From reclaiming architectural treasures to generating jobs and tax benefits, deconstruction turns waste into opportunity.

Tune in to learn how deconstruction can be both green and lucrative.

Meghan and Miranda are joined by former Rep. George Santos, fresh out after 84 days served (including 41 days in solitary confinement) with his federal sentence commuted by President Trump. He walks us through the moment-to-moment reality of prison (moldy ceilings, expired food, the “shoe”), how he coped, who helped, and why he wants to channel the experience into prison reform and case review work (a la Alice Marie Johnson). We also hit: Why he says he was moved to solitary & how “protective custody” works. Mental health, re-entry, and the very relatable first shower/La Mer/skincare binge! NY politics: NYC mayoral race, congestion pricing, Kathy Hochul's vulnerabilities, and whether Elise Stefanik could win statewide Culture break: J.Lo's historic box-office flop, Katy Perry + Trudeau rumor mill, and the “diva down/diva up” jokes.

A SECOND CHANCE Jonah 3 Jonah 3.4 (NLT) On the day Jonah entered the city, he shouted to the crowds: “Forty days from now Nineveh will be destroyed!” Back in chapter 2, Jonah cried out to God from the belly of a fish. God heard. God rescued. God put Jonah back on task. God doesn't just save us from something; he saves us for something. A purpose. Jonah 3.1-2 (NIV) Then the word of the Lord came to Jonah a second time: “Go to the great city of Nineveh and proclaim to it the message I give you.” God is a God of second chances. Abraham lied twice. Moses murdered a guy. Rahab ran a brothel. Paul persecuted churches. God specializes in comeback stories. Second chances. • Jonah ran, God chased. • Jonah sank, God saved. • Jonah quit, God re-enlisted him. Your story is not over. If you're still breathing, He's still writing. Jonah 3.5 (ESV) And the people of Nineveh believed God. They called for a fast and put on sackcloth, from the greatest of them to the least of them. God knew exactly how to get through to Nineveh. He keeps showing up: in the storm, in the fish, and in revival. The book of Jonah isn't about a great preacher. It's about a great God. Paul was self-aware enough to understand this: 1 Corinthians 2.1-5 (ESV) And I, when I came to you, brothers, did not come proclaiming to you the testimony of God with lofty speech or wisdom. For I decided to know nothing among you except Jesus Christ and him crucified. And I was with you in weakness and in fear and much trembling, and my speech and my message were not in plausible words of wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, so that your faith might not rest in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. No matter how clever a sermon is, it's just noise without the Spirit. We don't need the wisdom of men. We need the power of God. In Jonah's story, God did the heavy lifting. Jonah just opened his mouth. Because when God shows up… everything changes.Subscribe to PRESTONCREST - with Gordon Dabbs on Soundwise

Ever blown it… and wondered if God could still use you? Jonah did too. But when God gave him a second chance, it sparked the biggest revival in the Old Testament — with a five-word sermon! In this message, Preaching Minister Gordon Dabbs, Ph.D., unpacks Jonah's story with humor, hope, and heart — showing that God's grace runs deeper than our failures. Whether you're running from God, stuck in regret, or just need a reminder of His relentless mercy… this one's for you.

Disobedient Children and Second Chances - Matthew 21:28-32All the signs in first century Israel pointed to who Jesus was, but were ignored by those who said they did everything they did for God – we must not make the same mistake today!Matthew 21:28-32Last week Jesus showed us that one of the most effective ways to answer questions is with questions that make people think. Another great way to communicate truth is to tell stories that relate to the situation being asked about – Jesus shows us that this week!Two responses to Jesus in the parable of the two sons - V. 28-32The word for changed his mind in verse 29 is metamelomai (G3308). It's a compound of two words – the first being “after/afterward,” and the second being “care about.” It can be translated “Change of mind” or “REGRET.” Not too far down the Greek word tree we find metanoeo (G3340), which can be translated “change of mind” or “REPENT.”How can Jesus make the statement in verse 32, that sinful rebels will get into heaven before the religious leaders?Because the sinners far from God had recognized their lack of righteousness and need of the Savior, while the religious were trusting in their own righteousness and rejecting their Messiah.What was John the Baptist's “way of righteousness?”1. The call to repent of sinful self-focus and turn to God (Matt. 3:2).In those days John the Baptist came preaching in the wilderness of Judea, “Repent, for the Kingdom of Heaven is at hand.” - Matt. 3:22. The call to turn to Jesus who takes away our sin (John 1:29).The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world!” - John 1:293. The call as a disciple to have Jesus increase in your life (John 3:30).He (Jesus) must increase, but I must decrease. - John 3:304. The call to bring forth fruit in keeping with repentance (Luke 3:8a).“Bear fruits in keeping with repentance.” - Luke 3:8a“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of Heaven, but the one who does the will of My Father who is in Heaven. On that day many will say to Me, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name, and cast out demons in Your name, and do mighty works in Your name?' And then I will declare to them, ‘I never knew you; depart from Me, you workers of lawlessness.' - Matthew 7:21-23

This week, Ben and Rob get stuck on Groundhog Day (1993), Harold Ramis's timeless classic starring Bill Murray, Andie MacDowell, and Chris Elliott. What started as a quirky rom-com has become one of the most beloved and philosophically rich films ever made; the blueprint for every time-loop story that followed.How did Groundhog Day even come to be? Why are time-loop movies so endlessly satisfying? Just how long was Phil Connors actually stuck reliving the same day ten years or a thousand? And underneath all the laughs, is Groundhog Day secretly a deeply spiritual movie about enlightenment, karma, and the human condition?PLUS!

Albom's new novel, Twice, asks a question most of us have daydreamed about: what if you could go back and relive any moment of your life? In the book, a man is born with that exact power, but every second chance comes with a cost. Albom talks with Tonya Mosley about his new book, and the lasting influence of Morrie Schwartz, his old college professor who died in 1995 of ALS. Nearly 30 years ago, Albom chronicled their weekly visits in his bestselling book Tuesdays With Morrie. Since then, he has written several more bestsellers, exploring love, loss, and what it means to live fully in the face of mortality.Follow Fresh Air on instagram @nprfreshair, and subscribe to our weekly newsletter for gems from the Fresh Air archive, staff recommendations, and a peek behind the scenes. Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
