TESLA OPENS NEVADA SEMI FACTORY WITH 50,000-A-YEAR PLANTesla has opened its first high-volume Semi factory in Nevada, targeting eventual production of 50,000 electric trucks a year as customers including ZET SCALE and Einride wait for thousands of vehicles. Tesla claims up to 500 miles of range and 98% fleet uptime, but the production ramp, dedicated service network and promised autonomous driving capability are still works in progress.TRUMP OPEN TO CHINESE CAR FACTORIES IN THE USPresident Donald Trump says he would accept Chinese carmakers building vehicles in the US if they employ American workers, potentially offering manufacturers a route around tariffs that effectively exclude direct Chinese imports. US automakers and lawmakers are pushing in the opposite direction, arguing that Chinese manufacturers should be blocked from domestic production as their growing European market share demonstrates the competitive pressure they could bring.EV REGISTRATIONS RISE IN 47 US STATESEV registrations increased in 47 US states during the second quarter of 2026, with electric vehicles reaching 7.9% of national sales, although market share declined year-on-year in several leading EV states including California, Washington and Oregon. Rising petrol prices and continued state support provide favourable conditions for adoption, but the data does not establish what caused either the broader registration growth or the declining shares in those leading markets.EMBER REPORT BACKS HOUSEHOLD ELECTRIFICATIONEmber argues that combining EVs, heat pumps, rooftop solar and home batteries can reduce UK household exposure to volatile fossil-fuel prices as clean electricity increasingly supplies the grid. Adoption of these technologies is accelerating, and Ember estimates rooftop solar can cut annual EV charging costs by more than £500 while batteries allow households to use more of their own generation.INSTAVOLT COMMITS TO CHADEMO AT EVERY UK SITEInstaVolt has committed to keeping at least one CHAdeMO connector at every existing and future UK charging site, protecting access for thousands of older EVs as other operators phase out the standard. The commitment is particularly important for used Nissan Leaf owners, showing how charging networks will need to support legacy vehicles long after manufacturers have moved to CCS.LEPAS PREVIEWS L4 AND L6 ELECTRIC SUVS IN SPAINLepas has previewed its L4 and L6 electric SUVs in Spain, both using 65 kWh LFP batteries with claimed WLTP range of up to 450 kilometres and maximum charging power of 120 kW. The models expand Lepas beyond its existing L8 and indicate a broader European EV and plug-in hybrid range, although the vehicles shown were static and some production specifications remain unconfirmed.EVERYTHING ELECTRIC SYDNEY DRAWS RECORD 37,421 VISITORSEverything Electric Sydney attracted a record 37,421 visitors and more than 5,300 EV test drives, with attendance around 20% higher than the previous Sydney event. Twelve major vehicle launches and a broader range of home-energy technology suggest growing Australian consumer interest not just in electric cars but in combining transport with cleaner household energy generation and storage.

What if the problem in front of you is actually hiding an opportunity you haven't seen yet?I've been thinking a lot about how we see things because the way you see a situation can completely change how you respond to it. We're living in a time where there is so much uncertainty. AI is changing industries, markets are shifting, businesses are adjusting, and it would be really easy to look around and see nothing but problems.But here's what I believe: opportunities almost always come disguised as problems.In this episode of The You Are More Podcast, I'm talking about the story of the twelve spies and something that has been challenging me personally. Twelve people looked at the exact same Promised Land. They saw the same giants, the same obstacles, and the same circumstances. Ten came back convinced they couldn't do it. Two looked at those same giants and said, “We are well able. Let's go possess.”That's the difference perspective can make.Faith doesn't mean pretending the giant isn't there. It means refusing to make the giant bigger than God.I'm also sharing something that happened to me recently when I found myself talking about everything that felt hard—the uphill battles, the weariness, the things that weren't moving the way I wanted them to. Sometimes you need to get those things out, but I also knew I couldn't stay there. If all I rehearse are problems, eventually problems are all I'm going to see.So I had to ask myself: How am I seeing this?Maybe that's the question you need to ask too.When you don't know what to do, ask God for wisdom. When you're sitting in the boardroom and the answers aren't coming, ask Him. When the relationship feels tangled, ask Him. When the circumstances in front of you say there is no way, remember that you carry the divine genius of God on the inside of you.You do not have to figure everything out in your own strength.And when you start questioning whether you can move forward, go back and rehearse your victories. One of my dear friends used to tell me, “Amy, you and God have a good track record.”Maybe you need to remind yourself of your own track record with Him.Remember the door He opened. Remember the provision. Remember the thing you thought would never work out. Remember the season you weren't sure you would survive.Then take another step.When the Israelites were standing at the Red Sea with Pharaoh behind them, mountains around them, and water in front of them, God told them to go forward.Sometimes you don't need to see the entire path. You just need to move.In this episode, I'm also talking about why your perspective affects your words, your emotions, and ultimately your actions; how fear can sometimes disguise itself as wisdom; why timing and seasons matter; what Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego teach us about walking through the fire; and why sometimes you simply need to get your fight back.I think about David standing in front of Goliath. Everyone else saw an impossible problem. David remembered the lion. He remembered the bear. He remembered what God had already brought him through.He had history.And so do you.If you've been weary, uncertain, or beaten down by what's happening around you, I want this episode to help you get your “God's got me” back.God is not caught off guard by what you're facing. He has already gone before you. You don't have to navigate this season alone.So ask yourself:How am I seeing it?Am I only seeing the problem, or am I looking for the possibility?Am I staring at the giant, or am I remembering who is with me?Sometimes the opportunity has been hiding inside the problem the entire time.Keep moving. Keep believing. Keep walking.✨ Join me every Thursday morning at 6:00 AM Central for my 30-minute Zoom Bible study.

Luke 6:12–16 — Choosing the Twelve

This Day in Legal History: The Nuremberg VerdictsOn October 1, 1946, the International Military Tribunal at Nuremberg delivered its sentences on the surviving leaders of Nazi Germany. Of the 22 defendants, 19 were convicted and three were acquitted. Twelve were sentenced to death, three to life imprisonment, and four to prison terms of 10 to 20 years. Hermann Göring killed himself the night before his scheduled execution. Martin Bormann, tried in absentia, was never found to face his sentence. The other death sentences were carried out on October 16.The legal achievement of Nuremberg was the decision to hold a trial at all. The Allies could have simply executed the Nazi leadership; some officials argued for exactly that. Instead, at the urging of figures like U.S. Justice Robert Jackson, who left the Supreme Court to serve as chief prosecutor, they built a court, allowed defense counsel, admitted evidence, and let the outcome turn on proof. The acquittals mattered as much as the convictions: they showed the tribunal was deciding cases, not ratifying a foregone conclusion. Nuremberg also established principles that still anchor international law, most importantly that “following orders” is not a defense to crimes against humanity, and that individuals, not just states, can be held criminally responsible for aggression and atrocities.The significance of October 1, 1946 is the idea in today's opening quote, from Jackson's opening statement: that even when dealing with the worst crimes imaginable, the state submits to legal process rather than acting on raw power. That idea, that the government must work through courts and procedure, especially when it is detaining, removing, or putting people to death, runs through every story we cover today.The Supreme Court has agreed to decide whether the administration can detain millions of immigrants for the entire length of their deportation proceedings without a bond hearing. In July 2025, the Department of Homeland Security issued guidance saying that immigrants who entered the country illegally are subject to mandatory detention with no bond hearing while their cases proceed, a process that can take months or years. The legal fight is about which section of the immigration statute applies. The law has one provision that requires detention for “applicants for admission,” historically understood to mean people arriving at the border. A separate provision governs people already living in the country and generally lets them ask an immigration judge for release on bond. The administration's new position is that anyone who entered without inspection remains an “applicant for admission” no matter how long they've lived here, which would move them into the mandatory-detention category. The case the Court took involves Ricardo Aparecido Barbosa da Cunha, a Brazilian national who authorities say entered illegally two decades ago and applied for asylum in 2016. The Second Circuit ruled against the government. And according to the reporting, appeals judges in nine of the eleven federal circuits to consider the question have concluded that detention without a bond hearing violates federal law. That makes the administration's position an outlier among the lower courts, which is part of why the Supreme Court stepped in. The stakes are very large. A bond hearing doesn't guarantee release; it just means a judge decides whether a person is a flight risk or a danger. If the Court sides with the administration, millions of long-term residents could be held without that individualized review for the length of their cases. The Court will hear it in the term that opens Monday.US Supreme Court to hear clash over Trump's immigration detention policy | Reuters · Yahoo News · National Immigration ForumThe U.S. Court of International Trade heard arguments in a challenge to the President's “forced labor” tariffs, and opponents say the case is a test of whether he can rebuild the tariff power the Supreme Court took away in February. Imposed in late July, the tariffs range from 10% to 12.5% on goods from 60 trading partners, including the European Union and China, and they cover more than 99% of goods imported into the United States. The stated justification is that those countries have failed to stop imports made with forced labor. Four small businesses and 25 Democratic-led states sued, and their three cases were consolidated before a three-judge panel with appointees of Presidents Trump, Obama, and Biden. Their argument is that the trade statute the administration relied on requires country-specific findings of unfair trade practices, reached through a real investigation. In their telling, “forced labor” is a pretext: a label stretched over nearly all imports from 60 countries to recreate the broad, global tariff authority the Supreme Court rejected when it struck down the emergency-powers tariffs. The legal question is how closely courts will examine the factual basis for a statutory trade remedy. If the statute requires findings and the findings are thin or generic, the tariffs are vulnerable. If the court defers to the executive's judgment on trade practices, they likely survive. The panel isn't expected to rule from the bench. This connects directly to my column from last week on building an unwinding mechanism into tariffs from the start. If these tariffs fall too, importers will be back in the refund line, and consumers who paid higher prices will again have no clear way to get that money back.US trade court to weigh challenge to Trump's forced labor tariffs | Reuters · CNBC · Foreign PolicyAnd finally, a story that took a turn no one expected. Tennessee tried to execute Christa Pike on Wednesday night, and the execution failed. Pike was the only woman on Tennessee's death row, convicted of the 1995 torture and murder of 19-year-old Colleen Slemmer, a fellow student at a Knoxville Job Corps program. Pike was 18 at the time of the crime. The legal path to Wednesday night was itself dramatic. On Wednesday morning, a divided panel of the Sixth Circuit granted a short stay to consider her claim that evidence of severe childhood sexual abuse was never adequately considered at sentencing. Tennessee went to the Supreme Court, which vacated the stay Wednesday evening, with Justices Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson dissenting. Officials then administered two doses of the lethal drug, but Pike's heart was still beating, and she was taken to a hospital. Governor Bill Lee has ordered a comprehensive third-party review and said the remaining execution scheduled for this year will not go forward. Now the legal questions are unusual and difficult. The closest Supreme Court precedent is from 1947, Louisiana ex rel. Francis v. Resweber, when the state's electric chair failed to kill Willie Francis and the Court held, 5 to 4, that Louisiana could try again without violating the Eighth Amendment. Modern lethal-injection cases like Baze v. Rees and Bucklew v. Precythe focus on whether a method creates a substantial risk of severe pain, but they don't squarely address what happens after an execution has actually been attempted and failed. Pike's lawyers will almost certainly argue that a second attempt would be cruel and unusual. There are also the issues that were already in the case: her age at the time of the crime, just past the line the Supreme Court drew in Roper v. Simmons barring execution for crimes committed under 18, and the abuse evidence the Sixth Circuit wanted time to examine. Whatever one's view of the death penalty, a failed execution is exactly the kind of event the Eighth Amendment was written to make courts confront, and this case will now test what the Constitution requires when the state's ultimate punishment doesn't work.Tennessee due to execute woman for first time in two centuries | Reuters · NPR · CBS News This is a public episode.

Were more of Jesus' twelve disciples connected than we realize? In Matthew 10:2–4, the Gospel writer does more than list the names of the apostles. He appears to arrange the Twelve in pairs. Peter and Andrew are brothers. James and John are brothers. But what about the other pairings? Were Philip and Bartholomew friends before they followed Jesus? Is Bartholomew the Nathanael described in John's Gospel? Could James son of Alphaeus have been related to Matthew/Levi? Why was Thomas known as "the Twin"? What did Simon's title—"the Cananaean" or "the Zealot"—mean? And why does Matthew preserve Judas Iscariot's betrayal in the very list of apostles? In this episode of the Cold-Case Christianity Podcast, J. Warner Wallace opens Matthew's list like a cold case file. He separates what the Gospel writers explicitly say from what can reasonably be inferred, what remains merely possible, and what later tradition has added. Along the way, he examines the meanings of the apostles' names, their alternate names, their potential relationships, and the remarkable kind of mission community Jesus formed. The Twelve were not a random collection of religious professionals. They included brothers, fishermen, a tax collector, men with politically charged labels, men with duplicate names, men whose stories remain largely hidden, and the disciple who would betray Jesus. What can their relationships—and the mysteries still surrounding them—teach us about Jesus, the Gospels, and the kind of family Christ came to create? Get J.

Did Jesus predict he would return within the lifetime of his first hearers? Some of his sayings seem to say exactly that. Dr. Craig weighs two common answers to this "delay of the parousia" problem, explains why neither satisfies him, and offers his own solution, drawn from a surprising detail in Matthew's account of Jesus sending out the Twelve.

Read OnlineTestifying to the TruthJesus appointed seventy-two other disciples whom he sent ahead of him in pairs to every town and place he intended to visit. He said to them, “The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest. Go on your way; behold, I am sending you like lambs among wolves.”  Luke 10:1–3One of the clearest safeguards for ensuring the authenticity and integrity of Christian duty is that we proclaim the Gospel in communion with others. The Christian disciple is never a lone ranger. We do not carry the mission of Christ by private inspiration or isolated insight, but in the context of the Church. The Gospel we preach is not our own. It originates in God, is handed on through Sacred Tradition, and is entrusted to the Church as a whole.When Jesus sent out the seventy-two disciples, He sent them in pairs. This had deep theological and scriptural significance. According to Mosaic Law, the testimony of two or three witnesses was necessary to establish truth (cf. Deuteronomy 19:15). This standard was well known in Jewish culture and was traditionally applied to legal cases, but Jesus elevated it to strengthen the credibility of evangelization. Two disciples witnessing together to the truth of the Gospel would speak with a kind of moral and spiritual authority that mirrored this ancient tradition. Moreover, when we speak in union with the Church and act in concert with other faithful witnesses, our united work of evangelization becomes a harmonious echo of God's Word rather than a solitary voice subject to distortion.Even our Lord Himself respected this principle. When the Pharisees challenged Jesus for speaking on His own authority, He responded, “Even if I do testify on my own behalf, my testimony can be verified… I testify on my behalf and so does the Father who sent me” (cf. John 8:14, 18). Jesus makes clear that He does not speak in isolation; the Father testifies on His behalf. Thus, even the Son, in His earthly mission, models the humility of cooperative testimony.Consider your own duty to testify to the truth of the Gospel. The Twelve whom Jesus had earlier sent represent the bishops of the Church, who form the foundation of Christ's mission through their participation in apostolic succession. In today's Gospel, the seventy-two represent every disciple of Christ, including each of us today. Discipleship is much more than following Jesus through a personal devotion to Him and His teachings. It also includes being sent by Him. Once we receive the Gospel and interiorize it through living faith and prayer, we will then be sent by Christ to go forth and testify to the truth we have received. This is not an option; it's a necessity.How well do you do this? Sometimes we can fall into the trap of thinking that our faith is something personal that we keep to ourselves. But it is not. It must be shared, and if we are disciples, then we are also evangelists.Being an evangelist does not necessarily mean we enter into a full-time apostolate by which we preach and teach as we travel from town to town. For most, evangelization takes place in the ordinary rhythms of life—in our families, workplaces, neighborhoods, and social settings. It means living our faith with authenticity, speaking the truth with charity, and radiating Christ through our actions as well as our words. It means being willing to witness to the Gospel even when it is uncomfortable, unpopular, or rejected, and doing so in union with others in the faith.Reflect today on whether you are testifying to the truth in the way God is asking of you. Have you embraced both the privilege and the responsibility of being sent? Resolve to go forth with the courage of a lamb in the midst of wolves, never alone, but always in communion with Christ and His Church, bearing witness to the Kingdom that is at hand. Doing so will not only bring blessings to others, it will also deepen your faith and communion with God.My Lord and Living Word, Your voice must go out to the ends of the earth, drawing many to You through the members of Your Mystical Body, the Church. Please draw me close to You, dear Lord, and when I am ready, send me forth with others to testify to the Truth of Your saving Word. Use me as an instrument of Your grace, that through my witness, You may draw many souls into the glory of Your Eternal Kingdom.

Today’s Topics: Gospel – Luke 9:1-6 – Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the Good News and curing diseases everywhere. 1, 2, 3, 4) William Albrecht is guest host as Terry attends the Beatification of Fulton J.

When leaders admit they don't have all the answers, they create room for others to contribute.MOVE Like ThisWith Bonnie Buol RuszczykFor CPA Trendlines ResearchRandy Crabtree founded an accounting firm, then came to a difficult realization: Being its founder didn't make him the right person to lead it. His decision to step aside as managing partner of Tri-Merit opens a bigger conversation about what happens when leaders admit they don't have all the answers.On MOVE Like This, Crabtree joins host Bonnie Buol Ruszczyk to explore how vulnerability can build trust, help people find roles that fit their strengths, and give teams the confidence to try something new. Now retired from Tri-Merit and focused on speaking, advising, and The Unique CPA podcast, he challenges a leadership model that asks people to appear invulnerable while carrying more than they can sustain. MORE MOVE Like This | MORE CPA Trendlines Streaming Network Crabtree's perspective on vulnerability is deeply personal. Twelve years ago, he suffered a stroke. While his physical recovery was relatively quick, the mental recovery took years as he dealt with panic attacks, PTSD, and depression. That experience forced him to acknowledge something leaders are often conditioned to resist: he couldn't do everything himself. It also prompted him to question other things he had long accepted as true about work and leadership, including the idea that leaders always need to have the answers, hide weakness, and prove their value by how much they can carry.That questioning eventually led Crabtree to one of the most difficult decisions of his career.

When many of Jesus' followers turned away because His teaching became difficult, Jesus asked the Twelve, “Do you also want to go away?” Peter responded, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the words of eternal life.” That confession becomes the heart of this message. There comes a point in every believer's journey when Christianity moves beyond simply knowing about Jesus. We come to understand that there truly is nowhere else to go. Our strength, accomplishments, plans, religion, and the things of this world cannot give us what only Christ can provide. Beginning in John 6, Pastor Matthew Robbins examines Jesus as the Bread of Life and the difference between seeing life only through the natural and learning to understand spiritual truth. When some disciples refuse to go further with Jesus, Peter chooses to remain. Mature faith learns to endure even when following Christ becomes difficult. 20251005 - Sunday Morning Servi… The message then moves to John 11 and the death of Lazarus. Martha believed in a future resurrection, but Jesus brought her to something greater: “I am the resurrection and the life.” The resurrection is not merely an event or doctrine—it is inseparably connected to the person of Jesus Christ. That leads to the central claim of the sermon: Jesus is not simply another good or wise religious teacher. He declared Himself to be the Way, the Truth, the Life, and the only way to the Father. He predicted His death and resurrection, gave His life for our sin, and rose from the grave. 20251005 - Sunday Morning Servi… Finally, Philippians 3 brings the message home. Paul counted everything else as loss compared with knowing Christ. Our earthly assignments and seasons will change, but the Christian's lifelong calling remains: To know Him. This message challenges us to stop keeping part of ourselves in reserve, press forward in Christ, and reach the place Peter reached: “Lord, where else can we go?”       Jesus is the only way, Jesus Christ sermon, John 14:6, nowhere else to go, where else can we go, John 6 Bible study, Bread of Life, words of eternal life, resurrection of Jesus, Jesus resurrection sermon, Lazarus resurrection, John 11 sermon, I am the resurrection and the life, Philippians 3, that I may know Him, power of His resurrection, eternal life, Christian sermon, Sunday morning sermon, Gospel message, salvation through Jesus, knowing Christ, Pastor Matthew Robbins, Living Water

Five men have been arrested over a suspected plot to attack a UK air base also used by the US military. Donald Trump said the men had planned to cause significant damage. Since March, the US has been launching attacks against Iran from the base in southern England. Police say they received a call during the night about three suspicious vehicles driving towards the area. Counter terrorism police are reportedly investigating whether Iran is linked to the incident.

Twelve years ago, George drove six and a half hours to volunteer inside a maximum security prison in the California desert.He walked in stressed about a business problem. He walked out standing on a blue line alongside a man serving a life sentence: a man with nearly the same story, just different circumstances.That day broke something open. This episode is the implementation guide for it.This is the follow-up to Episode 736 with Lucy Cullen. George pulls three distinct frameworks from that conversation and turns them into a practical guide: how to predecide your identity before bias hits, how to use your why as a filter for good opportunities, and what unconditional positive regard actually costs when you skip it.What You'll Learn In This Episode:Why you have to decide who you are before the room does, not inside itHow to navigate bias without just developing a thick skinThe decision filter: using your why to evaluate opportunities, not just threatsWhat unconditional positive regard actually is and why it starts before you meet anyoneThe blue line exercise from the prison program and what it revealedThree scripture passages that anchor all three frameworksKey Takeaways:✔️If you do not decide who you are in advance, the next room, person, or meeting will decide for you. Then you spend the rest of that interaction reacting to a judgment made in three seconds.✔️Pre-deciding identity is not about confidence. Confidence wavers. Identity is the thing you return to when confidence is gone.✔️Your why is not only a filter for threats. It is also a filter for good opportunities that are not right for you right now. Chasing the aligned but untimely thing still costs you the thing that actually matters.✔️Name the bias before it hits. Decide what you will tolerate, what your boundary is, and exactly what you will do if that situation arises. Then you are executing a pre-made decision, not improvising under pressure.✔️Unconditional positive regard is not agreement and not excusing harm. It is a decision you make before you ever meet someone. You decide that everyone is doing the best they can with what they have, as a default, in advance.✔️The practice is hardest with the small stuff. Grace for the person who cut you off in traffic is the actual rep.✔️One decision made three times: who you are before the world decides, what matters before the good opportunity decides, and how you will see others before their worst moment decides.Timestamps & Highlights:[00:00] — The prison, the blue line, and the man with the same story[01:42] — What Lucy taught George about being underestimated on repeat[06:00] — Part 1: Predecide your identity before bias hits[12:00] — Why this is not about confidence[15:00] — How to install it: name the obstacle before it arrives[20:00] — Part 2: Your why as a decision filter for good opportunities[25:00] — The blue line exercise and what it revealed[28:00] — Part 3: Unconditional positive regard[32:00] — You do not decide in the room.

June 6th, 2000. Track six on "Music @ Work" opens on tabla, and the album credits name the player as Mr. Hussein. That's the whole credit.'The Bastard' sits between 'Stay' and 'The Completists' on the record The Tragically Hip made with Steve Berlin and Mark Vreeken, the one that took the 2001 Juno for Best Rock Album. It was never a single, and Chris from Seattle has a theory about why. It finished 119th of 169 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, and Hipbase and setlist.fm log it live just fourteen times (submitted set lists only, so the real number runs higher). Then the live poll in the Facebook group came back 36 percent love it, 46 percent like it, and 13 percent tolerate it, one of the highest tolerate numbers the show has seen.The panel spins a 2000 recording out of Cleveland, Gord singing his heart out, and Chris hears Godzilla in the rhythm section. Then the lyric sheet comes out. Crepuscular rays. Winged elephants. Purple Italians. A fire-and-brimstone preacher shouting about Philadelphia. One panelist thinks he's cracked it after twenty-six years of not reading the words. Another thinks Gord just liked how they sounded. Nobody's sure Gord would side with either of them.Underneath all of it sits a record the band never quite got behind. Steve came in calling "Music @ Work" his least favourite record by The Hip and walked out rediscovering it. Chris has it in his top five and has defended it on this show more than once. And jD once asked Johnny Fay about a "Music @ Work" box set. His reaction is in here, and so is Greg's reaction to his reaction.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• The icebreaker. One song by The Hip each they never got to hear live, and a pair of Calgary tickets from 2009 that Steve sold and still thinks about.• September 23rd in The Hip Handbook. A busy date, and two of the shows on it have somebody on this panel attached.• Steve's first time seeing The Hip was at a zoo. Yes, a zoo. Gord took the setting to heart.• "If this song was a car it would be a V8 with a manual transmission." Chris from Seattle, and he has the downshifts mapped.• Billy Sunday. Chris has a theory about Philadelphia, and Steve adds a layer from the ballpark.• Pell-mell, augurs, and augers (the ice fishing kind, per the chat). Greg's read on what's about to blow.• Steve hears another song of theirs hiding in this one, and it's one he doesn't care for at all.• Search for this song on YouTube and you might land on a Replacements cover at First Avenue instead. Steve did.• Next week the wheel lands on 'Radio Show,' from the "Fully Completely" sessions, the one that stayed in the vault until the 2014 deluxe reissue.THE PANEL• Chris from Seattle. Back again, and the loudest defender of "Music @ Work" this panel has had. Saw The Hip three times at the Moore Theatre, and first saw them with Greg, who he's known since they were both 18. His band is Loud Flowers: loudflowers.band• Steve from Toronto. Back again, a week ahead of schedule, and his plug this week is impending fatherhood. Originally from Thunder Bay. Heard 11 of the 14 songs on "Music @ Work" live. Not this one.• Greg from Tacoma. Back again, once his audio caught up with him. Wore this record out on a portable CD player while painting his deck in the summer of 2000, and he's the one who turned Chris on to The Hip in the first place. Makes music as Hadees Market Music.Big thanks to Chris, Steve, and Greg, and to a stacked chat. Twenty-six years in, 'The Bastard' still sounds like Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip with the pedal on the floor.GEDFEST TORONTO - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17The Horseshoe Tavern, with Grace, 2, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer.

Some of the most beautiful prophecies of Jesus Christ's birth and mission are recorded in the second half of Micah. We all know that Bethlehem, the birthplace of David, was prophesied to be the birthplace of the New David and King of Israel, but the larger context reveals much more about who Jesus is and what he came to do! Enjoy this sample from Lesson 12, "The Ruler From Bethlehem (Mic 4-7)" from Dr. Nick's 20 part course, "The Minor Prophets: The Book of the Twelve." Anyone can join our community of students and stream the entire audio lesson and full course (and other courses too!) whenever they wish.

If you hear music you love, please support the artists. You can find a link to all of the artists in the shownotes as well as how to support this podcast at CelticChristmasPodcast.com Here's a fun bit of Celtic Christmas history for you. In Ireland and Scotland, the Christmas season has always been as much about music as it is about food and family. Long before recorded sound, communities gathered in homes for what the Irish called a ceili and the Scots called a ceilidh. These weren't formal concerts. They were impromptu house parties. A fiddle came out. A whistle joined in. A bodhrán kept time. People danced, told stories, and played tune after tune deep into the night. The music was instrumental, informal, and joyful. In Cape Breton, Nova Scotia, that tradition carried on through the Scottish diaspora. Christmas gatherings there still often feature fiddle players trading tunes by the fireplace. Episode 92 is a love letter to that tradition. No lyrics required. Just the music doing what it's always done. Bringing people together. 5:34 - The Rogues "Hellbound Sleigh" from Hellbound Sleigh 10:08 -  The Jig is Up! "The Four Kings" from A Penny for the Wren 14:27 - Cedar Dobson "We Wish You a Merry Christmas / Trepak (The Nutcracker) / Jingle Bells / Auld Lang Syne" from A Whistle Wonderland: Christmas Melodies in a Celtic Style 18:46 - THANK YOU FOR SPREADING CHRISTMAS CHEER!

Judas Iscariot is one of the most infamous figures in the Bible, known as the man who betrayed Jesus for thirty pieces of silver. But his story is about far more than one man's failure. It is a mirror held up to every believer, asking a deeply personal question: Have you truly surrendered your whole heart to Jesus?In this message, we explore three powerful lessons from the life of Judas that are just as relevant today as they were two thousand years ago.First, proximity to Jesus is not the same as intimacy with Jesus. Judas walked with Jesus for three and a half years. He heard every teaching, witnessed every miracle, and participated in ministry. And yet his heart never fully surrendered. You can sing the songs, quote the scriptures, and show up every week while still keeping God at arm's length. Judas is proof that being around the things of God is not the same as being transformed by God.Second, what we hide, we give power to. Six days before the Last Supper, Judas used spiritual-sounding language to object to Mary's act of worship, but his real motive was greed. He had been stealing from the ministry's money bag all along. He had learned to cover his heart with religious words. This is a pattern many of us know well. We rationalize, redirect, and sound concerned about the right things while avoiding what the Holy Spirit is actually trying to address in us. Hidden sin does not stay small. It grows in the dark.Third, your greatest weakness can become the place of God's transforming power. The difference between Judas and the other disciples was not that they were stronger or more faithful. Peter denied Jesus three times. Thomas doubted. They all failed. The difference was what they did with their failure. They brought it back to Jesus. Judas did not. And First John 1:9 reminds us that God does not simply pardon our sin. He cleanses us and transforms us from the inside out.If you have been hiding something, rationalizing something, or carrying something alone, this message is for you. Jesus is not waiting to condemn you. He is waiting to restore you.Topics covered include: Judas Iscariot, betrayal in the Bible, John 13, the Last Supper, heart surrender, hidden sin, spiritual hypocrisy, proximity vs intimacy with God, Psalm 139, confession and forgiveness, 1 John 1:9, Christian growth, discipleship, and what it means to truly follow Jesus.Whether you are a longtime believer or someone just beginning to explore faith, this message will challenge you to stop hiding and start surrendering.

Acclaimed musicologist, composer, and author Dr. Michael Hicks served on the BYU faculty for 35 years, retiring as Professor Emeritus of Music. In our conversation, we delve into the rich and often surprising history of Latter-day Saint hymnody, looking at everything from the earliest frontier gatherings to the forthcoming global hymnbook.Michael shares how early Saints truly experienced music in their worship, shedding light on the untold stories behind iconic hymns, the shifts across different church hymnals, and the musical tastes of church leaders. We also dive into the oral practice of “lining out” hymns, the stark divide between Emma Smith's personal, grace-centered hymn selections and the Apostles' second-coming anthems, and the peculiar tale of how President Spencer W. Kimball's personal record collection made its way across the Atlantic.Some highlights from this episode include:The Lost Art of “Lining Out”: How early Latter-day Saints sang without hymnals or printed musical notation, relying on an oral, line-by-line call-and-response tradition that mirrors modern campfires and concerts.Emma Smith vs. The British Apostles: The dramatic divergence in early LDS hymnody—how Emma Smith favored deeply personal hymns centered on grace, individual redemption, and grief (including "Amazing Grace"), while the Apostles in Manchester compiled bold, millenarian songs of triumph and Zion.Joseph Smith's Real Musical Favorites: Debunking the popular myth that "A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief" was Joseph Smith's personal favorite song, and revealing why four out of his five most requested tunes were melancholy soldier ballads about the grief and regret of war.Gospel Hymnody & "Pub Songs": How 19th-century revivalist music, jaunty 3:1 rhythms, and slow harmonic changes reshaped Latter-day Saint worship—and why British and Welsh members initially dismissed these upbeat tunes as mere "pub songs."The "Alleged" New Hymnbook: Michael's insider perspective on the monumental process of revising the Church's hymnbook, the tension between British Anglican choral aspirations and eclectic multilingual expansion, and what really happens behind closed doors when committee selections are presented to the Quorum of the Twelve.President Kimball's Secret Record Collection: The funny and heartwarming story of how Michael acquired Spencer W. Kimball's personal vinyl and 78 RPM record collection—complete with the prophet's red-inked initials over his son's name—and ended up handwriting a certificate of authenticity on a fast-food receipt for two shocked British shoppers at Deseret Industries.Resources Mentioned:• Website: Visit Michael Hicks' official site for his full catalogue of music, articles, and scholarly work:https://michaelhicks.org• Book (Print/eBook): "Spencer Kimball's Record Collection: Essays on Mormon Music" by Michael Hicks (Signature Books):https://www.signaturebooks.com/books/p/spencer-kimballs-record-collection• Audiobook: "Spencer Kimball's Record Collection" (Audible Edition, narrated by Michael Hicks):https://www.audible.com/pd/Spencer-Kimballs-Record-Collection-Audiobook/B08N6WX14P• Scholarly Article: "What Hymns Early Mormons Sang and How They Sang Them" by Michael Hicks (BYU Studies):https://byustudies.byu.edu/article/what-hymns-early-mormons-sang-and-how-they-sang-themFollow For All The Saints on social media for updates and inspiring content:www.instagram.com/forallthesaintspodhttps://www.facebook.com/forallthesaintspod/For All The Saints episodes are released every Monday on YouTube, Spotify, Apple Podcasts and more:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVDUQg_qZIU&list=UULFFf7vzrJ2LNWmp1Kl-c6K9Qhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3j64txm9qbGVVZOM48P4HS?si=bb31d048e05141f2https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/for-all-the-saints/id1703815271If you have feedback or any suggestions for topics or guests, connect with Ben & Sean via hello@forallthesaints.org or DM on InstagramConversations to Refresh Your Faith.

Christianity makes an enormous claim: a dead man got back up. Instead of asking you to borrow somebody else’s faith, this message asks you to look at the evidence for yourself, including what sources outside the Bible can and cannot tell us about Jesus, His crucifixion, and the earliest Christian resurrection claim.

Apple PodcastsSpotify The question underneath the Easter story What evidence is there that Jesus rose? “Of first importance”: Christ died for our sins, was buried, was raised, and appeared to witnesses. 1 Corinthians 15:3-5 1. Jesus entered history The message points beyond the New Testament to Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny, Suetonius, and Lucian as references connected to Jesus and early Christianity. 2. Jesus was crucified Tacitus, a Roman historian critical of Christianity, connects Christus, Pontius Pilate, and execution. 3. Christians worshiped the crucified Jesus Pliny reports Christians singing to Christ “as to a god,” while the Alexamenos graffiti mocks worship of a crucified God. 4. Resurrection was proclaimed early Paul says he passed on what he had received. The resurrection claim is presented as early Christian proclamation, not a story added centuries later. 5. Named people claimed they saw Him Peter, the Twelve, more than 500, James, and Paul are named in 1 Corinthians 15:5-8. 6. Frightened followers became public witnesses The disciples move from fear and scattering to publicly proclaiming that God raised Jesus from the dead. History outside the New Testament Is there evidence for Jesus outside the Bible? Yes. The evidence for Jesus does not begin and end with the New Testament. Roman and Jewish historians who were not Christians wrote about Jesus, His crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, the movement that followed Him, the worship of Christ—and even His resurrection. That matters. These are historical witnesses outside Scripture, written by people who were not Christians. They give us historical evidence that can be examined alongside the testimony of the New Testament. History gives us evidence. We investigate that evidence, weigh it honestly, and decide what best explains it. So what evidence do we have for Jesus? What does Tacitus tell us? Tacitus was one of Rome's important historians—and he was certainly no Christian advocate. Writing around AD 116, he records that Christus suffered the “extreme penalty” during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of Pontius Pilate. That is significant independent testimony to the crucifixion. Anyone who argues that Jesus never died on the cross has a mountain of historical evidence to overcome. The crucifixion isn’t simply something Christians wrote in the Bible; a hostile Roman historian records Christ's execution under Pilate. What does Josephus tell us? Josephus was a first-century Jewish historian. Writing in Antiquities around AD 93–94, he describes Jesus as a wise man and doer of remarkable works, records His condemnation under Pilate, and writes that “he appeared to them alive again the third day.” Don’t miss that. Josephus includes the resurrection in his historical account. Those who deny the resurrection have this evidence to wrestle with. Those who receive the resurrection can stand on this evidence. The question is what you will do with it. What does Pliny the Younger tell us? Around AD 112, the Roman governor Pliny the Younger wrote to Emperor Trajan because he was dealing with Christians and wanted to know how Rome should handle them. In describing their practices, Pliny reports that Christians gathered on a fixed day and sang hymns to Christ “as to a god.” This is evidence from a Roman official that Christians were worshiping Jesus as God. Almost two thousand years later, we are still doing exactly that—we worship Jesus Christ as Lord. What does the Alexamenos Graffito show us? Someone in ancient Rome scratched a crude picture meant to ridicule a Christian named Alexamenos. It depicts a crucified figure with a donkey's head and Alexamenos standing before him in worship. The mocker meant it as an insult: Alexamenos worships his god. But look at what the mockery preserves. A Christian is pictured worshiping the crucified Christ, with his hand raised toward Him. What was intended as ridicule became historical evidence of Christian worship. They worshiped the crucified Christ then. We still lift our hands and worship Jesus today. Follow the evidence Tacitus. Josephus. Pliny. The Alexamenos Graffito. Different sources. Different perspectives. None of them Christian Scripture. Yet together they add to a historical case that cannot simply be waved away. And that is the point of Valid Faith. You don’t have to be afraid of the evidence. Investigate it. Ask hard questions. Follow it wherever it leads. The resurrection is not asking you to believe something without evidence. There is evidence. The question is what you will do with it. Further Study Read the historical sources and examine the evidence for yourself. Tacitus, Annals 15.44 Josephus, Antiquities 18 Pliny to Trajan Alexamenos Graffito What best explains it? This is not only history. This is the gospel. Jesus died for our sins. He was buried. He rose again. Because Jesus lives, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life are real, and death does not get the final word. Confess Him Romans 10:9 connects confessing Jesus as Lord with believing that God raised Him from the dead. Take your next step Don’t leave wondering what comes next. Start a conversation and let someone walk with you. Live with Him Talk to Him. Follow Him. Trust Him. Walk with Him. Jesus is alive.

This message examines non-Christian historical references connected to Jesus, His crucifixion, and early Christian worship. Was the resurrection claim added much later? 1 Corinthians 15 presents Paul passing on a resurrection proclamation he had already received, placing the claim early in the Christian movement. Why does the resurrection matter personally? The message does not stop with evidence: if Jesus is alive, forgiveness, new life, hope, and eternal life become a personal invitation to respond.

Ask Us A QuestionWe're back. ❤️After six weeks away from Love Shack Live and three weeks in Italy, we're finally back behind the microphones. And we came home with a question we haven't been able to stop thinking about…“We feel more like roommates than partners.” “I feel alone, even when they're right there.” “We love each other. We've just lost the connection we used to have.”We hear versions of these sentences all the time from people taking the Better Love Quiz.And after spending three weeks in Italy, we came home wondering about something we hadn't considered quite this way before:What if some of the connection we're missing isn't something we need to find again? What if our everyday lives simply aren't giving us enough opportunities to create it?We expected to miss the castle, the wine, the food, and those ridiculous Tuscan sunsets. Instead, we missed the people. Walking into the kitchen and finding someone there. Sitting around the table long after dinner was over. Hearing laughter from another room. Wandering without a destination. Twelve people with nowhere more important to be.And then we came home.Everything was quiet.It made us realize how incredibly efficient we've become at not needing one another. Groceries arrive at the door. Entertainment streams into our homes. We work remotely, text instead of visit, eat while answering emails, and fill nearly every empty space in our day.It's convenient. But there may be a relational price we're paying for all that efficiency.In this episode, we're talking about what Tuscany reminded us about how human connection actually grows, why familiarity can make us stop noticing the people we love, and how to bring some of that la dolce vita back into an ordinary Tuesday.We talk about why connection needs proximity and repetition, the Italian piazza and the disappearing “third places” in our own communities, why humans bond through participation rather than observation, and the surprisingly important art of lingering.And if you're thinking, “That sounds lovely, but I don't have time for any of this,” we talk about that too.Because rebuilding connection doesn't have to mean a romantic vacation, a giant relationship conversation, or packing your bags and moving to Tuscany.Sometimes it starts with dinner lasting twenty minutes longer.In this episode:Why connection needs proximity and repetitionWhat Italian piazzas taught us about making room for the unplannedThe relational price we may be paying for convenienceWhy you can't observe your way into connectionAperitivo, lingering, and il dolce far niente, the sweetness of doing nothingWhat happens when the person you love becomes so familiar that you stop really seeing themSimple rituals that create more opportunities for connection at homeWhy “I don't have time for that” might be exactly where we need to startWhere to StartNot sure whether what you're experiencing is a rough patch or something more?

Read OnlineThe Hidden Mysteries of GodWhile they were all amazed at his every deed, Jesus said to his disciples, “Pay attention to what I am telling you. The Son of Man is to be handed over to men.” But they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand it, and they were afraid to ask him about this saying. Luke 9:43b–45After Jesus revealed His coming Passion, Death, and Resurrection to the Twelve for the first time, eight days passed. Then He took Peter, James, and John up a high mountain, where He was transfigured before them. That extraordinary glimpse of His divine glory may well have been a source of consolation, dispelling some of the sorrow and confusion they had carried since hearing the unsettling news that their Master would suffer and die.Upon descending the mountain, Jesus and the three Apostles rejoined the remaining disciples and were met by a large crowd. A man in the crowd presented Jesus with his son who was possessed by a demon. Jesus delivered the boy, and in response, “all were astonished by the majesty of God” (Luke 9:43a). It is immediately in this context of public amazement and admiration that Jesus once again turns to His disciples and predicts His Passion for the second time, as we read in today's Gospel.Jesus' first prediction, recorded earlier in Luke 9, comes across as more reserved and instructional. But in this second pronouncement, there is a new tone that is more urgent and emphatic: “Pay attention to what I am telling you…” His words carry weight, demanding serious reflection. And yet, despite His directness and solemnity, the Gospel tells us: “they did not understand this saying; its meaning was hidden from them so that they should not understand it…” Even more, they were afraid to question Him.Why was the meaning hidden from them? The answer lies in the mystery of what theologians call “divine pedagogy.” God often reveals His truths gradually, preparing the soul to receive what it cannot yet bear. The Passion of Christ is not only a historical event but a spiritual reality that we must accept with faith. Without the light of the Cross and Resurrection, the notion of a suffering Messiah remained incomprehensible to the Apostles. God permitted the veil over their understanding not as a punishment, but as a protection lest they fall into despair or distortion of the truth. Only after the Resurrection and Pentecost would their hearts be fully opened to grasp the necessity and glory of Christ's suffering.In our own journey of faith, we too encounter truths that seem hidden or are difficult to grasp. We may wonder why God allows confusion, trials, or periods of spiritual obscurity. When that happens, we can learn much from Jesus' interaction with the Twelve in this passage.God, in His perfect wisdom, will at times withhold certain understandings from us until we are spiritually ready to receive them. When this happens, we are often tempted to doubt or even despair. But what is the proper response? We find it in the example of the Apostles' confusion. They did not understand and were afraid to ask Jesus what He meant—perhaps because they feared the answer. What they needed at that moment was humility, prayer, and perseverance, grounded in trust. In truth, the moments of confusion that God permits are always for our good because they strengthen our faith in Him even when we do not yet understand.Reflect today on these hidden moments in your own life. Are there aspects of God's will you do not yet understand? Are there things that fill you with fear and tempt you to despair? Do not be afraid to approach Jesus with your questions, even if answers do not come immediately. Trust that in His perfect time, all will be revealed and that the Cross always precedes the light of the Resurrection.Most mysterious Lord, the truth of who You are and what You do in my life is beyond my comprehension. When I am confused by life's circumstances, please fill me with confidence in You and trust in Your providence. I know that You know all things and that You will my good. May I trust You in the midst of confusion and press forward with humility, knowing that, in the end, everything will come to light and be made known. Jesus, I trust in You.Image: Ilyas Basim Khuri Bazzi Rahib, CC BY-SA 3.0, via Wikimedia CommonsSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

Welcome to the fifth Episode of its kind, documenting the 2026 Monte Carlo Rendez-Vous on your behalf. The first in 2022 foretold a historic, chaotic and dramatic hard-market renewal. At the next, stability and a return to orderliness was craved, and was granted. The year after that, animal spirits started to be talked of in hushed tones. Last year, the industry had its mojo well and truly back. Twelve months ago I heard reinsurers tell me, almost to a person, that they were happy to give up a little rate in exchange for growth. Well, the renewal at 1.1.26 delivered two years of softening compressed into one – so were they still happy? Today capital is even more abundant. Profits are still real, but are hurdles still being met and are red lines about to be crossed as the market continues to soften? Join me as I wander the streets, dodge the supercars, cross the squares and elbow my way through the crowded bars and lobbies of Monte Carlo, to meet a representative cross-section of the Reinsurance buying and selling public, and find out what's really happening in the State of (Re)insurance as we look towards 1.1.27.

In this episode:After disgrace, after chains, after the navy he had built was nearly ruined in another man's hands, Yi Sun-sin returned to the sea with almost nothing left. Korea was bleeding, Japan was pressing forward again, and the king was ready to abandon the waters altogether. But Yi looked at the wreckage, counted what remained, and sent back the words that would follow him into history: “Your servant still has twelve ships.” In The Twelve Ships, Part 2 of the life of Yi Sun-sin, the story moves through betrayal, humiliation, impossible odds, and the final battles of a man who would not let the enemy pass while he still had breath to fight.About this series:Stirring Stories is an occasional series from Sandy Creek Stirrings that uncovers some of history's most remarkable—and often forgotten—true stories. From ancient battlefields and lost expeditions to shipwrecks, disasters, daring escapes, and extraordinary acts of courage, each episode brings the past vividly to life through immersive storytelling and careful historical research. More than a history lesson, these are stories that remind us of the enduring truths of human nature and the timeless wisdom of God's Word.

In Mark 10.33, Jesus takes the Twelve aside – speaking specifically to them rather than the wider crowd – to reveal what lies ahead: His suffering and death. He tells them, “The Son of Man will be delivered over to the chief priests and the scribes. They will condemn Him to death and will hand Him over to the Gentiles.” Immediately after Jesus reveals His impending death and resurrection, an extraordinary interaction occurs. In verse 35, the brothers James and John approach Jesus with a bold request: “Teacher, we want You to do for us whatever we ask.” It is a striking demand – unlike almost anything else seen from the disciples in Scripture. It reflects a mindset people sometimes bring to prayer today: approaching God demanding our own terms. Jesus responds by asking, “What do you want Me to do for you?” Though He already knew their hearts, He allowed them to speak for themselves. In verse 37, they make their request: “Grant us to sit, one at Your right hand and one at Your left, in Your glory.” In verse 38, Jesus rebukes them gently but firmly: “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I drink, or to be baptised with the baptism with which I am baptised?” Jesus redirects their focus from status to calling. Before the crown comes the cup; before reigning comes the willingness to endure suffering and persecution for the sake of the Gospel. The message remains a vital challenge for believers today: if we desire a place in His Kingdom, we cannot merely seek honour – we must be willing to pay the price of true discipleship and service.

Read OnlineThe Messiah Who SuffersOnce when Jesus was praying in solitude, and the disciples were with him, he asked them, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” They said in reply, “John the Baptist; others, Elijah; still others, ‘One of the ancient prophets has arisen.'” Then he said to them, “But who do you say that I am?” Peter said in reply, “The Christ of God.” Luke 9:18–20Today's Gospel presents a decisive moment of revelation. As Jesus prays in solitude with the Twelve nearby, He asks, “Who do the crowds say that I am?” After hearing their responses, He turns the question more personally to them: “But who do you say that I am?” Peter, speaking on behalf of the Twelve, proclaims, “The Christ of God”—the Anointed One, the long-awaited Messiah.Though Peter is the one who speaks, it is Jesus, in His divine nature, who reveals this truth to Peter and prompts his profession of faith. Jesus could have simply announced His identity Himself, but He invites Peter to participate in this revelation through faith. Once Peter responds, Jesus immediately “rebuked them and directed them not to tell this to anyone.”Why the secrecy? It seems counterintuitive. Shouldn't the truth of Jesus' identity be proclaimed far and wide? And yet, Jesus, in His divine wisdom, requires temporary silence.That silence is explained by what follows. Jesus immediately begins to disclose the nature of His mission as Messiah: “The Son of Man must suffer greatly and be rejected by the elders, the chief priests, and the scribes, and be killed and on the third day be raised.” This was not what the disciples expected. Though the prophets had foretold the coming of the Messiah, many Jews envisioned a powerful leader who would unite Israel, overthrow Roman rule, and restore the kingdom to earthly glory.Jesus shatters that expectation. He reveals that, as the Christ, He will fulfill His mission not through conquest but through suffering, death, and resurrection. While the mention of rising on the third day may have stirred some hope, the announcement of His suffering and death would have been deeply unsettling. What's more, in the verses immediately following today's Gospel, Jesus tells the Twelve that anyone who wishes to follow Him must also take up his cross.One of the most quoted passages from the Prophet Isaiah speaks directly to this mystery: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, nor are your ways my ways—oracle of the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, my thoughts higher than your thoughts” (Isaiah 55:8–9).Though this truth applies to many aspects of life, it is especially relevant to Jesus' Passion and our participation in it. Like the Jews of that time who expected a conquering Messiah, we too can mistakenly believe that following Christ means the removal of suffering. But that is not the case. In fact, God often permits suffering because He sees the greater good it can accomplish in us and through us. Suffering has been redeemed by Christ's Passion and now holds great power when embraced in union with Him. Reflect today on the shocking revelation that following Christ does not mean the removal of the Cross from our lives but the opposite. Consider whether you, like many of Jesus' disciples, have false expectations of God and your participation in His life and mission. In what ways is God calling you to carry your cross through a life marked by a greater participation in His Passion? Do you see your sufferings and crosses as obstacles to your happiness or as means to greater sanctity? God's ways are often difficult to accept, but with time and prayer, we understand the Cross and its glorious fruit. Do not be afraid to follow the path your Messiah has prepared for you. My suffering Lord, You are the Christ, the Messiah, the Son of the Living God. You took on human nature, not to conquer nations or establish an earthly kingdom, but to conquer sin and death. Draw me into Your Passion, Death, and Resurrection. May I not only know who You are, but also live in union with You, taking up my cross each day and following in Your footsteps. Jesus, I trust in You. Image via Adobe Stock Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc. All rights reserved.

Before we jump in: CJ and I are live on YouTube every Tuesday morning at 11am Eastern teaching the Kingdom Writers Workshop, where we're learning to partner with God in our writing instead of doing it on our own.Every session comes with a free worksheet, and the replays are yours for life. Grab yours at https://trainingauthors.com/kingdomwritersHow many years have you been carrying this book? Four? Twelve? Twenty-five? Somewhere along the way you may have started reading the delay as the answer, and decided it was too late to write your Christian book.It isn't. CJ and Shelley walk through five reasons the years behind you are not a verdict on the book in front of you.Delay is not a verdict. Joseph got the dream and then got the prison. Moses was 80 when the assignment came. Time passing tells you that time passed, and nothing more than that.There are three different versions of "too late," and they need three different answers: I'm too old, the moment passed, and I wasted the time. Naming which one you are carrying is what lets you set it down.Shelley also shares her mom's story. She started a book, walked through a multiple myeloma diagnosis, and the book she finished years later held a story she could not have written before.And the restart is smaller than you think. Not a new outline. Open the file, read the last page you wrote, and write one paragraph forward.

Some of the earliest financial supporters of Jesus' ministry were women.Luke 8:1–3 introduces us to Mary Magdalene, Joanna, Susanna, and “many others” who traveled with Jesus and the Twelve. Luke adds a remarkable detail: these women were supporting Jesus' ministry “out of their means.”Sharon Epps, President of Kingdom Advisors and one of the founders of Women Doing Well, points to their story as a powerful picture of generosity. These women didn't simply contribute resources to a cause. They had encountered Jesus personally, received His grace, and responded by using what they had to serve Him and others.Their example reminds us that Christian generosity begins not with what we give to God, but with what we have already received from Him.Generosity Begins With ReceivingLuke tells us that these women had experienced Jesus' healing and restoration. Mary Magdalene had been delivered from seven demons, while others had been healed of diseases and afflictions. Then, having received from Jesus, they gave.“God always pours into us first,” Epps explains. “Our breath, our skills, our life, and our resources are all gifts from Him.”That changes the starting point for generosity. We don't give to earn God's favor or repay Him for His grace. We give because His grace has already been freely given to us.Everything we possess—our money, abilities, opportunities, relationships, and time—ultimately comes from God. When we begin there, generosity becomes less about meeting an obligation and more about faithfully responding to what we have received.Turning Our Attention OutwardAn old Latin phrase, incurvatus in se, means “curved in on oneself.” It describes the human tendency to turn inward and make life primarily about ourselves. That temptation can become especially strong when life feels exhausting.Epps uses the playful word “exhausterwhelmulated”—exhausted, overwhelmed, and overstimulated—to describe how many people feel today. When we're depleted, our instinct can be to turn inward and focus almost exclusively on our own needs.But remembering God's care gives us another way forward.“When we can breathe in God's care, we can resist the self-focus and actually flow outward,” Epps says. “Let His generosity flow through us, even when life feels heavy.”Generosity invites us to notice the people God has placed around us. It turns our attention outward—not because our own needs don't matter, but because God's provision frees us to see beyond ourselves.Stewarding More Than MoneyThe women of Luke 8 also remind us that faithful stewardship extends beyond financial giving.Today, women can use their resources, work, relationships, businesses, investments, experience, and influence for others' good. That might mean supporting a local ministry, operating a business with integrity, investing in ways that promote human flourishing, mentoring someone who needs guidance, or simply responding to a need close to home.“We can use our positions and relationships as part of God's work of restoration,” Epps says.God entrusts each of us with different resources and opportunities. Faithful stewardship asks how we might use those gifts in love of God and neighbor.Start With One Faithful StepFor someone who wants to become more generous but already feels stretched, the answer doesn't have to be a dramatic financial commitment. Epps encourages women to begin by remembering who they are.“You are a daughter of the King,” she says. “Pause long enough to breathe in His love and acknowledge that He's our ultimate provider. Then look for just one small, concrete way you can share.”Perhaps it's meeting a need you notice today. Maybe it's offering your time, sharing your expertise, encouraging someone, or giving financially where you're able.The women of Luke 8 show us that generosity begins with receiving. They encountered the grace of Christ and responded by faithfully using what had been entrusted to them. Their names appear in only a few verses, but their generosity helped support a ministry that would change the world. And their example still invites us to ask: What has God graciously entrusted to me, and how might I use it today for the good of others?To read more content on women and faithful stewardship, explore the special edition of Faithful Steward Magazine by becoming a FaithFi partner at FaithFi.com/Give.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own several renovated rental properties that I bought very cheaply and hoped to leave to my family.

Send us Fan MailOn September 11, 2001, Chris Meek was on the 19th floor at Goldman Sachs. He heard what sounded like a garbage truck hitting a pothole. A colleague looked out the window and thought it was a ticker-tape parade. Then they saw the paper was on fire.Chris and ghostwriter Dave Jarecki join Siegfried "Sig" Tiegs to talk about their book, Keeping Our Nation's Promise: 9/11 and the Stories That Still Shape Us. They interviewed close to 60 people for 38 profiles: a soldier who personally tagged more than 60 bodies at the Pentagon, two fighter pilots prepared to ram Flight 93, a mother still carrying the story of her son, the man in the red bandana, and two brothers who worked their way onto the pile to find their father. One became a West Point graduate. The other is now a lieutenant in his father's firehouse.Chris also shares how a Marine's request for tube socks and baby wipes became SoldierStrong, which has now donated 31 exoskeletons that let paralyzed veterans stand at eye level with the world again. The conversation turns to PTSD, veteran suicide, and what separates people who find hope from those who don't.

In this episode of the Matthews Mentality Podcast, Kyle Matthews sits down with Jennifer Fisher, founder and Chief Brand Officer of Jennifer Fisher Jewelry, founder of Maedyn, and author of Trust Your Gut.The New York Times called her the Queen of Hoops. Jennifer spent ten years as a wardrobe stylist, starting out on commercials, before making a single piece for herself — a gold tag with her son's name on it, created after years of fertility setbacks because nothing on the market felt like her. She wore it on set, made one for Uma Thurman, and Uma chose to wear it on the cover of Glamour without telling her first.She has lived with a desmoid tumor, a soft tissue sarcoma, since she was 30, at a point when nobody was certain how to treat it. Twelve rounds of chemotherapy shrank it. Turning 50 and living with Hashimoto's, she later read her way into an anti-inflammatory approach to food that became her signature salts, her cookbook, and Maedyn, the lifestyle and media platform she now runs alongside the jewelry business.The conversation also explores bootstrapping for almost 20 years before taking on Centric Brands, a roughly $3 billion licensing company, as a manufacturing partner; the surge in demand COVID produced; how she gets her jewelry onto the people who wear it; and what gold prices and tariffs are doing to the business right now.Topics covered in this episode:- The New York Times naming her the Queen of Hoops- Ten years styling commercials before she made any jewelry- Making the first gold tag for her son after years of fertility setbacks- Uma Thurman wearing her piece on the cover of Glamour- Living with a desmoid tumor since the age of 30- Twelve rounds of chemotherapy while building the business- Why she wants people in the office rather than remote- Bootstrapping for almost 20 years before any outside partner- Why COVID created a surge in demand for the brand- Partnering with Centric Brands to scale manufacturing and wholesale- How she approaches getting jewelry onto celebrities- Hashimoto's, inflammation, and rethinking how she eats- Where the name Maedyn came from, and what it is now- What rising gold prices and tariffs mean for a jewelry business- Her husband coming in to run the company- How her family, and the tumor, still shape what drives herJennifer also explains why the biggest decisions in her career came from listening to herself rather than the people telling her to go another way, and why she kept going through the stretches when nothing went to plan.Whether you're an entrepreneur, founder, creative, or someone interested in fashion, branding, health, or building a consumer business, this conversation offers a close look at the decisions behind Jennifer Fisher Jewelry and the woman who built it.Follow Jennifer Fisher:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jenniferfisherjewelryLearn More About Jennifer Fisher Jewelry:Website: https://jenniferfisherjewelry.comLearn More About Maedyn:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/maedynGet Jennifer's Book:Trust Your GutFollow Kyle Matthews CEO:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kylematthewsceoTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@kylematthewsceoX: https://x.com/kylematthewsceoLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kylematthewsceo00:00 Rihanna Walks In01:01 Meet Jennifer Fisher02:35 A Day in the Life03:57 Remote Work vs the Office11:24 Work Ethic From Family14:10 Money Loss and Anxiety as Fuel18:13 Living With a Desmoid Tumor21:46 The Jewelry Origin Story24:24 Queen of Hoops25:59 The Anti-Inflammatory Shift28:10 Styling Career and Hustle30:53 Founder Mom Tradeoffs35:32 Raising Hardworking Kids38:35 Always-On Sacrifices40:36 Bootstrapping, Then Partners42:19 The COVID Demand Surge44:58 Scaling With Systems48:15 The Celebrity Seeding Strategy51:04 Trusting Her Gut53:45 New Lines and Menswear54:13 The Maedyn Origin Story58:03 Adversity and Mindset01:01:00 Advice for Starting Out01:02:09 Being a Female Founder01:04:45 Mentorship and Giving Back01:08:50 Defining Success01:10:07 The Nicest Thing Anyone Did01:11:00 Praise From Anna Wintour01:12:40 Fashion Favorites01:13:56 Her Husband as CEO01:16:11 The Rihanna Amex Story01:18:13 Gold Prices and Tariffs01:21:09 Trends and Lab Diamonds01:23:32 The Long-Term Vision01:27:16 Family, Motivation, Perspective01:30:50 Closing Thoughts

When the G20 conspired with Deep State villain Mark Carney and the Financial Stability Board to allow the banks to steal everyone's deposits back in 2014, it sounded like the worst idea in the world. Twelve years later, the idea is still horrible, but it's actually starting to become a possibility. Have we reached the end of private savings? Or will we allow ourselves to live in a world where the State is a co-signer on our bank account? Ursula von der Leyen said the quiet part out loud when she called bank savings “lazy”, and offered to put the money to work in her economic concentration camps. Unfortunately, those lazy banks just might be close to taking up running, whether they want to or not.---Charlie's New Book:The Octopus Of Population Control - Paperback, Kindle, & AudiobookMacroaggressionswww.Macroaggressions.io | Merch Store | Link TreeVideo Channels: Rumble | YouTube | BrighteonActivist Post: Newsletter Sign UpAudiobooks: Hypocrazy | The Octopus of Global ControlSupport Our SponsorsReplace Your Mortgage: www.WipeOutYourMortgageNow.comGround Luxe Grounding MatsC60 Power | Promo Code: MACROChemical Free Body | Promo Code: MACROWise Wolf Gold & SilverLegalShield: www.DontGetPushedAround.comEMP Shield | Promo Code: MACROChristian Yordanov's Health ProgramAbove PhoneThe Dollar Vigilante

Jesus sends out the Twelve with power and authority, teaching them to rely on him alone for what they need along the way. (Lectionary #451) September 23, 2026 - Cathedral Rectory - Superior, WI Fr. Andrew Ricci - www.studyprayserve.com  

Today’s Topics: 1, 2, 3, 4) Bishop Joseph Strickland and Father Charles Murr join Terry Gospel – Luke 9:1-6  – Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and He sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them.” Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the Good News and curing diseases everywhere.

Original Airdate: September 25, 2024 === Gospel Luke 9:1-6 Jesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, "Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic. Whatever house you enter, stay there and leave from there. And as for those who do not welcome you, when you leave that town, shake the dust from your feet in testimony against them." Then they set out and went from village to village proclaiming the Good News and curing diseases everywhere. Reflection The important thing in this passage to me is the description of the Kingdom of God. It is a power given to us. And demons are those intentions within us that can be so destructive and harmful to others. And so often those negative images that we carry within ourselves affects our health as well. So this idea that we live in a kingdom of God, where there is love and understanding and compassion. We know that we're going to be living in a place where there is less evil and more health. The Kingdom of God. Closing Prayer Father, you've given us a free will. We can choose an attitude, a disposition that is destructive to ourselves and others. So we long for your guidance. We long for your wisdom so that our choices will always bring us into the kingdom of God. And we ask this in Jesus' name, Amen. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Here is what mattered in powersports this week, and what each story means for your store.Two kinds of stories this week. Brands under pressure: Triumph's first dirt bike gets recalled, MV Agusta admits it is hunting for cash, and KTM's newest bike is only as good as the allocation. And two dealers who just proved you can last. Kegel Harley-Davidson is the official oldest Harley dealer in the world at 114 years. Naults in New England is at 118 and started out selling Schwinn bicycles.The line between the two is simple. The ones that last have more than one leg to stand on. Polaris is building sleds for the military. CFMoto is buying into an NFL stadium. Turn 14 is bringing show-only parts pricing right before the fourth quarter. The lesson for a dealer is the same one every time. New units are not the only game.This week's rundown:Triumph recalls about 1,560 TF-450 motocross bikes in the US. The rocker arm can seize, the valves can break, and the fix is a whole new cylinder head. Twelve reports, one injury. This is the first real test of how Triumph backs its first dirt bike, and the owner is mad at Triumph but standing at your counter.MV Agusta says it is restructuring and looking for an outside investor. The statement pushes back on rumors but never says bikes are being built or shipped. What gets shaky first for an MV dealer: new units, parts, then warranty money.Why a cheap buy-in on a struggling brand is not cheap if the units never show upCFMoto is now the official side-by-side and ATV partner of the Minnesota Vikings. Close to 800 US dealers now. Why a stadium deal means your salesperson is not starting cold.Kegel Harley-Davidson in Rockford, Illinois, is the official oldest Harley dealer in the world. Same family since 1912. Retention is the whole game.Yamaha's 2027 WR450F. A new model year is a reason to call every owner in your file, and every trade is a clean used unit you sell twice.KTM's 2027 690 Rally. The ADV buyer spends on luggage, crash bars, and tires, and rides enough miles to keep your service bays full. The honest question is allocation.Husqvarna's 2027 TE300 Pro and FE350 Pro. Why the Pro badge gives your salesperson a step up and why the rider who stretches for it buys the good tires too.Naults Powersports has been open 118 years. It started as a Schwinn bicycle shop in 1908 and runs four stores today. Being old is the result, not the plan.Turn 14 is bringing buy-ready UTV parts and show-only pricing to the Sand Sports Super Show. Side-by-side unit margin is thin. The money is in wheels, roofs, light bars, and winches. Stock deep now.Polaris built a snowmobile for the military. You will never sell one, but it tells you the factory reads retail as soft and is spreading its bets.

The first punctuation mark was a triangular symbol pressed into clay somewhere in Mesopotamia. Spaces between words were unknown for millennia, until a group of Irish monks pioneered them in the eighth century. Flash forward 1200 years, and in 1905, Moscow's typesetters went on strike because a new regulation said they would be paid by alphabetical letter only, excluding commas, full stops, and the spaces between words. Half the work of setting a page is punctuation. The printers refused. Within weeks, the strike had spread to lawyers, teachers, railway workers, and bakers, and the czar was forced to concede a constitution. Leon Trotsky later said: "A strike which started over punctuation marks ended by felling absolutism." Twelve years later, that constitution was swept away by the revolution the printers had set in motion. Today's guest is Florence Hazrat, author of On the Mark: From Periods to Interrobangs, How Punctuation Remade the World. We discuss how the first punctuation in human history was a wedge pressed into wet Mesopotamian clay 5,000 years ago alongside the invention of writing itself, why the Romans deliberately refused to use punctuation because interpreting unpunctuated text was a privilege reserved for the elite, and how a misplaced pause in the Gospel of John could deny Christ's divinity, which is why early Christians became obsessed with dots. We look at how Irish monks in the eighth century invented spaces between words and may have changed the course of civilization, and that punctuation has never been neutral: it has hoarded power for elites, preserved orthodoxy for the Church, triggered revolutions, determined whether men lived or died, and is now evolving again as screens replace paper and AI generates text without human hands.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Read OnlineRelying on Divine ProvidenceJesus summoned the Twelve and gave them power and authority over all demons and to cure diseases, and he sent them to proclaim the Kingdom of God and to heal the sick. He said to them, “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.” Luke 9:1–3Imagine having the power to lay hands on the sick and heal them. Though it may seem like something from the world of fantasy or superheroes, it is, in truth, a participation in divine authority over nature. While children might dream of such power through comic books or cartoons, the power granted to the Apostles was not only real, it was given for a much higher purpose: to draw souls into eternal salvation.By this point in Luke's Gospel, the Twelve had been chosen and appointed as Apostles for at least several weeks, if not months. In Luke 6, Jesus called them after spending the night in prayer on a mountain. Since then, they had been formed by listening to His teachings—such as the Sermon on the Plain—witnessing miracles and exorcisms, seeing Him forgive sins, watching in awe as He calmed a stormy sea, and even beholding Him raise the dead.After this brief but intense period of formation, Jesus sent them on mission. For this mission, Jesus bestowed upon them His own divine power—to heal, cast out demons, and proclaim the Kingdom of God.As He sent them, He gave an important instruction: “Take nothing for the journey, neither walking stick, nor sack, nor food, nor money, and let no one take a second tunic.” Why would He ask this of them? It wasn't because of a lack of concern for their needs; rather, He was teaching them a vital spiritual lesson: To be effective instruments of His power and message, they had to rely completely on divine providence.Imagine being one of the Twelve, entering an unfamiliar village and seeing a crippled man begging at the gate. Suddenly, you feel inspired to lay hands on him and declare his healing. The prompting is so strong, you act. As soon as you say, “Be healed,” the man rises and walks, to the amazement of all. By day's end, lines of the sick, crippled, and demon-possessed come to you, and each one is healed or delivered.The next day, a large crowd gathers in the town square. You invite them to sit, then begin preaching all you had heard Jesus teach. As you speak, some are moved to tears; others look to Heaven in joy. Hearts are touched. Chains fall. Lives are changed—all through the instrumentality of your words and presence.Such a moment would easily lead to the temptation of pride, marveling at all you had done. But Jesus knew this. That's why, as the day ended and the crowd dispersed, the Apostles had to seek food and shelter from others. That simple act—relying on the kindness of strangers—was a daily reminder that the power they exercised was not their own. They entered towns empty-handed to remember that it was not they who worked wonders or saved souls, but Christ acting and speaking through them.When God uses us for His glorious purposes, we too will be tempted by the sin of pride. We may marvel at ourselves, seek recognition from others, or expect to be treated as if we were the source of God's grace. This very real danger must be taken seriously by anyone engaged in Christ's apostolate. Unless Christ works through us, we can do nothing. We are weak and sinful, and the merit of every good act belongs to Christ alone. We must never forget this sobering truth, especially the more deeply we become involved in His ministry.Reflect today on how fully you rely on divine providence. Are there times when you are tempted to take credit for what God does through you? Do you seek affirmation and recognition when you serve our Lord? Ask Jesus to give you the grace of humility and detachment, so that you desire only to be a pure instrument of His mercy, never seeking your own glory but always pointing back to Him.All-powerful Lord, You not only hold full authority over nature, You also possess the power to transform lives and bestow eternal life. Use me as a humble instrument of Your saving mission. Guard my heart against pride and keep me grounded in humility, ever mindful that every good work flows from You. I am but Your servant; You are the source of all goodness. Jesus, I trust in You.  Image: The Twelve Sent Out, by Julius Schnorr von CarolsfeldSource: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life! Inc.

 A Thursday night in October. A narrow bar on 8th Avenue in Calgary. A pile of crumpled fives and tens that added up to $7,000.That is where GEDfest starts, and this is the episode where the people who were standing in that room tell you how it happened. GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, a celebration of the life and music of Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip, and in 2026 it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and into the United States. It began with a handful of guys in a basement in Crestmont learning "Road Apples" front to back, and one sentence from Don Martin that changed everything: the only way we could play this live is if we had a charity.Trickle Down is the band at the centre of it, and their origin is not a music story, it is a birthday story. Don picked up a Squier starter kit in his mid-forties with a $300 work bonus burning a hole in his pocket. A 50th birthday jam. Then a 60th birthday jam ten years later, with a singer who had a great voice and never once learned the words. Keith Dick sat down behind a kit and learned to play drums, more or less, that afternoon. Everything that follows - the Legion, the Palace, the Big Four, Buffalo - runs back through that room.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• Keith on the phonetics problem. GEDfest has been pronounced just about every way a person can pronounce it, and he is quietly keeping score.• Don's version of the origin story does not match Keith's version of the origin story, and the gap between them is the best five minutes of the episode.• Jeff Hiscock could not get his own gear through the front door of the first GEDfest, because the room he was about to play in was already full. What he did about it involves reloading the car.• A tax lawyer in Toronto that nobody in the organization had ever met, one link on The Tragically Hip's website, and the donation that made Don think this thing might actually have legs.• Kevin McKay and his wife Tracy were the first two people to walk into a GEDfest that Keith had not personally invited. How they found out about it is a very Calgary answer.• Ian Martin's opening move after seeing Trickle Down play a Canada Day gig was to walk up and start hugging the band. His second move was the website contact form, and Keith still remembers opening it.• A man in his twenties sang every word from the front row of a packed room last year, then asked Jeff to sign the set list and told him why he was there. Jeff still gets goosebumps telling it.• Ken Bellis on the thing about The Hip's bass parts that you do not hear until you sit down and try to play one.THE PANEL• Keith Dyck, co-founder of GEDfest and the drummer in Trickle Down, from Calgary. He is a partner in a wealth management firm by day, which has nothing to do with any of this. His favourite song to play is 'Blow at High Dough', and he has a confession about 'Courage' that he saves for the next episode.• Don Martin, founding member of Trickle Down, from Calgary. Keith's father-in-law. Came for 'Scared', stayed for 'Nautical Disaster', and once had WestJet lose his luggage and find it again on the morning of a podcast taping.• Ian Martyn, board director of chapters, from Calgary. Twelve cities this year, and he can tell you a story from most of them. Describes his own involvement as a bromance, and he is not wrong.• Jeff Hiscock, guitar player in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Favourite to listen to is 'Fully Completely'. Favourite to play is 'Nautical Disaster', for a reason involving singer Dave Harris's shoulder that has now become a nightly ritual.• Kevin McKay, OG GEDhead, from Calgary. Works in the medical industry, which is part of why this one landed the way it did. Currently on a 'Poets' kick, and he is right to be.• Ken Bellis, bass player in Trickle Down, from Calgary. Went with 'Grace, Too' inside four seconds, as a bass player is obliged to do. Also wore the wrong shirt.GEDFEST 2026GEDfest is Gord Edgar Downie Fest, and in its ninth year it runs in twelve chapters across Canada and, for the first time, in the United States.

"MK Confidential" opens on the line outside the Orange County Courthouse, which for six weeks has been forming at three in the morning, people waiting for a seat in a room they have only watched on television. Twenty-five floors up, on July 5th, 2011, Judge Belvin Perry, Jr. opens the verdict form, reads it, then reads it again, to be sure. Jose Baez holds Casey Anthony's hand. Not guilty of first-degree murder. Not guilty of aggravated child abuse. Not guilty of aggravated manslaughter. Megyn Kelly takes up the question people have argued about ever since: why did this jury acquit?. Juror number three, a nursing student named Jennifer Ford, says Casey's bad behavior is not enough to prove a crime. Twelve people will give twelve different answers for how Caylee Marie Anthony died. Judge Perry was prepared to tell the jurors before deliberations that “how” is not an element of the crime. The prosecution never asked. Thirteen months later, two men in Phoenix recover an Internet search record the sheriff's office had missed. On the last afternoon Caylee was seen alive, someone on the Anthony family computer searched a misspelled phrase: “foolproof suffocation.” Nothing establishes whose hands were on the keyboard, and the jury never heard it. On Suburban Drive, a man named Wally Goodnough keeps bringing wooden crosses to the spot Caylee Marie's body was found. Someone keeps taking them. Wally keeps coming back. This is Episode 5 of the Casey Anthony story.
