What if getting rich didn't mean cutting out your favorite latte or skipping that summer trip? In this refreshingly honest and helpful episode, we're joined by Vivian Tu—former Wall Street trader, financial educator, NYT bestselling author of Rich AF, and the creator behind Your Rich BFF—to break down the money habits that are secretly keeping you broke, how to actually build wealth (without sacrificing fun), and why it's time to stop feeling ashamed about not having it all figured out. We get into everything from maximizing credit card rewards, high-yield savings accounts, and whether you should rent or buy, to the emotional side of spending, relationship dynamics around money, and how to raise financially savvy kids. Vivian's no-BS, approachable take on money will have you rethinking your entire financial mindset—in the best way.

Send us a textWhat is the good old US of A at its core? Well, we decided to take that magical school bus trip to the center of America and what did we find? Not molten lava, The Statue of Liberty, or even bald eagles like you might suspect. We found hotdogs. And boy, were there many. Today we're resuming our “Am I the A Hole?!” Holiday Series with our 4th of July episode. We've got angry neighbors, firework probs, lake vacations gone awry… but most importantly… food dilemmas. And a surprising amount about hot dogs. Which we think is shockingly appropriate. We tried to tie this in with the book theme… but alas, America's Independence Day AITA probs seem to have few literary tie-ins (we'd be lying if we said we were surprised by this

HERE WE GO!!! Queen of Shadows!!! Book five of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass (TOG) series if you count the prequel. We. Are. In. It. Now. Did chapter one surprise you? Who is right and who is wrong in the break-up? How unstoppable is our hero once she has a plan? Safe if you've read this far in the series. No cross Sarah J. Maas universe spoilers. Send emails and voice memos to sandtfaemail@gmail.com!    Season 1: A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series Season 2: Throne of Glass (TOG) series

Anna and Kim unpack the final arc of A Court of Thorns and Roses, focusing on Feyre's physical and emotional unraveling Under the Mountain. They break down the long-awaited moment between Feyre and Tamlin—one that feels passionate at first glance but ultimately lacks emotional depth or support. In stark contrast, Rhysand's morally gray but consistent actions—his intervention during trials, their first kiss, and quiet moments of care—signal a growing bond and emotional presence that Tamlin never offers. The episode also covers Feyre's final, devastating trial, her death and rebirth as High Fae, and Rhysand's unforgettable goodbye. It's a powerful lead-in to ACOMAF, setting the stage for Feyre's reckoning with trauma, identity, and what it truly means to be seen. We hope you love it, and we'll be back next week with ACOMAF Part 1!! ⚠️ SPOILERS for the entire ACOTAR series!  If you enjoyed this episode, don't forget to ⭐ rate and review the show!

A mind governened by life and peace is part of what He purchased for us through HIs death and resurrection. You can have perfect peace, TODAY!

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!" 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

The sermon explores the profound impact of Adam and Eve's disobedience, emphasizing the curse placed upon humanity and the earth, symbolized by thorns and thistles. Drawing from Genesis and Matthew, the message highlights the enemy's role in sowing discord and the suffering endured by Jesus Christ, who voluntarily bore the curse to redeem humanity. Ultimately, the sermon offers a message of hope, pointing to a future where the curse is lifted, and believers will experience eternal life and fellowship with God in a renewed heaven and earth, free from suffering and separation.

Send us a textToday's episode is officially our second non fiction / memoir that we're reviewing on the podcast and a follow up to our “books that made us” series covering our college years. Ashley and Liz both presented five of the books that helped shape our personalities as early 20-something's in the world, put all the titles into our trusted BATB beanie™, and then chose one to reread. The result: us covering Wild, the super popular story of Cheryl Strayed solo hiking 1200 miles of California's Pacific Crest Trail with no prior backpacking experience as her way of processing her mother's sudden death. This was Ashley's first time on this journey, and Liz's second. Follow along as we rate and review the story, writing quality and style, explore the author's background and purpose in writing a memoir, delve into whether we think their story warranted an entire book dedicated to their journey, if it met our expectations, and if we connected with any of the themes on a personal level. We discuss high and low reviews, its popularity, the audiobook and movie adaptations, and if we think it deserves the hype. And we also make sure to bring a fave and fail outdoor edition, and a smash or pass PCT / Lincoln commercial edition. Watch the Books That Made Us Playlist! | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8t6T0pPbgkc&list=PLHf5v0KOoZMlj_YBqZCxmyIZi8Idv0mkI&pp=gAQBWatch the Farenheit 182 Mark Hoppus of blink 182 Memoir | https://youtu.be/NXoRDLDg_iA?si=nDCV8-Pb9lvEowgX Don't be shy, subscribe!

We're getting all investigative this week as we address songs that cover the "5 W's" - who, why, when, where...and WUT! Yes, that's right, W-U-T. Because our Third Lad this week is the utterly delightful Tracey Vath, bassist from the Vancouver indie pop trio WUT! It is an episode full of joyous laughter, the top 10 Satanic bands, and a brand new O3L game - "Wut 'chu Talkin' About, Brett?!?" Oh, and what happened in Vegas apparently didn't stay in Vegas. Since 2018, Vancouver BC's jangle-pop meets riot-twee trio WUT have been making a local name for themselves with their joyfully heartfelt live performances. In 2020, the trio released ‘NOW', an energetic cassette accompanied by 10 DIY music videos. These earnest and often humorous videos reflect WUT's playful yet sincere songwriting. Recently, WUT recorded ‘Mingling with the Thorns', their sophomore full-length album, out now on HHBTM Records. ‘Mingling with the Thorns' was created during two years of intermittent quarantines which caused guitarist Kaity McWhinney (Knife Pleats / Love Cuts), bassist Tracey Vath (Knife Pleats / Love Cuts), and drummer Lauren Smith (Tough Age / Jock Tears), to write songs independently, and share their ideas through countless emails, dropbox folders, and Google drives. Long periods of isolation were consumed by experimentation with different arrangements, and often an idea would be re-worked over and over (and over) again. This resulted in a collection of carefully crafted pop songs that reflect the bands mutual love for c86 jangle pop and early Flying Nun Records bands, with lyrical content drawing up themes that grapple with patriarchy and late stage capitalism; specifically the struggle to find personal autonomy within these social systems. Also, we are pleased to introduce O3L PodPerks, where you can save just for being a part of the O3L Community!

A.J. Swoboda is a pastor, teacher, theologian, and author of such books as The Gift of Thorns, Subversive Sabbath, Slow Theology, After Doubt … to name a few. He serves on the faculties of George Fox University and Fuller Seminary where he teaches biblical studies, theology, and church history. He pastors Theophilus church in Portland, Oregon and leads a great podcast together with Nijay Gupta called Slow Theology. His most recent book, A Teachable Spirit, caught my attention because of its title. Few of us have that spirit, and more of us need it. Maybe I should speak only for myself. Let's talk about what it means to be spiritually and intellectually flexible enough to learn from peers, children, the culture … even our enemies.
