God created trees. He made them for us: for home building, decoration, shade, construction of fences, tables, chairs, sheds, and so much more. Just because pagans might have carved up a tree to make an image of a false god to be worshipped does not mean that we can't use them to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God's "indescribable gift" to us (2 Cor. 9:15).

Merry Christmas again! That's right, it's still the Christmas season. And, in the passage for this episode of Coffee to Go, we find Mary and Joseph on the move... fleeing an oppressive empire for safety's sake. The story for those who remain is gruesome, but such is often the case when those in power will do anything to maintain their power. In this case, we find Herod slaughtering all infants who might fit the description of the rumored “savior.” Rather than fleeing, join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith and show a little kindness to others as an act of resistance to violence in our world.

We're back with another AMA for this liminal, reflective space between Christmas and the New Year—a time when big questions tend to surface. In this episode, Alyson and I respond to a wide range of listener-submitted questions that span the deeply practical, the philosophical, and the cosmic.We start with a sweeping question about what the next 50 years may hold for humanity, exploring themes like consciousness evolution, polarity, technology, AI, sovereignty, and whether progress is actually accelerating—or fragmenting us further. That conversation opens into reflections on free will, self-governance, spiritual maturity, and how discernment becomes essential in an increasingly noisy world.From there, we shift gears into more specific listener curiosities, including how I've experimented with tools like NuCalm, meditation stacking, and sound frequencies—and what to be mindful of when working with altered states or nervous system regulation. We also unpack questions around longevity, quality of life versus lifespan, and why equanimity may be one of the most underrated spiritual skills of our time.As always, the AMA format invites real-time exploration, tangents, humor, and unexpected insights—from road rage and nervous system dysregulation to regenerative agriculture, ethical food choices, and how small daily decisions reflect much larger spiritual principles.Thank you to everyone who submitted questions.

While visiting a Christmas village in Switzerland, Donnie was captivated by a simple yet powerful tradition: trees adorned with handwritten wishes from people of all ages. Inspired, Donnie brought the idea home to Winchester, determined to create a space where her own community could share their hopes, dreams, and even their burdens. This vision blossomed into the Wishing Trees, now a beloved feature of Winchester's Winter Village, thanks to the dedication of Donnie, her daughter Kaleigh Fincham, and their family. Planting Roots in the Community In this episode of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael sits down with Kaleigh and Donnie from The Ivy Chest / The Ivy Room to uncover the story behind the Wishing Trees and the Kinder Village. The conversation reveals how the project quickly grew from a handful of trees to a central part of the town's holiday festivities. With the support of local sponsors like Meadows Farms, which donates the trees, and organizations such as Froggy's Closet, the Wishing Trees have become a collaborative effort that brings together businesses, volunteers, and families. Wishes That Speak from the Heart As the conversation unfolds, listeners hear touching anecdotes about the wishes themselves. Some are lighthearted—children wishing for cookies or dinosaurs—while others are deeply personal, expressing hopes for healing, reconciliation, or simply more time with loved ones. The anonymity of the process, Donnie explains, gives people the freedom to express feelings they might otherwise keep hidden. Reading these wishes, Kaleigh and Janet agree, offers a window into the community's collective soul, fostering empathy and connection among neighbors. A Legacy of Giving Back The Wishing Trees are more than a seasonal attraction; they are a tribute to Donnie's late mother and sister, whose experiences with hardship and resilience inspired the family's commitment to giving back. The Kinder Village, with its children's activities and festive atmosphere, further extends this legacy, ensuring that every family—regardless of means—can experience the magic of the holidays. Despite challenges, including funding and logistics, the family remains steadfast in their mission, relying on sponsors and volunteers rather than city funding to keep the tradition alive. Looking to the Future The trio reflect on the impact of the Wishing Trees and brainstorm ways to expand the project, such as displaying wishes throughout December or creating a video archive of the notes. Their conversation underscores a central message: small acts of kindness and community spirit can transform lives. In Winchester, the Wishing Trees stand as a testament to the power of hope, generosity, and the enduring bonds of family and community.

If you've ever felt ashamed for starting over, or exhausted because you've had to more than once... this episode is for you.I'm talking about what it really means to restart without guilt and why choosing to begin again is often one of the bravest, holiest thing you can do. We look into the story of the woman with the issue of blood in the book of Mark. The way she moved through the crowd in faith, believing that just touching Jesus would be enough. And it was. But it didn't stop there. Jesus turned, stopped everything, and called her “daughter.” He made it clear that He sees and honors bold, faith-filled movement, even in our most fragile seasons.We talk about how there's purpose in every season, even the ones that feel slow or silent. We look at how the fruit of the Spirit isn't instant, it's a process. Just like actual fruit takes time, weather, and change to grow. Trees need winter, spring, summer, and fall. And so do we. Every part of your journey, even the messy re-dos, is producing something beautiful. You're not behind. You're just becoming. And isn't that what we all are doing? As we close out 2025, I hope this reminds you that it's not too late, you're not too far gone, and you're allowed to begin again.

Winter is arriving in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!Will it snow this Christmas? Will Saul ever manage to finally retrieve all his plants from Stonelands? Will Lucy push the John Deere to breaking point this time? Only listening to this final episode of 2025 will answer these burning questions, as we get the ever truly authentic recollections of the professional gardening life. More importantly, though - what do Lucy and Saul think of the predictions for 2026, set by the RHS (luckily, the year of the tomato and the year of the tropicals are both in there).

Maybe you've been told to put your money where your mouth is, but have you ever been told to put your money where your values are? In this What's Brewing episode we take a step away from doing mission to exploring a new way to make mission possible. Blake Smith hosts Karsten Kasmar, founder of Real Hope Advisors, to discuss values-based financial management. Karsten emphasizes that everyone has wealth, not just the financially affluent, and shares his journey from financial instability to helping others align their finances with their values. Karsten encourages listeners to decide who and what they want to be in the world and then find ways, in community, to make it a whole-life reality.

What if Forrest Gump taught a six-year-old how to never worry about money again? In this episode, Jerremy Newsome shares how watching Forrest Gump at age six sparked a question that changed everything: "What does it mean to not have to worry about money?" That question led him to pick blackberries door-to-door, earning $1,500 that his dad matched to buy $3,000 worth of Apple stock in 1995. While those shares would be worth $39 million today, Jerremy sold them in 2000 for $12,000. That early win, and the lesson from selling too soon, ignited a 20-year journey mastering liquid markets. Now Jerremy helps people understand stocks, options, crypto, and other "liquid markets" using what he calls "second grade math" to achieve financial freedom. He shares the story of Jordan, a police officer making $80,000 a year who recently made more in one month trading than his entire monthly salary. But Jerremy's impact goes beyond teaching trading. When he stood up at a Vail event and matched $40,000 in donations for blind and special needs children learning to ski, he didn't just change those kids' lives. He turned a skeptic named Preston Brown into a lifelong friend and business ally. Jerremy reveals how meeting his wife at a Tony Robbins event, connecting with business partner Brittany Turner through Instagram, and operating from abundance instead of scarcity has created a life where impact matters more than income. [00:04:00] The Forrest Gump Moment That Changed Everything At age six, watching Forrest Gump with his dad and brother when Lieutenant Dan "invested in some kind of fruit company" Growing up poor, hearing someone didn't have to worry about money was a huge paradigm shift Asked his dad what investing meant, learned about Apple as a computer company Dad gave every excuse: "I don't have time, I'm not smart enough, I don't have enough money" [00:05:20] Picking Blackberries to Buy Apple Stock Dad said "If you bring me some money, I'll match it dollar for dollar" Jerremy's favorite quote: "It's not your resources, it's your resourcefulness" Picked blackberries, sold them door-to-door for a dollar a bag in summer 1995 Made $1,500, dad borrowed from uncle to match, bought $3,000 of Apple at exact bottom [00:06:00] The $39 Million Lesson Those shares today worth about $39 million Sold them in 2000 for $12,000 when family moved from Georgia to Florida Dad called it "the best investment, the best trade I'd ever make my whole life" Got $12,000 at age 12 and has been studying markets "like a heathen" ever since [00:07:00] From History Teacher Dream to Teaching Financial Freedom Wanted to be history teacher since fourth grade, teacher said "You don't get paid any money" Has blend of entrepreneur spirit and teacher spirit Loves learning unique things and teaching them simply because that's how he learns Teaches "liquid markets": stocks, options, crypto, futures, bonds, gold, silver, commodities [00:08:00] Making Complex Things Simple What motivates him: helping people understand complex subjects and explaining them easily When someone learns something and it clicks, that energizes him more than anything Teaches "second grade math to how to become financially free as quick as possible" If you have access to internet, you have access to income once you have knowledge and tools [00:09:20] Jordan the Police Officer's Transformation Started working with Jordan 7-8 months ago, police officer in Northern California making $80,000/year Jordan said police officers are massively undertrained, don't have equipment/knowledge for wide array of situations Last month Jordan made more trading than his monthly salary Made $12,000 net on $60,000 account (20% return in one month) [00:11:20] From Scarcity to Abundance Jordan paying off debts, taking wife and kids to Disneyland Using money to feel abundant, taste prosperity, be in place of creation versus fear Most people find themselves in scarcity when it comes to money The opportunity to create income exists every single day in the stock market [00:12:20] Giving People Choices and Freedom Jordan now realizes he has choices and options For entrepreneurs doing $500K-$3M, you're in the swamp: making enough to do well but not enough to be free Mindset shift from "I have to work to make money" to "I get to create to attract more value" Making (grinding energy) versus attracting/receiving/creating (different energy) [00:15:40] Two People Who Changed Everything His wife: Met at Tony Robbins UPW event November 4, 2012 in Orlando Brittany Turner: Reached out via Instagram in February 2020 through mutual connection
