In the eighth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches that our hearts serve as soil for God's Word. Just as fertile soil is needed for plants to thrive, we must prepare our hearts to receive God's Word to bear spiritual fruit. The Holy Spirit serves as water to nourish the seeds.This concept is illustrated in Mark 4, where God's Word is compared to a seed, and our hearts are likened to the ground that receives that seed. Similarly, our words and thoughts act as seeds, possessing the power to sow life or death in ourselves and others. Therefore, we must guard our hearts to ensure that only seeds of faith, truth, and life take root. By intentionally cultivating good soil in our hearts and sowing wisely, we will produce the spiritual fruit that transforms lives and advances God's kingdom.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the seventh episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound mystery of how the condition of the ground influences the principles of sowing and reaping. While many recognize the power and potential of seeds, few understand the significance of the ground.Drawing from Mark 4 and Genesis illustrates how everything in creation came from the ground—trees, animals, and humans. The ground, much like a mother's womb, activates and nurtures the seed, leading to a bountiful harvest. The story of Cain and Abel shows how sin affects the ground's ability to yield fruit.Just as natural seeds need good soil to prosper, spiritual seeds require pure hearts to produce supernatural harvests. Spiritual ground determines the quality of the harvest. Keep your heart, which is your spiritual ground—pure and receptive so God's Word can activate the miraculous power of the ground in your life!The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the sixth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the crucial principle that seeds are sown in one form but reaped in another form. In 1 Corinthians 15 and Mark 4, we uncover that many miss their harvest because they expect it to return exactly as they planted it.God is the Lord of the harvest, and He determines the form of your return. Whether you sow money and reap opportunities or plant kindness and receive favor through different channels, the key is learning to discern when harvest time comes and having the humility to receive God's provision. Just as Jesus' physical body was sown in one form but raised in a completely different form at the resurrection, our spiritual seeds follow this same principle. Open your eyes to God's blessings in unexpected forms, and cultivate the humility, patience, and faith needed to discern and receive the full harvest of what you've sown.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In this episode of A People's Climate, host Shilpi Chhotray sits down with Vivien Sansour, founder of the Palestine Heirloom Seed Library, for a powerful conversation about resistance in the face of Israeli militarism, occupation, and ecological devastation.For two years, the world watched Israel's genocide in Gaza and ethnic cleansing campaign across Palestine — including the annihilation of Palestinian land, contamination of water, and the carbon-intensive bombardment that has choked the air and scorched the soil. Entire food systems have been erased. And yet, so many environmentalists remain silent. Vivien makes it clear that climate conversations cannot be separated from Western imperialism and genocide.From saving heirloom seeds to ancestral farming practices, Vivien shares how Palestinian farmers and land stewards are not only protecting the environment but also preserving culture, memory, and survival itself.Key Themes & Topics:The intersection of conservation, human rights, and food sovereigntyWhy protecting heirloom seeds is essential for culture, memory, and survivalIsraeli militarism and settler expansion in PalestineAncestral agricultural practices that date back tens of thousands of yearsThe long-standing destructive impact of industrialized agriculture on land and food systemsGlobal solidarity with Palestine  ResourcesPalestine Heirloom Seed LibraryTraveling KitchenSubversive Rebels by Vivien SansourPalestinian Land, Heritage, and Identity - Shilpi Chhotray in conversation with Rania BatriceOur Sponsors:* Check out Avocado Green Mattress: https://avocadogreenmattress.com* Check out BetterHelp: https://betterhelp.com/THENATIONAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the fifth episode of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explores the profound necessity of a seed's death to produce a harvest, drawing parallels between physical and spiritual seeds. John 12 reveals that seeds remain dormant until they are sown and must die to bear fruit, similar to Jesus, the promised seed, whose sacrificial death resulted in a global harvest of believers.Just as natural seeds must literally split and die in the ground to transform from one form into something greater, our spiritual seeds require the same process. When we give, show kindness, or demonstrate mercy, these seeds only produce a harvest when we release control and let them "die" by trusting God completely. True seed death means surrendering the when, where, and how of our harvest to Jesus, the Lord of the harvest. We plant, we water through prayer, but only God gives the increase in His perfect timing.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

In the fourth episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff teaches how to understand and cooperate with the divine law of sowing and reaping. This seemingly straightforward natural process contains deep spiritual mysteries applicable to every aspect of life. In Genesis 1, God establishes that everything contains a seed within itself, capable of reproducing after its own kind. All of life's provisions originate with seeds, making our choices profoundly consequential. Every action, word, and thought functions as a seed that will inevitably produce a corresponding harvest. Be intentional about what you plant in your life while trusting in God's perfect timing for the harvest, knowing that we will reap what we sow.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

First I heard from Sergio Garnier that the wild lamparillos on his 24,000-acre ranch in Durango skipped a season. Didn't shoot quiotes. Didn't go to flower. Then I heard the same about the agaves in Guerrero from Damian Meneses from El Tigre. And Damian and I were in Jalisco together and he told me that the raicilleros were saying the same thing: none or almost none of the agaves are going to seed.

As the number of bird flu cases across the country rises, DEFRA has announced bird keepers across England must house all poultry and captive birds if they keep more than 50 birds. Avian influenza is just one of the animal disease threats raised in a new report by the House of Commons Public Accounts Committee. It says the government would not be ready for a serious national disease outbreak like BSE or foot and mouth because resources have been focused on tackling ongoing outbreaks of avian influenza and bluetongue.All week we're taking a closer look at the start of the farming process; seeds. Most farmers buy seeds of some kind whether it's growing a crop for us to eat, or grass seed for pasture, or wildflower mixes for pollinators. However growing crops to produce the seeds that farmers plant, is just as important. We visit a farmer in South Wales who's diversified and now supplies other farmers with wildflower and grass seed mixes.Plant scientists have mapped the genome of oats.

Everything starts with a seed. All of God's promises about you exist in a seed form, waiting for you to bring them to life. In the third episode of "The Mystery Of Seeds," Duane Sheriff reveals the spiritual principle of sowing and reaping. Galatians 6:7-9 reminds us that God is not mocked, and whatever we sow, we will reap. This immutable law applies to both our natural and spiritual lives. Consider your thoughts, words, and actions as seeds that will inevitably produce a harvest. If you sow good seeds which align with the Spirit, you will reap eternal life and blessings. The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

A missing laptop charger, a freezing parking lot, and a crowd of costumed kids shouldn't add up to a breakthrough—but that's exactly where the weekend took us. What started as a simple pair of charity DJ gigs turned into a lesson on composure, community, and the kind of closure you don't plan for but desperately need.We kick off with a trunk-or-treat at Arundel Ford a local Ford dealership, where a last-minute tech failure forced a full pivot: rapid setup, a sound check on a dying laptop, and the rest of the set run from a phone. Not ideal, but deeply human. That scramble revealed how staying calm under pressure can be learned, and how serving the moment matters more than a perfect playlist. Between spooky hooks and sticky fingers clutching candy buckets, we found the heart of why we do community work: show up, bring joy, be steady.The tone shifted at the second event, a masquerade fundraiser for Seeds of Hope—a resource center that feeds, warms, clothes, and guides people facing homelessness and addiction. Only moments before unloading gear, we realized the connection: this was the place that cared for my wife's mother during her hardest days. As the dance floor filled, a quiet nudge grew louder: say thank you. She found the director and shared what so few in that line of work ever hear from family—gratitude. It was a tender exchange, honest about the rough edges of addiction and unwavering about the dignity Seeds of Hope provided. That conversation, paired with a church message on forgiveness the next morning, felt like the final stitch in a long, uneven seam of healing.If you've ever juggled grief, logistics, and the urge to do right by the people who helped when you couldn't, this story will resonate. We talk about practical resilience, the grace in imperfect performances, and the sacred power of simple words spoken at the right time.

On this episode of Taste Buds with Deb, host Debra Eckerling speaks with Rachel Simons, author of "Sesame: Global Recipes + Stories of an Ancient Seed," co-founder of Seed+Mill, based in New York City's iconic Chelsea Market.    The book - and the conversation - talk about the seed's metaphor and connection.   "Seeds are the beginning of life; that's how everything starts: vegetables, fruits, humans, animals, ideas," says Simons, who believes the book is not just about food, but life, travel, and history."   After Simons, who has lived around the world, moved to New York, she saw an opportunity to open a business around a product - mainly Tahini - that hadn't yet had its moment to shine.    "It was an underrated, underappreciated condiment or ingredient, and we wanted to throw our energy behind, you know, doing something fresh with it," she says. "We're nearly 10 years old and we honestly had no idea that this little shop would just turn into a business which would turn into a brand and eventually now a cookbook."   "Sesame" answers is a clear, approachable guide to the world of sesame, from halva and tahini to togarashi, gomasio and furikake. Whether it's in the form of a seed, tahini (a ground sesame paste), sesame oil, or halva (a soft, fudge-like candy made from sesame paste), readers can incorporate it in 100 traditional and modern global recipes.   " I wanted to make the book feel very global, very international, and very embracing," she says. "I wanted the book to be an umbrella where everybody could see a part of their food identity."   Rachel Simons shares her backstory - and the seeds that led her where she is today - as well as her history with and the origins of tahini. She also talks about her love of food, the value of  that connection, and her recipe for sesame and peach miso crumble, which you can find at JewishJournal.com/podcasts.    Learn more at SeedandMill.com, follow @SeedandMill on Facebook and Instagram, and get a copy of "Sesame" at your favorite bookstore. For more from Taste Buds, subscribe on iTunes and YouTube, and follow @TheDEBMethod on social media.   Note:  Anyone who counts the correct number of times the word "seed" is said in the podcast, will get a free Tahini ice cream from Rachel at Seed + Mill in New York.

In episode two of "The Mystery of Seeds," Duane Sheriff explains that the law of seeds is an unchanging principle in God's kingdom. These divine mysteries, while hidden from those with evil intentions, are revealed to believers through the Holy Spirit. Spiritual laws, like the law of seeds, reflect natural laws in their constancy, reliability, and predictability. By understanding and aligning with these principles, believers can unlock blessings and experience spiritual growth. Every promise from God exists as a seed waiting to be planted through faith, prayer, and action. No matter what circumstances you face, God has already provided the seed for your breakthrough—you simply need the wisdom to recognize it, plant it, and patiently tend to its growth until harvest time arrives.The Mystery of Seeds - Duane Sheriff Ministries

On the first episode of our new podcast, Growing Minds, aimed at secondary school students, Sarah McIntosh speaks to two college students about the different pathways into agriculture, student life and the future of farming. The Irish Farmers Journal has launched a brand-new podcast series, ‘Growing Minds', aimed at secondary school students and those studying agricultural science in school.On this week's episode, careers and education journalist Sarah McIntosh explores the different educational pathways into agricultural science through the CAO system and beyond.Joining her live in the studio are two third-level students, Ciaran McLoughlin, the Ag Soc auditor in University College Dublin and Ellen Feerey, a final year student from South East Technological University, Waterford. Hailing from a sheep farm in Trim, Co Meath Ciaran outlines why he decided to study a course in UCD and what growing up on a farm taught him from a young age. Ellen from Tyrellspass, Co Westmeath took a different pathway into college, spending two years in Gurteen Agriculture College before transferring into a Level 8 agriculture science degree at SETU. She outlines the benefit this had on her studies and why she would encourage other students to look into alternative pathways. Both students offer their advice on studying agricultural science, what to look out for when choosing your college course and what the future of farming looks like from a young perspective.

Ronald Reagan's Traumatic Childhood: An Alcoholic Father, an Optimistic Mother, and the Seeds of Aloofness.Max Boot discusses Ronald Reagan's childhood during the Great Depression, beginning in late 1932 when Reagan visited his father, Jack Reagan, in Springfield, Illinois, where Jack was running a shoe store. Jack Reagan, an Irish American shoe salesman, was characterized as a "ne'er-do-well" with a charming gift of blarney but plagued by alcoholism. His drinking problem contributed significantly to the misery of Ronald Reagan's childhood, as Jack repeatedly lost jobs, forcing the family to constantly move. This created a sense of dislocation in young Ronald, known as Dutch, and the need to conceal the "family secret" fostered a lasting sense of remoteness and a "mental barrier." His difficult childhood also resulted in an aversion to personality conflict, stemming from the numerous arguments he witnessed between his father and mother, Nelle. Ronald Reagan was born in a winter storm in 1911, with his nickname "Dutch" originating from his father's remark that he was a cheerful, chubby little baby boy. Nelle Reagan was an extremely admirable Protestant who belonged to the Disciples of Christ faith and was intensely religious and highly committed to community service. She was also a "frustrated actress" who cast Dutch and his brother Moon as extras in plays she staged. Nelle's relentlessly positive, upbeat, and optimistic personality taught her son that one must always look on the "sunny side of life," allowing Reagan to cope with his difficult childhood by always placing a positive gloss on it. A formative experience occurred around age 15 when Reagan secured a job as a lifeguard at the Rock River, saving 77 people from drowning and becoming a small-town hero, providing him with a taste of being renowned and admired.

A cross party group of MPs are warning that UK food production could drop by almost a third, by 2050. The All Party Parliamentary Group on Science and Technology in Agriculture also says that by 2050 - assuming all Government targets were met in full - almost a quarter of current UK farmland could be used for other purposes including renewable energy, housing, and nature restoration. The group is publishing a report today calling for the most productive farmland to be protected and for output to increase 30%, with 50% less environmental impact by 2050.The Ulster Farmers Union says it has no confidence in Northern Ireland's Department for Agriculture, Environment, and Rural Affairs. The UFU says DAERA's handling of a range of issues, from TB in cattle to a Nutrients Action Programme aimed at improving water quality with better management of manure and fertilisers , has led to 'deep dissatisfaction' among its members. And we take a closer look at seeds on the programme this week.Presenter: Charlotte Smith Producer: Sarah Swadling

This episode is an invitation to notice where we have confused numbness with pleasure. We've been sold and educated on false pleasure. Pleasure is meant to open us up, not close the door to the world of discomfort and false selves. Exploring why we might have been misled about what pleasure means and why it's an important element right now to help us to stop watering the seeds of the past, including our own past identities.  As we recognize where we are watering the seeds of past identities, we begin to notice our own evolution. We pay attention to the shifts we are ready for, our upgrades and we can truly nurture what is there in each moment. Then, we can turn our brightness to the unlimited nature of our true being. We release with more ease, not closing the door to our discomfort and not prolonging the stay in our divine bodies.  Host Christine shared moving through a recent painful experience and how paying attention to where she might have run a program of numbing out or distracting, instead choosing to allow enough space for the moving through and release of the physical and emotional pain. The experience led to a deeper inner standing of the nature of suffering and how we as humanity are sweeping suffering and it's attached programs from our divine bodies.  Humanity is sweeping suffering  and all manner of falsity off the table  Resetting this world  new community  laid upon a beautiful cloth  woven with golden threads shimmering with pure love Beloved, you are called  from the cave of your heart  back to this root of who you are to join the unlimited feast  ~ (art & poetry copyright Christine Pensa) Much love For more link to our showpage here; artthatmoves.ca

Every day, hundreds of people drive to the very end of the road out of Honokaʻa on the northeast corner of Hawaii island to peer into Waipio valley from the lookout. They see that many signs warn to do the right thing, or “be pono,” and show respect by heeding the “Road Closed, Local Traffic Only” signs and keeping their vehicles out of the valley. So most wonder what happens in Waipio valley. One sign shares that Waipio valley has a thousand-year taro (kalo in Hawaiian) farming tradition. Kalo is used to produce one of the more popular indigenous foods on the islands, poi. Kalo was once a staple of the Hawaiian diet and poi is still quite popular on the islands. You can find fresh poi from Waipio valley in the local grocery stores and even at Costco. But how is poi made and who in Waipio valley is still making it? In this episode we speak with Kahealani from Mokuwai Piko Poi, Inc. whose family has been making and selling Waipio poi since the 1970s.Brought to you by University of Hawaii College of Tropical Ag. and Human Resilience (CTAHR), and the Seeds of Well-being (SOW) Project.

The most generous people give something money can't buy—their time, their presence, and their love.Generosity reaches far beyond finances. It shapes hearts, strengthens families, and builds communities of grace. Today, Sharon Epps joins us to talk about the long-term impact of generous living.Sharon Epps is the President of Kingdom Advisors, FaithFi's parent organization. Kingdom Advisors serves the broad Christian financial industry by educating and equipping professionals to integrate biblical wisdom and financial expertise.A Simple Question That Changes EverythingIf you've ever wondered what true generosity looks like, it's often simpler—and closer to home—than we think. Generosity isn't measured by dollar amounts or estate plans; it's written on the faces and in the actions of people who live with open hearts.In fact, if you ask someone a simple question like this, you will move their hearts more than you know:“Think about the most generous person you know. What do they look like? What's their countenance? Their posture?”Take a moment to picture them. Chances are, their face lights up your mind's eye. They're probably joyful, peaceful, genuine—and not necessarily wealthy. That's because generosity is about heart, not income. It's about presence, not possessions.When we make generosity personal, it changes us. We stop thinking in abstract ideas and start remembering real people who gave freely of themselves—and in doing so, reflected the heart of Christ.When this question is asked, the answers are often the same: a grandparent, an aunt, an uncle—someone who gave of themselves through love, laughter, and listening. These aren't people who built foundations or donated millions. They modeled generosity through steady love and consistency.That's what long-term generosity looks like. It starts at home and grows outward.Redefining Long-Term ImpactWhen we hear “long-term impact,” our minds often jump to wills, trusts, or endowments. Those are important tools, but they're not the whole story. True long-term impact happens when we invest our lives, not just our assets.Every day, we have the chance to sow generosity through acts of service, hospitality, and encouragement. These simple seeds—when planted faithfully—bear fruit that outlasts any financial gift because they grow in people's hearts.If you long to leave a legacy of generosity, start small.Serve one person this week. Ask God to show you where you can listen, encourage, or help.Be steady and intentional. Generosity grows through daily habits, not grand gestures.Practice generosity with time and words. The way you invest relationally today can change someone's tomorrow.Over time, those small acts of faithfulness will shape the kind of life others remember as generous.Generosity is most powerful when it's shared. Families that give together cultivate hearts that reflect God's heart. Take your children with you when you serve at a food pantry. Let them see generosity in action. Talk about giving not as an obligation but as a joyful response to God's grace.A Practical Tool for GivingOne practical way to make giving intentional is through a donor-advised fund—or what our friends at the National Christian Foundation call a Giving Fund. It's like a charitable checking account where you can deposit money now and prayerfully decide later how to distribute it.Opening one is quick and easy, and it's a great way to involve your children or grandchildren in deciding where to give. You can learn more or start one in under five minutes at FaithFi.com/NCF.Generosity Flows Toward PeopleIn the end, generosity isn't about how much we give—it's about who we're becoming. It's not just an act; it's a lifestyle. When our generosity flows toward people instead of possessions, we participate in God's ongoing story of redemption.That's the kind of impact that lasts far beyond our lifetime.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I really want to honor God with my giving. I've been thinking about donating to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital and to my local church. Should I split my giving between the two, or focus everything on my church?I called about Qualified Charitable Distributions before, and your explanation helped—but I'm still not sure I understand them. At age 70, it seems like you lose out on any interest or growth from that money, and you can't take a tax deduction. So why would anyone do a QCD at that age? Would it ever make sense to take money from a Roth IRA instead? And are there income levels where a QCD just doesn't make sense?How can I strike the right balance between managing my money wisely and living with radical generosity?I have about $100,000 invested across the S&P 500, NASDAQ, and Dow, but I'm wondering if that's too risky. Would it be safer to put everything into the S&P 500, or is there a better approach? At 76, should I shift more into bonds—and if so, what kind would you recommend?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)National Christian Foundation (NCF)Redeeming Money: How God Reveals and Reorients Our Hearts by Paul David TrippWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.
