Podcasts about sunflowers

We often talk about dumb government rules and regulations and tonight will be no different. Chris Bank has been battling with the city of St. Peters, MO over the most hideous of crimes, growing too many sunflowers in his yard. Yes, Chris has had the audacity of attempting to brighten the days of others around him by growing a number of sunflowers in his yard, and by doing so has drawn the ire of the central planners of that town. It's something so dumb it's hard to believe it's happening. Unfortunately, this is not a joke.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/missouri-liberty-report--4329356/support.

This poem likens a quiet-natured, shy person to Van Gogh's famous painting 'Sunflowers'. Being called a wallflower signifies being shy and reserved, but doesn't diminish one's vibrancy or ability to inspire and arouse joy and curiosity. Just because you might be shy and quiet in nature does not mean you cannot be a colourful, interesting and inspiring person. Van Gogh's famous painting 'Sunflowers' hangs silently on a wall, yet its vibrant colours speak loudly, arousing curiosity and joy in the observer. I embrace being a wallflower and aim to inspire while quietly sharing my presence. Beverley Joy.The hidden power of a WallflowerI was recently told, in no uncertain terms‘Don't be a wallflower, Speak up, be heard.'I was taken aback, thinking 'How rude.'But quickly, I configured an alternative picture.‘But I want to be a wallflowerTo be exact, a Sunflower.'My favourite flower, bright yellow and goldLike the Van Gogh that hangs on my wall.That draws attention and arouses artistic passionViewed with curiosity, speaks out silentlyIdentified immediately, known for his creativityRespected and discussed intellectually.People ponder and smile, question and pauseIt brightens their day with wonderment and aweI'm proud to be a wallflower That hangs around to challenge and inspire.Beverley Joy © 2023 Simply Story Poetry.

What do you do when your mother's voice is silenced—but her words refuse to be forgotten?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, we sit down with sisters Jessie Lake and Molly Johnson, whose mother was tragically killed as a result of domestic violence. Years later, while unpacking old boxes, they uncovered something extraordinary—eight beautifully written children's stories she had finished before she died. What began as heartbreak has now become a mission to publish her work, share her light, and help other families heal.Their story isn't just about loss—it's about courage, faith, and finding purpose in the unthinkable. You'll hear how these two women turned silence into strength, grief into growth, and pain into a platform for awareness and hope. It's one of the most powerful conversations we've ever had—and by the end, you'll see that sometimes, the light we lose is the same light that guides us home.*** Please SHARE Jessie and Molly's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/iCNQaDwaIxUTo follow Jessie and Molly's story about their mom and her books, visit: https://www.instagram.com/bartybooksIf you know anyone who needs help with domestic violence, visit: https://www.thehotline.org-----To READ or LISTEN to Scott's book, "Faith To Stay," visit: https://www.faithtostay.com-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.#LDSPodcast #ChristianStories #LatterDayLights

Hour 1 - After headline news on Steve and Ted we move on to Lead-off Sports with Ted Woodward.

The Chiefs won in a way NFL teams aren't supposed to win. They dominated the Las Vegas Raiders in a 31-0 victory and held the visitors to three first downs and fewer than 100 total yards. On SportsBeat KC, the sports podcast of The Star and KCUR, beat writer Pete Sweeney and columnist Sam McDowell explain how it happened and what it means for the Chiefs, who return to action on “Monday Night Football” against the Washington Commanders. Also, the Chiefs welcomed back receiver Rashee Rice — and he delivered a big game — but are still missing left tackle Josh Simmons, and now defensive tackle Omarr Norman-Lott could be lost for the season. The Sunflower Showdown arrives this weekend when Kansas State travels to Kansas. The Wildcats own a 16-game winning streak in the series, but beat writers Kellis Robinett and Shreyas Laddha discuss why both teams are feeling pressure in this game. Check out this week's podcast.

We sit down with Misty Reshun — writer, speaker, and founder of Regal Crown Publishing — to explore how grief can become a powerful catalyst for healing, faith, and purpose. After the devastating loss of her son, Misty turned her pain into purpose through her book Sunflowers and Silence: Reflections from the Valley, a memoir and guided journal that offers comfort, reflection, and renewal for anyone walking through loss. Misty shares her journey of transforming heartbreak into hope and how she creates safe spaces for others to feel seen and supported. Through her words, she reminds us that grief and faith can coexist — and that restoration is possible even in silence. Listeners will be inspired by Misty's message of resilience, her reflections on writing through pain, and her mission to uplift parents, women, and faith-seekers through her community projects — Regal Sisterhood Book Club and Regal Xscapes Travel.

Today's guest, Maria Requena, is also known as Sunflower Summit, and they answer to both, so take your pick. What attracted me first was the singing, but I quickly became intrigued when I saw comments like “Chicago based queer Latinx artist and producer” and “with a mission to support their community through music and mental health discussion” and, finally, “music that hits right in the feels”.

Artem is a 12-year-old Ukranian boy who likes to spend summer days on his grandfather's sunflower farm swimming with his younger brother, Yuri. But one night in February 2022, they hear sirens and bomb blasts – and soon, they're fleeing war. Sam Wachman's debut novel The Sunflower Boys was inspired by his ancestral ties to Ukraine and his experience volunteering with Ukrainian children. In today's episode, he joins NPR's Scott Simon for a conversation about national history, the boys he tutored, and the sense of mission behind his writing.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
