Proverbios 3:5-6“Fíate de Jehová de todo tu corazón, Y no te apoyes en tu propia prudencia.Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, Y él enderezará tus veredas".George Washington Carver nació como un hijo de esclavos a comienzos de 1860, y creció para convertirse en uno de los más prominentes Químicos de América. Aunque, la mayoría de las personas lo reconocen como el hombre que nos dio la mantequilla de maní, pocos saben que Carver era un Científico con una relación muy estrecha con su Creador.A medida que aprendemos del libro, George Washington Carver: Su vida y su fe en Sus Propias Palabras por William Federer, después de hablar con el Comité de la Cámara de Representantes de Estados Unidos y el Comité Ways, el presidente del comité le preguntó dónde había aprendido tanto acerca del maní. Carver, respondió: "De un viejo libro." El presidente preguntó: "¿Qué libro?" Y respondió Carver, "La Biblia".Deseando saber más, el presidente preguntó, "¿Dice algo la Biblia sobre el maní?" Y respondió Carver, "No señor. Pero habla acerca del Dios quien hizo el maní. Le pedí que me mostrara qué hacer con el maní, y Él lo hizo".En otra ocasión, cuando se le preguntó el secreto de su éxito, respondió: "Es simple. Se encuentra en la Biblia, "Reconócelo en todos tus caminos, y él enderezará tus veredas."Mientras trabajaba en su laboratorio, al que él llamaba "Pequeño taller de Dios" - Carver desarrolló más de 300 usos innovadores para el maní y otros 100 usos para la soya, incluyendo bebidas, cosméticos, pinturas, medicamentos y productos alimenticios.Así que la próxima vez que un Evolucionista le diga que los hombres de fe no pueden ser verdaderos científicos, cuéntele la historia del Sr. Maní.Oración: Padre Celestial, Tú te deleitas en hombres y mujeres humildes, que Te reconocen como Creador. Pido que continúes levantando Científicos de fe de modo que Te glorifiquen a Ti y a Tu Hijo, Jesucristo. Amén.Ref: Federer, William J. (2002).

100% Hustle Podcast William J. Allen Jr. - Accountability, Reentry and Second Chances In this powerful episode of 100% Hustle, Vicki Hamilton sits down with William J. Allen Jr., founder of New Chapter Life Coaching, to explore the critical connection between accountability, rehabilitation, and second chances. Drawing on more than 30 years of experience in the criminal justice system, William shares why successful reentry requires far more than simply completing a sentence. Through an honest and thought-provoking conversation, he discusses the barriers many individuals face after incarceration, including employment, housing, education, and the importance of character development. This episode challenges common assumptions and offers a hopeful perspective on personal transformation, demonstrating that when individuals are given the tools, support, and opportunity to rebuild their lives, entire communities benefit. One message resonates above all others: your worst day does not define your future. Bio: William J. Allen Jr. is a U.S. military veteran, retired Michigan Department of Corrections professional, author, and founder of New Chapter Life Coaching, LLC. With more than 30 years of criminal justice experience, William served in a variety of roles, including corrections officer, prisoner counselor, probation officer, sergeant, and internal affairs investigator. Drawing on decades of frontline experience, William founded New Chapter Life Coaching to help individuals impacted by the criminal justice system overcome barriers, take accountability, and build sustainable paths forward. Through life coaching, mentoring, character development, and reentry support, New Chapter Life Coaching works to address challenges such as employment, housing, decision-making, substance use recovery, and successful reintegration into the community. William is also the author of 12 Weeks to a New Chapter: A Character-Based Life Coaching Journey for At-Risk Individuals and the Professionals Who Walk Beside Them. His work is grounded in a simple principle: second chances and public safety are not competing ideas. When accountability is combined with meaningful opportunity and support, individuals have a better chance to succeed—and communities become stronger and safer. Today, William uses his professional and lived leadership experience to advocate for a more effective approach to reentry, one that begins early, addresses real-world barriers, and gives people who genuinely want to change the tools and opportunity to write a new chapter.

Join us as Lt. Gen. William J. Bowers, Deputy Commandant for Manpower and Reserve Affairs, steps into the Trident Room to discuss what makes the Marine Corps more than just military service — it's a calling. From the "Marine mystique" that first inspired him as a student to the leaders who shaped his journey, Bowers reflects on the power of purpose, the importance of mentorship, and why every Marine's story matters. The conversation also explores why education remains a strategic advantage for tomorrow's leaders, how young officers can prepare for increasingly complex challenges, and why curiosity, collaboration, and lifelong learning are just as essential as physical toughness. Equal parts leadership lesson and personal reflection—with a few stories about Social Distortion, surfing, and Marine Corps culture woven throughout—this first installment offers an engaging look at the people, purpose, and traditions that continue to define the Corps.

MATTHEW'S JOURNEY: The Return Home Caroline and Matthew have been nearly inseparable for as long as they both can remember. That is, until the untimely call of war summons Matthew far away to the battlefields of Vlaysar. With grand designs on an epic adventure, he promises to safely return to Caroline and Meadowshire a hero. But, seriously wounded on the battlefield and left for dead, those delusions of grandeur quickly fade as he, unbeknownst to Caroline, slowly and painfully makes his way home. Matthew's return becomes a desperate struggle against both time and circumstance. Losing hope at every turn, Caroline grows more desperate with each passing day, not knowing Matthew's true fate, nor certain if they will ever truly be reunited. TOPICS OF CONVERSATION: About the book and the inspiration behind the story Bringing history, love, and war together on the page Why the story begins with the ones left behind A soldier's journey through fear, duty, and survival The emotional toll of war on families and relationships What it really means to make it home after war What's next for William J.

Today's True Weird Stuff - Internal Sunshine   William J.A. Bailey wasn’t a doctor, but he convinced the public to trust him anyway—selling radium-laced water as a cure for nearly everything. One of those believers was Eben Byers, a wealthy athlete who drank more than a thousand doses, slowly poisoning himself until his jaw disintegrated and his skull began to rot before his death. The death of Eben Byers forced the world to finally confront the cost of pseudoscience that goes unchecked.  

One prayer. One gunshot. One life forever changed. In this unforgettable episode, Carl sits down with Dr. William J. Boss, a pastor and educator who was shot point-blank in the head while praying at the altar of his own church, and miraculously lived to tell the story.   What followed was not chaos, but faith in motion. Bleeding, disoriented, and moments from death, Dr. Boss embarked on what he calls "The Death Walk"—a staggering journey through his church, praying aloud and pleading with God for his life. Doctors later declared survival nearly impossible. If he lived, they said, he would never be the same.   Three days later, he walked out of the hospital. Still carrying the bullet in his brain, Pastor Boss shares the spiritual, emotional, and physical aftermath of that moment and how forgiveness replaced anger, how faith overcame fear, and how trauma became the foundation for a deeper calling and the inspiration for his incredibly moving book, While on Bended Knees.   This episode explores what happens when science reaches its limits, faith steps forward, and a miracle refuses to be denied.  

It was a single photo of AWC graduate William J. Byrne’s grandmother standing outside a ramshackle home that formed the spark that inspired this self-confessed history buff to explore stories of his past and the experiences of Aboriginal people leading up to the 1960s. The result is his debut novel, The Warrumbar – spanning half a century and casting light on a lesser-told chapter of Australia.

Journalist and author William J. Kole joins me to unpack the deep and often hidden ties between white evangelicalism, politics, fear, and America's gun culture. Drawing from his new book In Guns We Trust, Bill shares how his own ministry collided with concealed weapons, why fear has shaped so much of the church's response to gun violence, and how Christian nationalism and the idolizing of the Second Amendment have influenced our national crisis. We talk about the shift from historic Christian nonviolence to the embrace of firearms, the political power that keeps common-sense reforms stalled, and what other countries have done to reduce mass shootings. We also explore why “thoughts and prayers” aren't enough and what a truly pro-life ethic demands of us today. If you long to break cycles of violence and return to the nonviolent way of Jesus, this is an essential and challenging conversation.William J. Kole is a veteran journalist and a former foreign correspondent who has reported from North America, Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. As Vienna bureau chief for The Associated Press, he wrote extensively on the nexus of crime, the weapons trade, arms trafficking and terrorism across Eastern Europe.His evangelical credentials are as extensive as his journalistic ones: He's a former lay missionary for the Assemblies of God, a worship leader at evangelical churches in Europe and around his native New England, and served as board president of Dorcas USA, an international Christian relief and development agency.Kole was AP's New England bureau chief when a gunman armed with a military-style assault rifle massacred 20 first-graders and six adults at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Newtown, Conn. Earlier in his career, he was a lead writer on the car crash that killed Britain's Princess Diana, and he also covered the arrest of former Yugoslav strongman Slobodan Milosevic, the death of Pope John Paul II, and Kosovo's independence. His many awards include one from the Society of American Business Editors & Writers for an investigation into the exploitation of undocumented immigrants by the Walmart retail chain.Kole, who speaks French, Dutch and German, studied journalism at Boston University and was a journalism fellow at Columbia University in New York and the National Press Foundation in Washington, D.C.

Reformatting Agrarian Life presents a stealth urban history from the countryside that foregrounds the mutual entanglements of agrarian and urban expertise. William J. Glover traces an essential genealogy for understanding how urbanism unexpectedly left the city in late colonial India and began to settle in agrarian space, exploring how two milieus that were initially seen as distinct were gradually brought together both conceptually and in practices of ordinary life. He argues that rural change and the expert knowledge associated with managing the countryside in colonial India opened paths for urban concepts and forms to permeate agrarian settings where they were previously thought to have little relevance. This process indelibly shaped idioms and modes of agrarian life, just as it gave rural problems and processes a structural role in urban discourse. By illuminating the intellectual paths by which agrarian and urban processes came to be understood as co-constituting, and exploring multiple vivid, empirically rich case studies of projects where those relations were made evident, this book presents a compelling case to move beyond traditional intellectual silos and enter new theoretical territory to understand processes of urban and rural transformation. Arighna Gupta is a doctoral candidate in history at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor. His dissertation attempts to trace early-colonial genealogies of popular sovereignty located at the interstices of monarchical, religious, and colonial sovereignties in India and present-day Bangladesh.

The Beauchamp-Sharpe tragedy of 1825, sometimes called the Kentucky tragedy, involves a politician, a young lawyer, and the lawyer’s wife. It unfolds as a story of sexual scandal and political intrigue that ultimately led to murder. Research: Beauchamp, Jereboam O. “The confession of Jereboam Beauchamp (written by himself) who was executed at Frankfort, Ky., for the murder of Col. Solomon P. Sharp, a member of the legislature, and late attorney-general of Ky. To which is added some poetical pieces written by Mrs. Ann Beauchamp, who voluntarily put a period to her existence on the day of the execution of her husband, and was buried in the same grave with him.” H.T.

From All Bones Considered: Laurel Hill Stories #072, segment 2 William J. Mullen was the first President of Female Medical College of Pennsylvania. He is remembered for his tireless philanthropic work among inmates at Moyamensing Prison and for his over-the-top grave marker in the south section of Laurel Hill East. 

The film author and teacher William J. Mann makes his first appearance on the podcast. Mann is a New York Times-bestselling author of many books on Hollywood and the American film industry, including his most recent "The Contender: The Story of Marlon Brando", for which he was granted access to Brando's private estate archive, as well as "Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn" (named a Notable Book of the Year by the Times); "Hello Gorgeous: Becoming Barbra Streisand: (praised by USA Today for its “meticulous research and insightful analysis”; and "Edge of Midnight: The Life of John Schlesinger", for which he worked closely with the Oscar-winning director. Mann won the 2014 Edgar Allan Poe Award for "Tinseltown: Murder, Morphine and Madness at the Dawn of Hollywood," which reveals how an unsolved murder in 1922 created the American studio system. He's recently completed "Bogie and Bacall: The Surprising True Story of Hollywood's Greatest Romance", forthcoming from HarperCollins in spring 2023. Mann is also a professor of film and popular culture at Central Connecticut State University. He's been featured in several documentary films about Hollywood history and has served as a consultant for various television programs. His interest in writing about Hollywood has always been to explore how movies both reflect and shape their times, as well as how the business of filmmaking—the selling of dreams and illusions—can reveal so much about society and ourselves.

Women sent cables, made dead drops, and maintained the agency's secrets. Despite discrimination—even because of it—women who started as clerks, secretaries, or unpaid spouses rose to become some of the CIA's shrewdest operatives. They were unlikely spies—and that's exactly what made them perfect for the role. Because women were seen as unimportant, pioneering female intelligence officers moved unnoticed around Bonn, Geneva, and Moscow, stealing secrets from under the noses of their KGB adversaries. Back at headquarters, women built the CIA's critical archives—first by hand, then by computer. And they noticed things that the men at the top didn't see. As the CIA faced an identity crisis after the Cold War, it was a close-knit network of female analysts who spotted the rising threat of al-Qaeda—though their warnings were repeatedly brushed aside. After the 9/11 attacks, more women joined the agency as a new job, targeter, came to prominence. They showed that data analysis would be crucial to the post-9/11 national security landscape—an effort that culminated spectacularly in the CIA's successful effort to track down bin Laden in his Pakistani compound. Propelled by the same meticulous reporting and vivid storytelling that infused Code Girls, The Sisterhood offers a riveting new perspective on history, revealing how women at the CIA ushered in the modern intelligence age, and how their silencing made the world more dangerous. 915-930 2/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023  by  Liza Mundy  (Author) 930-945 3/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023  by  Liza Mundy  (Author) 945-1000 4/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023  by  Liza Mundy  (Author) SECOND HOUR 10-1015 5/8: The Sisterhood: The Secret History of Women at the CIA Hardcover – October 17, 2023  by  Liza Mundy  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Sisterhood-Secret-History-Women-CIA/dp/0593238176/ref=asc_df_0593238176&mcid=d8b024f8944a3cfb869a04c0b84ba964?tag=bngsmtphsnus-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=80608071597838&hvnetw=s&hvqmt=e&hvbmt=be&hvdev=c&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=&hvtargid=pla-4584207596928557&psc=1 Created in the aftermath of World War II, the Central Intelligence Agency relied on women even as it attempted to channel their talents and keep them down.
