In this episode, I sit down with former NFL tight end Greg Olsen — a man who built one of the most decorated careers in professional football, but whose greatest story has nothing to do with what happened on the field. We talk about Greg's upbringing in an all-boys household led by a high school football coach father who pushed hard, loved harder, and never let his kids settle for less than their best. Those lessons — accountability, perseverance, and doing the hard things when no one's watching — are ones Greg still carries and now passes on to his own kids. We also get into the youth sports landscape today, the difference between a helicopter parent and what Greg calls a "Zamboni parent," and why letting your kids face real adversity early is one of the greatest gifts you can give them. Greg's philosophy is simple: you can teach skills, but you cannot coach desire. But the heart of this conversation is TJ. Greg opens up about the moment an ultrasound revealed that his son TJ had hypoplastic left heart syndrome — a condition where only one side of the heart is functional and is 100% fatal if left untreated. He walks us through what it was like to be a husband, a father to other kids at home, and a starting NFL player — all while his newborn son was recovering from open heart surgery. And how he and his wife Cara made a conscious decision every single day to stay aligned, take turns being strong for each other, and refuse to let the weight of the uncontrollable destroy what they had built together. This episode will challenge you, move you, and remind you that the measure of a man is not how he performs when everything is going well — it's how he leads when he has absolutely no control.

[45:17] The moment at 14 that clicked — getting a scholarship offer from the University of Miami and realizing this could be bigger than high school [47:03] Long-term vision over short-term comfort: why every hard decision Greg made in high school was worth it [49:48] Why today's kids face more distraction than ever — and what Greg would tell them [50:04] The kind of friends that will make or break you — Greg's advice on who to surround yourself with [53:32] What Greg would tell his 14-year-old self: stop and smell the roses, because the hard stuff is coming [57:04] What Greg wants from every kid he coaches: great attitude, great teammate, and fiercely competitive Five Key Takeaways The harder a coach or parent pushes you, the more they believe in you. When they stop pushing, they've stopped seeing potential. Protecting your kids from every hard thing is not love — it's setting them up to fail. Let them face adversity early, while the stakes are still low. When crisis hits your family, the most important decision you can make is to stay aligned with your spouse. If you two fall apart, everything falls apart. Men are wired to fix things — but some of life's hardest seasons require you to simply show up, support, and surrender control. That's not weakness. That's leadership. You can teach skills, but you cannot coach desire. If your kid has a competitive fire and a great attitude, they will find their way — in sports and in life.

Greg Olsen had every reason to fall apart. A newborn son fighting for his life. Two other kids at home. A wife who needed him. A season that wouldn't pause. And yet, he and Cara chose every single day to stay aligned, to keep moving, and to give their kids the most normal, love-filled life they could. That is the standard. That is what it means to lead a family. If this episode moved you, share it with a father who is carrying something heavy right now and needs to be reminded that he is not alone.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports severe storms pummel parts of US with snow and high winds and raise tornado threat.

AP correspondent Julie Walker reports storms cancel more US flights, as TSA remains under pressure from a partial government shutdown.

It happened on an ordinary day.Jesus had withdrawn to a solitary place to pray—something he did regularly, a rhythm his disciples had observed countless times. After Jesus finished praying, one of his disciples approached him with a request that would change everything: "Lord, teach us to pray" (Luke 11:1).It's a remarkable request when you think about it. These were Jewish men. They'd been praying since childhood. But they'd seen something different in Jesus. They'd watched him pray with an intimacy, an authority, an expectation they'd never witnessed before. His prayers weren't performances or recitations.  When Jesus prayed, things happened. Sick people were healed. Demons fled. Storms calmed. The Father's will was done.We will go deeper in the Lord's prayer around five phrases in the prayer: Our Father, Your Kingdom, Give us, Forgive us, Lead and Deliver us. This is an invitation to go deeper by Learning to Pray with Jesus.

Many believers start on fire for God—full of awe and excitement—but that often fades with time. In this message, see how we can have an awe that lasts. Notes: Luke 8:16–56 The problem is when we stop fighting to keep the fire lit. Read Luke 8:16–18 (NKJV) The Secret to Sustained Awe The way you keep your awe alive is by actively receiving and actively sharing the light you've been given. Luke 8:18“Therefore take heed how you hear.” Read Luke 8:19–21 Luke 8:21“My mother and My brothers are these who hear the word of God and do it.” Read Luke 8:22–25 Storms That Reset Storms expose what we really trust. Storms can also reset our perspectives. Luke 8:25 (NLT)Then He asked them, “Where is your faith?”The disciples were terrified and amazed. “Who is this man?” they asked each other. “When He gives a command, even the wind and waves obey Him!” The storm didn’t reveal how powerful the wind was; it revealed how powerful Jesus was. Every storm we face is an invitation to trust the One who commands the wind and obey Him. Daniel 3:17 (NLT)“If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, Your Majesty.” Daniel 3:18 (NLT)“But even if he doesn't, we want to make it clear to you, Your Majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up." Jesus endured the greatest storm, which was taking our sin on the cross. Read Luke 8:26–39 (NKJV) The Awe of Deliverance John 10:10 (NKJV)"The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.” The demons were begging Jesus, because even the powers of hell must submit to the authority of Jesus Christ. Luke 8:37 (NKJV)Then the whole multitude of the surrounding region of the Gadarenes asked Him to depart from them, for they were seized with great fear. And He got into the boat and returned. Luke 8:39"Return to your own house, and tell what great things God has done for you." And he went his way and proclaimed throughout the whole city what great things Jesus had done for him. The man who was sitting in spiritual and physical darkness just became a lampstand. Jesus stepped into our darkness so we could:be forgiven,be restored,become children of God. — Become a Harvest Partner today and join us in knowing God and making Him known through media and large-scale evangelism, our mission of over 30 years.

You've done the things you were supposed to do. But underneath it all, there's a quiet question that won't leave you alone: "Is this all there is?" In this episode, Steven Webb shares the deeply personal story of lying in a hospital bed at eighteen, paralysed and unable to speak, wrestling with the two biggest questions of his life. What he discovered is that "is this all there is?" isn't a sign of ingratitude or crisis. It's a doorway to something extraordinary: wonder, mystery, and the breathtaking magic of not knowing. Drawing on the wisdom of Rumi, Alan Watts, and Zen teacher Shunryu Suzuki, Steven explores how we can trade our cleverness for bewilderment and see the world through beginner's eyes again.Who Is This Episode For?This episode is for anyone who has ever looked at their life and felt that quiet ache of "is this it?", especially when everything looks fine on the outside. If you're in midlife and questioning what it's all been for, if you feel guilty for wanting something deeper when you know you should be grateful, or if you've simply stopped seeing the magic in everyday moments, Steven Webb recorded this conversation for you.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeSteven opens with a vivid image of a butterfly landing in front of you and asks when you last truly saw the world for the first time. He then takes you back to his hospital bed at eighteen, where two questions rattled around in his mind for months: "Who am I?" and "Is this it?" He explores why this question tends to arrive in midlife, when the forward momentum of building a career, a family, and a life finally slows down enough for you to look around and wonder what it was all for. Carl Jung's idea of the second half of life as a turning inward sits alongside Rumi's invitation to sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment, Alan Watts' beautiful image of the unknown becoming a window rather than a blank space, and Shunryu Suzuki's teaching on beginner's mind. Steven weaves in a story about a little girl discovering that the world through a caravan window is the same world outside the door, and his own moment watching a wave at the Headland Hotel and realising that exact wave would never happen again. The episode closes with a powerful reframe: the question was never really "is this all there is?" The question was always "am I paying attention?"Memorable Quotes from This Episode"That question is not a sign that something's wrong with you. It might actually be one of the most important questions you've ever asked." — Steven Webb"You are not ungrateful. You're not broken. You are not having some kind of crisis." — Steven Webb"Not knowing didn't become a wall. It became a window." — Steven Webb"Sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment." — Rumi"In beginner's mind there are many possibilities, but in an expert's mind there are few." — Shunryu Suzuki"The magic is in not knowing. The magic is in the fact that right now, in this moment, you are a conscious being in an incomprehensibly vast universe, and you have no idea why. And to me, that's not depressing. That's breathtaking." — Steven Webb"The question was never really, is this all there is? The question was always, am I paying attention?" — Steven WebbTry This TodayNext time the "is this it?" feeling visits you, don't push it away. Go outside or look out of a window. Pick one thing: a tree, a cloud, a bird, a wave. And look at it as if you've never seen it before. Because in a very real sense, you haven't. That exact moment, that exact configuration of light and shadow, has never existed before and will never exist again. Let yourself be bewildered by it.Supporter ThanksThis podcast is completely free and has no adverts or sponsors. It is made possible entirely by the kind people who treat Steven to a coffee.

Storms come to everyone, but heaven sees them differently than we do. In this faith strengthening message, we are reminded that God's perspective in the middle of the storm is never fear, confusion, or defeat. Through Scripture and real life testimony, this message reveals how the covenant promises of God give believers a firm place to stand even when circumstances feel overwhelming. When we shift our focus from the waves to the Word, faith rises, peace returns, and we begin to see our situation the way God sees it. God's Perspective In The Storm will encourage you to trust His promises, stand on the covenant, and discover that even in the middle of life's fiercest storms, God is still working His purpose and bringing you through.

A rapidly strengthening storm could evolve into a bomb cyclone, unleashing blizzard conditions in the Midwest and severe thunderstorms, flooding rain and damaging winds in much of the central and eastern United States. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Buckle up, Chicago: It's going to be a wild weather ride for the next week. “What we're about to endure over the next couple days can only be classified as the real March madness."

We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC I got an email from Discmakers, my CD manufacturer, saying they were forced to raise their prices because of tariffs by our president. This is a tax on Americans. So if you love CDs, remember that the prices will go up. So please support those higher priced CDs. But there is an option for those who don't want to buy CDs and for those who want a better alternative for the environment. It's the Album Pin. Album Pins are lapel pins themed to a particular album. You get a digital download of the album. Then you can wear your album. All of my latest Album Pins are wood - burned and locally produced. This makes them better for the environment. And they are fun and fashionable. If you want to learn more about Album Pins, you can read more about them on my celtfather.Substack.com or just buy one at magerecords.com THANK YOU PATRONS OF THE PODCAST!

Tracy Lucky emailed a photo: "Standing ovation. Hi Marc, I just wanted to drop a line to give a standing ovation for your incredibly eloquent response to the critique e mail you received. I absolutely loved it. Yes, politics are sometimes unpleasant to hear about but it important, now more than ever, to stand by kindness and justice for everyone. Also, for anyone who thinks Celtic music isn't inextricably tied to politics, you haven't been listening hard enough. You may lose some followers over your stance, but I just backed you here to help minimize whatever impact that may have. I love to listen to your podcast while working as it makes my day pass so much faster. Beshaba (attached) seems to like the happy tunes as well while she stares at me like a wee gremlin. She especially likes your album Selcouth and always comes for a little visit when I play it." Cristen Y posted on Patreon: "Hello there! I've been exploring my Irish and Scottish Heritage and have enjoyed supporting you here on Patreon and listening to the podcast. I was curious if you knew of any artists or albums that feature keening songs. I know keening is associated with grieving so I can imagine that there is a sacredness to it and it may not be considered to be respectful to record. I would love any insight you have. Also, I saw your Celtfather post about standing up for the things we  love and care about. Thank you for modeling courage and using your voice and platform to speak out against the atrocities occurring because of our current administration. I also hope that you recognize the resistance of making music and elevating the voices of other artists; that in and of itself is admirable! Onward!"

In this episode, I'm revisiting a message I previously shared with our church because the truth in it is just too good not to share again. Looking at the story of Noah and the flood in Genesis, we talk about what it means to trust God when life feels overwhelming. Storms will come, but God provides what we need to stay afloat in the middle of them. My hope is that this message encourages you to keep trusting Him.

Guests: Doug Hilderbrand & Jennifer Sprague-HilderbrandWhen you think about the weather world, you might picture satellites spinning overhead, supercomputers crunching data, or meteorologists trying to explain that yes, the cone is not the size of the storm. But behind all of that is a whole community of people working together to keep us informed and safe. Today, we're joined by two people who know that ecosystem better than almost anyone: Doug and Jennifer Hilderbrand, co-founders of the American Weather Enterprise Association. Together, they're building a space where the public, private, and academic sectors can actually talk to each other — and maybe even agree on a few things — to strengthen the entire weather community. We'll dive into why they launched the association, what they hope to change, and how collaboration can help us all navigate a future with more complex storms, more data, and more demand than ever.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Weather Community03:04 Personal Journeys into Meteorology06:03 The American Weather Enterprise Association Explained07:56 The Importance of Economic Valuation in Weather13:16 Break 113:45 Building a Strong Foundation for the Future20:00 Advocacy and Engagement with Policymakers25:50 The Personal Dynamics of Building an Organization26:30 Break 232:02 Conclusion and Future DirectionsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Most people think spiritual warfare is about dramatic moments of temptation or obvious attacks. But what if the real battle is happening quietly in your mind during everyday frustrations, disagreements, and storms of life? In this episode they walk through Philippians 4 and uncover how the Apostle Paul reveals the pathway to peace that surpasses understanding. Through real life stories, scripture, and practical discipleship, this conversation explores how the enemy often works through distraction, disagreement, and difficulty rather than obvious sin. Learn how fixing your mind on God changes how you walk through storms, conflict, and uncertainty. If you want to understand how to experience God's peace in the middle of life's chaos, this conversation will challenge the way you think about spiritual warfare and faith.   Did you accept Christ today?

It's easy to pray for a move of God... but have you personally positioned yourself to feel and see it when it happens? It's easy to pray big prayers but even harder still to exercise the faith that they really can come to fruition by the grace of God. This week's episode is a challenge to align yourself with where the winds of God's Spirit are moving so that you don't miss the blessing or the miracle when it comes.

Big Idea: Storms are stories of discovering God Problem: We trust our wisdom until God sends a storm beyond it. Solution: Cry out to God, and He will meet you in the storm and carry you to a safe haven. Vision: A church of people who tell their story of how God met them in the storm, carried them through what they could not control, and brought them safely to the h aven their hearts were longing for. Steps to Change: 1. Admit there are storms to great for you. 2. Cry out to the Lord. 3. Discover God and find safety with Him Call to Worship: Titus 3:3–7 (ESV) 3 For we ourselves were once foolish, disobedient, led astray, slaves to various passions and pleasures, passing our days in malice and envy, hated by others and hating one another. 4 But when the goodness and loving kindness of God our Savior appeared, 5 he saved us, not because of works done by us in righteousness, but according to his own mercy, by the washing of regeneration and renewal of the Holy Spirit, 6 whom he poured out on us richly through Jesus Christ our Savior, 7 so that being justified by his grace we might become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.

Dave Murray, 97.1 FM Talk Chief Meteorologist joins to warn us about the storms and cold weather coming to the area.

In Matthew 28, Jesus was given all authority in heaven and on earth. In that same passage, He passed the baton of authority on to us as believers. All of us as believers should be walking in Jesus' authority. When the disciples couldn't cast out a demon in Mark 9, Jesus called them an unbelieving and perverse generation. Could it be that Jesus' frustration towards us comes from our lack in doing the same things He did when He walked on the earth? 

Severe storms with damaging wind gusts, hail and tornadoes, will take hold across portions of the central United States toward the middle of the week. Also, warmer air will push out the Northeast chill as much of the eastern U.S. turns 15-25 degrees above average, with some communities from Florida to the Ohio Valley challenging record highs.

Where do you go when the storms and pains of life come? We need truth for our suffering to anchor our souls amidst the winds and the waves. In our suffering God promises to never leave us or forsake us and God promises to work all things together for His glory and our good.

Storms are a part of life. Sometimes they come without warning, and sometimes they arrive even when we're doing exactly what God has asked us to do. In this sermon, Matthew Balentine explores the powerful story of Peter walking on water in Matthew 14:22–33 and what it teaches us about faith, fear, and trusting Jesus when life feels overwhelming. The disciples found themselves struggling against the wind in the middle of the night, but the moment Jesus stepped onto the water, everything changed. This message reminds us that the goal of faith is not to avoid storms but to stay anchored to Jesus through them. Even when Peter began to sink, he discovered that little faith placed in the right person is enough for rescue. If you've ever felt like the wind is against you—emotionally, spiritually, or physically—this sermon will encourage you to lift your eyes above the waves and focus on the One who walks on them. In this episode: Why obedience to Jesus does not guarantee a storm-free life How Jesus meets us in the middle of our struggles What Peter's step out of the boat teaches about courage and faith Why even “little faith” can lead to powerful transformation How storms can move us from fear to worship and renewed mission Scripture: Matthew 14:22–33 The anchor for our lives is not the boat, the storm, or even our own strength. The anchor is Jesus.   Ninth Avenue Church of Christ Helping people grow in faith, follow Jesus, and share His hope with the world. Subscribe for weekly sermons and biblical teaching.

In 1977, a soldier walked into a glowing mist in the Chilean mountains and returned fifteen minutes later with five days of stubble on his face. A pilot flew 250 miles in 34 minutes through a luminous fog over the Bermuda Triangle. An RAF Commander looked down from his biplane and saw an airfield four years before it existed. Two families checked into a French hotel that vanished two weeks later — along with every photo they took inside it. British researcher Jenny Randles spent decades collecting these cases and found they all share the same symptoms: silence, tingling, glowing mist, and broken time. Her conclusion connects UFOs, ghosts, and alien abductions to one phenomenon. The physics backs her up.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JLi5LOtzWBs

We're back for another Mental Man Monday livestream — solo style. As part of PSA: The Mental Health Podcast, a men's mental health podcast that blends culture, faith, and real conversations, Izzy returns to unpack several viral moments happening across social media. For listeners searching for a mental health podcast for young adults navigating friendships, public pressure, and emotional growth, this episode explores how everyday headlines reveal deeper truths about loyalty, ego, and emotional discipline in the social media era.The livestream opens with a viral conversation about friends who watch everything you post but never support you. Izzy reacts to the growing frustration many creators feel when their own circle stays silent while strangers show love online. Is it jealousy? Is it simply the algorithm? Or is it a deeper truth about realizing that some people were never really meant to support your journey in the first place? Izzy breaks down the mental side of chasing validation, recognizing subtle red flags in friendships, and understanding that sometimes the people closest to you simply are not your intended audience. The conversation then shifts to Matthew Knowles going viral after abruptly ending an interview when Tina Knowles was mentioned. Was it pride, boundaries, or simply a man refusing to revisit chapters of his life that no longer serve him? Izzy reflects on what the moment teaches about emotional restraint, maintaining composure in public conversations, and knowing when protecting your peace is more valuable than explaining yourself to the internet.From there, the discussion moves into the ongoing tension between T.I. and 50 Cent, where family members have now begun entering the conversation. While it may look like typical rap drama on the surface, Izzy explores the deeper questions beneath it: loyalty, public reputation, and the complicated position men find themselves in when defending family while still trying to move with wisdom. Sometimes silence becomes the strongest response, and sometimes speaking up creates more problems than it solves.Throughout the livestream, Izzy walks through the familiar PSA framework that guides each discussion: what does this situation reveal about mental health, what would I personally do in this situation, what would Jesus do in moments of conflict, and what should men actually do when navigating pressure, pride, and public expectations.The result is a conversation that blends culture commentary, emotional intelligence, and real talk for men navigating friendships, family dynamics, and social media visibility. In a time where everyone is watching but not everyone is rooting for you, Mental Man Monday continues creating space for men to process life honestly without pretending to have everything figured out. Because sometimes the loudest lesson is not the drama itself. Sometimes the real lesson is discovering who is truly in your corner once things start moving. Listen, reflect, and keep building.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/p-s-a-the-mental-health-podcast--5520511/support.TrustBuilder Package

Let go of control, of worry, of the past. It sounds lovely, but how do you actually do it, especially when it feels like you're holding everything together? In this episode, Steven shares a deeply personal story about stubbornness, disability, and the moment he discovered that freedom doesn't come from letting go at all. It comes from acceptance.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeSteven opens with the story of his first years after leaving hospital with a spinal cord injury, and the nearly two year battle with his own stubbornness before accepting an electric wheelchair that transformed his life. From there, he explores why the phrase "let go" can actually create more suffering, not less, and offers a powerful alternative: acceptance. The episode includes a simple practice you can try today to step out of the tug of war with whatever you've been fighting.Key ThemesIdentity and stubbornness: how pride keeps us stuckWhy "letting go" can become just another thing to fail atThe difference between letting go and acceptanceThe quicksand effect: the more you force, the deeper you sinkThe butterfly analogy: opening your hand without expectationHow acceptance creates space for life to moveFreedom as a result of acceptance, not forceMemorable Quote"Freedom is not about letting go. Freedom is about acceptance. When you accept something, truly accept it, you take away its power over you."Try This TodayFind a quiet moment. Think about something you've been trying to force yourself to let go of. Instead of pushing it away, open your hands, palms up, and say to yourself: "This is here. I'm not going to fight it today."

Guest: Dr. Russell SchneiderSpring may mean blooming flowers and warmer days, but for meteorologists, it means something else entirely: severe weather season is officially here. As we head into the months when thunderstorms sharpen, tornadoes spin up, and the atmosphere becomes anything but predictable, there's one place every forecaster and weather enthusiast looks to: the Storm Prediction Center. Today, we're joined by the Director of the SPC Dr. Russell Schneider, the person who helps oversee the outlooks, mesoscale discussions, and tornado and severe thunderstorm watches that millions depend on when the stakes are high. We'll look back at what last season taught us, talk about what's on the horizon for this year, explore how new tools — including emerging AI guidance — are shaping the forecasting landscape, and discuss the growing influence of storm chasers and open-access model data.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Severe Weather Season01:03 Dr. Russell Schneider's Journey to Meteorology04:42 Understanding the Storm Prediction Center (SPC)10:17 Reflections on the 2025 Severe Weather Season11:54 Break 112:38 Shifts in Tornado Activity and Trends15:54 The Spectrum of Severe Weather Hazards22:08 Preparing for the 2026 Severe Weather Season25:20 Break 225:49 Innovations in Weather Forecasting Technology30:01 Communicating Weather Risks Effectively33:53 The Role of Storm Chasers and Social MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Every Christian has experienced days or even seasons of feeling extreme guilt over past or present sins, thinking that God is angry or disgusted with them—sometimes even wondering if they’re truly saved. This often happens when believers fixate on their sins while forgetting what Christ has already done on their behalf at the cross.
