Ilena and Meleana Levitt didn't just talk about school choice—they lived it. When their father became a fully disabled veteran and their family could no longer afford private school, these two Montana sisters made a bold and uncommon decision: they worked nearly full-time jobs as teenagers to pay for the education they believed in. It wasn't easy—but it was worth it. Now, as young adults, they're turning their personal story into public advocacy, fighting to expand school choice in Montana so that no student has to sacrifice like they did just to access the education that fits them best. In this episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with Ilena and Meleana to discuss what classical education taught them, how their family rallied behind them, and why school choice policies—like education savings accounts—are a game-changer for families who just want the freedom to choose what's best for their kids. Their story is a testament to hard work, personal agency, and the power of policy to open doors for the next generation. School choice isn't a theory for these sisters—it's the reason they're thriving. This is the kind of potential that gets unlocked when families—not systems—are put first.

One familiar story which contains a familiar parable flows into another familiar story. Is there anything at all new to say about the Samaritan that's called “good” or the Mary and Martha sisterly tiff? Unclear. But given our deep dive into Luke, and looking for threads, Pastor Megan notices two things: Luke is driving home that 1) we are meant to be moved with compassion, and 2) we are implored to listen to Jesus. Both are imperative in Luke's gospel, and in Luke's understanding of what it means to walk the Way of Jesus, with faces turned toward Jerusalem. Taken together, Megan wonders if there's a thematic thread of urgency. There's false urgencies that cause us to sidestep one in need (rooted in white supremacy culture), and real urgency to prepare for and engage resistance to empire (rooted in our call to collective liberation). Somehow we are invited to discern well between the Big Urgency and the little urgencies so that we can be sustained on this discipleship path taking us on a collision course with the corrupt powers of the world.Sermon begins at minute marker 4:53 Luke 10.25-42ResourcesBibleWorm podcast: Episode 630 – Two Sisters and a Good Samaritan, Amy Robertson and Robert Williamson, JrUrgency, a characteristic of white supremacy culturePeople's Institute for Survival and BeyondImage: this is a detail of a larger piece by artist, Dona Park, from the Anabaptist Community BibleHymn 527 - Bless the Arms That Comfort.

This week we're reading two stories that are often read separately, the Good Samaritan parable and Jesus's visit with Mary and Martha as told in Luke 10:25-42. The Good Samaritan has us thinking about the question of our obligations to our neighbors in need. When a lawyer asks Jesus, “Who is my neighbor?,” Jesus responds with a story that seems to dispense with the category of neighbor altogether, instead insisting that one must show compassion to whomever is in need. The Mary and Martha story leads us to think about the legitimate tasks of ministry and how they can sometimes be a distraction from listening to Jesus, which is the one thing a divine voice has commanded in this Gospel.

When Rachel was 36 weeks pregnant with her first child, she wasn't sure a doula was right for her family. Her husband worried they might end up with someone who'd be distracting during labor, but after meeting Stephanie from How2Mom, everything clicked. "You just felt like family," Rachel recalls of that coffee shop interview. Little did they know this connection would span years and support multiple beautiful births across their family.This episode weaves together the birth journeys of two sisters, Rachel and Katy, who each found their way to the same doula but experienced vastly different labor stories. Rachel's first birth unfolds as she labors past her due date, finding her rhythm in a powerful shower session before delivering her daughter in water. Though beautiful, a fourth-degree tear leaves medical professionals warning her against future vaginal births.Katy's story reveals the courage it takes to trust your intuition when facing medical pressure. After being told her baby was "too big" to birth naturally, she holds firm in her belief that her body knows what to do. Her journey stretches to nearly 42 weeks, culminating in an intense back labor that challenges her plans for an unmedicated birth but ultimately leads to her daughter's arrival after 37 hours of labor.The narrative comes full circle with Rachel's second birth, where despite warnings about her previous tear, she listens to her body's wisdom. In a moment of pure instinct, she catches her own baby boy after just two pushes, healing not just physically but emotionally from her first birth experience.These intertwined stories highlight how birth unfolds differently for every person—even sisters. As Katy beautifully summarizes, "Honor your intuition, your instincts... Each instance is unique." Whether you're currently expecting, planning a family, or simply fascinated by birth stories, this episode offers powerful insights into the journey of bringing life into the world with courage, support, and deep trust in your own body's capabilities.Thank you so much for listening to the Mom2Mom Podcast!

Have you ever wondered how you can "come to Jesus," when you are living in the 21 century, and He is seated in heaven? Jesus said "come to me," but he spoke those words on a hillside in Israel more than 2,000 years ago. How do I come to him today?On today's episode of the Live Like It's True podcast, Shannon is joined by Felicity Carswell and Sarah Dargue, from the "Two Sisters and a Cup of Tea" podcast, to discuss the answers to these questions, as well as how we can apply the answers to our daily lives.

Benjamin is stuck in the middle. The revelation of Joseph to his brothers teaches us about the revelation of Yeshua of Nazareth to the Jewish people, but who does the charcter of Benjamin represent? This teaching concludes the The Two Sisters teaching about the rivalry between Rachel and Leah and the distinction between Messiah son of David and Messiah son of Joseph.
Is Yeshua of Nazareth the one who was to come, or should we expect another? This second teaching in the series titled THE TWO SISTERS reveals the origin of the concept of two Messiahs in the rivalry between Rachel and Leah and the tears of Rachel, weeping for her children.
What happened to the northern kingdom and the Messianic dynasty of the house of Joseph? This teaching explains how the deeds of the fathers are portents for the sons yet again when Jacob divides his family into "two camps" thinking, ""If Esau comes to the one camp and attacks it, then the camp that is left will escape" (Genesis 32:8). Part three of the series titled THE TWO SISTERS.
"It was my instinctive reaction to run back into the darkness...Whereas the more I know Jesus—the more I am in the Word, the more I am running towards the light—the more this life that God has given me just makes sense."— Felicity Carswell Today's Episode: Today we're talking about the light and life of Jesus with Felicity Carswell. Felicity talks about the scary reality of being exposed by the light of Jesus and yet the forgiveness that we always find there. She shares about her own first experience of Jesus and coming into the light. But she also shares about the good, daily practice of exposing our hearts to the light and fighting the sin in our lives. She encourages us not only to live in the light but to invite others to step out into the light with the compassion that comes from allowing it to work in our own lives.

Nikki & Brie are in the thick of it. Thanksgiving, Black Friday, Small Business Saturday, Cyber Monday, Giving Tuesday…there's a lot going on and Christmas isn't even here yet! The Twins had plans to spend Thanksgiving together, but some unexpected events created opportunities for Nikki and Brie to celebrate the holiday in new ways. Then the sisters turned their attention to taking advantage of big deals on Black Friday and getting the most bang for their buck, but it's a Tale of Two Sisters because one of them did all of her shopping online while the other took to the streets and covered all of her Christmas bases in person. Upon Birdie & Buddy's request, Brie has brought an Elf on the Shelf into her house. But it's not something that Nikki's prepared to do for Matteo just yet. Matteo is turning into quite the artist and his latest muse is Charlie Brown, Nikki will explain. During the break, Brie took the kids to see Wicked and can't stop talking about it; Nikki wonders if she will miss out on a huge cultural touchstone involving flying monkeys and incredible songs. Brie also discovered a new way to keep Birdie and Buddy from trying to steal her snacks at the movies. Is this a method that could also work for you the next time you're at the theater? Then Nikki & Brie map out what they want for the rest of their 2024. There's one month left, which means you can still end the year as you wish. One is intent on not trying to overdo it this holiday season, the other is looking forward to creating balance and laying the groundwork for a better 2025. Nikki closes the episode out with TWO choices for Inspiration & Affirmation. Why pick one when you can have two? Call Nikki & Brie at 833-GARCIA2 and leave a voicemail!
