This episode is a recording of a talk our Athletic Director, Norie Mueller, gave to Veritas families at the start of basketball season. (She did not know it was being recorded. You'll notice a jump in audio when she talks about the season's logistics.) Enjoy!

This talk will invite listeners to consider how daily conversation with the God of the universe shapes and changes our lives. Participants will spend time in stillness, silence, mediation, and prayer.

Norie Mueller is a Veritas mom of four, admin team member, softball coach and Greenville native. Through life’s suffering and grief, she has learned how to lament and is still learning how to pray. Her favorite place to pray is her screened-in porch where you can find her most mornings with a cup of coffee.

The Young family has found much enjoyment reading Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy aloud together.  They’ll share practical tips from their experience and hopefully convince you that it is worth the effort.

Morgan and Morgan Young (yes, you read that correctly,) have four children and love the way Tolkien helps them carve out time together.

When Jesus is tempted by Satan in the wilderness, He is offered the whole world if He bows down and worships Satan.  Interestingly enough, Jesus does not respond by saying, "this world is not even yours to offer."  Perhaps this is why Paul calls Satan, "the prince of the air."  He has great power in this life and as the father of lies, he knows how to use his power for our ruin.  Milton makes this creature the protagonist of his great work, Paradise Lost.  By looking at Milton's portrayal of Satan, we can get a glimpse at how he uses his power to deceive us and thus by God's grace, we may learn something about how to resist that deception.
