand aims to attract consumers who have never purchased better-for-you candy before.Formulation challenges are common when creating healthier candy options.The brand has undergone multiple reformulations to improve product quality.Legal challenges from larger brands can be daunting, but also indicate market presence.The goal is to provide consumers with better options that taste great.A better world means offering diverse food options, including healthier choices. Sound Bites:"It's really hard to remember that there isn't a playbook. What's going to work for your brand is going to be a unique path.""I stopped buying a lot of candy, actually, and I missed it. I missed the experience of eating candy.”"I really wanted to have a focus on building a strong brand that people could love.""We have worlds that haven't been explored, you know, Freektopia and all these fun places.”“More than a third of consumers in our category, non-chocolate candy, reported purchasing less candy over the last year. And the number one reason they report that is health and diet concerns."“We are showing that there is demand from people and people are willing to pay a premium for candy that still tastes incredible and gives them some of these health benefits.”“We're gonna win here is if someone eats our candy and it's their favorite candy, regardless of the health benefits.""So that was a fun time for me to play around in my kitchen, but I quickly learned that it's a very technical product to make." Links:Michael Fisher on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-fisher1/Rotten - https://eatrotten.com/Rotten on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/eatrotten/Rotten on Tiktok - https://www.tiktok.com/@eatrottenRotten on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@eatrottenRotten on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/eatrotten/posts/…Dr James Richardson - Evolve CPG episode 74 - https://modernspecies.com/brands-for-a-better-world-podcast/focus-on-your-fans-dr-james-richardson-premium-growth-solutions?rq=rampingRamping Your Brand Book - https://www.rampingyourbrand.com/…Brands for a Better World Episode Archive - http://brandsforabetterworld.com/Brands for a Better World on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/brand-for-a-better-world/Modern Species - https://modernspecies.com/Modern Species on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/modern-species/Gage Mitchell on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/gagemitchell/…Print Magazine Design Podcasts - https://www.printmag.com/categories/printcast/…Heritage Radio Network - https://heritageradionetwork.org/Heritage Radio Network on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/heritage-radio-network/posts/Heritage Radio Network on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/HeritageRadioNetworkHeritage Radio Network on X - https://x.com/Heritage_RadioHeritage Radio Network on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/heritage_radio/Heritage Radio Network on Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/@heritage_radio Chapters: 03:00 Introduction to Michael Fisher and Rotten06:09 The Transition from Startup CEO to Real Business08:49 Learning the CPG Landscape12:00 The Role of Advisors and Networking14:59 Kickstarter: A Launchpad for Validation18:11 Personal Connection to Non-Chocolate Candy21:05 Building a Brand with a Narrative23:55 World Building in Brand Development28:31 Creative Collaboration in Candy Design31:49 Building Emotional Connections with Consumers33:01 Competing in the Candy Industry39:05 Formulation Challenges and Product Development47:42 Navigating Legal Challenges with Big Candy53:39 A Vision for a Better World through Options

Google it. Or the gross national product of Morocco? Google it. Or the final resting place of Tom Paine? Google it. There was a time, however — not all that long ago — when you couldn't Google it or ask Siri or whatever cyber equivalent comes next. You had to do it the hard way—by consulting reference books, indexes, catalogs, almanacs, statistical abstracts, and myriad other printed sources. Or you could save yourself all that time and trouble by taking the easiest available shortcut: You could call me.”By Stephen Akey • The Hedgehog Review • 8 min • Gift Link3️⃣ Greek Tragedy: A Drowning At DartmouthSusan Zalkind: “Signs of Won Jang's mounting distress appeared almost immediately after he pledged the Beta Alpha Omega fraternity in the fall of 2023. During calls and visits home, his parents noticed their once-confident son had lost his spark, increasingly preoccupied with his standing among fraternity brothers. He worried about how he fit in — or didn't — with the brothers and about the ‘vibe' of his house. ‘I could see that it was very stressful because he didn't feel like he fit into the mold of what a person from that house would be,' a college friend later explained, speaking on the condition of anonymity for fear of student blowback. ‘He wasn't a white athlete. He wasn't tall. He wasn't from an affluent family. And he felt like he had to compensate for that.' ”By Susan Zalkind • Boston Magazine • 26 min • Gift LinkThank you for reading this week's issue.

Two brothers cause chaos in a small village when they move a rotten body unintentionally spreading evil.When Evil Lurks is a hidden gem of a possession movie. Taking the form of a rotten, zombie-looking individual that is festering away in a small village, evil is at work. The film features two brothers as the leads who try to protect their families at all costs given the lack of information about the evil force at hand, but end up unintentionally making the lives of everyone around them worse. The film explores the relationship of the supernatural with children and effectively presents a new entry into possession and undead films that hasn't been seen before. It's bloody, it's fun, and at times, hard-to-watch.
