Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by exclaiming that Philadelphia and the officials running the City need to be shamed. Dom tells that coming up on today's show, he'll have the Chief of a security detail that's been called upon to protect a gas station on Broad Street because the City can't control the rampant crime. Then, Dom offers his opinion on the continued Supreme Court hearing of the case of Lorie Smith, a videographer who refuses to serve homosexual individuals. After that, Dom sees live on the studio television's C-SPAN a ridiculous incident during the Gold Medal ceremony for the Capitol Police after January 6th, telling that officers and their families intentionally ignored a handshake from Republican leaders. In today's second hour, Dom welcomes friend of the show Pastor Bill Devlin, leader of Octane Faith, back onto the Dom Giordano Program after receiving a President's Volunteer Service Award last week for his decades of work aiding Christians and others impacted in war torn areas throughout the world. Devlin, a Purple Heart recipient during the Vietnam War, runs the REDEEM! and Widows and Orphans organizations, which are dedicated to raising funds and providing aid to those most desperately in need throughout the World. Recently, Bill spent time in an underground bunker in Ukraine, and just came back from spending some time working with vulnerable people in Nigeria. (Photo by Getty Images)

Then, Dom welcomes Andre Boyer, Chief of S.I.T.E., Pennsylvania's State Agents, who has been tasked by gas station owners to protect their business and customers as crime spikes in Philadelphia. Boyer has been all over local news recently explaining his purpose, telling 6ABC of the difference between his organization and standard security guards, further elaborating to Giordano. Boyer explains how his organization works, telling about the certification they've received from State Police, putting forth everything that the agents are capable, including arresting perpetrators.

What do I need to do to become a good servant? Jesus entered the world to serve, not to be served. Real servants don't struggle, they submit. You can do small things in a great way.

Thomas.   For more information about Hopegivers, please visit www.hopegivers.org.

Kari Malkovich is best known as a community leader in Woodland Hills, Utah, but not many know her past struggles that drive her desire to serve and lift others. In this first-part of a two-part series, she expands on her backstory to our hosts (and her good friends), Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf. She compares the problems of life to running a relay race, wherein each lap, we are leaning on our past self's lessons of survival. She offers advice from her experiences in emergency management with the acronym W.O.O.P.; Wish- what our goal is, the Outcome we want to achieve, acknowledging any Obstacles that might get in our way, and making Plans to reach the goals and overcome obstacles.  Even though we live in challenging times, we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another's experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie's husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together, and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.

Why do we have a negative view about serving? Jesus came to serve, not to be served. Jesus chose flawed apostles over obedient angels. Are you serving yourself or are you serving the Lord?  For more information about Hopegivers, please visit www.hopegivers.org.

We speak to Shamo Silo about Australia's decision to repatriate ISIS widows. He says Yezidi people were tortured, enslaved and beaten by ISIS widows no less than ISIS fighters. He pleads with the Australian government to consider bringing Yezidis who have been granted Australian visas but are awaiting resettlement in Australia. - Em bi Şemo Silo re li ser biryara Australya ya vegerandina jinebiyên DAIŞê diaxivin. Berêz Silo ji vê beryarê bi xem e. Ew dibêje van jinan ne kêmî çetayên DAIŞ êş, koletî û lêdana ji Êzîdiyan repeyda kirin e. Ew ji hukumeta Australya hêvî dike li şûna anîna van jinebîyên DAIŞ bila Êzîdiyên ku vîza Australya standine û çaverêya hatinê dikin e bînin.

In this episode of our Midlife Awakening season of the Coached Podcast, the courageous Jody Lavoie joins Coach Keren Eldad to share her story of grief and growth.  After an employee killed Jody's husband at their place of business, in addition to waking up to the horror of the tragedy, she was forced to contend with a future that looked nothing like she had planned. Faced with the unthinkable, she decided, in an instant, not to choose defeat, but to step up.  In one fell swoop, Jody went from being a stay-at-home mom to running a multi-million dollar business, solo parenting three daughters, and juggling new legal, financial, and household-related issues - succeeding above and beyond even her own expectations. Having taken this experience and merged it with a career as a certified professional coach, Jody talked to us about grief, about purpose and about reimagining your life. https://kereneldad.com/enthusiasmacademy/   Highlights from this Episode: [02:50] Jody shares her remarkable story: from grief to transformation.  [05:02] Keren discusses the stages of the grief process. Denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance [13:27] Jody shares how she built her second act and new business:  “Widows in the Workplace”.  [16:35] Jody shares how you can find inspiration in life after loss, seeing the other side even as an opportunity for rebirth, reawakening, and rediscovery of who you are.   Key Takeaways: Grief stands on its own, but does share a few key elements with the Midlife Crisis. A midlife crisis can feel like grief in the beginning stages, but like grief, there can be beauty on the other side. Grief, like the midlife crisis, can turn your weakest moments into your greatest success by sharing your experience with others in a similar situation.   Quotes:  “I believe the grief process requires radical acceptance. Everyone should have a safe place to speak candidly without judgment or shame because it's a messy path to move forward”. – Jody LaVoie Links:  Website: https://www.jodylavoiecoaching.com/jody-lavoie-widow-coaching LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodylavoie/ Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.ca/widowsintheworkplace/ Instagram: @widowsintheworkplace   Bio: Jody is a widow and two-time breast cancer survivor, who has taken her life experiences to guide other women who have found themselves in a similar situation to rediscover themselves with renewed clarity and joy for what is next in their lives. Jody is the former CEO of the non-profit Female Strong and the Young Entrepreneurs Academy Chicago. Female Strong offers hands-on programs, mentorship and experiences that build confidence in middle and high school girls that enables them to be future leaders of tomorrow. Jody is an active member of the Young President's Organization (YPO) and is on the board of the Sheila A Doyle Foundation to support others that have experienced homicide. She holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Chicago, is a mother to three amazing daughters, loves to hike and is always game for whatever will bring on more belly laughs.

In this week's episode, Karen and Destinee discuss the uniqueness of grief. They discuss the different factors that play a roll in grieving, such as the relationship prior to a spouse/partner's passing etc.   For more information about Widows in Motion visit: www.widowsinmotion.org

Hayam Bakkir of the Yezidi community is disappointed with Australia's decision to repatriate ISIS widows. She says the return of these women causes frustration and anxiety. These women, like ISIS fighters, have inflicted pain, rape and trauma on Yezidi women. - Heyam Bekir ji civaka Êzidî bi biryara Australya ya vegerandina jinebiyên DAIŞê dilgiran e. Ew dibêje vegera van jinan dibe sedema xemgînî û diltengiyan. Van jinan weke çeteyên DAIŞ êş, destavêtin û troma li jinên Êzidî re peyda kirin.

In 2014, David and Chalece Neilsen were eagerly awaiting the arrival of their baby when it was discovered that their little girl suffered from a rare form of cancer. She was born prematurely at 25 weeks and given the name Allison Faith. After a fortnight in a NICU incubator under excellent doctor care, the Neilsens' held their baby for the first and last time as she passed away. The couple each mourned in their own way, leaning heavily on the support of friends and family. And as they continued to struggle with infertility issues, they discovered that Resiliency is not what we think. They join this episode of Relentlessy Resilient to share how it is worth fighting for resilience and peace in the hardest of trials. Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another's experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie's husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.

Your heart is more important than you could ever imagine. We can so easily give our hearts over to things that are the wrong things, this week, Kent encourages you to give your heart over to Jesus. Jump in with us in Sections 200 of the Gospel Harmonies @ https://www.harmonychurch.cc/tracking-jesus-timeline/. IT'S EASY TO GIVE at Harmony, text any amount to (859) 459-0316 to get started (or give online @ my.harmonychurch.cc/give ). ------------------- Sermon Notes Slide Key: Sermons always start with “OPENING ILLUSTRATION:” and end with “CLOSING ILLUSTRATION:" All scriptures are NIV unless otherwise noted Bold = Slide text Bold Red = Scriptures (please reflect formatting of scripture on slides, i.e. - underlines, italics, etc.) “b" or “B” on a line by itself = Slide break/New slide Bold ALL CAPS WORDS = heading to be ignored [some text] = programming notes to be paid attention to OPENING ILLUSTRATION: Years ago I had started working out and honestly was just trying to build up muscles. I was a young buck and wanted to be strong. I'm not sure it worked, lol. I was overweight and was really hoping working out would help me. I struck up this conversation with this guy while we were sitting there. When you are overweight, there are always people in a gym who want to help you, and this guy was one of those guys. He asked me what I was doing and so I proceeded to tell him what my workouts were. He asked me if I was doing any cardio and I told him I did a little bit and he said something that has stuck with me for probably 20 years or more at this point. He said, “You know, I've never heard of someone dying from having too small of a bicep, but I've heard of lots of people dying from having a weak heart…” I don't know who the guy was, all I know is he was a lawyer… But that statement has stuck with me… I was thinking lately about this statement again and how it's not just true physically, but spiritually it's true as well.. I know lots of people who morally look good on the outside, but their hearts are weak and corrupt. b Today, I want us to take a look at our hearts and evaluate if we've bitten off on ideas the world says matter more than the ideas Jesus says matter. Turn your bibles to Luke 20 (SECTION 200) THE SETUP Let me set up where we are entering into Jesus' life as we track Him.. -He is in the last week of His life. -This is the whole enchilada, the whole game -He has been confronting leaders and teachers all week -He's being tested by them -Word has spread that He has raised Lazarus from the dead -Some people are believing in Him, others are not - but many are threatened by Him… Jesus has swept over the people of Israel like Pokemon over a 3rd-grade class… I want to read this passage to you in a second, but I want to show you how it's tied to the passage that follows - but we almost always miss it because of how the chapter breaks from the guy who put the chapters in… But originally there would have been no break. Lk 20:45-47 45 While all the people were listening, Jesus said to his disciples, 46 “Beware of the teachers of the law. They like to walk around in flowing robes and love to be greeted with respect in the marketplaces and have the most important seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at banquets. 47 They devour widows' houses and for a show make lengthy prayers. These men will be punished most severely.” ILLUSTRATION: There is this guy that I see clips of on Facebook all the time, he's the whispering arm wrestler. He cracks me up because he will be wrestling someone and they will be going with all their might against him. He'll just quietly whisper to them what they need to do to try and beat him, “bring your left shoulder forward…” “lean with your body…” and then at some point, he will just come out of nowhere and cream them… Jesus has been doing this all day to the religious leaders of His day. They have been asking Him question after question…the Sadducees about the Resurrection of the dead and the Pharisees about the greatest commandment. Jesus just comes out of nowhere and creams them every time. Here's what I want you to get, what Jesus just said about these religious leaders was within their earshot… b Did you hear what He said about these teachers of the law? For a moment, pretend He's talking about you… Beware of the teachers of the law… -They like people to see them (flowing robes, greeted with respect, and most important seats) -They don't care about people - image is everything (they devour widows' houses, make lengthy prayers) Did you hear how He finishes that statement? These men will be punished most severely.” Do you get the picture? These people cared more about their image, position, and prestige than they cared about the people… Here's the part we almost always miss, that Luke & Jesus intentionally contrast this section with… Got the picture? Jesus has just finished talking about how these people everyone looks up to have it all and then He's going to point out the very person these people are taking advantage of and say, “she's the one…” Check it out… These are literally the next words in Luke… Luke 21:1-4 As Jesus looked up, he saw the rich putting their gifts into the temple treasury. 2 He also saw a poor widow put in two very small copper coins. 3 “Truly I tell you,” he said, “this poor widow has put in more than all the others. 4 All these people gave their gifts out of their wealth; but she out of her poverty put in all she had to live on.” This helps us place Jesus… He would have been inside the temple in what is called the “court of women.” When you are in Israel with us, you will stand on the temple mount, you will go up a few stairs towards the Dome of the Rock and you will be standing where the temple was. There were 3 sections people could go into, the court of gentiles - anyone could go in that section, the court of women - Jewish women could go. The last section was the court of men, where only men could go. Jesus is in the court of women because this is where the temple treasury was. 13 boxes with bronze trumpets on top that you could put your money in as you gave. Jesus is in this section and He's now watching the people put their money in… Not intimidating at all, I'm thinking about doing this for offerings… lol He sees this woman put in her last two pennies… And He points her out and says this woman is the superstar, not the religious leaders… b They were willing to take her to the cleaners to gain prestige & satisfy their greed b She gave herself away in faith… ILLUSTRATION: It reminds me of years before this when one of Jesus' ancestors was going to be chosen as King. Samuel, the prophet went to the family of Jesse, all he knew was God had a young man in that family He wanted to be king. Sam got there and saw all of Jesse's sons, Eliab came in front of him and Sam thought, “this has to be it, he's the guy - he looks like a King…” But listen to God's reply 1 Samuel 16:7 But the Lord said to Samuel, “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things people look at. People look at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” CLOSING: A while back, I had a conversation with one of my kids about how the world uses power and manipulation to get what it wants, but that's not the way of Jesus. He doesn't care about status, He doesn't care about wealth, He cares about your heart. My kid, pretty shrewdly said, “yeah, but dad, it works…” b That's the problem for most of us, right, the power, prestige, and greed work to get us what we think we want… b It's vital that you get and understand this, the way of Jesus is not about getting you what you want, it's about getting you what you need. You are in desperate need of a relationship with God… You can have all the prestige, money, power, and position in this world and still go to hell (be separated for ETERNITY from God) b Jesus is after your heart. b That's why this lady ends up being the hero and the religious people end up being the zeros God doesn't look at the outward appearance but at the heart That's why the proverbs say Proverbs 4:23 Above all else, guard your heart, for everything you do flows from it. It is time to turn your heart back to Jesus… This is the simplest call I could have…. It's time to learn the heart of Jesus… It's a different way than what the world offers, and you can't live without it.

Michael Allio was a fan favorite on Katie Thurston's season of “The Bachelorette,” applauded for the vulnerability he showed as he talked about losing his wife, Laura, to cancer and raising his son James without his mom.  Losing a partner to cancer? Raising a young son on your own? Sounds familiar! Michael came across Nora's TED Talk shortly after Laura died, and when he reached out to the podcast, we knew we had to get these two on a call together. That call became a TTFA Premium episode.  Now, if you're a Bachelor Nation fan, you know that Michael is on the current season of “Bachelor in Paradise,” where he's been speaking to his grief and loss and the difficulty of dating again in general … but especially on national television. We're re-airing this episode in our main feed here today for all of you Bachelor Nation fans who want some more insight into Michael's ~*journey*~ (yes, that's a Bachelor joke).  If you like it, and want more bonus content like this, sign up for TTFA Premium at www.ttfa.org/premium.

Casey Scott had worked hard to become a beloved TV personality, but under that bubbly outgoing surface, he was fighting a war with the demon of addiction. That surface cracked on September 2, 2018, when he was arrested for driving under the influence of alcohol. Since that time he has taken steps to confront his addiction, faced his demons in rehab, and is four years sober. Now weekly on the Project Recovery podcast, he shares his personal story of becoming a better person, one day at a time. Along with the expert help of licensed psychologist Dr. Matt Woolley, he interviews others who have faced similar addictions and found hope in the process. Casey joins this episode of Relentlessly Resilient to share his story of addiction, downfall, and most importantly, resilience.  Even though we live in challenging times we can become Relentlessly Resilient as we lean on and learn from one another's experiences. Hosts Jennie Taylor and Michelle Scharf are no strangers to overcoming adversity; Michelle lost her husband to cancer, while Jennie's husband Major Brent Taylor was killed in the service of our country. Their stories bond them together and now listeners can join them weekly as they visit with others enduring challenges and who teach us how they are exercising resiliency, finding value in their grief, and purpose in moving forward.  Listen to the Relentlessly Resilient Podcast regularly on your favorite platform, at kslpodcasts.com, kslnewsradio.com, or on the KSL App. Join the Resilience conversation on Facebook at @RelentlesslyResilient and Instagram @RelentlesslyResilientPodcast.
