On episode 191 of Kliq This, Big Sexy is back from the UK, and let's just say he has some thoughts on the difference between a "British" workout and a "Detroit" one. If you're looking for a dry recap, look elsewhere; this episode is about the "unfiltered" Nash experience. The Highlights The UK Roundup: Nash breaks down his recent tour across the pond. Expect stories about the grueling travel schedule, the hospitality (or lack thereof), and how he manages to maintain his physique while living on the road in a different time zone. The Je'Von Evans Firestorm: Nash addresses the backlash from his "Mr. Bojangles" and "urban" comments. He doesn't just walk it back; he digs into his philosophy on "edge" in wrestling and why he thinks the young star is being "over-pushed" in a direction that lacks grit. Wrestler Safety 101: From his terrifying 1997 descent as Sting to why "Hell in a Cell" should actually stay inside the cell, Nash gives a masterclass on the "tricks of the trade" that kept him walking (mostly) after decades in the ring. Financial Rants: He channels his inner Warren Buffett to tear into "modern-day Ponzi schemes" like Bitcoin and paper silver. If it doesn't produce something tangible, Big Kev isn't buying it. The "Mount Nashmore" of Booze: Who can actually hang with the big men after the show? Nash crowns his picks for the wrestlers who could hold their liquor, featuring the likes of The Undertaker, Stone Cold, and Scott Hall. Why It's a Must-Listen This isn't just a wrestling podcast; it's cultural commentary. Whether he's dissecting Trump's Canadian tariffs or explaining why Hulk Hogan used to hide his blade in his mouth, Nash remains the most opinionated—and arguably most entertaining—veteran in the game. 00:00 Kliq This #191: UK Roundup 00:56 Urban vs Rural 03:20 Robert Duvall 12:12 MT Nashmore Duvall 17:25 The Pay for Magic Mike 22:28 UK tour 24:41 Dropping "Snakes" 26:06 The Tour 28:53 Swerve Stickland 30:20 Tim Robinson 31:48 BREAK MUD/WTR 36:59 "Be Educating me" 39:17 "Kevin, This is how you remind me of how great the podcast is!" 41:01 Sean has no IDEA what body building is 41:56 Why kev work 48:19 "huge thing of your life" 50:20 Being gifted artwork 59:07 Justin Credible 01:00:44 KTTV 01:02:47 KEV I WATCHED RAW… 01:06:19 Jevon Evans 01:11:56 "One of the Good ones" 01:15:03 Jevon Evans' presentation 01:21:54 BREAK BLUECHEW 01:23:56 EC Predictions 01:27:32 FL vs NJ 01:29:41 VKM car crash 01:33:35 01:33:35 BREAK MANDO 01:37:58 ASKNASH 01:38:26 Swerve v Kenny 01:39:43 Why didn't Steve Austin put over Scott Hall at Wrestlemania 01:41:50 Reggie White 01:43:13 Ric Flair keeping his clothes on 01:43:55 Wrestlemania tickets looking bad 01:47:43 Running to the ring during the Royal Rumble 01:48:30 OUTRO

Jesus both subverts and fulfills our expectations.To be human is to have expectations about how we hope life to go. Even John the Baptist, the forerunner of the Messiah, has expectations about who Jesus is and what he should do. In this sermon, we explore how Jesus both subverts and fulfills our expectations, and why that is good news.

There's a blunt-force clarity to “The Bluff.” Cannons roar, cliffs loom, and survival comes down to grit, guns, and one badass mother who refuses to bend. Directed by Frank E. Flowers, the 19th-century Caribbean thriller follows Ursell (Priyanka Chopra Jonas), a former pirate whose quiet life is shattered when Connor (Karl Urban), a betrayed former ally, arrives with vengeance and unfinished business on his mind. What unfolds is part Pirate-themed, “Die Hard”-esque siege movie, part reckoning with empire, and, in Urban's words, “actually a love story with the volume turned up.” The film hits Prime Video on February 25 and also stars Temuera Morrison, Ismael Cruz Córdova, Safia Oakley-Green, and more.On this episode of The Discourse, host Mike DeAngelo is joined by Priyanka Chopra Jonas and Karl Urban to talk about the sweat, the history, and the franchise futures looming on both of their horizons.When asked just how physically punishing the shoot for “The Bluff” was, Urban did not romanticize it. “At the end of every single day, I would go and get all the stuff taken off, and I would have a double tequila ready to go and ready for that car ride home,” he said. Chopra-Jonas raised the stakes. “I definitely needed a tetanus shot, and margarita, and a bottle of wine.” The production was shot entirely on location, on a tight schedule, and there was “no time for anybody to fall sick. There was just no room.” Chopra Jonas admitted. “But, I mean, it looks great, and it turned out great.”

Returns are no longer just a headache, they're a strategic opportunity. As the circular economy gains momentum, reverse logistics is quickly becoming one of the most important levers in modern supply chains.In this episode of Supply Chain Now, Scott W. Luton and Deborah Dull are joined by Scot Case, Vice President of Sustainability at the National Retail Federation (NRF), and Tony Sciarrotta, Senior Director of Reverse Logistics and Circularity at NRF, to share key insights from the NRF Rev event and discuss why reverse logistics deserves a seat at the strategy table.The conversation explores how resale, repair, and recycling are moving into the mainstream, and why returns should no longer be treated as a cost center. From the surge in e-commerce returns to increasing legislative pressure through extended producer responsibility, the group breaks down how these forces are changing retail and supply chain operations.Deborah adds perspective on how technology improves visibility and accountability across the returns process. Together, the guests outline practical ways companies can turn reverse logistics into a competitive advantage while improving customer experience and advancing sustainability goals.Jump into the conversation:(00:00) Intro(02:31) Meet the guests: Scot Case and Tony Sciarrotta(06:31) NRF's sustainability mission: Business value meets reverse logistics(10:46) RLA + NRF: Bringing returns out of the “dark side”(15:22) Macro trends shaping reverse logistics: Reuse, resale, repair & more(20:40) Tariffs, EPR laws & the circular economy's next push(24:52) Inside NRF Rev: The reverse logistics & revenue “revolution” event(26:05) NRF Rev: Bringing reverse logistics into the spotlight(27:32) Why retailers are the center of the returns universe(28:18) Refurbished products mindset shift: The ‘restaurant fork' story(29:24) Deborah's practitioner lens: Why this conference matters(31:00) Key takeaways: Collaboration, EPR, and no single silver bullet(34:04) Urban mining & the resale economy (and why brands must engage)(36:32) What's next: NRF working groups, global scale, and policy influence(40:16) Remade in America: A story-driven podcast on ‘where returns go'Additional Links & Resources:Connect with Scot Case: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scotcase/Connect with Tony Sciarrotta: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tony-sciarrotta-235570/Connect with Deborah Dull: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deborahdull/Learn more about the National Retail Federation (NRF): https://nrf.comLearn more about NRF Rev:

Let's Chat!!Welcome back to this mini episode of Cauldrons of Chaos—where the spells are strong, the vibes are aligned, and no one remembers where they put the athame.In this mini episode, we're talking about witchcraft fitness—the very real, very sweaty workout you didn't sign up for but somehow completed anyway.From barefoot sprints across the house mid-ritual, to arm day via stubborn lighters, to core engagement while stirring intentions (and maybe a cocktail), this is the kind of movement no gym app tracks—but your body absolutely does.We're breaking down how spells double as cardio, why sweeping “with intention” is still exercise, and how your familiar is secretly the final boss of functional fitness.No matching leggings required. No aesthetic altar needed. Just candles, chaos, and calves that noticed.Because if you're sweating… the spell is working.Boo-bitches. Stay hydrated.

As Mumbai hosted its first Climate Week, the spotlight is on how India's fast-growing cities will navigate the accelerating energy transition. Renewable power is now cheaper than ever, electric vehicles are expanding globally, and India has emerged as one of the world's largest generators of wind and solar energy. Yet the shift away from fossil fuels is proving uneven. Regulatory bottlenecks and financing gaps are slowing the pace of change even as electricity demand surges. That demand is set to climb further with the rapid expansion of AI and data centres, raising fresh questions about energy sources and long-term lock-ins. At the same time, Mumbai faces intensifying heatwaves, heavier rainfall and the long-term threat of sea-level rise, vulnerabilities that sit uneasily alongside large-scale infrastructure projects and rising air pollution levels. Urban planning choices made today, from coastal development to transport electrification, could determine whether the city builds climate resilience or compounds future risk. Can India's growth story remain compatible with its climate commitments? Will rising power demand from technology and infrastructure revive fossil fuel dependence, or accelerate clean electrification? Can India's financial capital turn climate pressure into an opportunity to lead?

A council cost cutting decision has resulted in a local attraction. When the Horowhenua District Council stopped mowing residential berms to save money, it made Levin resident Louise McCarthy very grumpy. She refused to cut the grass herself and declined neighbours offers to trim it too, until she decided to transform the berm into an urban meadow full of wildflowers. Louise McCarthy spoke to Lisa Owen.

Join the Conversation at 303-477-5600 or text to 307-200-8222 Monday - Friday from 3 pm - 6 pm MT. HOUR 1 Hour 1 of https://RushToReason.com opens with a bold challenge: are we being told the full truth about our health—or just the convenient version? John Rush is joined by Dr. Kelly Victory, an independent physician and nationally recognized public health expert, for a wide-ranging and provocative conversation. Should some prescription drugs—like antibiotics—be available over the counter? Would it lower costs and restore patient freedom, or create new risks? Then the discussion pivots to hormone replacement therapy. Is declining testosterone or estrogen just “normal aging,” or are people suffering unnecessarily? And how do you pursue hormone therapy safely—without falling for clinic hype? The hour turns more intense as they examine rising cancer rates, particularly in younger adults. Is it a coincidence, lifestyle, COVID itself, or the mRNA shots? Dr. Kelly outlines concerns about immune disruption, lipid nanoparticles, and batch inconsistencies. What can people do now? Are antibody tests and certain supplements worth considering? If you've ever felt like key details are missing from the mainstream narrative, this episode asks the hard questions—without apology. Websites Mentioned * https://LabCorp.com * https://howbadismybatch.com HOUR 2 Hour 2 turns up the heat. John Rush welcomes Alvin Louie, President of Courage Is a Habit, for a tactical breakdown of what he calls “language deconstruction.” Are cultural debates—especially around transgender ideology—being won not by facts, but by redefining words? Alvin shares a provocative role-play and a six-month social experiment designed to expose what he believes are manipulative debate tactics. How do you avoid getting dragged into the “swamp” and losing moral clarity? Then John pivots to media accountability. With the FCC reportedly scrutinizing The View over equal-time rules, what exactly is the Fairness Doctrine—and could it apply to late-night hosts, too? If one political candidate gets airtime, should the opponent automatically get the same? The hour closes with strong commentary on circumcision, religious doctrine, and a viral controversy involving an Islamic scholar condemning dog ownership. Are we witnessing cultural confusion—or a deeper ideological shift? If you care about free speech, faith, media bias, and parental authority, this hour demands your attention. Guest Timestamps * 1:17 – Alvin Louie - https://courageisahabit.org HOUR 3 Hour 3 opens with Jerzee Joe delivering a sharp economic perspective: Why do nations with the same geography end up worlds apart economically? From Haiti vs. the Dominican Republic to East vs. West Berlin, is government the defining factor between prosperity and collapse? The conversation intensifies with analysis of media silence surrounding controversial political rhetoric, questions about crime trends, and ongoing investigations tied to Black Lives Matter leadership. Are Americans getting the full story—or just curated headlines? Then, energy policy takes center stage as Kenny Stein, Vice President of Policy at the American Energy Alliance and the Institute for Energy Research, joins the program. What did the Trump administration actually roll back in EPA regulations? Were EV mandates quietly being imposed through regulatory backdoors? Why are hybrid vehicles outperforming fully electric models in a true free-market environment? And did Toyota outsmart Detroit by refusing to chase political trends? From governance and urban decline to energy freedom and the realities of the auto industry, this hour challenges narratives and asks: What happens when policy overrides the marketplace?

Christians are a going people.Ever human-being longs to live with a sense of purpose or mission. But it can be easy to get caught up in strategies, methods, and outcomes while losing sight of the mission. In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out his disciples with sobering warnings as he calls them to mission. In this sermon, we explore how the essence of mission is not success or safety, but putting Jesus first—above safety, comfort, and even family.

In this landmark 60th episode, the 3-time award-winning duo of WWE Hall of Famer Devon Dudley and Duke Loves Rasslin tackle one of the most polarizing conversations in the industry today. This isn't just a wrestling breakdown; it's a "grown folk" conversation filled with nuance, history, and the intelligent perspective listeners have come to expect from Devon and Duke.The hosts dive deep into the recent controversy surrounding Kevin Nash's comments regarding WWE Superstar Je'Von Evans, where Nash suggested the young phenom should be less "Bojangles" and more "Urban."Inside this episode:The Nash Perspective: Devon Dudley draws on decades of personal experience working with Kevin Nash to provide context on the man behind the microphone. Devon explains why he firmly believes Nash is not a racist, citing a long, documented history of Nash supporting marginalized people and minorities in the business.Poor Delivery vs. Malice: Devon breaks down how a message intended for character development was poorly conveyed, leading to a disconnect between intent and impact.Accountability in Allyship: The Duke weighs in, arguing that while we shouldn't "throw the baby out with the bathwater" given Nash's history as a staunch ally to wrestlers of color, no one is exempt from accountability when they miss the mark.The Excellence of Je'Von Evans: Duke highlights how the 21-year-old Evans is the manifestation of generations of Black wrestlers who endured systemic racism. Because of their sacrifices, Evans is now judged solely on his "through the roof" talent—a talent that has seen him reach the WWE main roster in just two years.A Teachable Moment: The duo uses this situation to discuss broader themes of representation and assessment that apply to all walks of life.AJ Styles Retirement Scoop: In a shocking revelation, Devon Dudley shares that he has known about AJ Styles' retirement plans for months, revealing that the "Phenomenal One" personally told him early last winter that the end of his in-ring career was approaching quickly.This episode is a masterclass in how to have difficult conversations with maturity and respect. Whether you're a fan of the "Big Sexy" Kevin Nash, a supporter of the rising star Je'Von Evans, or just looking for the inside track on AJ Styles, this is a must-listen.#DevonAndTheDuke #KevinNash #JeVonEvans #AJStyles #WWE #WrestlingNews** Shop better hydration today.

Episode Topic: A Walk Through South Bend (https://go.nd.edu/0fe630)How can urban landscapes improve air and water quality, cool neighborhoods on a hot day, and support biodiversity? Watch as Deb Marr Ph.D., associate professor of biology at Indiana University South Bend, explore this question. Urban landscapes are more than backdrops — they reflect our history, knowledge, and affect the health of our communities in fundamental ways. The city of South Bend is working to nearly double our urban tree canopy coverage. In this talk we will explore ways that soil ecology and increasing tree canopy coverage can improve human health, as well as address the complex problems of climate change and loss of biodiversity. Deb will share some early data that we have on ways that soil ecology is affected by landscaping practices, and connections between landscape and carbon emissions.Featured Speakers:Deb Marr Ph.D., Associate Professor of Biology, Indiana University South Bend Read this episode's recap over on the University of Notre Dame's open online learning community platform, ThinkND: https://go.nd.edu/49f90d.This podcast is a part of the ThinkND Series titled Our Universe Revealed.

What does real community‑centered health equity look like, and what does it take to sustain it? In this episode of The Health Disparities Podcast, host Jerail Fennell sits down with two powerful leaders in community health: Dr. Atiya Abdelmalik and ReGina Newkirk Rucci. Together, they unpack the lived experiences, grassroots strategies, and relationship‑building that fuel their work across the country. From disrupting harmful systems to investing in local leadership, Dr. A and ReGina share what it truly means to listen to communities, partner with them, and build solutions that last. Drawing from their work with the Center for Thriving Communities, they discuss: Why lived experience is essential to leadership How grassroots organizations are transforming health outcomes The importance of listening before acting What funders and institutions must do differently Why hope, collective care, and community power still drive the movement How real relationships — not extractive engagement — create lasting change Dr. A also reflects on her book, A Life Worth Saving, and the belief that every life and every community deserves to thrive. A must‑hear conversation for anyone working in health equity, community engagement, philanthropy, public health, or systems change. Subscribe for more conversations on health equity, community leadership, and the movement to eliminate disparities.

So what's the real plan to fix it?In this episode, I sit down with Representative Dustin Manwaring to break down Idaho's Undergraduate Medical Education (UME) strategy, the proposed 36-month rollout, and how it intersects with the $1 billion Rural Health Transformation Grant.We talk through the core problem the working group set out to solve and what “Train Here, Stay Here, Grow Here” actually means in practice and how it connects with workforce pipelines, residency expansion, and long-term retention?We also dig into the definition of “rural.” Critical access hospitals? Small towns near metro hubs? Urban hospitals that support rural areas? How the taskforce defines rural will shape who benefits and how federal dollars are distributed.Plus:How the UME plan intersects with the $1B rural investmentWhat legislators are watching to ensure accountabilityWhether Idaho's low resident-to-medical-student ratio limits retentionThe future of WWAMI and how new legislation could shift seat allocationsWhether Idaho eventually needs its own full medical schoolIf this plan works, what will Idaho's physician landscape look like 10 years from now?This is a forward-looking conversation about workforce, access, and how policy decisions today shape healthcare for the next generation.Find Alexis on Instagram and JOIN in the conversation: https://www.instagram.com/the_idaho_lady/ JOIN the convo on Substack & STAY up-to-date with emails and posts https://substack.com/@theidaholady?r=5katbx&utm_campaign=profile&utm_medium=profile-page Send Alexis an email with guest requests, ideas, or potential collaboration.email@thealexismorgan.comFind great resources, info on school communities, and other current projects regarding public policy:https://www.thealexismorgan.com

In episode 247 of America Adapts, host Doug Parsons hosts Dr. Mekala Krishnan, partner at the McKinsey Global Institute, for an inside look at how one of the world's most influential private research institutions is approaching climate adaptation. Drawing from MGI's recent report, Advancing Adaptation, the conversation explores what it would actually cost to protect people and economies from escalating heat, flooding, drought, and wildfire — and why investment still falls short even when the economic case is strong.. The discussion also examines how ideas developed within a private firm travel into real-world decision-making, and why governance, leadership, and awareness remain critical to ensuring that new data and tools translate into action. For listeners working at the intersection of climate risk, finance, infrastructure, and policy, this episode offers a clear view into how the private sector is framing adaptation — and what that framing could mean for the future of the field. Key Themes Covered in This Episode Why the McKinsey Global Institute is focusing on adaptation now What it costs to respond to rising physical climate risk The resiliency gap and why investment remains insufficient How climate risk is entering mainstream economic thinking What large-scale adaptation models include — and exclude Governance, leadership, and awareness as scaling constraints The need for shared language between public and private actors Links & Resources from This Episode Advancing adaptation: How evolving hazards could shape the agenda Dr. Mekala Krishnan Ten key requirements for a systemic approach to climate adaptation For Educators & Students This episode is well-suited for courses on climate adaptation, environmental economics, climate risk management, corporate sustainability, public policy, or infrastructure finance. Key themes include physical risk modeling, cost-benefit analysis, capital allocation, governance constraints, and the expanding role of the private sector in adaptation. Professors are welcome to assign this episode or excerpts in syllabi.   Who Should Listen to This Episode Climate adaptation and resilience practitioners Corporate sustainability, risk, and strategy professionals Urban and regional planners working on long-term resilience Insurance, finance, and reinsurance professionals Researchers and students studying climate governance or environmental economics Government staff involved in adaptation planning Funders interested in scaling adaptation solutions Climate communicators bridging public and private perspectives ClimateTech Connect Conference Mentioned in the Episode!

In Drama of Democracy: Political Representation in Mumbai (U Minnesota Press, 2025), Lisa Björkman invites our attention to political form and how they allow us to appreciate the various mediums through which representation is negotiated. Drawing on a decade of research in the city of Mumbai closely following the movements of corporation election candidates, protesting crowds, political rally organisers, and social workers, the book maps the linguistic, visual, sonic, and semiotic tools used to construct the spectacle of democracy. It asks: how does the figure of the crowd subvert what euromodern conceptions of political representation? How do films and their constructions of the public, the organising of rallies, election season cash flows, garlanding, placards and slogans in protests inform new meanings of representation? Through this richly engaging and genre-breaking work, Bjorkman offers new ways – originating from Mumbai – to explain the reorganisation of political authority around the world. Lisa Björkman is an Associate Professor in Urban and Public Affairs at the University of Louisville. She is the author of Pipe Politics, Contested Waters: Embedded Infrastructures of Millennial Mumbai, Waiting Town: Life in Transit and Mumbai's Other World-Class Histories, and Bombay Brokers. Lisa is also a research associate at the Max Planck Institute for Social Anthropology in Halle. Raghavi Viswanath is a postdoctoral researcher and teaching fellow at SOAS, University of London. Her research, supported by the Leverhulme Trust, examines how pastoralists claim grazing rights under India's Forest Rights Act 2006 and how the everyday processes of staking such claims has been impacted by the authoritarian turn in India. LinkedIn.

Reach out and touch us: shiftlesslive@gmail.comThe hosts record at Casa Verde after recent technical issues and discuss upcoming Fam Food Adventure Memories dinners. Bike topics include Schwalbe entering the 32-inch tire market across mountain, gravel, and reportedly road, plus a rumor of a major brand debuting a 32-inch bike at Sea Otter. They discuss a theory that brands are trying to convert post-COVID gravel buyers who aren't “N+1” riders by offering more stable, confidence-inspiring mountain bikes to expand participation. They talk about the Salsa full-suspension gravel e-bike (Class 3, ~40 lb, 2.2" tires, ~50-mile range) with a high price, and debate who the market is for. They also review the Salsa Stormchaser (frameset vs complete pricing, sliding dropouts, ability to fit 2.2" tires) and discuss bottom bracket standards (criticizing press-fit). The episode covers New Jersey's new law treating any e-bike as a motorcycle (lights, mirror, DOT helmet, plate/registration, insurance) and predicts more sweeping enforcement elsewhere due to high-speed e-bike accidents. The conversation branches into parallels with the gun industry's COVID boom, long-range shooting training to 800 yards, safety and education, and how event organizers manage participant risk. They close with planning notes for Trinity Trio (moved to Sunday the 15th, ~100 miles full route) and conclude with the host heading to Whitesboro to document the kitchen and refrigeration setup.00:00 Mic Check Mayhem: Are We Actually Recording?00:38 Welcome to Shiftless at Casa Verde (Weather, Vibes, Pool Talk)01:21 What's on the Agenda: 32-inch Wheels, E-Bikes & New Laws02:43 FAM Food Adventure Memories Sponsor + Dinner Schedule Updates04:50 January Dinners Canceled: Snow Forecasts, Ice, and Event Chaos07:11 Gravel Road Conditions After the Storm: Potholes, Chunk & Predictions10:21 February 28 FAM Dinner Promo + Menu Tease12:38 Sbarro in New York: The ‘Good Slice' Misunderstanding Storytime16:58 Back to Bikes: Schwalbe Enters 32-Inch Tires + Road/UCI Speculation18:37 The Big Theory: Turning Gravel Newbies into N+1 Riders via MTB22:13 Training Slump & Sick Weeks: Getting Back on the Bike23:16 Salsa Stormchaser Deep Dive: Dropouts, 2.2" Clearance & Build Options28:39 New Salsa Wander: Full-Suspension Gravel E-Bike Arrives29:13 Teal Talk & First Impressions of Salsa's New Gravel E‑Bike30:02 Specs Breakdown: Range, Weight, Tires, Class 3 Speed—and the $13K Question33:46 Salsa Lineup Rumors: Warbird, Spearfish, Name Changes & What's “Coming Soon”35:47 All‑Road vs Gravel: Surly Midnight Special, Industry Identity Crisis & COVID Hangover36:47 SHOT Show Parallels: Forecasting, N+1 Culture, and the ‘Year of the Suppressor'40:15 Range Life: Long‑Range Qualification, Training Layers, and Why Suppressors Rule47:00 Insurance, Scuba Tragedy & Event Risk—From Cave Diving Rules to Gravel Shenanigans54:05 Running Safer Gravel Events: New Rider Handholding, Self‑Responsibility & 101 Clinics01:00:12 Beginner Progression: Gear Overwhelm, Skill Layering, and Building a Real Training Program01:03:09 Back to Riding: Garmin Recovery Shock & Texas Chainring Massacre Weather Check01:05:05 Windy, deceptively cold night ride (wet bulb & layering mistakes)01:06:45 Whitesboro food service plan + kitchen/fridge scouting01:07:54 Locking in March dates & moving Trinity Trio to Sunday01:09:06 Trinity Trio route breakdown: Gateway–Sansom–River Legacy mileage01:09:48 What bike (or e-bike) works?

Adam, Joanna, and Zach respond to a listener question about urban wineries and tasting rooms.

Christians are a going people.Every human being longs to be part of something bigger than themselves. In Matthew 9:35-10:15, Jesus looks at the crowds with compassion and sends his disciples out to proclaim the kingdom, thus calling them into a vast and compelling mission. In this sermon, we explore how God's people are to be a "going" people, sent into the world to further Christ's cause.
