This week we kick off in earnest a series called “Durable Prayers” — contemplating the prayers of desert fathers and historic leaders in the Christian faith who have shaped our faith through their prayer life. Today we begin with the prayer of St Francis, which … spoiler alert! … wasn't written by him. We'll look also at other prayer's that were written by Francis and we'll talk about the spirituality beneath the prayers. Winfield Bevins is our guide. Here's a Franciscan Prayer of Detachment that captures my attention: I pray you that the fiery and honey-sweetpower of your love may detach my soulfrom everything under heaven,so that I may die for love of your love,who out of love for your peopledid die on the tree of the cross. Amen.

You ever start a conversation about an inflatable hot tub and end up talking about touring Europe, skateboarding through airports, and why learning a trade might save your future? That's the energy here. We're hanging with Billy Winfield again, swapping stories about new-crib upgrades, pool life in Florida, and the kind of “small” purchases that quietly improve your day-to-day more than any flashy flex.Then the music talk gets real. Billy breaks down how he's building a career as an independent artist, from London, Manchester, Birmingham, and Bristol shows to throwing a Denver event that pulled a crowd without major promotion. We talk networking, features, and how momentum is earned when you're not backed by a machine. If you care about the music hustle, this is the unglamorous side that actually works: consistency, relationships, and showing up.Travel stories turn into culture shock fast: food differences, finding weed abroad, CCTV everywhere in the UK, and the awkward moment when strangers overseas want your stance on American politics. From there, we shift into construction, the value of blue-collar work, and why society's obsession with “easy money” leaves people without real skills. The plumbing disaster stories are funny, but the takeaway is serious: problem solving and hands-on competence still matter.Subscribe for more conversations like this, share the episode with a friend who'd appreciate the chaos, and leave a review if you want more guests like Billy. What's one skill you wish you learned sooner?

From 1972, Paul Hogan was the Australian tobacco industry's most formidable marketing weapon, the Winfield warrior in a new era of mandatory health warnings. When a total ban on ciggie commercials loomed, the manufacturers were to pivot and spend even more money with media companies and sporting bodies to ensure they stayed in play after that fateful day. Much later, Aussie A-list ciggie frontmen would all say the same thing: ‘But, we didn't know…'Support Forgotten Australia for a few bucks per month for ad-free early and exclusive bonus episodes and the chance to win prizes.Patreon: patreon.com/forgottenaustraliaApple: apple.co/forgottenaustraliaEmail: forgottenaustraliapodcast@gmail.comCheck out my books!They'll Never Hold Me:https://www.booktopia.com.au/they-ll-never-hold-me-michael-adams/book/9781923046474.htmlThe Murder Squad:https://www.booktopia.com.au/the-murder-squad-michael-adams/book/9781923046504.htmlHanging Ned Kelly:https://www.booktopia.com.au/hanging-ned-kelly-michael-adams/book/9781922992185.htmlAustralia's Sweetheart:https://www.booktopia.com.au/australia-s-sweetheart-michael-adams/book/9780733640292.html Hosted on Acast.

Leadville 100 week gave Microcosm both ends of the sport in a single day: coach TJ David's athlete McKendree Hickory won the women's race in her 100-mile debut, and TJ himself dropped at the Winfield turnaround after nearly fifty miles of not being able to breathe.Zoë and TJ take both apart honestly. On the win: what five months of coaching actually changed, why TJ inferred McKendree was naturally durable from four years of training history, and how identifying two points of friction — pacing discipline and a reluctance to lean into discomfort late in races — mattered more than overhauling everything. She raced her dress rehearsals under fatigue, ran a conservative early pace by design, and degraded only 8.25 percent over a hundred miles at altitude, where ten to fifteen is considered excellent.On the DNF: the difference between confidence and self-efficacy, why protecting mental bandwidth during race week is a training variable, and what it's like when a heart rate that should read 114 reads 140 at mile ten. TJ walks through the internal argument, the broken poles on Hope Pass, the decision at Winfield, and how he's processing a race he trained two years for.Plus a listener question up front: can you build a Boston qualifier on a treadmill, and what has to happen outside anyway.Questions for a future episode: microcosmcoaching@gmail.comCoaching and community: https://microcosm-coaching.com

In the final episode of the UU Leadville Uncovered 2026 series, Corinne Shalvoy and Russell Ditsworth break down the newly announced Leadville Trail 100 Run course and discuss how the reroutes compare to the traditional route. While the first and last sections of the race have changed, runners will still experience the heart of Leadville: Outward Bound, Twin Lakes, Hope Pass, and Winfield. Russell shares why he believes the redesigned course does an excellent job preserving the spirit and profile of the original race while reducing bottlenecks and technical terrain.The conversation then turns to race predictions, with discussion around top contenders, potential winning times, and how the faster course could impact both elites and mid-pack runners. Corinne and Russell predict a competitive race on both the men's and women's sides, while acknowledging the legendary performances that have defined Leadville history.Russell also shares a candid look at his Leadville preparation. From his strongest training block to date, night running practice, gear choices, heat management lessons, and race-day strategy, he's entering the race feeling healthy, confident, and focused on pursuing the coveted Big Buckle while securing a Western States qualifier.The episode closes with details about Ultra Uncovered's live athlete panel at the Leadville Expo, shoutouts to the Castle Rock Run Club athletes racing and supporting the event, and an overview of expanded media coverage that will bring fans closer to the action throughout race weekend. HUGE Thanks to Open Fuel Nutrition for their support of the entire Leadville Uncovered series.Use code UU25 for 25% off your order.

For Matt Vira, the Leadville 100 has never been just another race. It's home.A Twin Lakes local and longtime Colorado mountain runner, Matt has spent years living, training, and racing on the very trails that make up the Leadville course. But despite his success in shorter mountain races, Leadville has remained unfinished business. In this episode of Leadville Uncovered, Matt shares his journey from Division I cross-country runner at Bucknell University to one of Colorado's fastest and most consistent ultrarunners. Like many collegiate runners, he initially considered the marathon route, but a move to Leadville during the pandemic completely changed his trajectory and introduced him to ultrarunning through the Silver Rush 50. The conversation dives deep into Matt's complicated relationship with the Leadville 100. In 2022, he unknowingly ran 50 miles while experiencing rhabdomyolysis. Then, in 2023, he found himself leading the race by 10 minutes at Winfield before making the difficult decision to drop and avoid another hospital visit. Rather than immediately returning, Matt stepped away for two years and approached the race with a different mindset. Instead of simply becoming fitter, he focused on identifying the small details that ultimately determine success in a 100-mile race: nutrition, hydration, cooling, race execution, and preparing his body for the relentless climbing that defines Leadville. Matt also offers practical insights into racing at altitude, explaining why heat may be the most overlooked challenge at Leadville and why cooling strategies can be just as important as acclimatization. He shares his thoughts on Hope Pass, his surprising affection for Powerline, and why he believes the race isn't won on Hope but can certainly be lost there. More than anything, this conversation is about growth. Matt's goal isn't necessarily a specific finishing time. It's something much deeper: putting together a complete race.And if his prediction for the post-race newspaper headline comes true, perhaps this will finally be the year that "third time's the charm."

Will Beauty Save the World? Can beauty lead us to God? Has the modern Church forgotten the formative power of art, architecture, music, story, and worship? And what might an ancient-future vision of Christianity offer a culture hungry for meaning?In this episode of More Christ, I sit down with Dr Winfield Bevins - theologian, author, artist, and founder of Creo Arts - to explore the relationship between beauty, truth, goodness, and the Christian life.Drawing on his latest book, How Beauty Will Save the World, Winfield argues that beauty is not an optional extra but an essential part of Christian witness. Together we discuss the role of the arts in evangelism and discipleship, recovering historic liturgy and ancient-future worship, the vocation of Christian artists, C.S. Lewis, the imagination, and why beauty still has the power to awaken people to God.I hope this conversation encourages you to see beauty not simply as decoration, but as something that points beyond itself to Christ.Find Winfield Bevins:Website:https://winfieldbevins.comBooks: https://winfieldbevins.com/booksCreo Arts:https://creoarts.orgInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/winfieldbevinsRecommended books:How Beauty Will Save the WorldLiturgical MissionEver Ancient, Ever NewSimply AnglicanMarks of a MovementIf you enjoyed this conversation, please consider subscribing, leaving a review, and sharing it with someone who might find it helpful.

Which John Cooper-Era Buckeye Would Guarantee a Title for Ohio State? | Buckeye Weekly PodcastOn the Buckeye Weekly Podcast, Tony Gerdeman and Tom Orr kick off a series revisiting past Ohio State eras by debating which John Cooper-era players they'd add to the current Buckeyes to best ensure a national championship. Both agree Orlando Pace is the obvious top choice and discuss where he'd play on today's offensive line, calling him possibly the best Ohio State player they've ever seen. They then consider other additions, including David Boston alongside Jeremiah Smith and other receivers, plus options like Terry Glenn and Joey Galloway. On defense they highlight Dan “Big Daddy” Wilkinson and discuss adding Antoine Winfield, along with mentions of Shawn Springs and Andy Katzenmoyer.

Bam Margera drops a rap diss and the internet does what it always does: dares you to watch. We took the hit for you and ran the live reaction, but the real heart of this one is Jacksonville's own Billy Winfield stepping into the studio with us to talk skateboarding, music, and how a scene shapes the person you become.Billy's a local skateboarder and hip hop artist with a gritty, dark sound, and he's got the stories to match. We go deep on growing up skating Kona Skatepark, learning tricks young, and how your style evolves when you're chasing progression, catching slams, and dealing with the reality of injuries and getting older. From mini ramps to step-ups, we get nerdy about what feels right on a board and why skateboarding builds a kind of confidence you can't fake.Then we pivot into the music path: a drummer dad, a house full of sound, and a crash course in foundational hip hop like Wu-Tang, Tupac, and more. We talk catalog building, the pain of losing files, and why planning a smart release matters. Billy also previews his concept project “Failed To Load,” with track phases like startup, processing, error, reboot, and data retrieval, plus upcoming shows including a Jacksonville headline date.If you're into skate culture, Jacksonville hip hop, dark rap, and unfiltered takes on internet chaos, hit play, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave us a review with your favorite moment from the conversation.

“This is a way to understand how the voice operates in all its parts – perceptually, physiologically, and acoustically -- so that we can learn to stop doing things that are unnecessary for a particular outcome. A lot of people get worried when they hear anything talking about muscles or working the voice or effort, that we're talking about doing it all all the time. Why do we do what we do in this profession, and how can we utilize some of this science- and evidence-based knowledge to help ourselves not eliminate the things we say but inform them?”Dr. Brian J.

This week, a special road trip episode featuring award-winning Owensboro, Kentucky bluegrass singer/songwriter Rick Faris and his band recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Rick Faris is a Kansas Music Hall of Fame Member who was recently awarded the “Songwriter of the Year” at the 2024 International Bluegrass Music Association Awards making him an 8-time IBMA Award winner.

Retired Navy Senior Chief Travis Winfield is a bestselling author and the CEO of Military Operated Real Estate (MORE), the first national real estate brand built specifically for service members and veterans. He went from growing up with almost nothing to building a powerhouse six‑agent team that has closed over 700 homes and more than $350 million in sales, and his mission now is to fix the financial literacy crisis holding military families back from real wealth. On this episode we talk about: How Travis went from bad credit, 25% car loans, and debt to building a multi‑million‑dollar real estate business. Why so many service members leave the military in a worse financial position than when they joined. The blended retirement system, why it's dangerous without financial literacy, and what it means for younger service members. How military families can use benefits like the VA loan, GI Bill, and state education programs to build long‑term wealth instead of selling key assets. How MORE and programs like SkillBridge and GI Bill on‑the‑job training help veterans transition into real estate with a real runway instead of starting from zero. Top 3 Takeaways You do not need to start wealthy to build wealth; understanding budgeting, debt payoff, and compound interest is enough to change your financial trajectory. Military benefits like the VA home loan, education benefits, and the new blended retirement plan can be powerful wealth tools—but only if service members actually know they exist and how to use them. Real estate remains one of the strongest paths to long‑term wealth for veterans, especially when combined with VA loan strategies, house hacking, and guided transition programs into the industry. Notable Quotes "Everybody thinks you need to have wealth to build wealth—but you can come from nothing and still build a multi‑million‑dollar business." "Congress basically banked on the lack of financial literacy with the blended retirement; if you don't understand it, you'll choose spending today over security tomorrow." "Every service member deserves to own a piece of the land they defend—hard stop."

This week, another special road trip episode featuring world renowned dobro and guitar Jedi duo Rob Ickes & Trey Hensley recorded live at the 2024 Walnut Valley Festival in Winfield, Kansas. The annual Walnut Valley Festival, now in it's 53rd season, is one of the oldest and most respected acoustic music festivals in the world. Held at the Winfield, Kansas fairgrounds, more than 30 musical acts will perform on four separate stages, presenting over 200 hours of live music. Also, there is a dedicated contest stage where contestants vie for national and international championships in Finger Style Guitar, Flat Pick Guitar, Bluegrass Banjo, Old Time Fiddle, Mandolin, Mountain Dulcimer, Hammered Dulcimer, and Autoharp. There is a juried arts and crafts fair, exhibits by renowned instrument makers and music shops, family activities, a bevy of food vendors, a farmer's market and even a pub! An unusual aspect of Walnut Valley is its campground tradition. Campsites are not reserved and campers line up to claim a choice campsite during the "Land Rush.” Walnut Valley Festival goers often bring their own musical instruments to participate in the sometimes all night campground jam sessions. Bands like Old Sound and Sally & The Hurts that began as "Jam Bands" in the campgrounds, have even been invited to perform at the festival. Take a 15-time IBMA (International Bluegrass Music Association) Dobro Player of the Year and a Tennessee-born guitar prodigy who made his Grand Ole Opry debut at the age of 11 and you have Rob Ickes and Trey Hensley, a powerhouse acoustic duo that has electrified the acoustic music scene. Known for their white-hot picking, stone country vocals with soul and world class live musicianship, Ickes and Hensley meld together blues, bluegrass, country, rock and other string band music of all kinds to form a signature blend of music that defies restrictions of genre.  They are equally at home on stages of prestigious performing arts centers, theatres and the Grand Ole Opry as they are on Americana, jamgrass, bluegrass and jam band festivals. Ickes co-founded the highly influential bluegrass group Blue Highway and has been a sought-after Nashville session player and live performing musician for decades. Hensley has been called “Nashville's hottest young player” by Acoustic Guitar magazine and his soulful baritone vocals have received acclaim as well. - https://www.robandtrey.com/about-the-band/ In this week's “From the Vault” segment, OHR producer Jeff Glover offers a 2016 archival recording of Ozark originals Bobby Glendy & Ruthie Haney performing the classic A.P.
