Trump has been excellent on deportations, but we need to understand what Trump is up against with removing illegals. Having to knock down walls to get these people out, it takes time. A positive of social media is that you can reach your politicians, they live on social media too. Senator Jim Justice had to back track on his attack on Trump’s immigration policy because of you.

Send us Fan MailParks Manager Steve Gustafson joins the show to discuss how the Parks Department has limited its use of water to follow drought restrictions throughout the summer. Steve also explains why some City parks, athletic fields and golf courses will continue watering into October despite Denver Water's ban on residential lawn watering that goes into effect on Oct. 1. Included in this episode: How the Parks Department has reduced its water use by 20% with smart irrigation, weather stations, and prioritization Why trees and shrubs count as high-value green infrastructure How the City's two golf courses, West Woods and Lake Arbor, are limiting and prioritizing its water use during drought restrictionsWhat drought damage looks like in parks, from brown patches to more weeds How soil history changes turf performance across different parks How native grasses and fescues can reduce long-term water demand Winter watering tips for young trees, including 10 gallons per inch of diameter How computerized irrigation detects leaks, alarms, and mainline breaks Practical weed control options beyond chemicals, from pulling to mechanical removal News and events: Our Movies Around Town series wraps up Friday, Oct. 9 at Clear Creek Valley Park with a free showing of our People's Choice Movie Poll winner, "The Nightmare Before Christmas."

Have you ever experienced the joy of unblocking a drain? I know, I know. But if you know, you know…it’s satisfying! Not least because a blocked drain is the opposite of satisfying. We’re not going to focus on blocked drains in this episode of The Gentle Rebel Podcast, don’t worry. It’s just a metaphor for what happens sometimes in life, when things that feel like they’re supposed to be free-flowing get stuck, festering in a stagnant pool of unwanted water. Sometimes something gets stuck because stuff around it jams it. Sometimes we might even put that stuff there ourselves, not realising it doesn’t really fit…or help. I’ve often added so much around the edges of a meaningful endeavour or important project that it eventually comes to a grinding halt because it becomes so overly complicated. I love planning. Sometimes a bit too much. I love planning. I love making systems and creating templates. When I was at school, I liked making revision timetables so much that I ran out of time to actually revise because I was too busy planning. I love dreaming up everything that could happen. Those dreams can get derailed under the weight of their plans. This year I’ve been experimenting with paring back parts of life that have become over-complex, and making space for my tendency to add complexity when I notice that temptation arises. I’ve also been trying to create breathing room to simplify after complexity has occurred, before committing it to anything concrete or permanent. Because I’ve also noticed that sometimes complexity is actually a necessary part of the process. Shutting it down as soon as it starts might mean pulling the plug on something that could be important later. So I don’t want to do that. The key is recognising that complexity might simply be part of what is going on under the soil for a while, rather than something that means I ought to rewrite every page on my website, add new channels and announce my commitment to a bunch of things that are both impossible and undesirable to maintain once I eventually strip back to the simple heart of things at the right moment. I stopped overcomplicating change I’ve been to Finland twice this year. The first trip involved gout threat, a painful shoulder injury caused by reaching for a seatbelt, and a realisation when I got home that something needed to change. I’d been trying to improve my health and fitness for years. But this time I decided to keep things small and simple rather than following an elaborate plan. Things Change But Not Necessarily On Our Timetable You may be familiar with the idea behind Gates’s law: We overestimate what can happen in the short term and underestimate what can happen in the long term. Over the past five months, I’ve seen a lot of progress with my weight and fitness. In large part because I’ve kept it small and simple, resisting the urge to overcomplicate things, make elaborate plans and build complicated systems and processes. Something just sort of clicked in April. Along with a meaningful motivation, it’s the fact that I haven’t got in my own way by demanding too much, too fast. The Pressure We Put on Quick Fixes When I’m motivated to change and thinking about it a lot, I want it now. The more urgently I want change to happen, the more likely I am to overengineer the process. And that’s what drives me to make elaborate plans to get as much done in as little time as possible. Not only does this risk burning the desire out, but it can also divert important resources from other parts of life, leading to a compounding negative effect. Simplicity can be a strategy for change So how do we stop ourselves from adding complexity to systems that just need time to blossom? The big secret? I guess it’s about being patient. Oh wow. How boring. Yeah, I know. Sorry. It’s also about avoiding overplanning and making everything elaborately complex. Oh, but I really like making detailed plans and timetables. I know! Sorry. We’re going to need to find other ways to scratch that itch, because I’ll concede it is a fun one to go at. Environmental Sensitivity and The Impact of Small Things For highly sensitive people, this might matter even more. Research into differential susceptibility shows that people with sensory processing sensitivity can be more strongly affected by their surroundings, both positively and negatively. When we add layers of complexity around our goals, we can create cognitive chaos: a foggy mess of stimulation that eventually leads us to check out and pull the plug on the goal altogether. On the other hand, a few simple habits and environmental cues can have a surprisingly positive effect. This doesn’t mean that highly sensitive people need empty lives. Complexity is sometimes unavoidable, and sometimes valuable. It means that unnecessary complexity can have a disproportionately large effect when we’re already processing a lot. If you’re struggling to let something flow without blocking the drain with too much planning and complexity, you might try… 1. Protecting your energy more than your schedule For me, planning has often meant time-blocking activities on the calendar and assuming I can switch gears and get things done during an allotted window. I’ve done this many, many times, even though I know it’s not how I function best. It always feels like a nice ideal. But patience is a resource that requires energy. If you overcomplicate your process with rigid trackers, strict rules and unnecessary concrete time commitments, you drain your mental battery. Simplicity can be a strategic choice because it preserves the energy patience requires. Identifying one or two actions you’re committed to doing without tying them to a specific timetable means you can match your available energy to the action. And it takes the pressure off doing it every day. Right now, I generally like running three times a week: Tuesday, Thursday, and Sunday are my placeholder days. But this is subject to change. One is enough to move me in the direction I want. I won’t go more than three times in a week. I’ve figured out what works best for me. I don’t think it would be quite so good if I said, “Right, I’m getting up at 5:30 every morning to work out.” I would resist that kind of injunction, and would have given up months ago. If it feels like a rule, it is there to be broken. 2. Watering the seed rather than digging it up When we don’t see results in a week or two, our instinct might be to change the plan. We might tweak the dial, add something new, buy a different running programme or rewrite the habit tracker. Every time we do this, we interrupt the consistency that allows small changes to accumulate. Patience is about trusting the process of consistency. It’s about getting those basic, ridiculously small and simple habits in place and then keeping the proverbial seed watered. For a while, we don’t see the fruits of that seed. It’s just trusting that it is growing beneath the soil. If measuring things motivates you, find alternative measures in the short run. Notice how something feels. Notice what else might be changing as you go. Tick off each time you do something that contributes to the broader goal. In other words, track the thing that helps you water the seed, rather than trying to track the progress of the seed itself when you can’t yet see what’s happening underneath the soil. 3. Keeping a mirror for your progress I’ve heard people talk about “arrival amnesia”. Along with underestimating what can change over the long term, we often underestimate what has already changed. I definitely forget how far I’ve come and how quickly I can adapt to new normals. This is one reason I find journaling so useful. Looking back at old entries can show me the difference between what was going on then and what is happening now. It highlights the things I can’t imagine not having today, but that grew so gradually over time that I almost took them for granted. And how some things change simply because I get out of the way and let them change, one day at a time. We don’t always need a plan, a system, or a process. We just need to identify the small, simple thing that makes a difference. And keep doing that whenever we can and as often as we’ve decided works best.

Most leaders assume a toxic culture means bad people — but the leaders who turn it around know it usually means nobody's been tending the garden. Leaders inheriting a toxic culture face a familiar temptation: fix it fast, or avoid naming what's actually broken. Phil EuBank, Lead Pastor of Menlo Church, has led two church staff turnarounds — one in Colorado, one currently underway at Menlo Church— and shares what actually moves the needle versus what just feels like progress. This conversation covers honest measurement, difficult transitions, and the daily discipline healthy culture actually requires. You'll Gain Insight On Why culture assessments fail when leaders treat them as a checkbox instead of a growth tool The four-part framework for identifying where your team members stand on cultural change How to inherit a toxic culture without scapegoating the leaders who came before you Why full transparency with survey results builds more trust than a curated summary
Today, John Norlin and Houston Kraft mark the launch of Season 9 of the CharacterStrong Podcast by digging into a framework that was unpacked this summer around what it actually takes to cultivate the conditions where students and adults can thrive. They also reflect on what nine seasons of conversations with educators have made clear, that the leaders who create lasting change share three consistent traits: they are passionate about the work, they build systems rather than chase goals, and they stay with it long after the initial energy fades. In this conversation, John and Houston offer important reminders for educators and leaders: Before adding anything new, leaders have to ask what needs to be removed first. Invasive ideas and programs crowd out the things that are actually meant to thrive. Preparation precedes growth. Watering the soil before planting, building belonging and culture before instruction begins, changes what is possible once the work starts. The initiatives worth investing in are the ones that give back as much as they take. If something only costs the people doing it, it will not last. Passion, systems, and persistence are the through line across nine seasons of educators doing work that matters. Goals without systems and staying power rarely move the needle.

It's another Listener Mail episode on High on Home Grown, and this week the community has come up with some brilliant questions about the real cost of growing, harvesting, watering difficult plants, recycling soil and whether we've somehow managed to make growing cannabis far more complicated than it needs to be! We start by looking at the true cost of growing cannabis, with the panel comparing what their current setups cost and how much they've spent throughout their growing careers. We also introduce a new feature: Grow Gripe of the Week, where everyone gets the chance to have a proper moan about something that gets under their skin, from equipment and seeds to the cannabis community, laws and anything else deserving of a rant! We then get into harvest time, discussing different ways of preparing plants before drying and whether it's better to remove the larger leaves, hang the whole plant, or use drying racks. We also tackle the eternal problem of watering a thick SCROG, because apparently growing enormous horizontal plants wasn't difficult enough without having to crawl underneath them with a watering can. Another listener asks about reusing outdoor soil indoors without bringing pests along for the ride, leading to a discussion about recycling growing media and the potential pitfalls of moving soil from outside into a controlled indoor environment. Finally, we tackle a question that fits perfectly with our recent Grow Guides: when did growing cannabis become so bloody complicated? With VPD, DLI, PPFD, EC, automated irrigation and enough sensors to launch a small space programme, are all these tools genuinely making us better growers, or are we simply overthinking a plant that has been growing quite happily without a spreadsheet? And to finish things off, we discuss one of the hardest lessons for any grower to learn: when should you actually fix a problem, and when should you just leave the bloody plant alone? Plus, there's the all-important question of how far each panel member would travel for a truly decent burger. Priorities.
The Conversation is BACK, and in this episode, we have a great grower interview for ya with @papa_scrogs. He's an experienced novice who is learning to use the force. We discuss how cannabis can reveal you to yourself, so be prepared for some higher level thinking or at least thinking while high. Plus much more!

The town of Mancos is issuing citations as mandatory watering restrictions continue amid drought and heavy demand on the town's water system.
It's another Listener Mail episode on High on Home Grown, and this week the community has sent us some fantastic questions covering cannabis genetics, growing myths, extracts, outdoor growing and the eternal battle against the breeder's timeline! We kick things off with a fascinating question about the explosion of new cannabis crosses and whether we're eventually going to reach a point where every strain starts becoming some generic hybrid, with less of the individuality that made classic cultivars so memorable. We also investigate an old piece of growing advice about leaving water out for 24 hours to "de-gas" it. Is there actually anything to it, or is this simply another bit of grow-room folklore? We then get into cannabis extracts, including RSO and MCT oil, and discuss whether less traditionally sedating cultivars such as Jack Herer or CBD-rich varieties are worth using for extracts. There's also a big outdoor-growing question about finishing plants late in the season without losing everything to botrytis, covering what growers can realistically do when autumn brings rain, dew, cold temperatures and high humidity. Finally, we tackle the frustration of a plant that refuses to follow the breeder's schedule! What does it actually mean when an auto advertised as 63 days is still going strong at day 80? We discuss why breeder timelines aren't guarantees, what can influence flowering time, and whether there's anything growers can realistically do when a plant simply needs longer to finish. And naturally, Lobby Lobster has returned with another vital contribution to science: is shortbread a biscuit or a bread, and why isn't sourdough actually sour? Another great episode of community questions, growing knowledge, myths, science and the usual High on Home Grown nonsense.
I compare all 4 methods for watering houseplants to determine which one you should be using.

Genesis 24 is one of the most richly layered stories in all of Scripture, and once we see the deeper picture it paints, it becomes impossible to read it the same way again. On the surface, it is the story of a faithful servant sent on a long journey to find a bride for his master's son. But beneath that, it is nothing less than a portrait of redemption itself. The unnamed servant mirrors the role of the Holy Spirit, who never draws attention to himself but points always toward the Son. The father who sends him reflects God the Father. And Isaac, waiting at home, represents Christ. Every detail, from the servant's humble prayer at the well to the extravagant gifts he carries, speaks to the lengths God goes to in pursuit of his bride. That bride, it turns out, is us. We are Rebekah in this story. And understanding that changes everything about how we see our worth, our calling, and the love God has lavished on us.## Sermon Notes: Genesis 24 — “I Will Go”### Main Text: Genesis 24 Genesis 24 tells the story of Abraham sending his servant to find a bride for Isaac. Pastor Rick presented this as a picture of God's redemptive plan.### 1. The Redemptive Picture in Genesis 22–24- **Genesis 22:** Abraham offers Isaac on Mount Moriah, pointing to the Father giving His Son, Jesus, at Calvary.- **Genesis 23:** Sarah dies, picturing Israel as the bride connected to the Father.- **Genesis 24:** The unnamed servant is sent to find a bride for the son, picturing the Holy Spirit calling the Church, the Bride of Christ.### 2. Abraham's Servant: Faithful and Humble- The servant is likely Eliezer, Abraham's longtime servant.- Though Isaac's birth cost him the inheritance, he remained faithful.- He does not seek attention for himself; he seeks success for his master.- This reflects the Holy Spirit, who testifies of Christ and glorifies the Son.### 3. Isaac Must Not Go Back- Abraham commands the servant not to take Isaac back to Abraham's former land.- God had promised the land to Abraham's offspring.- The bride must choose to come, but the son will not return to the old land.- This mirrors the call of Christ: “Forsake all and follow Me.”### 4. Rebekah's Choice- The servant prays for a clear sign: a woman who offers him water and waters his camels.- Before he finishes praying, Rebekah appears.- She is generous, diligent, and willing to serve.- Watering ten camels could have required 200–300 gallons of water.- The servant recognizes God's guidance and worships.### 5. “Do Not Delay Me”- Rebekah's family wants her to stay ten more days.- The servant insists that if God has prospered the way, they should not delay.- Rebekah is asked directly, and she responds: **“I will go.”**- This is the heart of the sermon: when God calls, our answer should be immediate obedience.### 6. We Are Rebekah- Rebekah represents the Bride of Christ.- The Holy Spirit calls us and gives us gifts as a preview of what is to come.- God sees His people as beautiful, loved, and chosen.- The story points forward to the marriage supper of the Lamb.## Practical Applications- Do not delay obedience when the Holy Spirit calls.- Stop looking back after putting your hand to the plow.- Serve faithfully even when there is no personal reward.- Trust God's guidance, even when the journey is long.- Remember: in Christ, God sees you as His beloved bride, not as your failures.## Discussion Questions1. What stood out to you most from the picture of Abraham, Isaac, the servant, and Rebekah?2. Why is delayed obedience so tempting?3. What does Rebekah's “I will go” teach us about faith?4. In what area might God be asking you to stop delaying?5. How does seeing yourself as the Bride of Christ change the way you view God's love?
Presented by Lauren Stibgen One who waters will himself be watered. Walking in a manner worthy of the Lord is what the Proverbs are all about! Shifting our focus from what God hates in Proverbs six to Proverbs 11:25b which can be summarized by a secular proverb, “what goes around comes around.” I like the biblical version much better, one who waters will himself be watered. This is a beautiful thought to carry with you to work each day as we think about others around us. Watering is not to be left to managers and leaders in the workplace. And, after all, this proverb benefits both the waterer and the watered. Let's think about the results of watering for a moment. Whether rain falls from the sky or we are using another method to water something like a houseplant, the result is growth, and in some cases new life. Plants can bear beauty in flowers, or vegetables and fruits for us to eat. I also think about when it rains in the desert. Not only do plants sprout up, but wadies (or dried up riverbeds) come to life with animals and even aquatic life like frogs that have been dormant waiting for the rain. Who or what needs watering at work? Sometimes we don't even realize things need water! I have had two different conversations with fellow Christian working women this year where I suggested they water what otherwise seemed dead. More specifically, one woman wanted more affirmation from her manager. She knew she was trusted by the work that was given to her but never received feedback. When I asked if she thought her manager received affirmation, the answer was probably not. I suggested that she “water” her manager with some positive feedback. You see, some people aren't in the practice of watering until they are watered themselves! She stated this watering had very positive results! The other woman felt the same about receiving no feedback. So, she decided to write notes of gratitude to all her colleagues. She watered an entire department! While too soon to know if she will be watered in return, the initial responses were very positive. Who can you water at work with kind words or an act of service? God promises you will be watered in return. The Proverbs can help remind us that God wants us to walk with integrity at work. Clearly there are things he doesn't want us to do. But there are things we can do to increase our integrity at work each day!

Send us Fan MailYou can work hard, build skill, and do all the right “business” things and still feel stuck on one question: how do we actually increase? We take that question head-on and reframe it through a faith-based business lens that is both practical and uncomfortable. Yes, we believe in strategy, consistency, and craft. But we also believe there's a line where hustle turns into pressure, and pressure turns into shortcuts.We break down the principle of increase using the simple picture of planting and watering. Planting is the builder's work: planning, technique, detail, and a blueprint you can repeat. Watering is the quiet discipline of nurture: care, support, and patience while what you built takes root. Together, those are real responsibilities in Christian entrepreneurship and ethical business growth, but they still don't guarantee the outcome we want on our timeline.Then we challenge the scoreboard most people use for business success: acceptance, recognition, titles, authority, and money. What if those aren't the best measures of growth? What if God defines increase by obedience, and what looks “slow” is actually protection from a future collapse? If you've been tempted to cut corners just to make profit, this will reset your process and your priorities.Subscribe, share this with a friend building something honest, and leave a review so more people can find the show.

But now, with massive commercial farms, genetically modified crops, refrigerated freight and modern irrigation, we don't need to tend to our own gardens to survive.So why, then, do so many of us still lovingly plant, water and cultivate flowers, fruits and vegetables? Or watch 'lawn porn' to relax?It's a question that Hannah Moloney has asked thousands of gardeners from around the world.Hannah is a permaculture educator, landscape designer and the Tasmanian presenter for ABC TV's Gardening Australia.

Two women, same expertise, same platform. One chased virality. One watered relationships. Only one built a business. Karen breaks down why daily posting, chasing algorithms, and "vanity visibility" leave your calendar empty no matter how many likes you rack up — and introduces the 3-2-0 ritual, a small, repeatable, relationship-first practice for turning LinkedIn visibility into real, booked calls. Key Takeaways Vanity visibility — posting more, chasing trends, checking your numbers — grows followers, not clients. The 3-2-0 ritual: three 20-minute sessions a week focused on conversations, not content. Real relationships — comments, follow-ups, genuine congratulations — are what actually create calls on your calendar. Your years of expertise mean 20 focused minutes outweigh a beginner's four hours of hustling. Consistency compounds. Applause doesn't. If this episode hit home, subscribe to Good Girls Get Rich and share it with a woman in your life who's exhausted from posting with nothing to show for it. And grab your free seat in Karen's masterclass at she'slinkedup.com/masterclass. Magical Quotes From The Episode: "Visibility was never a lightning strike to keep chasing — it's a garden."
