HOUR 1 Colorado politics takes center stage in this intense hour of Rush To Reason with John Rush, Andy Peth, and Charlie Grimes. What happens when a political strategy meant to “expand the tent” actually risks splitting the vote? The conversation begins with a deep dive into Greg Lopez's decision to run as an unaffiliated candidate, raising a critical question: Will his campaign attract new voters—or simply pull support away from Republicans? The hosts explore the complex psychology of Colorado's unaffiliated voters, debating whether they truly act independently or consistently lean left on election day. Could Lopez's strategy unintentionally strengthen Democratic dominance in the state? The discussion then widens to national headlines following Tucker Carlson's controversial comments, prompting debate over foreign policy, media influence, and the shifting landscape of political commentary. Finally, the hour turns to the future of Colorado's political leadership, with speculation about whether Senator Michael Bennett could become the state's next governor—and what that might mean for policy on taxes, guns, and government power. If internal party divisions continue, could Colorado face a dramatic political shift in the next election cycle? HOUR 2 Hour 2 dives deeper into the political fallout surrounding Greg Lopez's decision to run unaffiliated in Colorado. John, Andy, and Charlie dissect the strategy and ask a blunt question: Does this campaign actually broaden the political playing field—or does it split the conservative vote and hand Democrats an even bigger advantage? The conversation explores the behavior of Colorado's rapidly growing unaffiliated voter bloc, with the hosts arguing that many of these voters consistently elect Democrats despite rejecting tax increases and government expansion at the ballot box. Could this contradiction make Lopez's path even harder? The discussion then pivots to national media controversy after Tucker Carlson's remarks about war and surrender spark outrage and debate about Israel, U.S. foreign policy, and the responsibilities of influential commentators. Finally, the hosts look ahead to the next election cycle and raise a sobering possibility: could Michael Bennett become Colorado's next governor? If so, what would that mean for policies involving taxes, guns, health care, and TABOR? As internal battles within the Colorado GOP intensify, the hour closes with a warning that the biggest political threat may come from division within the party itself. HOUR 3 Hour 3 of Rush To Reason turns to a topic nearly everyone has an opinion on: America's tipping culture. A new survey claims that more than 80% of Americans believe tipping has spiraled out of control, and John, Andy, and Charlie dive into the growing backlash. Why are customers suddenly being asked to tip everywhere—from coffee counters to fast-food registers—and is the constant pressure pushing people past their limit? Listeners join the conversation with real-life stories about restaurant service, tipping etiquette, and the difference between earning a gratuity and expecting one. When does great service deserve a bigger reward, and when does the digital screen asking for a tip feel more like a demand than a thank-you? The discussion also explores how tipping works in other industries, including casinos, breakfast diners, and service jobs where tips traditionally mattered most. But as technology, taxes, and payment systems change, could the entire tipping model be shifting? With callers weighing in and strong opinions on both sides, the hour asks a question many Americans are now wondering: has tipping reached its breaking point?

In this episode of the JAMODI Podcast, host Matt Sayman sits down with Preston Tabor, the new head men's basketball coach at Paris Junior College. After beginning the season as an assistant coach and being elevated to interim head coach just three games into the year, Tabor quickly embraced the opportunity and was officially named the head coach shortly after.Coach Tabor shares what it was like stepping into the head chair overnight, the leadership challenges that come with it, and how he immediately established the pillars of his program: togetherness and toughness.The conversation dives deep into building a culture where players take pride in doing the hard things that lead to winning — diving for loose balls, rebounding with physicality, communicating during adversity, and embracing a blue-collar identity. Tabor also discusses lessons learned from his time at the University of North Texas under Grant McCaslin and Ross Hodge, where he experienced elite defensive culture and championship-level preparation.Throughout the episode, Coach Tabor explains how intentionality, competitive practices, and player accountability shape the foundation of his program. He shares how small-sided games, constant competition in practice, and a focus on rebounding and defense create a mindset where players thrive in difficult moments rather than avoid them.Whether you're a coach looking to build a culture, a player wanting to understand what winning habits look like, or a leader seeking to develop toughness in your team, this episode is packed with practical insights and real basketball wisdom.Topics covered include:• Transitioning from assistant coach to head coach mid-season• Establishing culture through toughness and togetherness• The difference between playing hard and truly competing• Building a blue-collar team identity• Creating competitive practices that drive improvement• Teaching players to embrace adversity and thrive in tough moments• Defensive mindset and controlling the game without gambling• Developing rebounding habits and winning plays• Coaching with intentionality and clarityThis episode is a must-listen for coaches who want to build a program where players buy in, compete daily, and take pride in doing the hard things that lead to winning.Subscribe to the JAMODI Podcast for more conversations with basketball coaches and leaders about culture, program building, leadership, and player development.

Ten polski obraz okazał się „strategiczny”. Uznali dzieło sztuki za tak groźne, że wyznaczono za nie nagrodę wartą fortunę — i grozili śmiercią za samo ukrywanie. Na szczęście obraz został zwinięty w rulon, przewieziona w tajemnicy i zakopany tak, by nikt go nie znalazł. Dlaczego? Bo nawet wrogowie wiedzieli, że pewne obrazy podnoszą naród z kolan.I właśnie od tego przechodzę do Góry Tabor. Jezus też daje swoim uczniom „obraz”, po to, by umieli przejść przez noc krzyża. Nie na pokaz. Nie dla sensacji. Dla wierności.A potem schodzimy z góry do codzienności. Do historii, które brzmią jak „przypadek”, ale zostają w sercu jak znak: olśnienie modlitwą „Ojcze nasz”, rzadki ptak pod oknem człowieka, który całe życie kocha ptaki, i jeden prosty gest w szpitalu, który staje się dla kogoś uśmiechem Pana Jezusa.Jeśli czasem pytasz: „czy to wszystko ma sens?”, to ten odcinek jest właśnie o tym, że sens przychodzi nie zawsze w huku, ale często w ciszy — i umie podtrzymać człowieka na całe życie.⏰ Kliknij w rozdział, żeby przejść do konkretnego fragmentu kazania.00:00 - Dlaczego Niemcy szukali tego obrazu?02:29 - Doświadczenia Bożego wsparcia03:54 - Dla kogo są znaki od Boga?06:36 - Pociecha w cierpieniu08:38 - A gdyby Jezusa nie było nigdy - Roman Brandstaetter11:05 - Dlaczego Jezus nie przemienił się wobec wszystkich ?
"Pozvani smo da se neprestano preobražavamo, kroz male i jednostavne stvari; praštajući jedni drugima, da jedni druge ne ogovaramo, ne osuđujemo i ne zavidimo si. To je pt koji nas vodi na goru Tabor." Slobodan Lalić
What would happen to your business if you stepped away for a year?In today's wisdom-filled conversation, I'm joined by Fran Tabor, Christian entrepreneur and author who built and sustained a million-dollar family business for nearly five decades—starting with just $2,000. Fran's journey isn't about hustle. It's about learning to steward time, faith, and responsibility as God's business, not her own.We talk about:How to build a business that can function without youWhy urgency and busyness are poor leadership strategiesThe powerful question every business owner should ask: “How is my community better off because my business exists?”When Fran stepped away for an entire year to care for her mother in hospice, her business continued to operate. That season reshaped her understanding of obedience, surrender, and biblical time stewardship. She reminds us to never tell God “never,” to stay in the game, and to train others well enough that the business isn't dependent on our constant presence.This episode challenges Christian women entrepreneurs to stop undervaluing themselves, to see their employees as extensions of their leadership, and to build purpose-driven businesses that both give and receive with gratitude.If you're ready to move from striving to stewarding—and build something that lasts beyond your daily involvement—this conversation will shift your perspective.
I had the absolute joy of talking with my friend, Valerie Tabor Smith — one of the most published children's photographers in the world and a pro at art licensing.Valerie's career is fascinating. She began in wedding photography, discovered her love for babies and children, and eventually built an international licensing business with her images appearing on greeting cards, calendars, and products around the globe. Her work has even been displayed at EPCOT, and she received the prestigious Steuben Trophy from Kodak.But what I love most about this conversation isn't just the accolades — it's Valerie's honesty about reinvention, rejection, persistence, and staying true to your creative heart.We talk about how she moved from black and white hand-tinted portraits into color work, how a calendar company first “discovered” her images, and what photographers today can learn about breaking into commercial and licensing markets.Valerie shared so much, including • How she broke into art licensing (and handled rejection) • The evolving world of greeting cards, calendars, and product design • Why following your passion is still the smartest business strategy We also talk about balancing creativity with family life, how the industry has shifted for women photographers, and the incredible opportunities that still exist in commercial photography for those willing to pursue them.This episode is part inspiration, part history lesson, and part encouragement to trust your artistic voice.And as always, I'm cheering you on as you build a business that is not only profitable… but deeply aligned with who you are.To connect with her valeriesviews1@gmail.comhttps://www.valerietaborsmith.com/Connect with Photography Business Coach Luci Dumas: Website Email: luci@lucidumas.comInstagram FacebookYouTubeNew episodes drop every week — make sure to subscribe so you never miss an inspiring guest or a powerful solo episode designed to help you grow your photography business.
In this verse-by-verse Expository Bible study, Dave Bigler (at his home church of Adirondack Christian Fellowship) explores the powerful narrative of the Transfiguration of Jesus, as recorded in Matthew 16.28–17.13. By comparing the synoptic gospels—including the accounts in Mark 9 and Luke 9— Dave provides a comprehensive look at this pivotal moment on the "sacred mountain," likely Mount Hermon. The teaching examines the symbolic appearance of Moses and Elijah, representing the Law and the Prophets, and the divine declaration from God the Father that solidifies Jesus as the Messiah and the fulfillment of the Old Testament.Beyond historical context, this Bible teaching offers practical spiritual applications for modern believers, focusing on the supremacy of Christ and the necessity of a disciplined prayer life. Dave breaks down the inductive Bible study method—observation, interpretation, and application—to help viewers recognize Jesus' voice in their own lives. Whether you are studying the Gospel of Matthew, interested in the connection between John the Baptist and Elijah, or looking for peace through spiritual retreat, this teaching provides essential insights into the glory of Jesus Christ and His role as our Savior.Adirondack Christian Fellowship:https://acfsaratoga.org/Outline:00:00 - Introduction Welcome and opening remarks.00:26 - Scripture Overview Introducing the primary text: Matthew 16.28 – 17.13.01:07 - Reading of Matthew 16.28 - 17.13.03:47 - The Value of Four Gospels Discussion on why we have different perspectives on the same events.09:39 - Verse Breakdown: The Promise of the Kingdom Analyzing the connection between Jesus' promise and the event of the Transfiguration.11:51 - Verse Breakdown: The High Mountain Exploring the geography of the Transfiguration (Mt.

Send us a text by clicking this link!A bright cloud, a trembling heart, and a voice that still calls us by name: the Second Sunday of Lent leads us up Tabor to glimpse what grace intends to complete. We read the traditional Mass texts and sit with the Transfiguration, then follow the thread back into ordinary life where sanctification looks like chastity, fairness, and fidelity when no one applauds. The light isn't a detour from the cross; it's the courage to carry it.We unpack why Moses and Elijah speak with Jesus about the Passion, and what that means for our own desire to build tents around fleeting consolations. The Father's command—“Listen to him”—reframes our Lenten work: prayer to anchor our identity, fasting to train desire, and almsgiving to heal our neighbor's wounds. We talk about how sin disfigures, how grace refigures, and why God sometimes withdraws felt support so love can grow sturdy. “Jesus alone” becomes a practical rule for dry seasons, disappointments, and the quiet heroism of keeping our promises.If you've wondered how to hold on to hope when comfort lifts, or how to turn daily frustrations into fuel for holiness, this conversation gives you a clear path. Expect real talk on suffering, a sober word about purgatory, and a tender reminder that Tabor's glory is not lost in the valley—it goes hidden within you. Join us, pray with the readings, and step into a Lent that actually changes your heart.

Omelia della II domenica di Quaresima A. La nuova guerra che stanotte è scoppiata, ci chiede di imparare a coniugare realtà e parole di Dio, per evitare di cadere nel tranello che la fede sia altro rispetto alla realtà che viviamo tutti i giorni… Forse questo Vangelo che oggi ci viene donato in questa seconda domenica di Quaresima non capita a caso…
W dzisiejszą drugą niedzielę Wielkiego Postu uczestniczymy razem z najbliższymi uczniami w tajemnicy Przemienienia Pańskiego. To misterium światła i nadziei. Chrystus na Górze Tabor zaprasza nas do wejścia w świetlisty obłok i pozwolenia, aby kontemplacja oblicza Bożego przemieniła nas. Naśladowanie Jezusa w Jego zaparciu się siebie prowadzi nas do Boga. Pełnienie Jego woli przemienia cierpienia w życie. Jak miłość do innych przemieniła twoje poświęcenia w radość? Jak możemy uczyć młodych, że prawdziwa miłość pociąga za sobą umieranie dla siebie?
O tym, że nawet jeśli wygodniej nam na Taborze, to nie możemy uciekać przed Golgotą.
P. Manuel (Perú)Dios nos quiere felices y nosotros deseamos la felicidad. La felicidad para todos los hombres está en el Cielo. Consiste en poner los medios para llegar a la vida eterna. Mientras se está en la tierra se van poniendo los medios humanos y sobrenaturales. Poner los medios no es otra cosa que amar con orden: Dios, loa demás y yo. Amamos con el corazón que hay que limpiarlo constantemente porque se ensucia con el pecado. Dios nos alcanza el sacramento de la confesión para purificar nuestro corazón. El Papa León nos ayuda a vivir la cuaresma pidiéndonos tiempo para escuchar a los demás y abstenernos de palabras hirientes y ofensivas que pudieran maltratar a los demás. En el evangelio de hoy, el Señor se transfigura delante de Pedro, Santiago y Juan. Les hace ver un trocito de Cielo. Ellos se ponen felices y se querían quedar allí. San Josemaria nos decía que para llegar al Tabor hay que pasar por el calvario. Estamos en la tierra para llevar la cruz de Jesús y así tenemos alegría con la esperanza de llegar a la meta de felicidad total que es el Cielo[Ver Meditación Escrita] https://www.hablarconjesus.com/meditaciones-escritas/
La Liturgia de este Segundo Domingos de Cuaresma se centra en el misterio maravilloso de la Transfiguracion de Jesus en el monte Tabor antes sus discípulos. La Transfiguración de Jesús es la transfiguración nuestra. Pensemos en las palabras. " Este es mi Hijo, el Amado, El es mi Elegido, a Él han de escuchar. Era como decir: No se escandalicen de su muerte en cruz, es mi voluntad y el único camino de redención. Este hombre que camina hacia la muerte es mi Hijo, que no solo tiene la naturaleza de Dios, sino que también recibe su poder. Sigan Udes. también el camino que Él va a recorrer. Porque su muerte y la muerte de Udes. con Él, terminará en una glorificación transfigurada. En nuestra vida diaria vivimos entre las lágrimas del Gólgota y las alegrías del Tabor. Esos momentos en que quisiéramos decir como Pedro: Que bueno que estemos aquí y sin ningún esfuerzo construiriamos las tiendas que fueran necesarias con tal de perpetuar esos momentos de dicha que nos hace sentir en el Tabor de nuestros éxitos y que son sorpresas que Dios permite sucedan en nuestra vida. Pero Jesus nos enseña hoy que los momentos lindos de sucesos maravillosos no deben alejarnos de la realidad en que vivimos, porque llega el momento en que Dios mismo como a los discípulos en el Tabor nos invita regresar a lo ordinario de la vida diaria, sin construir tiendas permanentes como quería hacerlo Pedro y Jesus no se lo permitió. Para decirnos que si queremos llegar al verdadero Tabor de la alegría sin fin que nos espera junto al Padre, debemos caminar sin detenernos recordándonos que somos peregrinos que vamos en camino llevando a nuestras espaldas la cosecha de las buenas obras y en el corazón la alegría del deber cumplido y como dice el Divino Impaciente: "La virtud más eminente es hacer sencillamente lo que tenemos que hacer". y Yo digo: "Hacerlo con alegría porque Dios premia al que sirve con alegría" , Feliz Segunda semana de Cuaresma. Hna. Maria Ruth Radio Paulinas Boston

Eli Hemming: From Olympic Triathlon to Trail Ultras, UTMB Goals, and the Joshua Tree TraverseRyan Maguire sits down with Eli Hemming, former elite professional triathlete turned trail runner, for a wide-ranging conversation about reinvention, endurance, and what drives an athlete when the Olympic dream doesn't pan out the way you planned.Eli grew up in triathlon literally from birth. His mom was a triathlete and swim coach, and he was racing by age seven. What started as something social and skill-based eventually evolved into elite draft-legal Olympic-distance racing on the international circuit. He came within reach of the Tokyo Olympics before a broken foot derailed his qualification, and when he looked ahead at another four-year grind toward Paris, with all the travel and time away from family it would require, he decided it wasn't worth it.What came next surprised even him. A race in Buena Vista, Colorado cracked open a new world, and trail running took hold fast. He found a coach in David Roche, started stacking results, and eventually ended up toeing the line against Roche himself at the Broken Arrow Skyrace, a moment that captures just how quickly his trajectory shifted.Ryan and Eli also get into his relationship with his wife Tabor, their shared Adidas sponsorship, and a Joshua Tree traverse FKT attempt the two are chasing together. They dig into what makes Joshua Tree such a singular and strange place to run, and why the project matters to both of them personally.On the racing front, Eli's 2026 calendar includes Black Canyon 100K and a return to Desert Rats 100K, where Ryan first spotted him, to earn his way into UTMB week races. UTMB itself is the long-term goal, even though he's only raced up to 100K so far. His best trail performance to date? OCC during UTMB week in Chamonix, and he lights up talking about the atmosphere there.The conversation also gets honest about the harder parts of moving up in distance, overheating issues, a fried hypothalamus affecting heat regulation, fueling and hydration mistakes, and how his training philosophy is evolving around high volume without necessarily high mileage, muscular endurance work, and staying adaptable.
Moisés y Elías hablan con Jesús, en la cumbre del Tabor, de su próxima Pasión en Jerusalén. El Tabor y el Calvario no son independientes, ni entonces ni ahora. El que huye o rechaza la cruz, decía el santo Cura de Ars, no es cristiano. Hemos de buscar, sin embargo, no la cruz por la cruz, sino la cruz donde el Crucificado manifiesta máximamente su amor.
Love it or hate it, TABOR — the Taxpayer's Bill of Rights — has an ongoing impact on how Colorado handles our taxes. Every few years, an initiative comes along to change this constitutional amendment — like this November, when voters could be deciding whether or not to raise taxes on the rich — but they generally fail. Could this be the one that breaks through? Host Bree Davies sits down with Paul Teske, distinguished professor at Denver's School of Public Affairs, to learn more about TABOR's fate in 2026, plus why Dems think Colorado voters are ready to enter the national redistricting fight, and what the Public Utilities Commission role is in your growing Xcel bills. Coloradans For a Level Playing Field is the organization behind the TABOR income tax reform initiative.

At his Transfiguration, Jesus is fully revealed as God from God, light from light. We read this on the last Sunday before Lent, so that we go into Lent strengthened by this vision. So do not head into Lent without having witnessed the uncreated light of Christ.
Sunday, 15 February 2026 Now after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John his brother, led them up on a high mountain by themselves; Matthew 17:1 “And after six days, Jesus, He takes with – Peter, and James and John his brother, and them, He uphefts into a high mountain off alone” (CG). In the previous verse, Jesus finished up Chapter 16, noting that there were some standing there with Him who would not taste death till they saw the Son of Man coming in His kingdom. Chapter 17 now begins, saying, “And after six days.” Mark says the same. Luke says, “about eight days.” Of this somewhat indeterminate time, “Jesus, He takes with – Peter, and James and John his brother.” These selected men are, at times, referred to as the inner circle. This is because this is not the only time they are selected to come separately with Jesus. Rather, there are several such instances in the gospels. Of this group accompanying Jesus, it next says, “and them, He uphefts into a high mountain off alone.” A new word is seen here, anapheró. It is derived from ana, up, and pheró, to bring, bear, or carry. The ten uses of the word combine to give a sense not found in any single English word. It refers to leading others up a mountain, being carried up into heaven, offering up sacrifices, carrying the sins of others, etc. In each case, there is upward motion and the sense of bearing or leading a mass that has weight. A single word, that now exists as of the typing of this commentary, and which can describe all of these various thoughts understandably, is “upheft.” With a right click of the mouse, the red line under the word has disappeared, and it is now entered into the computer's dictionary. As for the mountain Jesus uphefted the men to, there are various views. A later tradition identifies it as Mount Tabor. However, it is known that a fortress was on top of Tabor at the time. Further, its location is not conducive to the surrounding narrative as well. A good candidate is Mount Hermon. It is the snowcapped mountain bordering Israel, Lebanon, and Syria. In typology, it is used in the Old Testament to symbolize heaven from which the Jordan (the Descender) then flows, picturing Jesus descending from heaven. This seems like the likely mountain to accommodate what will next take place, but because it is not named, this remains speculation. This account, however, is a good contrast to what was said in Matthew 4 – “Again, the traducer, he takes Him to a mountain – exceedingly high – and shows Him all the kingdoms of the world and the glory of them.” Matthew 4:8 “And after six days, Jesus, He takes with – Peter, and James and John his brother, and them – He takes up into a high mountain off alone.” Matthew 17:1 Life application: It was noted above that Matthew and Mark say, “after six days,” while Luke says, “about eight days.” There is no contradiction in that. The word after means “after.” The word about means “about.” Seven is after six, and a general ending of seven is about eight. The indeterminate wording allows people to speak and write in their natural way without there being a contradiction. Depending on the time reference of a person's statement, such things happen all the time. If one reckons the time after the day of an event, the timing would be – Monday – Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday. If one reckons from the day of an event, it would be – Monday/Tuesday/Wednesday/Thursday/Friday/Saturday/Sunday – Monday. Thus, the first is six days after the first day, while the second is about eight days. We do the same type of reckoning all the time. If you arrive in Florida on a plane at 11:30 pm on 11 April, during a later conversation, you might still say you were in Florida on that day. If you left Wednesday morning at 5 am, you might say you were there that day also. Thus, you have been at the location three days, despite your total time there being about thirty-six hours. When you are reading the Bible, be sure to consider such things. Luke uses a different perspective to say exactly the same thing as Matthew and Mark did. This is to be expected from a chronicler who is from outside of Israel as he sits and counts days. The timing provided by those inside Israel would be from their personal experience and how that aligns with culturally accepted norms. When considering these things in their proper light, it is evident that no contradiction exists. Instead, the accounts are reliable and actually support the veracity of what is stated. Lord God Almighty, You have given us a word which is challenging to our minds, and yet understandable when it is properly and carefully evaluated. Thank You that we will get out of Your word just what effort we put into it. Thank You for such a wonderful gift to guide and instruct us. Amen.
The Transfiguration comes at a pivotal point in Matthew's Gospel, and it occurs at a dramatic, shifting moment in the other two Gospels that include it. It is after the Transfiguration that Jesus “sets his face” toward Jerusalem-- a moment of pause and then change of direction. And it's a perfect moment and story to reflect on here at the beginning of Lent. Just before this event, Jesus had revealed some hard things to his disciples, including that they might die. But there was good news for the disciples because they were witnesses to a Transfiguration. They learned that there was a new reality that made everything they were to endure not only bearable but desirable: They learned that Jesus is God incarnate, the king of the universe, the pinnacle of salvation history, ready to inaugurate his kingdom.

HOUR 1 Hour 1 – https://RushToReason.com pulls no punches as John Rush dives headfirst into culture, freedom, and accountability—starting with a Super Bowl weekend that exposed just how divided the country has become. Why did a halftime show spark outrage, canceled orders, and online pile-ons against small businesses? And what does that say about tolerance, choice, and who really believes in freedom? John is joined by Mike Jansen of Plumberoos (https://plumberoos.com/), who breaks from the corporate, commission-driven model to explain what “old-school service” actually looks like in today's world. Is it possible to run a successful business without upselling fear and urgency? What happens when trust—not pressure—is the foundation? The hour then pivots to deeper questions about government control versus personal responsibility, from proposed Colorado legislation impacting digital privacy to the economics of captive pricing at airports and major events. Is regulation protecting people—or punishing common sense? And why are consumers shocked by prices in places where choice is limited? This hour challenges listeners to rethink outrage culture, media narratives, and where freedom quietly slips away when no one's paying attention.

https://rumble.com/embed/v73ch96/?pub=84ufd Today’s Topics: Father Robert Elias joins Terry 1) Gospel – Mark 6:53-56 – After making the crossing to the other side of the sea, Jesus and His disciples came to land at Gennesaret and tied up there. As they were leaving the boat, people immediately recognized Him. They scurried about the surrounding country and began to bring in the sick on mats to wherever they heard he was. Whatever villages or towns or countryside He entered, they laid the sick in the marketplaces and begged Him that they might touch only the tassel on His cloak; and as many as touched it were healed. Bishop Sheen quote of the day 2, 3, 4) Terry and Father Robert discuss the role of Mt. Tabor in Carmelite Spirituality

It's time for ICE to vacate the Blue States who don't want them, TABOR failed to control spending, and what a season for the Broncos!
TABOR FAILED TO STOP THE BLOAT OF GOVERNMENT And I've got Nash Herman, policy analyst for the Independence Institute on at 1 to talk about his new paper Leviathan by Loophole: the Growth of Colorado's State Government After TABOR where he tells us how politicians just did an end around TABOR and grew government anyway.
Mary is the best known, least known woman in history. Billions recognize her name, yet the actual Jewish woman behind the icons has been almost completely erased. In this powerful conversation, Dr. James Tabor, Distinguished Fellow at Hebrew University and two-time New York Times bestselling author, reveals what 20 years of research, archaeology, and critical scholarship have uncovered about the real Mary. What emerges is not the passive, silent figure of tradition, but a revolutionary Jewish matriarch who shaped the teachings of Jesus, ran the headquarters of the early movement from Mount Zion, and whose voice we still hear in the Beatitudes.Dr. Tabor takes us into the violent, politically charged world Mary lived through: mass crucifixions in the Galilee, Herod murdering his own family, and the constant threat facing anyone with Davidic lineage. He reveals the urban setting most people miss (Sepphoris, a major city just four miles from Nazareth), makes the case that Luke's genealogy is actually Mary's lineage showing she was "doubly royal" (descended from both King David and the priestly line of Aaron), and addresses the question most scholars avoid: the mysterious name Pantera that appears in early Jewish sources. This is history that will reshape how you understand Christianity's origins.In this episode you will learn:- Why Mary is the "most erased" woman in history and how it happened deliberately- The shocking urban context of Jesus's upbringing (Sepphoris was a major city of 30,000 people just 4 miles from Nazareth)- How Mary likely witnessed the mass crucifixions and burning of Sepphoris when Jesus was an infant- The case for James (not John) being the "beloved disciple" at the cross- Why the brothers and sisters of Jesus are real biological siblings, not stepchildren or cousins- The evidence that Luke's genealogy is actually Mary's lineage, making her "doubly royal"- What early Jewish sources in Sepphoris actually say about "Yeshua ben Pantera" (and why it's not an insult)- How Mary functioned as the matriarch who shaped Jesus's nonviolent, revolutionary teachings- The connection between Isaiah 11, Mary's vision, and Jesus's Beatitudes- Why three of Mary's sons (Jesus, James, and Simon) were murdered because of their lineageGet Dr. Tabor's new book "The Lost Mary: Rediscovering the Mother of Jesus"More from Dr. James Tabor:Blog: https://jamestabor.comYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@JamesTaborVideosPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/jamesdtaborAlso check out Dr. Tabor's bestsellers:"The Jesus Dynasty""Paul and Jesus: How the Apostle Transformed Christianity"Subscribe to The Dig In Podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thejohnnyovaFollow Johnny Ova:https://linktr.ee/johnnyovaGet Johnny's book- The Revelation Reset
Earlier this week, a Denver City Council committee discussed a potential proposal to ban law enforcement, including ICE agents, from wearing face coverings during arrest or deportation operations. If such legislation did pass, how would it be enforced? Then, hundreds of people showed up to a town hall meeting in December to protest the city's use of Flock cameras — the contract with the tech surveillance company ends in March, so where does Denver stand? Host Bree Davies sits down with council member at-large Sarah Parady to dig into these topics, plus discuss her thoughts on TABOR, childcare funding challenges, jail sentences, and why she voted against using $50 million of Denver's money to buy the land for the future National Women's Soccer League stadium.

THE TALPIOT TOMB AND DNA EVIDENCE Colleague James Tabor. Discussing the Talpiot tomb, Tabor details ossuaries bearing names like "Jesus son of Joseph" and "Mariamne." He argues statistical clusters and potential DNA evidence suggest this is the Jesus family tomb, positing that physical remains support historical existence without necessarily negating the concept of spiritual resurrection. NUMBER 7
SHOW 12-25-25 THE SHOW BEGINS WITH DOUBTS ABOUT THE MODERN STORY OF MARY AND HER FAMILY. 1868 NAZARETH SEPPHORIS AND THE HISTORICAL CONTEXT OF MARY'S LIFE Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies Sepphoris, a Roman capital near Nazareth, as Mary's birthplace. He reimagines Jesus and Joseph as "tektons" (builders) working in this urban center rather than simple carpenters. This proximity meant Mary witnessed Romanbrutality and the city's destruction, influencing her family's spiritual views on the Kingdom of God. NUMBER 1 INVESTIGATING THE NAME PANTERA Colleague James Tabor. Tabor explores the name "Pantera," found in rabbinic texts and on a Roman soldier's tombstone. He suggests this might be a family name rather than a slur, investigating the possibility that Jesus's father was a relative or soldier, which challenges the theological narrative of a virgin birth. NUMBER 2 RECLAIMING THE HISTORICAL JEWISH FAMILY Colleague James Tabor. Highlighting the Protoevangelium of James, Tabor contrasts its depiction of a perpetual virgin Mary with historical evidence of a large Jewish family. He argues Mary had numerous children and that her parents were likely wealthy property owners in Sepphoris, integrating Jesus into a close-knit extended family. NUMBER 3 JAMES THE JUST AS TRUE SUCCESSOR Colleague James Tabor. Tabor asserts James, Jesus's brother, was the movement's true successor, not Peter. Citing Acts and the Gospel of Thomas, he notes James led the Jerusalem council and stood at the cross. Tabor argues the "beloved disciple" entrusted with Mary's care was this blood brother, not Johnthe fisherman. NUMBER 4 THE HEADQUARTERS ON MOUNT ZION Colleague James Tabor. Tabor describes excavations on Mount Zion, identifying a first-century house foundation as the "upper room" and headquarters of the early movement. He visualizes Mary as the matriarch in this courtyard, welcoming pilgrims and apostles like Paul, and establishes James as the leader of this house synagogue. NUMBER 5 THE FLIGHT TO PELLA AND MARY'S DEATH Colleague James Tabor. Tabor discusses the Christian flight to Pella during the Roman revolt. He speculates Mary died before this event, likely around 49–63 CE, and was buried on Mount Zion. Consequently, she disappears from the New Testament record, which shifts focus to Peter and Paul after the Jerusalem church's dispersal. NUMBER 6 THE TALPIOT TOMB AND DNA EVIDENCE Colleague James Tabor. Discussing the Talpiot tomb, Tabor details ossuaries bearing names like "Jesus son of Joseph" and "Mariamne." He argues statistical clusters and potential DNA evidence suggest this is the Jesus family tomb, positing that physical remains support historical existence without necessarily negating the concept of spiritual resurrection. NUMBER 7 THE Q SOURCE AND MARY'S TEACHINGS Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies the "Q" source as a collection of ethical teachings shared by Matthew and Luke. He attributes these core values—such as charity and humility—to a family tradition taught by Mary to Jesus, James, and John the Baptizer, aiming to restore Mary'shistorical influence as a teacher. NUMBER 8 VIRGIL'S RURAL ORIGINS AND AUGUSTAN CONNECTION Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. The guests discuss Virgil's birth in 70 BCE near Mantua and his rural upbringing, which influenced his poetry. They trace his move to Rome during civil war and his eventual connection to Augustus, noting that Virgil promised a grand epic for the emperor in his earlier work, the Georgics. NUMBER 9 TRANSLATING THE SOUND AND METER OF VIRGIL Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. The translators explain choosing iambic pentameter over dactylic hexameter to provide an English cultural equivalent to the original's epic feel. They describe their efforts to replicate Virgil's auditory effects, such as alliteration and assonance, and preserve specific line repetitions that connect characters like Turnus and Camilla. NUMBER 10 THE AENEID'S PLOT AND HOMERIC INFLUENCES Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. McGill and Wright summarize the plot, from Troy's destruction to the war in Italy. They analyze Virgil's dialogue with Homer, noting how the poem's opening words invoke both the Iliad's warfare and the Odyssey's wanderings. They also highlight the terrifying, visual nature of Virgil's depiction of the underworld. NUMBER 11 ROMAN EXCEPTIONALISM VS. HUMAN TRAGEDY Colleagues Scott McGill and Susanna Wright. They discuss whether the Aeneid justifies Roman empire or tells a human story. McGill argues the poem survives because it creates sympathy for antagonists like Dido and Turnus. They explore how Virgil portrays the costs of empire and Aeneas's rage, complicating the narrative of Augustan propaganda. NUMBER 12 CLODIA'S PRIVILEGE AND CICERO'S AMBITION Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin introduces Clodia, a privileged woman from an ancient Roman family on Palatine Hill. He contrasts her aristocratic, independent nature—manifested in her name spelling—with the rise of Cicero, a talented outsider. Boin frames their eventual conflict as a clash between established power and ambitious newcomers. NUMBER 13 THE POLITICS OF TRIBUNES AND REFORM Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin details the divide between the Optimates and Populares. He explains how Clodia and her brother Clodius used the office of Tribune—the "people's protector" with veto power—to enact reforms. This strategy allowed them to challenge the Senate's authority and set the stage for Clodius's political dominance. NUMBER 14 THE TRIAL OF RUFUS AND CICERO'S MISOGYNY Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin describes a trial where Clodia accused her ex-lover Rufus of poisoning. Cicero defended Rufus by launching misogynistic attacks on Clodia, calling her "cow-eyed" and alleging incest. Boin argues this famous speech unfairly solidified Clodia's negative historical reputation while obscuring the political power she wielded. NUMBER 15 THE DEATH OF CLODIUS AND THE REPUBLIC'S END Colleague Douglas Boin. Boin recounts the violent death of Clodius by rival gangs, marking a turning point toward the Republic's collapse. He views Clodia's subsequent disappearance from history as a symbol of the loss of women's influence and civic rights, framing her story as a cautionary tale about political violence. NUMBER 16
JAMES THE JUST AS TRUE SUCCESSOR Colleague James Tabor. Tabor asserts James, Jesus's brother, was the movement's true successor, not Peter. Citing Acts and the Gospel of Thomas, he notes James led the Jerusalem council and stood at the cross. Tabor argues the "beloved disciple" entrusted with Mary's care was this blood brother, not Johnthe fisherman. NUMBER 4
THE HEADQUARTERS ON MOUNT ZION Colleague James Tabor. Tabor describes excavations on Mount Zion, identifying a first-century house foundation as the "upper room" and headquarters of the early movement. He visualizes Mary as the matriarch in this courtyard, welcoming pilgrims and apostles like Paul, and establishes James as the leader of this house synagogue. NUMBER 5
THE FLIGHT TO PELLA AND MARY'S DEATH Colleague James Tabor. Tabor discusses the Christian flight to Pella during the Roman revolt. He speculates Mary died before this event, likely around 49–63 CE, and was buried on Mount Zion. Consequently, she disappears from the New Testament record, which shifts focus to Peter and Paul after the Jerusalem church's dispersal. NUMBER 6
THE Q SOURCE AND MARY'S TEACHINGS Colleague James Tabor. Tabor identifies the "Q" source as a collection of ethical teachings shared by Matthew and Luke. He attributes these core values—such as charity and humility—to a family tradition taught by Mary to Jesus, James, and John the Baptizer, aiming to restore Mary'shistorical influence as a teacher.
