Diana and Nicole open the episode by sharing a listener spotlight that details a compelling 1867 divorce case and its complications regarding a wife's dower rights. Diana then introduces Marylynn Salmon's book, Women and the Law of Property in Early America, which serves as an excellent guide for genealogists researching female ancestors in the colonial and early national eras. They discuss how understanding the law behind our ancestors' actions in deeds, probate, and court records is essential. The book, covering 1750 to 1830, traces a gradual extension of wives' ability to own and control property after the Revolution, highlighting that both ideological and economic considerations were forces of change. The hosts explore the book's structure and its focus on how law functioned in practice across key jurisdictions, including Connecticut, Massachusetts, New York, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and South Carolina. They discuss crucial legal concepts such as a married woman's status as a feme covert, who generally could not sell property or enter into contracts. This led to statutes like the feme sole trader act in Pennsylvania and varying regional approaches to Conveyances and Divorce and Separation. They also examine Separate Estates, which were handled by Chancery Courts in some colonies but opposed by Puritan ideals in New England, and Provision for Widows (dower rights). Listeners learn that they can gain new insights into their female ancestors' property records by applying the information from this book, even recommending that if their ancestor's jurisdiction is not mentioned, they should look at a neighboring state's section to find the governing laws.

But first, on this week's Blue Plate Special, we take a moment to review the brand-new reimagining of The Running Man and share a rundown of upcoming fall releases we're most excited to catch—just in time for awards season.

What do you do when the needs around you are bigger than your capacity?As we come to Acts 6, we're stepping into a moment where the early church hit a crisis — not of apathy, but of capacity.Widows were being unintentionally overlooked. Tension was growing. Unity was threatened.But instead of ignoring the problem or pretending they could just “do more,” the apostles did something stunning:✨ They acknowledged their limitations.✨ They invited the whole church into the solution.✨ They raised up Spirit-filled servants to meet real needs.And the result?The Word increased. Disciples multiplied. And the most unlikely of people came to saving faith in Jesus.This passage reminds us:The church doesn't flourish when a few people do everything.It flourishes when every member steps in with the gifts God has given.Consider as you listen:

It has often been said that prayer is the greatest force in the universe. And yet, it remains a largely untapped resource for so many Christians. Why is that?There are a lot of reasons why we don't pray, but I think they can be summarized under two headings:  We don't know how it works. It feels very unnatural to talk to someone I can't actually see and whose voice I've never literally heard.  We don't think it really matters. We take a fatalistic view. “If it's supposed to happen, it'll happen, whether I pray or not.” In Luke 18, Jesus tells a parable that addresses the issue of prayer straight-up. The story has two main characters: a widow and a judge. Widows in Jesus' day were vulnerable. Unless she had a son to take care of her, she was without resources, power, or connections. In Jesus' story, this widow was being harassed by an adversary, so she took her case to the local judge, seeking relief.Unfortunately, the judge in this story was a hard-hearted man. He didn't fear (respect) anyone – neither man nor God! When the widow came to him, he dismissed her. But she wouldn't give up. She kept pestering the judge over and over again until finally, the judge threw up his hands and said, “I can't take it anymore. Give her what she wants!”Now, most people read this story and think... we're like the widow—defenseless and weak. And God is like the judge! He's super busy and doesn't have time to bother with little people like me and my little problems. So, the moral of the story is… it pays to pester! The more I pester God in prayer, the more likely He'll finally cave in and give me what I ask for!Friends, that could not be further from the truth. This parable is not an allegory. It is a beautifully crafted study in contrasts! Jesus' point is, if this sort of judge gives this sort of help to this sort of person, how much more will your Father give all kinds of help to you?  And in so doing, He gives us three prerequisites we need to understand if we hope to keep praying and not give up. 1.     We need to understand our identity.Some of us see God as Oz the Terrible. Like Dorothy and her friends, we tremble before Him. But for those who have come to faith in Christ, the King of the Universe is our Father! And He is thrilled with your presence and delighted to hear of your needs. No one's voice sounds sweeter to God than yours.2.     We need to understand God's inclination.Don't think for a minute that you have to concoct some way to wrench a blessing from some tight-fisted miser.  That just isn't so.  From cover to cover in the Bible, we read of a God who loves to give good things to His children. He delights in it.3.     We need to understand God's invitation.God calls us to talk to Him—to ask, seek, and knock—not just to have our needs met, but that we might enter into a faith partnership with Him.  Text: Luke 18:1-8Originally recorded on August 22, 2004, at Fellowship Missionary Church, Fort Wayne, IN

In this episode of the Hot Widows Club podcast, hosts Crystal and Allie, along with special guest Lindsey, share their experiences of widowhood, parenting, and navigating life after loss. They discuss the importance of keeping the memory of loved ones alive, the challenges of parenting through grief, and the significance of financial preparedness. The conversation also touches on the power of dreams as connections to lost loved ones and the vital role of family support in the grieving process. Throughout the episode, the hosts emphasize the need for open communication, finding gratitude in difficult situations, and the journey of healing after loss. / The Hot Widows Club Podcast chronicles Crystal & Allie's grief journey, navigating a life they didn't choose. Widows who are tired as hell from raising kids, wiping asses, making decisions & being both parents; if you know, you know. Speaking freely about why being a widow sucks, they are simply pining for the love of their lives to come through the door one more time. Madly in love with their dead husbands, the duo fills the conversation with humor, life lessons, & a path forward. Yes, they're smoking hot, yes, this is funny, yes, they swear, & yes, they're sadder than you could imagine.

God very strongly identifies the orphan/fatherless, widow and immigrant as being objects of His special attention. His identity is bound up with how much He cares for them. YHVH commands a structure in Israel's everyday society that provides for the poor in their midst. That provision includes various “flavors” of food. We are called to live like and look like our Father in our treatment of the orphan/fatherless, widow and immigrant. Mistreating the poor is equal to worshiping other gods in YHVH's view of Israel. Their failure to compassionately care for the poor is a chief reason for their exile. The purest way to follow/please God is to care for the poor.To investigate this most important of stories further, go here.

Jesus exposes the difference between religious showmanship and genuine devotion. In Mark 12:38–44, He warns against leaders who seek honor while exploiting the vulnerable, and He highlights a widow whose small offering reveals both her faith and the corruption of the system around her. This week, Pastor Korey challenges us to recognize false spirituality, protect the vulnerable, and remember that God sees the heart—not the performance.

Protected from outsiders, they remain cut off from the hope of Christ. Yet some live beyond their homeland—within reach of Brazil's vibrant church. Pray that God will raise up believers to connect with them, that Pipipa elders would encounter the living Christ, and that a movement of faith would spread through their people and beyond.FinancesWeekly Budget 34,615Giving For 11/02 33,119Giving For 11/09 38,172YTD Budget 657,692Giving 618,937 OVER/(UNDER) (38,755)Operation Christmas Child National Collection Week is Here!

Born in London in 1911, Flint grew up in modest circumstances but claimed to hear voices of the departed from childhood. Those early experiences set him on a lifelong path toward Spiritualism and the exploration of life after death. Unlike trance mediums who spoke on behalf of spirits, Flint's séances were said to produce independent voices, clearly audible to everyone in the room, appearing to come from midair rather than from the medium himself.Sitters described conversations that were intimate, humorous, and deeply emotional. The voices called people by name, shared private memories, and even argued or joked. Among them were recurring personalities such as “Mickey,” a lively Cockney boy spirit, and “Dr. Charles Marshall,” a calm, guiding presence who oversaw communication from the other side.During the Second World War, when grief touched nearly every British home, Flint's séances offered solace. Widows and parents reported hearing the familiar tones of loved ones lost in battle. Others claimed to encounter famous figures, Oscar Wilde, Queen Victoria, Mahatma Gandhi, each speaking in distinct character and style. To many, these sessions felt less like performances than reunions across the boundary of death.Flint was repeatedly tested. Investigators sealed his mouth, filled it with colored water, even bound him to a chair, yet the voices continued. Hundreds of hours of these sessions were recorded and can still be heard today through the Leslie Flint Educational Trust. Whether regarded as genuine spirit communication or an extraordinary unexplained acoustic phenomenon, they remain some of the clearest evidence of voices without visible source ever documented.In this episode, I take you through Flint's life, the atmosphere of his séances, and the enduring mystery of those voices in the dark. Was Leslie Flint truly speaking for the dead, or revealing new dimensions of consciousness still beyond our science? https://www.pastliveshypnosis.co.uk/https://www.patreon.com/ourparanormalafterlifeMy book 'Verified Near Death Experiences' https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0DXKRGDFP Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Over the next five Tuesdays we're holding our own mini literature festival. We've delved deep in the archive to find some of the very best authors we've spoken to over the past seven years, and what an icon we have to kick it off! After a successful career as an actor Lynda La Plante became intrigued by the production process of television drama and began writing treatments, ideas for potential shows that were, well, very much her own. Although most were rejected, one was praised as utterly brilliant. By 1983, her six-part series Widows premiered and became the highest rating series of the early 1980s. Following the show's success, she established herself as a highly sought-after crime writer with women at the heart of her stories, and the release of her debut novel in 1987 quickly established her as a critically acclaimed best-selling author to boot, paving the way for a series of hit books that followed in rapid succession. By 1991, she hit new heights and broke new ground with the premiere of the world-renowned Prime Suspect. A detective drama starring Helen Mirren as DCI Jane Tennyson, which went on to win numerous BAFTAs, Emmys and Golden Globes over the course of its seven seasons and made Helen Mirren a bona fide global superstar. It's no surprise that in 2008 she was awarded a CBE for her services to literature, drama and charity. is a member of the Crime Thriller Award Hall of FameWe'll be back on Thursday with a brand new episode.

Do you ever feel like you're just going through the motions? Like you're functioning, but not really living? If you're nodding your head, you're not alone. In fact, this feeling is so common among widows that I've given it a name: the grief plateau. It's that space where you're stable enough to function, but your future feels uncertain and life doesn't quite feel like you'd like it to. You might be back at work, taking care of your family, and managing day-to-day tasks, but inside, something feels... missing. If you're ready to take that first step, tune in this week as I share three essential keys to help you get unstuck and move beyond this plateau.Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.coachingwithkrista.com/335

Paul leaves Timothy behind in Ephesus to help a struggling church get back on track. One of the many issues is widows. 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!

SUMMARY: - Guest, Author and speaker Debora Coty shares how to find joy amid pain, drawing from deep personal losses and decades of ministering to women. - Writing journey: Her Too Blessed to Be Stressed brand unexpectedly grew to 40+ books/products with 2M+ copies sold worldwide; new devotional Bless Your Heart focuses on daily encouragement. - “Papa God”: She uses the intimate, biblical sense of Abba (Papa/Daddy) to help women experience God's unconditional love beyond imperfect earthly-father images. - Faith in crisis: Six miscarriages triggered a two-year spiritual shutdown; daily praying through the Psalms—starting with “angry” psalms—slowly reopened her heart to God's presence. - Recent trials: Multiple family deaths, job loss, knee replacements, a spouse's cancer, and a 5-year legal battle to protect her grandchildren—culminating in unexpected, miraculous breakthrough. - Joy vs. happiness: Happiness depends on circumstances; joy is a chosen, steady confidence in God's unchanging character that can coexist with grief. - Tools for resilience: Gratitude (Philippians 4:6–7), worship/music, nature, Scripture, intentional fun and laughter, and noticing daily “grace notes” (small signs of God's care). - “BOGO blessings”: Inspired by 1 Peter 3:9—when you bless others, you “be one, get one,” receiving blessing as you give it. - Anchoring Scriptures: Philippians 4:6–7 (peace covenant), Psalm 46:1 (ever-present help), Psalm 147:3 (heals the brokenhearted). - Invitation: Join her BFF (Blessed Friends Forever) community for mutual prayer, encouragement, and practical faith; final charge—keep seeking God's presence with perseverance.   PODCAST INTRO: If you've ever wondered how joy can possibly coexist with grief, today's conversation is for you. I'm joined by beloved author and encourager Debora Coty—creator of the Too Blessed to Be Stressed series, with over two million copies in print worldwide. She and I had a chance to connect for the podcast while she was visiting family in the Smokey Mountains and Debora brought her signature warmth, humor, and hard-won wisdom to help us find God's presence in life's most painful seasons. We talk about the difference between happiness and true, resilient joy; how scripture—especially the Psalms and Philippians 4:6–7—anchors us when our faith feels shaken; and the “grace notes” God sprinkles through our days when we learn to look for them. Debora opens up about profound losses—miscarriages, family heartbreak, health challenges, and a long, exhausting court battle—and how waiting on God can still lead to breathtaking redemption. You'll hear practical tools to refresh a weary spirit: gratitude that changes the atmosphere, worship that invites God's presence, nature that whispers His care, and yes—laughter—as a catalyst for joy. Debora also shares about her new devotional, Bless Your Heart, and invites you into her BFF—Blessed Friends Forever—community for prayer, connection, and ongoing encouragement. Let's listen in as Debora shares her message of joy, hope and encouragement. As soon as she starts talking you know immediately that's she's an encourager at heart maybe it's because she exudes the joy of the Lord…and because of that joy, I think you'll be surprising to hear all that she's been through and yet she still keeps leaning on Jesus for His joy and strength.

In today's podcast, we start to cover 1 Timothy 5 where Paul is writing Timothy to give him instructions for the church in Ephesus. In chapter 5, Paul deals with widows and how they are to be taken care of. Is it the church's responsibility to take care of widows? We go back to the Old Testament and see what God had to say about widows back then and the laws He gave to the people through Moses and some examples of how God used widows to usher in the Messiah!
