Jesus speaks bluntly about the persecutions and struggles his disciples will face, yet he consoles them by saying that the Holy Spirit will direct their words when they are put to the test. (Lectionary #387) July 11, 2025 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Jenn Hildreth and Aimee Leone have conducted and compiled hours of interviews with women who juggle motherhood with being professional athletes and sports executives in their new book, Tough as a Mother: Women in Sports, Working Moms, and Shared Traits that Empower us All. These dynamic women join me to discuss the power in sharing one's own story in order to help others grow; the correlation between being ultra-competitors and everyday moms; the “nine tenets” of tough motherhood, and how “having it all” looks different for everybody.

Boomer & Gio continue their vacation so today it's Jerry and Chris McMonigle. We started with C-Mac's favorite team, the Yankees, who are having no problem with the Mariners. Jazz Chisholm hit 2 home runs last night and Jerry said he's fun to watch. Yankees pitcher Cam Schlittler made his debut last night and his parents were there to see it. C-Lo is here for his first update of the day and has a few WFAN hosts who can't say ‘Schlittler'. We heard one of Jazz's homers. The Mariners hit four in their loss. Jazz talked about Schlittler having red cheeks last night. The Yankees DFA'd DJ LeMahieu. A Vikings player was scammed out of $240K, making deposits into accounts. In the final segment of the hour, we talked to C-Mac about the terrible callers overnight.

Turtles have been around for 200 million years—outliving dinosaurs, surviving ice ages, and basically minding their own business the whole time. Tough on the outside, chill on the inside, they seem built to last. So why are they suddenly disappearing? In part one of this two-part series, we hit the trail in search of one surprisingly elusive reptile: the eastern box turtle. These ancient creatures may seem slow, but their decline is happening fast. And the scariest part? We barely understand what it could mean.Guests:Thomas Akre, head of the Turtle Conservation Ecology Lab at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute Maxwell Earle, outreach and engagement coordinator for the Turtle Conservation Ecology Lab at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute Chris Polinski, lab manager for the Turtle Conservation Ecology Lab at the Smithsonian's National Zoo and Conservation Biology Institute

Episode Notes On this week's episode of Orange Juice Optional: Michelle is frustrated with an early morning construction project. She vents that this project is waking up the dogs and creating a huge mess. Listening to her concerns, Suzanne reminds her that in situations like this, setting expectations early on is always a conversation worth having - Even if it's a difficult conversion to have.  Then the discussion shifts to a recent exasperating day that Suzanne experienced while arranging medical care for her mother. It was definitely a lesson that she learned in the pressure of the moment.  Knowing that there are other people going through this process, Suzanne shares some valuable pointers that she has learned the hard way.  To close out this episode, Michelle will share this week's ‘Something to Sip on'. OJO's 'Something to Sip on' is always a featured quote intended to inspire reflection and continued contemplation.  Until next week everyone stay authentic to who you are!  Cheers!!   For more information about this podcast, please visit the following locations: Orange Juice Optional (Facebook & Instagram) www.orangejuiceoptional.com www.spirituallysituated.com Email: orangejuiceoptional@gmail.com Mixed & Edited by Next Day Podcast info@nextdaypodcast.com

Brock and Salk are still trying to make sense of who the Mariners are and who the rest of the league is, because there is so much uncertainty despite it being after the 4th of July. Salk also has to fully admit he was wrong and walk back a take of his, and it has to do with Cal Raleigh being intriguing. In Blue 88, topics include some Seahawks breaking news that we missed from last week, who is the Seahawks equivalent of Julio Rodriguez making the All-Star Game and which UW Husky is making early noise in the first round of 2026 NFL Mock Drafts.

In this powerful episode of the BraveCo Podcast, Jason Vallotton sits down with his father, Kris Vallotton, to discuss what it really takes to prepare sons for marriage and build strong, lasting relationships. The conversation explores how most men enter marriage unprepared, largely because they were never taught key values like covenant, ownership, emotional responsibility, and flexibility.Kris shares profound insights into the difference between cohabitation and covenant marriage, explaining how true commitment is rooted in sacrificial love and lifelong dedication. They emphasize the importance of teaching young men emotional regulation, spiritual leadership, and practical habits—long before they enter a romantic relationship.The episode also dives into the role of a woman as a “catalyst” in a man's life, and why many men will never fully step into their purpose without that relational sharpening. They unpack the danger of coddling kids, the necessity of emotional flexibility in marriage, and how confidence is built through consistent ownership and challenge—not comfort.Jason and Kris weave together stories from their lives, including powerful examples of parenting, failure, resilience, and the redemptive grace of God. Whether you're a young man preparing for marriage, a father raising sons, or a man trying to rebuild after a breakdown, this episode offers deep wisdom, practical guidance, and raw encouragement to grow into the man God designed you to be.Chapters:00:00 – Do You Have a Plan to Become the Man God Called You to Be?  01:24 – Why We're Failing to Prepare Our Sons for Marriage  04:54 – The Power of Intentional Fatherhood: Raising Sons Into Men  06:02 – Marriage Is a Covenant, Not a Contract  09:10 – What Every Man Must Know Before He Marries  12:36 – Teaching Emotional Safety and Responsibility in the Home  15:21 – You're Not Supposed to Be Complete Before Marriage  18:00 – How a Wife Catalyzes a Man's Purpose  24:54 – Real Manhood Is Built Through Pain, Ownership, and Grit  33:48 – The Secret to Strong Marriages: Emotional Flexibility and Covenant Leadership ABOUT BRAVECOWe live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

When the market shifts in real estate, you can go from the high of your best year ever to the low of wondering if you'll ever sell a home again. You're showing up, doing the work, and checking all the boxes. But during a downturn, the quick wins of a hot market disappear, and suddenly, effort doesn't equal results. This is where most agents spiral. They panic, pause, or start changing everything. But the real danger isn't the market. It's how you respond to the silence. Because when things slow down, the most tempting (and most costly) mistake is to stop doing the very activities that used to work, just because they're not giving you immediate ROI. So, how do you push through a slump? How do you keep showing up when it feels like nothing is working? In this episode, agent Lauren Buckler shares how she went from a $10M year to a brutal 8-transaction stretch, and how she rebuilt her business without changing strategies.    Your objections will always transform because that market's always changing. You have to keep up. -Lauren Buckler   Things You'll Learn In This Episode  The comeback equation When your business tanks, the average agent pivots. Why is it smarter to double down on the same activities?  Stop using stale objection handlers Our scripts have to evolve with the market. How do we make sure we're using objection handlers that match what's actually going on?  Cold calling isn't a phone game Getting over our fear of cold calls isn't about better scripts; it's about controlling our energy before we ever touch the dial. How do we do this?  Don't get motivated, get bored High-performers don't win because they feel inspired. What actually drives them?    Guest Bio Lauren Buckler has been a Realtor since 2020.

We all know veterans who have battled the transition from military service to civilian life. Nick Koumalatsos was a Marine raider who can certainly speak to that. After discharging from the military after 12 years of service, he battled that adjustment, going through divorce, bankruptcy, and even serious thoughts of suicide. It took him many years to figure out a formula that would work for him to pull himself out of these abysses. But throughout his life, Nick had always been seeking an angle to move up in the world. This led him to start his first business, and he's now run multiple businesses. The one that gets him most fired up is Johnny Slicks, which makes organic personal grooming products right here in the USA. Nick describes how they have created a strong family-like company atmosphere as they do all production and distribution in-house instead of farming these aspects out. He has also founded Core Medical Group, whose differentiator is providing personal care and service for men who need to determine whether they should explore testosterone replacement therapy. He's also created a transformative coaching group called Agoge that currently includes men from ages 17 to 74. It's a very hands-on community to help men overcome challenges. The lessons include Mastering Yourself, Leading Your Family, Mastering Your Finances where Nick shares what the wealthy don't tell the rest of us about, and Leaders Creating More Leaders – creating your own legacy. He has put a tremendous number of resources and lessons on his website, nickkoumalatsos.com including a free course well worth checking out. Related to this, Nick is leading a retreat in Kona in October for those who feel stuck in life or having a lot of stops and starts that prevent them from making progress. If that's all not enough, he's helping add his Marine experience to the production of the upcoming Punisher movie. You'll be able to feel Nick's abundant energy in this chat and learn a lot about how you can take control of your own inaction and/or overcome serious challenges like Nick did to create a fulfilling life helping others in myriad ways.Nick Koumalatsosnickkoumalatsos.cominfo@nickkoumalatsos.comInstagram and Threads @nickkoumalatsosFacebook Nick KoumalatsosBill Stahlsilly_billy@msn.comFacebook Bill StahlInstagram and Threads @stahlor and @we_are_superman_podcastYouTube We Are Superman PodcastPlease support Team Leadville and Warriors' Ascent help prevent veteran suicide!

When you think of Gordon Ramsay, you probably think of shouting, sarcasm, and one-liners hot enough to sear a steak. But behind the fire is a habit that's far more important than the volume: He takes feedback professionally, not personally.In this episode, we go beyond the reputation and dig into the mindset that helped Gordon rise, not just to fame, but to genuine mastery. From his early football dreams to Michelin-starred kitchens, Ramsay shares how embracing criticism, and choosing to learn from it instead of defending against it, changed everything.We explore:Why your first reaction to feedback is rarely your bestWhat neuroscience tells us about why feedback feels so threateningThe “three-beat” rule that can shift how you respondA better way to give feedback: the feedforward methodHow humility, not ego, fuels real growthWhether you're leading a team, learning a craft, or just trying to handle tough conversations better, this episode is for you.Because growth isn't about never being wrong. It's about what you do when someone tells you you are.Listen to the full episode with Gordon Ramsay: https://pod.fo/e/1fa614Here is more information on the studies referenced: The effects of feedback interventions on performance, published in Psychological Bulletin: Avraham N.
