The episode delves into the theological world of the Latter-day Saint Temple, exploring the significance of temple worship, sacred ordinances, and the connection to the afterlife. It also addresses the practice of baptism for the dead and the temple endowment, shedding light on the covenants, symbolism, and historical context of these rituals. The conversation delves into the historical connections between Mormon temple practices and their potential origins, the evolution of the endowment ceremony, the significance of the garment of the holy priesthood, and the theology of eternal marriage and sealing. It also explores the complexities of family relationships in the afterlife and the concept of posthumous conversion to Mormonism.TakeawaysTemple worship in the Latter-day Saint tradition involves sacred ordinances, covenants, and symbolic rituals that connect to the afterlife and the plan of salvation.The practice of baptism for the dead and the temple endowment are deeply rooted in LDS theology, history, and the restoration of ancient practices.The historical context of the temple endowment, including its similarities to Freemasonry, raises questions and invites different interpretations. Restoration vs. Development: The historical origins of Mormon temple practices, such as the endowment ceremony and eternal sealing, raise questions about whether they were genuinely restored from ancient traditions or developed within the context of Joseph Smith's environment.Theology of Eternal Marriage: The theology of eternal marriage and sealing in Mormonism is deeply intertwined with the concept of exaltation and the eternal continuation of family relationships, presenting complex theological and practical implications.Afterlife and Posthumous Conversion: The discussion of the spirit world, paradise, and spirit prison in Mormon theology raises the question of whether individuals who have passed away without accepting the restored gospel can become Latter-day Saints after death.Significance of the Garment: The garment of the holy priesthood is explored as a physical symbol of covenants, protection, and connection to Jesus Christ, highlighting its theological and practical significance for faithful Latter-day Saints.Chapters00:00 The Temple Endowment and Covenants45:20 Historical Origins of Temple Practices50:21 The Garment of the Holy Priesthood01:07:19 Eternal Marriage and Sealing01:29:04 Afterlife and Posthumous Conversion

In a time of mass ecological collapse, the ecological concept of refugia offers a lifeline of hope and gives meaning to even small-scale effort. First coined in the mid-19th century by naturalist Edward Forbes, it describes how entire landscapes can recover from surviving pockets of habitats and their creatures. In this episode we talk with Debra Rienstra, author of Refugia Faith: Seeking hidden shelters, ordinary wonders and the healing of the Earth about how we can become people of refugia, finding and nurturing places of safety and health for biodiversity, human culture and faith. Debra is professor of English at Calvin University, where she has taught since 1996, specializing in creative nonfiction, early British literature, and environmental literature. She and her husband have three grown children. She lives in Michigan in the Grand River watershed. Find out more at https://debrarienstra.com/

David Raye, a true community champion. He shares his journey from, New Jersey, to becoming a beloved Grayslake resident. He discusses founding one of Illinois' first Goddard Schools, his dedication to SEDOL's special education programs, international mission work in India, and supporting Bernie's Book Bank. David's passion for children and community shines throughout. He also shares fun personal insights, from his love of classic rock to his dream of visiting Poland. Hey everyone, It's your host from "Discovering Grayslake," coming to you from my new office in Commerce Plaza! It feels great to be settled in, and I'm so excited to share this week's conversation with you. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a true Grayslake cornerstone, David Raye. His story is one of those that reminds you just how much heart and dedication one person can pour into a community. We talked about everything from his journey from New Jersey to our hometown, to the incredible work he's done for kids both here and around the world. This episode is packed with inspiration, but here are a few things that really stuck with me: *   **From Software to Significance:** Can you imagine leaving a 20-year corporate career to start something completely new? David did just that. He shared how a program called "Success to Significance" helped him pivot from the software world to opening one of the first Goddard Schools in Illinois, right here in Grayslake. It's a powerful reminder that it's never too late to find more meaningful work. *   **The Ripple Effect of a "Yes":** David's community involvement started with a simple invitation to a dinner dance for SEDOL (the Special Education District of Lake County). That one "yes" led to years of service on their board and involvement with so many other amazing groups like the Exchange Club and Bernie's Book Bank. It really makes you think about the power of showing up. *   **Grayslake's Heart Goes Global:** I was fascinated to learn how David's work extends all the way to Chennai, India. He's been instrumental in helping establish schools for children in slums, giving them a chance to break the cycle of poverty. It's incredible to know that the spirit of our community is making a difference thousands of miles away. *   **A Little Hometown Charm:** We also had some fun, of course! I asked David about his first car (a $200 Plymouth Duster!), his favorite Grayslake event (Summer Days, naturally), and the first concert he ever saw (Elton John dressed as the Statue of Liberty!). It's these little stories that truly connect us. David's story is a testament to what makes Grayslake so special—it's a place where people genuinely care and work to make a difference. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration or want to learn how you can get more involved locally, you won't want to miss this conversation. Grab a coffee, take a listen, and let's all get inspired to do a few random acts of kindness today.   Talk to you soon, Your Host,   Discovering Grayslake

Dolly Parton: The Side Quest That Became a Library of DreamsSome people become famous. Some people become successful. And then there are those rare human beings who become truly significant. Dolly Parton was all three—but significance was never really about the records, the awards, the rhinestones, the movies, Dollywood, or the fame. It was about what she did with all of it. Dolly understood something at the heart of Truly Significant: our greatest significance often lives on the other side of our success.She could have spent her life simply being Dolly Parton—the songwriter, singer, actress and entertainer who gave the world songs such as “Jolene” and “I Will Always Love You.” Instead, she discovered another calling. A side quest. And that side quest became a movement. It began with something deeply personal. Dolly grew up in the hills of East Tennessee in a large, poor family. Her father, Robert Lee Parton, was hardworking and intelligent, but he never learned to read or write. That fact stayed with Dolly. In 1995, she launched what would become Dolly Parton's Imagination Library, initially providing free books to children in her home county. The idea was beautifully simple: Give children books. But significance is rarely measured by the simplicity of the first step. It is measured by how far the ripple travels. Today, the Imagination Library reaches children across five countries, providing millions of free, carefully selected books every month to children from birth through age five—regardless of their family's income. And that is where Dolly's story becomes bigger than philanthropy. It becomes a lesson in significance. She turned a wound into a gift. Dolly didn't simply write a check because she was wealthy. She remembered. She remembered her father. She remembered what it meant to grow up without much. She remembered what a book could represent to a child. And rather than allowing that memory to remain simply a part of her personal history, she transformed it into an opportunity for millions of children. That is one of the great principles of Truly Significant: Your story is not just about what happened to you. It may be about what you are uniquely equipped to do for someone else because it happened to you. Dolly's father's inability to read became part of the reason another generation would have the opportunity to discover the world through books. Then came the Side Quest. This is what makes Dolly Parton's story especially powerful through the lens of Side Quests to Significance. A Side Quest isn't an escape plan. It isn't something you do because you're bored with your career. It isn't necessarily something you postpone until retirement. A Side Quest is that persistent calling that reconnects you with a part of yourself that wants to contribute. Dolly's primary quest was music. Her Side Quest was literacy. And remarkably, the Side Quest didn't compete with her career. It amplified her significance.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

Matt Swaim welcomes Steve Ray of CatholicConvert.com to explore the fascinating biblical history and symbolism of nard, one of the precious oils mentioned in Scripture. Steve explains where nard came from, why it was extraordinarily expensive, and how it was used in the ancient world. The conversation then turns to the woman who anointed Jesus with costly spikenard. Steve explains how the Gospel of John connects this act to the Song of Solomon, highlighting Jesus' kingship and foreshadowing His burial. The discussion also considers why the Church gives beautiful and precious things to God, and what that teaches us about detachment and offering our lives to Christ.Support the show: https://www.sacredheartradio.com/donate-now/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Mike Erre - This week we lay the theological groundwork for Journey's center set approach to ministry.

In this week's message from the Is This Thing On? series, Pastor Travis Aicklen casts a compelling and urgent vision for the upcoming year at Radiant Visalia. Using the incredible synergy of Clydesdale horses—where two horses pulling together can move exponentially more weight than one—Travis illustrates the profound power of a united church. The vision is simple but world-changing: Every believer should make a believer.We are living in a profound "meaning crisis." As post-modernism's cynicism and deconstruction leave our culture feeling empty and hopeless, people are hungrier than ever for absolute truth. By looking at the cultural shifts of our day and the powerful testimony of unexpected figures like Hulk Hogan, Travis challenges us to drop our own cynicism, step into the harvest, and unapologetically share the Gospel.Key Points & Scripture ReferencesThe Power of Synergy: Just like draft horses pulling a massive load, when the church unites in one direction and one purpose, the impact is exponential. God is calling us to pull together.The Vision—Make a Believer: The mandate for the year is clear. Evangelism isn't defined by the method you use, the location you are in, or whether you are an "expert" messenger. It is simply the event of sharing the Gospel.The Gospel Brings Power: Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 1:2-10, Travis reminds us that our faith is not just a matter of words. The Gospel comes with power, the Holy Spirit, and deep conviction.Answering the Meaning Crisis: Our culture is desperately seeking three things: Coherence (making sense of the world), Purpose (having a goal), and Significance (knowing our lives matter). The Gospel is the only true narrative that provides all three.Sincerity over Cynicism: The world is tired of the cynical, "too cool to care" attitude of the past few decades. People are looking for authentic, sincere believers who are willing to boldly declare what Jesus has done.Call to ActionThe harvest is plentiful, and the culture around us is starving for meaning. This week, ask God to give you a genuine opportunity to share your faith. Don't worry about having the perfect method or the most polished presentation; just focus on being a sincere messenger of the Gospel. Who is one person in your life that you can actively pray for and share the love of Christ with today?Join us Sundays at 8:30am or 10:30am. Find out more at RadiantVisalia.com.

Are you truly ready for the return of Christ? In this continuation of his teaching through the Olivet Discourse, Pastor Brian Gunter turns to Matthew 25 and the sobering parable of the ten virgins. What separates the wise from the foolish—and why does Jesus end the parable with such a terrifying warning?Brian explores the ancient wedding background, the significance of the lamps and oil, and the danger of possessing an outward profession of faith without the reality behind it. Salvation cannot be borrowed from parents, churches, theological knowledge, or religious activity.The warning is simple and urgent: when the Bridegroom comes, the door is shut.Watch as Brian unpacks one of Christ's most searching parables and its call to genuine faith, perseverance, and readiness.Watch all of our videos and subscribe to our channel for the latest content >HereHere

This History of Motorsports episode features Skip McGoun, emeritus finance professor at Bucknell University, comparing Grand Opera and Formula One Grands Prix as expensive spectacles that persist because they serve social functions beyond entertainment: creating a “there there” (brand identity for places) and providing venues to “see and be seen.” McGoun traces opera's shift from royal courts to civic opera houses used to signal wealth and cultural sophistication, noting architectural features designed for social display. He argues F1 has similarly become an internationally recognized marker of wealth and technological sophistication, increasingly used by countries—especially from Hungary (1986) and Malaysia (1999) onward—for global rebranding, and he points to luxury/fashion and technology sponsorships as evidence of elite audiences. He closes by asking whether F1 has reached “peak Formula 1,” paralleling opera's post-peak contraction, followed by audience discussion on rebranding, economics, and media change. ===== (Oo---x---oO) ===== 00:00 Introduction: Opera to Grand Prix 01:39 Images and Stereotypes 03:54 Two Shared Similarities 06:20 "There-There" Explained 07:50 Opera Origins and Civic Pride 10:44 Modern Opera Branding & Social Theater 15:27 Opera Spectacle Locations 17:03 Grand Prix as Status Symbol 17:43 F1 Expansion Timeline 22:07 Rebranding Nations with F1 26:08 "They're-There" at the Track 27:52 Luxury Sponsorship Mechanics - Sportswear vs High Fashion 31:25 Peak Era? and Tech Shift - The So What? 35:14 Opera Today Still Alive 38:02 Audience Q&A 47:12 Wrap Up, Sponsor Credits and Outro ==================== The Motoring Podcast Network : Years of racing, wrenching and Motorsports experience brings together a top notch collection of knowledge, stories and information. #everyonehasastory #gtmbreakfix - motoringpodcast.net More Information: Visit Our Website Become a VIP at: Patreon Online Magazine: Gran Touring Follow us on Social: Instagram This episode is part of our HISTORY OF MOTORSPORTS SERIES and is sponsored in part by: The International Motor Racing Research Center (IMRRC), The Society of Automotive Historians (SAH), The Watkins Glen Area Chamber of Commerce, and the Argetsinger Family - and was recorded in front of a live studio audience.

As oral arguments in the child safety trial for Meta Platforms (META) unfold, James Czerniawski explains the crux behind state prosecutor arguments pointing to "addictive" features of the Mag 7 company. He says features like autoplay and "infinite scrolling" make a strong case against Meta. That said, James explains that some studies the prosecutors use raise yellow flags in their arguments. ======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Luz Maria Mack is a Truly Significant™ thought leader because she is doing something larger than writing children's books: she is helping people understand that identity, belonging, and cultural memory are built through the stories we choose to tell—and the stories we choose not to leave out.Luz's significance through six dimensions: 1. She turns representation into belonging Luz's work isn't representation for representation's sake. Her central question is essentially: “Does a child see themselves in the story?” Her Dominican and Afro-Caribbean children's literature gives young readers cultural mirrors while also giving other children windows into experiences different from their own.The Secret of the Plátano, for example, was selected by Bank Street College of Education among its Best Children's Picture Books of 2023. That fits the Truly Significant lens beautifully: Significance happens when someone feels seen, valued, and connected because you were willing to tell the story. 2. Her "side quest" became a mission This is perhaps the strongest connection to Side Quests to Significance. Luz's path wasn't simply, “I want to become a famous author.” Her motherhood, cultural experience, professional life and encounters with the publishing world led her toward a creative calling that answered a need she saw around her.She has described moving beyond waiting for publisher approval and instead creating stories rooted in her community. That's a classic Side Quest: Curiosity → Need → Action → Significance. She didn't necessarily set out to build a cultural platform. She followed a need—and the need revealed the mission. 3. She understands that stories can preserve culture Luz isn't merely entertaining children. She is preserving pieces of Dominican and Caribbean culture for another generation. Her books explore language, music, family, heritage and identity. Her animated adaptation of ¡Pequeña María descubre su baile! won recognition at Bridge Fest and was subsequently featured on PBS. She also collaborated with Disney's Storybook Art Team on Family Is Everything, inspired by Encanto. That makes her work especially significant because culture disappears when nobody takes responsibility for passing it forward. 4. She has expanded from storyteller to "story ecosystem" builder This may be her most important evolution. Luz has moved from telling her own stories to creating platforms for other people to tell theirs. Her 2026 podcast, The Missing Book, focuses on overlooked stories and unheard voices. She interviews authors, illustrators, educators, publishers, literacy advocates and other creatives—not simply about their books, but about the people, experiences and identities behind those books. That's a profound distinction. An author creates a story.A thought leader creates space for stories. Luz is increasingly doing the latter.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/success-made-to-last-legends--4302039/support.

JW & Company---2026 FedEx St Jude Classic- thoughts on one of the final events in Memphis & it's significance

Paul reminds us of the meaning and significance of the Lord’s Supper. Communion is more than a tradition—it is a time to remember Christ’s sacrifice, examine our hearts, and come together as His body with gratitude and reverence. In this message, we reflect on what Jesus accomplished for us through His death and what it means to faithfully remember Him through communion.

What is the change you seek to make?On today's episode we go back to the Finding Mastery Vault for a conversation with Seth Godin, author, entrepreneur, teacher, and one of the most influential thinkers of our time on leadership, creativity, and making meaningful change. Seth has written more than twenty international bestsellers, including The Dip, Purple Cow, and The Song of Significance, alongside one of the longest-running daily blogs in the world. His claim is that naming the change you're actually trying to make is more than a branding exercise. It's what helps make every downstream decision clearer… what to commit to, what to quit, whose opinion to take seriously, and who you will have to become to pull it off. We first released this one a few years ago, and since then the world has only gotten noisier, faster and more demanding of change, which is exactly why we felt it was worth bringing back.In this episode, you'll learn:What Seth means by the change you seek to make, and why it clarifies everything downstreamLeadership as a voluntary act, and why enrollment and inspiration come before authorityWhy consistency is what makes you trustworthy enough to lead change at allHow to tell a dead end from the dip when you're deciding whether to quitWhose judgment has actually earned the right to shape your workWho to go to for reassurance, and who to go to for insightIf you have ever felt your choices quietly bending toward the approval of people who have not earned it, this conversation offers you a perspective you need to hear.

In this episode of the Built to Birth Podcast, we're sitting down to talk through Ashley's birth story—from preparing for birth and choosing the right birth team to navigating an unexpected preeclampsia diagnosis and induction.We talk about what it looked like to make decisions when birth didn't go exactly as planned, how important it was to feel informed and supported along the way, and why having a birth team you truly trust can make such a difference.We also get into some of the really special moments from her birth—the photos and videos she has to look back on, her baby being born in the amniotic sac, and what her recovery and postpartum experience looked like afterward.More than anything, this conversation is such a good reminder that preparing for birth isn't about trying to control exactly how your birth unfolds. It's about understanding your options, learning to trust your body, surrounding yourself with people you trust, and feeling confident making decisions along the way.If you're pregnant and preparing for birth—or you just love hearing real, honest birth stories—I hope this episode leaves you feeling encouraged and empowered.Learn more about the Built To Birth Course - Click HereTakeawaysHow family experiences can shape the way we think about pregnancy and birthWhy preparing for birth matters, even when things don't go according to planChoosing a birth team you feel safe with and trustNavigating high blood pressure, preeclampsia and inductionMaking informed decisions and advocating for yourself during laborThe importance of autonomy during birthLearning to trust and believe in your bodyHow education and preparation can help you feel more confident and empoweredRecovery and the postpartum experienceChapters00:00 Family and Pregnancy03:03 Preparing for Birth12:03 Choosing the Right Team20:52 Dealing with Pre-Eclampsia22:25 Preeclampsia Diagnosis and Induction26:13 Labor and Delivery Experience29:09 Informed Decision-Making and Advocacy42:43 The Birth Experience43:30 The Impact of Pictures and Videos43:58 The Significance of the Sack of Water45:08 The Importance of Autonomy in Birth53:19 Recovery and Postpartum Experience58:57 Support and Encouragement for Moms

On January 18th, 2026, protestors marched into a church building in Saint Paul, Minnesota in the middle of the worship service. They began chanting and disrupting the space, forcing the church ushers to evacuate the children's wing and the congregation. The pastor of that church is Jonathan Parnell. Parnell also serves as the Send Network's City Missionary in the Twin Cities, where he works to encourage fellow pastors and train church planters. He is the author of Mercy for Today: A Daily Prayer from Psalm 51 (2020), Never Settle for Normal: The Proven Path to Significance and Happiness (2017) and coauthor of How to Stay Christian in Seminary (2014). A graduate of Bethlehem College and Seminary, he previously worked on the content team at desiringGod.org where he's written hundreds of articles over the years. He and his wife, Melissa, live in the Twin Cities with their eight children.

Finding a mentor often brings immense pressure, especially when you realize you have no idea what you're actually looking for - or worse, who to trust with your growth. If you've ever felt the tension of wanting to grow as a leader but feeling stuck, this episode is for you. In Day 2 of our mentoring series, Amy Ayala and I went deep into the "heart" of mentorship. It's not just about who has the biggest platform or the most followers on social media; it's about character, resilience, and that prophetic "X-factor" that you can't teach. Amy and I talked openly about the importance of being "seen" by a mentor and why loyalty, honor, and the willingness to put in the "reps" are what actually prepare you for your next season. Whether you are looking to be mentored or you are ready to start pouring into someone else, we're breaking down what it actually looks like to lead well. You cannot be what you don't see, so let's talk about how to open your eyes to the right potential. Tag us @biancajuarezofficial and @amylynnettee on social and tell me your biggest takeaway.
