Not everyone experiences faith in the same way. As a matter of fact, some find themselves in a crisis of faith, while others have decided to discard faith altogether... often because of a disconnect between what they were taught and what they have come to know.  But what if doubt and questioning were a good thing? Is that even possible?  Well, according to guests Tony and Charmaine Chvala-Smith, not only is it possible, it is often healthy and helpful as we navigate our spiritual journey.  Grab a cup of your favorite beverage and settle in for part one of a two-part conversation on Faith and Doubt. Listen to other episodes in the Percolating on Faith series. Listen to the episode on Preaching Charts. Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Planting trees is a key strategy in the fight against climate change.  Trees absorb carbon dioxide, regulate temperature, support biodiversity, and improve air and water quality, offering benefits that extend well beyond their boundaries. But according to a new study by researchers from University of California – Riverside, where those trees are planted makes a […]

In this episode of Reading with Your Kids, host Jed Doherty sits down with two remarkable children's authors who prove that storytelling is an art form rooted in family, imagination, and personal experience. Diana Lopez takes listeners into the magical world of her Los Monsteros series, specifically her latest book, "Ava and the Owl Witch." Set in the fictional town of Tres Leches, Texas, the story explores South Texas legends through the eyes of Ava, whose mother is a unique owl witch. Lopez shares her journey from writing realistic fiction to embracing fantasy, inspired by her work on the Disney film "Coco" novelization. Kathleen MacInnis Kichline brings her own enchanting tale, "Terrence McPhee and the Toy Eating Tree," to life. Inspired by a real childhood moment with her grandson, the book captures the universal childhood experience of losing a toy to a tree's mysterious grasp. MacInnis emphasizes the importance of shared storytelling and how books can create lasting bonds between generations. Both authors highlight the magic of children's literature - it's not just about entertainment, but about creating meaningful connections. They discuss their writing processes, from hand-written notebooks to navigating the challenges of series writing and illustration collaboration. The episode is a treasure trove of insights for parents, educators, and aspiring writers. Diana and Kathleen demonstrate how personal experiences can transform into captivating stories that resonate with children and adults alike. Their passion for storytelling shines through, reminding listeners that every lost toy, family legend, and childhood memory has the potential to become a beautiful narrative. Whether you're a parent looking to inspire a love of reading or a storyteller seeking inspiration, this episode offers a delightful journey into the world of children's literature.

Top Stories for September 30th Publish Date: September 30th From The BG AD Group Studio, Welcome to the Gwinnett Daily Post Podcast. Today is Tuesday, September 30th and Happy Birthday to Fran Drescher I’m Peyton Spurlock and here are your top stories presented by KIA Mall of Georgia New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill All of this and more is coming up on the Gwinnett Daily Post podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! Break 1: Kia MOG STORY 1: New Norcross development provides affordable housing for those 55 and up in Gwinnett “As long as I can.” That’s how long Sharon Bryant, a retiree still working part-time, plans to stay in her new apartment at Sage 5430. The complex, which just opened near Beaver Ruin Road and Buford Highway, is a rare find: affordable, spacious, and brand new. Sage 5430 is the result of a four-year public-private effort to address Gwinnett’s growing need for affordable housing. The 70-unit complex serves seniors, homeless youth, and those aging out of foster care, with rents ranging from $1,062 to $1,655—well below market rates. Residents making 50–70% of the area’s median income can also qualify for subsidies. The need is urgent. Gwinnett’s population of seniors has exploded by 55% in the last decade, and more than half of senior renters are considered “cost-burdened,” spending over 30% of their income on housing. But getting here wasn’t easy. John Maddox, VP of development at Blue Ridge Atlantic, described the process as “playing Whack-a-Mole.” Construction costs spiked, interest rates climbed, and funding gaps kept appearing. Eventually, with help from Gwinnett County, the Norcross Housing Authority, and Georgia’s Department of Community Affairs, the project came together. And for Gwinnett, it’s a step forward in tackling a housing crisis that’s pricing out even middle-income families. STORY 2: Duluth’s Railway Museum plans two fall events The Southeastern Railway Museum in Duluth is gearing up for two big fall events, and train lovers of all ages are invited to join the fun. First up: “Train, Trunk or Treat” on Saturday, Oct. 18, starting at 10 a.m. It’s not just trick-or-treating anymore—it’s a full-on fall festival with a classic car show, train rides, a costume contest, live music, and even a scavenger hunt. Families and car owners are encouraged to dress up, and local businesses will be handing out candy from decorated trunks. Then, from Nov. 15 to Jan. 4, the museum’s annual Festival of Trees returns. Santa himself will arrive by train on Nov. 15, with more holiday magic possibly planned for December. The museum, located at 3595 Buford Highway, is also looking for local businesses to sponsor trees or host tables at these events. Interested? Visit train-museum.com or email info@train-museum.com. STORY 3: Park Ridge BTR Townhomes Now Open for Leasing in Sugar Hill Parkland Residential just opened its newest build-to-rent community, Park Ridge, in Sugar Hill—and leasing is officially underway. Curious? You can tour the model homes now and even snag some Grand Opening perks. When complete, Park Ridge will feature 140 rear-entry stacked townhomes. The first 72 are already in progress, with two floor plans to choose from: The Dogwood: 3 beds, 2.5 baths, loft, ~1,950 sq. ft. The Laurel: 2 beds, 2.5 baths, ~1,600 sq. ft. Each home includes a private garage, oversized primary suite, walk-in closet, and covered outdoor space overlooking greenspace—perfect for relaxing or hosting friends. Located across from E.E. Robinson Park and Sugar Hill Elementary, Park Ridge offers a maintenance-free lifestyle with lawn care, pest control, home repairs, and appliances (yes, even washers and dryers) included. Plus, you’re minutes from downtown Sugar Hill, The Bowl, and shopping at Costco, H-Mart, and more. Want to learn more? Visit www.ParkRidgeSugarHill.com. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.874.3200 for more info. We’ll be right back Break 2: CITY OF SUGAR HILL STORY 4: Gwinnett police seeking suspect in fraudulent vehicle purchase Gwinnett Police are asking for help finding 33-year-old Anthony Sherlock, who’s wanted in a fraud case. Here’s what happened: On Sept. 5, Sherlock met with someone to buy a car. He handed over a check—but it turned out to be fake. By the time the bank flagged it as altered, the funds were gone, leaving the seller with a big loss. Sherlock is described as a Black man, about 5’9” and 155 pounds. If you know anything, call detectives at 770-513-5300. Want to stay anonymous? Contact Crime Stoppers at 404-577-TIPS or stopcrimeATL.com. Cash rewards are available. STORY 5: EXPLORING GWINNETT'S HISTORY: Elisha Winn Fair set for Oct. 4-5 The Elisha Winn Fair is back Oct. 4-5, celebrating one of Gwinnett County’s founders and the home where it all began. Elisha Winn built his house in 1811—seven years before Gwinnett even existed. By 1818, it became the county’s first courthouse, hosting elections, court sessions, and government meetings. Winn himself was sworn in as a judge right in his own parlor. Imagine that. But life wasn’t all smooth. Winn lost the home in a messy legal battle over land rights and spent his later years fighting for it. The house changed hands until the Gwinnett Historical Society restored it in 1978. Now, the fair—46 years strong—celebrates this history with the community. Don’t miss it! STORY 6: Police: Daughter charged in murder of 62-year-old woman A 33-year-old woman has been charged with murder after police say she fatally stabbed her 62-year-old mother at their home near the Gwinnett-DeKalb County line. Brittany Morris is accused of killing her mother, Janet Morris, on Thursday afternoon. Officers were called to their home on Deshong Drive around 4:30 p.m. and found Janet’s body—she’d died from apparent stab wounds. Police haven’t said what led to the attack, but Brittany was arrested later that day in another part of Gwinnett. Anyone with information can contact detectives or Crime Stoppers anonymously. STORY 7: BRACK: Lawrenceville's Loving Aid Society working to help in the future A Lawrenceville institution with roots stretching back to 1888 is closing its doors, but its legacy? That’s not going anywhere. The Loving Aid Society, founded by Laura Freeman Gholston and Bob Craig, was created to support Gwinnett’s Black community during a time when money was scarce for everyone. Members paid small monthly dues—just ten cents back then—to cover funeral costs and help the sick. Over the years, it became a cornerstone of self-reliance, hosting annual “Turn Out” gatherings filled with songs, prayers, and shared recipes. Their two-story building on Neal Boulevard once housed a funeral home, a church, and even a daycare. But now, with only three members left—Ruth Summerour, 90, and Glenda and Moses Abney, 74 and 78—the Society has sold its property to the City of Lawrenceville for $497,000. The remaining members are determined to use those funds to keep helping others, ensuring the spirit of the Loving Aid Society lives on. We’ll have closing comments after this.

Stories about wilderness range from life-saving transformations to devastating failures, and often, the loudest voices online lean toward fear and controversy.That's why I'm so excited to be joined by filmmakers Mark Strauss and Vince Dixon, co-directors of the upcoming documentary Forest for the Trees: The Truth About Wilderness Therapy. With lived experience of loss, addiction, and healing in their own families, Mark and Vince share why they felt compelled to create a film that tells the whole story: the good, the bad, and everything in between.As a parent who's walked this road myself, I can't tell you what a relief it is to hear someone say, “Let's look at the whole truth.” Because when you're facing impossible choices for your child, what you need most is understanding, not judgment.In this episode on the truth about wilderness therapy, we discuss:Vince's journey from losing his sister to fentanyl poisoning to creating films that spark healing conversations;Why Mark and Vince believe wilderness therapy is misunderstood and often misrepresented;The importance of showing all sides of wilderness stories: positive, negative, and complicated;How parents' desperation and deep love factor into the decision to seek treatment;Why this documentary is being made now, and how you can get involved in supporting it.Resources mentioned in this episodeYou can learn more about ‘Forst for the Trees' on their website, Instagram or Facebook.Learn more about 'Sometimes I Imagine Your Funeral' on their website, or Instagram.Learn more about Mark's film 'The Funeral Photographer' on their website.Looking for support?

The September 30 edition of the AgNet News Hour mixed lighthearted fair talk with serious updates on California's pistachio industry. Hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill opened the show with reminders to get out and support FFA and 4-H students at the upcoming Fresno Fair, before pivoting to an in-depth conversation with Rich Kreps, pistachio grower, Ultra Gro agronomist, and board chairman for American Pistachio Growers. Kreps reported that despite late-season rains causing isolated losses in Kings and Fresno Counties, California pistachio growers are harvesting one of the best crops in years. Quality is high, volume is strong, and the U.S. industry has already committed over one billion pounds to domestic and international buyers. “Farmers are pretty darn happy,” Kreps said, noting that the only downside is the wait: growers won't see final payments until 14 months after harvest. Price, Kreps explained, depends on processors. While Wonderful's opening price landed below a dollar, other handlers came in higher, and with bonuses and export premiums, many expect final settlements closer to $2 per pound or more. That's welcome news in a year when pistachio quality is strong, even if nut size is slightly smaller due to the large crop. The discussion highlighted why pistachios are a long-term play. Trees can live centuries — there are orchards still producing that were planted in the 1960s — but they take years to become profitable. “It's legalized gambling,” Kreps said. “You better love it, because you're not making money in the first 10 years.” Beyond harvest, Kreps praised the marketing success of American pistachios abroad, including campaigns in India where cricket stars promote the nut as a healthy, high-protein snack. He also stressed the need for California water solutions, saying the state has enough annual runoff to supply five years of use if only it were stored properly. From corndog recalls to trade policy, Nick and Josh kept the conversation lively, but the takeaway for farmers was clear: 2025 is shaping up as a strong year for pistachios, and California's position as the world's leading producer remains secure.

In this episode of “The Valley Today,” host Janet Michael welcomed Jordan Herring, the city of Winchester's Arborist and Grounds Maintenance Manager, for an in-depth conversation about the upcoming Native Plant Festival and the broader mission of cultivating a greener, more sustainable city. As the driving force behind the city's lush parks, vibrant medians, and tree-lined streets, Herring offered listeners a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges and rewards of urban forestry. The discussion began with a nod to the often-overlooked labor that keeps Winchester's public spaces beautiful. Herring, who manages a team of 25 to 30 employees and coordinates with contractors, described the year-round hustle of maintaining 16 parks and thousands of street trees. His dual role as arborist and grounds manager means he's responsible not only for the health of Winchester's urban canopy but also for the careful selection of tree species—ensuring the “right tree right place” to avoid future issues with power lines, soil compaction, and invasive species. A significant portion of the conversation focused on the importance of native plants. Herring explained how native species support local pollinators like bees and butterflies, maintain biodiversity, and require less maintenance than non-native or invasive alternatives. The festival, set for October 4th at Jim Barnett Park, aims to educate the public on these benefits. Attendees can expect to find native plant nurseries, environmental nonprofits, and government agencies offering resources, free tree saplings, and expert advice. The event is designed to be family-friendly, with activities for children and opportunities to explore the park's new wildflower meadow—a project spearheaded by the late sustainability advocate Sari Carp. Janet and Jordan also addressed the pitfalls of popular but problematic trees like the Bradford Pear, which, despite their initial beauty, pose risks due to weak branching and invasive tendencies. Herring emphasized the city's commitment to replacing such species with more suitable, native alternatives and highlighted Winchester's designations as both a Tree City USA and a Bee City USA—testaments to its ongoing investment in urban ecology. The conversation wrapped up with practical advice for homeowners: do a little research before planting, consider the needs of pollinators, and take advantage of the wealth of local resources, from the Virginia Department of Forestry to the city's own Parks and Recreation Department. The Native Plant Festival, with its free admission and welcoming atmosphere, stands as a celebration of community, education, and the shared responsibility of nurturing the natural world right in our own backyards.

Enough is enough! We can hesitate. We can procrastinate. We can make excuses. The reality is, like Jesus' first disciples, we have what we need to get the job done. You know... the one we committed to when we became disciples ourselves. Join hosts Karin Peter and Blake Smith for a look at today's passage from the Gospel of Luke. See if you look at the scripture from a more pastoral perspective or from a more, dare we say, realistic perspective. Could it be that sometimes Jesus just wants to knock some sense into us? Listen to more Coffee to Go episodes.  Download TranscriptThanks for listening to Faith Unfiltered!Follow us on Facebook and Instagram!Intro and Outro music used with permission: “For Everyone Born,” Community of Christ Sings #285.

Nearly 700 volunteers, including some from as far away as Japan, descended on the Appalachian Trail in the past year in an unprecedented effort to recover a landscape forever scarred by Hurricane Helene. The storm in September 2024 shut down 431 miles of the AT. Trees were snapped in half, piled in what looked like a bizarre game of pickup sticks. Landslides and flooding tore away trails and treadway. Bridges and crossovers were gone. It was — and still is — a disaster of historic proportions. But it's also a story of resiliency of the land and the people who are stewards of it. This week the Traveler's Jan Childs talks with two of the famous trail's stewards: Joe Morris, project coordinator for Tennessee Eastman Hiking and Canoeing Club, and Franklin Tate, regional director for the Appalachian Trail Conservancy, which by the way is celebrating its 100th anniversary this year.

This week's cycles invite you to find your voice in the tension between self and other, and to alchemize old wounds of belonging into courageous self-expression under the light of the Full Moon.Wednesday, October 1 – Mercury in Libra squares Jupiter in CancerThe Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra, sign of balance and relational harmony, encounters tension with the Teacher (Jupiter) in Cancer, the sign of belonging, lineage, and emotional roots. This square can amplify conversations about fairness, truth, and belonging—sometimes exaggerating perspectives or inflating the desire to be “right.” There's an invitation to expand your vision while also listening carefully to others' truths, especially when your own need for belonging gets stirred. Miscommunication may highlight old emotional patterns that are ready to grow into greater wisdom. Reflection Question: Where are my words or thoughts asking for expansion beyond old family or belonging stories, and how can I hold space for multiple truths without losing my own voice?Friday, October 3 – Mercury in Libra opposes Chiron in AriesHere the Storyteller (Mercury) in Libra directly faces the Wounded Healer (Chiron) in Aries. This can spotlight core wounds around self-expression—feeling unheard, unseen, or dismissed—and how these wounds play out in relationships. Conversations may carry a sharp edge, not because they are wrong, but because they touch a tender place of vulnerability. The medicine is in noticing how old wounds of self-assertion or self-worth shape current dialogues, and how to bring compassion and balance into the exchange. Healing can come by learning to speak your truth gently, without abandoning yourself.Reflection Question: What tender wound in me is asking for compassionate communication, and how can I honor both my voice and the voices of others in this dialogue?Looking Ahead to Next Week– Full Moon at 14° Aries (Oct 6)The week builds toward a powerful Full Moon in Aries on Monday, Oct 6. This lunation illuminates the central polarity of the week: Libra's call for harmony and connection versus Aries' call for courage and authentic selfhood. The Moon in Aries shines on your need for bold self-expression, while the Libra Sun reminds you of the beauty of reciprocity and balance in relationship. Expect heightened emotions and the potential for breakthroughs—especially where old wounds around speaking up, being heard, or claiming your space in relationships are ready to shift.This upcoming Full Moon acts as the alchemical climax of the week: all the Mercury conversations with Jupiter and Chiron prepare the ground for a liberating moment of truth under this Aries–Libra illumination.Reflection Question: What truth of my own selfhood is ready to be spoken and witnessed under the light of the Full Moon?Podcast Poem: The Forest for the Trees by Rena PriestSupport the showGo to Sheila's website for information for transformational resources: https://www.ontheedgesofchange.com/home-page This episode was co-created with generative AI, engaged as a soul-aligned ally in service of transformation.

This month we are delighted to be joined by Markus Kröger, professor of Global Development Studies at University of Helsinki. Markus has joined the show before as a founder of the EXALT Initiative and as a PI in the Trees for Development project. This time Markus is here to talk to us about his new book from University of Cambridge Press, Clearcut: Political Economies of Deforestation. This open access book will be published open access in October 2025. Markus gives us a sneak peek into the key topics of the book, primarily the mechanisms of regionally dominant political economies (RDPE) and the role they play in driving extractive sectors. To make this novel theorization, Markus looked at cattle capitalism in Brazil, narco-gold in the Amazon, and paper pulping in Finland. Markus shows how these three different RDPEs drive deforestation in their respective locations.  Interested in reading Clearcut? https://www.cambridge.org/fi/universitypress/subjects/earth-and-environmental-science/environmental-policy-economics-and-law/clearcut-political-economies-deforestation?format=HB&isbn=9781009389549  Interested in learning more about Markus' work? https://researchportal.helsinki.fi/en/persons/markus-kr%C3%B6ger  Interest in the Trees For Development Project? https://www.helsinki.fi/en/researchgroups/trees-for-development

SHOW NOTES: This is the Money Pit! Fall is officially here, and we've got a lot of exciting projects to tackle today, both indoors and out. Give us a call with your questions at 888-MONEYPIT, but first, here are the home improvement topics we'll be sharing in this show: - Preparing Your Trees for Winter: Fall is the perfect time to prep your trees before winter rolls in. We'll share the best ways to trim, tidy up, or even take down a troubled tree. - Tapping into Home Equity: Many longtime homeowners are sitting on a gold mine of equity, sometimes totaling six figures of untapped value. We'll break down how to put that equity to good use, whether through a refinance, a home equity line of credit to fund renovations, or by strategically downsizing. - Hottest Fall 2025 Design Trends: If you want to give your home a fresh fall feel without a full-blown renovation, we're breaking down the hottest Pinterest design trends. - Seasonal Home Safety and Efficiency: As we head into the heating season, we offer quick tips to keep you safe all winter long.   Q & A: - Beth in Pennsylvania shared a story about a home fire where the insurance-recommended contractor ruined her home and took materials she paid for. We advise her that since the theft of materials is a criminal matter, she should file a theft complaint with her local police department! - Randall in West Virginia has a half-underground basement that felt damp after flooding, and he asked if he needed to vent the space. We explain that venting is not needed for a full basement, and the dampness is likely a drainage issue that can be solved by cleaning gutters, extending downspouts, and installing a heavy-duty dehumidifier. - Linda in Tennessee noticed black particles coming out of the water in her toilets and bathroom sink in her 100-year-old rental home. The solution is twofold: installing a whole-house water filter after the main supply and cleaning the aerators at the base of the faucets, where black particles may be trapped. - Jerry in Vermont said his furnace serviceman recommended switching from his old oil system to a heat pump due to discounts, but Jerry worried whether heat pumps could handle cold Vermont winters. We confirm that modern heat pumps are very efficient and suitable for cold climates, but he must weigh the full costs of the new system, permanently abandoning the old oil tank, and leak testing before making the investment. - Rich in Florida wants to know how to break up his concrete slab foundation floor to install a safe inside a closet. We advise against cutting the slab, suggesting instead that he secure the safe by bolting it directly onto the concrete. - Lori (via email) asked for an inexpensive band-aid fix for a rotting wood window frame in her tub surround before a planned tear-out next year. We suggest scraping out the rotted wood and filling it with a wood replacement compound.   ASK A QUESTION: Do you have a home improvement or decor question?
