Many mature Christians experience seasons when Jesus feels distant—not through dramatic sin or faith crisis, but a slow, subtle drift into spiritual dryness. Today, Stephanie explores how to recognize, understand, and rekindle true delight in God when faith feels flat.As she has with every episode in our “Awaken Delight” series, Stephanie has invented a fictional character – who might feel eerily familiar! In today's episode, we're introduced to “Claire”—a faithful, seasoned believer admired by others, with a life marked by steady commitment to Christ, church, and family. Yet, despite external faithfulness, she privately mourns the loss of intimacy and vividness in her spiritual life. Claire's story demonstrates how even longstanding believers can slide into a functional, uninspired relationship with Jesus—doing all the “right things,” but missing the joy and depth once present.Our FREE gift to you today! An exclusive, in-depth 30-day FREE recovery plan to rekindle your delight in God when you are going through seasons of flavorless faith: go to https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelightthepodcast and find the form for Episode 458. Give us your email, and you will receive the full plan in your inbox immediately!Key Symptoms of a “flavorless faith”:Bible reading and prayer become duty-bound, not joy-filled.Worship songs and sermons feel routine, not stirring.Service continues, but the heart feels unengaged and tired.Delight is more than an emotion—it's the warm, relational savoring of God Himself, not just His gifts or outcomes.Distinctions:Happiness: Circumstantial, fleetingContentment: Sufficient, sometimes passiveDelight: Active, relational enjoyment—the “flavor” and “fragrance” of life with GodDelight in God is like savoring real vanilla versus imitation—the fake might have the form, but lacks the richness and depth. When we lose delight, all becomes bland.Distance from Jesus is often gradual. Common causes include:Over-familiarity: The truths of gospel become like a painting you stop noticing.Busyness & Burnout: Life's cares crowd out time to “linger” with Jesus.Duty Replacing Delight: We obey and serve, but lose relational warmth.When delight cools, our spiritual life becomes transactional, our joy fades, and other things gain center stage in our hearts.Psalm 34:8 invites us to “taste and see that the Lord is good”—not just agree intellectually, but experience Him proportionally.Delight in God requires attention; it calls for slowing down, “beholding,” and returning to the gospel as if it's fresh.It's not manufactured by willpower, but reawakened by honesty and pursuit.Prayerfully confess where delight has dimmed and ask Jesus for renewed appetite.Ultimately, delight is about communion—living in God's presence, savoring Him as the ultimate gift.Our delight fuels resilience, combats burnout, and makes our faith not merely correct, but alive and fragrant to those around us.Practical Steps to Awaken DelightSlow Down & Linger: Don't skim Scripture or prayer; bring your full heart, even your boredom and disappointment.See God as Beautiful: Move beyond doctrine; gaze at Jesus' beauty, not just His utility.Cultivate Stillness: Create time to notice God's presence and gifts; fight cultural hurriedness.Receive, Don't Achieve: Delight is a relationship to receive by the Spirit, often through the ordinary or through suffering.Honest Prayer: Admit to God when delight feels absent; let Him rekindle it.If you, like Claire, feel distant from Jesus, don't despair. He hasn't moved; beauty can be rediscovered. Ask God to awaken your delight, to move you beyond belief into joy in His presence. Let your soul savor Him again.“Restore to me the joy of your salvation.” – Psalm 51:12MORE ABOUT THE BOOK “AWAKEN DELIGHT” BY STEPHANIE ROUSSELLE"Delight yourself in the Lord, and he will give you the desires of your heart."―Psalm 37:4What if you've lost your delight in God? Or you've never really experienced it in the first place? What if a season of suffering has snuffed out your joy, leaving you spiritually discouraged and emotionally numb?Delighting in God changes everything: how you experience your faith, relationships, and circumstances―and even how you see yourself.You can experience Psalm 37:4 as your daily reality. In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselle connects scriptural and theological truth to your everyday life so you can experience what delighting in God really means. It's not about checking boxes on a spiritual to-do list or mustering a constant state of positive feelings. Rather, delight is about satisfying your soul's deepest longing through a vibrant relationship with the living God.What you will (re)discover as you journey with God through Awaken Delight:Delight in God is identity-shaping, not emotion-driven. Delight in God is not fleeting emotion but resilient identity.Delight in God is altogether trust, satisfaction in God, relational intimacy with Him.Delight in God is often expressed and grown through resilient joy under suffering.Delight in God is the missing engine behind resilience. It's the antidote to burnout. It's even the foundation for sustainable ministry.God's delight in you is secure, not performance-dependent. God's delight in you frees you from striving! That's the beginning of delight.Jesus is the center of every endeavor to delight in God.You can build a delight-centered spiritual life.Awaken Delight invites you to follow Scriptural truths and spiritual practices that cultivate daily joy in God.In Awaken Delight, Stephanie Rousselleshows how delighting in God is crucial for spiritual growth,provides spiritual habits that help you live in delight, andincludes discussion questions and Bible engagement great for book clubs or small groups.By looking to Christ as your model of divine delight, you can discover that no matter what you're experiencing―whether weariness, sorrow, hope, or happiness―you truly can "taste and see that the Lord is good."

It's deeply rooted in Christ, Jesus.It's the quiet revolution that reshapes how we endure pain, love others, and understand our own heart.Awaken Delight is a theologically grounded spiritual formation book for thoughtful believers who feel spiritually fatigued and are ready to embrace the reality of Psalm 37:4.More at https://www.gospelspice.com/awakendelight Purchase the book, "Awaken Delight" by Stephanie Rousselle: https://a.co/d/0bqhUb5JKind words from Jennifer Rothschild, Bible teacher, Author, Speaker, Podcast Host, Founder, Fresh Grounded Faith: “Stephanie helps us awaken to and experience true delight.

Delight in God who abundantly provides for His people in the midst of affliction

Do you feel isolated from family and friends? Perhaps your isolation is less geographical and more ideological. Do you feel...

The first quarter of 2026 stunk for Graff-Pinkert’s used machinery business. But fortunately, in the last few months, we’ve made some really good deals, selling old Davenport and Acme screw machines, as well as some expensive late model CNC multi-spindles. Today, Lloyd Graff and I give our take on why the year unfolded this way and what we predict the machining industry will look like for the rest of the year. We’re optimistic because it seems like onshoring is real and tariff surprises are no longer a surprise. Listen on your favorite podcast app using pod.link.     .

Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/swarfcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/swarfcast/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/todays-machining-world Twitter: https://twitter.com/tmwswarfblog ************* Link to Graff-Pinkert's Acquisitions and Sales promotion! It's Hard to Sell Expensive Machines Noah: We purchased an INDEX MS22-8 CNC Multi-Spindle, manufactured 2019, with a partner at an auction. Brand new, that machine goes for over three million. We were asking less than half of new. And the thing is, even though something is worth that, it's hard to find someone to actually buy it. Lloyd: Who’s to say it’s worth that? It’s worth it if somebody pays it. Noah: We came very close with one company. We were on the one yard line, a very big corporation, but then it went up the rung, at the very end they said, “Well, the machine we already have has four Y-axis, and this only has two Y-axis.” I think it was an excuse to shoot it down. Lloyd: It may very well have been a political battle within the big company. That’s why it’s difficult to sell expensive machines to big companies. It's also hard to sell to small companies, because small companies don’t have access to that kind of money. Noah: If you’re going to buy a machine that costs over a million dollars, you have to have a job for it. It’s not something you spec on. People might think, all right, maybe I can pay three hundred grand for a used machine. But to pay a million dollars for a used machine, it just doesn’t compute. Even if it’s half price. Even if it’s a third of the price. Noah: So we got creative, and a little serendipity showed up. I was texting with an old customer to offer a different Index we have for sale. Then he says to me, “Hey, I have an idea for a trade for your 2019 machine.” We ended up trading our INDEX for his Tornos MultiSwiss 8×26, a 2017 with 8,500 cutting hours, plus cash. He really wanted an Index. His MultiSwiss operator is retiring, and his people wanted another Index. Lloyd: And for all we know, we might end up with a trade on that too. Onshoring Is Real Noah: Like them or don’t like them, tariffs are very influential and they’re happening. Is on-shoring finally real? Lloyd: That’s what we’ve been told by our clients. Onshoring is real, because it’s not so much about price. It’s about fear of what prices might be, and it’s about fear of what the Chinese might do, let’s say, if there was an invasion of Taiwan. Noah: We like to use fear of tariffs as an excuse for why people didn’t buy a lot of equipment from us at the beginning of the year. But it seems like now we’ve broken through to some extent. Lloyd: I think so. To some degree, people are being forced to buy, because they have an avalanche of orders. But I also think there’s a genuine fear by big companies that they cannot have crucial production in China. What I’m hearing from clients is their customers are saying, “We’re not worried about price. We’ll accept price raises. What we want is quality, and we want certainty of delivery.” With China, they may be able to get price, but they cannot get certainty of delivery. And, they cannot get certainty of quality. So while China can still undercut United States manufacturers on price, price is not the only thing that dictates decisions. 50 Bucks an Hour and Gila Monster Saliva Noah: What’s a contrarian prediction you have? Lloyd: Fewer and fewer men are deciding to go to college, because they don’t want to accumulate the debt, and they don’t see the opportunities in the jobs they used to get. (It used to be) “I want to be a programmer, I want to be an accountant, I want to be a lawyer.” Those aren’t necessarily great jobs to go into today, particularly if AI is going to take over so much of the white collar world. But what you do have a need for is people who can run factories and people who can work in factories. So my contrarian view is that more and more people are going to go to vocational school and technical school, and you will see a turnaround in the amount of people available for machining. But you will also see the pay for machining work go up dramatically. You’re going to see people routinely making fifty dollars an hour for machining jobs. Noah: If there’s a bigger supply of people who want to do it, wouldn’t that make wages go down? Lloyd: The demand for quality people will continue to be high, and contract manufacturing people will wake up and decide, if I want to hire somebody, I’m going to have to pay them. Lloyd: What do you think is a surprise that’s coming? Noah: I’m not that original with this one. Stephanie and I have made an investment, and we’re going to invest a little bit more, in GLP-1 stocks. Scott Galloway says that in the next ten years GLP-1 technology is going to be a bigger development in the world than AI. Is that true? I don’t know. But every day these GLP-1s seem to do something new that we didn’t think they could do. Lloyd: Do you know how they developed the first GLP-1 drug? Noah: I do not. Lloyd: It came from testing the venom of a Gila monster. It was originally developed for diabetes. Noah: Serendipity. What We're Using AI For Lloyd: What did you use AI for today? Noah: I took a database of machines and had Claude build a call list for us. We’re purchasing a Star SR32, so now I have a list of customers all organized and ready to work. What deep dark secrets did you use it for? Lloyd: I used it this morning to check how long a CT scan would take, because my wife was going to have a CT scan ahead of hip replacement surgery. Noah: And what did it say? Lloyd: Five to ten minutes. Noah: And how long did it take? Lloyd: Five to ten minutes. She was greatly relieved before she went, knowing that was likely all it would take. Noah: Anything else you’d like to say to the people of the world? I think I’m ready to drop the mic. Lloyd: Live each day. Savor every moment. Noah: Thank you. Let’s do this again soon.

Read OnlineJesus took Peter, James, and his brother, John, and led them up a high mountain by themselves. And he was transfigured before them; his face shone like the sun and his clothes became white as light. And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, conversing with him. Matthew 17:1–3Jesus' Transfiguration, which we celebrate today, is cloaked in glory and mystery. Only Peter, James, and John were invited to witness the event. One might think that if our Lord were going to do something so spectacular, He would have invited great crowds to ascend the mountain and witness the splendor of His divine glory. Such a public manifestation would surely convince all who saw it that Jesus was indeed the Christ, the Son of God, the promised Messiah. But that's not what He did. Why not?It is also quite mysterious that both Moses and Elijah were present. These two figures were among the greatest spiritual giants in the history of Israel. Why would they appear and converse with Jesus? And why, when the voice of the Father spoke from the cloud, were the apostles “very much afraid”? One might think that the voice of God would inspire jubilation, not fear.Though we often seek answers to such questions, it is sometimes more fruitful to approach the mysterious aspects of Christ's life not as a problem solver, but in wonder and awe—acknowledging the mystery as something glorious that will never be solved, only entered into with admiration and love. Let us consider these three mysteries of the Transfiguration through that lens.First, consider the great blessing these three apostles received in spending this sacred time with Jesus. They were given a glimpse of His divine glory that undoubtedly strengthened their faith for what lay ahead. Rather than focus on why others were not present, we are invited to stand in awe of the grace shown to them and to recognize that we, too, are invited through faith, contemplation, and the Sacraments to ascend the mountain of prayer and behold the Lord's glory in hidden ways God ordains.Second, rather than trying to figure out why Moses and Elijah were present, consider the Transfiguration from their perspective. They were privileged to speak to the Son of God face-to-face. Both had encountered God on Mount Sinai (also known as Horeb), and now, once again, they found themselves on a mountain, summoned by God, in the Person of the Incarnate Son of God, to behold the fulfillment of all they had proclaimed. It must have been an unspeakable joy to witness firsthand the glory of the One whom they had foreshadowed.Finally, consider the holy fear that overtook the apostles at the sound of the Father's voice. Though fear may seem contrary to joy, this was not fear of punishment but of overwhelming awe before the mystery and holiness of God. It was the fear that arises when one realizes he is standing in the presence of the Eternal. And when Jesus touched them and said, “Rise, and do not be afraid,” He was not dismissing that awe but transforming it into a confident love. The mystery remained, but now it was a mystery embraced.When you read Scripture, do you approach it more as a problem solver or as a contemplative? While both approaches have their place, the contemplative always draws us more deeply into communion with God. Why? Because God is the greatest Mystery of all. He cannot be reduced to concepts or fully grasped by reason alone. We will never “figure out” God; we can only come to know and love Him as He chooses to reveal Himself.Reflect today on how you approach divine mysteries. Receive them not merely with your intellect but with your heart. Savor what He gives, treasure the glimpses of His glory, and remain in humble awe before the mystery. For in reverent contemplation, we are not solving God, we are being drawn into His divine life.My Transfigured Lord, I stand in awe before You—before Your majesty, Your glory, and the radiant splendor of Your divine presence. I rejoice in the great Mystery of who You are. Grant me the gifts of wisdom, knowledge, and understanding, so that I may enter more deeply into all the mysteries of faith. But above all, fill my soul with wonder and awe, so that I may never cease to marvel at You, now and for all eternity. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: The Transfiguration of the Lord, by Dominicus NolletSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Summer days are not all alike. In Alaska, the midnight sun means nearly 24 hours of light, and something unexpected happens — you sleep less, eat less, and still feel energized, as if the season itself is giving you more than the calendar promises. In Hawaii, closer to the equator, the days split evenly between twelve hours of light and twelve of dark all year round, and somehow the long summer evenings most of America enjoys simply never arrive. Wherever we find ourselves this summer, the length and quality of our days are entirely in God's hands — and that is worth pausing to appreciate. Joshua 10:13 records one of the most remarkable moments in Scripture: the sun standing still in the middle of the sky for nearly a full day as God fought on behalf of His people. The God who orchestrated that miracle is the same God who set the rhythms of sunrise and sunset, who made the moon to mark the seasons and the sun to know when to go down. He designed summer with intention, and He calls us to enjoy it. Ecclesiastes urges us to enjoy life with the people we love, all the days God has given us under the sun. Long summer days are an invitation to reflect, rest, and be refreshed — to guard our lips from grumbling when they feel too long or too short, and instead let praise rise from morning light to evening glow. Every day of summer is a gift from the God who made the sun and holds the seasons in His hand. Today's Bible Verse "The sun stopped in the middle of the sky and delayed going down about a full day."— Joshua 10:13, NIV Ponder Today God designed the seasons with intention — and summer is a gift worth savoring. The length of our days, wherever we live, is no accident. The same God who made the sun stand still in Joshua's day set our summer hours in place for our refreshment and His glory. Every sunrise and sunset reflects the faithfulness of God. Psalm 74:16 reminds us that the day and night both belong to Him. Paying attention to the summer light around us is a simple and profound way to remember whose hands hold our days. Summer offers time to reflect, rest, and be refreshed. The slower pace and longer light of summer are an invitation from God to step back from the relentless forward motion of life and simply receive what He has provided. Guard your lips from grumbling about the season you are in. Whether your summer days feel endless or too short, too hot or too unpredictable, gratitude is always available. Let praise rise from morning to evening rather than complaint. Enjoy life with the people God has placed around you. Ecclesiastes 9:9 is a direct and practical command: enjoy this life, these days, these relationships. Summer is one of God's clearest invitations to do exactly that. A Prayer for You Today Dear Father, thank You for giving us long summer days to bask in warm light and prolonged evening glow. Help us to savor and enjoy each day You give us with the people we love, just as Your Word encourages us to do. Whether we have longer or shorter daylight hours, guard our lips from grumbling and complaining. Let praise come forth from our lips from our morning rising to our evening lying down. On days when it seems like the sun is standing still, strengthen us to choose to savor and enjoy every hour in whatever situation we find ourselves living in. Let Your light shine in and through us this summer, drawing those around us to the light You give. In Jesus' name, Amen.

It has made me highlight several book titles to get separately because I was hooked in by the extracts included.(to kids) The Violet Keystone, the sixth and final book in the Seventh Tower series (why there aren't seven gets on all of our nerves, but we're also ready for the series to be over). listening to:by self: Caroline—this is an adult retelling of the Little House on the Prairie saga through Ma's eyes. It WAY overuses simile and is a little more navel-gazing than I expect Ma would actually have had time for, but I'm finding it very engaging and interesting. Listening to this for me is completely independent of the new Netflix series that is currently ALL over the news and social media. I didn't even know there was going to be a new series until just this week and I have been on the waiting list for Caroline for several months now. I also feel like I need a disclaimer that despite my deep childhood fondness for this series, as an adult, I've definitely come to see what a sanitized, idealized, and whitewashed picture it paints of the westward expansion, colonialism, and the indigenous nightmare of forced removal.with Tanner and Mark: Daughter of the Deep—a lengthy revisiting of 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea by Rick Riordan.

In this Simple CFO Case Files episode, we go inside the actual client work with Chris Savor, a Simple CFO who's been with the team since April 2022 and manages some of the firm's largest client relationships. Rather than talk about the methodology in the abstract, this conversation pulls back the curtain on how a CFO actually diagnoses a real estate business, cleans up the books, and turns a cash-negative operator into a profitable one. Chris walks through his "battle plan" approach, the short-medium-long framing he uses in the first 60 days, and why financial clarity is the single biggest result he delivers.The heart of the episode is two client transformations. One is a large operator with 65 properties and a thousand doors who'd been cash-flow negative for eight months because of misconfigured allocations, fixed to cash-positive inside the first 30 days. The other is a flipper who went from 20 flips a year making nothing to 200 flips and paying himself $600,000 annually, with a real reserve position and a tax strategy that wiped out three years of tax bills. It's a grounded, practical look at what a dedicated financial partner actually changes in a real estate business.Timeline Highlights[0:00] Intro to the Simple CFO Case Files series and what makes it different[0:23] Host welcomes Chris Savor and his background as a CFO since April 2022[2:01] Chris on who he works with: flippers, multifamily, short- and long-term rentals[2:55] The single biggest result Chris delivers: financial clarity for lost owners[4:29] The battle plan call and getting real about the good, the bad, and the ugly[5:35] Short, medium, and long phases all wrapped into the first 60 days[6:01] What separates Simple CFO from a typical accountant: a genuine personal partnership[8:41] Laying the financial foundation, cleaning up books, and rolling out Profit First[10:32] Case one: a 65-property, thousand-door operator cash-negative for eight months[11:01] Finding misconfigured allocations on day 28 and clawing back overspending[12:24] Getting the operator cash-positive and onto a salary for the first time[12:45] Why the Profit First book alone isn't enough without a specialist implementing it[14:26] Inside the CFO dashboard: profit-on-the-shelf and the 13-week rolling cash view[16:41] How automated, daily-updated sheets replace manual QuickBooks report pulling[16:57] Using the forecast every meeting to close the gap to a net-profit goal[19:52] Case two: a flipper who had no idea whether he was making money[20:34] The first three moves: cleanup, real estate–specific books, and mapping the money[21:05] From 20 flips a year making nothing to 200 flips and real profit[22:12] Building reserves from 1% up to 6%+ and getting the owner onto a real paycheck[23:22] Using a tax strategy with land easements and bonus depreciation to erase three years of tax[24:22] The full transformation recap: from lost and unpaid to $600K a year[26:09] Chris's words of wisdom: you're not alone, it can be fixed, don't go at it soloKey TakeawaysFinancial clarity is the number one result. Most clients arrive seeing money move in and out of their accounts but with no idea whether they're actually profitable. Knowing your numbers is what lets a CEO steer the ship.The first 60 days make or break the outcome. That window of uncovering, admitting where things really stand, and fixing the fixable-fast problems is the biggest predictor of whether a client succeeds.A real financial partner is different from a hands-off CPA. Chris meets clients where they are, meets weekly or biweekly, and treats the relationship as a side-by-side partnership rather than a transactional service.Misconfigured allocations quietly bleed cash. A large operator was cash-negative for eight months simply because rehab and operations funds were set up wrong. Fixing the allocations flipped them cash-positive within a single month.The book alone won't get you there. Free information is everywhere, but a specialist who reads numbers without emotional attachment is what actually unravels an owner's blind spots and gets results.Getting the money game right unlocks more volume, not less. The flipper scaled from 20 to 200 flips a year precisely because he finally knew where every dollar was going and could project profit deal by deal.Plan taxes ahead and idle cash becomes a strategy. Setting tax money aside early let one client redeploy roughly $250K into a tax strategy that erased three years of tax bills instead of scrambling for the IRS.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — book a free financial discovery call — https://simplecfo.com Profit First for Real Estate Investors — apply for a free financial discovery call — https://profitrei.comClosingChris's clients prove the same thing over and over: you're not alone, and it can be fixed.

Power of Ten: design at every level of zoom, from thoughtful detail to organisational and societal change, hosted by Andy Polaine.In this episode, journalist and author Lisa Bennett, Harvard Fellow, co-author of Ecoliterate, and author of the forthcoming Savor the World: Why Wonder, Not Worry, Will Save Us, talks with Andy about restoring human agency in an overwhelming world. Drawing on a career spent studying how people rise to crisis, Lisa unpacks the E.B. White line that underpins her book: the daily tension between wanting to save the world and choosing to savor it. The conversation moves through the psychology of overwhelm and the "polycrisis," why humans aren't wired to care at global scale, AI's effect on trust and authentic communication, and why savoring with real presence and attention might be a more sustainable and more effective form of care than constant fighting.Links Lisa- Lisa's writing and newsletter: https://lisabennett.substack.com- Lisa's website: https://lisabennettwrites.com- Lisa on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisabennettwriterAndyWebsite: https://www.polaine.com Newsletter: https://pln.me/nws Podcast: https://pln.me/p10 Design Leadership Coaching: https://polaine.com/coachingCourses: https://courses.polaine.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/apolaine/ Blueksy: https://bsky.app/profile/andypolaine.bsky.socialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@apolaine

Here's the truth: most people under-eat during the week and then binge on weekends. If you've been struggling with weight loss, the answer might not be to eat less, but to eat enough! When you track your meals, you'll uncover a surprising pattern: - You might be eating too little Monday through Thursday. - This could lead to overeating Friday through Sunday. It's all about balance and awareness!

Joy aids us in waking up to our lives, and savoring is a practice that allows us to slow down, immerse ourselves in experience, and deeply appreciate the moment we're inhabiting. These two together are a powerful antidote to the gravitational pull of negativity, doomscrolling, and despair.  Jessica Morey is a meditation teacher and coach.

Hello to you listening in Wellingborough, North Hamptonshire, England! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. They say that life is like a roll of TP: the closer you get to the end the faster it goes. Maybe you feel this way, too. Zoom Zoom! How do we slow it down? Pay attention to what's still there? Savor the days even when they taste like cardboard, or worse? Imagine this: Life is like a big red bus and some of us get on fighting for the best seats to see the best view from the best vantage points when all of a sudden the bus ride is over and we saw nothing. Others are content to stand in the aisle and experience the ride as best they can, being grateful for having gotten on the bus in the first place. Story Prompt: We are given a life we have no right to expect. Now that you've boarded the big red bus what's your ride going to be like? Write that story and share it out loud!

After two decades in the brewhouse, Kristi Mathews Griner quit drinking and became, in her own words, an NA beer snob. She joins Jake, Brandy, and Jordan to argue that non-alcoholic beer has finally gotten good and to explain how brewers are achieving it with newer yeast strains, hotter mashes, and smaller batches.Kristi started waiting tables at Hops Grill & Brewery in Alexandria in 2002 and worked her way into the brewhouse, eventually leading brewing operations at Capital City and serving as technical brewer at Beltway, where she brewed contract batches for Grimm and others. Along the way, she watched the Virginia beer scene grow roughly fivefold before the boom collapsed back toward the brewpub model it started with.She's blunt about the haze craze. She was "very begrudging," she says, and still kind of is, though she'll happily praise a haze that earns its place. She's also full of stories, including the time Charlie Papazian tasted her Pilsner at Savor and nearly talked himself into moving to Leesburg to drink it all the time.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEGo Brewing (Naperville, IL) — "The Story" DIPA and their pilsnerSierra Nevada Trail PassAthletic BrewingOther Half "All-N-All"Wheatland Spring (Liberty Estate Ale, Consequent)Bottle Logic (Recursion IPA)Grimm Artisanal Ales;UPCOMING DCBEER EVENTS:Urban Garden Brewing grand opening on Juneteenth — DC's first Black woman-owned brewery, with a ribbon cutting around middayWomen's Brew Culture Club in July: a mahjong night at Lucky Danger and an event at Diamondback BrewingJuly beer share at Other Half on Sunday, July 1Thank you for tuning in!
