No Grit No PearlDeborah Did Not Come to Play: Leadership, Courage & SongIn this Slow Down Sunday, we sit down with Deborah—judge, prophetess, and fearless leader of Israel—who didn’t wait for someone else to go first. When Barak hesitated, she stood tall and said, “Let’s go.”Deborah wasn’t just offering advice from the sidelines—she led with conviction, sang in victory, and obeyed in the midst of fear. Her story in Judges 4 and 5 reminds us that obedience doesn't have to be loud to be powerful—and sometimes, the most courageous thing you can do is sing after the storm.Whether you’re in a season of waiti...2025-07-2310 minNo Grit No PearlLot’s Wife: Looking Back Can Cost You EverythingThe last episode of Season 1!

But we can move forward when God says, “It’s time to go.” 🔗 Visit https://www.songbirdonthewire.com for the full blog post, print...2025-07-1511 minNo Grit No PearlSlow Down Sunday | Texas & Mark 5I apologize for the messiness of this podcast.

spookylorreJulie Newmar FEMINIST and the FUZZ clipAn unusually earthy comic role for Julie, and she's got the streetwise speech pattern down perfectly. David Hartman's the cop, and in this made-for-TV item, Barbara Eden is the feminist. Twisting the plot, Julie Newmar, Farrah Fawcett, Joanne Worley and the late great Harry Morgan.2012-01-0501 min
