January 14, 2026 In this week's podcast, Pastor Mike and Randy discuss how Jesus is better, and why Jesus' once for all sacrifice makes our salvation all the more sweet.

Andi is joined by professional organizer Karin Freed who discusses the complexities of chronic disorganization and hoarding disorder. She clarifies that hoarding is a clinical mental health diagnosis characterized by a persistent difficulty in discarding items, which is distinct from temporary situational clutter. The discussion explores how mental health issues can contribute to these behaviors, affecting people from all backgrounds. To address these issues, Freed highlights the "Buried in Treasures" class, a structured program that utilizes cognitive behavioral therapy and group support to help individuals stop acquiring items and start letting go. She emphasizes that recovery is possible through peer accountability, safety-first strategies, and shifting one's mindset regarding personal possessions. "Buried in Treasures" groups promote a non-judgmental approach to help people reclaim their living spaces and improve their quality of life.

It's More Rosebud, and this episode is a conversation that took place at the Henley Literary Festival in 2025 between Gyles and Dame Joanna Lumley, about her Book of Treasures, which had then just been published. This conversation is about poetry, books and quotations that inspire Joanna. It's also about her childhood, and how moving about a lot made her curious, and optimistic. It's about Leonardo Di Caprio, Dame Patricia Routledge, Frank Sinatra and Sir John Betjeman. It's about the lowest point in Joanna's life, and about a moment of joy. Enjoy this. Hosted on Acast.

December 31, 2025 In this week's podcast, Pastor Brett and Randy discuss the dangers of social media leading us to worldly fables, the importance of discipline over feelings, and rightly understanding the Bible's teaching of God being the savior of all men.

This past year brought more change than I expected—personally, spiritually, and professionally. As you'll hear in this episode, some of the change distracted me from pursuing a life free from clutter. So I wanted to share: A) A little recap of my year (some analytic numbers, some personal struggles, etc.) and B) What has helped me recalibrate and reconnect with why decluttering matters in the first place.I hope it motivates you to feel excited about embracing a life that rejects materialism, too!

After Christmas Treasures - Luke 2:25-35 The season after Christmas invites us to slow down and reflect on the true meaning of the celebration. Like Mary and Joseph, who paused, pondered, and prayed as they parented Jesus, this is a time to seek deeper understanding. When we take time to pause, think, pray, and reflect, we discover the real treasures of Christmas—wonder, amazement, and lasting joy found in the journey with God.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year from Trace Church. In this powerful post-Christmas message, Pastor Shawn Prokes teaches a timely and deeply biblical message about what we treasure and why it matters.Before the sermon begins, we invite you to pause the video and gather communion elements. Grab bread or crackers to represent the body of Christ and juice to represent His blood. We will take communion together at the end of this message.In Truths About Treasures, Pastor Shawn walks through Jesus' teaching in Matthew 6 and helps us understand the difference between earthly treasures that fade and heavenly treasures that last. Using personal stories, Scripture, and practical application, this sermon challenges us to examine our hearts and reorient our lives around what truly matters.This message covers:• What Scripture says we should not treasure• What Scripture calls us to treasure• How our hearts function as a storehouse• Why we must make room to follow Jesus fully• The truth that God treasures us first• Why getting treasures right helps us get Christmas rightThis sermon is especially meaningful for the season after Christmas, when we reflect on what we value and how we step into a new year with purpose. Pastor Shawn reminds us that treasuring Jesus is not about guilt or materialism but about living with a gospel-shaped heart.At the conclusion of the message, we share communion together, remembering the body and blood of Christ and the greatest treasure of all, Jesus Himself.If this message encouraged you, please like, subscribe, and share it with someone who needs to hear it. We would also love to hear how this sermon impacted you in the comments.Thank you for being part of what God is doing at Trace Church.Go be a Trace.

A "national treasure" is an artifact with significant cultural history associated with a particular country. The Norwegian primstav certainly qualifies. It's a kind of perpetual calendar or almanac stick originating around 1100 was used to track important agricultural and religious dates through symbols used in particular communities.   Then there's the Golden Horns of Gallehus, exquisite artifacts discovered in 1649 and 1734 in Southern Denmark. They show the first use of runic Germanic writing (Proto Norse) in the form of a full sentence. Their display in Danish museums was interrupted by a horrible event. Join me as we learn about these two national treasures and hear a Nordic song from 1300 written in runes with notes.  These are two famous cultural icons that you've probably never heard of. We also play the oldest song written in Proto-Norse runes entitled, "Drømde mik en drøm i nat" by Ensemble Mare Balticum. Visit our episode page at National Treasures : The Primstav and the Horns of Gallehus for pictures, links, and notes.

When her husband was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor while she was pregnant with their first child, Andrea Nakayama's career took a hard left turn. Since then, she founded the Functional Nutrition Alliance and has spent the last 20 years helping practitioners and patients learn about a holistic approach to health. In this episode, you'll hear about the importance of both traditional medicine AND functional medicine—and why the term "functional medicine" has been exploited to encourage overconsumption. Together, we explore the state of chronic illness in the U.S., why quick fixes and wellness trends are so seductive, and how the wellness industry often adds more noise than clarity. This conversation is an invitation to declutter our health routines, tune back into our own bodies, and make more intentional, grounded choices—without fear, blame, or overwhelm.

SMOGS, DRACULAS, AND THE SHOP'S RESIDENT GHOST Colleague Oliver Darkshire. Oliver categorizes customers, such as "Smogs" seeking treasures and "Draculas" obsessed with specific themes. He discusses book runners, discovering moldy copies of Edwin Drood, and surviving government apprenticeship inspections. Additionally, he recounts shadowing thieves and the shop's ghost, a former owner killed by a tram. NUMBER 3 1890

The Best Gifts We've all experienced the joy of giving a "perfect" gift—the kind that makes the recipient light up and creates a memory that lasts a lifetime. But this Christmas, we're looking past the wrapping paper to the gifts that truly define the season.In this message, we explore the powerful offerings made by the people at the very center of the first Christmas story. From Joseph's quiet obedience to the Magi's kingly treasures, each gift teaches us something profound about what it means to follow Jesus today.What Are You Giving This Year? We often focus on what we want to receive, but the Christmas story invites us to consider what we are offering to God. Are we keeping our "treasures" guarded, or are we opening them up to the King?In this sermon, we look at six specific gifts:1. The Gift of Joseph – Obedience: Doing what God commands, even when it's difficult or doesn't make sense.2. The Gift of Mary – Available Servanthood: Giving ourselves up to God's will, regardless of our age or status.3. The Gift of the Magi – Our Best: Opening our "treasure boxes" and offering the most valuable parts of our lives.4. The Gift of the Shepherds – Watchful Worship: Being intentional and proactive in our reverence for God.5. The Gift of the Angels – Good News: Sharing the Gospel that brings great joy to all people.6. The Gift of God – Jesus: The "indescribable gift" of salvation and "God with us."> "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." — Ephesians 2:8-9---Key Scripture Passages:Matthew 1:18-24 (Joseph's Obedience)Luke 1:26-38 (Mary's Servanthood)Matthew 2:1-12 (The Magi's Treasures)Luke 2:8-15 (The Shepherds and Angels)2 Corinthians 9:15 (The Indescribable Gift)#Christmas2025 #TheBestGifts #Sermon #Jesus #Advent #ChristianLiving #Gospel #BibleStudy

In this concluding episode of the Five Blasphemies series, Barb Ernster and Katie Moran reflect on the fifth blasphemy against the Immaculate Heart of Mary—those who insult, mock, or desecrate Mary through her sacred images. They explore the history of iconoclasm, tracing it back to the 7th and 8th centuries, and explain how the Church affirmed the rightful place of sacred images at the Second Council of Nicaea in 787.   Barb and Katie also discuss the beauty and purpose of Catholic sacred art, and how images of Mary are meant to lift our hearts and minds to God, not replace worship. They address modern sources of hostility toward Marian images, including godless ideologies and movements that echo this ancient heresy.   To close the series, listeners are encouraged to take part in the First Saturday Virtual Pilgrimage, using the First Saturday Passport and Treasures of the First Saturday Devotion as guides for prayer, reparation, and deeper devotion to the Immaculate Heart.

 #856 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/856 Presented By: FishHound Expeditions, Togiak River Lodge, Pescador on the Fly Sponsors: https://wetflyswing.com/sponsors Steve Woit has spent years hunting down the stories behind fly-fishing's most influential figures — including Mary Orvis Marbury, whose Victorian-era writing documented flies and tiers before the modern industry existed. In this episode, Steve walks us through the research discipline behind Fly Fishing Treasures, his deep dive into letters, catalogs, photographs, and tackle provenance that reveal how anglers built a culture long before we arrived. This conversation isn't about nostalgia — it's about protecting memory. Steve shows how writing, archiving, and conservation fundraising through donated tackle help safeguard fisheries and preserve the names and innovations that shaped our sport. #856 Show Notes: https://wetflyswing.com/856

December 17, 2025 In this week's podcast, Pastor Mike and Randy discuss how politics is downstream of heart transformation, and why it is important to affirm the Bible's claim of Jesus' virgin birth.

“I don't know if it's time, but what I do know is I know where the road to nowhere goes, and it goes to nowhere. And I want to take the road to somewhere.

Are you actually prepared for an emergency—or just surrounded by emergency clutter? In this episode, I take a clear-eyed look at emergency supplies and why so many of us over-prepare for rare, dramatic scenarios while under-preparing for the things most likely to happen. We unpack how common cognitive biases—like the availability heuristic, denominator neglect, and “dread risk”—shape our fear-based stocking habits and quietly lead to clutter, overwhelm, and false security. I walk through five realistic categories of emergency preparedness: 1. Evacuation 2. Getting trapped at home 3. Obscure emergencies 4. Everyday sickness 5. First aid and explain how to pare each one down so it's usable, accessible, and actually helpful when stress is high. If emergency prep has ever felt overwhelming—or like another excuse to hold onto too much—this episode will help you rethink what safety really looks like!

In this episode, we follow the Annabel Lee legend backward: from modern ghost tours to nineteenth-century poetry, from pirate treasure maps to academic footnotes, from Sullivan's Island beaches to a forgotten corner of a graveyard. What emerges is not a simple ghost story, but an obsession—shared by scholars, storytellers, and an entire city convinced that something precious was buried in the South Carolina Lowcountry and must be found.   Edgar Allan Poe's Charleston by  Christopher Byrd Downey   Synchronicity: An Acausal Connecting Principle By C.G.
