Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell answer listener questions about Georgia's crowded governor's race, including why Secretary of State Brad Raffensperger was still able to qualify despite a GOP resolution aimed at blocking him. They also explain how the growing number of Atlanta‑based candidates could shape the race and break down the differences between full Medicaid expansion and Georgia's Pathways program. The conversation also touches on the timing of Georgia Supreme Court elections, Atlanta's chances of landing a future Democratic National Convention and the emerging race for the open seat next to Marjorie Taylor Greene's district.

CNN is re-airing their special on the rise of Christian nationalism — and I'm re-releasing this conversation with Tia Levings because it is more relevant now than when it first aired.

In part two of the series, Dr. Andy Southerland and Dr. Seemant Chaturvedi break down key takeaways from the OCEANIC‑STROKE trial.  Show citation:  Read more about the OCEANIC-STROKE trial.  Show transcript:  Dr. Andy Southerland:  Hello everyone. This is Andy Southerland from the University of Virginia. For today's Neurology Minute, I've just been speaking with my colleague, Seemant Chaturvedi from the University of Maryland, about exciting trials presented at this year's 2026 International Stroke Conference from the American Heart Association, American Stroke Association. And the one we want to discuss for today's Neurology Minute in brief was the OCEANIC-STROKE trial. This was a very large international trial looking at the use of a novel antithrombotic agent, a Factor XI inhibitor, compared to placebo as an adjunct to our traditional antiplatelet therapies for secondary stroke prevention. And it was received with quite a bit of excitement. So Seemant, tell us in brief, what did we learn from OCEANIC-STROKE? Dr. Seemant Chaturvedi:  One new class of agents, which is being tested are the Factor XIa inhibitors. And this has a unique mechanism of action, and it's believed that it can reduce thrombotic events without causing an increase in bleeding, which would be truly a major breakthrough. And so in OCEANIC-STROKE, over 12,000 patients were enrolled with either stroke or high-risk TIA within 72 hours of the last event. And the trial found that patients who had fairly mild strokes with a median NIH score of two, that when you add the asundexian 50 milligrams per day on top of either dual antiplatelet or single antiplatelet therapy, that there was an improved outcome and reduction in stroke with asundexian. There was a 2.2% absolute reduction in ischemic stroke, 26% in relative terms. Stroke, MI, and vascular death was also reduced with asundexian, as was disabling stroke. An exciting finding was that major bleeding was not increased with asundexian. And so this confirmed the preclinical hypothesis. And so I think this was a significant result in terms of reducing recurrent ischemic stroke without increasing bleeding. And so I think we eagerly await the full publication, and I think it could be applicable to many of the patients that we see in our clinical practice. Dr. Andy Southerland:  So asundexian, folks, you'll hear more about this as the drug hopefully comes on the market and we see the full primary publication of this OCEANIC-STROKE trial, but exciting nonetheless to have a possible new treatment to help us reduce the risk of recurrent stroke for our patients. So Seemant, thanks so much again for joining us for today's Neurology Minute. And I encourage all of our listeners, as always, to listen to the full podcast interview ain The Neurology Podcast. Seemant, thanks for joining us. Dr. Seemant Chaturvedi:  My pleasure.  

Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell break down how U.S. and Israeli strikes on Iran are suddenly shaping Georgia's biggest political contests. They examine how top Republicans are lining up behind President Donald Trump while Democrats like Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock push back and call for Congress to assert its authority over war powers. Greg and Tia also explain how the foreign policy fight is colliding with a partial government shutdown centered on funding the Department of Homeland Security. Then they turn to qualifying week at the Georgia Capitol and the early signals emerging in several key races across the state. Have a question or comment for the show?

Additional imaging/testing can change the diagnosis.A uterine septum can be underdiagnosed on standard ultrasound, and may meaningfully affect pregnancy risk.Postpartum hemorrhage can escalate fast. Quick intervention matters.Postpartum care is more than “bouncing back.” Mental health (like PMDD) and physical rehab deserve real attention.Guest Bio:Hailey Bieber is a mom and founder who shares her experience navigating a TIA, pregnancy, birth, and postpartum recovery with Dr. Aliabadi. She says she first started seeing Dr. Aliabadi at 19, developed her company idea in 2020, and launched it in 2022. She later worked through her pregnancy in 2024 and returned when she felt ready.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Greetings in love, light, and wisdom as one.  The latest entry into the Ashtar Command archives for March has a bit of a back story. I had been trying a new type of astral projection of partially waking up but staying asleep enough to get out of my body. That morning had been the first successful attempt so I headed to the base feeling fairly solid. It was at that point I went to my other bond mate Alana where we conceived our first child. It would turn out that child would be named Miranda after the reincarnation of Kiri and Karra's mother who the child would happened to be. So it was a very important day and sets the tone for the conversations that would take place with most of the speakers. The first would be with our ring mistress Tia who was helping me with a drawing of her in her hunting colors. It was something almost religious from her home planet she still did to keep up her skills and honor her upbringing. We use much of the remaining time to discuss that trip up to the base and how to improve on future trips. Karra is the next speaker and she uses the rest of the tape to go over a healing on Carrie coming soon where I would be doing a lot of the work. Karra had already gone through previously to do an energy transfusion on her to flush out any bad energy and now it was time to work on her shoulders. Those who have heard our previous healing sessions with Carrie may remember that we have a crystal scalpel for tricky jobs and healing crystals to channel energy. This was another of those types of sessions and now I was getting an education on how to do what Karra did when healing Carrie. What I learn is how to focus the various beams of energy like the Death Star into a single beam through the scalpel that would heal instead of harm. This was still when her melanoma was being treated by doctors who would later be shocked when her cancer was healed after we had a major healing on her that involved over a hundred people from the base channeling their energy down here. That wouldn't be for another year and everything we were doing now was in preparation for that. We end things with Karra agreeing to help with an article in our next newsletter. Then we're onto side two.   For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 12/04/93. Side one includes:   1.)(0:00)- Tia and I discuss an astral travel trip of mine that morning where I had been more solid than usual. The hunts she does as a member of a race of beings with a feline genetic base is another topic.   2.)(10:28)- A pregnant Karra explains the draining of chakras before giving a lesson on using them in a healing of a friend of ours named Carrie. She also agrees to help with the next newsletter to be created.

Greetings once more in love, light, and wisdom as one.    Kiri starts off the rest of this shortened session with a critique of my latest skiing up on the mountain they have where I found their ski equipment is a bit more advanced than what I was used to. Luckily, Kiri offers to add in a slave unit so that my skis would turn when hers did. It would come in handy until I got better. One feature of their ski area was an almost vertical area of snow I had been calling the wall and it had been a challenge to get a couple runs in earlier. That brings up the mention of a friend of mine though who was a Wookie I had made acquaintances with recently where he had invited me to visit where he lived on the base in their compound. Kiri he was very impressed with the fact as it was a rare invitation not given to many. She warned me of the scale of things I would be surrounded by once I arrived. That's all we have time for and so Omal is the speaker after her. What we discuss is a class I had arranged where I would  teach some local college students New Age topics. I get to bounce some ideas off of him on how to prepare for the class and topics I hadn't of thought of yet. The first section was to be on past life regressions and one of the past lives we use as an example is General Patton. A side note to this conversation was that we met the reincarnation of General Patton in the form of a later speaker Lyka who was in the Sirian Defense Force. This was 1993 and no one had heard of Lyka at this point as she was still in school and wouldn't channel to our group until a couple years later. An interesting coincidence. We also discuss the benevolent dictators throughout history because of a role in politics Omal hints may be in the future for someone like Patton. Little did we know he would be a she and she would rise in the ranks quickly. The last person of the night to speak was Alana where we compare notes on the morning's events. One benefit to being more solid that morning was that I got to see details of Dolphin Lake including the area that held some smaller dolphins compared to others that were kept separate from their smaller cousins. We end things with a review of what happened that morning before Tia comes back to wrap things up for the last couple minutes. This is a great addition to the Ashtar Command archives that we would have to say is a lot of fun. It gets a little racy but also very informative. For full transcripts of this session and more information about Hades Base and the 6th dimension, please visit our website:  http://hadesbasenews.com  The sessions lasted from 1992 to 2001 with this one being taped on 12/04/93. Side two includes:    1.)(0:00)- Kiri works with me on some skiing tips for the advanced type of skis they use there on a recent trip to the slopes on the base. She is impressed I got an invite to visit a Wookie friend of mine nearby. 2.)(10:21)- Omal offers some advice about a class I was forming to study the New Age. That brings up past life regressions and examples in the past. A memory we think of is General Patton in the movie.   3.)(21:27)- Alana and I compare notes about the astral travel trip I made to her on the base that morning and about the dolphins on the base. An extra surprise we get is Alana speaking in dolphin at the end.

Can't believe we are saying this but How Cum is now-- How Came, and How Went! In other words, after 6 seasons and countless guests and a million different topics we are finished. Today's episode is all about what got this whole thing started-- female healthcare (or the lack thereof) and we are discussing it with Tia's Dr. Shreya Reddy and comedian Lauren Hope Krass. We are talking why Dr. Reddy entered this field, Tia (a clinic specifically for female healthcare), and how Lauren's life has been changed by Tia. My life was changed IMMENSELY by this podcast and I am so so grateful to everyone who supported this journey and who came along for the ride. We may still record some new episodes -- and if we do, they will ONLY be posted on Patreon, and maybe someday it will even C*M BACK in a big way.

P2Y12 inhibitors are a cornerstone of antiplatelet therapy in cardiovascular disease. These agents block the P2Y12 receptor on platelets, preventing ADP-mediated activation and reducing platelet aggregation. By inhibiting this amplification pathway, they help prevent arterial thrombosis in conditions such as acute coronary syndrome, percutaneous coronary intervention, stroke, and peripheral artery disease. The most commonly used oral agents include clopidogrel, prasugrel, and ticagrelor, each with important pharmacokinetic and clinical differences that influence agent selection. From a pharmacist's perspective, choosing the right P2Y12 inhibitor requires balancing ischemic benefit with bleeding risk. Clopidogrel requires CYP2C19 activation and is subject to drug interactions and genetic variability. Prasugrel provides more potent inhibition but carries a higher bleeding risk and is contraindicated in patients with prior stroke or TIA. Ticagrelor offers reversible inhibition but comes with unique considerations such as dyspnea and drug interactions via CYP3A4. Understanding these nuances allows pharmacists to optimize dual antiplatelet therapy and improve patient outcomes.

What's up Bros? The main question we have after this episode is... does this show need Ashley Darby? As she recaps her "storylines" from this season, it all seems to have fallen flat. The newbies have an interesting time. Tia holds her own and has quickly become a favorite. Jassi and Kierna however... their future is questionable on this show. All in all not a bad episode, just an interesting set up with the cast currently. What will next season look like with Karen making her return? Learn more about your ad choices.

Deep in the Yorkshire woods, multi-disciplinary artist and producer Jamie House – aka Hamie Jouse – has been quietly splitting light into a thousand tiny rainbows. Best known for his hypnotic visual installations and art direction across DIY music spaces from Old Red Bus Station to Resonance, House found himself at last year's Watching Trees festival doing something beautifully meta: filming daytime trees to project back onto their evening counterparts through a cascade of prisms. The “arty bullshit” behind it, as he puts it, was about bridging gaps of time and space and memory – creating past tense ghosts of daylight. But really, “it just looked pretty, and the trees and sun had it all covered.” Whilst setting up his spectral light show on the Bush of Ghosts stage, Tia and Wil (that's us) caught wind of the music he was playing. What unfolded in those early morning hours was something special – patient, ambient-soundscapes with a deep understanding of the fractal nature of the forest, where every process is made up of countless sub-processes doing their best impression of one solid bit. This mix captures that philosophy; energised yet gently held, pulsing yet ambient. Mirroring both the slow, steady rhythm of plant growth and the constant, quick reactions within the cells. There are rarely right angles in the forest, just lots of individual leaves doing their thing- a benevolent collusion with the kodama, those forest sprites that House channelled through his psychogeographic, hauntological light work. From the Rhubarb Triangle of West Yorkshire, where he dabbles in ambient matters with his long time friend Aaron during hazy Sunday afternoon straggler zones, overlooking different vistas, House has created something that feels like plugging into the mainframe with beings deep in the woods, under a very full moon. Always bring a memory stick, indeed.

Audio Transcript All right, well, beautiful singing. So I’ve not met you. My name is Aaron and I’m the preaching pastor here. And we’re glad you’re with us. I know sickness is kind of spreading around right now, and so I’m glad that you’re well enough to be with us this morning. So if you have a Bible with you, could open up to the Gospel of Luke. Our texture study today is going to be Luke 6, 2020. If you don’t have a Bible with you, there are pew Bibles kind of scattered throughout if you want to find your way there to Luke 6. Also, the word should be on the screen on either end of the stage if you want to follow along there. And if you’re visiting, if you open up your Bible, please do keep them open. So we do a style of preaching here. Actually, we talk about this in a sermon called Expository Preaching. So I’m going to read the passage, we’re going to pray, and then I’m going to walk us right back through the text. And so please do keep your Bibles open in this time. So Luke 6 starting verse 20. So please hear the words of our God. So Luke wrote, and he lifted up his eyes on disciples and said, blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now for you shall laugh. Blessed are you when people hate you and they exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil on account of the Son of man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy. For behold, your reward is great in heaven. For so their fathers did to the prophets. But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did to the false prophets. So that’s God’s word for us this morning. Would you please pray with me? Lord, thank you for your word. And Lord, please help me to be a good communicator of your word today. Please give the congregation ears to hear what the Spirit is saying. I pray this all in Jesus name. Amen. Okay, so if you’ve been around here, you know every story starts out, at least for mine. So there we were. So there you were, myself and a man from our home church in Greenway, Wisconsin, and we’re getting together for breakfast. And this is Shortly before my wife, Tia and I were about to move to Louisville, Kentucky for seminary. Now, the man I got breakfast with that morning from our home church is actually a very influential, strong leader in his field. Before he retired, actually, he was the CEO of one of the largest and most profitable companies in the state. Over 7 billion in annual sales. And we got together that morning for breakfast. My friend had a bit of a surprise for me that was very much tied to sobering encouragement that he wanted me to have. Surprise he had for me was an autographed baseball. A baseball that I actually received through some personal connections to a legendary player who signed it for me, a former player, an all time great player named Hank Aaron, who played a good portion of his career for the Milwaukee Braves before that team relocated to Atlanta and then finished up his career for my beloved Milwaukee Brewers. And Hank Aaron not only is one of the greatest players of all time, but he also was my dad’s favorite player when he was growing up. A player that he just adored when Aaron played for both the Braves and the Brewers. In fact, my dad loved Hank Aaron so much that I was born. He named me Aaron after him. And this is something actually my friend knew, and this is one of the reasons why he got this autographed baseball for me, because he knew that it meant a lot to me to have that ball. It’s a pretty sweet gift, pretty thoughtful. But what made that ball even more sweet, even more thoughtful was the sobering encouragement tied to the ball that my friend also wanted to pass on to me. And that sobering encouragement from my friend was reminded me of a different man named Aaron. Not his last name, but his first name, Aaron. Aaron from the Old Testament, who was the brother of Moses. You may remember that now if you remember Moses. So he’s a great leader and prophet, but he also had a stuttering problem. So much so that Moses actually pleaded with the Lord to provide someone who could speak on his behalf, which ended up being his brother Aaron. As Moses spoke on behalf of, or as Aaron spoke on behalf of Moses the prophet who was speaking on behalf of God himself. And for my friend, his sobering encouragement to me through this ball, as I was about to head off to seminary to hopefully get trained to be a preacher, was that every time I look at this baseball, which is currently sitting amidst all my sports treasures in my basement ball, that I see often, by the way, college students, if you’re planning to come to my house next week for pass the pass pastor’s house, I’ll show it to You. But as I look at this baseball with the name Aaron on it, my friend hoped I had the sober encouragement that as I preach like Aaron for Moses, as I preach, I’m speaking on behalf of God from His perfect holy word. Now, obviously, I’m not a prophet like Aaron was as a preacher, but preaching still is speaking God’s word to his people, which, my friend, he wanted this to be a sobering truth for me, sobering as I went to seminary to study there, to study hard, to put forth my best effort in that seminary experience. You also want to be sobering for me one day as I write sermons, as I prep for sermons the way I should, to never cut corners, to give my best effort each sermon I write. You want to be sobering for me as I deliver sermons every time I stand behind the pulpit, that there should be a real, sober sense of what I’m doing, because the weighty responsibility and privilege it is to communicate God’s word. Now, I tell you all this this morning, so sobering this should be for me every time I do this, but maybe even more sobering for me this week, because this week and actually the next couple weeks, my assignment is to preach you from God’s perfect holy word on a passage that is often viewed as the greatest sermon of all time. Meaning my attempt is to give you a sermon from the greatest of all sermons, a sermon that was given by the Lord Jesus Christ, one that he actually gave on more than one occasion. If you’re with us, last week Wes actually mentioned this. I’m going to mention it again today. The sermon we’re about to go through is often referred to as a sermon on the plain, as we learned in our text last week. Verse 17. If you want to take your eyes there, that Jesus gave this sermon, he was standing on a level place. And this sermon on the plain that Luke records is very similar in content to perhaps the most famous of all sermons, that Jesus gave, the Sermon on the Mount, which is recorded in Matthew 5, where Jesus gave that the side of a mountain. Now, I will mention that for some, the Sermon on the Plain here in Luke 6, as well as the Sermon on the mount in Matthew 5. Some believe this actually is like the same event of the exact same sermon. So perhaps there was maybe like a little bit of a plateau on the mountain that gave a level ground for Jesus to preach. And while it is possible that Matthew 5 and Luke 6 record the same event, the exact same sermon, there’s enough little details between the Sermon on the Mount and the sermon on the plain that led many, myself included, to believe these are actually two different events where Jesus preached to two different people, but basically gave the same sermon two different times. You know, as mentioned, to two different people groups, which, by the way, this is actually not a problem. Jesus gave the same sermon at least two times, so. So in this time frame, rabbis are annoying, giving like the same teachings on multiple occasions throughout history, church history, many pastors, myself included, have preached the same passage more than once, where the sermons are very similar. In fact, maybe the most famous sermon, at least in our culture here, that God used to help ignite the Great Awakening first Great Awakening, the sermon titled Sinners in the Hands of Angry God. Maybe you heard that one by Jonathan Edwards. He actually preached that on multiple occasions. So it’s not an issue that Jesus preached the same basic sermon more than once. In fact, knowing that Jesus preached this same basic sermon more than once probably just highlights how important of a message this was from our Lord, which for me further underscores why this is often viewed as the greatest sermon of all time. Okay, now before we get to the text, the sermon that Luke records, just a few things, just a reminder where we’ve been the last few weeks. So. So the ministry of Jesus is now very much in public view. He’s become like the trending topic all over the region, leading more and more to come to him as great crowds were forming around our Lord. And from these crowds included some who Jesus uniquely called to himself to be his disciples, which included some fishermen who we met in chapter five, a despised tax collector who we met in the beginning of chapter six, as well as those listed in our text. Last week, in the middle of chapter six, where none of the disciples seem to be like popular people or influential people, rather they just seem to be like normal, everyday common people like you and me. Yet in his grace, in his wisdom, that is who the Lord Jesus called uniquely to himself, where he’d use these men to become his apostles that in time would like, he would use to completely set the world on his head. Furthermore, as mentioned in previous sermons, but I wanted to mention this again here, as the public ministry of Jesus is in full swing, as the crowds of people are coming to Him. No doubt a large part were coming because of the signs and wonders that Jesus was performing through various healings as well as like exorcism of demons. But the primary reason why the crowds were forming around Jesus because of the primary ministry he had, was actually preaching and teaching, which by the way, would also be the primary ministry that his disciples would have as disciples would be used by God, as mentioned, to turn the world on his head through preaching. So all the different things happening around Jesus, all the things signs he was performing, yet preaching, teaching, giving sermons like the one that we’re about to look at in the text, this is at the center, this is at the focal point of Jesus’s ministry. Which actually leads to the second thing I want to mention here this morning as it relates to sermons and the sermon on the greatest of all sermons of Jesus. The main focus I have to you this morning is to communicate to you from the text, what does the text say? However, as we work through this sermon, the sermon on the plane, I also want to just give you something that I did for myself personally this week was to try to pull insights from the sermon when it comes to preaching. So this is actually a good exercise for me this week as one who preaches often and I thought it would be a good exercise for us as a church as a whole today just to kind of help us think about preaching. What does it look like? What does that mean? Why is it so important mentioned? This is at the heart of the ministry of Jesus and hopefully it means it’s at the heart of our ministry here at Red Village Church as well. We desire preaching and teaching to be the focal point of our church. Not that other things in church life are important, but the pulpit is to me remains central. Many others throughout church history have said as the pulpit goes, so does the rest of the church. So as members, yes, pray for sermons, keep the pulpit accountable. And for some, you at some point you maybe are moving out of Madison. You have to look for another church. Unite to. There are many factors for you to consider discern as you’re trying to find a church. But the pulpit, the sermons really ought to be at the top of your priority list where there’s a steady diet of expositional Christ centered preaching. I hope I do feel for us in this time. So if that is a little bit longer intro, look back with me in the text on the sermon on the plain, they would be looking at just the start of the sermon, verses 20 through 26. So verse 20 we see in the passage that as Jesus stood on the level place, the plain, we see in the text that he began the sermon by lifting up his eyes on his disciples. Okay, not ready. Just a couple things. So first the lifting up of eyes. So commentary is read this week signified from Jesus that there’s like resolve in him, like he has resolve as he’s about to speak mean this is going to be some type of like casual conversation from his pulpit on the plane. Rather, Jesus is about to speak in ways that carried weight significance. Let’s go back to the story I began the sermon with. That’s what my friend was trying to impress upon me. When it comes to preaching, there ought to be a real weight significance that preachers are to understand as they communicate God’s word. By the way, as a church, this is why we pray for those who fill the pulpit, myself included, the preachers will preach with like resolve, resolve to you, the congregation that you have resolve. Actually you take in sermons, right? This should not be something that’s like casual lackadaisical for any of us. A lot of different points. The sermons can have some light hearted elements tied to them, but overall the tone, the tenor should have like sober minded resolve. That’s what Jesus has as he looks up as the disciples. Second, the sermon that Jesus was about to give was primarily meant for his disciples, those he named, verses 14 through 16 that Wes gave us last week. Now I assume other people are there who are listening in. In fact we get the sense when we get to verse 24 does seem like Jesus changes the primary audience that he’s talking to for just a bit there. But the first primary audience of this sermon was to disciples, those who were followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. At the risk of trying to push this too far, but unless the sermon is clearly intended for those who are not Christian, with some type of evangelistic thrust to it, which Scripture tells us is a thing, sermons, particularly in church life, the primary audience is meant for disciples to teach disciples of Jesus, those who are trusting in him, what it looks like to joyfully follow and obey him, which is certainly the case in this sermon that Jesus gave on the plane, right? This is not a sermon on how one becomes a follower of Jesus, which comes through repentance and faith. Rather, this is a sermon for those who are disciples, those who have repented, who have trusted in Jesus, as Jesus is going to help them to know how to live out their faith in ways that honor him. As Jesus looks at his disciples, we see him begin the sermon, which in our time today this will be in two parts. So the first part will revolve around the blessings that comes by faithfully following after him. Which by the way, this is why this sermon started. It as well as the Sermon on the Mount is often referred to as like the Beatitudes of Jesus with the beatitude word for like blessing. So the first part of the sermon are blessings from Christ. But then the second part, this is a series of woes, strong rebukes for actually not following after him. And we get to the woes. This is the section where I think there’s a little bit of a change in who Jesus is communicating to, as the woes have actually a bit of evangelistic thrust to them, to those who are on the plane who are not yet disciples of Christ, as Jesus is warning them that if they do not repent and believe in him, what would happen? Let’s go back to the blessings, and I want to say I’m going to read them as a whole again with the hopes of like kind of rereading these as a whole. Just capture some of the weight, momentum that I think is there in the sermon of Jesus. And after rereading it again, let me just point out a few things. So look back with me again. John, verse 20. He, Jesus told them, blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. Blessed are you who are hungry, for you should be satisfied. Blessed are you who weep now, for you should be satisfied. Blessed are you when people hate you and when they exclude you, and when they revile you and spur your name as evil on account of the Son of man. Verse 23 Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for your reward is great in heaven. For so their fathers did so, for the fathers did so to the prophets. Okay, now just to break this up, a few things I want to point out. So first, just this term, blessing or blessed. So this is a term or phrase that’s actually scattered throughout Scripture, particularly in the Old Testament, where the word blessing is often correlated with wisdom, particularly wisdom in this life. Now, this week I thought about Psalm 1, and I did kind of wonder if Jesus maybe had this passage in mind as he gave this sermon. So in Psalm 1, so blessed or happy is the man who walks in this life in the wisdom of God, where this blessed happy one in this life does not associate with evil. Rather, the blessed happy man is the one who delights in God’s word and obeying God’s word, what plants him like a tree by streams of water. And while the sermon on the plain, this teaching of Jesus on wisdom certainly is tying to some stuff in this life. But it’s a little different in that Jesus connects the ultimate blessing, the ultimate happiness, not in this life, which so much of the Old Testament is, but rather in the life that is to come, the eternal life that Jesus would usher in. So look back with Me again just to see the forward pointing blessedness that Jesus preached on that was to come for his people. So verse 20. Yes, you’re poor now, but for yours is the kingdom of God, which is the kingdom of God that is, yes, here, now. But a kingdom, the fullness of, of it is still yet to come. And when the fullness of kingdom comes, that’s where the fullness of blessedness, happiness will be found, in the life that is to come. Verse 21. Sure, you are hungry in the here and now, but look ahead, you will be satisfied. The future will come and you will be satisfied. Yes, in the here and now, in this life you weep, but in the future, there is a time that is going to come that you will laugh. Yes, in the here and now, in this life there might be people who hate you and exclude you and revile you and spurn your name as evil because of your faith in Christ. But look ahead to the future, you will rejoice, you will leap for joy, because in heaven there awaits a reward for you. And for us, this is actually really important for us as we think about being disciples of the Lord Jesus Christ. Yes, in this life we live with wisdom, but we do so even more with our eyes towards that which is to come. That is where wisdom is set to faithfully live out this life with an eye towards that which will last forever. And this is actually so much of the teaching and preaching of Jesus on, on the better country that is to come, the heavenly one, as Jesus reminds us, the scripture reminds us that we’re simply sojourners, pilgrims headed to the promised land. And that’s where the blessedness will fully be experienced, this eternal reality that waits God’s people. Which by the way, this is why we strive to seek up, to store up treasures in heaven. This is why we poured our lives as offering, as an offering to service to God and others. This is why we’re even willing to suffer in this life for the cause of Jesus. Because we know that our suffering is not in vain. To know that one day our eyes will be our tears and our eyes will be dried. That this will all be temporary. And as that day comes, we’ll be replaced with blessedness, with joy, with rejoicing. Second, in this sermon, Jesus is helping his disciples understand the reality that as we live out our faith like in this life, it might bring some painful, unpleasant realities that we’ll have to endure. In the Sermon on the Plain, Jesus talked about the reality of potentially being poor. In the Sermon on the Mount speaks Of being poor in spirit, which is tied to humility and as maybe this is what Jesus is referring to here, the sermon on the plain. But to me this actually feels like Jesus is speaking towards like financial poverty of being poor. Where many throughout church history, including the 12 disciples falling after Jesus in his life, would bring like financial hardships for a host of different reasons which because of financial hardships at times in this present life, in this sermon, God’s people had to battle real physical hunger. Although we mentioned here, the hunger here could also be a hungering for righteousness with the sermon the Mount speaks to. However, I do think that Jesus is actually speaking towards like physical hunger here where plenty throughout church history, including his disciples. They didn’t always know where their next meal might come from, which adds meanings to like the Lord’s Prayer and give us our daily bread. Furthermore, in this life many Christians have faced hardships for being disciples of Jesus. Hardships that even the prophets had to endure. Hardships in the text has caused many to weep. Weeping that has come because of others have hated them or excluded them from certain things. Weeping because of how their name has been reviled and spurned as evil simply because of their faith in Jesus, the Son of Man. Yes, as a Christian, a follower of Jesus Christ, we live with the joy of eternal life that is to come, which is a joy that we can even experience in different measures in this life. However, that being said in this sermon, for disciples of Jesus, if we faithfully live out our faith, pain, difficulty, hardships, they can be a reality. A reality is part of the cost of following after Christ. A cost that we must count. A cost that many throughout history, including many today face. For us, this is like a hard truth that Jesus is giving to his disciples in this sermon on the plain. This is not like an easy thing for them to hear or for us to hear, which by the way also should be part of what preaching should have. Where at times, as the text calls for it, hard things need to be said, hard things need to be heard. Scripture warns us that sermons just can’t be there just like to tickle our ears, to just maybe tell us what we want to hear. Rather to tell us the hard truth like this, the sermon that we need to hear. As you keep going. As hard as it would have been for disciples to hear this, how being a disciple could bring a lot of hardships towards them in this life, hard things could come their way, but it actually would have been a harder truth for those who are like listening in, who are not yet his disciples, which, by the way, I do recognize might be somewhat true for some of us here this morning. That you’re here, we’re grateful you’re here, but you’re here, you’re not yet a follower of Christ. So in this sermon, after the four blessings, blessings that come for those who by faith follow him, we see in verses 24 through 26, we now see Jesus pronounced four woes, woes that come for not following him. Woes. If you’re not a Christian, I actually want to plead with you to hear hears. It’s almost like ice water, like running down your back, back that causes you to like to wake up and to by faith run to Jesus and the blessedness that he is. So let’s read through the woes again. I want to read them the same way I read through the blessings and ways that hopefully create some momentum and weight that the sermon Jesus had. And then I want to circle back to give some details, details on the Wo. So verse 24 says, but woe to you who are rich, for you received your consolation. Woe to you who are full now, for you shall be hungry. Woe to you who laugh now, for you shall mourn and weep. Woe to you when all people speak well of you, for so their fathers did, the false prophets. Okay, now a few things here. So first, the four woes, these obviously stand in sharp contrast to the four blessings that Jesus started his sermon with. And this woe here, this is actually used by Jesus in very forceful ways where he’s still having like, resolve in his eyes as he communicates these woes, where through these woes, Jesus communicated like a declaration of like, judgment and misery from God on those who reject him. So I mentioned this in the past, but I want to mention this again. So in Scripture, there’s. There’s really only two ways that one can live. There’s a blessed way that comes from following Jesus, that will result in eternal life with him. But then there’s the woeful way of judgment and misery that will come with eternity apart from Jesus. Since Scripture does not give us some type of middle ground option, yes, this is a hard but important truth for us to hear to understand. This life is headed to two different, very different realities. The blessed way, the woeful way. Second, this word woe is actually something we also see throughout the Old Testament, much like we see the word blessing throughout the Old Testament, where throughout the Old Testament there’s actually woes given to God’s people for entertaining false prophets. What the sermon speaks upon and for us, I think maybe a little bit more subtle ways. So Jesus was giving his sermon here on the plain. This is like a sermon based on scripture, as Jesus is expounding, expositing scripture in light of himself. And this is actually one of the main reasons why we believe expository preaching is so important. If Jesus preached God’s word, should not every preacher and every sermon preach God’s word? Third, do you notice how the four woes, like the four blessings also are grounded in what? That. That which lies ahead. We’re in the kingdom of God as it fully comes. Like everything’s like turned around. We’re in this life. For the Christians who are suffering through hardship, in the end they’re going to be rewarded with blessing upon blessing, the fullness of joy and happiness for all eternity as you get to be with Jesus. But for those who reject God, who might be like receiving some benefits here and now, but in the end, not only will those benefits be removed, but with misery that will never wane. So back to the text. So sure, in this present life one can get rich without God in their life and enjoy some of the temporary benefits that wealth can offer. Where yes, those riches you can use to fill up your stomach. Where yes, in this life one can laugh it up and receive some type of like worldly praise. But if that’s all you have in this life, that’s all you have without God. In the end, not only will those things all vanish, but as mentioned, they’ll be replaced with misery. A couple things just on this back to winter earlier. So poor and hungry. This is why I think real physical poverty. Hungry is what Jesus is speaking to here. Not speaking about some type of poor in spirit or hunger and righteousness. This is how the rich and the full are used. So I think it’s meant to be. In contrast, second, having wealth, a full belly, laughter, reputation, others admire. So none of those things are wrong in themselves in this life. Okay, so don’t be mistaken there. In fact, in this life, those things actually be like blessings from, from God. In this life, the problem lies if we have those things apart from Christ, where these things almost become like idols to us that we’re putting like our hope and our trust in like wealth or reputation. That’s the problem, A problem that we actually must be warned of because those idols in the end will be idols that proved to be vain, where in the end they will not satisfy you, they will not in the end make you happy, they will not deliver to you what you need, which is forgiveness of sin and eternal blessedness of heaven. Only Jesus can offer those things through his death, through his resurrection from the dead, right? Those things in himself are not wrong. In the end, if you do not have Jesus, they’re in vain. They will not satisfy. They will lead you to misery. Which, by the way, kind of on that note, this is why every sermon should point us to Jesus Christ as the only one who will satisfy, as the one that we do desperately need, the One who loves us in such a way that he would die for us to take on all of the woes of God on the cross, where Jesus bore all of the misery, eternal misery upon himself to bear the punishment of our sin, so that through him we could find forgiveness and eternal life and joy forever and ever. Which leads to the conclusion of our sermon today. So let me just get a couple just summary thoughts on this greatest of all sermons of Jesus. So the first two will just be from the text and the last one is just from sermons. So first let God’s Word teach us that which is true. This is why the preaching and teaching was at the center of Jesus’s ministry, right? Jesus is the the way, the truth and the life. And he came to teach us the truth so that by the truth, the truth of God’s Word, that’s how we can be set free. So that by the truth we could have life, abundant life, both now and in eternity. While a sermon might be hard for us to digest, maybe some of the truths here in this passage might be hard for us to digest. These are truths that we need to hear, truths that we need to know, truths we need to believe in, truths we must obey, right? These hard truths are connected to the blessings of God. These harder truths are also connected to the woes of God. So we must hear that which is true. Second thing to where these truths of this text are pointing us to is we’re to live our life in light of eternal life that is to come and the kingdom of God that Jesus promises one day to usher in. So if this is it, just like just this life, nothing more, then sure, eat, drink, be merry, live for self, enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. But Scripture is so clear, including the sermon here from Jesus. The truth is, there’s so much more than just the here and now. There is an eternal life that is to come that for those who have faith in Christ will be the blessed life. Living with Christ in the heavenly places, experiencing the fullness of his joy in the new heavens and new earth. Let’s say it again. For those who reject him, there’s a life of eternal misery and judgment of sin for us. We must live our life in light of this eternal reality that is to come. Even though there could be a great cost in this life for doing so. Cost like suffering and pain. However, we must trust what our suffering that we might suffer for our faith in Christ and eternal life. Not only will Jesus fully comfort us in the text, he will even reward us when the sermon says even a great reward which reward whenever suffering we have in this life. As we get that rewards we’re with Jesus. Any suffering will feel slight and momentary in comparison to the weight of glory that awaits. And by the way, if you’re looking for some help on maybe how to think ahead, like how to live your life with an eternal like view. So there’s great ministry that is called Eternal Perspectives and I find it pretty helpful. So established by a former pastor named Randy Elkhorn who wrote one of my favorite books. I haven’t mentioned this in a little while, so I’ll mention it again. Book called Heaven. And so if you’d want some help to try to think through, you know, how do you live your life in ways that’s looking ahead, you know, I would look to eternal perspective ministry. Read the book on heaven. Especially now if you’re looking to try to read a book for the stretch run of winter that we have left, that’s one I’d recommend. Okay, last one. So be sober minded about preaching. Which brings us back to the start, what my friend wanted me to have as a preacher. But it’s actually not just preachers who are to be sober minded when it comes to preaching. The congregation should as well. Now, when it comes to preaching, obviously none of us can preach a sermon like Jesus. In fact, even the Apostle Paul referred to his preaching as folly, which is true for all preachers. Even more so, right? None of us are apostles like Paul was. It’s folly. Folly where every sermon is like soon forgotten. Almost like a meal that we consume. Soon forgotten. However, scripture tells us that it’s through preaching. That’s how God chooses to manifest His Word in ways that through His Holy Spirit he speaks to his people in ways that we can see. The Lord Jesus Christ that God is using preaching to bring people to faith, to grow us in our faith, to sustain us in our faith, to persevere us in our faith all the way to the life that is to come. So be sober minded when it comes to preaching. If a preacher should have resolve in his eyes, a congregation should have resolve in your ears. So say it again. Please pray for the preaching here at Red Village that God would use it to communicate truth, even hard truth. Please keep the pulpit here at Red Village like lovingly accountable that the word is preached in season and out of season. As a congregation, we never settle for anything less than God’s words exposited in ways that point us to Christ, who he is, what he’s done for us. Have a longing in your heart to hear the word preached. We’re actually seeking to prepare your own heart to receive sermons. By the way, this is also one of the reasons, maybe a primary reason, why we hope you’re actually here every Sunday to take in a steady diet of the word preached. I say it not to guilt you or shame you. Things can happen. But just imagine if you went weeks without feeding your physical body or if you just happen to feed your physical body just like every so often as is kind of convenient, just imagine how weak, how malnourished your body would be. As important it is to feed your physical body to the steady diet, how much more important to feed your souls week in, week out with God’s Word. Yes, most sermons are like meals. You consume them and you forget them. But yes, say it again. That is how God is revealing himself to us, to grow us, to sustain us, to persevere us in the faith. So church, whether you’re preaching God’s word or taking it in, may we all be sober minded when it comes to the word that is preached. Knowing that in the grace of God, the preached word is a pretty sweet gift, a pretty thoughtful gift from a kind and generous God. Let’s pray. Lord, I do pray that you’d help us to not only hear your word but heed to it. Lord, please help us to live rightly in ways that you defined are true for blessedness. God, help us to live in light of that which is to come. I pray for those who might be here this morning, who are not yet disciples of Christ, that today you would open up their eyes to see the beauty of Jesus, that they would turn into him. And Lord, I do pray just for just this pulpit, the sermons that come from it, whether it be me or others. Lord, please help us to rightly divide the word of truth. And Lord, please bless the preaching of your Word for our good and your glory in Jesus name, Amen. The post The Greatest Sermon of All Time – Luke 6: 20-26 appeared first on Red Village Church.

In Part 2 of our conversation with author Tia Levings, we go even deeper into what it actually takes to leave a high-control Christian fundamentalist marriage and rebuild a life on the other side. Tia shares more about how religious doctrine, patriarchy, and fear were used to justify control, submission, and abuse, and how difficult it can be to recognize harm when it's framed as God's will or “biblical womanhood.”We talk about spiritual abuse, domestic abuse in religious communities, and the psychological gymnastics required to survive when obedience is treated as virtue and autonomy is treated as sin. Tia unpacks the long-term impact of purity culture, religious trauma, and coercive control, especially for women and children raised inside authoritarian belief systems. We also dig into grief, anger, and the slow, radical work of reclaiming agency after leaving a marriage and a faith structure that demanded self-erasure.As always, we look at the bigger patterns: how fundamentalist Christianity and other high-demand belief systems create conditions where abuse is normalized, victims are silenced, and leaving comes at an enormous personal cost. Tia's voice is clear, compassionate, and unflinching—and her story is a powerful reminder that survival itself can be an act of defiance.Paperback copies of A Well-Trained Wife are available February 20, and you can pre-order Tia's upcoming book, I Belong to Me, coming May 5.

This episode is sponsored by Betterhelp.In this episode, Tia Levings—bestselling author of A Well-Trained Wife and survivor of Christian fundamentalism who appears in the Amazon docuseries Shiny Happy People—returns to dig deeper into what happened after escaping her high‑control marriage and the broader world of Christian patriarchy and homeschooling that enabled it. She talks about navigating the court system and custody battles with an abuser who knew how to weaponize “godly fatherhood,” how churches and pastors closed ranks around him, and what it really takes to rebuild a life, parenting, and identity after years inside complementarian theology, Quiverfull‑style gender roles, and domestic violence justified with Bible verses.Tia also shares how writing, advocacy, and connecting with other survivors of religious abuse, authoritarian homeschooling, and Christian nationalist culture have become part of her healing—and why she believes telling messy, complicated stories about faith, family, and freedom is one of the most powerful ways to push back on the systems that trained her to stay small and silent in the first place.Paperback copies of A Well-Trained Wife are available February 20, and you can pre-order Tia's upcoming book, I Belong to Me, coming May 5.

Send us a textRHOP-From Private Jet to Gas Station SnacksRHOP S10 E16 – “Driving on Empty” | Podcast SummaryColorado Day 2 starts with big plans and even bigger confusion. Giselle lays out an ambitious itinerary—Four Seasons luxury, fly fishing, open-fire lunch, brunch, honky-tonk bars, and a tight flight window—and immediately puts it to a group vote. Spoiler: democracy fails.Tension builds as the ladies split on activities, logistics, and where people actually slept. Some cast members (Angel, Tia, and K) don't stay at the Four Seasons despite Giselle securing rooms, which sparks trust issues and resentment before sunrise.By morning, the group is fractured, running on fumes, and literally driving in the wrong direction. Timers count down to the flight while Angel's GPS betrays everyone, turning a luxe private-jet getaway into gas-station snacks and portable bathrooms. The fly-fishing excursion—complete with chef, guides, and untouched food—becomes the trip that never happens.Meanwhile, old wounds explode in the car. Stacey and Jassi finally address loyalty, Charisse, exchanged phone numbers, wedding support, and a shocking revelation about secretly recorded phone calls. Wendy jumps in hard, sides are taken, voices are raised, and insults fly. Stacey walks away, bags in hand, while the group debates “realness” versus betrayal.Eventually, emotions crack. Tears fall, hugs happen, and relationships are loosely patched—but not healed. The episode ends with rain, exhaustion, and the unmistakable feeling that this trip broke more than it fixed.The final moments roll into life updates: wins, losses, breakups, legal trouble, business priorities, family shifts—and a jaw-dropping tease of Karen's release from jail, setting up a must-watch season finale.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Hosts Greg Bluestein and Tia Mitchell answer listener questions in this Monday mailbag episode of Politically Georgia. They start with whether Senate Republicans made a strategic mistake by voting against Affordable Care Act health care subsidies as costs rise for Georgians. They explain why Democrats forced those votes, how GOP candidates are defending them, and why the issue is likely to loom large in the U.S. Senate race. They also touch on a brewing fight over “academic redshirting” in Georgia schools, the state of the governor's race, and growing scrutiny of mystery political ads targeting Lt. Gov. Burt Jones. Greg and Tia break down what the law requires when it comes to disclosure, why the ads live in a legal gray area, and how dark money is already shaping Georgia's 2026 elections.

Born in Libya to a Christian family, abandoned as a young child in a Pakistani boarding school after her mother's sudden death, and later facing rejection and hardship in the UK, Tia spent eight years living as a lesbian—finding temporary belonging in gay clubs amid heavy drinking, chain-smoking, and profound emptiness. Yet through a series of divine interventions, terrifying dreams, and a life-altering supernatural moment, God dramatically broke through, leading her to encounter Jesus in Scripture and walk away from that life entirely. This raw conversation uncovers the deep impact of trauma, the emptiness of alternative lifestyles, and the unmatched freedom and satisfaction found only in Christ—no going back to “Egypt.” A must-watch if you're wrestling with same-sex attraction, rejection, addiction, doubt in God's love, or wondering how the church can better welcome those leaving LGBTQ+ identities.

Send us a textRHOP-Projection, Apologies & Pink Pussy CocktailsRHOP S10 E15 – “The Rocky Road to Sisterhood” Podcast SummaryDay two in Colorado picks up with unresolved tension after the disastrous first night. Angel heads to meet the ladies while the group continues dissecting her comments about checking with her husband, Bobby, regarding childcare. Stacey, Jassi, and Monique question whether Angel is using her kids as an excuse, with Monique projecting her own past experiences and wishing she'd addressed Angel directly instead of letting the conversation travel through the group.The women arrive at the airport to a luxe private jet provided by Stella Jets, immediately sparking speculation that the flight is comped for promo. Before takeoff, Angel attempts to apologize for the water and heat issues at the house, but Giselle is not having it. She accuses Angel of being a terrible host who never checked in, while Wendy co-signs that a true host would have shown concern, even if the problem was already being fixed. Despite Angel explaining she was in “fix-it mode,” Giselle makes it clear the apology is too little, too late—and takes credit for moving everyone to the Four Seasons. A toast is made… to Giselle, leaving Angel visibly defeated.Once whiskey starts flowing, the mood lightens slightly, but the core issue remains. Monique and Jassi explain their concern stemmed from Monique's own marriage experiences, but Angel firmly shuts down the narrative that she's depleted or unhappy, insisting her marriage is loving and supportive. Wendy pushes Angel to “stand on business” and own who she's close to, rather than trying to please everyone. Angel becomes emotional, expressing how painful it is to feel disbelieved while telling her truth. Monique, Ashley, and Tia agree the group is being especially hard on Angel.The trip shifts into full Aspen luxury mode at Kemo Sabe, complete with custom hats, turquoise jewelry, sky-high shopping totals, and plenty of shade. Monique stays sober, Ashley plays bartender, and Giselle side-eyes everyone's spending. The energy shifts again when Mauricio (Moe) pops up in the VVIP lounge, sending Giselle into protective mode while Stacey and Jassi encourage Ashley to shoot her shot. Accusations of cock-blocking fly, Beverly Hills–Potomac crossover drama brews, and Giselle struggles to control the narrative.The episode ends with yet another divide: Giselle announces an executive suite dinner and brunch plan, while Angel insists they have an early activity scheduled. The group appears split, the tension unresolved, and the promise of fly fishing still nowhere in sight—setting up a chaotic continuation next week.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

This is a reimagined “I Have A Dream” speech as a rage anthem. We have to shift the energy from "hopeful persistence" to "righteous, explosive fury." So here is my hip-hop version of a call to reflection. The dream won't die, we will fiercely defend it. I HAVE A DREAM—that you're terrified! I HAVE A DREAM—that your hate has died! I HAVE A DREAM—that the truth will sting! LET FREEDOM RING! LET FREEDOM RING! LET. FREEDOM. RING! From the red hills! RING! From the snow caps! RING! From every village! From every state! We're drowning out the sound of your ancient hate! FREE AT LAST! FREE AT LAST! GOD ALMIGHTY, WE'RE TAKING IT BACK! I just dropped "I was the 80" on Spotify, Apple, and wherever you listen to music!!! I remember the 80/20 rule in Tyler Perry's Why Did I Get Married? This was a powerful relationship metaphor to explain why people often cheat and leave good partners. The 80 is what you need. That 20 is what you want. I am the 80, we are the 80. I firmly believe that we are in a new age and it's age of Aquarius. It's all about sovereignty, frequency, and interconnectedness. We're moving from the Piscean age, when we relied on external authority and reactive medicine. Now it's my responsibility to manage my own vibration and use nature to help me heal. Dayumm!! The Black Dante' is fire!!! I have the honor of reading The Count of Monte Cristo, which is more than an adventure. It's an epic that mirrors the tumultuous life of the creator, Alexander Dumas. He just didn't write about a man seeking justice. He wrote from the perspective of a man whose own family had been elevated by a revolution and raised by restoration.   Real HW and MM Angel Angel Angel-This trip is not for this show.

He's Crude, He's Crass, He's Family: An Uncle Buck Deep DiveWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Join hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell, along with special guest Heath Wilcock, as they make themselves at home with John Hughes' 1989 comedy Uncle Buck. In this lovable exploration of family dynamics, the trio discusses how John Candy's portrayal of the slovenly bachelor turned temporary guardian perfectly captures the heart of what makes this film a timeless classic—even when he's threatening to show up to school in his bathrobe.The hosts dive deep into what makes Buck Russell such a magical character, from his giant pancakes the size of trash can lids to his absurdist approach to parenting ("I have a friend in the crime tech lab"). They explore how the film balances John Hughes' signature blend of sincere character moments with cartoonish comedy, discussing everything from the iconic rapid-fire questioning scene with young Macaulay Culkin to Tia's remarkable character arc. Heath shares his lifelong love for the film, while Nathan reflects on rewatching it after 20 years, and Krissy relates to it with fresh eyes as a parent of a teenager. The conversation touches on how Uncle Buck directly inspired Hughes to write Home Alone, the film's surprisingly dark moments (kidnapping Bug, anyone?), and why John Candy remains irreplaceable in the role—despite studio interest in Tom Cruise.Additional Thoughts:The clap-on moment that lights up Buck's entire building exemplifies the film's magical realismJean Louisa Kelly's performance as Tia walks the perfect line between venomous and vulnerableThe film's blissfully short runtime keeps everything moving without feeling episodicMarcy Dahlgren-Frost remains one of cinema's strangest neighbor charactersBuck's laundry-in-the-microwave running gag never gets oldFinal Verdict: Heath gives it a perfect 10 giant pancakes with butter, praising the tight storytelling and character work. Nathan awards 7 pancakes, noting some episodic pacing in the middle but celebrating Hughes' cleverness and Candy's charm. Krissy serves up 9 pancakes, highlighting how well the film holds up for family viewing.Deep Cut Recommendations: Heath suggests The Haunted Hotel on Netflix for another lovable problematic uncle. Nathan offers Elf for seasonal viewing, plus Yojimbo for those seeking a samurai take on the catalyst character. Krissy rounds it out with A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole for comedy with a larger-than-life protagonist.Want to hear this episode early and ad-free?

Wendy reveals that a realtor friend claimed Angel wanted a $14,000/month property while only willing to pay $1,000—which Angel vehemently denies, jumping up to defend her “rich ass” and insisting she did pay $14K. The group debates the realtor's credibility, with Wendy standing firm that her friend has no reason to lie. Stacey suggests calling the agent on the spot, but Angel shuts it down, insisting not everything needs to be handled publicly.Angel attempts to reset with a “mindful moment,” declaring her business will open in 2026 regardless of gossip. Tensions linger as the ladies move into a yoga-style intention-setting session—where Giselle's only intention is securing a room with a bathroom, foreshadowing what's to come.Housing drama explodes when it's revealed not everyone can stay at Angel's estate. Kiana and Tia end up back at Angel's house, while others are left at a distant rental. Giselle immediately questions the logistics, fairness, and lack of amenities. Meanwhile, Angel calls complaints about the $1.6M home “ingratitude.”The mixer at Angel's property is visually stunning—36 acres, open-fire dining, violinist, oxygen bar—but the vibe is off. Giselle directly tells Angel her hosting energy was “whacked,” criticizing the long drive, lack of water, and separation of the group. Angel apologizes but explains it's peak season and claims she was unaware of the water issues.The night devolves into emotional confrontations, particularly between Stacey, Tia, and Monique. Accusations of lying, flip-flopping, and leaking information to Monique's ex escalate to threats of legal action and custody modifications. Trust is clearly fractured.Angel unveils lavish plans for a private jet trip to Aspen, but any excitement is overshadowed when the women return—late, in the dark, with no security and no running water. Day two opens with prayers just to wash hands. Giselle officially takes control, calling the situation “foolishness,” while Angel discovers the water failure only after being alerted—along with learning new gossip about what's being said about her husband Bobby.The episode ends drenched in unresolved tension, logistical failure, and mounting distrust—emotionally and literally high and dry.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

Movement is a natural way to combat inflammation and boost energy and brain power. Rosemary tea, made by boiling rosemary for 15 minutes, is a great anti-inflammatory option. While injectable medications like Ozempic are popular, natural remedies like ginger, turmeric, and rosemary can be equally effective without the side effects. Higher Ground Available on Spotify, Apple, or wherever you listen to music. Pope Leo advises avoiding five types of people to navigate life peacefully: those who suffocate joy, manipulators, those who diminish your growth, darkness bearers, and the indifferent. Protect your inner peace and rise above negativity to live in clarity and grace.   The original “Wonderful Wizard of Oz” book, published in 1900, explores themes beyond a children's fairy tale, including industrial era anxiety and psychological growth. The story, set in the gray prairies of Kansas, follows Dorothy's journey to the vibrant land of Oz, where she learns that the characters she meets already possess the traits they seek. The book also serves as a commentary on the free silver movement, symbolizing the dangers of relying on external authority and the importance of self-reliance. The Wizard of Oz is a political allegory, with D.C. as the Emerald City and politicians as humbugs. The Wicked Witch of the West represents modern data monopolies like Amazon and Google, who control information and delivery. Breaking free from social media and finding individual agency on a local level is crucial for true protection and empowerment. I find meaning and nourishment in exploring themes and symbolism, much as they did with The Wizard of Oz. I reimagine “The Wizard of Oz” with Dorothy as an African-American woman, representing the resilience and power of black women in politics. It highlights the overlooked contributions of women like Kamala Harris, Stacey Abrams, and Jasmine Crockett, who are portrayed as strong, qualified leaders. The yellow brick road symbolizes the path to empowerment, built through sacrifice and community. #WizardOfOzReimagined #BlackWomenInPolitics #PodcastAlert #ModernAllegory #Representation #KamalaHarris #StaceyAbrams #JasmineCrockett #Sisterhood #EmeraldCity #PodcastCommunity #JasmineCrockett #StaceyAbrams Crypto-Scammers are on some new BS..."Chen Zhi was among three Chinese nationals arrested on 6 January after a joint investigation into transnational crime lasting several months, Cambodia said." Stacy Rush is paying the girls poorly and is being criticized for her delusional behavior. Tia underestimated Stacy's delusions and is now trying to align herself with Gizelle Bryant. Angel is overreacting to all situations involving Bobby, and her self-image seems to be shattered, leading her to consider returning to Denver. Angel Massey's behavior on the latest episode of Real Housewives of Potomac is confusing and inconsistent. She struggles to fit in with the group, failing to connect with the other women and often appearing disengaged and uncomfortable. Her attempts to impress Giselle and her delayed reactions to situations make her seem out of place, and her lack of authenticity is evident to the other cast members.

Let me tell you a little story about my meeting Samantha Erickson... I think she reached out to me (my Instagram name is Grounded in Maine, and she's a Maine business, so I assume that's why), and the idea of used formal dresses was such a great business plan, so I was sold, and invited her to talk about it on the podcast. When I got her podcast guest form, she said "turning grief and pain into purpose," and if you know me, I'm all in for all the deep conversations, so I couldn't wait for the chance to learn more about the story of Tia's Prom Closet Project. Tia Morrell was Samantha's best friend, and she passed away in 2024, 4 months after giving birth to her first child, Zara. Tia was a total fashion girl, and had a huge heart, not letting someone miss out on a special occasion because they didn't have the right outfit - Samantha tells the sweetest story showing this. So Samantha, Tia's mom, and a couple other of Tia's friends started Tia's Prom Closet Project - really a circular fashion goldmine, located in the small town of Harrison in southern Maine. They started 4 months ago now with 20 dresses, and 3 months later when I spoke with Samantha, they had received close to 600 donated dresses to offer folks!Samantha has so many stories about this, and the reach they've made in just a few short months shows the power of community.  I'm going to leave you with this last quote from Samantha: "This is bigger than dresses; it's about dignity. A pay it forward movement built on kindness, confidence, and connection, all in honor of an incredible soul.Every dress that leaves our racks carries more than fabric and sparkle — it carries a story, a piece of someone else's love and hope." You can find Tia's Prom Closet Project on Instagram here: https://www.instagram.com/tiaspromcloset/ And on Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/people/Tias-Prom-Closet/61580223976310/Send me a message!Support the showLike this episode?
