Episode 298 · Mini Miracles From Minor Moments Have you ever said the right words but still felt completely misunderstood? This week on Mini Miracles From Minor Moments, I'm exploring something that touches every single relationship in your life — the tone, pace, and pitch of your voice. The way we say something carries just as much meaning as the words themselves. This episode gathers several short reflections recorded over recent weeks, all pointing toward one central truth: how we communicate shapes how we connect. What This Episode Is About From a morning full of mini-miracles — emissions tests, quick errands, and a license plate sticker that finally got done — to a thoughtful look at guarding your mind against fear and self-doubt, this episode is a warm collection of everyday wisdom. I talk about building emotional and physical endurance, the discipline of small daily habits, and the art of focusing on joy even when life is heavy. Woven through all of it is a longer reflection on the voice — how our intonation, pitch, and pace tell people far more than we realize, and how a simple smile in your voice can change everything. I also share some personal moments from my week — a cornea injury that a chance conversation with an orthopedic doctor helped catch, a pair of sunglasses still missing since Mother's Day, and the exciting launch of my Art Therapy group, which is now meeting on Thursday afternoons. These are the minor moments that carry real meaning, if we stay awake to them. Main Talking Points Mini-Miracles Happen When You Least Expect Them A morning that flowed — errands done, sticker on the plate, still on time for an appointment — is a reminder to stay positive and keep moving. When things pile up, a peaceful mindset makes all the difference. Guarding Your Mind Is a Daily Practice Negative thoughts, comparison, fear, and the need to control things can creep in quietly. Training your thoughts during peaceful moments is what pushes destructive thinking out. Emotional endurance grows from patience, self-awareness, and reflection. Small Physical Habits Move You Forward Whether it's making the bed, taking a walk, or drinking more water, the small things we repeat build momentum. Even a half-mile walk counts. Honoring the commitments you make to yourself strengthens your identity and keeps joy within reach. Focus on the Good, Especially When Life Is Hard Life always brings sadness, illness, and loss. Choosing to call up joyful memories — a kind person at the bank, a warm summer day, a photo wall of good times — is not denial. It is a discipline that keeps us open to the miracles right in front of us. Your Voice Is an Emotional Soundtrack The tone, pace, and pitch of your voice communicate emotions that words alone cannot carry. Speaking with urgency raises the other person's anxiety; slowing down anchors them. Whether you want to inspire, comfort, or simply be understood, a calm and intentional voice makes all the difference. The Same Words Land Differently for Everyone A boss can address the same group and leave one person motivated, another insulted. We have to ask ourselves: how do I want the person on the other side to receive what I'm saying? Tone in texts and emails carries meaning too — short and direct can feel cold even when we don't intend it. Put a Smile in Your Voice People can tell if you are truly smiling when you speak — over the phone, in a counseling session, even in a voicemail. When we are preoccupied or distracted, our voice gives us away. Being present in our tone is one of the most generous things we can offer the people we care about.

In this week's message, Pastor Jonathan reflects on how camp can be a place where the Holy Spirit can create bonds among the kids who attend. Not only that, but the experiences kids have at camp can, and do, leave lasting impressions. This is especially timely as many of our young people will be headed to camp this week.
In this Vacation Edition of the Greenside Up Podcast, Jordan and Jason catch up from the road—Jordan broadcasting from a family beach trip on Florida's Panhandle and Jason checking in from the mountains near Pigeon Forge, Tennessee. They swap stories about night crabbing, offshore fishing, Dollywood, cave tours, and even a behind-the-scenes look at the Bush's Baked Beans factory. Woven through the vacation highlights is a candid conversation about what it really takes to step away from your business: how Skyfrog Landscape has evolved since the "Siesta Key chaos" days, the impact of hiring and culture on being able to unplug, losing a key office manager, and why owners never fully "clock out." They also touch on industry events like Trees Florida, the Arbor Next youth program, upcoming trade shows, and a surprising win using AI ("Switchy") to diagnose a boat motor issue. It's a relaxed, real-world look at balancing work, leadership, family time, and the never-ending responsibilities of business ownership. Connect with Jason and Jordan:

"Using Audacity I added some effects to the recordinf to make it sound more organic so the swishing now could be a moving branch. I was making the effects as if from the natural world here in particular, where I am in rural New Zealand, as if to give an 'air' to the mechanical sounds of the loom."Traditional loom weaving in Juncalillo reimagined by Sonja von Kerkhoff.

Robert C. Cottrell is a writer with eclectic interests. Robert has written numerous books on topics ranging from American radicalism, the 1960s, and the counterculture to baseball, WWII-era conscientious objectors, and popular culture. His most recent work, The Heyday of Willie, Duke, and Mickey: New York City Baseball's Golden Age Amid Integration, involves a dissection of the ascent and descent of the New York baseball dynasty, with a close look at the New York Giants, the Brooklyn Dodgers, and the New York Yankees. That also involves an emphasis on those teams' star center fielders, Willie Mays, Duke Snider, and Mickey Mantle, as well as the shift of the Giants and the Dodgers to the West Coast. Woven throughout the book is an analysis of America race relations within and beyond the national pastime.

Discothèque Decadence Soundsystem presents: To The Manor Born: Swing House Nu Disco Party DD024 A tribute to the golden age of swing and jazz, from the roaring energy of the 1920s through to the big band brilliance of the 1930s and 1940s, reimagined with a modern nu disco, electro swing and house twist. This mix is also a tip of the top hat to one of the most unique and legendary nights in Durham, UK, reborn through the Discothèque Decadence lens with a Swing House twist. The journey celebrates the spirit of the original jazz age while bringing it firmly onto today's dancefloor, featuring heavyweight names and modern swing revival favourites including Parov Stelar, Caravan Palace, Club des Belugas, Swing Republic, Tape Five, Swingrowers, Ella Fitzgerald, Fred Astaire, Benny Berigan, Louis Prima, Fab Samperi, Klischée and more. Woven throughout the mix are original productions from The Funk Assassin, including Velvet Swing Affair, Minuit à Montmartre, Bourbon Bead Arcade, Manor Born, Velvet After Midnight and Midnight Foxtrot Symphony, created to sit naturally alongside the classic swing, jazz and electro swing sound that inspired the whole journey. Unlike a fast-cut club mix, this has been mixed to let each track play out in its entirety, allowing the arrangements, horns, vocals, rhythms and character of every record to breathe. The result is a continuous swing jazz band feel, like one long late-night performance inside a glowing manor house, where the dancefloor never quite stops moving. Dedicated with love and respect to Miles Davis for his heavenly 100th birthday, one of the true giants of jazz, innovation and musical freedom - and to Sonny Rollins, a true muse for this mix and one of the great spirits of swing, soul and improvisation. Save this one for the afters. The manor doesn't close early. TRACK LIST: 1. The Funk Assassin – Velvet Swing Affair 2. Fred Astaire, Club des Belugas – Puttin' On the Ritz (Club Des Belugas Remix) 3.

They make the case for where real agency value lives now: deep scientific acumen, strategic judgment, flawless execution and the stewardship that keeps client capability current.

here are musicians. And then there are musicians who carry an entire civilization in their voice. On this episode of The Avrum Rosensweig Show, Avrum sits down with the extraordinary Mark Rubin — bassist, folk singer, storyteller, defender of Jewish dignity, and the self-described “Jew of Oklahoma.” This is not simply a conversation about music. It is a journey through Jewish identity in the American South, generational memory, anti-Semitism, bluegrass culture, Native American solidarity, Yiddish resistance songs, and the moral courage required to stand openly as a Jew in a changing world. Mark speaks candidly about growing up Jewish in Oklahoma, swastikas painted on his family home, his father's warnings about history repeating itself, and the shocking anti-Semitism he encountered inside the bluegrass world that ultimately redirected his life toward Yiddish music and Jewish cultural activism. Woven throughout the interview is music itself — as resistance, memory, survival, humor, and defiance. A deeply soulful, provocative, funny, painful, and inspiring conversation. Major Moments in the Interview 03:17 — Mark explains his identity as a Southern American Jew and the unique fusion of Oklahoma roots culture and Jewish consciousness. 13:42 — A powerful discussion about Oklahoma, Native American history, genocide, and how Mark's father connected Holocaust consciousness to Indigenous suffering in America. 21:19 — Mark shares the haunting lesson his father taught him: “Every hundred years or so, the world turns its back on the Jews.” 34:01 — Mark recounts the devastating anti-Semitic moment inside the bluegrass world that changed the course of his musical life forever. 42:08 — Mark explains why he created “The Jew of Oklahoma” and why he refuses to surrender either his Jewish identity or his Southern roots. 44:32 — A moving conversation about Yiddish poet Mordechai Gebirtig, Holocaust memory, and the role of Jewish music as prophecy, warning, and resistance. Watch this fascinating interview with a very special Jew from Oklahoma, who stands courageously with our people. Am Yisrael Chai. The Nation of Israeli Lives!!! ——

In hour 1, Walter Sterling highlights the spiritual and emotional burdens of war through the eyes of Father Jim Ducker, a veteran chaplain who provided sacramental support to troops during Operation Desert Storm and now ministers to the wounded. The conversation then shifts to contemporary geopolitical tensions, as Edward Jones, a former Marine and intelligence expert, provides a detailed analysis of the apprehension and tactical readiness of American forces currently stationed in the Middle East near Iran. Woven throughout these expert segments are poignant listener anecdotes that preserve the legacy of World War II veterans, emphasizing the selfless sacrifices made for American freedom and the enduring importance of military service organizations.

Quick SummaryIn this candid solo session, Kelsey answers your top marketing questions — covering pricing strategy, how to evaluate cold PR pitches, and what to do when your Instagram feels scattered and purposeless. Woven throughout are honest life updates: navigating her second pregnancy, the power of accountability, and how to embrace change as an entrepreneur.In This EpisodeWhy accountability partners (and assistant nudges) are the secret to getting things doneHow pregnancy #2 has looked very different — and why Kelsey is packing her calendar before mat leaveDebating winter babies vs. summer babies (she genuinely wants your input)The Picasso story and what it teaches you about price vs. valueHow to know if your prices are too low, too high, or just rightThe truth about cold pitch emails — when to say yes and when to runA step-by-step Instagram strategy for business owners who feel scatteredThe four-part Instagram sales funnel: Create, Connect, Collect, ConvertWhy showing up imperfectly beats waiting for perfect every timeKey TakeawaysAccountability changes everything. You'll cancel on yourself, but you won't cancel on someone else. Use that psychology intentionally — schedule with others, hire coaches, or create external check-ins to move your biggest projects forward.Pricing is a gut check. If you feel undervalued after every transaction, your prices are too low. If you feel like you're ripping someone off, they may be too high. When it feels like a mutual exchange of value — you've nailed it.Evaluate cold pitches with your wallet and your gut. Only pay for media opportunities you're 100% okay losing. Ask for traffic stats, audience demographics, and backlink terms. Some are incredible; many aren't.Brand pillars create consistency. Before you open Instagram again, define 3–4 content pillars — at least one professional, one personal — and some rules for what you won't post. Decision fatigue is the enemy of consistency.Don't stop at "create." Most business owners post and walk away. The real magic is in connecting with your audience, collecting intel on what they need, and then actually making an offer.Memorable Quotes"Picasso was pricing based on his value. He's put in thousands and thousands of hours — so to charge on an hourly basis simply does not make sense.""Once you make that leap, you can then decide: is this the right place for me, or do I need to keep moving forward? That's what you do through life — you just keep turning the next page.""The ratio of people who show up and create good content is probably 1% of Instagram users. The people who want to consume? Probably 99%.

In this episode, drawn from his message on Acts 9:1-18, Pastor Matt walked through Saul's conversion with one driving idea: Jesus transforms sinners and sends them on mission. Three lessons anchored the sermon. First, Jesus confronts us in our direction — and as Pastor Matt pointed out, you can be sincere and still be sincerely wrong. Second, Jesus interrupts us with His presence because salvation is a divine act that demands a human response. Third, Jesus redefines our purpose. He doesn't just save you from something; He saves you for something. Woven into the middle of the sermon was the Antioch Training Program graduation, honoring those who completed Hope Church's rigorous five-year vocational ministry training. Rather than holding the ceremony separately, Pastor Matt intentionally placed it within the Sunday morning service so the whole congregation could witness what it looks like when the church rallies together to raise up the next generation. The moment powerfully illustrated that calling isn't reserved for a special few — it belongs to every Christ follower. The podcast discussion also expanded on material that didn't make it into the sermon, including a helpful breakdown of three types of calling, the difference between wisdom and discernment, and a word of caution about praying for God to humble you. As Pastor Matt put it, if God has to do the humbling, it's going to be a lot more painful than if you humble yourself.

The Monday, May 18, 2026, broadcast of The Tara Show delivers an intense four-hour blend of national security crises, domestic political battles, and cultural commentary. The program dominates the airwaves with explosive exposes on China, revealing the intense wartime security protocols surrounding President Trump's recent trip to Beijing, a harrowing physical standoff with Chinese officials, and damning intelligence leaks showing that China funded Democratic agendas, used a "floating armory" to bypass agreements not to arm Iran, and even provided the real-time satellite data Iran used to strike U.S. military bases. On the domestic front, host Tara Servatius repeatedly takes aim at the political left, dismantling Democratic outcries over conservative redistricting maps as hypocritical "Jim Crow 2.0" and "cheating" lies, slamming the party for backing a Maine Senate candidate with a Nazi tattoo, and demanding that the DOJ immediately dismiss all remaining cases against Trump. Woven throughout the heavy political coverage are lighter and local updates, including a deep dive into dating standards and a study on whether people marry someone smarter than themselves, a cautionary look at automated AI technology destroying industries in the UK while gaining self-writing capabilities, the high-profile appointment of Dr. Brennan Traxler as South Carolina's new Health Director, a legal update on why Alex Murdaugh could face the death penalty, and an urgent public safety warning regarding credible mountain lion sightings in Taylors.
This week on Sustainability Now!, your host, Justin Mog, talks about art and activism with Danica Novgorodoff, a New York Times best-selling illustrator with a new graphic novel out called “A Better World is Possible: Global Youth Confront the Climate Crisis."

Woven through the stories are deeply researched and fact-checked interludes that explore climate science, environmental justice, biodiversity, and more, along with— of course—solutions! They show us anyone can make meaningful change, because a better world is possible—and together, we can create it.

In this episode Genna Jacobs Freeman joins me for a conversation on biophilic design—the art of creating spaces that reconnect us with nature and support the nervous system, mind, body, and spirit. Together we explore how the environments we live in can either drain us or deeply nourish us, and how simple shifts in light, texture, plants, natural materials, and intentional design can transform a home into a sanctuary. This episode dives into the emotional and energetic impact of our surroundings, the healing power of nature-inspired spaces, and the subtle ways our homes influence stress, creativity, grounding, and overall well-being. Whether you're craving more peace, inspiration, or connection in your space, this conversation offers practical insight and soulful inspiration for creating a home that truly supports you.

Click here to send me a quick message :) Fascia is an extraordinary substance in our bodies that supports both structural integrity *and* fluidity. And it is a web that weaves throughout our entire form.It has more nerve endings than our skin, responds to our hormones, tenses and relaxes, hydrates and dehydrates and can be a root of chronic pain and/or stuck energy.It lines all of our organs and muscles and bones! And our endopelvic fascia (the fascia in our pelvis) has direct relationships all the way up to the ribcage.Our breathing, belly and feet all have clear connections to what Julie Hammond calls the Pelvic Diaphragm (instead of the pelvic bowl). And even our throat and jaw can have fascial impact on tension or relaxation of the muscles or tissues in our pelvis. I talk about all of this and more (you'll hear my excitement) on this week's episode.Resources:Free: Gardening guide for menstrual healthBook: The Pelvic Diaphragm by Julie HammondEpisode 22: Stinging nettles loveEpisode 77: Myofascial release for pelvic bowl and chest/breasts with Lindsay CourcelleEpisode 160: How to nourish fascia with Lisa MaséIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

Focus: Before creation began, Jesus was. The eternal Word through whom all things were made has now stepped into our world in flesh and blood. He comes not from a distance, but near enough to be seen, touched, heard, and trusted. In Christ, God is not hidden. He is revealed, full of grace and truth. This week invites us to behold the glory of Jesus and receive the new life only He can give. John 1:1-29
Packinghouse's Sunday morning worship service from May 10, 2026. Acts 7 closes with the powerful account of Stephen, the first Christian martyr, whose bold defense before the Sanhedrin exposed how easily people can turn religion, traditions, and even sacred places into boxes that try to contain God . As Stephen walks through Israel's history, he shows that God has always moved beyond human control and that the tabernacle, sacrifices, and temple all pointed forward to Jesus Christ—the true sacrifice who brings sinful people into God's presence by grace. Even as the religious leaders respond with rage and stone him to death, Stephen reflects the heart of Jesus by forgiving his enemies and entrusting himself fully to God. Woven through the message is a moving Mother's Day reflection, comparing the self-sacrificial love of mothers to the life of Stephen and ultimately to Christ Himself, reminding us that true greatness in God's kingdom is found in lives poured out for others. - Greg Opean - Sunday, May 10, 2026

Inside you'll find clean romance, adventures, historical fiction, redemption, hurricanes, family ties, and even a creative nonfiction piece on the history of the area. There's something for everyone. Just as importantly as the stories, 100% of the proceeds from the book are going to support women in need in Brunswick County, NC and Horry County, SC.

This episode of The UK Flooring Podcast sits down with Murray Biggs, founder of Woven & Woods, for a proper honest chat about retail, showroom design, customer experience, and what it really takes to build a flooring business that stands out.Murray shares how he went from working in carpet retail at 16 to opening his first showroom in Twickenham with borrowed money, limited budget, and a clear idea of what he didn't want to be. No red sale banners. No showroom packed with every stand going. No bland retail experience that looks like everyone else.Instead, Woven & Woods was built around impact, storytelling, and making the customer feel like they are in the right place before anyone has even started selling to them.The conversation gets into the thinking behind showroom layout, why too much choice can become a problem, how data helped Murray decide where to open his second showroom in Richmond, and why customer experience matters more than ever when footfall is harder to come by.It is also a very real conversation about the less glamorous side of growth: cash flow, overheads, staffing, warehousing, business partners, self-doubt, and learning how to back yourself again when business gets difficult.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How Murray started Woven & Woods with £25,000 of seed money and less than £10,000 left to build the first showroomWhy he refused to create a typical flooring shop full of manufacturer stands and sale bannersHow cheap materials, used properly, helped create a high-impact showroom with a clear identityWhy Woven & Woods limits its carpet ranges rather than trying to show everythingThe importance of using data, not just gut feeling, when opening a second showroomHow the river between Twickenham and Richmond affects customer behaviour more than you might expectWhy the first few steps inside a showroom matter, and how customers need space to settle into the environmentHow showroom design can tell a story before the sales conversation even startsWhy a messy showroom is a non-negotiable problem for MurrayHow to make flooring one of the enjoyable parts of a stressful renovation projectWhy customer experience is about much more than being friendlyThe hidden costs of running retail showrooms in London, including rent, rates, warehousing, staff, pensions, and cash flowWhy bigger businesses often come with bigger problemsThe best business advice Murray has read, and why focusing on what you are best at helped the business growThe danger of choosing the wrong business partner, even when the opportunity looks right at the timeHow a difficult year in business led Murray to question his decision-making and join Make or BreakWhy sometimes the thing holding the business back is the person running itMemorable Quote:“I would probably lose interest in the business if the business lost its wow factor to clients.”Speaker Information:Murray Biggs is the founder of Woven & Woods, a flooring and carpet retailer based in South West London, with showrooms in Twickenham and Richmond.Woven & Woods focuses on the mid to high-end residential market, helping customers choose flooring, carpets, wood flooring, and other products for homes and renovation projects.

In this rigorously honest conversation, author, speaker, advocate, and young woman in recovery Emi Nietfeld joins Dr. Tiffany Wynn to challenge the cultural narratives that equate suffering with strength and healing with achievement. Together, they explore what it means to reject recovery as a redemption arc and to release the pressure to turn pain into proof of worth.Emi shares her journey through foster care, homelessness, and significant mental health struggles, alongside the complex reality of later achieving many of the success markers society celebrates. She reflects on the dissonance of being seen as a story of resilience while still living with the lasting impacts of trauma, and how ambition can become entangled with survival, shame, and the need to justify one's suffering.Together, Emi and Dr. Tiffany unpack the myths of toxic resilience culture, including the expectation that trauma survivors package their pain into inspirational narratives. They explore the importance of creating communities where young women can be honest about struggling without feeling broken or behind, and how healing is shaped not only by individual effort, but by systems, relationships, and spaces that offer truth, connection, and a sense of belonging.Woven throughout the conversation are reflections from Emi's memoir, Acceptance, and a reminder that recovery is not about becoming stronger, more successful, or more palatable in the aftermath of pain. It is about telling the truth, being witnessed in our humanity, and remembering that we are always worthy of love and belonging—even when we are still healing.About EmiEmi Nietfeld is the author of Acceptance (Penguin Press, 2022), a memoir chronicling her journey through foster care and homelessness while interrogating the true meanings of resilience, ambition, and success.After graduating from Harvard in 2015, she worked as a software engineer, an experience she wrote about in her viral New York Times essay, “After Working At Google, I'll Never Let Myself Love a Job Again.”Emi's passionate about mental health, helping young people navigate their careers, and the connection between engineering and creativity. A dynamic, sought-after speaker, she regularly appears on podcasts, delivers conference keynotes, and speaks at universities and companies.Her essays have appeared in The New York Times, The Atlantic, Teen Vogue, Fortune, The Information, and other publications, been nominated for the Pushcart Prize, noted in The Best American Essays, and taught in classrooms from high schools to MFA programs.Connect with Emi: https://www.eminietfeld.com/ About Dr. TiffanyDr. Tiffany Wynn is a behavioral health leader with a PhD in Counsellor Education who focuses on trauma and resiliency, behavioral management, leadership, and professional development.

Our lives have divine meaning as we acknowledge God as our Creator, affirm that we are fearfully and wonderfully made in His image, and trust that He has uniquely designed us for His purpose. Even in our brokenness, God's love is proven through Christ, giving us both identity and destiny rooted in Him.

Woven throughout your life are monumental moments, defining decisions, and pivotal points that can literally change everything from that moment forward.

Maybe today is the day you cast aside what's been holding you back and rise up to be the man or woman of God you were created to be. Maybe this message is your monumental moment.

"I think there was some empathy for my younger self that I probably didn't have before... I think writing the book, I could look at myself as a seven-year-old girl or a thirteen-year-old with a lot of anger and a lot of reasonable reason to feel abandoned, rather than, wow, I was just really a problem child." — Jacque Gorelick Jacque Gorelick joins Mike to talk about her memoir, Map of a Heart: A Memoir of Love, Loss, and Finding the Way Home. The book follows a seemingly ordinary family outing that turns into a medical crisis when Jacque's husband collapses from cardiac arrest on a trail — with their nine-week-old son in the stroller beside her. Woven through that harrowing day is the story of Jacque's rootless childhood, the loss of her mother at age eight, and years of family estrangement. It's a conversation about grief, resilience, the power of writing to heal, and the family we build for ourselves when the one we were born into falls apart. Key Takeaways: Words have power from an early age. Jacque's love of writing started as a child — from clubhouse rules to thank-you notes — and eventually led her to memoir. Distance helps when writing about trauma. Having ten years between the medical crisis and putting pen to paper gave Jacque the perspective to write about it without being consumed by it. Writing memoir can build empathy for your younger self. Revisiting painful childhood memories allowed Jacque to see herself with compassion rather than shame. A cardiac arrest is not the same as a heart attack. Jacque learned firsthand that cardiac arrest is an electrical event that can strike even a healthy, active person. Caring for a newborn can be grounding in a crisis. The routine demands of nursing and caring for her son kept Jacque anchored during the most terrifying hours of her life. Found family matters. Despite estrangement from her biological family, Jacque discovered that the people who show up unconditionally become the family that counts. Reconnection is possible, even after decades. After more than 30 years of silence, Jacque reconnected with her brother — a reminder that it's never too late, even when it's complicated.

As we wrap up our year-long study on the Psalms, we reflect on how this book has encouraged personal faith and connected believers across generations, revealing God as both relational and sovereign. The Psalms portray a God of immense power who still invites honest, vulnerable dialogue, offering justice and mercy in equal measure. As the “songbook” of God's people, they create space for the full range of human emotion and call believers into a lifelong posture of worship—not just as an occasional act, but as a way of living. Through practices like reading, singing, memorizing, and praying, the Psalms become a continual source of spiritual formation, modeled by pillars in the faith like Tim Keller, who immersed himself in them consistently over decades.Worship is deeply embedded in human nature—everyone directs their devotion toward something. Vivid “stadium moment” experiences illustrate how collective passion and awe mirror the essence of worship: recognizing and responding to something greater than ourselves. Psalm 150 serves as a fitting conclusion, calling all creation to praise God with wholehearted expression, everywhere and at all times, for who He is and what He has done. Ultimately, the Psalms provide a lifelong soundtrack for faith, shaping a rhythm of worship that endures and deepens over time.Thank you so much for joining us on this journey through the Psalms!Scriptures:Psalm 150:1-6Show Notes:Purchase your copy of the Psalms Journal in Woven's shopSongs of Jesus: A Year of Daily Devotions in the PsalmsThe Book Tim Keller Has Read Every Month for 20 Years

A Journey Through Life and History: An Autobiographical Sketch by Radomysl Twardowski https://www.amazon.com/Journey-Through-Life-History-Autobiographical/dp/1964686091 https://www.linkedin.com/in/radomysl-twardowski-md-mba-793119213/ “…an evocative autobiographical exploration of personal growth, resilience, and cultural identity…a compelling read for those interested in autobiographical tales that blend historical context with personal reflection.” – Readers Favorite Radomysl Twardowski’s moving story of growing up in post-war Poland begins with early memories of walks around Krakow with his beloved Grandfather Karol. As it becomes clear to the young Rado that Poland’s history is rooted in Christianity, the solemn grandeur and religious atmosphere of places like Wawel Cathedral and other churches begin to have a profound impact on him. He would later be drawn to SSPX and Latin Mass, a subject of debate in the Catholic Church after the Second Vatican Council. After the rise of Solidarity in 1980 and the declaration of martial law in 1981, Rado leaves Poland for the US, where he graduates from medical school and practices cardiology for several years, eventually becoming a proponent for fitness and wellness. Woven throughout this gripping memoir set against the backdrop of dramatic political, religious, and newsworthy developments are the author’s stories of hardship and triumph over adversity-from a skiing injury at age twelve that left him with physical limitations to the dissolution of his marriage and a difficult separation from his children. Throughout this memorable journey through history, Twardowski offers us a deeply personal life story of exploration, loss, redemption, and survival.
