Rarified Heir PodcastEpisode #240: Kiki Ebsen (Buddy Ebsen)Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Kiki Ebsen, daughter of actor, dancer and singer Buddy Ebsen. Talking with Kiki was a real joy. One of the true joys of doing this podcast is to not only learn about the most known parts of being a child of a celebrity but the more, unlikely one's as well. What do we mean? Well, of course we hear about The Beverly Hillbillies, The Wizard of Oz and Barnaby Jones. But how many other podcasts ask the tough questions, like, "What kind of car did...

Everyday Disciple PodcastGratitude, Grace, and the GospelGratitude is more than delighting in a gift; it is a feeling of happiness directed toward a person for giving you something good. Growing in our ability to consistently be grateful and express gratitude is not only life-changing but is part of becoming a mature disciple of Jesus.
This episode of the Everyday Disciple Podcast examines the connection between gratitude, grace, and the Gospel. You’ll discover how expressing gratitude for the giver–not just the good gift–connects our hearts deeper to that person and is a picture of the gospel in and of itself.
Think of the godliest people...

I Wanna Be Me When I Grow Up13 - My ongoing struggle with building and maintaining relationshipsI met a friend I used to work with for coffee this morning. We got caught up on all the parts of our lives that you don't see on social media. While we text each other from time to time in between our coffee meetings, it's these get togethers that allow us to really connect deeply.
There are two elements to our coffee meeting that I think relate to the aspect of relationships. First, we met through work and neither of us work there anymore (a statement I can make about many of the folks I used to work...

Appaloosa RadioIn Josie’s BibleIn Josie’s BibleGlued inside a grandmother’s Bible is a newspaper clipping with a poem on it. During the Second World War, when the conflict and rationing made many things scarce, some women shared poems clipped from the newspapers instead of sending greeting cards or letters. An investigation leads to the discovery of the poetry of James J. Metcalfe, the most popular of these newspaper poets. In the early 1950s, Metcalfe’s poems were read by more daily readers than other newspaper stalwarts, including gossip columnists Walter Winchell, Hedda Hopper, and Louella Parsons; the ca...

2018-05-1007 minTracy's Tiny RebootsSelf-worth: An essential component for navigating changeWhen we lose everything or even one thing - marriage, career, home, whatever - we often realize how much of our identity was wrapped up in stuff, or money, or other people.
So in order to navigate the loss of that thing or lots of things, it takes time to reshape our identity.
2018-05-0906 minTracy's Tiny RebootsGod and the Universe and Navigating ChangeWhat I’ve learned about asking others about some of the most painful moments in their lives is that they finally figured out their relationship to the universe. And for some guests, they decided that - after years of wrestling with or denying the existence of God - they were looking at a Creator through the lens of some pretty jacked up people who didn’t much understand God either.

It’s a scary thought, right?
I’m Tracy Winchell, co-creator and host of the Reboots Podcast at Reboots Podcast.com.
This is lesson 05 in Series 2 of Tracy’s Tiny Reboots.
We’re celebrating 12 months of podcasting and interviewing more than two dozen people about their life and business reboots.
