Do We Question God?

Dare we allow ourselves to be angry with God.

By Anthony Corona

I recently turned this reflection into an audio recording about anger, faith, and the world we are living in.

It is about giving ourselves permission to grieve, to hurt, to question, and even to be angry.

But it is also about understanding where that anger is really directed.

Sometimes we believe we are angry with God when what we are actually angry with is a church, a religious institution, a leader, or an organization that claimed to speak for God and failed us.

Those are not necessarily the same thing.

Our churches, denominations, traditions, priests, pastors, teachers, and religious organizations can help us understand God. They can give us community, language, ritual, and connection.

But they are still human filters.

The institution is not God.

That distinction feels especially important in the divided and often ugly world we are living in today. We see faith and scripture used to separate people, judge people, and sometimes justify cruelty toward people.

I keep coming back to the Trinity.

The Father reminds us that there is something greater than ourselves.

The Son reminds us that God entered directly into human suffering, rejection, grief, and pain.

The Holy Ghost reminds us that God is still moving within us and among us, far beyond the walls of any church or institution.

Faith does not require us to deny our anger.

We can feel it.

We can name it.

We can grieve.

We can question.

We can wrestle.

But eventually, if we want to be free, we have to decide what we are going to do with it.

For me, the answer is surrender.

Give the anger to God.

Not because anger is always wrong, but because carrying it forever can change us. It can isolate us. It can harden us. It can make us resemble the very things that wounded us.

Maybe faith is not the absence of anger.

Maybe faith is trusting God enough to hand Him our anger and believing that He can transform it into understanding, compassion, courage, forgiveness, peace, and love.

This audio reflection is about that journey.

It is about questioning God, questioning the institutions that claim to represent Him, and trying to find faith, hope, and connection in a world that seems increasingly determined to divide us.

🎪🎙️ LADIES AND GENTLEMEN. FRIENDS AND FAMILY. BLIND FOLKS, SIGHTED FOLKS, AUDIO DESCRIPTION SNOBS, ADVOCATES, TROUBLEMAKERS, AND EVERYONE IN BETWEEN. 🎙️🎪

STEP RIGHT UP. THIS SUNDAY  , THE BIG TOP IS OPENING.

After years of somehow circling around one another without ever actually sitting down together, the long anticipated conversation has FINALLY happened.

In one corner.

🥊 The Bad Boy of Blind, Anthony Corona.

And in the other.

🥊 The bubbly beauty behind Blindy Girl, Serina Gilbert.

What happens when you put two fired up personalities, two advocates, two people who are not particularly interested in keeping their opinions tucked neatly inside the lines, and two microphones together?

Apparently you get part Fourth of July fireworks. 🎆

Part advocacy rally. 📣

Part therapy session.

Part comedy show. 😂

And a WHOLE lot of fun.

Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to Conversation One.

Yes. Conversation ONE.

Because somewhere along the way, Serina and I realized there was absolutely no chance we were getting everything into one conversation.

And believe me, we tried.

Serina shares her journey with retinitis pigmentosa and what it meant to grow into her identity as a blind woman.

We talk about family, acceptance, independence, employment, vocational rehabilitation, advocacy, and the complicated business of figuring out exactly who you are when the world has plenty of opinions about who it thinks you should be.

We talk about representation.

We talk about Nothing About Us Without Us.

We talk about Blindy Girl and how humor, honesty, lived experience, and a strategically deployed little bit of snark can educate, challenge assumptions, and build community.

And then we enter one of my favorite rabbit holes.

🎧 AUDIO DESCRIPTION. 🎧

Serina takes us behind the curtain of her work as a blind Audio Description Quality Control Specialist and explains why blind people belong inside the creative and quality control process, not simply waiting at the finish line to consume what somebody else has decided is good enough for us.

We talk about what makes audio description work.

What makes it fail.

Why Serina proudly calls herself an Audio Description Snob.

And what Nothing About Us Without Us really looks like when blind professionals have meaningful seats at the table.

We laugh.

We get serious.

We wander off course.

We find our way back.

And occasionally we discover that going off course was actually where the good stuff was hiding.

Basically, it is Sunday Edition exactly the way Sunday Edition is supposed to be.

Serina is vulnerable, funny, thoughtful, passionate, and wonderfully willing to go wherever the conversation takes us.

And by the time we were finished, there was only one conclusion.

We are absolutely doing this again.

🎪 So step right up, folks.

The Bad Boy of Blind meets Blindy Girl.

Anthony Corona and Serina Gilbert.

Conversation One. This Sunday at 1 PM Eastern  .

🎙️ Sunday Edition in partnership with Take 2 Radio presents Lorenzo Lamas.

Thirteen years later, we are taking another ride with Lorenzo Lamas.

After 13 years, Pam and Anthony welcome Lorenzo back for a wide ranging, relaxed, and wonderfully candid conversation about more than four decades of television, movies, family, adventure, and life beyond the screen. 🎬🏍️✈️

Of course, we had to go back to Falcon Crest. Lorenzo reflects on the complexities of playing Lance Cumson, the character audiences loved, hated, and sometimes loved to hate. He shares memories of working with the legendary Jane Wyman and looks back at the extraordinary television phenomenon Falcon Crest became.

Then we trade the vineyards for the open road and talk Renegade, a series that continues to have an incredibly loyal following all these years later.

But there is a whole lot more to Lorenzo Lamas than Lance Cumson and Reno Raines.

We talk motorcycles and his connection to the Boozefighters. 🏍️ We talk about his love of flying. ✈️ We explore why independent filmmaking continues to excite him and why there are still new characters, new projects, and new stories worth chasing.

Lorenzo also catches us up on his latest projects, including A Christmas Persuasion, President Down, and Checkmate, along with upcoming fan appearances at 90s Con and Monopoly Events.

And because you know us, we go beyond the resume.

We talk family. Hollywood legacy. The stories Lorenzo may still want to tell. The lessons that come with a career spanning generations. And what life looks like when the cameras are not rolling.

Thirteen years after our first conversation, there was a lot to catch up on.

So come spend some time with Lorenzo Lamas, Pam and Anthony. 🎙️❤️

You can find Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona wherever you listen to your podcasts.

From Falcon Crest to Renegade, from motorcycles to airplanes, from Hollywood history to whatever comes next, Lorenzo Lamas is still enjoying the ride.

And Pam and Anthony were delighted to ride along for a little while. 🏍️🎙️

The Practice of Happy

Conversation One: Choosing Happy

What does happiness actually mean to us?

Is happiness something that happens when life cooperates, or is it something we can choose, practice, notice, and make room for even while other emotions and experiences are present?

In Conversation One of our four part series, The Practice of Happy, host Anthony is joined by panelists Lorna, Mark, Gabriel, and Judy, with special contributions from Dr. Lynn, for an intimate and wide ranging exploration of what happiness means to each of us and how we find our way toward it through everything else that makes us human.

We began with personal reflections on happiness and quickly discovered just how different our relationships with the idea can be.

Gabriel introduced us to the concept of choosing happy. Not choosing happiness instead of everything else we feel, but recognizing that happiness can sometimes be an intentional choice we make for ourselves.

Anthony reflected on the idea of letting happy. What happens when we stop chasing happiness, defining it too narrowly, or waiting for permission to experience it, and simply allow happiness to find its place alongside everything else?

Judy reminded us about the importance of feeling what we actually feel. Sadness does not have to be replaced with happiness. Anger does not need to be covered with positivity. Fear, frustration, grief, disappointment, and uncertainty deserve to be acknowledged rather than pushed aside in an attempt to manufacture some version of happy.

Together, we discussed the possibility that more than one feeling, thought, or emotion can be true at exactly the same time.

We can be grieving and grateful.

We can be frustrated and hopeful.

We can be overwhelmed and still experience a moment of joy.

We can be disappointed by something happening in our lives and still recognize something else that makes us happy.

Happiness does not necessarily require the absence of everything that is difficult.

Mark offered another perspective, reflecting on how our jobs, advocacy, volunteerism, responsibilities, commitments, and the many roles we take on can create layers of buffering between ourselves and our happiness. Sometimes we become so busy doing, helping, producing, advocating, solving, and showing up that we forget to ask ourselves a deceptively simple question.

What makes me happy?

Throughout Conversation One, we kept returning to the idea of finding happy through the other emotions and situations we encounter every day rather than waiting for those emotions and situations to disappear.

And we are only beginning.

We closed our first conversation by moving from choosing happy and letting happy toward the larger idea at the heart of this series.

Practicing happy.

In Conversation Two, Happiness, Joy and the Space Between, we will explore happiness and joy. Are they the same thing? How are they different? Can one exist without the other? And what lives in that fascinating space between them?

We also teased where the rest of our journey will take us.

Conversation Three will explore what happens when life happens. We will look more closely at the stressors, disappointments, losses, responsibilities, pressures, and unexpected circumstances that can challenge our relationship with happiness, and how we navigate them without denying what we genuinely feel.

Then, in our fourth and final conversation, we will bring everything together through practical application. How do we take the ideas, experiences, questions, and perspectives explored throughout the first three conversations and actually put them into practice in our everyday lives?

Because perhaps happiness is not simply something we find.

Perhaps it is something we choose.

Something we allow.

Something we make room for.

And something we practice.

Host: Anthony

Panelists: Lorna, Mark, Gabriel, and Judy

Guest Contributor: Dr. Lynn

You Think I Am Blind. You Have No Idea How Much I Can See.

By Anthony Corona, founder of the Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media content services.

What do you see when you look at a Blind person?

The cane. The hesitation. The moment they need help. The stain on a shirt. The hand searching for a door handle.

But what are you missing?

In You Think I Am Blind. You Have No Idea How Much I Can See, Anthony Corona turns the idea of blindness around and asks a deceptively simple question.

Who is actually failing to see?

This personal reflection explores the enormous distance between what sighted people sometimes assume about blindness and the reality of living, adapting, learning, struggling, thriving, and building an independent life without sight.

It is about the hundred successful moments that can disappear behind the one moment when assistance is needed.

It is about learning to experience the world through sound, touch, instinct, memory, laughter, love, and compassion.

And it is about refusing the idea that blindness makes a person less whole, less capable, less happy, or somehow the inhabitant of a smaller life.

I have set this piece to audio using artificial intelligence and invite you to listen.

Because sometimes the person you assume cannot see may be noticing far more than you realize.

You Think I Am Blind.

You Have No Idea How Much I Can See.

Under Candlelight

An Audio Drama by Danielle Puderer

From The Amirra McCoy Project Audio Drama Podcast

A candlelit dinner in Paris.

Two men.

A conversation that lingers just a little longer than expected.

A walk along the Seine where what remains unspoken may matter more than anything either man can bring himself to say.

Under Candlelight is a lush, intimate romantic audio drama following Alain and Andre as something quietly extraordinary begins to unfold between them.

But this is a world where love does not exist in isolation.

There are expectations.

There are obligations.

There are lives waiting beyond the candlelight.

And there are feelings that cannot always be spoken aloud.

Through intimate conversations, stolen moments, memory, art, distance, and the haunting presence of words left unsaid, Under Candlelight asks what becomes of a love that cannot easily be lived in the open.

Can something hidden still leave a mark.

Can memory preserve what time tries to erase.

And can art give voice to a story that once had to remain silent.

We are not going to tell you what happens.

Instead, dim the lights, put on your headphones, and allow Danielle Puderer to take you to Paris and into the world of Alain and Andre. 🕯️❤️🎧

Secret Crush. A Romantic Mystery.

By Anthony Corona

What happens when a stranger seems to know exactly what makes your heart beat a little faster.

Josh is going about an ordinary life when he notices a mysterious young man watching him from across the way. Then the stranger appears again. And again.

Soon unexpected gifts begin arriving at Josh’s desk. A treasured childhood book. Favorite music. Chocolate covered cherries. Each one chosen with an unsettling amount of care. Someone knows what Josh loves. Someone has been listening. And whoever it is seems determined to bring a little old fashioned romance back into his life.

But who is his secret admirer. How does he know so much about Josh. And what happens when Josh finally discovers the man behind the mystery.

Secret Crush is a romantic story about attraction, surprise, longing, and two young men discovering that sometimes getting swept off your feet begins with simply being noticed.

I have created an audio version of Secret Crush, so settle in and give it a listen. 🎧❤️

Authors Note

I pulled this one out of the vault and used AI to narrate the audio version.

I originally wrote Secret Crush in my mid 20s, in the early 2000s, when we were still burning CDs, buying DVDs, and transitioning from beepers and pagers to cell phones. Yes, there are CDs, DVDs, Starbucks dates, and a world before our entire lives lived inside our phones. 💿📱

I did a little editing and cleaning up, but I deliberately did not try to turn it into something I would write today. This is where I was as a writer and as a young gay man around 25 years ago.

Reading it again all these years later surprised me. For all the little time capsules tucked inside it, I think the heart of the story has held up remarkably well.

Mystery. Romance. That delicious uncertainty of wondering whether someone likes you. And the wonderfully ridiculous lengths we sometimes go to when we really want to make someone’s heart flutter.

I hope you enjoy Secret Crush. ❤️

And if it leaves you wondering whether romance could be waiting on a park bench, in the mailroom, or just outside your line of sight, then maybe young me still knew a thing or two. 😉

THE MEASURE OF A HEART

A New Parable by Anthony Corona

It began with the sunrise.

No announcement. No warning. No explanation.

Across the world, humanity awakens to discover that something has changed.

Something is measuring us.

No one knows where it came from.No one knows who created it.No one knows whether it is science, judgment, evolution, God, or something humanity has never encountered before.

They call it The Measure.

And suddenly, everything we thought determined human worth is being questioned.

Money. Power. Status. Religion. Success. Justice. Even the stories we tell ourselves about who we are.

What is The Measure?

Why has it come?

And what happens to humanity when there is nowhere left to hide from what lives inside the human heart?

The Measure of a Heart is an original parable written by Anthony Corona and presented as a special audio production using a custom created AI narrative voice.

Listen at www.anthonycorona.com and across the Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media content services.

The Measure has arrived.

What would it see in you?
