In the 1960s, Leonard Bernstein famously helped to popularize the music of a then relatively obscure composer, Gustav Mahler. His work, as well as the work of other conductors, made Mahler into a classical-music household name. Mahler's symphonies are played every year all over the world, and he is firmly ensconced in the so-called canon of standard orchestral repertoire. Would it surprise you to know that Franck's D Minor Symphony once had the same reputation? It was played almost every year by most major orchestras, it was recorded by all the great conductors, and it was a fixture of the canon just like a Brahms symphony. Nowadays you would be lucky if, outside of France and Belgium, you hear Franck's Symphony once every five years, if that. The truth is that, other than a short golden period for this symphony, it has either been controversial (around the time it was premiered) or ignored (nowadays), which is a real shame, since it is a glorious piece that I would argue is drastically underrated in our modern world. The symphony was radically innovative for its time, which probably explains some of the more virulent criticism it received, but even though those innovations now sound completely normal to our ears, they are still at the heart of what makes this symphony so profoundly satisfying to listen to. Ahead of my performances of the symphony in Lille this December, I wanted to dive in and explore this unfairly ignored masterpiece. In about 40 minutes of music in three grand movements, Franck pours his soul into this work. That phrase sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I really mean it; there is an earnestness about this music that I find deeply moving, and it is something we will explore together today. We will talk about Franck's late entry into the world of composition, his reputation as an organist, and the challenges he faced in finding acceptance as a composer. Along the way, we will discuss this gorgeous piece in all of its passion and intensity. Join us!

Restless Sanctuary Episode 3: Are we collecting wood or are we longing for the sea? Listen to our new podcast about faith, restlessness and the search for meaning! In each episode James Cathcart and Albert Bogle from Sanctuary First share what it's like to be restless Christians, wrestling with the Bible and spirituality as they try and live it out today. This week they preview our theme for Advent ‘Room at the Table' discussing the resources we have been working on and the life-changing, world-changing implications of God's invitation to the table. God doesn't ignore our restlessness - God's responds to it and offers us an adventure on the wide open sea. Right now our world is very restless — politically, economically, culturally, technologically and environmentally. We are living through an age of disruption and upheaval. Many of us are longing for a sense of sanctuary, for belonging, and direction to help us face new and unprecedented challenges. At the root of Christianity James and Albert uncover a restlessness in God's heart that mirrors our own. A deep longing and restless love that searches out for each one of us. We glimpse God in the faces of one another in need and in God we glimpse our own human yearning for wholeness and love. James and Albert reckon Jesus offers sanctuary and respite for our restless souls, but that it is often a restless sanctuary, a temporary makeshift shelter in a world that we are called in turn to go out and love. The ship in their logo, designed by Jack Steel, is itself a restless sanctuary on the open water — not a shelter from the storm but a shelter through the storm. Join them every fortnight for fascinating discussions about being restless Christians in a restless world! The series is a collaboration between James Cathcart and Albert Bogle and features the track ‘Symphony of Lies' by The Bogle Band. In this episode you will also hear a clip of Derek Munn talking about Connect Groups, Maggie Lane introducing the Advent Labyrinth and the Bogle Band performing ‘Room at the table.' Find the podcast here on Sanctuary First, in our Sanctuary First App, and on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and most other podcasting platforms!

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The past several days have been extraordinary for Dolly Parton. The biggest headline is that she was honored with the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award at the 2025 Governors Awards, making this her very first Oscar after decades of contributions to music, film, and especially to charity. She accepted the honor by heartfelt video message from her home in Nashville, sharing gratitude and promising to “dream up new ways to help lift people up.” The award was presented by her friend Lily Tomlin, and Dolly wore a sparkling gold dress in the video that had social media buzzing, with People Magazine posting the clip and calling her “Star of the Show.” The Academy's award recognized her philanthropic work including the Dollywood Foundation and the Imagination Library, with major media like E! News and the Oscars' own channels highlighting her moving acceptance as a milestone in her legendary career.Her appearance at the Governors Awards was especially meaningful because it was her first major public statement since health rumors began swirling in October. Speculation caught fire when her sister Freida posted that she'd been “up all night praying,” which led some fans to fear the worst. Dolly herself took to Instagram to shut down reports and, with her trademark humor, told everyone “I ain't dead yet,” even as she acknowledged she'd postponed her Las Vegas residency to prioritize recovery from health issues, reportedly due to kidney stones according to People Magazine and confirmed by her manager. Parton's representatives say she's “getting better every day,” resting at home, and already decorating for the holidays. She has continued light work remotely and made it clear she is not retiring, only slowing down briefly as doctors advised.Fans continued to flood her posts with support, especially after she addressed the rumors and gave assurance she'll be ready for “more big adventures.” In a new interview with People, she promoted her latest memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage, reflecting on her six decades of hits and declaring, “I feel like I'm just getting started.” Meanwhile, “Threads: My Songs in Symphony,” an innovative concert series featuring Dolly's voice and storytelling on screen, played to sold-out audiences with orchestral arrangements.To summarize, in a single whirlwind week, Dolly Parton won an Oscar for humanitarianism, went viral for her reassuring spirit, quieted speculation about her health, promoted her new book, and advanced her legacy project with a major concert event. Accordingly, outlets like Entertainment Now and People are calling this a defining chapter in her ongoing career renaissance, showing once again that after nearly 80 years, Dolly remains an unstoppable cultural force.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.It has been a whirlwind few days in the world of Dolly Parton, with headlines buzzing about her creative projects, business moves, and signature candor. The most significant and biographically weighty news is the release of her new memoir, Star of the Show: My Life on Stage. Out as of November 12, this final installment in her trilogy is a sweeping reflection on her seven decades as a performer—from the Tennessee mountains to the global stage. As described by Penguin Random House and echoed by Entertainment Weekly, the memoir is part love letter to her fans, part career retrospective, and brims with rich stories of working with legends like Porter Wagoner, Kenny Rogers, and Emmylou Harris. On social media, Parton thanked fans, noting that her career “has been a love affair with the stage and the wonderful people who made it all possible.”With the holiday season approaching, she's in public view both on and off stage. The new North American tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol—a Depression-era retelling of Dickens set in East Tennessee, with music and lyrics by Dolly herself—has just opened its 2025–2026 Broadway Series run. The Carson Center and regional venues highlight the show's uplifting family-friendly spirit and appalachian touches. While Dolly herself does not appear, her songwriting is at the heart of the production.Also capturing attention, the innovative Threads: My Songs in Symphony experience marks a new chapter in how fans see and hear her work. Rolling out in Raleigh, Oklahoma City, and other cities this November, this multimedia symphonic celebration combines new orchestral arrangements, archival footage, and Dolly's own narration on screen. She describes it as the musical tapestry of her life. Audiences are especially curious about its previews of unreleased pieces from her forthcoming Broadway musical.Businesswise, Dolly Parton's collaboration with Kendra Scott just launched its third Change It! jewelry collection, inspired by her song from 9 to 5: The Musical. Harper's Bazaar reports the holiday line is all about creative reinvention, reflecting her ongoing influence on style and self-empowerment. Recent press also noted that her business empire continues to thrive through merchandise, fragrances, books, and partnerships with brands like Duncan Hines.Finally, on the lighter side: her early-rising habits—getting up at 3 a.m.—made the rounds courtesy of American Songwriter, and fan events such as Knights of the Round (Turn)Table in Long Beach honored her classic “Jolene” with an evening of musical storytelling. As for rumors, Dolly herself addressed health speculation last month, assuring fans in a personal video that she's fine, taking some time off to care for her husband and focus on work.Cultural columnists are almost unanimous: at 79, Dolly Parton remains as vital and generative as ever, weaving new threads for future generations and still finding ways to say, “I ain't got time to get old.”Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This Day in Legal History: Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. MahonOn this day in legal history, November 14, 1922, the Supreme Court heard arguments in Pennsylvania Coal Co. v. Mahon, a foundational case in American property law. At issue was a Pennsylvania statute—the Kohler Act—that prohibited coal mining beneath certain structures to prevent surface subsidence. The Pennsylvania Coal Company had previously sold the surface rights to a parcel of land but retained the right to mine the coal beneath. When the state blocked their ability to do so, the company sued, arguing that the law had effectively stripped them of valuable property rights without compensation. The case reached the Supreme Court, where Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. delivered the majority opinion.In his decision, Holmes introduced the now-famous principle that “while property may be regulated to a certain extent, if regulation goes too far it will be recognized as a taking.” This line marked the birth of the regulatory takings doctrine, which holds that government actions short of full appropriation can still require just compensation under the Fifth Amendment. Holmes emphasized that the economic impact of a regulation on the property owner must be weighed, not just the public interest it serves. In this case, the regulation was deemed too burdensome to be considered a mere exercise of police power.The Court sided with the coal company, holding that the Kohler Act, as applied, amounted to an unconstitutional taking. The dissent, penned by Justice Brandeis, warned against undermining states' ability to protect public welfare. Despite being a 5–4 decision, Mahon has had lasting influence on land use, zoning, and environmental regulation. It reframed the boundaries between public regulation and private rights, signaling that not all public-interest laws are immune from constitutional scrutiny. Today, Mahon remains a cornerstone case for litigants challenging regulations that significantly diminish property value.A Texas judge is set to hear arguments on Attorney General Ken Paxton's request to block Kenvue from issuing a $398 million dividend and from marketing Tylenol as safe during pregnancy. Paxton sued Kenvue in October, accusing the company of hiding risks linked to prenatal Tylenol use, including autism and ADHD—a claim not supported by the broader medical community. The lawsuit follows public comments by Donald Trump and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. promoting the same unproven theory. Kenvue and Johnson & Johnson, which previously owned Tylenol, maintain the drug's safety and argue the state has no authority to interfere in federal drug regulation or corporate dividends.The companies also say the dividend will not impair Kenvue's solvency and warn that Paxton's effort could undermine both the First Amendment and the credibility of Texas courts. Paxton, however, argues that the public interest justifies intervention, citing potential future liabilities from Tylenol and talc-related lawsuits. He contends that misleading commercial speech can be regulated, and that the dividend should be halted to preserve cash in the face of those risks. The case could have broader implications, particularly for Kimberly-Clark's $40 billion acquisition of Kenvue, announced shortly after the lawsuit. Kenvue has vowed to appeal any injunction.Judge to weigh if Texas AG can block Kenvue dividend over Tylenol claims | ReutersSierra Leone has reached a tentative settlement with U.S. law firm Jenner & Block to resolve a dispute over $8.1 million in unpaid legal fees. The law firm sued the West African nation in 2022, claiming it was still owed money for representing Sierra Leone in a high-stakes case against Gerald International Ltd., which had sought $1.8 billion in damages over an iron ore export ban. Jenner argued the legal work was more extensive than initially expected and said it had only been paid $3.6 million by the end of 2021.Sierra Leone pushed back, disputing the existence of a valid contract and asserting that no further payments were owed. The country also tried to claim sovereign immunity, but a federal judge rejected those arguments in January, allowing the lawsuit to proceed. U.S. Magistrate Judge G. Michael Harvey announced the settlement in principle last week, although specific terms were not disclosed. Neither party has commented publicly on the resolution.Sierra Leone, law firm Jenner & Block reach settlement over $8 million legal tab | ReutersMcDermott Will & Emery has become the first major U.S. law firm to publicly confirm that it is considering private equity investment, signaling a potential shift in how Big Law might operate. The firm's chairman acknowledged preliminary talks with outside investors, a move that stunned the legal industry, where non-lawyer ownership has long been resisted due to ethical and regulatory restrictions. McDermott is reportedly exploring a structure that would separate its legal services from administrative operations by creating a managed service organization (MSO) owned by outside investors, allowing the firm to raise capital without violating professional conduct rules.This model has gained traction among smaller firms, but McDermott's adoption could legitimize the MSO approach for large firms. Proponents argue it would free lawyers to focus on client work while upgrading support systems through external funding. Critics caution that it involves relinquishing control of critical firm functions and raises concerns about maintaining ethical standards, particularly regarding fee-sharing with non-lawyers. While still early, industry experts say other firms are beginning to explore similar paths to stay competitive, especially in jurisdictions like Arizona that allow non-lawyer ownership.McDermott's Outside Investor Talks Augur Big Law TransformationThe Trump administration has filed suit against California over its recently approved congressional redistricting maps, which were adopted through a ballot initiative known as Proposition 50. The measure, passed by voters last week, allows temporary use of new district lines that could give Democrats up to five additional U.S. House seats. The Justice Department joined a lawsuit initially filed by the California Republican Party and several voters, alleging that the redistricting plan was racially motivated and unconstitutional.U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi called the maps a “brazen power grab,” accusing California of using race to unlawfully boost Hispanic voting power. California Governor Gavin Newsom dismissed the lawsuit, framing it as retaliation for California's resistance to Trump's broader political agenda. Newsom also argued that the new maps are a necessary corrective to Republican-led gerrymandering efforts, like those in Texas, where civil rights groups have sued over alleged dilution of minority voting power.The lawsuit claims California's map violates the U.S. Constitution by improperly using race in the redistricting process. The outcome could impact the balance of power in the House and add fuel to ongoing legal battles over partisan and racial gerrymandering nationwide.Trump administration sues California over new redistricting maps | ReutersThis week's closing theme is by Ludwig van Beethoven, a composer of some note.This week's closing theme is the first movement of Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93 – I. Allegro vivace e con brio, a work that balances classical clarity with Beethoven's unmistakable wit and rhythmic drive. Composed in 1812 during a period of personal turmoil, the Eighth is often described as a cheerful outlier among his symphonies, compact and effervescent despite being written amid deteriorating health and emotional strain. It was premiered in 1814, but it was a revival performance on November 14, 1814, in Vienna that helped solidify its reputation and gave the public a second opportunity to appreciate its lightness and humor in contrast to the more dramatic works surrounding it.Unlike the grand scale of the Seventh or Ninth, the Eighth is shorter and more classical in form, often drawing comparisons to Haydn in its wit and economy. Yet Beethoven infuses it with his unique voice—syncopations, dynamic extremes, and abrupt harmonic shifts abound, particularly in the first movement. The Allegro vivace e con brio opens with a bold, playful theme, tossing melodic fragments between the orchestra with cheerful assertiveness. It's less stormy than many of Beethoven's first movements, but no less commanding.Critics at the time were puzzled by the symphony's restraint and humor, expecting more overt heroism from Beethoven. But modern listeners often recognize the Eighth as a masterwork of compression and invention. The first movement in particular plays with rhythmic momentum, frequently disrupting expectations just as they form. There's a confidence in its restraint, a knowing smile behind the forceful accents and offbeat rhythms. It's music that's both technically impressive and viscerally enjoyable, which is perhaps why Beethoven held it in especially high regard.As we close out the week, we leave you with that November 14 revival spirit—a reminder that even a “little Symphony” can land with enduring force.Without further ado, Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 8 in F Major, Op. 93 – I. Allegro vivace e con brio, enjoy! This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Spanish pop star Rosalía is back with her new album, Lux. Over eighteen tracks, she trades in the dembow beats that filled her last record Motomami for maximalist orchestral sounds more in line with Björk than Bad Bunny.  The album is dense: there's four movements, thirteen languages, arrangements by Caroline Shaw, and a wide breadth of influences – from Benedictine saints to Patti Smith. But despite (or because) all of this, Rosalía has gone on record referring to Lux as, ultimately, a pop album.  That's where we come in. On this episode of Switched On Pop, Nate and Reanna put on their tour guide hats to talk all things Lux: its sonic genre-bending, Rosalía's poetic lyricism, and her hyper-local flamenco influence.  Songs discussed: Rosalía – Berghain Rosalía – Bizcochito Rosalía – De Madrugá Rosalía – Mio Cristo Rosalía – La Yugular Björk – Joga Caroline Shaw, Roomful of Teeth – Partita for 8 Voices Rosalía – Sexo, Violencia y Llantas Rosalía – Divinize Rosalía – Porcelana Rosalía – Dios Es Un Stalker The Police – Every Breath You Take Rosalía – La Perla Johann Strauss II – The Blue Danube Drake – Push Ups Rosalía – Sauvignon Blanc Lady Gaga – Grigio Girls Adele – I Drink Wine Rosalía – Focu ‘Ranni Rosalía – Novia Robot Rosalía – La Rumba del Perdón Learn more about your ad choices.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has dominated headlines over the past several days, with news ranging from serious health updates to major cultural and business milestones. According to RadarOnline, Dolly recently canceled her six-show Las Vegas residency and pushed the dates back to September 2026 after doctors insisted she undergo medical procedures for a potentially dangerous health issue. She made a public statement to fans confirming the health challenges and her need for procedures, while friends and fellow stars like Reba McEntire and Kelly Clarkson have rallied to support her through these hard times. Behind the scenes, there is real concern among her inner circle, with insiders saying Dolly has never seemed this vulnerable, as she recuperates at her Nashville home and faces ongoing struggles with kidney stones.Despite these worries, Dolly remains very much present in the public sphere. She is in the midst of a multimedia celebration of her life and music, with her Threads My Songs in Symphony orchestral concert series selling out in cities like Oklahoma City and Raleigh, featuring Dolly onscreen sharing personal and musical stories. Dolly herself describes this project as a special way to share the story of her life through the “threads” of her songs, and these concerts have featured never-before-heard numbers from her upcoming Broadway musical, which she revealed continues to move her deeply during recent interviews with Entertainment Tonight. She spoke candidly about her late husband Carl Dean, whose passing earlier this year continues to be a source of emotional upheaval for her, especially as she watches him portrayed on stage in the new musical Dolly A True Original Musical, which has drawn critical attention for its honest storytelling and heartfelt performances.Meanwhile, Dolly's business empire continues to flourish. According to Happy Mag, her net worth stands at $650 million in 2025 thanks to smart business ventures, her Dollywood resort, her frozen foods line, philanthropy, and catalog ownership. Her upcoming memoir Star of the Show launches this week, filled with personal revelations about sacrifice, childlessness, and the demands of stardom—topics she has explored in depth on her latest media blitz. Simultaneously, her musical 9 to 5 and Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol are running in regional theaters, ensuring her music and narrative stay woven through American culture.In social media news, The New Daily and others have pointed out her viral resurgence as fans jump on her TikTok trends, especially with her older song “What's Up” gaining huge traction. Headlines highlight that while her health is fragile, her legacy and influence—both in the arts and business—show no sign of fading. Finally, on the philanthropic and public appearance front, Dolly is set to headline the Salvation Army's national Red Kettle Kickoff performance at the Dallas Cowboys' Thanksgiving Day game, underscoring her enduring appeal and commitment to public service even amidst her personal trials.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

This week, Donald Macleod explores the life and music of the often overlooked younger Haydn brother, Michael. From his early years in Vienna to his long tenure in Salzburg, Michael Haydn's career was shaped by family ties, shifting patronage, and ecclesiastical politics. His relationship with the Mozart family ranged from friendly collaboration to bitter rivalry, and his music—both sacred and secular—reflected the changing demands of the church and court. As he aged, Michael faced new opportunities and challenges, including a long-awaited reunion with his brother Joseph and a prestigious job offer that stirred unexpected doubts.Requiem in C minor pro defuncto Archiepiscopo Sigismund, MH 155 Symphony No 32 in D Major, P 23 Missa Sancti Aloysii, MH 257 Concerto for Harpsichord and Viola in C major, MH 41 Missa Sanctae Crucis, MH 56 Symphony in B flat major, MH 82 Trumpet Concerto in C major, MH 60 Die Hochzeit auf der Alm Notturno in F major, MH 185 Missa Sancti Hieronymi Symphony No 24 in A major, P 15 Tenuisti manum, MH 695 Missa Quadragesimalis, MH 552 Divertimento in C major, P 98 Ninfe inbelli Missa Sancta Theresiae Der Obersulzer Wein, MH 697 Abendlied, MH 784 Trinklied im Freien, MH 790 Flute Concerto in D Major MH 81 Divertimento in C, MH 600 Missa sub titulo Sancti Leopoldi, MH 837 Endimione: Vado per un momento Presented by Donald Macleod.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.The last few days in the world of Dolly Parton have been a masterclass in why her name still draws instant recognition and genuine affection. According to People and Cat Country, she's rolled out reservations for her much-anticipated SongTeller Hotel in downtown Nashville, a project brimming with her signature glitter and warmth. Slated to open to guests in June 2026, the hotel includes a full museum devoted to her life and legacy, immersive exhibits, and two live music venues, touted by Parton as her “love letter to Nashville,” displaying not just Nashville pride but also her business acumen. This is biographically significant—her expansion into hospitality and legacy-building continues decades after conquering music, film, and theme parks.Knox News highlights that Dollywood, her flagship theme park, is mapping out plans for explosive growth by 2050, including new rollercoasters, fresh resorts, and even a possible cruise ship, all under her guiding vision.

Social media was further abuzz thanks to her viral TikTok entry into the “What's Up?” trend, where she playfully performed the 4 Non Blondes anthem, injecting her spirit into Gen Z feeds according to Holler Country.Billboard and Effingham Radio confirm she's being honored as part of the Grand Ole Opry's centennial “Opry 100: Country's Greatest Songs” album and commemorative events, including a spotlight on her 2007 rendition of “I Will Always Love You” for Porter Wagoner. This deepens her connection to country heritage at a moment the genre reflects on its pillars.Meanwhile, Broadway fans are anticipating the regional premiere of her musical “9 to 5” and the national tour of her Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol, as reported by Interlochen and The Carson Center, ensuring her storytelling voice remains alive on stage this holiday season.Forbes reiterates Dolly's business empire is thriving, with Dollywood, royalties, cake mixes and pet products fueling her $450 million net worth, while her philanthropy and literacy efforts stay near the front of her public profile.Every note, new venture, and surprise social media cameo from Dolly this week adds to a tapestry that refuses to fray with time.

Every year, thousands of migrants risk their lives crossing the Mediterranean Sea in fragile wooden boats, hoping to reach the shores of Europe. Many arrive on the Italian island of Lampedusa, where the vessels are left abandoned. In a prison on the outskirts of Milan, inmates are transforming those discarded boats into something unexpected: musical instruments. The post From shipwreck to symphony: Prisoners in Italy turn migrant boats into violins appeared first on The World from PRX.

Also, a talk with Cranky Flier and the certification of Chinese commercial jets. Aviation News NASA takes one step closer to launching quiet supersonic jets Lockheed Martin Skunk Works®, in partnership with NASA, completed the first flight of the X-59 quiet supersonic aircraft. The X-59 is designed to demonstrate the ability to fly at supersonic speeds while reducing the sonic boom to a “gentle thump.”  Lockheed Martin X59 first flight. The X-59 took off from Skunk Works' facility at U.S. Air Force Plant 42 in Palmdale, California, before landing near NASA's Armstrong Flight Research Center in Edwards, California.

Seven years of junior high band concerts. Yep, that was the special joy Karen and I had since all three of the Hutchcraft kids were in junior high band. Oh, it wasn't always a supreme musical experience, but hey, it's our kids, right? Let's imagine you have never heard of the brilliant composer Ludwig von Beethoven before. And I say to you, "Beethoven was a genius. His music is some of the most beautiful ever written." You're a little skeptical because you've never heard any of his music, but I suggest a way you could remedy that. See, the junior high band is having a concert this week, and they're performing Beethoven's 9th Symphony. So you go, and you come back to me and you say, "I thought you said this Beethoven guy was a genius! I just heard his music. It wasn't brilliant!" Now what's the problem here? It isn't Beethoven - it's the way the band played his music. Just because they don't play his music well doesn't mean the man who wrote the music wasn't a genius! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "The Hypocrite Hang-up." I've devoted my life to telling people about the Genius who can harmonize our lives, who wrote the music that's supposed to guide everything we do. His name is Jesus. But many people - maybe you - can't bring themselves to a point where they'll put their trust in Jesus Christ to be their own personal Savior from their personal sin. And one of the biggest reasons? Christians who are hypocrites. That's why I'm so glad for today's word for today from the Word of God, where Jesus clarifies what, and who, is the real issue in this whole Christian thing. Mark 2:14, our word for today from the Word of God, "As Jesus walked along, He saw Levi sitting at the tax collector's booth. 'Follow Me', Jesus told him, and Levi got up and followed Him." Jesus sums up here the central decision we all have to make by issuing a clear, two-word invitation that He gave to so many people: "Follow Me." Jesus basically is saying, "I'm the issue. Your decision is about me." He repeated that invitation so many times when He was on earth. And listen, He's done it millions of times since then and I think He's extending it to you today. As for those Christians who aren't a very good advertisement - well, they're like that junior high band trying to play the Beethoven symphony. Unfortunately, some of us don't play Jesus' music very well. But it has nothing to do with Jesus. He's still the Genius who forgives our failures, who loves us with a "never leave you" love. He promised, "I'll never leave you." And who can take us to heaven when we die because He walked out of his grave and conquered death. Jesus never said, "Follow My followers." He never said, "Follow My leaders," or "Follow My religion" or "Follow My rules." He said, "Follow Me." The only reason not to be a Christian is if you have something against Jesus. And there wasn't a trace of hypocrisy in Him. All that's going to matter when you keep your appointment with God is what you did with Jesus, God's one and only Son who died on the cross to pay...not for His sins, but for yours. Honestly, there's just no place to hide when it comes to Jesus. Either you commit yourself to this Man who died for you or you turn your back on Him and you walk away. It's all about Jesus. And maybe you're ready to surrender all the baggage that has kept you from experiencing His love for yourself. Forget all those people that in your mind are between you and Him. It's Jesus and you, because it's Jesus you're trusting, not Christianity, not Christians. Maybe you're ready to begin this relationship you were created for. I hope you are. Tell Him, "Jesus, I'm yours. You died for me. You're alive and I'm giving myself to You." And then, would you go to our website? I've laid out there how to be sure you belong to Him. It's ANewStory.com. On Judgment Day, it will just be you and Jesus. Today it's you and Jesus. There's an old hymn that puts it this way: "What will you do with Jesus? Neutral you cannot be. For someday your heart will be asking, 'What will He do with me?'"

Interview Date: May 11th, 2025Houston Ballet soloist Jacquelyn Long traces her path from living-room pliés with her mom (a former pro) to summer intensives, HBII, and the main company. She shares how relationships and coachability shaped her trajectory, why modern/contemporary versatility now matters as much as classical technique, and how social media helps—but shouldn't replace—the messy, vital process. We dig into audition materials, the “right” photos, favorite roles (Sylvia! Cinderella!), life as a working ballerina (weekly schedule, contracts, AGMA, benefits), pointe-shoe realities, nerves and mindset, longevity habits, and her growing passion for choreography.
