Talk of the Town In this episode, we discuss Christian conversation — cultural, institutional, and in our encounters with the living God. Our guide is Prof. Robert Kolb, who wrote about the 'Art of Christian Conversation' in his book, "Speaking the Gospel Today." What is Christian conversation, and what is its purpose? On the other side of the table, what is a worldly conversation, and what is its ultimate purpose? Is there any difference between pre-modern and post-modern Christian conversations and secular talks? Is there anything we can learn from "Christian conversations" that can be applied and/or help us appreciate myths, legends, folk tales, and storytelling? Is it possible for our conversations to awaken us to a greater reality than what our material generation tells us about the limits of reality?

What do you do when something in your business is still making money, still getting attention, and still looks like a success from the outside… but deep down, you know it's no longer the right fit for where you're headed?In this solo episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of one of the hardest business decisions I've made recently: retiring the STR Virtual Summit for Women.On paper, it was working. But the more I looked at what my audience actually needed, the more I realized the summit wasn't the best vehicle to help women in this industry create real momentum. It was delivering a ton of information—but not enough implementation. And if you've ever bought a course, joined a summit, or downloaded the freebie only to never fully use it… you know exactly what I mean.In this episode, I'm sharing:why I chose to walk away from something that looked successful from the outsidehow I knew it was time to stop offering more information and start creating more implementationthe three questions I've been using to evaluate whether something in my business still deserves a placewhat it looks like to strategically prune offers, projects, or commitments that are pulling focus from your bigger goalshow I'm rebuilding the STR Sisterhood around a simpler, more actionable model with monthly challenges, focused trainings, and live supportI'm also sharing the thought process behind the new pricing model and why I intentionally wanted the most hands-on, implementation-focused option to be the easiest one to say yes to.If you've been holding onto a property, a service, a marketing strategy, or even a business model that technically “works” but doesn't feel aligned anymore, this episode is for you. We're talking about how to make smart pivots, clear out what's no longer serving your next level, and build a business that actually supports the life you want to live—not just one that looks good on paper.HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY POINTS:[00:01] My decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women and embrace a new direction for serving the community[01:21] Why courageous pivots require letting go of what no longer serves your mission[02:23] I share the real reason behind my decision to retire the STR Virtual Summit for Women, and it comes back to the women I created it for[03:31] The difficult realization that the biggest barrier was never a lack of information—it was the ability to actually implement what was being learned [04:22] The concept of Strategic Pruning as the lesson I want listeners to carry with them beyond this episode[05:34] My three questions for identifying what to eliminate and refocusing your business priorities [06:04] My vision for rebuilding the STR Sisterhood into a year-round community focused on action, connection, and meaningful growth [07:16] I share the boundary I'm putting in place as I reshape the STR Sisterhood and my commitment to creating a hands-on STR Sisterhood experience for women [08:49] My reassurance that the STR Sisterhood community remains open while my deeper support shifts toward women ready to take action Golden Nuggets:“You get in life what you have the courage to ask for.”“Having to pivot does not mean you have failed; it means you're paying attention. Real failure isn't changing course. Real failure is staying loyal to something that has quietly stopped working just because you're afraid of what people will think if you let it go.”“Letting go of something good, so something better has room to grow, has a name. It's called Strategic Pruning, and it's one of the hardest disciplines there is for a high achieving woman to practice.”“A good thing that pulls your focus is more dangerous than a bad thing you could easily walk away from.”“Pruning what you love is not failing, it is how you make room for what comes next.”Enjoyed the show?

The Health Minister is being accused of leaving Clare "at a standstill" ahead of the Dáil recess on Thursday. More than four months on from the announcement that the HSE has purchased a 44-acre site in Raheen in Limerick for the purpose of developing a new hospital campus, the hospital development board has yet to be established. As well as making decisions relating to the Raheen facility, the board will oversee the expansion of services at Ennis, Nenagh and St John's. Friends of Ennis Hospital spokesperson Angela Coll says nothing can be progressed at the Midwest's smaller hospitals until the board is assembled.

Relebogile Mabotja speaks to Father Thapelo Masemola, Chaplain of St John's College and a priest in the Anglican Diocese of Johannesburg, about the longstanding tradition of swearing an oath on the Bible. From courtroom testimonies to presidential inaugurations, the ritual of placing a hand on a sacred text has long been associated with a promise to tell the truth. But where did this practice originate? Is it rooted in the Bible, or has it evolved into a cultural tradition? And in an increasingly diverse and secular society, does the religious oath still have a meaningful place in public life? 702 Afternoons with Relebogile Mabotja is broadcast live on Johannesburg based talk radio station 702 every weekday afternoon. Relebogile brings a lighter touch to some of the issues of the day as well as a mix of lifestyle topics and a peak into the worlds of entertainment and leisure.

On this day, 2 July 1848, enslaved people in St Croix (now the US Virgin Islands) rebelled, burned down plantations and besieged the town of Frederiksted. The Caribbean island was at that time a Danish colony, and it had been decreed that slavery would be abolished in 1859, but the enslaved workers refused to wait. After revolutions in Europe led to turmoil in nearby Martinique and Guadeloupe, hundreds of rebels seized the moment and rose up. By the end of the day, only the local military garrison, Fort Frederiksværn, had not yet been overrun. The following day, the governor general, Peter von Scholten arrived. Faced with demands from the enslaved people to immediately abolish slavery, or they would burn the town to the ground, he relented and shouted out: “Now you are free, you are hereby emancipated.”Technically von Scholten had no authority to abolish slavery, and he was strongly criticised by enslavers and Danish authorities. But faced with a fait accompli, Denmark had no real choice but to accept the situation. The agreement achieved by the formerly enslaved people went even further than just immediate emancipation, as the order issued on the night of July 3 also applied to the Danish colonies of St Thomas and St John, and directed that the enslaved had the right to keep their current housing and provisions for three months, and that elderly and ill labourers had to be looked after by the former enslavers "until further determination".The old enslavers subsequently sued the Danish government demanding recompense for the loss of their "property". Danish Parliament rejected their claim, on the grounds that "slavery [was] itself an institution in conflict with religion and justice". But they did then agreed to pay a relatively low compensation figure of $50 per enslaved person.More information, sources and map: https://stories.workingclasshistory.com/article/9191/st-croix-enslaved-revoltOur work is only possible because of support from you, our listeners on patreon.

Though each of the Twelve Apostles has his own Feast day, on this day they are commemorated together. Of the Twelve, only St John the Theologian died in peace; the rest met a martyr's end. Following are their individual feast days and the manner of their end. Roman citizens could not be crucified: crucifixion was considered a shameful death unworthy of a citizen. For this reason the Apostle Paul was 'privileged' to be beheaded. Peter: June 29, January 16. Crucified upside down. Andrew: November 30. Crucified. James the Son of Zebedee: April 30. Beheaded. John the Theologian: September 26, May 8. Died in peace in a wondrous way. Philip: November 14. Crucified. Bartholomew: June 11, August 25. Crucified, then flayed and beheaded. Thomas: October 6. Pierced with five spears. Matthew the Evangelist: November 16. Burned to death. James the Son of Aphaeos: October 9. Crucified. Thaddeus (or Jude the brother of James): June 19. Crucified. Simon the Zealot: May 10. Crucified. Matthias: August 9. Stoned, then beheaded with an axe when dead. Paul: June 29. Beheaded.

0:00 .... Ross hello and welcome, introduces the panelists, and dedicates show #254 to Sam Mitchell, who was drafted #54 overall in the 1985 NBA Draft. 0:58 ... Giannis Antetokounmpo is now a member of the Miami Heat after the Bucks traded him on Monday night. The guys react to the trade and feel like the Bucks took a better deal from Miami than Boston was willing to offer with their package involving Jaylen Brown. 5:35 ... The Heat will need to add some shooting if they want to put a team out there that can compete even though they've added a Hall of Famer in Giannis. Ross feels that Miami can't go "cheap" and has to stay aggressive. 10:14 ... The Heat have been excellent at developing talent over the years and they will find some diamonds in the rough to complement Giannis and Bam Adebayo. 10:55 ... Ross shares his "wish list" of guys he wants the Heat to go after during the next few months. 12:00 ... The guys discuss the future for the Bucks after losing their best player. Ross feels like they may even improve on their record from last season under new coach Taylor Jenkins. Bruce was having flashbacks to 1975 when Milwaukee traded another superstar player who went on to great success with his new team. World B does not share Ross's optimism about the Bucks prospects next season. 17:10 ... Now that Jaylen Brown knows he was on the trading block, can he return to the Celtics feeling good about his relationship with the team and with fellow star Jayson Tatum? 21:49 ... Julius Randle is traded from Minnesota to Brooklyn in a three team trade that also has Nik Claxton going from the Nets to the Bulls and the Wolves shedding salary and signing Ayo Dosunmu to a contract extension. The deal frees "Nuclear Naz" Reid to start at power forward for the Wolves. 26:01 ... The guys examine the first round of the draft on Tuesday with an extended discussion of AJ Dybantsa to Washington, Darryn Peterson to Utah, and Cameron Boozer to Memphis. 30:12 ... The guys discuss the big winners in the first round ... Bruce likes OKC drafting 7'3" Aday Mara, who could develop into a defender that can battle Victor Wembanyama more effectively than Chet Holmgren did in the playoffs. 31:14 ... Bruce liked Sacramento choosing Alex Karaban, who reminds him of former Kings sharpshooter Peja Stojakovic. 32:38 ... World B liked the draft choices that Charlotte made with Christian Anderson from Texas Tech and Zuby Ejiafor from St John's. He also liked Kingston Flemings going to Atlanta as their point guard of the future. Ross really liked how Memphis snagged Karim Lopez at #21 along with Cam Boozer at #3 and also stockpiled some additional picks with some trades. 36:06 .... Biggest losers? Bruce cited the seven teams that did not have draft picks in the first round. World B felt the Nets messed up their first round pick by passing on Darius Acuff and choosing Mikel Brown. 38:21 ... Bruce has a final thought about his work on the NBA Draft between 2003-2017 when he was at ESPN. Watching the fantasy become a reality for the draftees and their families is something that he never got tired of witnessing 39:21 ... Ross wraps the show TRT 39:40 Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

The wonderful story of the Forerunner's conception and birth is told in the first chapter of the Gospel according to Luke. Together with the Most Holy Theotokos and Christ Himself, both his conception and his birth are commemorated as Feasts of the Church. His name, Johanan in Hebrew, means "The Lord is Gracious." The Prologue adds: "The news of the angel's appearing to Zacharias, of his dumbness and of the loosening of his tongue at the exact moment that he wrote 'John', was carried throughout all Israel, coming to Herod's ears. So, when he sent men to kill all the infants around Bethlehem, he sent men off to Zacharias' family house in the hills, to slay John also. But Elisabeth hid the child in good time. The king was enraged at this, and sent an executioner to the Temple to kill Zacharias (for it was then his turn to serve in the Temple again). Zacharias was killed between the court and the Temple, and his blood clotted and solidified on the paving slabs, and remained as an enduring witness against Herod. Elisabeth hid herself and the child in a cave, where she soon died. The young John remained in the wilderness alone, in the care of God and His angels." See September 5
Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Friends of the Rosary,Today, June 24, the Universal Church celebrates the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, called the Precursor or Forerunner of the Lord in the three synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, as well as in the Book of John.Like Mary, who already in the first moment of her existence, was free from original sin, John was cleansed of original sin in the womb of his mother.Therefore, for John, the day of his birth is likewise sacred. He preceded the Redeemer, representing the Old Covenant and the Law and heralding a new dispensation of grace.The nativity of John is observed six months earlier than the birth of Christ, at the time of the summer solstice. The popular custom, centered on "St. John's Fire," symbolizes Christ the Light. John was a lamp that burned and shone.Ave Maria!Come, Holy Spirit, come!To Jesus through Mary!Here I am, Lord; I come to do your will.Please give us the grace to respond with joy!+ Mikel Amigot w/ María Blanca | RosaryNetwork.com, New YorkEnhance your faith with the new Holy Rosary University app:Apple iOS | New!

Liam St. John is a rock n' roll singer and songwriter whose debut studio full length record Man of the North was released in September of 2025. He climbed out of some dark places to deliver this record. His voice grabs you by the throat and takes you on a ride through religious trauma, family dynamics, toughness, pain, and self-discovery. I keep coming back to this record, and I think this conversation will help you understand why. Quick note: The first part of Liam's vocals did not record, so I'm dropping you off about fifteen minutes into the conversation. You'll be okay. That's showbiz, bayba!

Adam's on the front porch watching one of those Oklahoma sunsets that make you forgive the state for everything else. Dave pulls up. Walks toward the house, chest out, confident, ready to record. Adam asks the only question that matters: did you bring the equipment? He did not. New baby syndrome. Joshua got his first bath that night, Lady Pamela's still on the mend and bending over a tub isn't on the menu yet, and somewhere between bathing the kids and getting out the door, the recording gear stayed home. So Dave logged a solid hour of windshield time driving back and forth across town to fetch it. The baby's worth it. Six days old and already back to birth weight, sleeping three hours at a stretch, an almost unfairly easy kid for a man who's had colicky ones before.The pour is a curveball: Saltire, a 14-year independent bottling distilled at Tomar, a first-fill Oloroso sherry cask. It's a Speyside, but nobody at the table would've guessed it. It drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, like it grew up near the ocean. The notes promise polished leather, dried cherries, tobacco, and, if you add water, burnt sugar, hazelnut, and "speckled chocolate milk," a phrase that derailed the conversation for a solid minute because nobody could agree what speckled chocolate milk is supposed to be. Cheers to Jesus. We're on the winning side.Then Adam reaches past the planned backbiting episode, grabs Francis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs off the shelf, and lands on something better: the Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist, June 24th.Here's the hook that got him. The Church only celebrates three birthdays. Jesus. Our Lady. And John the Baptist. Everybody else gets honored on the day they die, because for a saint that's the real birthday, the day they enter eternal life. So why John? The tradition says all three were born free from original sin. John wasn't conceived without it like Jesus and Mary, but he was sanctified in the womb when he leapt at the sound of Our Lady's voice at the Visitation. Born clean. St. Augustine treats it as a settled tradition, and if the Fathers are in, the guys are in.The logic of the date is the part that'll stick with you. June 24th rides the summer solstice, the longest day of the year, and from there the light starts to wane all the way down to Christmas and the winter solstice, when it turns and climbs again. John said it himself: I must decrease, so that He must increase. That's not just a calendar coincidence. It's a map of the soul. The more room you take up in your own heart, the less there is for Christ. If you want Him to be king there, you've got to get out of the way.Then the fun: how to actually live it. Put it on the calendar and get to Mass. Pray the Benedictus as a family and light a candle. Build a bonfire on the eve, John the Baptist is one of the three fires on the Catholic year. Feed the kids honey sticks and, if you're brave, dried crickets, locusts and wild honey, desert food. Make it the anchor of your summer. This is the Establish pillar in the flesh, the small traditions that hand your kids an identity they'll carry for life. Catholic spice. Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDDave forgets the recording equipment thanks to "new baby syndrome," and logs an hour of windshield time driving back for itJoshua Niles at six days old, back to birth weight and sleeping three hours at a stretch, an unfairly easy babyLady Pamela still recovering, and a dad bathing the kids to take the load offThe aside on Irish twins, baby formula, and why breastfeeding affects fertilityElizabeth Niles getting blessed by Pope Leo, and which popes "bless with their kisses"Whiskey of the week: Saltire 14-year, an independent bottling distilled at Tomar, first-fill Oloroso sherry caskA Speyside that drinks salty, like saltwater taffy, and the mystery of "speckled chocolate milk"Dave's wheat experiment, tripling the planting and cutting it by hand with a scythe, and the open call for a small-scale wheat-farming expert to email the showThe broody-hen saga, abandoned eggs, four surprise chicks, and Adam's "apartment" trick for relocating broody hens at nightWhy the episode pivoted from a planned backbiting topic to living liturgicallyFrancis Weiser's Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs as a source for feast-day livingThe Solemnity of the Nativity of St. John the Baptist on June 24thWhy the Church celebrates only three birthdays: Jesus, Mary, and John the BaptistThe tradition that all three were born free from original sin, and John sanctified in the womb at the VisitationWho John was: son of Zechariah and Elizabeth, Zechariah struck mute, "no one greater born of women"The small-t tradition that John's parents died young and he was raised in the desert by angelsJohn as the forerunner and the "best man" escorting the bride to Christ the BridegroomFifteen churches dedicated to John the Baptist in ancient Constantinople aloneJohn as patron of tailors, shepherds, and masons, and why each one fitsWhy June 24th: the summer solstice and "I must decrease so that He must increase" as a map of the soulThe real reason it's the 24th and not the 25th: the Roman calendar counting backward from the kalendsWeiser's pushback on the idea that the feast was a baptized pagan partyJust how high this feast ranked in the early Church: three Masses, abstaining from servile work, and a 14-day fast prescribed by a German synod in 1022The other two feasts of John: the Decollation (Aug 29) and the East's celebration of his conception (Sep 23)St. John Paul II on Christ as door, vine, mother hen, and actual BridegroomTier-one celebration: put feast days on your calendar and get to Holy MassJoseph Pieper on a true feast requiring the divine and abundanceFamily traditions like pierogies, and how they hand kids a Catholic and ethnic identityPraying the Benedictus (Luke 1:68-79) as a family and lighting a candleTier-two celebration: a bonfire on the eve, the three fires of the Catholic year, and feeding the kids crickets and honey sticksTier-three celebration: making the feast the anchor of your family's summer vacationREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Handbook of Christian Feasts and Customs by Francis X.

"Prescription against Heretics" — Tertullian. The Times They Are A-Changin'. In this episode, we sit with Tertullian's writing on "Prescription against Heretics." What is "the rule of faith"? What constitutes a proper seeking after divine knowledge? What does Tertullian mean by "Heretics Encourage and Perpetuate Thought Independent of Christ's Teaching"? What does he mean by "Restless Curiosity, the Feature of Heresy"? Should heretics not to be allowed to argue out of the Scriptures?

Misha Glenny and guests discuss an ancient civilisation who lived over 2000 years ago in the southwest of modern-day Libya. During prehistoric times, the Sahara Desert was greener and even had large lakes, but for the last 5000 years it has been a hyperarid environment. Extreme swings of temperature and limited surface water might make the Sahara seem like an inhospitable place to live, but an ancient people in North Africa known to us as the Garamantes thrived there. Following descriptions of the Garamantes in Roman and Greek texts, the Garamantes have often been seen as pastoral nomads, or as tribal barbarians on the periphery of the Mediterranean world. But the work of archaeologists in recent decades has revealed something different. Evidence suggests a society with flourishing towns and cities, complex underground irrigation systems, a key role in trade routes across the Sahara – and may give us a broader view of ancient history.WithDavid Mattingly Emeritus Professor of Roman Archaeology at the University of LeicesterFarès Moussa Visiting Fellow at the University of Southampton and Cultural Heritage ConsultantAndJosephine Quinn Professor of Ancient History and Fellow of St John's College, University of CambridgeProducer: Martha OwenReading list:C.M.
