On this Memorial Day weekend, we honor those who gave their lives for our freedom—and we turn to the One who gave His life to set us free forever. The Rev. Reagan Cocke reflects on Jesus' promise to make His home with us and send the Holy Spirit as our constant Helper and Advocate. Drawing from personal testimony and John 14, he reminds us that we are never alone—Christ is with us in our struggles, our service, and our suffering. Even now, in the space between D-Day and VE Day, between the Cross and Christ's return, we live with the assurance of victory and the peace that the world cannot give.

On May 8, 2025, the MM in partnership with the Holocaust Commission of the United Jewish Federation of Tidewater and the Virginia Holocaust Museum, hosted Dr. Roger Loria, a holocaust survivor. The event was particularly poignant – it was held on the 80th anniversary of V-E Day – the day the Allies defeated Nazi Germany. A video of the presentation is also available via YouTube: https://youtu.be/nltcQ4eKIgU?si=qsTn9-DI2gZ5qp-u  Have a comment about this episode?

Irish bells, to kick things off, to celebrate Oyster on her seventh birthday like the bells worn around her neck as she runs free at her favourite place. It's our post-election Mixed Bag show on Outlook this week, until the next one when sister/co-host Kerry and Regular co-host Barry can hopefully be back in studio with brother/co-host Brian. In the meantime, it's early May and we're looking back on the recent federal Canadian election after we discussed voting accessibility, amongst other things, on the pre-election episode from a few weeks back. Brian kicks things off sharing about ambulance rides and stitches with his evening adventures in emerge and we share our plan to get him to wear a helmet. We're looking back on and Brian explains what made him emotional about a recent “Blind Baseball” episode, a review of recent Elections Canada voting accessibility, and about public vs private as Canada goes forward with our new prime minister on the world stage. We also describe double-sided ice cream cones while navigating and getting turned around (like anyone who takes a wrong turn) as we found ourselves using structure discovery at Oyster's park, using terms like “structure discovery” or “shore lining” to explain how we, as blind people, get around (a blueprint for being blind) - our discussions this week are all about getting lost and found again including mobility, accessibility, and the multi-sensory with Oyster bells and church bells. Fifth day of the fifth month, 2025 as we talk marking the occasion of Red Dress Day on Turtle Island and anniversaries, including it being the eightieth anniversary of Victory In Europe (or VE Day), during the same week, along with guide dog Oyster's birthday. We're celebrating, in Ireland, with a delicious lemon cake, which we eat to honour Oyster. Along with all that, the ideal absence of wars, the kinds which sweep disabled people up in the danger and the chaos humans perpetuate with these things, we at Outlook instead honour guide dogs and peace in this month of May.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageWhat can the pivotal moments of World War II teach us about our rapidly changing world today? Drawing from Victor Davis Hanson's masterful work "The Second World Wars," we explore how three unexpected events in 1941 transformed separate regional conflicts into a global catastrophe—and why similar world-altering shifts might be happening right now.As we recently marked the 80th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day, this episode examines why remembering this history matters more than ever. VE Day represents not just military triumph, but the defense of democracy and freedom against tyranny. For those seeking deeper understanding, we recommend Herman Wouk's epic novels "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance," along with the landmark documentary series "The World at War"—works that capture both the sweeping historical events and deeply personal experiences of this transformative period.Hanson's analysis reveals how technological shifts rapidly altered the course of the war, with aircraft carriers rendering battleships obsolete almost overnight. This serves as a powerful parallel to our current moment, as we face potentially world-changing developments: unprecedented political shifts in America, the election of the first American-born Pope, and an AI revolution that may require new ethical frameworks similar to how Pope Leo XIII addressed industrialization with Rerum Novarum in 1891. Are the winds of change gathering force again? This episode challenges us to learn from history's patterns so we can better navigate our increasingly uncertain future.Key Points from the Episode:• VE Day (May 8, 1945) marked Nazi Germany's defeat and remains relevant as a reminder of war's costs and democracy's value• Herman Wouk's "The Winds of War" and "War and Remembrance" provide immersive understanding of WWII through personal stories and historical context• "The World at War" documentary remains the gold standard for understanding the conflict through powerful storytelling and rare footage• World War II demonstrates how quickly technological shifts can occur - battleships became obsolete as aircraft carriers dominated naval warfare• Today's potential pivotal shifts include unprecedented US political changes, the first American-born Pope, and the AI revolution• Historical patterns suggest we may be witnessing another period of rapid transformation similar to the world-altering events of 1941Remember history so we are not blinded by those who misinterpret it, and honor the sacrifices made during World War II.Other resources: MM#231--American MasterpieceMM#234--RememberMM#257--Land Ho, The digital revolution is hereWorld at war documentary (watch the first 5 minutes)Want to leave a review?

Nazi Germany had finally been defeated. And, for 24 hours, Britons could let their hair down and celebrate. But not everyone was in the mood to party.

Here, in conversation with Spencer Mizen, he discusses what these testimonies reveal about the state of mind of a nation after six long years of war.

Victory in Europe Day brought the curtain down on a horrific conflict that decimated a continent and upended the world. But the price of victory over fascism was impossibly high. Many millions had been killed, and vast areas of Europe had been all but destroyed. VE Day signalled the end of Nazi Germany, and yet the war on the Pacific Front was still raging, and Stalin was already tightening his grip on what would become the Eastern Bloc. Meanwhile, many of the countries that had joined the fight against Hitler were left broken, bankrupt, and lawless. So, what did it take for the war to finally end? How was news of Germany's surrender spread and received? And amid the devastation, how do the continent's citizens celebrate and look forward with optimism?  This is a Short History Of VE Day. A Noiser production, written by Martin McNamara.
