Podcasts about seeds

In this week's episode, host Blaine gives the usual hello, introduction, and overview (0:02) before inviting Adam and Donovan into the episode. They begin with hellos to specific listeners whom they know join the podcast each week (0:42). To kick off non-spoilers, Blaine and Donovan have plenty of thoughts on Amazon's 'Spider-Noir' (2:19). The three of them then discuss what certain knowlege adds to watching the end of a season, especially one like 'Widow's Bay' (8:55). They mostly praise 'Cape Fear' and its first episode (15:50). Finally in non-spoilers, they explain why most people would get invested with the series 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed' (23:06). In spoilers, the three hosts converse about how 'Widow's Bay' sets up its final episode and what that could entail (27:19). They lay out the reasons why 'Cape Fear' is full of potential (41:36). Finally, the three enjoyed 'Maximum Pleasure Guaranteed' and the explain with specifics on why that was (50:54). For more from The Alabama Take team, visit the website here.

This week on High on Home Grown, we cover a wide range of stories spanning health, policy, hemp innovation, and the ongoing battle for cannabis seed rights. Macky: Using cannabis for sleep isn't harmless – it can trap people in a cycle of dependency  Smee: UK Medical Cannabis Specialists Discuss the Rise of CBG | Releaf UK  Dr.Margaret: Cannabis foods and flowers face crackdown wave in Europe | Euractiv Sent in by Lob Barmey Billy:   Own Story - Can Cornwall Grow Its Own Plastic John: Is this one ok John? Keep Seeds Legal – A Word From ASIGA Sent in by Freenugz  In this week's discussion, we look at a new article warning about the potential risks of relying on cannabis for sleep, and whether dependency concerns are being properly balanced against the experiences of people who find genuine relief from insomnia. We also explore the growing interest in CBG, often called the "mother cannabinoid," and why UK medical cannabis specialists are paying closer attention to its therapeutic potential. Dr. Margaret brings news of increasing regulatory pressure on cannabis flowers and cannabinoid products across Europe, while Billy discusses an exciting hemp innovation story examining whether Cornwall could one day produce sustainable plastics from locally grown hemp. Finally, John covers the latest developments in the fight to keep cannabis seeds legal, discussing concerns raised by industry groups about proposed restrictions and what they could mean for breeders, seed banks, and home growers. Another packed episode covering science, medicine, regulation, and the future of cannabis around the world.

Motion Church | Victor, Week 1: "Victory Question" Kicking off a brand-new series called Victor, this message starts with an honoring of two longtime leaders — including Motion Church's very first youth pastor, who began serving "16 years ago" and is, as Pastor Andy puts it, "still serving with all his heart." It's Mother's Day too, and Shelly gets her well-earned shoutout. Then into the heart of it: life isn't a fairy tale. "If you don't know this by now, sweetheart, Cinderella, this ain't a fairy tale." Adversity is guaranteed for everyone — "the rain will come... at some point you're going to go through a storm." The real question isn't whether trouble comes, but how you respond to it. "I think that there are two basic mentalities that you can have. You can be a victim, or you can be a victor." Scripture doesn't leave us guessing about which one we're called to be: "We are more than conquerors through him... not through your effort, not through your talent." As Jesus said in John 16, "in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation... but take heart, I have overcome the world." The difference between a victim and a victor comes down to one thing: the question they ask. Victims ask "why" — why me, why now, why is this happening. Victors ask "what" — "God, what do you want me to see in this struggle?" Even David swung between the two in Psalm 22, moving from "my God, my God, why have you forsaken me?" to praising God in the very same psalm. Even Jesus, in Gethsemane, asked "let this cup pass from me" before landing on "nevertheless, not as I will, but as you will." And here's the encouragement: it's okay to visit "Whyland" for a moment — "we can pass through, we can make a day trip, maybe, but that's not where we live... we're making our way to What land." The message closes with a powerful image: "Seeds don't grow unless you put them in the ground. Muscles don't grow unless they're torn." Nothing in your life is wasted — "we don't lose. We learn." So the question for Motion Church is simple: "Are we going to be victims or are we going to be victors?"

Var finns kvinnan ägg? Hjälper bruna bönor potensen? Frågan om livets uppkomst har lett till många spännande teorier, konstaterar Fredrik Sjöberg. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. ESSÄ: Detta är en text där skribenten reflekterar över ett ämne eller ett verk. Åsikter som uttrycks är skribentens egna. Först sänd 2017-09-05.Biologen och rabulisten Bengt Lidforss berättade en gång om ett samtal med Strindberg, om befruktningens mysterier. Det var i Berlin på 1890-talet, på den tiden de och andra av deras kaliber söp skallen av sig på stamkrogen Zum schwarzen Ferkel, den svarta grisen. I essän ”Strindberg som naturforskare” skriver sålunda Lidforss:”Han lutade sig fram över bordet och sänkte rösten till en hemlighetsfull viskning:Ja – och kvinnan! Tänk, när vi börja avslöja henne på allvar! Hur tror du att det är beställt med hennes ägg? Har du sett ett kvinnoägg? Nej! Jag? Nej! Men Buffon, som var en jävla man, har funnit befruktade kvinnoägg i hannarnas sädesledare! Har du mod att tänka ut tanken? Det är mannen som lägger äggen och kvinnan är fågelboet! Hon kan ersättas, undanskaffas! Det gäller blott att hålla en konstant temperatur av 37 grader och bereda ett lämpligt näringsfluidum. Och så är mannen emanciperad! Fullständigt!”Ja, Strindberg hade en enastående förmåga att vara efter sin tid. I slutet av 1800-talet var mysteriet redan löst. Man visste hur befruktningen fungerade, låt vara att själva genetiken ännu var okänd. Men det hade tagit förvånansvärt lång tid. Bara några decennier tidigare hade Strindbergs teorier kunnat passera som tänkvärda. I århundraden hade forskarna famlat i blindo.Hur blir egentligen barn till? Varifrån kommer de? Ingen visste. Jo, alla visste såklart var de brukade dyka upp, och att sex mellan en man och en kvinna på ett eller annat sätt hade med saken att göra. Men sen var det stopp. Förresten var man inte alltid helt säker på att det räckte med en man; bland ursprungsfolken i Sydamerika fanns de som ansåg att en havande kvinna gjorde bäst i att ligga med så många män hon bara orkade, ända fram till nedkomsten, helst män med olika begåvning – en bra jägare, en bra historieberättare, en bra älskare och så vidare. Tanken var att barnet byggdes på undan för undan, ungefär som en snöboll.I den gamla världen var man inte mycket klokare; författaren Edward Dolnick berättar i boken ”The Seeds of life” historien om hur en kvinna i Grenoble, på 1600-talet, födde ett gossebarn vilket var trevligt men ändå lite dumt eftersom hennes man vid det laget hade varit utomlands i fyra år. Otrohet bestraffade hårt, och här fanns dessutom pengar med i spelet; den bortreste mannen var mycket förmögen. Saken hamnade i domstol. Och kvinnan vann målet – pojken fick ärva pengarna – tack vare en färgstark historia om att hon hade legat med sin make i en dröm som var så verklighetstrogen att hon blev med barn.På den tiden var det heller inte ovanligt att en kvinna som hade råkat bli gravid på bygden, ägnade sig åt att stirra på ett porträtt föreställande sin äkta man, dagar i sträck, för det kunde vem som helst räkna ut, att det var så det gick till när ett barn kom att likna sin far. Alla visste ju att modern till ett harmynt barn hade sett en hare. Och redan Aristoteles var för sin del säker på att en man i gott skick, med torrt krut i torpeden, eller vad det nu hette på hans tid, välsignade sin hustru med söner, medan män som i något avseende var undermåliga eller tillfälligt försvagade fick hålla till godo med döttrar. Hur skulle det annars gå till?Studier av könsorganen hjälpte inte heller. Den medicinska vetenskapens fader, Hippokrates, begrep visserligen att mannens testiklar antagligen hörde till pjäsen, men skapade ingen större klarhet med sin teori om att säd från höger testikel gav upphov till söner, medan döttrarnas ursprung var den vänstra.Sådär höll de på, långt in i modern tid. När den vetenskapliga revolutionens hjältar, Copernicus, Newton och de andra, lyckas klarlägga fysikens lagar, står kunskapen om vår egen fortplantning och stampar på samma fläck. Det enda man var helt överens om var att Gud hade hittat på alltihop. Resten var öppet för spekulation. Så sent som på 1670-talet fanns exempelvis de som på fullt allvar trodde att mannens organ vid själva erektionen fylldes av luft, ungefär som en flärpa, en sån där papperstuta som förekommer på barnkalas, och att väderdrivande födoämnen som bruna bönor därför kunde rekommenderas i samband med sex.Och när man vid samma tid upptäckte att sädesvätskan var full av pyttesmå sprattlande spermier, enades vetenskapsmännen om att detta var fråga om helt ointressanta parasiter. Med hjälp det nyligen uppfunna mikroskopet hade man fått syn på mängder av maskar och annan ohyra, så slutsatsen låg nära till hands. Att spermierna skulle ha med befruktningen att göra, det trodde man inte. Möjligen indirekt, genom att vispa den värdefulla vätskan med sina svansar, så att den inte koagulerade.Tidigt formerade sig forskarna i två rivaliserande läger. Dels de som trodde att kvinnan bidrog mest när ett barn blev till, dels de som likt senare Strindberg tänkte sig henne mera som en blomkruka där mannen sådde ett frö som i princip innehöll en komplett människa, låt vara i mikroformat. Grälet pågick ända in på 1800-talet, och alla var i någon mening styrda av den store glädjedödaren Augustinus; hans tröttsamma tankar om att allt som har med lust att göra är syndigt.Edward Dolnick berättar hela denna historia, från urtiden fram till de cellbiologiska genombrotten vid mitten av 1800-talet, när allt slutligen föll på plats, och man kan läsa boken som ett stycke underhållande vetenskapshistoria, men under ytan finns också annat. Reflektioner som pekar mera framåt.Att det tog så lång tid berodde inte i första hand på att man saknade mikroskop och andra tekniska förutsättningar; anledningen var mera själva tänkandet. Man kan inte utforska det man inte kan föreställa sig, och i det här fallet kunde ingen tänka sig en värld utan Gud. Den saken var inget problem för Newton; han kunde revolutionera fysiken utan att ge upp sin tro på en gudomlig plan, och likadant var det som bekant med Linné. De ordnade och räknade, utan att bekymra sig om var allt kom ifrån. Det visste de ju redan.Den inställningen visade sig vara ohållbar i frågan om sex och fortplantning. Legenden om Gud blockerade bara. Det är först med Darwins ”Om arternas uppkomst” – 1859 – som tänkandet blir tillräckligt fritt, och när sedan den digitala och genetiska informationsöverföringen långt senare blev intellektuellt allmängods, försvann de sista hindren för en sann bild av barnens tillblivelse.Men kanske är vi tillbaka på ruta ett. Det finns ett vetenskapligt problem i dag som på många sätt liknar den gamla frågan om befruktningen, ett mysterium som väldigt många forskare sysslar med och skriver lärda böcker om – frågan om vårt medvetande.Hur blir egentligen tankar till? Var kommer de ifrån? Ingen vet. Eller jo, alla vet förstås i vilken kroppsdel de dyker upp, och att evolutionen på ett eller annat sätt har med saken att göra. Men sen är det stopp.Om något blockerar förståelsen, och i så fall vad, vet ingen. Men teorierna är många och fantasifulla. Det finns till och med de som tror att våra idéer är en sorts immateriella parasiter, och vi bara värddjur. Fast det där tror jag inte på. Men ändå, också misslyckade hypoteser kan vara tänkvärda, och vad som är användbart vet man inte förrän efteråt. Vilket påminner mig om att jag är lite hungrig. Jag tror det får bli bruna bönor i dag.Fredrik Sjöberg, författare och biolog LitteraturEdward Dolnick: The Seeds of life – From Aristotle to da Vinci, From Sharks' Teeth to Frogs' Pants, the Long Strange Quest to Discover Where Babies Come From.

In this episode, we welcome Boudica Seeds back to the show to tackle one of the most debated topics in cannabis culture: black ash vs white ash. Does black ash really mean your cannabis is poor quality? Is white ash a sign of perfectly grown flower? Or have growers and smokers been chasing a myth for years? We dive deep into the science and the speculation, discussing what actually affects the way a joint burns. From cultivation practices and nutrient management to drying, curing, moisture content, and rolling techniques, we break down the factors that can contribute to black ash and uneven burns. We also talk about common misconceptions, what growers can do to improve the smoking experience of their harvests, and whether ash colour is really a reliable indicator of quality at all. A fascinating conversation that challenges some long-held beliefs and offers practical advice for growers looking to produce cleaner-burning, better-smoking flower.

Patricia Wolf makes music from the inside of an ecosystem. Her recent release on Music To Watch Seeds Grow By; Yarrow (the 9th edition in the series) emerged from weeks spent at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado, working alongside ecologists studying plants, pollinators, and the slow pressures of a changing climate. Patricia Wolf Mock Up The album maps a Yarrow's life from root to seed: the conditions needed to grow, the quiet underground, the moment a flower opens to something that might carry it further. Field recordings from those Colorado summers are woven through the compositions, leaving room, as Wolf puts it, for the natural sounds to come through – her way of sharing an emotional inner life when thinking about these environments. For this mix, Wolf turned her attention to morning. Imagining this year's Watching Trees festival crowd coming down from a long night of dancing – we talked her through in the afterglow of this year's edition. Wolf built A Wander in the Garden for that specific threshold hour – somewhere between nine and ten, when birdsong starts to reassert itself and the body wants something slow, expansive, and unhurried. The anchor track arrived first: the Cosmic Tones Research Trio's Photosynthesis, from which everything else grew. What follows is a walk through an imaginary garden with several climates – shade beneath a linden tree, open meadow thick with yarrow and field poppy, a pine grove smelling of warm sap, an orchard of cherries and mulberries just beginning to ripen. If she had to name the plant that holds this hour best, Wolf chooses lavender: something with a direct line to the nervous system, a quiet insistence on calm.

In a powerful and thought-provoking talk delivered in Sydney, Australia, Acharya das explores the dramatic transformation of human consciousness in the modern age and asks a confronting question: Why, despite unprecedented technological advancement and material comfort, are so many people experiencing anxiety, emptiness, and hopelessness? Drawing on alarming statistics surrounding depression, mental health crises, and the growing despair among younger generations, he presents a compelling analysis of a society that has become increasingly disconnected from inner peace and spiritual purpose.Acharya das examines the profound psychological impact of modern technology, social media, and smartphone culture, revealing how people are not only consumers in the digital economy — but have themselves become the product. He explains how algorithms, data collection, and constant stimulation shape human behavior, fuel dissatisfaction, and intensify mental disturbance. He further critiques the institutionalization of greed and envy within modern economic systems, arguing that many societies actively cultivate endless consumption and comparison as drivers of economic growth, often at great cost to human wellbeing.Contrasting this modern condition with the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad-gītā, Acharya das offers a deeply hopeful alternative vision of life. He explains the yogic understanding that true peace does not arise from endlessly pursuing material desires, but from awakening spiritual consciousness and recognizing our deeper identity beyond the temporary body and restless mind. Using profound spiritual insights and practical guidance, he concludes by presenting meditation and mantra chanting as transformative daily practices capable of restoring clarity, balance, and genuine inner peace.This illuminating presentation challenges conventional assumptions about happiness and progress while offering practical spiritual wisdom for anyone seeking meaning, resilience, and lasting peace in an increasingly restless world.Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction: The Unprecedented Transformation of Human Consciousness ‎ 00:03:58 The Smartphone Revolution and Loss of Human Connection ‎ 00:06:15 The Economic Value of Peace and Generational Despair ‎ 00:10:25 Misconceptions About Peace as a Commodity ‎ 00:14:19 The Surveillance and Exploitation of Smartphone Users ‎ 00:18:52 The Scale of Digital Advertising and Tech Company Revenue ‎ 00:20:56 The Rise of Self-Centeredness and the Selfie Culture ‎ 00:26:31 Historical Analysis: The Century of Self-Centeredness ‎ 00:30:34 The Origins of Consumer Culture and Propaganda ‎ 00:35:28 The Deliberate Shift from Needs to Desires Culture ‎ 00:39:21 Economic Theory Promoting Envy and Greed ‎ 00:41:40 Economic Critique and the Seeds of Destruction ‎ 00:43:44 The Promise of Happiness Through Consumption ‎ 00:46:58 The Influencer Economy and Children's Aspirations ‎ 00:48:45 Ancient Yogic Wisdom: The Alternative Perspective ‎ 00:52:52 The Necessity of Transcendental Connection ‎ 00:54:38 The Fundamental Spiritual Principle‎ 00:57:07 The Illusion of Physical Identity ‎ 00:58:58 The Reality of Mortality and Spiritual Identity ‎ 01:00:39 Spiritual Nutrition and Meditation Practice ‎ 01:03:19 Conclusion: The Path to Genuine Peace

#bible #biblia #Jesus #JesusChrist #faith #goodsoil In Matthew 13, Jesus begins to speak in parables about the sower and the different types of soil. This theme connects back to the garden motif that runs throughout scripture. What distinguishes the sower from the seed? Who is granted the understanding of the mysteries of the Kingdom of Heaven through these parables?

Welcome to episode 414 of Growers Daily! We cover: if you should pre-soak seeds, advocating for the causes you believe in, and what do I do with lightly frosted… tomato plants…  We are a Non-Profit!

If we put aside concepts, we really don't know what a tree is. It's a mystery of creation. The tree of life is a universal archetypal symbol. African, Celtic, Norse, and Cabala trees of life are discussed. Trees are a portal into appreciation of life and nature. Walking in a forest, we can feel sacred space. The decimation of trees and forests is also heartbreaking. It's important to connect to and respect all beings, including trees. The three parts of a tree—roots, trunk and branches, and crown—are considered metaphorically. Our roots, including belief systems we've inherited, are useful to revisit. Gender, cultural, historical, and familial roots sometimes need pruning. Trees have interconnected root systems and are not separate from other trees. We grow together and absorb from others. The heartwood near the center of the trunk is analogous to the stored wisdom we gather through experience. The lifeblood of the tree moves to and from the leaves. Every tree has a pattern which can be seen in its rings. We all have patterning and go through cycles as trees do. Being aware of our patterns opens us to the call of our heart. Individuation, a term used by Jung, is an ordeal of growth. There is stability in the trunk and effortless expansiveness in the branches. The crown produces shade, berries, seeds, and fruits which are shared. We can honor our outpouring and what we affect in the world. Seeds contain a legacy, the thing that comes next. The fruit of life is about realizing our immortality. The seed is perfect, despite a tree's twistedness due to environmental conditions. Creativity is a way to take refuge in our being. The practice of praise counterbalances hatred and polarization. Mary Angelon Young is an author and workshop leader with a background in Jungian psychology. Regina Sara Ryan, who was the editor of Hohm Press for 35 years, is an author, workshop leader, and retreat guide.

We're premiering the video for ‘Abiotic Factors' – Patricia Wolf's opening dispatch from Gothic, Colorado and the invisible forces that determine whether anything grows at all… Tia and Wil's Music To Watch Seeds Grow By series – the ambient/new-age/planty cassette label has in nine editions, tried to make a compelling case that the best way to understand ambient is to get your hands in some soil and think about it properly. Each artist chooses a plant that inspires their music and can be sown in the month of the release. Simple. Seasonal. You may have noticed it already. For the ninth edition – the third of Season Two – they've brought in Portland, Oregon-based musician and field recordist Patricia Wolf, whose album Yarrow takes its name from Achillea millefolium, a flowering plant whose broad geographic range spans North America and Eurasia, which also happens to make it the perfect conceptual thread to connect Portland (where the music was written and recorded) to London (where the cassette was pressed and will land through your letterbox alongside a packet of yarrow seeds and a fact card about the plant). A transatlantic weed of the most beautiful kind. Wolf is one of the most interesting people quietly operating at the edges of sound art. Her recent arc has taken her from grief (I'll Look For You In Others, 2022) to a kind of luminous rebirth (See-Through, 2022), then to birds – literal birds, in Iceland, for a documentary score (Hrafnamynd, 2025) – and now, with this album, to plants. Specifically, to the invisible forces that determine whether plants live or die at all. Yarrow was created in response to Wolf's artist residency at the Rocky Mountain Biological Laboratory in Gothic, Colorado, as part of the Art-Science Exchange Project in the summer of 2024. She worked closely with ecologists Dr Paul CaraDonna, Dr Amy Iler, Dr Jane Ogilvie, Dr Nickolas Waser, Dr Mary Price, and Dr Will Petry, spending weeks embedded in long-term research on plants, pollinators, and their interactions as the climate changes. This is not, in other words, an ambient album about plants in the vague, pastoral sense. It's an album about plants in the way a botanist might describe them: as dynamic organisms in constant, often invisible negotiation with their environment. Which brings us to ‘Abiotic Factors', the album's opening track and the subject of today's premiere. Abiotic factors – for those of us who skipped that particular biology lesson – are the non-living environmental conditions that determine whether an organism can exist at all: light availability, temperature, rainfall, wind, soil composition. They are the infrastructure beneath the visible world, the silent set of forces that a plant cannot choose but must simply work with, adapt to, or perish. As a concept for an opening track, it's contemplative and a perfect orientation into the album… which you'll all hear in its entirety soon little seedlings. The video was shot closer to home – in Wolf's Portland neighbourhood - through the lens of Edward Pack Davee, the filmmaker behind the Hrafnamynd documentary Wolf scored last year.

June 3rd, 2026:  The Seeds of Christians in Uganda;  Traditional Morality vs Civil Unions;  The Martyrs of Uganda;  The Blood of Martyrs is the Seed of Christians;  Keep Our Soul as Beautiful as It Was at Baptism

This conversation explores the critical issues surrounding seed sovereignty, the threats posed by UPOV, and the collaborative efforts to promote food integrity and indigenous seed saving through the 'Free the Seed' campaign. Megan Westgate of Non-GMO Project and Lauren Cardeli of A Growing Culture talk about how they came to work together on this issue and share insights on the importance of biodiversity, community-led seed libraries, and the power of storytelling in transforming the food system. They then share how you can get involved in the campaign and join their learning journey. Key Topics:UPOV treaty and its impact on indigenous seed savingFarmers being put in jail for saving their own seedsThe importance of biodiversity and seed diversityHow Non GMO Project and A Growing Culture came together to build this campaignThe difference between seed vaults/morgues and community-led living seed libraries4 sessions of the Free The Seed learning journeyThe role of storytelling and narrative in food activismStrategies for engaging brands and communities in seed sovereigntySound Bites:“Humans have the ability to imagine the end of the world easier than the end of capitalism.”“[Those kinds of seed libraries are] what I call a seed morgue, because that's where seed goes to die.”“Living seed libraries exist through community mechanisms and community ownership where those seeds are being saved and adapting and growing and living throughout.”"It's illegal to save seed in many countries.""Seed saving is essential for human survival.”“Life is regenerative inherently.”“Think about what does ‘right relationship' look like for me and for my business.”“Food should nourish life.”“Our national identities are stories, our faiths are stories, our belief systems are stories. That is the power of narrative.”"We shouldn't be scared of them, they should be scared of us.

Study the daily lesson of Sefer HaMitzvos for day 119 with Rabbi Mendel Kaplan, where he teaches the mitzvah in-depth with added insight and detail.

We tend to measure success and ministry by visible, quantifiable metrics ("scoreboard mentality" or "empire logic"), but this preoccupation distracts from the true, hidden nature of God's work. The kingdom of God is advancing through "seed logic"—small, faithful acts planted in the dark that God sovereignly multiplies and transforms into the expansive kingdom.

#surrogacy #ivf #surrogateHeart to Hands' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hearttohandssurrogacy?igsh=NTc4MTIwNjQ2YQ==She signed a surrogacy contract the night before embryo transfer even after a brand-new attorney told her not to and the story only gets more real from there. We're joined by Adrienne Black, a retired surrogate with decades in family building, founder and CEO of Heart to Hands Surrogacy, and acting president of SEEDS (Society for Ethics in Egg Donation and Surrogacy). Adrienne takes us back to the early days when resources were scarce, agencies were hit-or-miss, and “you don't know what you don't know” could put a surrogate and her family at risk. We talk through the big shifts in IVF and embryology, including how genetic testing and single embryo transfer have changed outcomes and expectations. Adrienne also shares what she's learned about intended parents' vulnerability, the power imbalance that can show up in surrogacy, and why the best journeys happen when the surrogate and intended parents are supported as one unit. If you're researching a surrogacy agency, becoming a surrogate, or starting as an intended parent, this conversation gives you concrete questions to ask about contracts, screening timelines, education, and who is really protecting your interests. Then we zoom out to the industry-level view: private equity, changing legislation, and why surrogacy can't “fly under the radar” anymore. Adrienne explains what SEEDS does, how ethical standards are evolving across agencies and escrow, and why professionalism matters for every child's origin story.

What if the most devastating moments in our lives are actually God's way of planting us exactly where we need to be? This message takes us deep into Acts 8, where we discover that persecution meant to destroy the early church became the very mechanism God used to spread the gospel beyond Jerusalem's walls. Through the powerful imagery of South Africa's King Protea flower, which requires fire to release its seeds, we see a stunning parallel: sometimes we need the heat of crisis to break open what God has locked within us. The scattered believers weren't running in defeat; they were being intentionally sown across new territories. Philip, a simple deacon who served tables, found himself in Samaria, a place Jews actively avoided for 700 years, yet this became the site of miraculous breakthrough and great joy. We're challenged to examine our own scattering seasons, those painful transitions we've interpreted as punishment or failure, and recognize them instead as divine planting. The grassroots church, the everyday believers, became the primary missionaries who shook the world. This isn't about waiting for official programs or perfect timing; it's about the overflow of an encounter with Jesus that we simply cannot contain. Wherever the Spirit plants us, whether in boardrooms or dark alleys, Christ has already been there before us, preparing the soil for harvest.

Episode 2066: Steve Chou shares why building meaningful wealth almost always comes from taking calculated risks on your own business ideas instead of relying solely on a paycheck. Through stories of failed ventures, ecommerce success, blogging, and online courses, he explains how “planting money seeds” over time can eventually create scalable and even passive income streams for those willing to stay patient and persistent. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://mywifequitherjob.com/my-thoughts-on-making-money-and-planting-money-seeds/ Quotes to ponder: "Making money online is almost always a slow and steady process."

Seed storage is one of the most important tools in plant conservation, but did you know you can also store pollen? We still have a lot to learn about storing both pollen and seeds for most species, and people like Dr. Dustin Wolkis of the Center for Plant Conservation are hard at work doing just that. Join us for an interesting look at what he and his colleagues are doing to prevent plant extinction.

Host Clay Newcomb begins a new series on the American Civil War with historian and educator, JD Hewitt, of The History Underground. Clay invites you to go on a journey to ask the question that still divides Americans more than 160 years later: What was the Civil War really about? From slavery and states’ rights to Southern identity, economic power, abolitionists, and the lasting cultural memory of the Confederacy, Clay and JD attempt to navigate one of the most complicated and emotionally charged subjects in American history with honesty and nuance. The conversation traces the roots of the conflict from the founding of America through the rise of King Cotton, the contradictions of Thomas Jefferson, the expansion of slavery westward, and the radical actions of John Brown that helped push the nation toward war.
