Katy Jeter talks with Keegan Bailey about the Demo to Dirt program — an initiative supported by the Patterson Family Foundation that helps rural communities remove unsafe or abandoned homes and return those lots to productive use. Keegan shares that the program was inspired by community leaders who wanted to revitalize neighborhoods and promote local pride. Serving multiple counties across North Central Kansas, Demo to Dirt offers property owners a first-come, first-served opportunity for assistance with demolition costs, without income restrictions. Together, they discuss how addressing dilapidated housing strengthens safety, improves community appearance, and opens doors for new growth in rural areas.

Sean Combs, also known as Puffy or P Diddy, is once again dominating headlines, but not for his business ventures or music. The latest news comes out of New Jersey, where Diddy is serving a four-year sentence in a federal prison following his conviction on two prostitution-related charges earlier this year. According to CBS News, the 55-year-old mogul was acquitted of the much more serious racketeering and sex trafficking charges, but was sentenced in early October to just over four years behind bars and is expected to be released in May 2028, as per the Federal Bureau of Prisons.Since his transfer to Fort Dix Federal Correctional Institute, Diddy has taken a proactive approach to his prison life. Reporting from FOX 5 New York and CBS News highlights that he has embraced work as a chaplain's assistant, gaining access to the chapel library, which he describes as an environment that is “warm, respectful, and rewarding.” He is also enrolled in the facility's residential drug treatment program. However, all is not smooth: prison records cited by CBS News reveal that Diddy received a disciplinary citation shortly after his arrival for making an unauthorized phone call.Outside the prison walls, Diddy's legal troubles continue to mount. Audioboom reports that former Danity Kane singer Dawn Richard's lawsuit was recently amended to include claims that Diddy tampered with witnesses from behind bars, supporting prosecutors' longtime warnings that his reach and influence persist. Richard alleges ongoing intimidation, and her legal team points to Diddy's continued efforts to manipulate outcomes even while incarcerated. Diddy and his legal team have denied these new allegations, dismissing the latest civil suits as opportunistic.Meanwhile, a lawsuit from Bad Boy Entertainment co-founder Kirk Burrowes, covered by Tuko.co.ke, accuses Diddy and his mother Janice Combs of orchestrating a decades-old power grab that allegedly forced Burrowes to relinquish his stake in the iconic label under duress. That legal battle is ongoing and could bring Diddy's business history back into the spotlight.Despite the turbulence, Diddy's fortune is still estimated at around $1 billion according to Happy Mag, thanks to his stakes in music, spirits, and media. But the current wave of lawsuits and criminal penalties stands to shape the final legacy of one of hip-hop's most influential entrepreneurs.Thank you for tuning in to this Quiet Please production.

Send us a textWe find ourselves once again at the end of a season. This caps off Season 6 of Blue Canary and it's been very interesting. I had been thinking about retirement for a couple of years. Once the greatness of it started to settle and the things you missed started to creep back in past the walls you built telling yourself it was the greatest decision you ever made, reality raised it's ugly head.Don't get me wrong, I am very happy I am retired. But there are things I miss. I mean really miss.I miss the people. The officers I got to work with every day. The ones who came to me for guidance. The ones who came to me with problems. And even the ones that came to me when they had screwed up.I miss the work. Serving the community everyday was fulfilling. I knew what I was doing mattered, even when it didn't seem like it at the time.I miss the challenges, having to be sharp, fit, strong, and quick. Pitting yourself against bad guys and trying to solve problems on the fly.I miss the adrenaline. Sure, that's the thing you're not supposed to talk about, but it's there. They way your heart hammered in your chest when the Oh Shit button got pushed. The feeling you had at the end when you had won.I miss the identity. I miss being a cop. And everything that comes with that.When I settled on retirement for this season's focus it was because I wanted to talk about that thing that had been weighing on me. The lack of support.I had chatted with fellow retired officers who said they didn't feel supported. I chatted with my military friends who had vastly different experiences upon retiring. And I did my research, looking for programs, communities, and people to help.What I found just made it worse.On a positive note, I am doing the DJ thing every Friday form 8am - Noon on the Thin Line Rock Station.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode, Hunter—your Bible Reading Coach—takes us through Psalms 122 and First Corinthians chapters 9 to 11. Together, we reflect on what it truly means to follow the living Word, Jesus, as we journey through scripture. Hunter emphasizes the importance of waiting for one another, serving with humility, and preferring others above ourselves, especially as we gather for communion. Alongside powerful readings and thoughtful meditation, you'll join in prayer, hear encouragement from G.K. Chesterton, and be reminded that you are deeply loved. So settle in, breathe deep, and let's allow these ancient words to guide us into a slower, more gracious way of living today. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Wait for each other. Slow down. Don't scramble to get yours, but see to it that others are served. That's the message at the heart of today's scripture and the encouragement found in Hunter's devotional reflection. Waiting is not something most of us want to do. Our world, our churches, even our relationships often suffer because we fail to wait for one another—we find it difficult to prefer others above ourselves, sometimes even at a simple meal. Yet, as Hunter reminds us, this is precisely what Jesus did the night he was betrayed. He served, he waited on his disciples. He was their waiter; he gave of himself on their behalf. In doing this, Jesus set the humble example for us all: to wait, to serve, to give ourselves for the sake of others. When we take this posture, remembering Christ by serving and preferring others, we make room for the Holy Spirit to work—not just in our own lives, but in the life of the church. Waiting becomes a simple spiritual discipline, one that opens us up to experience Christ's life and participate with him in his transforming work. Paul's words in 1 Corinthians challenge us: "When you gather for the Lord's Supper, wait for each other." It's simple, but necessary. Waiting reflects a posture that allows Christ alone to do what only he can do among us. As we gather in our churches, as we share at the Lord's table, let us be reminded to wait, to serve, to learn to give ourselves for others. That's a prayer Hunter has for his own soul, for his family—his wife, daughters, and son—and for you. May we learn to live this out in our homes, our communities, and our daily lives. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Daily Prayer (November 11th, 2025) Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today. Let my words carry your kindness. My actions reflect your mercy. My thoughts be anchored in your truth that I am yours and you are with me. Amen. And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ. Amen.

Classification and Dating of Meteorites 3. Cosmochemist Greg Brennecka details meteorite classifications, emphasizing chondrites—primitive, unmelted samples representing the early molecular cloud and serving as the "baby book" of the solar system—whereas acondrites have been melted and often come from differentiated or disrupted planets. Brennecka specializes in Calcium Aluminum-rich Inclusions (CAIs) found within chondrites, which are used as a precise clock to date the solar system at 4.567 billion years old, and another stunning type is the pallasite, believed to originate from the core-mantle boundary of a planet and featuring spectacular olivine crystals in an iron matrix. Modern cosmochemistry relies on techniques like solution chemistry, where samples are dissolved in acid to precisely measure isotopes and elements. 1958
Worry has a way of sneaking in and taking over, but Ephesians 3:20-21 reminds us of something worry can’t compete with: a God who is able—able to do exceedingly, abundantly above anything we ask, imagine, or fear. When anxiety rises, God invites us to remember His power, His faithfulness, and His perfect track record. From parting seas to opening parking spaces to carrying us through life-changing moments, He proves again and again that nothing is too big or too small for His care. Highlights God interrupts our worry with reminders of His presence and power. Scripture anchors us when our minds want to spiral into fear. God cares for both the “small things” and the monumental moments of our lives. Nothing can thwart God’s plans—His purpose always prevails. We worry because our vision is limited, but God sees the whole story. Remembering past faithfulness strengthens our confidence in present battles. Jesus stands ready to answer the “door” when worry comes knocking. Gift Inspiration: Crosswalk's Holiday Gift Guide Looking for a meaningful way to celebrate the season?

Goring Bible Reading: “ Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.” - Ephesians 3:20-21 NKJV “Why are you worried?” God interrupted my thoughts with this question to ponder before I could start a downward spiral in my mind. He then put the lyrics to a song I hadn’t heard in years into my head. The song “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon ministered to my spirit and lifted my thoughts heavenward. It was through the message of this song and reading Bible verses that support it that God breathed new life into me and reminded me that He is still in control. He let me know I can always take my concerns to Him. The Bible says we are to “Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you” (1 Peter 5:7 NLT). But how often do we keep our worries in our grasp and push God away? Perhaps we think that ruminating over our problems will somehow solve them. I’ve learned that way never works! The good news is that we have a Savior (Jesus Christ) who is exceptionally good at saving us from everyday disasters and ultimately, saving our souls (John 3:16-17) so we can make it into our final destination (Heaven). Over the years, I’ve learned that when worry comes knocking on the door of my mind, I need to remember who God is and let His Son (Jesus Christ) answer that door and send worry running away from me for good. I’ve found that when worried, it helps to remember Bible stories of how God delivers His people. One of my favorite scriptures to illustrate that point is the story about when God parted the Red Sea for His children (the Israelites) to pass safely to the other side then He drowned their enemies who were in pursuit behind them by returning the sea to its natural form! This is the same God who is alive today. The same Lord who is available to help us 24/7/365 because He never sleeps nor slumbers (Psalm 121:4). When worried, it is important to recall God’s faithfulness to us. He is Almighty, Sovereign, Faithful, and True to me and you. God is able to accomplish everything He has planned for our lives on Earth and in the world at large. No human or evil supernatural force can thwart God’s plans. His purpose always prevails (Proverbs 19:21). Nothing is impossible for God (Luke 1:37)! So why do we worry? I think it’s because we’re still human, mere mortals with finite vision. But the good news is we serve an Immortal God with infinite vision! The Bible says that God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10). He’s planned out all the days of our life (Psalm 139:16), and He knows what He’s doing. God has a perfect track record of being trustworthy, and He does all things with perfection. God shows up for us in little ways and big ways. Such as the time when I needed a parking space in an office lot that is often full. Recently, as I prepared for an appointment, I prayed about this on my drive to that small space, and when I arrived, there were four empty parking spaces! This proved to me that God cares about the small things. When I was in my last few weeks of graduate school, our professor told us that if we made more than two mistakes on our final paper, then we would fail her class and not graduate. I asked all my God-fearing family and friends to pray for me about this serious situation, and God answered our prayers! I passed her final class and received my graduate degree. This proved to me that God cares about the big things! In closing, I’d like for you to listen to this song, “He’s Able” by Deitrick Haddon, then remember that God is a loving Heavenly Father who provides for all our needs daily. So next time you feel a wave of worry crashing over you, reach out to Him. He’s always there. Our Lifeguard (Jesus Christ) walks on water. He won’t let us drown. We just need to remember that He is able to rescue us, sustain us, and help us reach our true home (Heaven). Intersecting Faith & Life: How does it feel to know that we serve a God who is able to meet our every need and exceed our greatest expectations?

Show Notes: Samora Wolokolie talks about his dual roles as a CPA and attorney in Monrovia, Liberia. Samora lists his credentials: chartered accountant, certified public accountant, certified forensic investigation professional, certified fraud examiner, certified tax practitioner, and lawyer, and details his academic background. He is also an associate professor at the University of Liberia where he teaches all levels of accounting. Samora also teaches at other universities and holds degrees from Cuttington University, and Chariot University. He talks about his career path, including working with Deloitte in 2000, then moved to PKF Liberia and Baker Tilly, where he qualified as a chartered accountant in 2014. Serving as Liberia's Deputy Minister of Finance for Fiscal Affairs Samora served as Liberia's Deputy Minister of Finance for Fiscal Affairs from 2018 to 2024, managing the national budget and growing it from $600 million to $800 million. When asked about the major sources of revenue for the Liberian government, Samora explains that over 80% of the government budget comes from domestic revenue, with the rest from donors like the IMF, World Bank, and European Union. He details the importance of conducting audits and meeting benchmarks to access external resources, and shares a few examples of how this works. Samora discusses his role in developing revenue policies and regulations, focusing on domestic resource mobilization to grow the budget to $1 billion. He highlights the challenges and strategies needed to achieve this goal, including tax policies and revenue measures. He goes on to explain the structure of the companies he currently works for, his roles there, and how it focuses on both accounting and legal issues. Major Industries and Economic Potential in Liberia The conversation turns to the main industries in Liberia. Samora describes Liberia as an input-driven economy with significant potential in mining, forestry, and infrastructure development. He mentions the mining sector's potential, including gold, iron ore, and diamonds, and the involvement of companies like ArcelorMittal. Samora also discusses the forestry sector's potential, including logs and the Kimberley Process. He emphasizes the government's efforts in infrastructure development, particularly road construction and building maintenance. He goes on to talk about investment potential and licensing, shipping, and exporting. Consulting and Legal Processes in Liberia Samora talks about the process of hiring independent consultants in Liberia. He advises talking to an attorney and a CPA. He recommends checking with the Liberian Institute of Certified Public Accountants and the Liberian National Bar Association for licensed professionals. Samora explains the distinction between attorneys and counselors at law in Liberia, and recommends dealing with firms to ensure coverage through professional liability and insurance coverage. He goes into detail on the importance of following processes and doing due diligence and background checks when hiring consultants. Taxation and Labor Law Considerations for Foreign Companies Focusing on the tax implications for foreign companies hiring consultants in Liberia, Samora explains the withholding tax rates for resident and non-resident taxpayers, including the 10% and 15% rates for ordinary companies and the 6% rate for mining operations. He clarifies the concept of resident and non-resident status based on the number of days spent in Liberia. Samora discusses the importance of understanding labor law considerations, including contracts, occupational health and safety, and long-term employment. He also explains the tax brackets and Social Security tax obligations for foreign companies, employees and independent contractors, in addition to labour laws and health and safety laws in Liberia. Insurance Requirements for Firms in Liberia. Samora advises firms to have professional liability insurance to cover potential transgressions. He emphasizes the importance of ensuring payments pass through formal financial institutions to avoid money laundering issues. Samora suggests using bank-to-bank wire transfers or prepaid cards for payments to consultants, and he reiterates the importance of due diligence and background checks when hiring consultants in Liberia.

This week, we're diving into the first “S” in BLESS — Serving. Jesus didn't just talk about love; He demonstrated it through humble service, even washing the feet of those who would deny and betray Him. What does that reveal about His heart, and what does it mean for how we serve others today? In a world that celebrates self-promotion, how can we live out Jesus' example of love and leadership through service? Join the conversation and discover what it means to serve like Jesus!
In this timely episode of The Broker Link, Mike Papuc, National Sales Director for Health at The Brokerage Inc., joins Gillan Boyer to break down what the current government shutdown discussions could mean for the Affordable Care Act and the agents serving ACA members during open enrollment. Mike outlines clear, actionable strategies to help agents navigate uncertainty—starting with segmenting their client books based on Cost Share Reductions (CSRs) and overall eligibility for financial assistance. He walks through when to recommend $0 plans and how to position Bronze, Silver, and Gold options depending on a client's unique circumstances. The conversation also covers alternative solutions, such as short-term medical and affordable choice products, especially important if enhanced subsidies are not extended. While projections show that the market could shrink by up to 30% without those subsidies, Mike shares encouraging news: The Brokerage Inc. is seeing a 66% year-over-year increase in ACA membership enrollments, signaling strong agent performance and consumer demand. Mike and Gillan close by urging agents to stay proactive, consistent, and relationship-focused. Serving clients well during uncertainty is what creates long-term trust—and long-term business.

George Mason University proudly proclaims that we are All Together, Different. We are a school where non-traditional students are traditional students. And though they face unique challenges, these students bring important perspectives and experiences to our classrooms. Nowhere is this clearer than with our population of students connected to the military. On this episode of Access to Excellence, Senior Associate Provost for Undergraduate Education and Professor of Psychology Keith Renshaw joins President Gregory Washington to discuss the role George Mason plays in providing service members, veterans, and their families the means to find community, purpose, and fulfillment beyond their military service.
What do you do when you don't sense God's blessing or favor? Through Isaiah 58, Pastor Joe challenges us to move beyond merely religious deeds to bring God's light and love to a hurting world.
Some choices shape a morning; others shape a life. Joshua's last words cut through noise and nostalgia with a simple, unsettling challenge: choose this day whom you will serve. We walk through his final charge and discover why his focus isn't on his victories or titles but on a relentless catalog of God's action—I took, I led, I gave, I sent, I delivered. That rhythm reframes success and faithfulness, showing us that the strongest lives are built by clinging to the Giver, not curating a résumé.We explore what real clinging looks like, drawing from the Psalms to see how singing, midnight meditation, and honest prayer train the heart to hold fast. The contrast is stark: hold the living vine and bear fruit, or hold cultural leftovers and end up with snares, whips, and thorns. Joshua's whiplash is intentional—celebrating rest in houses not built, then warning against the slow slide into idolatry. The pivot turns on a personal, persistent choice made in ordinary places: the school pickup line, the driveway after work, the sidelines, and the church foyer. Serving the Lord there means small, steady decisions that align our loves.We also look at leadership that lasts beyond the leader. Israel served the Lord through Joshua's lifetime and under elders who remembered the Lord's works because their anchor was not charisma; it was a chain of remembered grace. And we connect the dots to Jesus, the greater Joshua, who took the whip and the thorns to secure a deeper rest than anyone could earn. If the waves feel high, this conversation invites you to trade fragile habits for a stronger hold on Christ and to choose—today and tomorrow—who you will serve.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs courage for a hard choice, and leave a review to help others find it.

Pastor Kim starts our new series "One Another" speaking on the importance of Praying, Serving and Loving one another.
The Suffering of Jesus Christ Jesus Christ, though perfectly sinless in His nature and conduct (1 Pet 2:22; 1 John 3:5), fully entered into the sufferings of humanity during what Scripture calls “the days of His flesh” (Heb 5:7a). As eternal God (John 1:1, 14; Col 2:9), He lacked nothing and possessed all knowledge, power, and authority. Yet in His humanity, He willingly submitted Himself to the limitations of human life, growing in wisdom and stature (Luke 2:40) and experiencing hunger, thirst, fatigue, grief, and rejection. This was not because of any imperfection in His being, but because the incarnation required Him to live in a fallen world where obedience to the Father necessarily brought conflict with the prevailing powers of darkness. Hebrews explains that He “learned obedience from the things which He suffered” (Heb 5:8). This does not mean He was ever disobedient, but rather that, through real human experience, He grew in the practical expression of obedience under pressure, culminating in His supreme submission when He “became obedient to the point of death, even death on a cross” (Phil 2:8). According to Fruchtenbaum, “The expression learned obedience does not mean that Jesus disobeyed; it means that He learned what obedience cost Him. It cost Him suffering. Philippians 2:8 makes the same point. He learned what obedience costs by means of the things He suffered.”[1] Jesus' suffering, therefore, was the means by which He demonstrated in His humanity the perfection of obedience, leaving believers an enduring model of faithfulness amid adversity. As the Suffering Servant foretold by Isaiah (Isa 53:1–12), Jesus also bore the unique suffering of standing in the place of sinners to satisfy divine justice. He not only endured the hostility of men and the pressures of life in a fallen world but ultimately suffered as the substitute for humanity's sins. In His sacrificial death, He bore the full weight of God's wrath against sin, paying a debt that was not His own (Mark 10:45; Rom 5:8; 1 Pet 3:18). On the cross, He suffered in the most profound sense, not for His failures, for He had none, but for ours, offering Himself as the once-for-all atonement. His suffering secured forgiveness, reconciliation, and eternal life for all who believe in Him. Thus, Jesus' sufferings were both exemplary and substitutionary: exemplary, in that He showed how perfect obedience is forged and displayed through hardship in a fallen world; substitutionary, in that He willingly endured the judgment we deserved so that we might be brought to God. Peter tells us, “Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust” (1 Pet 3:18). Through His suffering, believers find both a model to follow and a Savior to trust, knowing that the One who triumphed through trials now intercedes for them and assures their salvation (1 John 2:1). Sanders states, “Serving and suffering are paired in the teaching and life of our Lord. One does not come without the other. And what servant is greater than the Lord?”[2] Steven R.

What happens when a former military cop, existentialist philosopher, and Substack firebrand walks into a podcast? You get this riveting conversation between Corey and Christopher Armitage, who pulls no punches when it comes to democracy, resistance, and why “soft secession” might be the only sane response to creeping authoritarianism. Chris is a U.S. Air Force veteran, former law enforcement officer, prolific writer, and founder of The Existentialist Republic. From his early days in New Jersey wrestling circles to his transformation into an outspoken advocate for “soft secession,” Chris shares deeply personal reflections and bold policy ideas aimed at confronting rising authoritarianism in America. Through a mix of dark humor, philosophical grounding, and actionable insights, Chris breaks down: What “soft secession” really means (hint: it's not Civil War 2.0), How localism and economic independence can fortify democracy, What ICE agents, serotonin, and Friedrich Nietzsche have in common, And why writing with relentless truth might be the ultimate form of resistance. This isn't just another political chat—it's a defibrillator for the democratic spirit. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Topics [00:00] Welcome & Chris's multi-faceted background [00:04] Jersey roots, high school wrestling, and joining the Air Force [00:07] Serving as military police & navigating mental health in public service [00:13] From law enforcement to Substack: becoming a full-time writer [00:16] On Project 2025, ICE, authoritarianism, and systemic corruption [00:24] What is “soft secession” and why does it matter now?

We talk about our trip to Florida, Mamdani wins, Mark twists his meat at the table, Nelson is annoying, and Ki tries to hold us all together
Presented by Julie Busteed Humility may not be the first trait that comes to your mind as an essential element in healthy relationships. That's what I will look at today as we continue to seek to grow healthy relationships. The first thing that comes to mind when I hear the word humility is I need to have a low opinion of myself. But that's not correct. It's about being interested in others. Serving others. Yes, modesty is part of humility, but it's not being down on yourself. It's putting others first. Paul exhorts the Philippians and us to do nothing out of selfish ambition or vain conceit. Rather, in humility value others above yourselves, not looking to your own interests but each of you to the interests of the others (Philippians 2:3-4). Becky Harling, author of Cultivating Deeper Connections in a Lonely World, writes humble people come in curious to the conversation, and this curiosity is the superpower of connections! They listen and ask questions. They don't come in like the expert. I love that! We can have this superpower if we are simply interested and curious. And that's what I think the Apostle Paul is talking about—to look not to your own interests, but also to the interests of others. Humility also is shown by just being kind, lending a hand, helping a coworker. My friend Heather recently showed a beautiful example of humility. She had her day carefully planned with a full to-do list, but when a friend reached out to spend time together, she chose to set her plans aside. It wasn't what she had intended for the day, and honestly, it wasn't what she felt like doing at the moment—but she recognized her friend needed someone to listen. What makes this even more meaningful is this friendship isn't always easy or comfortable. Yet that very morning, Heather “happened” to read Proverbs 3:27–28. Do not withhold good from those to whom it is due, when it is in your power to act. Do not say to your neighbor, ‘Come back tomorrow and I'll give it to you'—when you already have it with you (Proverbs 3:27–28). Those verses were a timely reminder that God sometimes calls us to act in the moment—to give of ourselves, our time, or our attention—when it's within our power to do so. Heather reflected the heart of Christ that day by choosing relationship over routine, allowing herself to be “interrupted” in order to show love and kindness right when it was needed most. I pray you and I will be completely humble and gentle; be patient, bearing with one another in love (Ephesians 4:2).
