Lance and Jeremy (The Geekly Grind) share their thoughts and takeaways from Darwyn Cooke and Dave Stewart's masterpiece. The New Frontier brilliantly serves as an allegory for social injustice and political change during the 1940s and 1950s in the United States, with an injection of the shifting comic landscape from the Golden to Silver Age.  If you want to connect even more, you can join our Discord where we have a dedicated channel just for the book club!

"I wanted the TV version of cancer". This week, guest Christine Fader talks openly about the realities of illness and loss, what real support looks like, and reveal the complexities of navigating life after the death of a spouse. From the challenges of anticipatory grief and survivor's guilt to harnessing rage for positive impact, Christine offers insight, hope, and actionable advice for anyone on this hard journey.7 Key Takeaways from today are:The Reality of Long Illness & Loss: Christine's experience caring for Michael shatters expectations set by popular media, highlighting the unpredictable, deeply painful, and sometimes traumatic reality of terminal illness and caregiving.Navigating Guilt and Regret: Christine candidly discusses feelings of guilt and regret about the choices made in Michael's final months, and shares how she learned to make peace with decisions that were out of her control.The Importance of Honest Conversations: Avoiding conversations about death to protect a partner's hope often leads to missed opportunities for deeper connection. Christine encourages listeners to have open, meaningful discussions—even if they feel uncomfortable.Unexpected Impact of Grief: Even with preparation and anticipatory grief, the shock and physical consequences of losing a spouse—difficulty reading, headaches, disrupted sleep and eating patterns—can be overwhelming. Recognizing these as normal can help with processing the experience.Seeking Support and Connection: Christine highlights the value of widow support groups, online communities, and social media as lifelines, especially for those who might otherwise isolate. Finding others who “get it” is essential.Harnessing Rage for Good: Fueled by anger over Michael's suffering and trauma, Christine turned her rage into action by volunteering and advocating for trauma-informed cancer care and awareness—showing how channeling negative emotions can lead to positive change.Finding Purpose Through Advocacy and Legacy: Christine's work—creating a scholarship in Michael's name and sharing their story with cancer care professionals—reflects the power of transforming personal tragedy into support and hope for others.Listen in for inspiration, practical advice, and heartfelt wisdom—whether you're grieving, caring, or seeking ways to make a difference.

Losing a spouse can shake every part of life—but God promises to walk with you through each next step.When loss turns life upside down, even simple financial decisions can feel overwhelming. But with God's help—and a few practical steps forward—there is hope and healing ahead. Today, Valerie Hogan joins us to share guidance for navigating the financial journey after losing a spouse.Valerie Hogan is an attorney, a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®), a member of Kingdom Advisors, and the co-author of Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More with Miriam Neff. Grief and Finances Are Deeply ConnectedWhen grief hits, clarity often disappears. You may feel pressure to “get everything settled” or, on the other hand, find it impossible to make even small decisions. Both reactions are normal.Grief colors everything. It's difficult to separate financial choices from emotional pain. And that's okay. The key is to give yourself permission not to have all the answers right away.Statistics show that about 80% of women will outlive their husbands. That means most of us will one day find ourselves managing finances alone. And many women, especially from earlier generations, weren't as involved in financial decisions during marriage.After loss, that reality can be intimidating. Suddenly, you're faced with choices about investments, taxes, home maintenance, and budgets—often with less income and more years of life ahead. Those early months matter, but they shouldn't be rushed.Start with This Truth: God Owns It AllBefore any practical steps, I want to anchor you in a truth that has carried me and countless others through difficult seasons: God owns it all.Everything we have belongs to Him, and He is with us as we steward it. Remembering that doesn't erase the pain, but it reminds us we're not alone. It shifts the weight of control off our shoulders and invites God's wisdom into our decisions.That truth gives us permission to move slowly and prayerfully. Stewardship is not about perfection—it's about trust.Steps for Navigating the Early DaysHere are some guiding steps I often share with widows who ask, “Where do I even begin?”1. Take One Step at a TimeYou don't need to fix everything today. Unless a change is absolutely urgent, give yourself space to rest and recover. Grief has a way of making even simple tasks feel monumental. Be patient with yourself.2. Avoid Major Financial Moves Too SoonTry not to make significant financial decisions while emotions are raw. Some women have sold homes, moved away, or invested large sums during intense grief—only to regret it later. Wait until your heart is steadier before making big changes.3. Get Organized, Little by LittleLoss often leaves behind a mountain of paperwork. Start small—maybe one pile, one folder, one hour. Ask a trusted friend or advisor to help if it feels overwhelming. Progress comes one decision at a time.4. Track What's Coming In and Going OutAwareness brings peace. You don't have to overhaul your budget immediately—just begin noticing where money is going. Clarity grows with consistency.5. Lean on Trusted AdvisorsChoose people who will look out for your best interest—those with integrity and experience, not pressure or sales motives. A trusted financial planner, attorney, or advisor can help you think clearly when emotions run high.6. Anchor Everything in PrayerThis is the most important step. God cares deeply when His people are hurting. Invite Him into every conversation, every decision, every bill you open. He is your provider and your comforter.Build a “Personal Board of Directors”Form a personal board of directors—a small circle of wise people you can lean on for different kinds of counsel.You might include:A spiritually mature friend who prays with youA financial professional with integrityAn encourager who helps you stay hopefulA practical helper who can sit with you through paperworkEach one brings something valuable. Just remember: not every encourager is a financial guide, and not every advisor is a prayer partner. Surround yourself with a balanced mix of wisdom and compassion.Know It. Own It. Like It. Change It.In their book Wise Women Managing Money, Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan use a simple four-part framework that applies beautifully here:Know it—Gather the facts. What do you own? What do you owe?Own it—Accept responsibility for your new role as steward.Like it—Evaluate your current situation honestly.Change it—Begin making small, steady adjustments that align with your goals and faith.You don't need to have it all figured out. Start by knowing where you are—and trust that God will guide each next step.If you've recently lost your spouse, please hear this: there are brighter days ahead. It may not feel that way now, but God will give you strength and wisdom in time. I've seen hundreds of widows rebuild, heal, and even thrive again.Take one step at a time. Pray often. Surround yourself with wise, loving people. And remember—you're not alone.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:A friend once told me they only tip 10% at restaurants, so they don't end up giving a server more than they give to God. Now that's stuck with me—every time I eat out, I think about it. Am I looking at this the wrong way? What's the right, biblical way to think about tipping and giving?I recently set up a trust, and I own two homes—one's paid off and the other still has a mortgage. Both properties are titled in my name. Do I need to transfer or re-deed those homes into the trust, or can I leave them as they are since they're already in my name?Resources Mentioned:Faithful Steward: FaithFi's New Quarterly Magazine (Become a FaithFi Partner)Wise Women Managing Money: Expert Advice on Debt, Wealth, Budgeting, and More by Miriam Neff and Valerie Neff Hogan, J.D. Widow ConnectionWisdom Over Wealth: 12 Lessons from Ecclesiastes on MoneyLook At The Sparrows: A 21-Day Devotional on Financial Fear and AnxietyRich Toward God: A Study on the Parable of the Rich FoolFind a Certified Kingdom Advisor (CKA) or Certified Christian Financial Counselor (CertCFC)FaithFi App Remember, you can call in to ask your questions every workday at (800) 525-7000.

Don't have time for terrible ❤️

The Gospel today tells us about the compassion Jesus felt for a woman who was a widow and presently weeping, while bringing her only son to be buried. The poor widow grieved over losing her only means of supporting herself in that society. Women did not work to earn. They largely depended on the men in their lives. Jesus then resurrected her son and gave him to his mom. This example of compassion should be translated to our need to be compassionate for the holy souls in purgatory. They are suffering tremendously. But the Church today aims for emptying Purgatory so that everyone goes to heaven. We can hasten their transfer to join the Blessed Trinity by praying for them and offering various suffrages. One good way that is available these days to us is that of earning a plenary indulgence and applying it to souls in Purgatory.

The Fitzgerald Theater in St. Paul was packed with John Grisham fans on Thursday, Oct. 23, when the prolific author made his debut at Talking Volumes. Host Kerri Miller started the night by asking the audience and then Grisham himself to confirm or deny a series of facts. Does Grisham breed champion sheepdogs at his home in Virginia? Has he been knighted? Does he write a sizzling sex scene for each of his books, just to prove that he can — only to take it out before he sends the manuscript to his editor? Talking Volumes: John Grisham They discussed all that and more — including his new novel, “The Widow,” which is actually more mystery than thriller, and how his first as a small-town lawyer in Mississippi led him to become an author. They also delved into how writing about the criminal justice system in America transformed the way he thought about justice. Music was provided by Molly Maher, who brought her blend of Americana and the blues to the Fitz, and even debuted a song inspired by “The Widow.”

The family of the man shot and killed at the No Kings Rally in Salt Lake City this summer... are asking for someone to be held responsible for his death. KSL NewsRadio's Heather Peterson brings the latest details.

Today we dive deep into the often-unspoken "downside" of being too strong after the loss of a spouse. This episode explores what happens when widows feel pressured to always put on a brave face for their families—and the hidden costs of doing so. We talk about the importance of letting go of the constant need for strength and to make space for true healing.3 Main Takeaways from today are:It's Okay to Show Vulnerability: Many widowed moms are always trying to be strong for the children, but need to realize that allowing them to see pain could help their healing, too. Modeling vulnerability gives permission for others—especially children—to process their own feelings.The Cost of Suppressing Grief: How striving to "just endure" and pushing down emotions is not sustainable. Carrying unprocessed feelings can lead to numbness and anxiety, making true healing much harder.Strength Isn't Always What Heals: While resilience is important, authentic healing comes from allowing yourself to grieve, mourn, and feel—instead of simply performing strength for others. It's crucial to make time to face grief, ask for support, and let go of the guilt that so many widows carry.Tune in for this honest conversation that reminds us strength doesn't mean ignoring our own pain—and that real healing begins with permission to be vulnerable.Get the latest workbook in the Widow 180 Workbook Series, The Let Go Of Guilt Workbook today and start releasing the burden and weight of the guilt you've been carrying.

In this episode of the Join Us in France Travel Podcast, host Annie Sargent talks with Abigail Carter, a writer and YouTube creator who made a huge life change. Abigail lost her husband in the 9/11 attacks. She raised her two young children in Seattle. Then the pandemic hit and forced her to rethink everything. She realized she wanted a new chapter. Listen to this episode ad-free Abigail began watching videos of people renovating châteaux in France. The idea stuck. She loves travel. She loves houses. She has renovation experience. So she came to France to look at properties. At first, it felt like a fun adventure. But then she walked into a large maison de maître near Agen. It had high ceilings, old windows, caves in a cliff, and a lot of charm. Abigail made an offer the very next day. It was accepted. She found herself the owner of a twelve-bedroom home in the French countryside. Annie and Abigail talk about how to buy a property in France. They discuss inspections, banking, moving money, and dealing with renovations. They also talk about the language challenge. Abigail uses apps, Zoom lessons, and practice in daily life to improve her French. Abigail now runs creative retreats at the château. People come to sketch, write, enjoy food and wine, and discover the countryside. She has already formed a growing community around this project. Annie and Abigail share tips for anyone dreaming of a similar move. They also highlight great places to visit around Agen, including Nérac, Lectoure, Pujols, and Monflanquin. This is a story about resilience, creativity, and starting over in France. It's an inspiring reminder that you can build a new life in a new place. Join Annie and Abigail for an uplifting conversation full of practical advice and beautiful French scenery.

As Jesus observes people giving in the temple, there are those who give out of their abundance. This isn't true giving, as it required no faith or trust. Yet, Jesus seems encouraged as He observes a widow put in two copper coins. This was all she had, and although the world would claim this to be unwise, Jesus commends her for her remarkable act of generosity and faith. Believers today are to model that same giving, the giving of our Savior.

Who is supposed to be taking care of the widows and what constitutes a widow that can be helped? Are their stipulations? What does Paul have to say about the younger widows? What about the widow who decides she isn't going to be devoted to God and just wants to liver her life the way she sees fit? We dive into all of this and more in this podcast!

Bestselling thriller writer John Grisham on his latest book, The Widow, in which a smalltown lawyer from Virginia finds himself accused of a serious crime after he develops a professional relationship with a wealthy woman who may not be all that she seems. We hear from writer-director Kelly Reichardt and from actor Josh O'Connor who plays an art thief in her latest film The Mastermind. Dutch art historian and detective Arthur Brand gives an update on the real-life robbery of France's crown jewels from The Louvre in Paris at the weekend, and tells us about the broader spate of museum thefts across Europe right now. And as arts organisations come together in Glasgow for a State of the Nation culture summit, we ask why now, and what might it achieve? Presenter: Kirsty Wark Producer: Mark Crossan

For years, parents were told to avoid giving babies peanuts due to allergy risks. CBS News chief medical correspondent Dr. Jon LaPook joins "CBS Mornings" to explain why new research is flipping that advice—and how early exposure could actually help prevent peanut allergies. The Louvre heist in Paris happened in broad daylight, just 30 minutes after the museum opened. French officials say the thieves used a basket lift to reach a window before smashing display cases, grabbing priceless jewels and fleeing within minutes, like something out of a novel. Bestselling author Daniel Silva has written more than two dozen books, many featuring art theft. He joins "CBS Mornings" to discuss what stands out about this real-life heist and how it compares to his novel research. NASA says it's considering bids from other private space companies over concerns that Elon Musk's SpaceX is behind schedule. Musk fired back on X, writing, "SpaceX is moving like lightning compared to the rest of the space industry." Prosecutors in Florida have decided not to charge a 5-year-old's mother after the girl fell overboard on a Disney cruise earlier this year. The girl's father jumped into the ocean after her and crew members managed to rescue both of them. CBS News' Cristian Benavides has the details. Rabbi Angela Buchdahl of New York's Central Synagogue discusses her memoir "Heart of a Stranger." Buchdahl, the first Asian American rabbi in North America, reflects on her journey, her faith and the global reach of her synagogue, where an Israeli flag symbolizing hostages was recently folded to mark their return. Best-selling author John Grisham joins "CBS Mornings" to talk about his new book, "The Widow," a courtroom thriller about a small-town lawyer accused of murder. Grisham, known as the master of the legal thriller, has written more than 50 consecutive number-one bestsellers and sold over 400 million books worldwide. Child educator and YouTube star Rachel Accurso, known to millions as "Ms. Rachel," joins "CBS Mornings" with her husband, Mr. Aron, to talk about their new book, "Ms. Rachel and Bean and the Bedtime Routine." The couple behind the hit "Ms. Rachel" channel, which has over 17 million YouTube subscribers, share tips to help families create calm, comforting nights.

Widow 180: The Podcast welcomes Amber Vogt, a recent widow navigating life after the sudden loss of her husband, Jay, in April 2024. Amber opens up about the shock and trauma of that day, parenting through grief, and the unexpected challenges of solo adulthood. Her story is raw, vulnerable, and ultimately inspiring. Here are five standout takeaways from our conversation:Trusting Your Instincts: Amber shares how paying attention to a “weird feeling”  caused her to go home from work and check on her husband—reminding us to listen to our gut, especially during uncertain times.The Fog of Grief: The initial days following loss can be a blur; Amber only remembers fragments and emphasizes that it's normal to struggle with memory, planning, and focus after trauma.Importance of Hard Conversations: Having discussed funeral wishes and life plans with Jay helped tremendously—Amber encourages everyone to talk openly about end-of-life decisions, no matter how uncomfortable.Seeking Help and Letting Go: From home maintenance to parenting and finances, Amber's journey highlights the value of asking for support and accepting that independence sometimes means leaning on others.Giving Yourself Grace in Change: Whether it's tackling household projects as a form of coping, adapting to new routines, or learning to forgive yourself for not having all the answers—Amber's story illustrates that healing requires patience, self-compassion, and permission to keep moving forward.Tune in every week for honest widow talk  and conversations about loss, resilience, and learning to rebuild life!Get our latest workbook in the Widow 180 Workbook Series, The Let Go Of Guilt Workbook if you need help releasing the tiring burden of guilt after losing your spouse.

Loss is a natural part of life, but that doesn't make it easy. Grief can pull us into our deepest places of despair. A pit of darkness that seems impossible to escape from. In this outcast encounter, Jesus travels to the obscure town of Nain. Even though Jesus could fill a stadium of people, he chooses to walk miles in the hot sun to bless just one lonely widow.  Today's Bible verse is John 14:18 from the King James Version.Download the Pray.com app for more Christian content including, Daily Prayers, Inspirational Testimonies, and Bedtime Bible Stories.Pray.com is the digital destination for faith.

Jerry's passion is helping bereaved children. When I was first introduced to her, Jerry was described as a widowed mother with a heart for grieving kids. She'd written Joy Overcame Sorrow, a fictional tale for late‑elementary and middle‑school readers about a ten‑year‑old girl coping with her father's death. The story follows Joy's grief journey, letting parents buy a companion workbook so children can record their own feelings while reading. I booked Jerry for the show because listeners frequently ask how parents can support grieving children. I didn't realize her personal loss mirrored our own so closely. Jerry lost her husband her best friend — and raised their young family alone. Before that, she endured four pregnancy losses, including delivering and burying two infants, Jenny and Jesse. Those early tragedies marked her first encounter with deep grief and forced her to help her surviving kids navigate sorrow. Little did she know the next forty years would bring more loss, both as a widow and as a K‑9 teacher working with grieving students. In the classroom, Jerry advised fellow teachers on supporting grieving children. Many educators feel helpless; asking parents is tough because they, too, are immersed in grief. Colleagues urged her to write a book to help grieving children. Jerry had already published a non-fiction book, helping widows rediscover joy after loss, but writing for children would prove to be very different indeed.  Instead of a non‑fiction how‑to guide, Jerry chose fiction — a powerful decision. Stories teach while comforting, allowing children to see themselves reflected without overt instruction. Kids gravitate to narrative—they don't want to feel singled out. By experiencing grief through Joy's eyes, they learn, empathize, and feel less alone. Her novel and its workbook now serve as a gentle bridge for families and teachers navigating the delicate path of loss together.
