Thad Tharp, owner of Tharp Auction Service talks with WRAM's Kailey Foster at the WIU Ag Mech Show discussing different auctions he has held and future ones.

The pastors of West Hills church—Brian, Thad, and Will—held a discussion on the concept of "theological triage," a method for categorizing theological doctrines based on their level of importance. They defined a three-tiered system: Tier 1 for issues essential to salvation (gospel issues); Tier 2 for urgent doctrines that are important enough to cause separation into different churches if disagreed upon; and Tier 3 for secondary issues where disagreement is permissible within the same church. The pastors then applied this framework to a series of theological topics, including baptism, same-sex marriage, justification by faith, and speaking in tongues, debating which tier each topic belonged to and discussing the practical implications for church unity, membership, and leadership.

Sunday, Feb. 1, 2026.  Thad's sermon at Wellspring Anglican Church, Englewood, CT as part of their series on Liturgy.

We return to a place we haven't seen since Episode 1, back when I had no idea what I was doing, in order to do Northumberland and Sunbury the right way.  Northumberland and Sunbury are getting the full treatment they deserve, over three years after I first stumbled through them. History, geography, and of course, a look at some of the more interesting and fun spots in both towns, including Pineknotter Brewing, a pinball bar, and the Squeeze-In, a narrow hot dog joint that's been serving up dogs five seats at a time since 1945 [correction to the podcast, BTW: the Squeeze-In is not 12 feet wide, it's only eight feet wide!].  I interviewed Curt and Thad Benner, 4th generation Sunbury natives and brothers, who opened Eclipse Craft Brewing 7 years ago. Curt makes great beer, Thad makes great pizza, and they also have teaberry vodka. Can't beat it!  What I'm Drinking Today is a 16 year old Tomintoul single malt, and it was wonderfully relaxing. The Smack Dab In The Centre segment is a reminder to grab yourself a new Central PA Tasting Trail passport, and start getting your ticket punched for tasty drinks and great discounts.  Your Uncle Lew also has a little 'love connection' advice about Valentine's Day. No, really, I do!  Next episode should be a chat with Elk Creek chef Jon Forshey about making stews, and there's a lot more to it than I realized.   See you in two weeks! Until then?

Welcome to Wellspring Church!In this message, Bishop Thad Barnum invites us to slow down and listen carefully to what God is doing when we gather—especially at the Lord's Table. He reminds us that the gospel always meets us honestly, diagnosing the condition of our souls before offering healing and grace.Drawing on Scripture and the rhythms of confession and communion, Bishop Thad reflects on how repentance isn't meant to crush us, but to restore us. As we come before God with humility—naming our sin, our defiance, and our need—we are met by Jesus, the Lamb of God who bears our sin and reconciles us to the Father.

At first, police in Baraboo, Wisconsin, thought the 9-1-1 call was a prank. 13-year-old Thad Phillips claimed he had been kidnapped, tortured, and left for dead with shattered legs. This is the story of Joseph Clark, the Baraboo, they realized it wasn't a joke at all: It was the most devious crime they had seen in their entire careers. Thad's feet were twisted backwards, his thighs swollen to the size of basketballs, and his body just hours from death. But, in spite of the pain, Thad told them everything: That his attacker was just 17. That he loved the sound of breaking bones. And, most importantly, that he wasn't his attackers' only victim.  He was just the only one who survived.This is the story of Joseph Clark, the Baraboo Bone Breaker. - Sources:https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eTYeCoYyxm58DXXdoFbHQyWHlWbcH9iKGIefFcQToW4/edit?tab=t.y2yayotxnlcb Listen to our new show, "THE CONSPIRACY FILES"!: -Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/5IY9nWD2MYDzlSYP48nRPl -Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/id1752719844 -Amazon/Audible - https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/ab1ade99-740c-46ae-8028-b2cf41eabf58/the-conspiracy-files -Pandora - https://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-conspiracy-files/PC:1001089101 -iHeart - https://iheart.com/podcast/186907423/ -PocketCast - https://pca.st/dpdyrcca -CastBox - https://castbox.fm/channel/id6193084?country=us - Stay Connected: Join the Murder in America fam in our free Facebook Community for a behind-the-scenes look, more insights and current events in the true crime world: https://www.facebook.com/groups/4365229996855701 If you want even more Murder in America bonus content, including ad-free episodes, come join us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/murderinamerica Instagram: http://instagram.com/murderinamerica/ Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/people/Murder-in-America-Podcast/100086268848682/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/MurderInAmerica TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theparanormalfiles and https://www.tiktok.com/@courtneybrowen Feeling spooky?

Send us a textStart with the truth: technology keeps changing the book world, but the love of reading isn't going anywhere. That's our springboard for a rich, candid conversation with publishing analyst and author Thad McIlroy about what AI can actually do for writers, publishers, translators, and readers—and where it crosses lines that matter. We trace his arc from bookstore floors to indie publishing, investigative journalism, and desktop publishing, then into the fast-moving landscape of modern AI.We get practical fast. Want a sharper pitch, a cleaner description, better metadata, and smarter keywords? Use AI as a drafting partner—then apply human voice and judgment. Thinking about acquisitions or submissions? Run a secure, opt-out upload and ask the model who the audience is, what comp titles make sense, and how to position the work. We talk tools—Claude for colloquial nuance, Gemini for reasoning, ChatGPT with training opt-outs—and how to protect manuscripts while you explore.We also tackle the hard edges. Headlines predicting the “death of authors” are noisy, but real concerns remain: training on copyrighted books without compensation, contracts that quietly assign AI rights, and the limits of AI detection tools. Thad breaks down recent rulings vs. piracy, separates legal allowances from ethical responsibilities, and shares what to renegotiate now so creators aren't boxed out later. On translation, we sketch a hybrid workflow—machine draft, human craft—that can open doors for books that would never otherwise travel, while preserving the nuance great translators bring.Through it all, we return to the point of the industry: a reader choosing a book, a poet on a shelf, an indie bookseller who knows your taste. AI can help us market smarter, iterate faster, and reach farther—but it shouldn't replace the human spark that makes literature worth saving. If that balance resonates with you, follow along, share this conversation with a friend, and leave a review to help more book lovers find the show.Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

PASSING A HOME TO THE NEXT GENERATION FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode A Qualified Personal Residence Trust, or QPRT, can be a powerful estate planning tool for transferring a home while managing estate taxes. Learn how it works and when it may be appropriate. Full Description Transferring a home to the next generation can be one of the most complex parts of estate planning. Between emotional attachment, tax considerations, and long-term planning goals, families often struggle to find the right approach. A Qualified Personal Residence Trust, commonly known as a QPRT, is one option that may help address these challenges. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, explains how QPRTs work and why they are sometimes used in estate planning strategies. He outlines how a QPRT allows a homeowner to transfer a residence out of their estate while continuing to live in the property for a specified period of time. If structured properly, this approach can help reduce the taxable value of the estate. The discussion also highlights important considerations and potential risks. QPRTs are not a fit for every family, and they involve long-term commitments that should be carefully evaluated. Factors such as life expectancy, future housing needs, and changes in tax law all play a role in determining whether a QPRT makes sense. Thad emphasizes the importance of coordination between estate planning, tax strategy, and overall financial goals. Decisions involving property transfers should never be made in isolation. Understanding both the benefits and limitations of a QPRT helps families avoid unintended consequences. At BWFA, we work with clients and their estate planning professionals to ensure advanced strategies align with their broader financial picture. This episode provides a practical overview of QPRTs and their role in thoughtful estate planning. To learn more about estate planning strategies, visit BWFA's Financial Planning page.

UNDERSTANDING HOW FINANCIAL AID REALLY WORKS FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode Financial aid is often misunderstood. Learn how the system really works and what families should consider when planning for college costs. Full Description Financial aid plays an important role in college planning, yet many families misunderstand how it works and what it can realistically provide. Assumptions about eligibility, timing, and availability often lead to confusion and missed opportunities. Understanding the basics early can make a meaningful difference in how families prepare for higher education expenses. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, breaks down the realities of financial aid and explains why expectations do not always match outcomes. He discusses how financial aid formulas evaluate income, assets, and household factors, and why aid packages can vary significantly from one school to another. The conversation also addresses common misconceptions, such as the belief that only low-income families qualify for assistance or that financial aid will cover the majority of college costs. Thad explains how financial aid decisions are influenced by multiple variables and why planning ahead is essential for families across income levels. Listeners will gain insight into how financial aid fits into a broader college funding strategy. While aid can help reduce costs, it should not be the sole plan. Thad emphasizes the importance of understanding deadlines, completing required forms accurately, and coordinating financial aid expectations with other savings and planning tools. At BWFA, we help families navigate college planning with a clear, realistic approach. By understanding how financial aid truly works, families can make more informed decisions and avoid surprises along the way.

As we come to the final Sunday of 2025, it's a natural moment to pause and look back. This past year likely holds moments of growth and gratitude, but also regret, failure, and things left undone. For some, looking back may even feel overwhelming, aware of the ways we didn't follow Christ as faithfully as we should have. The question is: what do we do with all of that? In 1 Corinthians 6:9-11, Paul reminds us that our story doesn't end with who we were, but with what Christ has done. “And such were some of you.” Those words invite us to look back honestly, remember the grace of Christ, and step into the new year as people made new. The Christian life is more than resolutions, it is renewal through the gospel.

MAKING THE MOST OF A FINANCIAL WINDFALL FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode Receiving a financial windfall can be exciting and overwhelming. Learn how to approach sudden wealth thoughtfully and avoid common missteps. Full Description A financial windfall can arrive in many forms, including an inheritance, bonus, business sale, or unexpected payout. While the influx of money may feel like an opportunity to act quickly, rushing decisions can often lead to regret. Taking time to plan is one of the most important steps after receiving a windfall. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, discusses how to approach a financial windfall with clarity and intention. He explains why emotional reactions, whether excitement or anxiety, can cloud judgment and lead to decisions that do not align with long-term goals. The conversation emphasizes the value of pausing before making major moves. Creating short-term stability, understanding tax implications, and clarifying personal priorities all play a role in building a thoughtful plan. Rather than viewing a windfall as money that must be spent or invested immediately, Thad encourages listeners to see it as an opportunity to strengthen their overall financial foundation. Listeners will also learn why aligning a windfall with existing goals is essential. Whether the priority is reducing debt, saving for the future, supporting family, or increasing flexibility, a structured approach helps ensure the money is used intentionally. Planning also helps reduce the risk of lifestyle inflation and other common pitfalls that can erode the long-term value of sudden wealth.

MAKING THE MOST OF A FINANCIAL WINDFALL FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode Receiving a financial windfall can be exciting and overwhelming. Learn how to approach sudden wealth thoughtfully and avoid common missteps. Full Description A financial windfall can arrive in many forms, including an inheritance, bonus, business sale, or unexpected payout. While the influx of money may feel like an opportunity to act quickly, rushing decisions can often lead to regret. Taking time to plan is one of the most important steps after receiving a windfall. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, discusses how to approach a financial windfall with clarity and intention. He explains why emotional reactions, whether excitement or anxiety, can cloud judgment and lead to decisions that do not align with long-term goals. The conversation emphasizes the value of pausing before making major moves. Creating short-term stability, understanding tax implications, and clarifying personal priorities all play a role in building a thoughtful plan. Rather than viewing a windfall as money that must be spent or invested immediately, Thad encourages listeners to see it as an opportunity to strengthen their overall financial foundation. Listeners will also learn why aligning a windfall with existing goals is essential. Whether the priority is reducing debt, saving for the future, supporting family, or increasing flexibility, a structured approach helps ensure the money is used intentionally. Planning also helps reduce the risk of lifestyle inflation and other common pitfalls that can erode the long-term value of sudden wealth. At BWFA, we help individuals integrate windfalls into a broader financial plan so short-term decisions support long-term confidence. With the right guidance, a windfall can become a meaningful step forward rather than a missed opportunity.

WHY RAISES CAN STILL LEAVE YOU BEHIND FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode As income increases, spending often follows, sometimes without being noticed. In this episode, Thad Ismart explains how lifestyle creep quietly erodes savings and why even small spending increases can have significant long-term financial repercussions. Full Description Lifestyle creep happens gradually. A raise leads to nicer vacations. A bonus can turn into a bigger home or an upgraded car. Over time, higher spending becomes the norm—even when income fluctuates, or unexpected expenses arise. While these changes may feel manageable in the moment, they can quietly undermine long-term financial goals. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, Senior Financial Planner at Baltimore-Washington Financial Advisors, explores the real impact of lifestyle creep and why it's one of the most common challenges in financial planning. Thad explains how incremental spending increases often go unnoticed until savings stall or financial stress appears. The conversation highlights how lifestyle creep affects more than just monthly budgets. It can delay retirement, reduce flexibility, and limit the ability to respond to life's surprises. Thad also discusses how social comparison and changing expectations play a role, making it easy to spend more simply because it feels “normal.” Listeners will learn practical ways to manage lifestyle creep without sacrificing enjoyment. Thad emphasizes the importance of intentional spending, regular financial check-ins, and aligning lifestyle choices with long-term priorities. By setting clear goals and reviewing them as income changes, individuals can enjoy progress without losing control.

WHAT MOST PEOPLE MISS IN THEIR FINANCIAL PLANNING FROM BALTIMORE WASHINGTON FINANCIAL ADVISORS with Thad Ismart | CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS  Senior Financial Planner About This Episode Even when your finances feel “on track,” hidden blind spots can quietly undermine your progress. In this episode, Thad Ismart explains how overlooked behaviors, assumptions, and habits can create financial risk—and how to identify them early. Full Description Many people assume that once they have a budget, an emergency fund, and a basic investment strategy, their financial life is in good shape. But confidence can sometimes create blind spots—areas that go unexamined simply because they're unfamiliar, uncomfortable, or easy to postpone. In this episode of Healthy, Wealthy & Wise, Thad Ismart, CFP®, ChFEBC, CEPS, Senior Financial Planner at Baltimore-Washington Financial Advisors, explores common financial blind spots and why they matter. He explains how people often focus on the parts of money management they understand while overlooking equally important areas that can impact long-term outcomes. Thad discusses how phrases like “spend money to make money” can be misunderstood and lead to unnecessary risk. He also explains why common financial rules of thumb—such as avoiding tax refunds at all costs—don't always apply to every situation. What works for one person may not work for another, and rigid thinking can prevent better solutions. Another major blind spot is comparison. Social media and lifestyle envy can distort priorities, pushing people to spend, invest, or borrow in ways that don't align with their goals. Thad also highlights how early life experiences shape our beliefs about money, often influencing decisions without us realizing it. Finally, the episode addresses one of the most common blind spots of all: retirement planning procrastination. Many people delay planning because the future feels uncertain or overwhelming. Thad emphasizes that financial planning is an ongoing process—one that evolves as life changes. This episode encourages listeners to step back, reassess assumptions, and address the gaps they may not even know exist. At BWFA, our financial planning process is designed to identify gaps and help clients make informed decisions over time. For more information, visit BWFA's Financial Planning Services.

Great Video Version: https://bit.ly/48WPbYd After a very modest beginning in 1966, the original “Star Trek” TV series was canceled by NBC after only 3 seasons and 79 episodes. But it found new life in syndication and gradually became a cultural phenomenon. It went onto spawn 13 feature length movies between 1979-2016 (new one coming soon). It has also hatched 12 additional TV series (2 still running) that have collectively produced over 900 episodes (and counting). How does a TV show that lasted only half the seasons as one of its 1960's TV contemporaries, “Mister Ed”, (about a talking horse) become a - still growing - $20 billion dollar franchise? Anuradha and Thad are joined by returning guest host and “super fan” Jim Maurer to dive deep into the 60-year legacy of “Star Trek”. How did this nearly forgotten show rise from the ashes and become a surprise sleeper hit? We explore the groundbreaking nature of the show and its enduring influence on modern entertainment. We also give you some delicious scandal extras – like the first interracial kiss ever in primetime television. And the creator/showrunner, Gene Roddenberry, shagging 2 of his series' actresses simultaneously, WHILE going through a divorce. Holiday fun for all!

We live in a world where stress is constant, pressure is unrelenting, and noise fills nearly every corner of our lives. For many, worry has become a daily companion, something we carry into our relationships, our work, our homes, and even our sleep. It's no surprise that anxiety has become one of the most universal human experiences of our time. Long before modern culture named anxiety, Scripture spoke directly to the restless heart. God does not minimize our fears, ignore our burdens, or shame our struggles. Instead, He invites us to bring our worries to Him and promises a peace that does not depend on circumstances. In Philippians 4:6-7, Paul offers a path that is both honest and hopeful: we bring everything to God in prayer, and God responds by guarding our hearts with a peace only He can give.

Most parents only see the rankings, the showcase stats, and the hype — but this episode of The Most Valuable Agent with Matt Hannaford pulls you inside the real world of MLB draft strategy, where decisions are made long before a player ever hears their name called. Former Minnesota Twins GM Thad Levine reveals what truly drives baseball scouting insights today, from how MLB teams evaluate players beyond raw tools to why character, adaptability, and leadership quietly determine careers. You'll hear how clubs weigh high school vs. college talent, why certain pitchers carry heavy risk profiles, and how "force multipliers" — not just stars — shape long-term success. Thad breaks down how front offices think, how organizations develop prospects, and what separates players who survive the grind from those who stall out. If you've ever wondered how the baseball development pathway really works behind closed doors, this conversation exposes the hidden criteria that actually move players up draft boards.

Imagine being told you have a terminal illness. Would it change the way you approach each day? Two years ago, Thad Reichley went to the doctor because he had the flu. When initial attempts to address his symptoms were unsuccessful, additional procedures revealed the presence of three dozen tumors in the lining around his lungs. He was diagnosed with stage 4 metastatic melanoma. There is no known cure for the disease. A father, husband, educator, and pro-level endurance athlete, Thad's “job” over the past 24 months has been to fight cancer and stay alive. In addition to his treatments' side effects (fever, vomiting, inflammation of the eyes, and savage bouts of colitis), Thad has learned to navigate the negative “you are not enough" voices in his head. He's also come to change his expectations about what makes a good day. “Sometimes” he says, that while trying to carpe every diem, “just walking the dog has to be enough.” Thad and I know each other through his wife, Leigh, who was my colleague on the sales team at Facebook in LA. She's a very funny, very committed person who, as you will hear, is no stranger to cancer. I am grateful to Thad for sharing his story and hope it inspires YOU to go to the doctor if you haven't been in a while. As importantly, I hope that it reminds you to cherish and protect your health and loved ones for as long as you have them. Here's how Thad sums it all up: 1. Go to the doctor 2. Listen to your wife 3. Hug your kids, and 4. Tell the people in your life you love them. Prior to his diagnosis, Thad spent two decades as an educator, both as a teacher and an administrator at well-known schools like Crossroads in Santa Monica and Mark Day School in Marin County. He earned his BA at the University of Washington, Master's degrees from both UCLA and Brown University, and his doctorate from the University of Southern California. ✍️Please rate and review Reasonably Happy (https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod) ✍️

Christine (47) and Thad (57) have been together for more than six years, but instead of building wealth, they're buried under nearly $340,000 of debt. Christine, the self-appointed “CFO,” is exhausted from tracking every bill, while Thad avoids the details and spends freely. Their conflicting money mindsets (Christine craving stability, Thad living for the moment) have stalled their big dreams like buying a home or taking Rich Life vacations that Christine longs for. With almost no savings and retirement looming, Christine fears she's approaching 50 with nothing to show for her hard work, while Thad insists a single plan will solve everything. Can Ramit help them break the cycle of avoidance and control, align their priorities, and finally start acting like teammates? In this episode we uncover: • Why Christine feels she's approaching 50 with “nothing to show” for her life • Thad's $17,000 student loan that ballooned up to $125,000 • How Christine became the household “CFO” while Thad continues to avoid responsibility • Their real numbers—and why Christine feels so stressed • Christine's frustration over micromanaging bills • Thad's upbringing in poverty • The invisible power of shame and fear, and why they can't see what's right in front of them financially • Christine's childhood lessons from parents who bought an unaffordable home • Thad's stark admission: if nothing changes, he'll be homeless Chapters: (00:00:00) When a worrier and an avoider meet… (00:02:59) “We have a plan… don't we?” (00:15:52) “Where is all the money going?” (00:19:54) Ramit breaks down their numbers (00:33:46) “I never expected to live past 30” (00:48:30) “I wish my dad was able to say no” (00:56:33) “I don't believe he'll follow through” (01:05:11) “We need to be playing way bigger” (01:22:38) “I don't feel like I have the power” (01:36:54) Where are they now?
