In this week's Summer Short, we tackle a question that comes up more often than people realize after infidelity: What do we do with the things that now carry painful memories? Wedding rings, anniversaries, favorite restaurants, vacation spots, and even everyday places can suddenly feel connected to some of the hardest moments in a marriage. We share our thoughts on whether couples should keep their original wedding rings as a symbol of a covenant that was broken and restored, or whether there are times when a new ring can represent a fresh chapter in the story. We also talk about anniversaries and how those dates can move from reminders of pain to reminders of God's faithfulness and redemption. Along the way, we discuss the idea of replacing painful memories with new ones and the importance of communicating openly about triggers, expectations, and what each spouse needs during the healing process. If you've ever wondered how to reclaim the places, traditions, and symbols that seem to have been stolen by betrayal, we hope this conversation will encourage you. Our belief is simple: the affair doesn't get the final word. Through God's grace, even the things that feel tainted today can become reminders of redemption tomorrow.

Portland's Business Struggles and Las Vegas's SCHEDULE JBS 6-19-2026.1900 LAGrowth. Guest: Jeff Bliss. High taxes and progressive policies in Portland are driving a corporate exodus, including Under Armour, as business districts empty. Conversely, Las Vegas is thriving, highlighted by the opening of a massive four-story In-N-Out on the Strip. The segment also covers California's proposed wealth tax and calls to nationalize AI. 1Ethics Investigations into the Newsom Administration. Guest: Jeff Bliss. Governor Gavin Newsom and his wife, Jennifer Siebel Newsom, face investigations regarding millions in "behested payments" from entities like PG&E to her media company. While Newsom dismisses the probe as political weaponization, critics suggest these payments indicate potential undue influence and significant ethical scandals within the administration. 2Critique of Middle East Ceasefire Strategy. Guest: Richard Epstein. Epstein argues that recurring ceasefire declarations are merely strategic devices for rearmament rather than genuine steps toward peace. He criticizes current negotiation styles for alienating allies and failing to pursue the unconditional surrender of adversaries, which he believes is the only stable solution for regional security. 3Supreme Court Rulings on Gun Rights and Drug Use. Guest: Richard Epstein. In a unanimous decision, the Supreme Court ruled that marijuana use alone does not justify the categorical stripping of a citizen's Second Amendment rights. Epstein critiques the court's narrow reliance on originalism, suggesting a "police power" analysis should instead determine if a person poses an immediate physical threat. 4Economic Resilience in D.C. and Lancaster County. Guest: Jim McTague. A drop in gasoline prices has boosted consumer spending at retail stores and supermarkets. While D.C. remains popular with tourists, employers are struggling to find workers with specialized technical skills. Meanwhile, the housing market remains robust at the high end despite higher interest rates. 5Italian Defense Pressures and the Summer Heatwave. Guest: Lorenzo Fiori. Italy's government is balancing NATO's demands for increased military spending against rising energy costs. Simultaneously, a record-breaking heatwave reaching 104°F in Milan is straining public resources, prompting Fiori to recommend the cooler Garfagnana region for its fresh environment and traditional bean and cabbage soup. 6SpaceX's Aggressive Launch Schedule and Innovation. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. Gwynne Shotwell indicates that SpaceX's Starship may begin operational flights and orbital refueling tests by year's end. The company is also demolishing older facilities at Vandenberg for new launchpads, while private startups advance 3D-printed rockets and orbital satellite rescue missions to assist aging telescopes. 7Mars Discoveries and Cosmological Mysteries. Guest: Bob Zimmerman. The discovery of galaxies devoid of dark matter is challenging fundamental astronomical theories. On Mars, the Curiosity rover has reached smooth ground after five years of rocky terrain. Additionally, orbiters have detected multiple dust devils and potential frost and ice in the planet's equatorial regions during winter. 8Literary Giants of the New England Renaissance. Guest: Bruce Nichols. This segment explores the intense relationship between Hawthorne and Melville, who dedicated Moby Dick to Hawthorne. While Ralph Waldo Emersonoften criticized their dark worldviews, these authors, alongside Walt Whitman and Margaret Fuller, were instrumental in inventing a uniquely original and enduring American literary voice. 9Thoreau's Performative Solitude at Walden Pond. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Henry David Thoreau built his famous cabin on land owned by Ralph Waldo Emerson. Contrary to his image as a total hermit, Thoreau was quite social, often walking into town for fresh-cooked meals and laundry. He eventually spent years refining his journals into the masterpiece Walden. 10The Struggles and Triumphs of Louisa May Alcott. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Louisa May Alcott supported her family because her father, Bronson Alcott, failed to earn a consistent living. She served as a Civil War nurse, dealing with horrific casualties before contracting a severe illness she attributed to mercury poisoning. Her 1868 novel Little Womenfinally resolved the family's debts. 11The Literary Legacy and Final Days of the Alcotts. Guest: Bruce Nichols. Following the success of Little Women, Alcott resisted fan demands for her protagonist to marry Laurie, choosing an independent path. As the circle aged, both Emerson and Bronson Alcott suffered significant cognitive decline, with Louisa providing essential financial and personal support until her death in 1888. 12Diplomatic Strains and Escalation Risks in Ukraine. Guest: Anatol Lieven. European leaders are divided over initiating direct negotiations with Russia as the war remains stuck on the ground. While some advocate for offering Putina "golden bridge" to claim a symbolic victory, others argue for continued pressure, despite the constant risks of accidental or nuclear escalation. 13The Rise of Andy Burnham in UK Politics. Guest: Anatol Lieven. Greater Manchester Mayor Andy Burnham is emerging as a formidable potential successor to Prime Minister Keir Starmer. Though Burnham enjoys strong regional support, he faces daunting national issues, including the funding crisis in the NHS and Britain's inability to borrow like the United States. 14A Vision for Governance Reform in Canada. Guest: Conrad Black. Biographer Conrad Black and billionaire Stephen Jarislowsky have proposed recommendations to streamline Canadian governance by reducing duplicated bureaucracy. They argue that Canada's public service is top-heavy and that lowering corporate and personal taxes is essential for maintaining economic growth and competitiveness with the United States. 15CISA's Mission to Protect Critical Infrastructure. Guest: Francis Rose. Acting Director Nick Anderson explains CISA's role as a vital clearinghouse for cyber threat information across federal and private sectors. Since 85% of critical infrastructure is privately owned, CISA focuses on information exchange to prevent bad actors from moving laterally to disrupt water or power supplies. 16

Shakira Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Shakira's week has been a mix of hard business moves, high-glam tour moments, and the kind of personal-life intrigue that keeps her firmly in the cultural bloodstream. On the business and career front, the most biographically significant thread is the continuing rollout of her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour across the United States. Swarovski's official channels highlighted how she opened the U.S. leg of the tour literally shining in custom crystal looks, underlining how Shakira is curating this era as a major visual and branding statement, not just a run of shows. Swarovski's post also noted that her creative team is blending her signature Latin rhythms with a modern, dynamic twist inspired in part by Beyoncé's large-scale pop spectacle, a clear sign that Shakira is positioning herself in the lineage of global stadium icons rather than just Latin crossover stars. Social media from fans and collaborators in Los Angeles over the past few days shows two sold-out nights at the new Intuit Dome, with industry insiders on Instagram describing the shows as “a night was had in LA” and emphasizing the scale and precision of the production, including a standout “Zootopia”-style staging moment that's quickly becoming one of this tour's calling cards. TikTok clips from The Desert Sun's account show her pausing mid-set at a recent Acrisure Arena concert to thank fans and celebrate how long they've been with her, reinforcing that this phase of her career is about legacy building as much as promotion. Family and image-wise, Getty-linked coverage shared on Instagram and parenting feeds has leaned into the idea of Shakira's new “World Cup mom era,” portraying her as “global star second, mom first,” and noting how her sons are increasingly visible around the tour, turning life on the road into a family affair and feeding into the long-term narrative of Shakira as devoted mother balancing superstardom. On the gossip side, Entertainment Tonight and similar outlets have been fanning fresh dating rumors after she was spotted at the Sunset Tower Hotel valet with “Lincoln Lawyer” actor Manuel Garcia-Rulfo. Those reports describe them waiting together in West Hollywood and label it a possible new romance; however, there is no confirmation from Shakira or her team, so this remains speculation rather than verified relationship news. Finally, in the broader media ecosystem, social-intelligence tracking around the 2026 World Cup and music news continues to list Shakira among the most-mentioned artists online, a reminder that every tour stop, outfit, and rumored date right now is feeding into a long-term narrative of post-breakup reinvention and sustained global dominance.

It was another short oval master class from Josef Newgarden this past weekend in St. Louis. But not before attrition, rain and failed strategies. Conor Daly is back on Speed Street this week to discuss the action from Gateway. He joins producer Bobby to breakdown the wild start, Ganassi racing taking a gamble on the rain and the ferocious battle between Josef, Marcus Ericsson and Christian Rasmussen. Race winner Josef Newgarden joins the show to recap his day and how he was able to race to the front at the end to secure his second victory of the season. He explains that Marcus Ericsson led the way for most of the race, but his Team Penske 2-crew helped get him track position in the last stint. The guys also talk about Josef's battle with Christian Rasmussen, his crash during the Indianapolis 500 and racing injured. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're taught that if we put in the work and the talent is there, the opportunities will come. Ashley is here to tell us about the other half of that equation — the one most people aren't honest enough to name.This week, Aisha sits down with her dear friend, sorority sister, and Howard alum Ashley Blaine Featherson-Jenkins—actress (Dear White People), former host of OWN's Trials to Triumphs, and soon-to-be author—for an honest conversation about access, the doors that opened her career, and why she's so committed to opening those same doors for the women coming behind her.Ashley is clear: the work matters. Her talent is what's allowed her to play the long game and sustain a career that lasts. But she also names something most successful people won't: that there's a locked door between most talented people and the careers they're capable of building—and that door doesn't open without someone on the other side knowing your name. They get into the friendship that landed her the Dear White People role, the Instagram Live moment that turned into her OWN podcast, the intensity of mothering her 20-month-old daughter Aspen, her IVF journey and why visibility matters for Black women navigating the same path, and the 365-devotional book she's quietly writing for the woman who wants to spot her blessings and become her best self.If you've been doing the work and wondering why the opportunities haven't come yet, this is the conversation for you.

Clarice Hogberg Friday Market – Limpoko Dr. Titus Johnson – Sweden Dr. Titus Johnson – Order of the Leopard Ceremony Memory Bench – Elizabeth Hope Carlson Village / Canoe – Limpoko This is the 6th episode in this 7 part series about the mission work of the Evangelical Free Church in the Belgian Congo. The work started in 1920 with Titus Johnson being the visionary and initial driver of establishing the work. Episode 1-5 discussed the difficult journey to get to the Ubangi region in NW Congo and the long process to establish the first 3 stations. From there, every ten years or so, several more stations were expanded into. But the cost of the loss of life was significant, with many adults and children succumbing to sickness or disease, as medical care was minimal initially. Then in the early 1970's, the government restricted the mission efforts, the local church wanted more control. In this episode, covering 1973 to 1997, we discuss continued governmental restrictions placed on the mission. A university level seminary was established, the Ngbaka Bible translation of the New Testament was completed, and Zongo was established as a mission station. Work then spread to the water people who lived in the swamps south of Tandala. Two evacuations occur during this time period. You will hear about the passing of Clarice Hogberg in 1973 and Dr. Titus Johnson, the founder of our mission dying in 1974.  Another infant dies and a career missionary also passes away. I extend special thanks to Dr. Maynard Hogberg for sharing about the loss of his sister, Clarice. Also Mary Ann Ahlgren who was at Clarice's bedside during her last hours. Dan and Karen Carlson share about losing their daughter, Elizabeth Hope. Thanks too for Jim Aiken and Dave and Patsy Alfors for sharing details about Zongo and Limpoko, respectively. David Oldberg recites from his father's Master's thesis. Also thank those that provided voice-overs for this episode. **Rated in 2026 to the TOP 25 Best “Life Stories” Themed Podcasts Worldwide – https://blog.feedspot.com/life_stories_podcasts/

AI is everywhere right now — tools, pilots, prompts, experiments, and plenty of pressure to prove the business is “doing AI.” But AI activity should never be confused with AI readiness.In the first miniseries episode of The Reality of AI Readiness, Doug Longenecker and Jamie Jurgaitis break down the important differences between organizations looking active with AI and being genuinely prepared to create value with it. They discuss why leadership teams may be rewarding the wrong behaviors, how AI experimentation can become fragmented without clear business priorities, and why trusted data, governance, workflow clarity, human judgment, and meaningful measurement matter before companies scale AI across the business.Because the real question about AI adoption and integration is how is AI making the business stronger.Episode takeaway: AI activity is easy to start. AI readiness is harder to fake.

Join us on The Founder Spirit podcast with Michael Clark, a visionary strategist and author of Our Moment, who reveals the deep, philosophical questions we must ask about the future of human intelligence, purpose, and technology.  His book follows the journey of a boy chasing a dream chasing a dream—one who confronts the future we are all collectively building and discovers that the most transformative technology is not artificial intelligence, but human potential. Michael challenges the status quo by inviting us to imagine a future where humanity remains at the center—one in which humans and machines collaborate as partners to amplify human potential rather than compete for dominance.Michael shares how childhood struggles, intense discipline, and a crucible moment facing adrenal fatigue transformed his outlook and taught him what it means to be human. In a world racing toward automation and AI dominance, this isn't just a story of resilience—it's a roadmap for understanding what makes us uniquely human in an age where knowledge is owned by machines and wisdom is the real treasure.How did Michael, a university drop-out, become a pioneering systems thinker and designer in the Intelligent Age?

Karawa station Dr. Paul Carlson Funeral Cessna 185 – 9Q-CMU This is the 5th episode in this 7 part series about the mission work of the Evangelical Free Church in the Belgian Congo. The work started in 1920 with Titus Johnson being the visionary and initial driver of establishing the work. Episode 1 discussed the difficult journey to get to the Ubangi region in NW Congo and the long process to establish the first 3 stations. Episode 2 saw 3 more stations established. Yet these advancements included missionary adults and children succumbing to the harsh climate and disease. One person died at from a German submarine torpedo in the Atlantic. Episode 3 included 4 more stations established and an infant and 1 adult tragically passing away. The 4th episode entailed 3 more stations set up and 3 more people dying on the field. This episode covers 1963 – 1972, which included a rebellion, evacuation, a coup d'etat and considerable political turmoil.  Dr. Paul Carlson was martyred by the rebels, and that became international news. But from that, a medical foundation was established. Paul Noren shares about Loko and Doug Thorpe elaborates on Karawa.  Also, an airplane was secured, which eased traveling considerably.There was a 50 year celebration commemorating Dr. Titus Johnson's initial efforts in establishing the mission work. But the transition from the missionary oversight of the church to the Congolese was fraught with disagreements and friction, as well as governmental intervention, nationalization and other changes. Thanks too for Craig and Marv Wickstrom's insights regarding this difficult time period.   I extend special thanks to Lois Carlson Bridges for sharing about the loss of her husband. Also thanks to those that provided voice-overs for this episode. **Rated in 2026 to the TOP 25 Best “Life Stories” Themed Podcasts Worldwide – https://blog.feedspot.com/life_stories_podcasts/

In this episode of the Dyslexia Explored Podcast, hosts Darius Namdaran and Jo Lee speak with Ellie Barbour, a candlemaker and content creator who recently left her job as a high school PE teacher to pursue her business full time. Ellie shares being identified as dyslexic in primary school, receiving a formal diagnosis in later primary, and the impact of confidence, stigma, and support such as Touch Type Read and Spell. She describes a difficult first year of high school with missed support, followed by a pivotal move to Morrison's Academy where small classes, learning support, and mind mapping transformed her study strategies, including using a scribe in exams. The conversation explores dyslexia strengths, teaching as a role model, possible ADHD, and how her all-in focus helped grow her taper-candle business from a lockdown hobby to markets and beyond.This podcast is sponsored by ivvi.

Look, we made it through the storms — but emotionally? Questionable.This episode of The Rizzuto Show kicks off with the aftermath of some serious Midwest weather chaos, where tornado warnings had everyone glued to their TVs… except the guys, who were outside “checking conditions” like it's a competitive sport. We break down the storm hype vs. reality, give some love to local weather legend Steve Templeton, and question why every dad in America thinks he's a certified meteorologist.From there, things spiral (shocking, we know). We get into a wild story involving a tourist, a snake show, and a decision that absolutely should not have been made. Let's just say… if someone offers to let a cobra crawl up your pants, the answer is ALWAYS no. Meanwhile, Riz brings in a mix of headlines that somehow include airport disasters, tick infestations, and a Disney hotel bedbug lawsuit that will have you rethinking every vacation you've ever taken.And then… Vegas enters the chat. The crew reacts to the “Love Cloud” experience — yes, that's exactly what it sounds like — where couples attempt to join the Mile High Club in a tiny plane with a curtain and a pilot who definitely hears everything. Is it romantic? Is it horrifying? Is it both? We'll let you decide.Also in this episode: AI-generated nonsense, questionable hotel habits, insect horror stories, and a breakup so intense it involved dynamite. Because nothing says “we're done” like explosives.If you're here for daily humor, ridiculous real-life stories, and a group of people who probably shouldn't be giving advice but do anyway — welcome home. This funny podcast delivers exactly what you didn't know you needed: chaos, sarcasm, and just enough reality to make you feel better about your own life choices.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
