This week on the podcast, Patrick and Tracy welcome J.P. Lacrampe, author of Valet. About Valet: Cy wants nothing more than to be useful, raise his utility score, and receive the next update for his operating system. But that's easier said than done when he’s tasked with helping his owner's thirty-five-year-old son “get out of his funk.” Grayson is nothing like his go-getter, CEO sister Charlotte. He didn't inherit the family robotics company when their dad passed last year, he doesn't have a master's degree, and he just can't seem to figure out the San Francisco dating scene. He'd rather eat synthesized mozzarella sticks and make pottery at his studio, Kilning Time. When Grayson learns of Charlotte's plan to sell the company to a tech conglomerate, he panics. It's not just the family business at stake, it's all the technology—like Cy—their dad invented over the years. So he does what anyone would do: he steals the flash drive with his father's most important work stored on it and plans a corporate takeover. If only he knew what that meant. To make matters worse, a fellow VALET deserts his owner and asks Cy to help him hightail it out of town, Grayson's first real date—and her dog—keeping showing up at inopportune times, and the behemoth tech company wants this deal closed yesterday. Grayson, Cy, and their trusty golden retriever, Sasha III, must go on the lam until they figure out exactly what to do, and whom to trust. About J.P. Lacrampe: J.P. Lacrampe received his MFA in creative writing from Saint Mary's College. His short fiction has been published by Glimmer Train, McSweeney’s, Instant City, and in Howl: A Collection of the Best Contemporary Dog Wit. He is a professor at Santa Clara University & SJSU, where he teaches courses in composition, fiction, and screenwriting. This week's picks: J.P. #1: Disney’s Aladdin (1992) J.P. #2: Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak J.P. #2: Deer seen swimming in San Francisco Bay far from shore Tracy: Corn on the cob Patrick #1: Witch Hat Atelier (Crunchyroll) Patrick #2: The Home Depot Hot Dog Cart Links: J.P.

Watch this episode on YouTube: https://youtu.be/OUVacbL2k7g   For Matt and Sharon Kill, the goal was never to have the biggest fleet. But it took growing to 21 trucks — and nearly losing what mattered — to figure that out. The family started with nothing: one truck, a borrowed belt trailer, and a 1950s pay loader that lost steering every time you let off the throttle. After Matt got let go from John Deere, they accidentally built a four-way ag operation — trucking, manure spreading, farming, and feed commodity trading out of Saint Mary's, Ohio.

Une opération de sécurité impliquant l'armée et la police, baptisée « Opération Savannah Shield », est en cours depuis plusieurs mois dans le nord-ouest et la bande centrale du Nigeria. Plusieurs groupes terroristes liés à al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique et au groupe État islamique, mais aussi des éléments d'Ansaru et de Boko Haram, sont désormais bien enracinés dans toute cette zone. Dans l'État de Niger, ces groupes opèrent au sein de réseaux interconnectés. Des factions islamistes se sont parfois alliées à des gangs criminels profitant de cette couverture locale pour dissimuler leurs mouvements. Ils mènent des attaques dans des zones éloignées avant de se replier vers des cachettes établies au sein des communautés environnantes dans la réserve forestière de Kainji. De notre correspondant dans la région, James est le catéchumène du village d'Ifana. Depuis 202, cette localité de l'État de Niger, au Nigeria, est la cible d'attaques régulières d'un groupe de bandits. La situation s'aggrave en 2025 quand ce gang criminel mène un raid spectaculaire, obligeant James et toute sa communauté à s'enfuir à pied sur près de 30 kilomètres. « Deux hélicoptères blancs survolent la zone, puis ces deux hélicoptères blancs font des allers-retours au-dessus de la zone. Et à un moment donné, ils cessent de survoler la zone », se souvient-il. En contrôlant le ciel, le plan est imparable. Les bandits pillent les habitations du hameau où James réside avec sa famille. Ils s'occupent d'un des sites d'orpaillage proche d'Ifana. Et surtout, ces hommes armés volent de façon méticuleuse le bétail et les stocks de céréales. James confie : « Sincèrement je pensais qu'il s'agissait d'une équipe de secours, sans savoir qu'il s'agissait en fait de bandits. Quand nous avons compris qu'il s'agissait de bandits, nous étions terrorisés, car ils nous avaient encerclés au sol et volaient également au-dessus de nous ; nous avons alors perdu tout espoir de nous en sortir vivants. » Comme Ifana, Kasuwan Daji, situé sur le corridor menant à la forêt de Kainji, est un autre village martyr de l'État de Niger. Ibrahim est l'adjoint de l'imam de cette localité. Le 3 janvier 2026, un raid d'une faction salafiste extrémiste extermine 60 personnes. Les assaillants opèrent sans aucune résistance en face d'eux. Ibrahim est l'un des 15 hommes vivant encore dans les ruines de ce village à moitié détruit : « Ce matin, nous avons fui une nouvelle attaque, tandis que le gouvernement reste silencieux face à la situation sans rien faire. Il faudrait au moins envoyer des agents de sécurité dans le village pour que nous puissions dormir en paix. Les maisons ont été incendiées, nous avons déblayé les lieux pour pouvoir y rester ; cependant, nous avons peur d'être tués par eux, car les maisons encore debout sont ouvertes et n'ont pas de portes. » Après avoir payé une rançon à leurs envahisseurs, les habitants d'Ifana eux ont pu retourner sur leurs terres. Mais ces bandits occupent toujours une partie de cette localité.

Près de cinq mois après leur libération, les élèves et le staff de l'école Saint Mary de Papiri ont tous retrouvés leurs proches. Situé dans l'État de Niger au Nigeria, cet établissement scolaire primaire et secondaire n'a toujours pas rouvert ses portes. Les victimes de ce spectaculaire kidnapping de masse ne bénéficient d'aucun accompagnement psychologique et vivent toujours dans une zone extrêmement volatile et dangereuse. Une opération de sécurité impliquant l'armée et la police, baptisée « Opération Savannah Shield », est en cours dans le nord-ouest du Nigeria. Reportage dans cette zone voisine du département de Borgou au nord du Bénin. De notre correspondant dans la région, De son mois de captivité, Bako est revenu choqué par le matériel technologique en possession des groupes extrémistes. Cet enseignant de l'école Saint Mary ne comprend toujours pas comment salafistes et bandits ont pu s'enraciner dans les forêts de l'État de Niger. L'ultra violence de ces criminels hante toujours Bako : « Des enfants meurent dans les cachots de ces ravisseurs. Des femmes y meurent aussi. Des milliers de personnes y sont otages. Des gens du Bénin et du Nigeria... Il y a des infirmières là-bas. Des sages-femmes sont prises aussi au piège. Au Bénin, ces groupes extrémistes ont l'habitude d'aller dans des hôpitaux pour enlever des gens. Ils savent qu'ils obtiennent de plus grosses rançons en kidnappant des personnels de santé. » Lydia est une aide cuisinière de Saint Mary. Elle aussi a été otage comme Bako. Ses deux fils âgés de moins de 5 ans ont vécu cette expérience avec elle, dans la forêt de Kainji. Ces deux bambins ne lâchent plus d'une semelle leur maman depuis leur retour. Car même libre, le quotidien de cette famille est un cauchemar : « Ce qui me préoccupe encore aujourd'hui, c'est que les meurtres n'ont pas cessé ; je n'ai donc pas l'esprit tranquille. Parfois, nous ne pouvons pas dormir chez nous parce qu'ils rôdent dans les environs ; nous devons aller dormir dans la brousse, et c'est pour cette raison que je n'ai pas l'esprit tranquille. » « Nous courons dans le noir avec nos enfants » Le jour du kidnapping de Saint Mary, Emmanuel rendait visite à son épouse, enseignante de cette école. Depuis son retour à la liberté, une nuit sur deux, le hameau où vivent Emmanuel et sa famille subit des attaques de bandits. Et comme Lydia et ses enfants, Emmanuel et sa compagne se cachent jusqu'au matin en brousse. En étouffant les pleurs de leurs deux nourrissons : « Nous courons dans l'obscurité en espérant qu'ils ne voient pas où nous nous cachons. Nous courons dans le noir avec nos enfants. Parfois, les enfants pleurent, alors nous faisons de notre mieux. Nous les choyons juste pour faire cesser les pleurs, afin que, si les bandits sont dans les parages, ils ne puissent pas découvrir où nous nous cachons. » Au bord de la rupture nerveuse, Emmanuel s'accroche à la vie. Surtout quand il se souvent de tous ces otages qu'il a croisés. Il se demande en permanence combien d'entre eux sont encore vivants.

Près de cinq mois après leur libération, les élèves et le personnel de l'école Saint Mary de Papiri ont tous retrouvé leurs proches. Situé dans l'État de Niger au Nigeria, cet établissement scolaire primaire et secondaire n'a toujours pas rouvert ses portes, alors que progressivement, d'autres établissements publics n'appliquent plus la fermeture décrétée par le gouverneur de cet État. La direction de l'école Saint Mary prend son temps pour permettre aux élèves et au personnel de se remettre du traumatisme de ce spectaculaire enlèvement de masse (303 élèves et 12 personnels scolaires). La situation sécuritaire demeure très dangereuse dans cette zone très rurale du centre-ouest du Nigeria, face au département du Borgou au Bénin. De notre correspondant de retour de Papiri, Depuis janvier 2026, l'évêque Bulus Yohanna vit en dehors de son diocèse de Kontagora, au Nigeria. Le propriétaire de l'école Saint Mary se sent ciblé par les factions d'al-Qaïda au Maghreb islamique (AQMI) et de l'État islamique. Ces groupes terroristes sont hostiles à l'éducation formelle. Alors, pour éviter un nouveau kidnapping comme celui de novembre 2025, l'évêque Bulus Yohanna maintient fermée l'école de Papiri : « Il y a des menaces. Le personnel doit être en sécurité. Et même les enfants, en particulier ceux qui ont été enlevés, je ne pense pas qu'ils souhaitent revivre une telle expérience. Cela ne concerne pas seulement les élèves, mais tout le monde. Comme l'endroit n'est pas sûr, nous avons décidé de fermer jusqu'à ce que la situation sécuritaire s'améliore considérablement. » À lire aussiNigeria: détresse dans les villages autour de Papiri où 315 enfants ont été enlevés « Je sais les bienfaits de l'éducation. Cette école doit absolument continuer » L'école Saint Mary accueille plus de 650 élèves du primaire et du secondaire. La majorité est chrétienne. Mais de nombreuses familles musulmanes y ont inscrit leurs enfants. Les frais de scolarité y sont très bas pour que l'école soit accessible aux familles vivant dans le nord de l'État du Niger. « Ce sont des paysans. Ils n'ont pas les moyens de scolariser leurs enfants dans les grandes villes ; au moins, il y a une école ici... Comme ces paysans, je viens de l'État du Niger. Je suis originaire d'Agwarra. Sans les missionnaires, je ne serais jamais allé à l'école. Je ne peux donc pas rester silencieux, alors que je sais les bienfaits de l'éducation. Cette école doit absolument continuer. Sinon, ce sera la fin de l'éducation dans cette région », explique l'évêque Bulus Yohanna. Reste que cette fermeture prolongée depuis fin 2025 de l'école de Saint Mary est dramatique. Seulement une vingtaine d'élèves ont réintégré un autre établissement, loin de Papiri. Vêtue de blanc et mauve, avec l'uniforme de son école d'origine, Promise Amos est soulagée de pouvoir s'asseoir dans une classe. « Je suis très contente, parce que je ne savais pas si j'allais pouvoir continuer l'école, car j'étais très inquiète. Comment j'allais faire pour passer mon bac ? Comment j'allais faire pour reprendre ma scolarité ? », se questionnait-elle. L'évêque Bulus Yohanna veut croire aux promesses sécuritaires des autorités fédérales. Pourtant, la communauté scolaire de Saint Mary reste en danger, vivant toujours sous la menace des attaques des salafistes dans le secteur de Papiri.

The postpartum period can be one of the most vulnerable and challenging times in a parent’s life. It's also one of the least talked about. That's despite mental health disorders being the leading complication of childbirth in the United States of America, affecting 1 in 5 women. The postpartum period can bring depression, anxiety and a host of other mental health challenges. And too often, parents are left wondering what’s normal and where to turn for help. This hour, we explore postpartum mental health and what support is available in Connecticut. We’re joined by a doctor from St. Mary's Hospital, where a new unit, designed specifically for pregnant and postpartum patients, recently opened. We also hear from Postpartum Support International’s Connecticut chapter about why this period is so high-risk and how they’re working to connect families with care. And later, we’ll hear one mother’s story of navigating postpartum depression, and how she’s processed that experience through a new collection of poetry.

In this episode of Speaking of Faith from the Diocese of St. Cloud, Dr. Jessica Coblentz, a theology professor at Saint Mary's College and author of Dust in the Blood: A Theology of Life with Depression published by Liturgical Press. Dr. Coblentz's book provides framework for the conversation where she shares how a severe depressive episode in her twenties felt like a frightening identity shift, more than sadness, and how stigma and misconceptions can keep people from recognizing depression. Dr. Coblentz explains phenomenology as the careful study of lived experience, the countless stories of depression sufferers she studied and and introduces "unhomelikeness" to describe depression as feeling displaced into a foreign world. The conversation also explores findings on Christian "lay theologies" that blame sufferers or treat depression as sin, and a common Catholic view of suffering as divine instruction, noting how such messages can dishonor those who suffer from and do not survive depression. In the next episode, the conversation continues with Dr. Coblentz exploring depression as a wilderness experience and how the story of Hagar, a woman from the Old Testament, provides new perspective into living a life with depression. Find Dust in the Blood: A Theology of Life with Depression, a book by Dr. Jessica Coblentz, at Liturgical Press.

In this episode we dive into the future of construction scheduling.The ChallengeI have been thinking a lot about where this profession is headed. Not in a panicked way. In a curious way. So I sat down with Greg Lawton on the Beyond Deadlines podcast and we tried to do something most people avoid: pick actual years for when the manual parts of scheduling stop being a human job. We worked backwards from a fully autonomous construction future to right now in 2026. What we landed on was less about robots and more about how the next four years quietly reshape what a senior scheduler actually does on a Monday morning.Continue LearningCheck out our book The Critical Path Career: How to Advance in Construction Planning and SchedulingSubscribe to the Beyond Deadlines Email NewsletterSubscribe to the ⁠⁠⁠⁠Beyond Deadlines⁠⁠⁠⁠ Linkedin Newsletter⁠⁠Check Out Our YouTube Channel⁠⁠.ConnectFollow ⁠⁠⁠Micah⁠⁠⁠, ⁠⁠⁠Greg⁠⁠⁠, and ⁠⁠Beyond Deadlines⁠⁠ on LinkedIn.Beyond DeadlineIt's time to raise your career to new heights with Beyond Deadlines, the ultimate destination for construction planners and schedulers.

He also talks to Erin Lee, a parental rights advocate, about the latest developments in the fight against Colorado's laws restricting free speech and religious freedom.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dan dives into the U.S. Supreme Court's decision to take on the Saint Mary's Catholic Parish case, arguing that the state of Colorado can't exclude religious schools from the universal preschool program just because they're living their faith. Dan expects the Court to rule in favor of Saint Mary's, citing recent cases where the Court has protected religious freedom. He also discusses the implications of this decision and its potential impact on the state's treatment of Christians.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're thrilled to welcome back Dr. E. Kevin Kelloway, Professor of Psychology and Management at Saint Mary's University, to The Safety Guru for a powerful conversation on the critical role of work readiness and the simple yet impactful REDI framework for creating safer workplaces. In this insightful episode, Dr. Kelloway introduces the REDI model, a practical, human-centered approach to assessing work readiness through four key factors: Rested, Emotionally Calm, Distracted, and Impatient/In a hurry. When people are not fully ready for the task at hand, the risk of errors and incidents can rise, especially in high-risk environments. Dr. Kelloway explains how each element of the model influences safety outcomes and decision-making. Through real-world examples, he shares how leaders and teams can apply this framework in practice to spark meaningful conversations before risk is introduced. Tune in to explore how organizations can use this straightforward framework to strengthen safety culture, increase awareness, and create safer workplaces by ensuring every team member is truly REDI for the work ahead. About the Guest: Dr. E. Kevin Kelloway is the University Research Professor and Professor of Psychology and Management at Saint Mary's University, Halifax, Nova Scotia. A prolific researcher, he has authored over 200 articles and chapters and has authored/edited 15 books to date. His research focuses on occupational health psychology and, in particular, how leaders affect health and safety within organizations. Kevin has been elected a Fellow of the Association for Psychological Science, the Canadian Psychological Association, the International Association for Applied Psychology, and the Society for Industrial/Organizational Psychology. In 2016, he served as President of the Canadian Psychological Association. Kevin works with both private and public sector clients on issues related to leadership, safety, and HR management, and is a popular speaker at conferences and corporate events.

Some of the biggest minds may have you thinking a Terminator-like robot is coming for us. For years, fictional works — whether film or literature — have shaped our idea of what artificial intelligence is and how it could impact the human race. But it's not real. An important fact to acknowledge says Teresa Heffernan, a professor who has studied the relationship between AI and fiction for decades. She argues there are lots of reasons to fear artificial intelligence but an android uprising isn't one of them.Heffernan is a professor of English language and literature at Saint Mary's University in Halifax. She delivered the 2026 Wiegand Memorial Foundation Lecture at the Jackman Humanities Institute | University of Toronto.

Ahh, yes - the old debate about how leadership and a title can be disconnected. We couldn't think of a better group of people to talk to about this than some rising stars in the profession. We sought out people who are recognized leaders in their NACAC affiliates or on their campus to talk through the challenges, opportunities, and pathways to leadership - without the title.Joining us as our first Practitioner Guest is Gabby McCoy, Admission Representative at Cornell College in Mount Vernon, Iowa.Our second Practitioner Guest is Ryan Brinkman, Assistant Director and Regional Recruitment Coordinator at Saint Mary's College of California in Moraga, California.

There is a humility that we speak about. And there is a humility that is given. The first is clean. Understandable. Manageable. The second is devastating. Saint Isaac does not speak of an idea. He speaks of a man who has seen something in himself, not once, but repeatedly, until illusion collapses. “A man who has reached this in truth and not in fancy…” This is the dividing line. Most of what we call humility is still fantasy. A posture. A tone. A self-perception. But true humility is born only when a man has been brought face to face with his own instability, his own powerlessness, his own inability to sustain even the smallest good without God. Not conceptually. Existentially. ⸻ This is why Isaac says that everything begins with the recognition of one's weakness. Not as an idea. But as a state of being. A man comes to see that he cannot hold himself together. He cannot secure his own heart. He cannot even pray without distraction, without resistance, without collapse. And from this recognition, something begins to cry out. Not beautifully. Not eloquently. But desperately. Out of need. Out of poverty. Out of a knowledge that if God does not draw near, he will fall apart. This is the beginning of real prayer. Not devotion. Dependence. ⸻ And yet here is the scandal. God does not always respond as we expect. He draws near . . . yes. But not always by removing the trial. Not always by granting the request. Sometimes He withholds. Not out of indifference, but out of wisdom. Because the very delay becomes the means by which the soul is held near Him. Isaac dares to say that God defers His help so that the man will not depart. So that he will remain in prayer. Remain in need. Remain in proximity. This is not cruelty. It is a love that refuses to let the soul return to self-sufficiency. ⸻ And more troubling still: God permits temptation. Not always. But at times. The assault comes. The fire burns. The instability is exposed again. And the man cries out: Why? Why does God not remove this? Why does He allow this struggle to continue? Isaac answers with a severity we would rather avoid: So that you may learn war. So that you may be instructed. So that you may know. Not in theory, but in experience; that without Him, you are nothing. ⸻ This is where humility is forged. Not in peace. But in exposure. Not in success. But in repeated failure. Not in clarity. But in the confusion of being unable to sustain oneself. The man who does not know this, Isaac says, walks on a razor's edge. He may appear stable. Even virtuous. But he stands near the lion. The demon of pride. Because without the knowledge of one's weakness, the soul inevitably attributes its stability to itself. And this is the beginning of the fall. ⸻ Humility cannot be acquired directly. It cannot be chosen as a virtue. It must be given through conditions that undo the illusion of strength. Through delay. Through struggle. Through temptation. Through the repeated discovery that one is not what one thought. This is why Isaac says that humility is acquired only by humility's own means. Which is to say: By being brought low. By being shown the truth. By having the inner architecture of conceit quietly dismantled. ⸻ And here the most piercing word emerges. Without humility, a man's work is not perfected. Even if it appears good. Even if it appears fruitful. It does not rise above fear. It is not sealed by the Spirit. It remains within the realm of the self. Unstable. Vulnerable. Unfounded. Because only humility forms the foundation that cannot be shaken. A city built on humility stands. A life built on anything else trembles. ⸻ And so we must ask: What if the very things we are trying to escape, the delay, the dryness, the temptation, the instability, are the very means by which God is drawing us near? What if the unanswered prayer is the mercy? What if the struggle that does not cease is the protection? What if the exposure of our weakness is the only way we will ever become real? ⸻ We want relief. God desires communion. We want stability. God gives us Himself. And He will not allow us to possess Him as long as we believe we can stand without Him. ⸻ The widow cries out before the unjust judge. Relentlessly. Without dignity. Without restraint. Because she knows she has no other hope. Isaac places this image before us for a reason. This is the posture of the humble man. Not composed. Not self-contained. But persistent. Needy. Unashamed. Because he has seen the truth. ⸻ In the end, humility is not thinking less of oneself. It is knowing, without illusion, that one cannot live without God. And not merely knowing it, but remaining there. In prayer. In need. In trembling. Afraid not of punishment, but of losing the nearness of God. ⸻ This is the paradox. The man who is weak becomes unshakable. Because his life is no longer founded on himself. But on the One who draws near to the broken. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:01:00 Fr.

Passing the altar, he decided to stay nearby to see who came to pray. The door opened and he frowned as a man walked down the aisle—unshaven, wearing a torn shirt and a worn‑out coat with frayed edges. The man knelt briefly, bowed his head, then left. For several days, always at noon, the same man entered, knelt for a moment, and walked out. The priest, uneasy, began to suspect he might be a thief. One day he stopped him and asked what he was doing. The man explained he worked nearby and had only a short lunch break, so he came to pray. “I only stay a moment,” he said. “The factory is far, so I kneel and say: ‘Lord, I just came again to tell you, Jesus, how happy I am when you free me from my sins. I don't know how to pray well, but I think of you every day. So Jesus, this is Jaime reporting.'” 00:58:49 John ‘Jack': I've recently heard (Ren; in one your older conferences, sorry Father

A single sentence from a saint can inspire a whole generation, or mislead it. We open with the line many Orthodox Christians have heard, “Saint Paisios said America will become Orthodox,” then slow the story down to ask the question most of us skip: what was actually said, to whom, through what translation, and with what intent? That one case becomes a clear window into how patristic quotes and saint sayings spread online, especially when memes replace sources and confidence replaces context.Translations shape theology. We dig into why older patristic translations can smuggle in legalistic language, and why terms like “atonement” and “substitution” carry baggage.Cloud of Witnesses, Jeremy Jeremiah, Mario Andrew, and James St. Simon talk with Father Joseph Lucas about how patristic quotes get distorted and how to read the Church Fathers in context without turning memes into theology. We trace how the Orthodox Church leans on consensus, careful sourcing, and prayerful practice so our reading leads to repentance rather than argument.• the Saint Paisios “America will become Orthodox” quote and why its original context is more tentative• why unsupported “floating quotes” should not shape doctrine or spiritual decisions• authority in tradition through ecumenical councils and the consensus of the Fathers• reading individual Fathers through the lens of the wider patristic tradition• why Saint Augustine needs careful, contextual reading alongside the Greek Fathers• the difference between modern online apologetics and patristic apologetics with oversight• why ancient rhetorical attacks do not translate well to today's debates• how translation choices can import legalistic or forensic connotations• why “the theologian is one who prays” matters and how Saint Mary of Egypt models itPlease, if you haven't already, give this video a like.

You can find this entire conversation at our Patreon right now.Father Joseph Lucas, author of How To Read The Holy Fathers, helps us build a practical framework for reading the Church Fathers and the wider Orthodox tradition responsibly. We talk about patristic consensus, why ecumenical councils carry unique weight, and why later “compiler” saints can guide ordinary readers toward what the Church has truly received. We also tackle tough edges like how to approach Saint Augustine carefully, how to think about figures like Origen, and why you cannot build a full Orthodox theology on one favorite author.We then turn to Orthodox apologetics today: what it gets right, what it risks, and why ancient debate tactics do not map neatly onto modern online arguments. We close with translation and theology language, including how certain English terms can carry legalistic baggage, and we return to the heart of the Fathers: theology that forms prayer, repentance, and transformation, beautifully embodied in Saint Mary of Egypt.That “famous” Church Father quote might be fake or twisted. We talk with Fr. Joseph Lucas about reading the Holy Fathers in context, spotting meme theology, and staying inside the Church's consensus.Questions about Orthodoxy?

In the first hour of Nuanez Now, Colter Nuanez is joined by Brooks Nuanez to break down the Griz Pro Day and dive into offseason NFL storylines, including Kyler Murray heading to the Vikings and Kirk Cousins signing with the Raiders.

Saint Mary was born in Egypt, and at the age of twelve, ran away to the city of Alexandria, where she lived an extremely dissolute life. She was, she said, driven by an insatiable desire and an irrepressible passion, and that she mainly lived by begging supplemented by spinning flax. After seventeen years of this lifestyle, she traveled to Jerusalem for the Feast of the Exaltation of the Holy Cross. She undertook the journey as a sort of "anti-pilgrimage," stating that she hoped to find in the pilgrim crowds at Jerusalem, even more partners in her lust. When she tried to enter the Church of the Holy Sepulchre for the celebration, she was barred from doing so by an unseen force. Realizing that this was because of her impurity, she was struck with remorse, and on seeing an icon of the Theotokos outside the church, she prayed for forgiveness, and promised to give up the world and become an aesthetic. Then she attempted again to enter the church, and this time was permitted in. After venerating the Relic of the True Cross, she returned to the icon to give thanks, and heard a voice telling her, "If you cross the Jordan, you will find a glorious rest." She immediately went to the Monastery of Saint John the Baptist on the bank of the River Jordan, where she received Holy Communion. The next morning, she crossed the Jordan, and retired to the desert to live the rest of her life as a hermit. She took with her only three loaves of bread, and once they were gone, lived only on what she could find in the wilderness. Approximately one year before her death, she recounted her life to Saint Zosimas of Palestine, who encountered her in the desert. When he unexpectedly met her in the desert, she was completely naked and almost unrecognizable as human. She asked Zosimas to toss her his mantle to cover herself with, and then she narrated her life story to him, manifesting marvelous clairvoyance. She asked him to meet her at the banks of the Jordan on Holy Thursday of the following year, and bring her Holy Communion. When he fulfilled her wish, she crossed the river to get to him by walking on the surface of the water, and received Holy Communion, telling him to meet her again in the desert the following Lent. The next year, Zosimas traveled to the same spot where he first met her, some 20 days journey from his monastery, and found her lying there dead. According to an inscription written in the sand next to her head, she had died on the very night he had given her communion, and had been somehow miraculously transported to the place he found her and her body preserved incorrupt. He buried her body with the assistance of a passing lion. On returning to the monastery, he related her life story to the brethren, and it was preserved among them as oral tradition until it was written down by Saint Sophronius.

What actually moves a small town forward? It's not a lack of ideas, it's a lack of execution. This episode digs into the mindset shift from planning to ownership, showing how consistent action, local investment, and focusing on the people who show up can create real momentum over time. It's a practical, experience-based take on how we make things happen on the ground.  About Andrew: After a 15-year career working in rural North America with the various businesses and economic development organizations, Andrew founded Mashup Lab (www.mashuplab.ca); a for-more-than-profit company focused on one thing: unleashing the entrepreneurial potential of rural places.  Mashup Lab's activities fall under two business units; virtual business incubation programming, and a network of rural co-working spaces that operate under the brand WorkEvolved (www.WorkEvolved.ca).  To date Mashup Lab has successfully scaled its Virtual Business Incubator to rural regions throughout Canada & the US, working with more than 1,200 entrepreneurs to start and grow 700+ businesses in 600+ rural communities. Andrew is also co-founder of Awesome South Shore (www.awesomesouthshore.ca), a community-backed micro-fund that has given away over $90,000 in no-strings-attached cash to people that want to do something awesome in their community. Andrew holds an MBA from Saint Mary's University and a BBA from Acadia University.  Most recently he was selected into the Wallace McCain Institute's Entrepreneurial Leaders Program as one the Top 30 high-growth potential entrepreneurs in Atlantic Canada. Andrew is from a small rural community in Newfoundland, married a girl from a small rural community in Nova Scotia (Eva) that they now call home with their two boys (James & Josh). In this episode, we cover: Why most communities don't have an idea problem—they have an execution problem The difference between chasing big wins and building sustainable, incremental growth How to think about participation without getting stuck on who isn't involved What generational transition really means—and how to adapt instead of resist it Why ownership, not titles or committees, is the real driver of progress Links + Resources Mentioned: 1) Folks can connect with Andrew on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/abutton/ 2) If listeners would like to chat about what they're working on in their small town and how Andrew and/or Mashup Lab might be helpful (or anything else we touch on during our conversation, for that matter!), Andrew is kindly offering a free, no obligation Discovery Call!

Rebecca Lehmann discusses The Beheading Game, a lyrical reimagining of Anne Boleyn awakening after her execution to reclaim her story. This week, we're stepping into a story we think we know and unsettling it completely. Rebecca Lehmann joins Book Gang to talk about The Beheading Game, a bold and genre-bending debut, with Anne Boleyn awakening in her coffin, gathering herself—quite literally—and setting out into the world. But rather than a fast-paced tale of revenge, this novel unfolds as a deeply moving, introspective journey through grief, motherhood, class, and the stories history tells about women. Together, we explore what it means to reframe a figure so often reduced to scandal, how poetic language shapes narrative, and why this story lingers in the quiet spaces of reckoning rather than spectacle. In this fascinating conversation, we explore:
