"There's more exciting stuff happening outside."Ko: 수진은 잠시 고민했다.En: Sujin hesitated for a moment.Ko: 다도를 현대식으로 바꿔볼까? 아니면 전통의 중요성을 계속 강조할까?En: Should she modernize the tea ceremony, or should she continue emphasizing the importance of tradition?Ko: 그때 민석이 말했다.En: At that moment, Minseok spoke.Ko: “나는 어릴 적 할머니가 해주신 이야기가 떠올라.En: "I remember stories my grandmother told me when I was young.Ko: 그때는 전통이 무엇인지 몰랐어.En: Back then, I didn't know what tradition was.Ko: 그런데 이제 그 이야기가 내가 누구인지 알게 해 줘.En: But now, those stories help me understand who I am.Ko: 우리에게 중요한 문화야.”En: It's important culture for us."Ko: 민석의 말은 분위기를 바꾸었다.En: Minseok's words changed the atmosphere.Ko: 하나도 조금 다른 시선으로 차를 바라보았다.En: Even Hana looked at the tea with a slightly different perspective.Ko: “그렇다면, 나도 한번 제대로 봐야겠어,” 그녀가 말했다.En: "In that case, I should really take a proper look," she said.Ko: 수진은 다시 자리를 잡고 차의 향을 설명했다.En: Sujin resumed her position and described the aroma of the tea.Ko: 하나는 이제 조금 더 집중했다.En: Hana now paid a little more attention.Ko: 민석은 그들의 대화를 귀 기울여 들었다.En: Minseok listened intently to their conversation.Ko: 다도회가 끝나고, 세 친구는 벤치에 앉아 한참을 이야기했다.En: After the tea ceremony ended, the three friends sat on a bench and talked for a long time.Ko: 하나는 전통도 현대와 함께 할 수 있음을 깨달았다.En: Hana realized that tradition could coexist with modernity.Ko: 민석은 뿌리에 대한 이해가 더 깊어졌다.En: Minseok gained a deeper understanding of his roots.Ko: 수진은 친구들의 변화에 자신감을 얻었다.En: Sujin gained confidence from her friends' transformation.Ko: 전통은 어렵지 않았다.En: Tradition wasn't difficult.Ko: 그들 각자에게 소중한 의미가 되었다.En: It became a precious meaning for each of them.Ko: 경복궁의 해는 천천히 저물어갔다.En: The sun slowly set over Gyeongbokgung.Ko: 여름밤의 바람은 시원했다.En: The breeze of the summer night was cool.Ko: 서서히 어두워지는 궁궐에서, 그들은 서로의 곁에서 웃었다.En: In the gradually darkening palace, they laughed beside each other.Ko: 오늘은 그들만의 특별한 날이었다.En: Today was a special day just for them.

Javier Franco, a military veteran and dedicated community member. Javier shares his journey to Grayslake, his passion for youth soccer through AYSO, and the importance of volunteering. The conversation highlights Grayslake's welcoming spirit, the value of local involvement, and the positive impact of youth sports. With heartfelt stories and practical advice, this episode celebrates the people and programs that make Grayslake a vibrant hometown. Building Community Through Youth Soccer: Lessons from Grayslake's AYSO with Javier Franco Discovering Grayslake isn't just a podcast—it's a celebration of the people, businesses, and stories that make this hometown special. In a recent episode, host David Wall sat down with Javier Franco, a military veteran, father, and passionate youth soccer coach, to explore how local involvement, volunteerism, and the beautiful game of soccer are shaping the fabric of Grayslake. This in-depth blog post unpacks the main themes and actionable insights from their conversation, offering a roadmap for anyone looking to make a difference in their community—on or off the field. Table of Contents The Power of Local Involvement AYSO: More Than Just Soccer Coaching: Leadership Over Technical Expertise Player Development: A Long-Term, Inclusive Approach The Heartbeat of Grayslake: Community Spirit Actionable Tips for Getting Involved The Lasting Impact of Volunteering Final Thoughts: Be a Good Human The Power of Local Involvement Javier Franco's journey to Grayslake is a testament to the transformative power of community. After years of moving due to military service and work, Javier and his family chose Grayslake for its welcoming neighborhoods, excellent schools, and the “Pleasantville” atmosphere where kids and dogs play freely and neighbors look out for one another. Key Takeaways: Community Roots Matter:** Settling in a place with a strong sense of belonging can have a profound impact on family life and personal well-being. Local Businesses as Pillars:** Organizations like Grayslake Rehabilitation Center, Servpro of Northwest Lake County, and City Chevrolet of Grayslake are not just businesses—they're community partners invested in the town's success. Actionable Advice: Attend local events and support small businesses to strengthen community ties. Get to know your neighbors—simple acts like a friendly wave or a helping hand go a long way. AYSO: More Than Just Soccer The American Youth Soccer Organization (AYSO) in Grayslake is a model for how youth sports can foster community, inclusivity, and lifelong learning. Javier, now a coach and community advocate, highlights several unique aspects of the program: Structure and Philosophy Grassroots to High School:** Programs start as early as age 4 (“six-you” group) and extend through high school, with age-appropriate training and competition. Certified Coaching:** All coaches receive nationally recognized training, ensuring consistency and quality across the board. Inclusive Programs:** Beyond the core age groups, AYSO offers adult leagues and the EPIC program for children with special needs (available in nearby regions). Community-Driven Leadership Volunteer-Led:** The program thrives on the dedication of parent volunteers, many of whom have deep roots in the community. Mentorship:** Experienced coaches mentor new volunteers, creating a supportive environment for both players and adults. Expert Insight: AYSO's focus isn't just on winning games—it's about developing better players and better people. The organization's 40-year legacy in Grayslake is a testament to its impact, with multi-generational involvement and a strong sense of town pride. Coaching: Leadership Over Technical Expertise One of the most powerful messages from Javier's story is that you don't need to be a soccer expert to be a great youth coach. What matters most is your ability to lead, inspire, and connect with kids. Breaking Down the Barriers Leadership Skills Trump Technical Skills:** Javier and his wife both became coaches despite different athletic backgrounds. Their success comes from their ability to motivate and manage children, not from deep soccer knowledge. Free, Ongoing Training:** AYSO provides free, high-quality training for all coaches, including mentorship from those with semi-professional and international experience. Encouraging New Volunteers:** Many parents hesitate to volunteer, fearing they lack expertise. Javier's advice: If you can lead and care for kids, you can coach. Actionable Advice: Step up to volunteer, even if you're new to the sport. Leverage your life and leadership experience. Take advantage of training and mentorship opportunities—AYSO and similar organizations are invested in your success. Player Development: A Long-Term, Inclusive Approach AYSO's player development model is built on the belief that every child deserves the chance to grow, regardless of skill level or background. Key Elements Age-Appropriate Progression:** From basic coordination and ball control at age 4 to small-sided games and advanced skills in later years. Focus on Fundamentals:** Weekly practices and summer programs emphasize core skills like dribbling, passing, and shooting, reinforced over time. Inclusivity:** Programs are designed to welcome all players, including those with no prior experience or those with special needs. Competitive Yet Supportive Travel and Competition:** Contrary to the myth that recreational soccer isn't competitive, Grayslake teams often play against other communities, fostering healthy rivalry and growth. Player-Centric Philosophy:** The goal is to help each child improve and enjoy the game, whether they aspire to play at the highest levels or just want to have fun. Expert Advice: Choose programs that prioritize development and inclusivity over short-term wins. Encourage your child to try new things and support their growth, regardless of their starting point. The Heartbeat of Grayslake: Community Spirit Javier's story is woven into the larger narrative of Grayslake's community spirit. From the redesigned AYSO shield symbolizing town pride to the multi-generational connections at Chamber of Commerce events, the message is clear: youth sports are about more than just the game. Building Lasting Connections Family and Tradition:** Many families have been involved with AYSO for decades, creating a sense of continuity and shared purpose. Events and Outreach:** Community events like Summer Days and Taste of Grayslake bring people together, while soccer programs offer outreach to immigrant and underserved families. Actionable Advice: Attend and support local events to deepen your connection to the community. Look for ways to use sports and other activities as vehicles for outreach and inclusion. Actionable Tips for Getting Involved Ready to make a difference in your hometown? Here's how you can get started, inspired by Javier's journey: 1. Register Your Child for Soccer Visit grayslakesoccer.com for easy online registration. Follow “Grayslake Soccer 396” on Facebook for updates, photos, and community news. 2. Volunteer Your Time Coaching isn't the only way to help—consider roles in administration, event planning, or equipment management. No experience? No problem. Training and mentorship are available. 3. Support Local Businesses and Events Frequent local restaurants and shops. Attend community events and bring your family and friends. 4. Spread Kindness and Positivity Perform small acts of kindness daily—hold the door, smile, greet a neighbor. Remember that everyone is facing their own challenges; empathy goes a long way. The Lasting Impact of Volunteering Javier and David both emphasize that volunteers are the backbone of any thriving community. Whether you're coaching, helping at a food pantry, or supporting local government, your efforts matter. Why Volunteer? Personal Growth:** Volunteering builds leadership, communication, and organizational skills. Community Impact:** Volunteers create opportunities, foster inclusion, and make Grayslake a better place for everyone.

"오랜만이야, 지훈아!"En: Eunji smiled and greeted Jihoon. "It's been a while, Jihoon!"Ko: 지훈은 속으로 당황했다. "그래, 오랜만이야."En: Jihoon was inwardly flustered. "Yes, it's been a while."Ko: 지훈은 자연스러운 척 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Jihoon nodded, trying to act naturally.Ko: 하지만 마음속에는 불안감이 점점 커졌다.En: But inside, unease was growing.Ko: 세 사람은 시장을 함께 걸었다.En: The three of them walked around the market together.Ko: 상인들의 외치는 소리가 그들을 둘러싸고 있었다.En: The cries of the vendors surrounded them.Ko: 미나는 맛있는 음식을 고르고 있었고, 은지는 물고기들이 헤엄치는 수조를 바라보았다.En: Mina was picking out delicious food, and Eunji was watching the fish swimming in the tanks.Ko: 지훈은 그들을 지켜보며 마음속으로 결심했다.En: Jihoon watched them and made a decision in his heart.Ko: 오늘 아니면 언제나 말할 수 없을 것이다.En: If not today, he might never say it.Ko: 마침내, 지훈은 그들에게 털어놓았다.En: Finally, Jihoon confessed to them.Ko: "나는... 내가 잘하고 있다고 생각해. 하지만 가끔 너희가 있어서 힘들어."En: "I think... I'm doing well. But sometimes it's hard because you're there."Ko: 그의 목소리는 떨렸다. "내가 내 삶을 잘 관리할 수 있다는 걸 보여주고 싶어."En: His voice trembled. "I want to show that I can manage my life well."Ko: 미나는 놀란 표정이었다. 은지는 조용히 그를 바라보았다.En: Mina was surprised. Eunji quietly looked at him.Ko: 잠시 침묵이 흘렀다.En: Silence passed for a moment.Ko: 시장의 소음이 더 크게 느껴졌다.En: The noise of the market felt even louder.Ko: 그러나 은지가 먼저 입을 열었다.En: However, Eunji spoke first.Ko: "미안해, 지훈아. 우리는 네가 독립적으로 잘 하고 있다는 걸 알아. 너에게 너무 많은 기대를 했던 것 같아."En: "I'm sorry, Jihoon. We know you're doing well independently. We must have expected too much from you."Ko: 미나도 고개를 끄덕였다.En: Mina nodded as well.Ko: "맞아. 우리는 너를 자랑스러워해. 네가 있는 그대로 충분해."En: "That's right. We are proud of you. You are enough just as you are."Ko: 지훈은 그들의 말에 놀랐다.En: Jihoon was taken aback by their words.Ko: 전에는 들어보지 못한 말들이었다.En: He had never heard such words before.Ko: 그의 안에 있던 긴장이 풀어졌다.En: The tension within him was released.Ko: 그는 처음으로 정말로 이해받고 있다는 느낌을 받았다.En: For the first time, he felt truly understood.Ko: 그들은 함께 생선구이를 즐기며 이야기를 나눴다. 함께 웃으며 오래된 추억들도 꺼냈다.En: They enjoyed grilled fish together and shared stories, laughing and recalling old memories.Ko: 해가 지는 시장은 여전히 활기찼다.En: The market, with the sunset, was still lively.Ko: 지훈은 마음의 짐을 덜고 새롭게 시작할 수 있을 것 같았다.En: Jihoon felt relieved of a burden and thought he could start anew.Ko: 이제 그는 가족과 소통할 수 있다는 자신감을 얻었다.En: Now, he gained the confidence to communicate with his family.Ko: 지훈은 미소를 지으며 따뜻한 여름 바람을 느꼈다.En: Jihoon smiled and felt the warm summer breeze.Ko: 그는 진정으로 자유로워졌다.En: He truly felt free.Ko: 그것은 그에게 새로운 시작이었다.En: It was a new beginning for him.

Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home
What if your home could be a peaceful, joy-filled place—even in the chaos of summer? In this episode of Revival Mom, I'm sharing five powerful ways I've learned to create a Spirit-filled, peaceful home—even when my kids are bickering, the house is loud, and everything feels a little messy. These are practical steps that invite the Holy Spirit to move, shift the Christian home atmosphere, and help you begin raising kingdom kids with intention. This isn't about perfection—it's about presence. Together we'll talk about how worship, prayer, and even slowing your pace can completely shift your home's atmosphere. I'll share stories from my own life and what's worked for the moms in the Revival Mom Academy as we seek true revival in the home—starting with our words, our mindset, and the way we invite God into our everyday moments. Whether you're trying to establish new Christian family routines or simply craving more peace in your home this summer, this episode will encourage and equip you with Spirit-led strategies to begin right where you are.

In this episode, host Darnelle Radford speaks with Ross Beschler about the Wilma Theater's final production of the season, A Summer Day, written by Jan Fosse. They discuss the unique Hothouse ensemble experience, the themes of love, loss, and memory in the play, and the challenges of communication and language in expressing deep emotions. The conversation highlights the importance of ensemble work and the artistic journey of the Hothouse members. In this conversation, Ross Beschler and Darnelle Radford explore the themes of language, memory, identity, and the dynamics of relationships through the lens of the play 'A Summer Day' by Jan Fossa. They discuss how exaggeration in language can shape perceptions, the role of characters in navigating crises, and the importance of introspection versus action in understanding oneself and others. The conversation delves into the complexities of memory and how it influences identity, as well as the societal challenges of understanding and miscommunication. Ultimately, they reflect on the human experience and the significance of connection in the face of life's uncertainties.A SUMMER DAYBY JON FOSSETRANSLATED BY SARAH CAMERON SUNDEDIRECTED BY YURY URNOVJune 10–29, 2025Experience the haunting beauty of Norwegian playwright Jon Fosse's A Summer Day, directed by inventive Co-Artistic Director Yury Urnov (Mr. Burns, Minor Character, 12th Night) in a production that delves into the depths of human connection, memory, and existential longing. Is there one day in your past you keep replaying again and again? When do we start spending more time in the past than in the present? Through Fosse's poetic language and Urnov's innovative direction and immersive visual design, audiences are transported into an epic and intimate world where past and present intertwine, inviting reflection on the fleeting nature of time and the eternal search for meaning. Often referred to as a modern-day Ibsen, Fosse won a Nobel Prize in Literature in 2023 – one of the few playwrights to ever receive that honor – and is rarely produced in the United States.Chapters00:00 Introduction to the Wilma Theater and A Summer Day02:40 The Hothouse Experience and Ensemble Work11:30 Exploring the Play: A Summer Day17:24 Themes of Love, Loss, and Memory20:30 Language and Communication in A Summer Day24:30 The Power of Language and Exaggeration26:41 Character Dynamics and Intrusions29:58 Memory and Identity in Relationships32:00 Understanding and Misunderstanding in Society36:45 Introspection vs. Action39:32 Replaying Moments and Learning from the Past44:53 The Essence of A Summer DayFOR TICKETS AND INFORMATION: https://wilmatheater.org/event/asummerday/

Quick! Is anyone here an author? Yes! And her book is finally here! Our favourite psychologist, Dr Emily Musgrove, has published the most anticipated book of the year, Unstuck: A guide to finding your way forward to the life you want to live. Feeling stuck, and the yearning for something to change, is a human experience. And in Unstuck, Dr Emily doesn’t just acknowledge this feeling, she walks with you through it. We’re talking values, we’re talking an introduction to acceptance commitment therapy, and we’re talking self-compassion (among many, many other things). At its core, this book is a model for how we might approach change. It’s compulsory reading. Unstuck is available now in all good bookstores, or you can order it online here - https://bit.ly/4bhmCp2.

Revival Mom | Grow Deeper with God, Encourage children in the Lord, Christian Home
This episode lit a fire in me—and I think it will in you too. I had the absolute joy of sitting down with Summer Day, the incredible woman behind the Fear Into Faith movement, and our conversation went deep into something the modern church often avoids: deliverance. If you've ever wondered whether spiritual warfare is real or if healing and freedom are for today, this one's for you. Summer shared her journey from being skeptical to boldly stepping into deliverance ministry—and how God used her willingness to say yes to bring healing and revival into countless homes. She reminded me (and all of us) that deliverance isn't just for “certain people” or dramatic stories. It's biblical. It's powerful. And it's something every believer is called to walk in. We talked about how the spirit always recognizes truth, even when the mind resists. And how revival won't come from platforms—it starts right in our homes. With moms who are willing to stand in the gap, pray over their kids, and say, “Not today, Satan.” If the topic of deliverance feels a little uncomfortable, lean in. There's a reason the enemy wants to keep it hidden. And there's so much freedom waiting on the other side. You'll walk away from this episode feeling empowered, seen, and challenged in the best kind of way. Let's be women who don't shrink back. Let's be revival moms. Can't wait to hear what stirs in your heart after this one.

Returning guest Pete Kember (aka Sonic Boom) is back, and better than ever, as he tackles the 9th LP by The Beach Boys. As it says in David Leaf's 1990 CD two-fer liner notes: “After side two of Today!, it didn't seem possible that Brian could return to these simpler themes, but for one last album, he found a way to combine Capitol's commercial demands with his artistic calling.” Stay tuned, Pete'll be back for one of our many episodes on SMiLE!Here's just a few of the many things that Pete discusses with Discograffiti in this podcast:How Pete's obsession with The Beach Boys began;An in-depth conversation about Brian Wilson's first acid trip in April 1965;A consensus on Bruce Johnston's entrance into the band;Exactly how influenced Animal Collective's Panda Bear is by The Beach Boys;Brian's absolute hatred of his vocal for “Let Him Run Wild”;And the great “filler” debate, specifically with regard to exactly how much of it mars this record.Listen: linktr.ee/discograffitiI support a wife and a six-year-old son with Discograffiti as my sole source of income.

We've finally done it: all seven Edward Yang films discussed on Deep Cut. The only podcast to give Edward Yang the time and space he deserves as one of the all time greatest directors (and Wilson's favorite director)!We end our coverage on Yang with what is considered to be his magnum opus, 1991's A Brighter Summer Day, an intimate epic of teenage angst, romance, and rebellion that also captures Taiwan in a specific era of political and social turbulence with incredible detail. Together, we discuss ABSD's unique visual palette compared to Yang's other non-period work, and go in depth into its thematic concerns regarding Taiwan on a scale both personal and national. Wilson highlights the virtuosic blocking in large crowd scenes, Eli makes a case for proper education as the salve for social ills, and Ben asks, can a film be “too perfect”?Are you lonesome?

Tyson Yunkaporta is an Apalech man who is an academic, researcher arts critic & father. He is also the author of Sand Talk, an extraordinary reading experience. Like many of Australia's First Peoples, he has a complex identity and history but it's this that gives him authority to write and speak in a way which connects the wisdom of the past to the needs of the future. The way he thinks demands a longer term perspective. He is both philosophical and practical, compassionate yet realistic. He is filled with an other-worldly understanding of humanity. In this conversation he urges us to consider the non linear complexity of the world. He challenges our expectations, points out cultural shortcomings and invites us to recognise indigenous concepts and their history. Importantly he shows how these patterns have the potential to be incorporated into our non indigenous thinking which builds hope and possibility to benefit us all.“I don't have answers but I know that stories connect us to country. Country knows the answers. Notice it and be a custodian".Episode SummaryMinimising abstractions between lore and landThe illusion of the environment which is hidden by siloed systemsLet's look like dickheads for a minute while we work out the path forwardLooking for seasonal signs and responding to themLore carries recipes for how to live our lives with story and patternComing back into rhythm with the natural worldRunning out of time - the time to reconnect with country is nowThe dominating authoritarianism in the western world demands people are disconnected from the landscapeMutual aid activism - not about throwing bombs but making sure everyone is fed.Self determination being thwarted by authoritarianismStop looking at things and look at structures, systems and patterns insteadQuietly getting on with it - syndicate your neighbourhood with the next neighbourhoodThe bullshit of nation building is key in the decimation of connection to country.Activism is an industry Positive and negative feedback loops to understand how symbioses interlock with othersStory, ceremony and ritual for real thinking and real meaning makingUntil art became capital it was something that every human did every day to understand their place in the worldHow do we find a way of storytelling without reducing it to words"Image, dance, song - can all portray story but they have no depth of meaning if they don't have place"The lore is in the land "Leave those who are pecking over the carcass of the earth to their dying beliefs and the rest of us can get on with rebuilding relationships, stories, knowledge and place.

Richard Christiansen believes that the true definition of luxury is having one's senses on full blast—seeing, tasting, smelling, hearing, and touching the world around by engaging in its beauty and bounty to the fullest. This idea is at the heart of his company, the garden-pleasure apothecary Flamingo Estate, which is both a place—a home and garden on a seven-acre property in the hills of Los Angeles—and a brand, which operates a global farming collective and sells wellness, beauty, and “home essentials” products. In just a few years, Flamingo Estate has collaborated with cultural figures such as Julianne Moore, Martha Stewart, and Ai Weiwei, and created some 200 or so products, from C.S.A.-style farm boxes and flower arrangements, to scented candles and a rosé wine, to body washes and chocolates. Capturing the spirit of all this is a new book, Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive, which tells the story of his company's rapid rise and includes interviews with the likes of Jane Fonda, John Legend, and Alice Waters.On the episode, Christiansen talks about his lifelong connection with beekeeping and honey; why more brands should embrace “radical inconsistency” in their products; and how reading a book by Jane Goodall, and later befriending the anthropologist and conservationist, changed the course of his life.Special thanks to our Season 10 presenting sponsor, L'École, School of Jewelry Arts.Show notes:Richard Christiansen[4:24] Flamingo Estate[8:05] Flamingo Estate: The Guide to Becoming Alive[46:21] Jane Goodall[12:48] Alice Waters[15:06] Harvey[35:35] Chandelier Creative[45:51] Benetton[45:51] Colors[50:35] Rumiko Murata[52:35] Owl Bureau[58:28] “The Summer Day”
