May we seek not so much to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love, that in pardoning we may be pardoned, and in giving we may receive. We pray for our President, for our Congress, for our homes, our people, our children, our brokenhearted, that we may be reverent in the use of freedom, just in the exercise of power, generous in the protection of weakness, merciful to those who have been our enemies. Not for our worthiness, but because of Thy tender mercy hear our prayer that we may so pass through things temporal as not to lose the things eternal, O Christ Jesus, Our Lord.Monsignor Fulton Sheen on The Catholic Hour (published 1946)All opinions expressed on LOOPcast by the participants are their own and do not necessarily reflect the opinions of CatholicVote.

Today's convo is a wedding planning strategy GEM!  We're going to cover every single last little thing that should be included within your wedding venue contract.  If you've already booked a venue and signed a contract, I'd suggest pulling out your actual document & sticking around for today's convo to be sure that all the key items are addressed. Your wedding venue is literally the centerpiece of your dream wedding celebration.  It's also likely the most expensive decision you'll make throughout the course of your engagement, so we need to be extra cautious in getting the details cemented just right.   Enjoy early access to ad-free episodes each week when you subscribe to WEDDING PLANNING PODCAST PREMIUM in Apple Podcasts.

This morning we examine the counter-intuitive increase in the desire to convert to Judaism in the face of the alarming rise of antisemitism here and around the world. I share an moving explanation from a wedding in Israel last week at which I had the privilege to officiate. Michael Whitman is the senior rabbi of ADATH Congregation in Hampstead, Quebec, and an adjunct professor at McGill University Faculty of Law. ADATH is a modern orthodox synagogue community in suburban Montreal, providing Judaism for the next generation. We take great pleasure in welcoming everyone with a warm smile, while sharing inspiration through prayer, study, and friendship. Rabbi Whitman shares his thoughts and inspirations through online lectures and shiurim, which are available on: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5FLcsC6xz5TmkirT1qObkA Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/adathmichael/ Podcast - Mining the Riches of the Parsha: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/mining-the-riches-of-the-parsha/id1479615142?fbclid=IwAR1c6YygRR6pvAKFvEmMGCcs0Y6hpmK8tXzPinbum8drqw2zLIo7c9SR-jc Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3hWYhCG5GR8zygw4ZNsSmO Please contact Rabbi Whitman (rabbi@adath.ca) with any questions or feedback, or to receive a daily email, "Study with Rabbi Whitman Today," with current and past insights for that day, video, and audio, all in one short email sent directly to your inbox.

Ghost and Ashe in America take viewers deep into Episode 5 of The Chosen, “The Wedding Gift,” unpacking its rich symbolism, biblical foundations, and character-driven storytelling. The episode opens with Mary and Joseph searching for the young Jesus in the Temple, setting the stage for themes of timing, calling, and divine purpose. At the wedding in Cana, Ghost and Ashe walk scene-by-scene through cultural traditions, the honor-based social dynamics, and the added character arcs that build toward Jesus' first public miracle. They explore the tension between practicality and faith through Thomas, the emotional weight of social shame for Dinah and Rafi, and the textured worldbuilding woven into every choice, from hospitality norms to the meaning of wine and the winepress throughout Scripture. The hosts also dive into one of the episode's most powerful additions: the electrifying, invented conversation between Nicodemus and John the Baptist, where prophecy, skepticism, and spiritual hunger collide. With humor, insight, and a touch of reverence, Ghost and Ashe guide viewers through the layered storytelling that makes this episode a standout in Season 1.

On this one Jared and I sat down with our friend Ryan Teague from Feather and Finch Photography all the way on the Gold Coast of Australia. Ryan is one of those rare photographers who has been wildly “successful” on paper, shooting 120 plus weddings a year, and still had the courage to ask if any of it actually lined up with the life he wanted.We talk about falling in and out of love with photography, what it does to your heart to be a dad to a son with special needs, why surfing every sunrise might be a better business plan than your current workflow, and how much more powerful your work becomes when you stop trying to impress the internet and start trying to really serve the people in front of your lens.If you have ever looked at your own work and thought “this came too easy, is it really worth what I am charging” or felt that quiet little pull to slow down and be more present, this episode is going to hit you in the best way.In this episode we get into:The 120 weddings a year seasonHow Ryan built a fast growing brand on the Gold Coast, what it felt like when the work was almost too easy, and why that started to mess with his sense of value.Falling out of love and finding it againThe honest side of running your own business for years, the seasons where you could not care less about picking up a camera, and the small shifts that brought him back.Rethinking “candid” and “documentary”Ryan talks about how couples use these words, what they actually expect on the wedding day, and how he now has very specific conversations up front so the experience matches the marketing.Empathy first, ego secondWe talk about the difference between being the entertainer at the center of the room and being the quiet presence that makes the room feel safe, and why he is willing to sacrifice a perfect frame if it means his couple stays grounded.Meditative portraits and quiet framesHow music, stillness, and silence shape the way Ryan shoots portraits, why he chases “quiet” images, and what it looks like to invite a couple into a slower, more intentional moment on their wedding day.Parenting, disability, and a very different true northRyan shares how being a dad to a ten year old with cerebral palsy and autism has completely changed his priorities and made it very hard to care about the little vanity games we all get sucked into in this industry.Designing a slower life on purposeSunrise surf sessions, short office days, training, and building a rhythm that actually supports his health and his family instead of constantly demanding more from them.Aftercast preview inside PHOTOCOIn the Aftercast for members we dig into the actual questions Ryan asks his couples, how he prepares them for a more meditative experience, and how he is thinking about storytelling over an entire wedding day as his style shifts.Listen to more episodes and read the show notesPhotographic Collective Podcast homehttps://www.mileswittboyer.com/podcastJoin PHOTOCO and get the Aftercast with RyanPhotographic Collective membership and training platformhttps://www.mileswittboyer.com/photoLearn more about the Photographic Collective communityhttps://www.mileswittboyer.com/photographic-collectiveFeather and Finch Photographyhttps://www.featherandfinchphotography.com.auFeather and Finch on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/featherandfinchphotographyMiles Witt BoyerWebsitehttps://www.mileswittboyer.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/mileswittboyerJared Mark FincherWebsitehttps://www.jaredmarkfincher.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/jaredmarkfincherIf you are new around here, the Photographic Collective Podcast is basically Jared and me sitting down with people we really respect and pulling on the threads that actually matter.

"I AM A WIFE." In this episode, our host and her HUSBAND talk about their wedding weekend along with their wedding night! 

Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with Academy Award-nominated writer, actor, director, and producer Nia Vardalos. From her one-woman show in a tiny Los Angeles theater to creating one of the highest-grossing independent movies of all time, Nia's path shows what happens when you refuse to give up on your story.The Topline She Carried for 24 Years (01:36) Kevin reveals that Nia has carried the original test screening results from My Big Fat Greek Wedding in her wallet for over 24 years. Kevin shares why the film isn't allowed to be referenced at his company, not because it was bad, but because it was such an unprecedented outlier that had no business doing what it did, except that it was "so damn good."Second City Training and Seizing the Moment (04:40) Nia traces her journey from Shakespearean training at Ryerson to discovering improv.From Rejection to the Stage (19:15) When Nia couldn't get her screenplay read, she rented a small theater and performed her story for audiences who kept coming back. She shares how she placed a $500 ad in the Los Angeles Times that caught Rita Wilson's attention.Rita Wilson, Tom Hanks, and Unwavering Loyalty (26:51) When Rita Wilson saw the show, her first words were "I love you." When she said, "this should be a movie," Nia instantly handed her the screenplay so fast that “her hair flew back." The result: $241.4 million domestic, $368.7 million worldwide.14 Hours Notice to Motherhood (35:53) After years of fertility treatments, Nia received just 14 hours notice to adopt a daughter from foster care. She talks about the trials, and the joys of motherhood and adoption.Academy Award Nomination (39:35) On the morning of her Best Original Screenplay nomination, Nia was driving through rain to a fertility clinic when her best friend called first with the news.Returning to Theater (48:38) Nia returned to her theatrical roots with Tiny Beautiful Things, adapted from Cheryl Strayed's book and directed by Hamilton's Thomas Kail. The play became a New York Times Critics' Pick and was licensed in 250+ productions worldwide. She recently performed it in Greek in Athens at a 1,500-seat theater.Nia Vardalos proves that Hollywood's greatest success stories don't always follow the expected path. Sometimes they start with a $300 theater rental and an unshakeable belief in your own voice. If you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a review and share. We look forward to bringing you more behind-the-scenes revelations next time on Don't Kill the Messenger.Host: Kevin GoetzGuest: Nia VardalosProducer: Kari CampanoWriters: Kevin Goetz, Darlene Hayman, and Kari CampanoAudio Engineer: Gary Forbes (DG Entertainment)For more information about Nia Vardalos:Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nia_VardalosIMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0889522/Instagram: For more information about Kevin Goetz:- Website: www.KevinGoetz360.com- Audienceology Book: https://www.simonandschuster.com/books/Audience-ology/Kevin-Goetz/9781982186678- How to Score in Hollywood: https://www.amazon.com/How-Score-Hollywood-Secrets-Business/dp/198218986X/- Facebook, X, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, Substack: @KevinGoetz360- LinkedIn @Kevin Goetz- Screen Engine/ASI Website: www.ScreenEngineASI.com

Is your website silently sabotaging your sales? In this episode of the I Do Wedding Marketing Podcast, I'm joined by Marc McIntosh, CEO and co-founder of Team Wedding Marketing, to unpack one of the most overlooked issues in the wedding industry: underperforming websites.Let's be real, if your website hasn't seen a refresh since 2020 (or before), it could be quietly costing you bookings, inquiries, and trust. Your social content may be working hard to drive traffic, but if your site isn't converting, you're losing leads before they even fill out a form.That's why I brought in Marc.Before launching Team Wedding Marketing, Marc spent 25 years as a successful wedding show producer. His work has made him a nationally recognized speaker, writer, and marketing strategist, sharing insights with thousands of wedding pros around the world.Over the years, Marc noticed a common challenge across the industry: most wedding professionals excel at delivering unforgettable events, but struggle to consistently sell their services. That's where Team Wedding Marketing comes in. With deep knowledge of the wedding industry's pace, pressures, and seasonality, Marc and his team offer targeted strategies that help wedding pros boost sales and reclaim their time, so they can focus on what they love most.

In this episode, we dive into the origins and biblical foundations of the traditional Christian wedding ceremony. We discuss what elements might be derived from scripture versus cultural practices and the importance of placing Christ at the center of the ceremony. Additionally, we address a current controversy sparked by a pastor who claims that polygamy is supported by God according to the Bible. We unpack his arguments, examine the relevant scriptures, and highlight the importance of adhering to biblical teachings in marriage. Join us for an enlightening discussion that challenges us to reflect on God's design for marriage and how we can uphold His principles in our lives.

BOOOOOO. He and his wife are expecting twins, and that's making Thomas feel a little forgotten.Stephen and Susie are wedding planning, and it's a lot.Taylor is touring a video game company where the owner wants him to come run the place—which includes the biggest office I've ever seen. But Taylor doesn't want to move, and since he hasn't talked to his girlfriend about possibly moving out of state… this gig is probably a no-go. Also, he's in love.Luke goes to a Lamaze class and it's an absolute disaster.Apparently Stephen isn't a pet psychologist anymore—he has authored three books and has a massive leak in his living room. Everything is freaking him out. He and Susie end up moving in with his mom while they get the house repaired.Before Taylor can leave the office, he bumps into his ex, Fiona, who gives him the hard sell about taking the job—and even grabs his hand. When he gets home, he does not tell his girlfriend about that part.The brothers all meet up at Mom's house and are shocked to learn she's selling it. They all handle the news very maturely (lol). So it's time for the last family Christmas. But it's going to be an even fuller house when Susie's dad (and his pet bird) unexpectedly show up.They all eat some King's Hawaiian rolls and agree to make this last Christmas in the house the best Christmas ever.The next day, Stephen gets the holiday off to a rocky start when he accidentally lets Bob's bird escape.Taylor is stunned when he finds out his girlfriend is actually excited about the idea of moving to San Francisco for the job. He gets weird about it, and she gets upset.Thomas starts acting out because he feels forgotten, and Luke can't figure out what's going on. That night, Thomas finally opens up, and Luke has a really sweet moment with him.The next morning, all the brothers commit to making Thomas feel special again. They build a giant Christmas fort, celebrate medieval Christmas, and go pick out a Christmas tree. It's a great day.When they get back with the tree, Jared the bird shows up and rats Stephen out for letting him escape. Then they try to catch a rodent that's living in the tree. Then the tree falls over. And just as Thomas declares it the worst Christmas ever… Taylor's ex-girlfriend Fiona shows up. Taylor promptly faints.Taylor opens up to his family about the San Francisco job offer, and they emotionally unpack it—while literally unpacking a HomeGoods bag.Taylor grabs coffee with Fiona to talk things through. He tells her that if he takes the job, she has to be okay with the fact that he's moved on. She's like, “Okie dokie.”Bad news, everyone—Luke forgot his anniversary. He goes to talk to his brothers, which leads to a heart-to-heart-to-heart.They go to get Thomas the one gift he wants for Christmas: a Turbo Man doll. This adventure leads to them getting arrested. Don't ask.At dinner that night, Mom gives Bob a speech about how amazing Stephen is and all that. And then Sophie goes into labor.She gives birth to the twins, and Stephen immediately steals the spotlight by proposing to Susie right there in the hospital chapel.Then Luke steals the spotlight back by giving Sophie a late anniversary gift.And then Taylor steals the spotlight from all of them by asking his girlfriend to move to San Francisco with him.
