We are all aware that mental/emotional well-being is essential to maintain on a surface level. But on a deeper level, research shows us over & over that emotional skills are thee foundation to human happiness & success. There is no such thing as a solely logical person. Emotions are what make us human, and we must learn how to interact with them, not because we're whiny or soft, but because emotions drive humanity. Emotions are at the root of everything humans do, and whether or not we will survive.(Please excuse my runny nose in this one

Sept 7th - Colossians 3 - Colossians - Rev. Cliff Woodman

On September 4, 925 – 1100 years to the day this episode is released – King Æthelstan was crowned at Kingston-upon-Thames. Æthelstan is most often talked about in the context of the famous Battle of Brunanburh, but maybe we should remember him instead as the first king of England. This week, Danièle speaks with David Woodman about Æthelstan's life, his rule, and his attempt to unite the kingdoms of Britain.You can join Danièle's class Calamity and Change: An Introduction to the Fourteenth Century at https://medievalstudies.thinkific.com/courses/calamity-and-change - use the coupon code backtoschool to save 15% 

The First King of England: Æthelstan and the Birth of a Kingdom (Princeton University Press, 2025) by Professor David Woodman is a foundational biography of Æthelstan (d. 939), the early medieval king whose territorial conquests and shrewd statesmanship united the peoples, languages, and cultures that would come to be known as the “kingdom of the English.” In this panoramic work, Dr. Woodman blends masterful storytelling with the latest scholarship to paint a multifaceted portrait of this immensely important but neglected figure, a man celebrated in his day as much for his benevolence, piety, and love of learning as he was for his ambitious reign.Set against the backdrop of warring powers in early medieval Europe, The First King of England sheds new light on Æthelstan's early life, his spectacular military victories and the innovative way he governed his kingdom, his fostering of the church, the deft political alliances he forged with Europe's royal houses, and his death and enduring legacy. It begins with the reigns of Alfred the Great and Edward the Elder, Æthelstan's grandfather and father, describing how they consolidated and expanded the “kingdom of the Anglo-Saxons.” But it was Æthelstan who would declare himself the first king of all England when, in 927, he conquered the viking kingdom at York, required the submission of a Scottish king, and secured an annual tribute from the Welsh kings.Beautifully illustrated and breathtaking in scope, The First King of England is the most comprehensive, up-to-date biography of Æthelstan available, bringing a magisterial richness of detail to the life of a consequential British monarch whose strategic and political sophistication was unprecedented for his time. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Aug 10th - Colossians 4 - Devote Yourself to Prayer - Rev. Cliff Woodman

Send us a textWe take listeners along on our bourbon hunting adventure in Chicago, revealing how the Windy City's whiskey scene differs dramatically from our experiences in Ohio and South Carolina.• Discovering the density of Chicago's liquor stores – passing 13 stores on one drive to Wrigleyville• Scoring Weller 12 for $50 at Woodman's during a massive 17-case drop• Finding allocated bottles readily available at reasonable prices across the city• Exploring Binny's flagship store, the third-largest liquor store in America• Enjoying a $50 Pappy flight at Binny's tasting bar with generous 2oz pours• Visiting Koval Distillery and sampling their unique wheat whiskey• Meeting with Martin Duffy and experiencing rare scotches at Green Post Restaurant• Ending our adventure at Delilah's bar with a pour of 2018 George T Stagg• Forming new friendships through bourbon, including late-night tastings of Eagle Rare 17Remember to check out our upcoming barrel pick in September and stay tuned for more details on our Crystal Glencairn Club.When six bourbon enthusiasts descend upon Chicago with rental cars and empty suitcases, magic happens. Our weekend adventure through the Windy City revealed a bourbon hunting paradise unlike anything we'd experienced in our home territories.Chicago's whiskey landscape stands in stark contrast to the controlled distribution systems of states like Ohio. Where allocated bottles might drop statewide back home, Chicago's liquor stores operate as independent whiskey islands, each with their own treasures waiting to be discovered. On a single drive from our hotel to Wrigleyville for a Cubs game, we counted thirteen different liquor stores – each offering unique selections at surprisingly reasonable prices.The highlight came at Woodman's, where we stumbled upon a freshly delivered 17-case drop of Weller 12 priced at just under $50 after tax. To put this in perspective, the same store had simultaneously received Weller Full Proof, 1792 Cognac finish, and Buffalo Trace's "Tater Salad" bottles (EH Taylor Small Batch). At Binny's flagship store – the third-largest liquor retailer in America – we indulged in a $50 flight featuring Old Rip Van Winkle 10, Van Winkle Special Reserve 12, and Van Winkle Family Reserve Rye, each poured as generous 2oz servings.Beyond retail therapy, we explored Koval Distillery's innovative grain experiments, savored rare scotches pulled from the vault at Green Post Restaurant alongside Martin Duffy, and capped our nights with pours of George T. Stagg 2018 at the legendary Delilah's bar. Most precious of all were the friendships formed along the way – from chance encounters in bottle release lines to fireside tastings of Eagle Rare 17 that stretched into the early morning hours.Whether you're a seasoned bourbon hunter or simply curious about exploring whiskey culture beyond the traditional Kentucky trail, Chicago offers an unexpectedly rich playground for whiskey lovers.

S2 E39 Abe Furth & Chip's Pineapple Fascination Abe Furth of Orono Brewing joins Bob Cutler to talk about Wild Maine's new pineapple seltzer, how après ski and après golf share the same spirit, and why their seltzers—vodka-based, unsweetened, and Maine-made—have exploded in popularity.
