    Storms, Protests, and a Shifting Economy: The Stories Behind the Headlines

    In this week’s episode of Still Here, I turn 61 and reflect on a life filled with twists I never expected — moments I thought would be endings that turned out to be beginnings. Inspired by the wisdom of Fred Rogers and grounded in the promise of Romans 8:28, we explore how purpose often emerges from challenge. Then, we shift to the news that’s captured our attention:The brutal winter storm that crippled travel — flights canceled, temperatures plunging to 40 below, and over a million without power.A surge of unrest in Minneapolis after federal immigration enforcement actions resulted in the fatal shooting of a U.S. citizen and subsequent clashes between protesters and ICE/Border Patrol agents, including reports of an officer being seriously injured during protests. Major developments have sparked national debate on use of force, accountability, and federal-local relations.What “peaceful protest” looks like — and how individual incidents are being interpreted and investigated one by one.Housing market dynamics: mortgage rates remain uncertain, yet homeowners continue to tap equity through HELOCs.A somber moment in sports news with the death of former Eagles defensive tackle Kevin Johnson at a homeless encampment.The curious case of “Bitcoin Jesus” who avoided prison thanks to political connections.Why 71% of Realtors didn’t sell a single home last year — exploring market headwinds and shifting buyer behavior.Finally, we look at a growing health concern among visitors and workers at major theme parks — including a highly contagious influenza spreading through crowded environments.Join me for a thought-provoking mix of personal reflection and the headlines shaping our communities, country, and conversations.
