Romans 10:17 - So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of Christ. Psalm 19:7-9 - The law of the LORD is perfect, previving the soul; the testimony of the LORD is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the LORD are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the LORD is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the LORD is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the LORD are true, and righteous altogether.

Disciple Up # 187 What About Repentance, Works & Salvation? By Louie Marsh, 11-25-2020   Intro. Happy Thanksgiving!   An E-mail comes in:   Hello louie this is josh again and I have been struggling to understand this topic that I have came apon concerning ones salvation. The topic is a few questions, are we saved in just believing in christ or Is repentance required for salvation? Roman's 10:9-13. In this passage Paul does not mention repentance as a need for salvation. Is believing enough or is there more we need to do to be saved? What got me thinking about this was this video I watched on this topic, which I would like for you to watch and see if what his is saying is right   Mike, holdingfirmly channel on YouTube If You Do Well Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NOAdqrvjUn0&feature=youtu.be   “The Great deception among most Professed Christians is they refuse to recognize that Patient Continuance in Doing Well is the determining factor on whether or not they will enter the Kingdom of God. They think Salvation is a Package deal, that once they 'receive Jesus forgiveness of past, present and future sins is assured and nothing they do or don't do from that point forward has any bearing on the outcome of their inheritance of eternal life. Under the 'not of works', collective reasoning 'doing well' may be a by-product of Faith, but its never a necessity in that 'NOT doing well will disqualify them form the Kingdom.”   Mistakes – “he told Cain to do well which he wouldn't have done if he had a sin nature.” BUT Jesus regularly told people who were fallen to “go and sin not.” Plus later he says the whole structure of the Scriptures is God telling us to do well, but that contradicts which said about Cain.   “God expects an increase of His grace.”  What does that even mean? How can you or I increase God's grace since that comes from him and is a part of him?   This is based on a misunderstanding of the Old Testament Covenants (yes, there were more than one) and the New Testament covenant of Jesus.   He only quotes part of this passage and then concludes that the disciples were able to deal with sin –   “21And he said to her, “What do you want?” She said to him, “Say that these two sons of mine are to sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom.” 22Jesus answered, “You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am to drink?” They said to him, “We are able.” 23He said to them, “You will drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father.”” (Matthew 20:21–23, ESV)   - when the passage proves the opposite! Great example of Is eisegesis – forming an opinion and then forcing it upon the text.   This man cannot properly interpret Scripture.   He either doesn't know about or ignores one of the primary rules of interpretation of Scripture which is: You interpret the Old Testament in light of the New Testament. Not the other way around, which is what he does.   He points out that in the OT you had to work to be saved or in the kingdom, then he quotes Jesus to support this (mangling His words as seen above) and then concludes he's right. He forgets or ignores that Jesus lived under the Old Covenant and spoke to people who lived under it too!   It's not till He rises from the grave that the New Covenant takes effect.   They FAILED when they betrayed Christ!   I'm not saying he's bad or evil or is deliberately trying to mislead. I am saying he's wrong, woefully wrong and in a way that anyone who's taken even ONE class on how to interpret the Bible ought to be able to see.   Josh's Questions:   Are we saved in just believing in Christ or Is repentance required for salvation? Roman's 10:9-13. In this passage Paul does not mention repentance as a need for salvation. Is believing enough or is there more we need to do to be saved?   Does God expect an increase of his grace? Can you be saved in your sin by faith alone? Are there deeds required in faithfulness.   Watch out for Proof Texting   A proof text is a passage of scripture presented as proof for a theological doctrine, belief, or principle.  Proof texting (sometimes "proof-texting" or "proof texting") is the practice of using isolated, out-of-context quotations from a document to establish a proposition in eisegesis (introducing one's own presuppositions, agendas, or biases). Such quotes may not accurately reflect the original intent of the author, and a document quoted in such a manner, when read as a whole, may not support the proposition for which it was cited. The term has currency primarily in theological and exegetical circles.   “8But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); 9because, if you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved. 11For the Scripture says, “Everyone who believes in him will not be put to shame.”” (Romans 10:8–11, ESV)   Notice that this doesn't mention repentance. So is it really necessary? Proof texters would say this proves it's not important! But they taking the wrong approach. You need to look at all the verses on this subject and see what they say. Note that this verse doesn't say you have to ask God to forgive your sins either.   Is that now something we don't do?       Repentance is one of the things we do, along with believing, confessing and being baptized, that we do when we make Jesus the Lord of our lives.   Does God expect an increase of his grace?   Honestly and sincerely I don't know what this means.   “20Now the law came in to increase the trespass, but where sin increased, grace abounded all the more,” (Romans 5:20, ESV)   “15For it is all for your sake, so that as grace extends to more and more people it may increase thanksgiving, to the glory of God.” (2 Corinthians 4:15, ESV)   “6which has come to you, as indeed in the whole world it is bearing fruit and increasing—as it also does among you, since the day you heard it and understood the grace of God in truth,” (Colossians 1:6, ESV)   Can you be saved in your sin by faith alone?   I already answered this.   Are there deeds required in faithfulness.   “14What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? 15If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, 16and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? 17So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. 18But someone will say, “You have faith and I have works.” Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. 19You believe that God is one; you do well. Even the demons believe—and shudder!” (James 2:14–19, ESV)   “26For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, so also faith apart from works is dead.” (James 2:26, ESV)   You aren't saved by works, but your works prove your faith. That's it and that's all.   This guys “Doing Well” stuff has another fatal flaw in it that I've save for now – HOW DO YOU KNOW WHEN YOU'VE DONE WELL ENOUGH TO BE SAVED?   He gives no standard for us to look too. There's nothing about that in the Bible. So you are left up on your own never being sure if you are accepted by God or not.   You don't have to have read much of the NT to see that this kind of insecurity isn't typical of the language used about salvation. If he's right then no one can ever know they are saved since they cannot know if they done well enough.

Dean Neal Michell preaches on Romans 13:8-14What is the Christian response to the "Trump Effect?"Romans 13:8-14Love for One AnotherOwe no one anything, except to love one another; for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. The commandments, “You shall not commit adultery; You shall not murder; You shall not steal; You shall not covet”; and any other commandment, are summed up in this word, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Love does no wrong to a neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.An Urgent AppealBesides this, you know what time it is, how it is now the moment for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we became believers; the night is far gone, the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us live honorably as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.Support the show (https://www.episcopalcathedral.org)

Jeff Hickman starts off our series for August 2020 on The Kingdom of God.THE KINGDOM OF GOD: INAUGURATION"There is only one gospel...it is the transformative story of how Jesus, who preexisted as Son of God, came to be entrhoned as the universal king...Jesus proclaimed the one gospel by announcing the inaugation of the kingdom of God as well as its anticipated culmination." (From Salvation by Allegiance Alone by Matthew W. Bates) Some questions for reflection:Where in scripture do we see that Jesus's central teaching was on The Good News of the Kingdom of God?Is this different than the view you previously had on the meaning of "The Good News" or "The Gospel"? If so, how is it different?How is God's Kingdom at odds with earthly kingdoms today?How does individualism make the Kingdom of God smaller than it is supposed to be?Read Psalm 2, Isaiah 9:6-7, and Daniel 7:13-14What are your reactions when viewing these prophetic passages together?How did Jesus fulfill these passages in his life, death, and resurrection?What are the implications of Jesus being sovereign and King over us?1 Samuel 8:4-9Why does Israel ask for a King? Are there any parallels here to us and our lives?Why does God say that through this demand the people have rejected Him as their King?What does God's warning mean in verse 9?Things to consider:In what ways do you see the nations rejecting or accepting the reign and rule of God?In what ways do you struggle to accept the reign of God in your own life?How can the cosmic, universal plan of Jesus's kingship express itself in the life of our church? In our individual lives?Good idea for this week:Pray to understand what Jesus meant when he talked about the Kingdom. Click here for more resources on this sermon.

We would love for our audience to avoid the mistakes that we've made where possible. Because it's not just a mistake like it's all about failures and learning how to fail. and failure is a good thing. But we're talking here losing money because of failures. And I mean, obviously, we want to avoid that where we can. You can find Jason here: https://www.lasertunedconnections.com/ Joy can find Joy here: https://www.joynicholson.com/00:00Hi everyone, we are back with another episode jam-packed with information today, I and Jason are going to talk about the five ways to start a business right? And how to actually not start a business. Hi, Jason, how you doing?00:14What's up Joy doing good, how are you?00:15I'm doing good, thank you. We have both been burned with businesses in the past while like you know, like the wrong and the right ways of actually starting a business. And we know what you should not be doing. And we want to help you guys to potentially avoid the mistakes that we've made. Because it's not just a mistake like it's all about failures and learning how to fail. And you know, finally, failure is a good thing. But we're talking here losing money because of failures. And I mean, obviously, we want to avoid that way we can. So Jase can you tell us something like, what is your biggest mistake that you did the first time you did a business you know, like, what was your biggest the wrong way that you started? What was your biggest thing?00:56First, I just want to add on to what you just said. Yeah. Starting out of business. It can be very intimidating. I mean, not only you trying to figure out what business to get into, well, let's just assume we're doing an online business. Yeah. What we're going to be selling or promoting? Who do we listen to? Who do we know? To listen to or not? I mean, there's just so much information out there, nevermind the stuff that you're going to get online. You're going to get stuff from every avenue in your life, especially from the people that don't even know how to turn on a computer. You know, what do you listen but some of these people maybe like people that you respect the most in your life, your parents or whatever people that you think, well, these are the more intelligent people that I know in my life, I value what they have to say, very, how do I defuse what's right what's wrong what direction. So this is very important. So back to your question, the biggest mistake that I ever made in starting an online business or starting a business in general, because my first business wasn't completely online is chasing the cash and making that primary making money the first and only objective. Yeah. That is quick to lead you down some ugly, ugly paths, they will lead you down these five huge mistakes that we're going to talk about today. So that would be where I started off wrong, I think. But of course, when you're, maybe you've come to a point now you've decided to start an online business because it hasn't worked for you in brick and mortar business or wherever you were and you know, you're in a tight spot right now, money might be the driving force. But this is not where your thinking should I start for a successful business.03:11Yeah, I completely agree with you. And that's exactly the mistake that I made is that I want to make money, see the quickest way to make money. And it was the biggest mistake I made. Because yes, that is a drive for people when they start out, because it's like, normally what is it is like, either quit my job, or I lost my job and I need to figure out how to make money because there are not other companies that I can apply for or for work, or whatever it is, right? There's always something that money is a driving factor. But if you apply, as we say, we're going to talk about five things today that is the wrong things, basically, that you should not be doing starting a business and if you just change your mindset, a little bit about this, you will understand and realise that there is a right way to do something and yes, you will still earn money, but the money is going to come automatically because you've just you know I've done it the right way. So let's talk about this Jase because I think this is something that really struggles and I mean, I've got I know people that are really struggling to start an online business because I literally got I'm not even joking they are not even on Facebook like they don't know anything online or tick because I've just never been in that space. But you know, it's incredible there is a range of people out there that really wants to start a business and they have no clue because everything out there is so overwhelming. You know, there's just so much information out there. And what do you do if you have no clue? So number one, is basically being interested in the product, what's your feeling on that Jase? Like if you're not interested in a product, what do you think will happen?04:40Listen, if you're not remotely interested in what you plan on selling or promoting, you're not going to care. You know, I'm not interested in salt shakers. There are hundreds of different kinds that kinds of salt that they dispense how they dispense the salt, the types of salt that you use on different meats? Is it Himalayan salt? Is it pink salt? Is it salt with 64 of the major vitamins? Or is it the salt with the A? Is it NACL sodium chloride, which is just table salt, which is garbage. I mean, and I don't love anything about salt and I'll just wrap that off to you. If you don't have an interest in the slightest about what the hell you're going to sell. Number one, you're not going to want to learn about it because you just don't care. I don't care what Avenue the information is coming in, whether it's magazine or online, or whatever it is, you just don't give a shit. I don't care about salt. I love to cook so I do care about salt in some ways, but definitely not enough to sell it. So number one, you're not going to be interested in learning about the product. And number two, if you actually have to make a video or get in front of somebody to sell them a product that you don't like. It's gonna come up people buy you first.06:11I'm laughing so much because I can just imagine Jason sitting there trying to sell salt shakers because06:17it's just not going to happen. I have this thing when I teach my students is that if you're a man, you're not going to sell bally dresses. I know this is a weird analogy but you know, it's like if you're not going to sell bally dresses if you're not interested in bally if you like love camping or you love fishing or sell things related to what you love, you know, even if you don't have a passion, it's okay to not have a passion you know, but at least sell that interesting product. I mean, me and Jason started off selling a mutual product and we both love the product. But this is the other side of it. Even though we love the product. We don't make money selling it because we just don't sell it. Which is the ironic part right?06:58We've put out so much information on this shit, it's amazing.07:04We have a Facebook page of like, hundreds of posts, like literally, and this is like a failure in itself    because we put Facebook ads into this Facebook page and just like teaching people about, you know this product and are we making any money?07:21Yeah, looking at the numbers at the end of the month, it's like 20 posts 500 what do we sell? Nothing. I have none. Do you? No nothing.07:36It needs to be we had some inquiries, but and even though but this is the thing, even though we like the product, you know, it's like a thing that we enjoy. It's not something that we really interested in. It's like you said like, I like salt I cook with salt but I'm not interested in salt. There's a difference, guys. So, I mean, if you love to fish, but you're not really interested in fishing, then it's not the same thing I don't want to buy a lower from you.08:06It's hugely important and it sounds funny but you know, when you're promoting something that you like or remotely interested in, when education about that product comes your way, you will naturally want to listen. Exactly. To take in that information. You know, if it's something that you're not interested in, you're going to let that go in one ear and out the other. So when you're choosing this product, if you haven't already, make sure it's something that you can get into and get behind and speak intelligently about for God's sake, if I am talking to you about salt, let me know that you've had some in your life, you feel it's important.08:48And it's true like I said to Jasen before we started actually recording this episode, I had somebody that approached me on driving organic traffic to my Facebook because he's selling this but I'm looking at his Facebook profile and it's got like two or three people liking his posts and I'm like, dude, how can you teach me to drive traffic if your traffic sucks and I'm not knocking the guy's obviously just bought into this opportunity. And then I asked him like, I didn't really care to drive traffic and I'm like well then don't sell this product because you can't sell something that you don't have the interest to do. I mean like it just doesn't make sense. You can't do it. And this is the thing so just be interested in a product you know, even if it and like I said, we had a mutual product, we sold this product, and we didn't make money selling this product because we weren't interested in it. And it's a great product. We both have it we both love it. We both use it every single day. But do we are we interested in it? 09:43We promised ourselves once we hit X amount of sales, we would go on an amazing vacation with our families. Guess where we never went? On no vacation.10:00That's a failure in itself, right? Think about this, I, we talked about failure before, that's a failure, but we can laugh about it because we actually appreciate and understand where it comes from, you know. So funny. Okay. It's very true. Also, remind you guys, please subscribe to the channel if you like our videos. Number two is that what we have is the site where your weaknesses in the process? So, you know, where is your struggles, you know, if you start an online business, think of where is your weakness is it technology is a piece of product information, you know, whatever that weaknesses, what is your weakness? So, I've got a programme, which is called four pillars, which is our Facebook group and all of that stuff, which is teaching people how to be time management and teaching people funnels and marketing and traffic. So think of your weakness, you know, you might have a weakness in something completely different. You might have a weakness where you didn't even think it was a thing until you started an online business. What's your feeling on this Jase your weakness?10:57No, no, I agree. I mean, and, and for every one of these it's fair to look at it as you know, not only what are your weaknesses, but what are your strengths. And though I mean, if you're coming into an online business and you know, you know quite a bit about a product, that doesn't mean that you know how to market it, it doesn't mean that you know, how to keep a schedule about how to keep on to that marketing. And it doesn't mean that you know how to talk, it doesn't mean that you know, how to talk to somebody else about it to get them interested. That's something completely different. You might know a lot about salt. Do you know how to present to me all the facts about Himalayan pink salt to get me to buy an ounce of it? Or do you just know that it tastes good, and it's good for me? There's a lot that goes into not only knowing about the product but how to market the product, how to keep on on a daily basis with growing this business. And so it's important to know where are your weaknesses in the business cycle revolving around this product?12:04Mm-hmm, exactly. And I mean, I coach students and I've got quite a few students that they really suck with messaging people and getting themselves out there and having that persuasion. This is how Joy talks about you.12:19No, but the reality is, I was the same not as funny, right. But I was the same. You know, before I did, like, I'd had sales before. But before I had my sales thing, I didn't want to speak to people about anything like my product knowledge was off the charts. I knew so much about it, but it's like, ooh, how do I actually approach this person to talk about all my product knowledge, you know, and this is the thing there's so much there are so many different components in actually selling a product and people think I'm going to start an online game, one man, I'm going to make my first million dollars and when am I going to buy my island, but the reality is, it's not that simple. And yes for some people it is I mean, I know people that started and within like the first month, I'm making 100k. But if you look at it, the reality is that they know how to do it because they actually have no weaknesses as in how to sell it. They know how to have time management, they know how to be focused and know how to set goals, they know marketing they know how to market themselves. They know how to sell to people without them even maybe they didn't even know that they know how to sell to people. They have the right you know the system in place, maybe they've bought into a problem where they have the right system in place, like a funnel or, you know, really good website, they understand how to drive traffic. These are all very important things to actually helping you in this whole process that you know, to actually be successful in this game.13:39And at the same time, you might be coming from a brick and mortar business. And now you're getting into the online thing. You might have more knowledge than you know about how to sell or market a product, you might be missing just one piece. That's making everything go down the drain. Yep. And the connection between you and that one piece might be a coach to just point it out to you. So getting everything out about what you know, and what you don't know about that product is equally important about how do I make others feel the way I feel or want them to feel about this product.14:30Yeah, and that actually ties in with number three that Jason is saying it's like how do I actually get help with this weakness? And I used to identify the weakness Okay, so you've identified maybe your issues on a marketing right? Now you've identified that you know most of the things but how do you actually then do the next step? So identifying your weakness Jase what is the best way that you can actually then help yourself once you've identified the weakness you know, like, how do you  help you know, how do you get help on this?14:58So you might need some help getting to the point where you can identify that weakness. And we can go over how to figure that out. I mean, you and I are both people that we base our businesses on getting people, these types of information are not the amount of money that you will see out there people charging, and we'll get into that, but that's just who we are as people. And that's how we base our business. And so it is going to be crucial that you start to speak to people or get into groups that are either semi lightness, am I liking this or talking about the same things that this product is asking questions, reading, taking it all in, which goes back to have some kind of interest because the information that you're going to take in it's going to sink in and it's going to help you realise with some help where your missing piece if you will. 16:07Yeah, I completely agree. And I mean, you get things like paid, you know, like coaching things. And this is kind of like with the next one also comes, like educating yourself about the product. And you know, it's not necessarily time-efficient, you need a coach for that, but also just diving into that, like, for example, I am part of two paid Facebook groups. And it is fantastic. You know like, it's really good because it's kind of secluded, or exclusive, and exclusive to be in groups, right? But I've also been part of paid programmes where it was useless, you know, so, you really need to understand like, if I pay $50 a month to be part of this group, am I getting the value that they promise because you would you can get that or you can be part of a $40 coaching a month programme, which basically teaches you nothing, or you can be part of the thousand dollars or $5,000 a month programme, which also again teaches you nothing. And I mean like I said I'm part of, and I mean in total, these two Facebook groups a month cost like 70 bucks, which is nothing, and I learned so much from them every single day because the people actually pump you full of value, right? So I guess you need to understand and realise that when you educate yourself what is the value if you can't afford like a full-on one on one coach, which is expensive right because you pay for the hour or you pay per month whatever is it then worth it for you to go into a group coaching on the topic that you're not sure about, you know, and I personally found that both works like I mean, I've got a coach and I've got my group coaching and what my coach lack in, you know, the things that I'm needing I'm finding it you know, somewhere else, you know, because generally your coaches on a specific field, but if your business is different, I would say almost pillars to it then it's better to get education from somebody else, you know, it just makes sense that way.18:05Now I come from a little bit of a different position. So you're going to get a little bit, two different perspectives here. When I was life coaching in another area before I started doing what I'm doing now, the price would be an MIU none of this was online it was always one on one was thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands and thousands of dollars for three months. The information 100% worth it will change your life. So not everybody has that money, especially when you're starting out. So my new business model is to provide that information for people while we're rate because that's what I feel is right. And I know in the end I will be compensated  tenfold for the information I'm getting, so it's finding the right people to provide that information. That's is critical. There's a lot of shit out there.19:08Yeah, no, I completely agree with Jason and this is a thing like, I'm not knocking please make sure that you understand I'm not knocking a $10,000 a month programme. I'm not doing that at all, because there's a lot of value. I've seen a lot of value in programmes like this, but just be careful, you know, be careful of when you actually pay $5,000 is a $97 a month programme, you know, like, because there can be the same exact value, you know, and it depends on person to person to person coach to coach to coach programmes to a programme to programme it depends on what you're buying into. And again, it boils down to like, you know, the number one and the number two the weakness and the progress or sorry, not the progress that the product you know, the interest in the product.19:55So, right here right now, I mean, before we even move on you have two different, very different perspectives of what you want to know. As you're looking out, I was on a ridiculously high end, did very well. I recognise what is wrong with that. She is providing information that is, you would pay that money but decided that that wasn't the way for her to go with the information that she's giving, so you're getting the best of both worlds, right? I mean, you see, when we have our videos, it's no rocket ship, Jason and Joy coming at you for another five grand. I mean, it's just not necessary. The purpose of this is to give you honest, simple information from two very different we come from two very different worlds. But we met on the same plane, where most of you will find yourself when you start out and so  it's a very unique area that we both meet on and can provide information for you both, which is why we do what we do here. Exactly.21:09And the thing was exactly what Jason is saying is because the thing is with us, and this is what I appreciate about him being my business partner because we think the same, we have the same belief in things. And the number one thing that like really connects us on this level, is that we both believe that knowledge and like, I mean, what Jason is doing is like fixing your mind, right if you've got issues, but obviously there's more to it than that but that's the concept, but we want to charge as cheap as possible I mean, the reality is, we're all in it to make money. But our number one goal is to serve people first, before getting a big amount of money. That's the number one thing we want to see people succeed and have success and then the money is a byproduct of that. You know, and this is the same but realistically speaking we have to pay the bills, but we don't care to make a million dollars, yes, it will be nice eventually sure whatever, but it's not our goal. Our goal is to serve and help people and charge them $97 for something instead of five or $10,000 because we just don't believe in their business module. And that's what makes us I guess different, right?22:14Yeah, that's right. But when we both started out, essentially, it wasn't all like this and online and so now we have the ability to present a product to a large number of people without having to take up all of our time because things start getting really expensive and people start getting really greedy when their greatest asset starts to be used up. Now, what's our greatest asset as a human? We only have so much, that's when it starts to get expensive, but now, you find a way to deliver your product to the masses and you're coming from a good spot. Correct. This is where you're gonna see returns and it's going to make you feel good. So that's what we're doing here.23:06Yes, exactly that. And that is basically then you know number four but we just talked about this number four you know, it's like educating yourself about the product and being time efficient about it. You know if it means getting into group coaching, and you're going to save 10 hours a week trying to figure this stuff out on your own, do it. If you feel like if you have the money in your bank account to buy a one on one coach, that is the right coach for you then do it. You know it all works. But we have been saying just be careful you know, just be careful with what you do. And that brings us to number five, which is talking about fake gurus, guys, there are fake gurus out there and they charge you thousands of dollars for things that are just doesn't exist. You know, you point the finger back at you you're a funny bunny. Serious, serious topic.23:59But it is because I mean, I'll do yourself a favour guy and I just told Jason this before I started recording this episode go to YouTube and on YouTube search fake gurus exposed, there is so many of them. And it is a thing. And I mean, maybe some of the people that they expose isn't really fake gurus, I don't know. But what I have seen is that most of them are fakers because they charge people. Okay, so what is the difference between a faker and a real girl? I was just gonna say let's talk a bit about how you spot a fake guru.24:29Exactly. I love it. And the fake guru is really just charging you thousands and thousands of thousands of dollars. Like I'm talking anything between 1000 and $5,000 per month for something which is like sure you can pay that but the fake guru doesn't actually tell you that you're going to have results. And you know if you have results that kind of have this weird way of wording it that it's not really their fault that you're not getting results it's your own fault because you're not putting in the time and effort and all of that stuff. And that is a problem with the fake guru because they make you feel like you are the person that did this wrong and it's not a programme, but this is the thing you don't see the results. You don't see your money back. You don't actually make money. No, you want to listen to I don't mean to cut you off. No, I'm done. Okay,25:20So fake guru. So when you're listening to somebody and you're searching online, how do I who do I learn about such and such with or what have you?  A person that knows what they're doing will tell you exactly what you're going to receive where you are before the programme and what you're going to get afterwards. Now what I mean by that is like, for example, coaching, I'm a mindset coach, and so you can get caught up pretty heavily there's a bunch of people out there that are that have paid for a three-month life coaching course. And now line certified by life coaches of the universe, or whatever it is. Yeah. And I couldn't just make you smile. That's amazing. For 10 grand? No, no.26:18Where are you now? Where are you going to be once you've bought this course? Even if it's $100? Where am I going to be once I've done all the modules or the learning, right absorbed all the education, etc,26:36What are the results? What can I expect? If I don't get these results, is there any reimbursement? This is big. Because if it's a well, every person that you see and then you hear these are not typical results, well, that might be so, but what if my results aren't at least what you say I'm going to have at the end.Correct.27:04If you're not going to get your money back in some sort of way, shape or form, in any capacity, get out of there. Exactly. Get out of there. The other thing is you can talk to people who know about what's going on in the business. And you'll start to learn who these people are, as you talk, get into your niche group chats and things like this, you'll find people like Joy, and I have been around for a little bit.27:30You can come to and say, this is what I got, this is what they're offering, what do you think? And then we will be able to tell you because we've been around and we're around it every single day. Yes. Do you know what I mean? So you have to be very careful about what people are offering you $12,000 I'm gonna make you smile in four weeks. No,that's not worth it.27:53And it's, you know, it's a little bit harder for me with coaching as far as mindset Well, somebody like Joy, she's very, very specific on what you're going to get from when you start to where you end up. This is huge,right.28:13It's the same with you. Yeah, exactly. So when people start with me with coaching, it's like, well, you're gonna go from having zero cells to potentially having a cell. And I'm saying potentially because it depends on how they actually put it in. But I've had a hundred per cent success rate with people when they complete my coaching that they actually do have a cell. And I've actually got students where I should probably not say this out loud on a YouTube video, but I have given them an extra coaching session for free just because it was that one coaching session that might the difference between them not having a sale because they learn a bit slower, or they didn't quite understand the process, or it's nothing to do with them, but it's about the product that they're selling. And it's a little bit trickier to market it, you know, so, and I mean, that happens to me every other day with my coaching and I recognise that and if I can't help somebody in three sessions to do a sale, then I don't feel right about that. Because my goal is, again, as we talked about to serve people and see them having success. And I would rather spend an extra hour of my time helping them to get that sale because Jason, you know, once you've made your first sale online, that's all you need. And then you're like, ah, I can just repeat that process and just make more and more sales right. And that's the thing is like, once I have that satisfaction of giving them the first sale, that's it, like I would say, Bob, 's your uncle and Jason and like that, or like that, but that's the thing you know, in South Africa is that Bob's your uncle, and that's the thing and you know, you're on your way, because then you just repeat the process, but getting that sale is hard. Sorry. No, you're fine.29:50Also, something that is hugely important, at least with Joy and I in our respective businesses is that I'll only speak for me but I know because I know what Joy does and how she does it. I want to make sure that once we've spoken and you've gotten everything that you learned, you don't need to come back. There isn't a need for you to need me on a weekly basis for another thousand dollars, be careful of that. That's not the same as we will have a once a month check-in or audit for a specific cost or whatever. That's different from at the end of every session that we meet, or at the end of all the information that you get you to need me time and time and time again. That's garbage. For me, I'm going to give you everything that I have so that one you don't need me anymore and two you'll be on your way to help somebody else. Yeah. That is a business model that you're not going to see ever. But just be wary of that be cognizant of it because that is somebody that actually cares about how you're doing in business and your future and not about their own if that makes sense.31:16I agree with Jase, like a big part of it but also, it is good to have a coach, like, you know, I'm speaking with somebody that has a coach, it is good to have that somebody that you pay X amount of dollars for a month that you can just. I didn't say it wasn't wrong to have somebody to chat or something like that.31:36I agree. Yes. And that is what you said. But it's also just being mindful because it depends on the field that you're in to, you know, this is the thing, it depends on the field and also the person like, you might have somebody that's very needy and they need your help because that's just the way they're wired. You know, they want to have somebody on standby to ask questions for and that's okay, if that's them and they are willing to pay for that on standby thing, then that's fine. But you know, it is good if you can have if you can bind to a programme that gives you everything you need and you just maybe pay like I have a Facebook as I said, a paid Facebook group, I have the programme, but then you just pay to ask questions, really, you know, which is great because you don't have to go to YouTube to go and figure things out. Right. Again, it's saving the time thing. Yeah.32:23And that's the thing for me for you know, I do the mindset coaching, but I also have, I have clients that I do their website work for them, and help them with their wording on their websites to help bring in more clients. And if somebody pays me, you know, 300 a month or $250 a month to always make sure that their website and the language is always there so they can call me at any time and say, I need to present this to the public this is what I'm trying to get across. There might be very specific language there I'm a master in or I've I know about, and to pay two or 300 bucks a month to have me be able to make those changes for you to bring in sales. That's well worth it again. And if you're not sure if it's worth it or not, or prices, find people like Joy and I that is honest that will say to you, that's worth it. Or stay away from that. Do you know what I mean?33:33And it's about serving people. And I mean, we are just saying to us because we on this, but I mean, find anybody else. We're not saying come to us, right? But it's like, this is guaranteed if you find somebody that is there to serve the people and not serve their pockets, you'll be fine. I could not have said that any better.33:51Yeah, you know, and that's the difference between a guru and somebody that just genuinely wants to help you. You know.33:59You  know guru it's funny people call themselves guru where people say this one's a guru. Guru means going from dark to light. That's what guru means.34:12Yeah. If you're not talking to somebody who's trying to bring you from a dark place, and I don't mean like you have to be dark, but a place of less to a place of more to a place of fear to a place of love. If that's not their primary focus, that is not a guru.34:32Exactly, exactly. That's a thing. Well, I think that covers all of them. So I'm just going to quickly recap the five. So number one is to make sure that you're interested in a product or a service or something that you're going to sell. You know, if you're passionate about a great profession as a strong word, you're not always passionate about something, but it is an interest. Okay? Number two is deciding where your weaknesses, okay? If it's going to be marketing or product knowledge or you know, whatever your weaknesses and then number three is how do I get help for that weakness? Do I get a coach? Do I go to the Facebook group, whatever that is four is educating yourself on the product, but also do it in a time-efficient way, you know? And then number five is basically a guru. What is a guru? And, you know, do I bind to a guru programme or, you know, who do I really listen to? That's really what number five is, you know, who is the person that's going to help me on this journey?35:23Also, and I just want to say, maybe you don't know what it means to you know, maybe you've watched this and please, if you've watched this and you're interested, watch our last episode because a lot of this stuff here, it all intertwines. It's, it's all connected. And so maybe you're thinking to yourself, well, what does it mean to have a coach? What does that look like, in my daily life or weekly life or monthly life? Like, what is this person to me? And how does this fit in my life? Especially if I have kids or I'm doing different things like how does this incorporate into my daily being actually reach out to us.36:00We will tell you exactly what that looks like. A lot of it can be based around you and what you do, and how your schedule is. But it also is based upon what our schedule is. I mean, this is we meet in the middle here, you know, I mean, this is not so, so ask us questions about what that looks like.36:20And we've got Facebook groups, you know, so if our personal time is not in there, we've got a Facebook group and I mean, we each have our own Facebook groups and just, you know, join the Facebook group pop questions in there and you will get answers and at least you'll get a straight honest answer. Every time36:34And not some dodgy weird like, oh, we're gonna sell you this or wait I can't answer you but buy my $500 $1,000 programme, and then I'll answer your question as much as you don't need to do that. So true. Yeah. Awesome. Thank you, Jason. That was like, I think a quite an informative episode I would say.36:54No, thank you, Joy. And I  know, what I love about these episodes that we do is that and I said it in our previous episode is, you know, Joy and I come into these recordings with an idea of what we're going to talk about. But largely what you hear, and I'm sure you can tell, it comes straight from who we are as people, and who we are as people directly reflects on who we are as business people. And I'm sure you can see that. So that's very important to us.37:22Yeah, we are always there to help and if you have any questions, and you know, as I said, we always there to, to lend a helping hand. And we both me and Jason are both working on coaching programmes, it's going to be so dirt cheap. So we're going to bring something out in the next I would say two or three months or so. And it's going to be dirt cheap, you know, it's not going to be your next thousand or $5,000 programme. And it's because we want to do this purely because we want to help you and we want to see you succeed. So watch the space on that but we will obviously announce it when it's close to being finished. But um, yes, this is going to be all about the mindset stuff. I'm going to help you set up a business and eventually I am sure Jasin and I will meet in the middle somewhere. Now on that, yeah, we will. All right. This is awesome please subscribe don't forget to subscribe and we appreciate you.38:13Yeah, everybody is safe. Great to see you guys, please check out our previous episodes they've all been well received so far. We'd love to see you there. Reach out to us at any time for any questions, comments, concerns, gripes, whatever you got. We're ready.38:26Awesome. Thanks so much. Thanks, Jase. Bye, everyone. Peace

Careers can span over 40 years of our lives so it is important to consider it in terms of our wider life satisfaction. In this episode, DCU Careers Advisor, Elaine Daly joins presenter Siobhán Murphy to examine this big topic. Critically, Siobhán and Elaine discuss that we do not need to plan out 40 years of working life, but by chunking it down into 10-15 year blocks can be a more manageable approach. Career management approaches are explored to explain how you can manage career planning on a rolling basis.  0:06 - 1.27  Introduction to Career PlanningSiobhán outlines Career Planning and that it is a big topic. She introduces Elaine Daly, Careers Advisor in DCU and explains that the focus for today's episode is to examine the topic broadly and encourage listeners to consider working on their career plan one step at time.1.27 - 4:52How do you go about Career PlanningElaine explains the core steps in Career Planning - self awareness and understanding you values, knowing your options, making decisions, taking action and making time for reflection. Siobhán highlights that while it is too difficult to plan for your entire career, you can chunk it down and use this stepped approach again again throughout your career.4:52 - 7:30Going Deeper on knowing yourselfTaking time to understand your values, interests and hobbies is vital, as well as understanding your personality and what is important to you in your wider life. Important to consider what is a good fit for you. What are your skills and what are your strengths. Looking at opportunities that are compatible with these characteristics leading to greater levels of job satisfaction.7:30 - 10:30The role of motivation in Career PlanningSiobhán and Elaine discuss money and the role of money as a motivating factor. The discussion highlights the importance of it but that for most people there are other important factors such as their own values, meaningful work, a sense of purpose and work life balance should also be considered.  Do you want to work indoors, outdoors, office or not, remote working and so on.10:30 - 12:37Why we include hobbies and interests in Career PlanningHobbies and interests are important aspects of life satisfaction. Siobhán and Elaine discuss how our careers can facilitate our hobbies and interests - or not, as the case might be. The importance of not looking for perfection but a reasonable compromise between what we want to do within our work and outside of our work.12:37 - 23:14What are Strengths?Elaine explains how strengths are those activities that we are good at, energised by doing and critically, not draining.

In this episode, DCU Careers Advisor, Elaine Daly joins presenter Siobhán Murphy to examine this big topic.

Second week in our new series on the Wisdom Literature of the Bible. We started with psalms - the ancient poetry that meets us in our modern lives to show us how to feel the full depth of our grief and anger and continue to praise God. This week, we dig into Proverbs - the big book of little sayings. Some are inspiring: "As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another" - Proverbs 27:17Some are words of advice: "A gentle answer turns away wrath, but a harsh word stirs up anger" - Proverbs 15:1And others are just... true, I guess: "If a man loudly blesses his neighbor early in the morning, it will be taken as a curse.” – Proverbs 27:14What does Wisdom does the book of proverbs have to offer us? Should proverbs be reserved for cross-stitched pillows? Or is there a powerful theme beyond these aphorisms? Join us as we meet God and Truth in the book of Proverbs.

It's an incredible free PDF download that you can get from their site: https://mojoglobal.com/ Summary: Cory Sanchez has cracked the code on business marketing on B2B LinkedIn prospecting. He's been featured in Forbes and considered as top 1% of Influencers in the entire world by LinkedIn Corporation. He has tried or helped over 100,000 entrepreneurs on how to create predictable leads, clients and revenue. Cory is a winner of the prestigious "Marketer of the Year" through the Phoenix Business Journal, he has partnered with best-selling authors, and have customers over 30 countries. He can show you how to tap into LinkedIn 26.2 billion gold mine to help you find prospects and close deals. He has help customers generate over 1 million appointments and also 100 million in revenue from LinkedIn. What could take your company 3-5 years to create, Cory can collapse that time and can get you there under 12 months. Here are the highlights of this episode: 2:18 Cory’s ideal Client: My ideal customer is in B2B; they market to businesses. That typically includes consultants, business coaches, recruiters, insurance investment advisors, and experts. People that are the perceive authority in their industry. 2:46Problem Cory helps solve: The common problem is the revenue; it always comes down to clients. And beyond just getting clients, it's about getting the "right kind" of clients. Because you can certainly get the wrong kind of clients; clients that don't take action, hard to work with, you don't really enjoy working with. They don't have the mindset of abundance, more of having scarcity mindset, so we've all been there. So, we thought of a different way we like working with, that are agreeable, that actually has budget to spend, and I think that's the big part of it. We focus on getting clients we enjoy working with. 4:27Typical symptoms that clients do before reaching out to Cory: If you're sitting there and your calendar is empty, you wake up Monday morning and you look up what you have going on during the week, two things you teach is actually how to make more money and how to save more money. Out there those business owners, as sales professionals, we go out there and look at on how we bring in clients, how to bring in revenue, how to bring in income. That way we can do the things we want to do, and how you can accomplish that? It comes down to getting clients. Money comes from people, that's what closing deals is all about. How do you know you have a problem? Is that you're sitting there, you're worried about your income, you're worried about your take-home pay, you're worried about your client deals, you're sitting having no idea what to do next. 7:14What are some of the common mistakes that folks make before finding Cory and his solution: The biggest mistake that I see that people make is that, you're out there pushing. It comes down to two things, number one is Action. Most people are not doing anything. I love word-of-mouth, word-of-mouth is amazing. Word-of-mouth customers are incredible when you get them, they're easy to closed. They just feel so good but most people don't have that consistently. If you don't have enough clients, you know you won't have enough word-of-mouth. Secondly, you try to do things that alot of people tells you to do and it's not working. You are out there trying to message out, trying to cold calls, cold emails, and try to do all of these things to reach out to people. But when if you do the right things correctly, people should actually be reaching out to you because of your marketing efforts.

Trinity CathedralEpiscopal Diocese of ArizonaPhoenix, AZThe CollectConfirm our minds, O Lord, in the mysteries of the true faith, set forth with power by your servant John of Damascus; that we, with him, confessing Jesus to be true God and true Man, and singing the praises of the risen Lord, may, by the power of the resurrection, attain to eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.Old TestamentEcclesiastes 3:9–14What gain have the workers from their toil? I have seen the business that God has given to everyone to be busy with. He has made everything suitable for its time; moreover, he has put a sense of past and future into their minds, yet they cannot find out what God has done from the beginning to the end. I know that there is nothing better for them than to be happy and enjoy themselves as long as they live; moreover, it is God’s gift that all should eat and drink and take pleasure in all their toil. I know that whatever God does endures for ever; nothing can be added to it, nor anything taken from it; God has done this, so that all should stand in awe before him. The ResponsePsalm 29Afferte Domino1 Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, * ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.2 Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name; * worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.3 The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; * the Lord is upon the mighty waters.4 The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; * the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.5 The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; * the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon; 6 He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, * and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.7 The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; * the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.8 The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe * and strips the forests bare.9 And in the temple of the Lord * all are crying, "Glory!"10 The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; * the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.11 The Lord shall give strength to his people; * the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.The Epistle1 Corinthians 15:12–20If Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say there is no resurrection of the dead? If there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ has not been raised; and if Christ has not been raised, then our proclamation has been in vain and your faith has been in vain. We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified of God that he raised Christ-- whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been raised. If Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile and you are still in your sins. Then those also who have died in Christ have perished. If for this life only we have hoped in Christ, we are of all people most to be pitied.But in fact Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who have died.The GospelJohn 5:24–27Jesus said, “Very truly, I tell you, anyone who hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life, and does not come under judgment, but has passed from death to life. “Very truly, I tell you, the hour is coming, and is now here, when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God, and those who hear will live. For just as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself; and he has given him authority to execute judgment, because he is the Son of

Sunitha Rao remembers a childhood of scarcity. Born to immigrant parents, some of her first memories are of her home being broken into, and her things being stolen. The only money lessons she was taught as a child were frugality and saving, because you never knew what was going to happen.Her father had grand tennis plans for her, and pushed her into tennis. By age 9, she was playing tennis six hours a day. School was so low on the priority list she dropped out in 6th grade to pursue tennis full time.She turned pro at age 14, but all the money she made went back into her career: coaches, travel to events, more training.When Sunitha retired from tennis, she had nothing left. She estimates she “maybe had $1000 in the bank.” Her relationship with her father was so abusive, she sought a restraining order against him and started over, rebuilding her life at age 23.Starting off at community college, looked up endowment programs in Boston because she liked the city, and reached out to colleges that offered scholarships. Finishing college she got a corporate job, which was her goal - until she started working there. She realized her corporation didn’t have any loyalty toward her, so she started looking for ways to generate income outside of her salary and discovered real estate.She now owns multiple units in the midwest, and is on the path to financial independence, starting with nothing but a 6th grade education at age 23. If you’re thinking you started too late, Sunitha’s story shows that financial independence is possible - at any age.In This Episode We Cover:Sunitha's journey with moneyOn having a scarcity mindset around moneyHow she turned into a professional tennis player at age 14What happened to her money being a professional tennis playerWanted to succeed in the corporate worldHer journey at a community collegeHow she found endowment programsPros and cons about going to college at different age bracketHer highs and lows point being a professional tennis playerWhat realization that sparks her journey to financial independenceHad their house governed by domestic abuseBelieved on being diversifiedStarted real estate business at IndianapolisWhat her goals going forwardOn domestic and financial abuseHow did she leave from a domestically violent relationshipAnd SO much more!Links:BiggerPockets ForumsThe Domestic Violence Hotline - 1-800-799-SAFEGRIFFIX Property Group

Introduction: Grace Abounds. Grace abounds in Early Death. Grace abounds in Eternal Life. Grace abounds in Everyday Righteousness. Sermon Notes (PDF): BLANKHint: Highlight blanks above for answers! Small Group DiscussionRead Romans 5:20-6:14What is “cheap grace?”Why is it so difficult to die an early death, i.e., to die to self? How often do you “consider [yourself] dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus?” Romans 6:11; and see John 12:25, Luke 9:23-24.a. How do the illustrations of a seed “dying” help us to understand the benefits of dying to self now? See John 12:24-25, 1 Corinthians 15:36-37b. How does Galatians 5:22-24 relate to these verses?Baptism is a picture of death and resurrection, but Paul indicates in Romans 6:3-6 that if our baptism is “into Christ Jesus,” it is evidence that we were in Christ at the time of His death and resurrection. Does this fact cause you to see deeper meaning or purpose in your baptism?How soon after you professed faith in Jesus were your baptized? If you delayed, why did you do so? If you haven’t yet been baptized, why not?Paul emphasizes we were “united with Christ” in His death and resurrection. How should union with Christ transform how we live – for example, Who, what, and how we worship, how we love God, neighbor, and enemy, how we forgive others, etc.? How does Galatians 2:20 add to our understanding of the transformation wrought in us by union with Christ?A concrete anchor was used to illustrate the security we enjoy as a result of being united with Christ. How should the knowledge of the strength of that union transform our thinking about God’s love for us, about anxiety/worry, about the permanence of our salvation, and about our ability to live righteously? See Psalm 18:1-3, 31-32 and Psalm 62:1-8.Because we are secure “in Christ” we are able to walk “in newness of life.” What does that look like on a daily basis?BREAKOUTDoes the knowledge that you are united with Christ change your perspective on temptation and sin? In what ways? See Romans 6:2-3, 7, 12-14.For further study, read Colossians 3:1-17

Erica kicks off the episode with Jason and Sri talking about how the programs have come about and changed overtime here at TGS, how they select and recruit for the program, and the scope of the projects that the internships tackle this summer. Erica then spends time with both teams of interns discussing the experience in the program, what they’ve learned, and everything they’ll be taking away and applying back to their studies and upcoming careers. TABLE OF CONTENTS00:00 - Intro00:50 - Team Leader Segment with Jason and Sri01:09 - The Geoscience Internship Program04:42 - The Data & Analytics Internship Program07:29 - Advice for Program Applicants11:54 - Data & Analytics Intern Team Introductions13:32 - The D&A Summer Projects15:18 - Lessons Learned Pt. 117:20 - The TGS Internship Experience Pt. 120:24 - Future Careers21:41 - Advice for Future Interns & Reasons to Apply Pt. 124:34 - Valuable Take Aways Pt. 126:01 - Geoscience Intern Team Introductions28:36 - The Geoscience Summer Projects31:33 - Lessons Learned Pt. 233:14 - The TGS Internship Experience Pt. 234:12 - Advice for Future Interns & Reasons to Apply Pt. 239:28 - Valuable Take Aways Pt. 2EXPLORE MORE FROM THE EPISODEARLASSALT NET TGS DATA LIBRARYEPISODE TRANSCRIPTErica Conedera:00:12Hello and welcome to Beneath the Subsurface a podcast that explores the intersection of geoscience and technology. From the Software Development Department here at TGS, I'm your host, Erica Conedera. This time around, we'll be chatting with our newest batch of intrepid students in TGS' dynamic and immersive internship program. As you will hear, they are a diverse group of future innovators from around the world. They bring with them a wide range of skills and interests and work together to collaborate on exciting real world projects. We'll start our conversation today with a quick introduction from the leaders of our internship program. I'm here with Sri Kainkarayam, the data science lead and Jason Kegel with the geoscience team who heads up the geoscience intern program. And we're going to talk a little bit about the internship programs. Jason, how has this program changed in the last five years?Jason Kegel:01:09When we first started the program, I want to say 2013, 2014, it was out of the Calgary office in Canada. The interns there were mainly from some of our Calgary schools nearby. And then it started to grow 2014, 2015 to include some of our Texas schools, UT, Baylor, University of Houston. As it's grown, we've decided to add more projects and more sort of interesting work to the projects. We've also been able to bring on some of our original interns into roles within the company. So over the last five years, I'd say the biggest thing that's grown is the, the number of interns. So in Calgary, when this first started we had one intern and then that same intern came back a second year and we brought another one on. And then we got one in Houston. And then as that grew, we had a couple in Houston and a couple in Calgary.Jason: 02:09And then the past couple of years we've had four each year. So we had four last year and four this year. So we've really been able to sort of guide new projects around that to where we can really include their schoolwork and what they're doing in their university work with what we're doing here at TGS and hopefully build a sort of cohesive project for them to work on. And that's sort of the struggle with a lot of internship projects that we've done over the past years is to incorporate what they want to do as students and as interns and as their career grows, with what we'd like to see them do and encourage them to do within TGS.Erica:02:49Does that go into the consideration of which interns you end up picking, what their specialties are or what they're looking to do with what you need?Jason:02:58No, not necessarily, a lot of the times the interns, so for example, last year we were working very closely with a couple of schools that we wanted to bring data into. So some of our production data our Longbow group into with the University of Lafayette. So we were working really closely with a few professors out of that school and a few professors with UH. So we had recommendations from the professors themselves with students that they thought might work nicely with us with - in terms of their knowledge of data already and their knowledge of well log use and seismic, so they can kind of jump in running without having to learn too much in the beginning, without too much of a learning curve. So in aspects of that, and that's, that's more that we look for. So the, the professors we're working with, along with how long it will take them to, to get up and running with things.Jason:03:51Our current group of students is sort of a more advanced set of students who are working on their PhDs or in their later years of their master's degrees. So they've already seen a lot of these areas and worked with a lot of the data. So we do look for sort of more advanced students now, whereas when we first started the program, we were, we were happy to get anybody, some people that were not sure if they were going to be geoscientists, but you know, we're in the geoscience program with their bachelor's and that was okay too. I think we still got a lot out of having them here, working with us. but as we've grown, we've been putting them on more and more advanced projects and they've really been able to help out.Erica:04:29Cool, sounds like they've added a lot of value.Jason:04:30They definitely do. And it's nice to have sort of fresh faces around in the summertime and, and it really, really fills in for everybody that goes on vacation in the summer.Erica:04:39(Laughter) Right? Awesome.Jason:04:39The office doesn't seem so empty.Erica:04:42Awesome. So for the data analytics team, the internship program is new. I think this is your first batch of interns, correct Sri?Sri Kainkaryam:04:57Yes. So the data science team started sometime around November, 2017 so this is, although this has been our second summer, this is our first batch of interns that are projects, both, trying to test out novel algorithms, novel approaches, also try and apply ideas from high performance computing to building workflows, and also try and build sort of, user interfaces or ability to, deploy these for various users. So, there are broadly three buckets in which these projects fall into. And, it's an, it's, it was an interesting time looking for an intern because data science as, as a domain is, sits at the intersection of sort of three, broadly non intersecting sets, right? So geoscience, computing as well as machine learning or deep learning and folks having adequate background in all three of them, they sort of fit the -the mold of a good intern.Sri:06:02So it was in some sense was a little hard initially to try and find an intern. So I think we have a talented group of interns working on two of the broad offerings that we have right now. One of them is Salt Net, that is trying to interpret salt bodies from seismic images, and one is called ARLAS that is curve completion and aspects of petrophysics that can be done on, on wells that are available in an entire basin. So, it's, it's been four weeks into the internship program and the interns, the interns are pretty smart. They're motivated and it's been a fun experience so far.Erica:06:43Is it a 12 week program in total?Sri:06:46It's around a 12 week program. Some of them I think are here for a little longer than that. So, one of them is, trying to build a tensorflow port of our salt network flow because tensorflow community comes with a bunch of advantages such as, like, ability to deploy, it also comes with a JavaScript library called tensorflow JS that that makes it easy to do machine learning in the browser. So we want to make use of that infrastructure and the community built infrastructure. And that's one of the reasons why, one of the interns is spending time trying to build, trying to put our workflow in onto tensorflow.Erica:07:29So if you guys had some advice to give to people looking to get into the internship program, would you have anything you'd want to let them know?Sri:07:37So from the perspective of data science internships, given that how fast the field is moving, especially for students looking for data science internships in, in the space of oil and gas, the first and foremost thing is having an ability to understand various aspects, various various sources of data or aspects of data in the upstream domain. Because, just to give you an example, somebody who's worked on deep learning of natural images throughout, the moment you try and apply similar algorithms onto seismic images, it's a completely different domain. So, what are the, what are some of the assumptions that you can make? And that's where having a strong domain background really helps.Sri:08:30And I think the second thing that is, that's becoming very important in the marketplace right now is, is with, with platforms like GitHub or, you know, various open source projects. You can actually showcase your code. So pick a problem, learn a few, learn some approaches or try out some novel approaches, and put out the code out there. Put that on your resume because that adds a lot of weight, in your, in your ability to make a case for an internship rather than somebody who hasn't, who says, oh, I have, I have a strong programming background, but there's no way for somebody who's evaluating the person to see the code. So that these days has become a really strong advantage for, for a lot of students. So a couple of the students that are working with us this summer, they actually have active GitHub profiles where they've posted code, they've contributed code, various projects and so on. And as a consequence, like we looked at their profiles and backgrounds and like, oh, this is an obvious fit to our group and this person also has a background. A couple of them were like Ph.D students in geophysics, so it's an obvious fit for our team. So it was, it was all, it was a no-brainer for us to get them to come work with us this summer,Erica:09:53Jason?Jason:09:53On the geoscience side, it's, it's quite a bit different really. A lot of the students that are in university going for, for geoscience and wanting to go into the oil and gas industry have mainly just academic experience. So we really just want somebody that can sort of get up to speed quickly with sort of what an explorationist in an oil and gas company would do is look at essentially what we're bringing them in to do is what a sort of a mini, really quick exploration studies on basins where they don't have to go full on to drill a well, but they still need to have the ideas behind it where they can use the data, they have to evaluate an area and come up to speed quickly with, with getting those presentations out. So having really good presentation skills and having just a background enough to be able to learn on their own and pick up concepts quickly really helps. We see that a lot with, since we do get a lot of our interns through their advisors at different universities, that that really helps. But it also doesn't hinder it. We've also had lots of students that have applied, that have came from different universities where we don't know the advisors and it's just a matter of them going through the interview process and showcasing that they're, they're able to get to speed quickly. So, anybody can really go, go and do this type of work if they have the, the ability to learn.Erica:11:14Awesome.Sri:11:14I think that's an interesting point that Jason brought up. The ability to learn things fast and, sort of the ability to, appreciate various data sets and trying to understand and bring them together. I think that's a huge advantage for, for students. And based on my interaction with students in our group as well as Jason's group, I think TGS this summer has a fabulous group of interns.Erica:11:43Okay. Well thank you guys for talking to us about the internship program and we're very happy to talk to your respective groups and see what they have to say. Thank you.Sri:11:52Thank very much.Jason:11:53Thank you.Erica:11:56I'm sitting here with our first group of interns from the data and analytics group. To my left, we have Michael Turek from Florida State University. His major is computer science. He has a B.S. In computer science as an Undergrad. What are your career goals? What are you working towards?Michael Turek:12:15Yes. So part of me taking an internship here at TGS was to help figure that out. And so, well, you know, my interests rely mostly in machine learning and things like this. So something pretty, along those lines.Erica:12:31Awesome. Well we hope you, we'll help you figure that out. While you're here. Going around the table, we have Lingxiao Jia from the University of Wyoming. Your major is geophysics and you're working towards your PhD studying seismic imaging, migration and inversion. What kind of career are you working towards?Lingxiao Jia:12:50I plan to work as a Geoscientist in the oil and gas industry.Erica:12:56Awesome.Lingxiao:12:56Yeah, I like to do programming, so mostly on that.Erica:13:06Cool. All right. And then to my right, we had Deepthi Sen, from Texas A&M, majoring in petroleum engineering, working towards your PhD, studying reservoir engineering. What's your career goal, Ms. Deepthi?Deepthi Sen:13:21I'd like to, get a full time employment in the oil industry, preferably working on something related to machine learning in reservoir engineering. So yeah, that's why one of the reasons why I'm here too.Erica:13:33Awesome. Yeah. Oh, we're glad all of you are here. So can you guys describe for us, the projects you're working on? I'm not sure if you guys are all working on the same project or if you're working on different projects.Deepthi:13:45We are working on different projects. So right now I'm working on something which, involves clustering well logs, into good and bad, sections.Deepthi:13:57I use machine learning and a few algorithms that I use for my graduate research too.Erica:14:04Very cool. What's a bad section?Deepthi:14:07A bad section as in, there are certain depths at which, certain well logs behave erratically so we want, do not want to use that data, so we have to cluster it out. So, in order to do that manually for, you know, thousands of wells, it's impossible. So that's where machine learning comes into play.Erica:14:27Very cool. Very useful too. Lingxiao?Lingxiao:14:32I'll be working on using machine learning to do the recognition of geoscience features. For example, there could be faults, it could be picking horizons, could be recognizing salt domes, something like that.Erica:14:48Wow. Very complex and over my head. (Laughter) I'm sure it's very important though. And you, sir?Michael:14:57Yeah, so I'm working on translating the models that TGS' data analytics team uses to predict salt patches in the earth. So they use, they use models written in a module called Pi Torch and I'm converting that to tensorflow 2.0Erica:15:17Cool. Very cool. So what have you guys learned along the way so far? I know this is kind of the beginning for you, but-Michael:15:28Yeah, so it's, it's somewhat difficult to- so much, is kind of the answer to that question. But a lot of what I've learned boils down to more of the theory side of machine learning. Coming into the internship I didn't know a whole lot about the backend of machine learning, mostly just applying it. So learning how all these models work and why they work and things like that in terms of, the actual actually applying machine learning. That's what I've learned. I've also learned though, perhaps more importantly, working with a team and collaborating and things like that, which has been-Erica:16:10So hands on, real-world experience. What do you guys say to that? Ladies, I should say (Laughter) to my right.Deepthi:16:17So as I said, the research that I do is again, on machine learning. So I get to use similar algorithms to another, I would say facet of oil and gas. So I worked in reservoir engineering back in Grad school. Here I'm working on, petrophysics, so I kind of see how the same algorithms and same concepts can be applied in two different, areas, which is quite eye opening. Yeah. And apart from that I'm learning new algorithms and learning new math, which, I would think that's very important for, for my Grad school too, so, one good thing about TGS is that, they are quite, you know, they don't mind, publishing. So as a PhD student, that's very important to me. So that's one thing I look forward to too.Erica:17:08Yeah. Awesome.Lingxiao:17:10For me, it has helped me get a deeper understanding of how much, how machine learning works and how it could be applied to the field of Geo Sciences.Erica:17:20Cool. So talking about TGS more broadly, like as a culture, how would you say it's like working here, if someone were to ask you from school, what's it like working at TGS? What's that company like? What would you say?Deephti:17:36It's a very friendly atmosphere and, it is different from Grad School, in the sense that, I think Grad School, hours are more flexible than in an industry environment. But then, the focus is different and this is more, you know, I would think this more social than Grad school and, you know, being here, this is my first internship in the US, the environment is very friendly and you know, people look out for each other it's great.Erica:18:15Cool.Lingxiao:18:15Yeah. People here are so helpful and the, I have had a great time. I really enjoy this internship by far. Yeah.Erica:18:26Awesome.Michael:18:26It's wonderful. You're working in small teams and so you get to know everyone pretty well. It's very tight knit and those people are smart and very helpful kind people. It's, it's, it's wonderful.Erica:18:37Cool. Any surprises along the way? Anything you weren't expecting?Michael:18:44So, no, I wouldn't say there's anything that surprised me. I mean apart from the environment I had a much more perhaps rigid definition of, you know, you go to work and do your job and that's kind of that, but it's much more relaxed and that was, I guess, somewhat surprising.Erica:19:01Okay. I like that. Yeah. How bad the drive was maybe?Deepthi:19:06Yeah, I stay close by.Erica:19:09That's good. That's the way to do it. (Laughter) Yeah. What are you guys looking forward to for the remainder of your internships?Michael:19:17Yeah, so I'm looking forward since I'm rewriting these, these models and an interface for them, it'll be exciting to see them, how they perform and also to actually see the data and analytics team using them and hopefully finding them useful.Erica:19:31Yeah to see value for what you're working on. Absolutely.Deepthi:19:34So I'm about to finish the first part of my project, so I would like to wrap it up, you know, produce some good results and maybe get a publication out of it. And after that, yeah, I have a plan for what is to be done next, regarding the same, using the same similar approach but in a different setting. Yeah. So I'm looking forward to that.Erica:19:59Can you tell us what the different setting is or is that classified?Deepthi:20:03I'm not sure. (Laughter)Erica:20:05Right. We'll leave that one alone.Lingxiao:20:08So doing an internship here at TGS is an amazing adventure. I learn and discover new things everyday and I feel time passes very quickly, and everything is moving at a timely manner. So it's pretty good.Erica:20:24Nice. So I think we kind of touched upon how you guys are going to apply what you've learned here, at your careers as you go forward. Is there any particular job title that you guys think you're going to go towards?Deepthi:20:44Yeah. I probably will be going for a data scientist role, or I can say because of my background in reservoir engineering, I can go both on the data and science roles or the reservoir engineering roles. But yeah, from my experience here, I would, I think I would prefer to go to the data and data science roles because, there are like lots of opportunities out there and, the experience that I've gained here, I, I think it's going to be very helpful finding a full time position later on. Yeah.Lingxiao:21:18I could consider becoming a Geoscientist in the oil and gas or becoming a structural engineer because I have a programming background.Michael:21:32Yeah. I wouldn't say I have any career title I'm, I'm seeking out, but perhaps data scientist, but I'm not sure.Erica:21:41So what advice would you give to the interns who are going to be coming behind you?Michael:21:46Yeah. So probably to just build strong relationships with the team that you're in. Learn as much as you can, as deeply as you can.Deepthi:21:58Yeah. I would suggest that before coming in, you can go through, or if they have a set plan for you. In my case they did. So I had read up and you know, known what I'm going to work on so you can, you know, straight away start working on the project you have a rather than, you know, spend a lot of time, reading up those things that can happen before you start the internship. And yes, once you're here, it's, very important to like keep in touch, you know, meet the mentors every day or you know, update them so you have a clear path that you need to, yeah.Erica:22:44Lingxiao?Lingxiao:22:44I would suggest to go talk with people and you see what everyone is working on.Erica:22:51So learn, learn what other people are doing as well.Lingxiao:22:55Yeah.Erica:22:55That, yeah, that makes good sense. So why did you guys apply for the internships here?Michael:23:05So I applied, cause I was just looking for an internship and I had heard that, well I had heard that, (Laughter)Erica:23:14Honest.Michael:23:14(Laughter) I had heard good reviews from people who I respect and and I knew that they had a new data and analytics team doing machine learning, doing things with machine learning. That piqued my interest. And so I told them I was interested.Erica:23:28So kind of diverge off of that. So what programs are you guys using? Like actual hands on programs?Michael:23:36Yeah. So, programs for me are pretty, pretty simple. I use, a coding ID, visual Studio Code, and an Internet browser.Erica:23:43Whoa, okay.Michael:23:46I do that to do my work.Erica:23:47Google and a calculator, alright.Michael:23:49Yeah, pretty much.Erica:23:52Deepthi?Deepthi:23:52Uh, what was the question again?Erica:23:56What programs do you guys use?Deepthi:23:59Again, I guess we are in the process of making a program, so what I use is just Jupyter, it's very basic.Erica:23:59It's built on Python correct?Deepthi:23:59Yes, it is Python, I use Jupyter ID, and I'm in the process of making something useful from scratch.Erica:24:22So lastly, would you guys recommend a TGS internship to your fellow students?All:24:27Yes, definitely. Yes. Yes, yes. Yeah. Awesome. Yes.Erica:24:34Okay. So open question to the table. What are you going to take back to your program that you learned from your internship here? Starting with Michael to the left?Michael:24:42Yeah, so I'm learning a lot about machine learning and so in computer science that's obviously going to be a direct parallel. I can take that back. But I really think that what I'm learning most here that I'll take back is just how to collaborate with people, how to talk with people in a team and work in that way. I think that'll -Erica:25:05Life skills.Michael:25:11Yes.Erica:25:11Lingxiao?Lingxiao:25:11So, since machine learning in such a hot topic. Now, the work that I did here could be really extended into a project in my PhD research. So, yeah I'm currently working on that.Erica:25:28Awesome. Deepthi?Deepthi:25:29So right now we're working on a clustering of time series data. So my, one of the projects that I'm working, at my Grad school is also on time series data, and I think I might be able to, you know, use the insights that I gained from, from TGS, directly to my, research. So that's something that I'm looking forward to.Erica:25:52Awesome. Okay, well thank you guys for talking with us today and I guess we'll let you get back to work now.Michael:25:59Thank you for having us.Deepthi:26:00Thank you.Lingxiao:26:01Thank you.Erica:26:01And now our last group for this episode, the geoscience interns.Erica:26:08Going around the table clockwise, we have Sean Romito. You're from the University of Houston, majoring in geology. You are working towards your PhD and you are studying magnetic basement structure of the Caribbean plate, tectonostratigraphy of South Gabon and Camamu-Almada conjugate basins. I totally know what all of that means. What career are you working towards?Sean Romito:26:35Oh, hello. Thank you for having me. Definitely exploration Geoscientist, this is kind of where I've been propelling my career, ever since I started with a bachelor's and I've just kinda been stepping towards that goal.Erica:26:51Awesome. All right. Now we have Geoff Jackson from the University of Louisiana at Lafayette Majoring in petroleum geology. Your program is a master's degree and you graduated last spring. Congratulations!Geoff Jackson:27:07Thank you!Erica:27:07You studied a prospect lead off of a salt dome in southern Louisiana, and you cannot give us any more details than that.Geoff:27:14Unfortunately yes.Erica:27:14Very mysterious. So what, what are your career goals?Geoff:27:19Uh, similar to Sean's I was going to say, I can probably speak for the group here, but we're all just trying to be geologists and getting on with an operator, going to say probably best case scenario.Erica:27:28Awesome. Next we have Hualing Zhang, from the University of Houston, majoring in geology, working towards a PhD. And you're studying structural analysis and gravity modeling in the Permian Basin in West Texas. And you are originally from Urumqi, Northwest China and you got interested in geology about traveling around. That is so cool. So is your career goal the same?Hualing:27:53Yeah, basically similar, I'm working towards a career goal in the oil industry. Yeah. Since, like, my dad is also a geologist. Yeah. He works in PetroChina. So yeah, that's also my career goal.Erica:28:08Awesome. Yeah. Awesome. All right. And lastly, Cahill Kelleghan from Colorado School of Mines, majoring in geology. You're working towards a Masters of science and geology, and you're studying sedimentology and basin analysis / modeling with your thesis being in the Delaware Basin. So career goals?Cahill:28:28I'm pretty similar. I like to be in exploration geology and I really like sedimentology. So yeah, just applied geo science.Erica:28:36Awesome. Cool. So can you describe for us the projects that you guys are working on this summer? Same project or different project?Sean:28:46TGS has kind of tasked us with, I'm putting together some potential prospects or ideas of places we can look and most of that's going to be happening, well, we think it'd be North America and North American basins. And so we've kind of gotten access to some of their pretty amazing software, access to a lot of different databases and kind of putting that all together for a big picture of something useful that they can hopefully use from our projects. So I don't know if you guys want to add anything.Geoff:29:15Yeah, I mean, for one thing with these projects that's been very helpful to leverage the software that TGS has, specifically Longbow and access to their wealth of onshore well data that they have there. So we've been kind of bringing all of that together to generate these areas where we think that we should move further into as a company.Hualing:29:40Yeah. Also the first two weeks we're like working separately. We each have a study area and it's just a information gathering and doing researches and moving forward. Right now we are working in pairs. So, me and Geoff, we are working on similar location and to do like a research in a more detailed way. Yeah.Erica:30:05So you guys mentioned the software programs you're using. So aside from Longbow, what other programs do you use?Cahill:30:14Um, a lot, a lot of work in Kingdom. But Longbow yeah. Longbow and Kingdom. I'd say probably the big two. Yeah. yeah.Sean:30:25Any, I mean, any time you talk about geology, Arc Gis is going to come up. So we've definitely been using that a lot as well.Erica:30:32Okay. And is that different than what you were familiar with, from school or is this the same training that you had?Sean:30:39Well, Longbow is completely different. You know, even looking at production data is not something that I, you know, geoscientists when we ever, we go through academia, we even get exposed to. We use Kingdom. But I think it's, it's more of on a limited basis. I've, I've really been able to work a lot with, the, the well interpretation suites here at TGS that I hadn't worked with before.Erica:31:03Cool. How do you, do you find that challenging or kind of a natural extension of what you are already working with?Sean:31:11I mean, I, yeah, challenging, interesting, different. The team here, the geoscience team here has been very helpful, with the different, features. I'd say there are bugs. Some people might say they're features with the Kingdom software. (Laughter) but I'd say challenging. Yeah, but, but in a good way, not, not as a, you know, wringing out your hands kind of way.Erica:31:33So what else have you guys learned besides Longbow?Geoff:31:37I think for me is just kind of seeing just like what a day-in and day-out sort of process is like. So like having worked in the field, I never walked, I've never worked in a corporate environment before, but just kind of seeing how teams integrate and work together, it's going to say I've never seen that portion before. And so for me it's been fun, you know, going from classroom and then getting the actual hands on application of what we learned in the classroom. That's what's been fun for me so far.Erica:32:01Anyone else agree? Agree, disagree?Sean:32:03I agree. Yeah. No, I mean another thing that I feel a lot of us, especially me and with my Phd projects, they're very wide scale. I'm not talking about basins, I'm talking about plates. And so it's been very rewarding to kind of zoom in. Even if we are still basin scale, that's a lot smaller than I'm used to. So I'm able to kind of get lost in the details more than I would in a very large scale study.Hualing:32:28I think also a good thing is we learn from each other. Like where were you working together? Yeah, we're getting familiar with the software and if any of us found something and others will get around and see what we found. And I think that's very important for us to learn.Erica:32:48Yeah, absolutely.Cahill:32:50Yeah, I think kind of going off that as well and we obviously us for come from different backgrounds in Geo Science and what we've worked in and we kinda bring those backgrounds and each of our own projects and we kind of can come together and help each other out in different areas that we might not be more experienced with, like certain, well log interpretations or mapping things, stuff like that. So, so yeah, it's, it is helpful to have a team.Geoff:33:14Good overlap.Erica:33:14What's it like working at TGS, culture wise? The people, the food?Sean:33:22(Laughter) well they treat us well hereGeoff:33:24I was gonna say no complaints there. Yeah, I mean getting started in know there's always a learning curve, but I mean I guess as much of a learning curve as there could be, you know, everyone around here has been as helpful as possibly could be, you know, to help make that climb that much less steep, if that's a good way of wording it. But that's kind of what I would think.Cahill: 33:43The food is definitely good. Healthy. I like it.Sean:33:45Can't complain about free lunches.Cahill:33:47Yeah. But, but I mean I think the culture here is really, everyone's been extremely nice and even just within the geoscience team, a lot of nice guys; Cian and Alex, they've been so helpful with any questions we have, whether it be geology related or software related, and we've had company outings already. Going on Top Golf is super fun. Everyone's very open to meeting different branches and whatnot. So that was really fun.Erica:34:12Why did you apply? Did it, for TGS' internship program in particular?Sean:34:17Well. Yeah. So, our professor, me and Hualing, we have the same, advisor at the University of Houston. Dr. Paul Mann. And he was actually the one that reached out to us because, James, the head of the Geoscience Department here, had reached out to him looking for good candidates. and he had asked us if we wanted to, to join up. We, we kind of, you know, we researched it. We, I was, I talked to James on the phone and it just seemed like something, so different from what I was doing at the moment that I felt like it was a great opportunity to jump back. And it, I have absolutely no regrets.Erica:34:54Awesome.Geoff:34:54Yeah, my story is pretty much the same thing. My thesis advisor was, was good friends with James K and so he reached out to me and saying, pretty much the same deal as him. Looked into you guys, obviously cause say Jason, I met you before. So that, and also, the interns from last year, I was going to say I was good friends with them too. So I knew what they did. And so, here I am.Erica:35:17Any surprises along the way? Anything that you weren't expecting that you've encountered during your time here?Cahill:35:25I guess one thing is, it shouldn't be surprising, but I'd always is that I'm working with really big data sets. There's always lots of errors you have to put up with. And even with the amazing technology we have, there's always, there's always a human aspect to it, that's always interesting, that we've dealt with in our data at least so far.Hualing:35:44I think for me it's the flexible working time and my, yeah, he didn't request a specific time to be here or like a specific time to leave. So that's like really helpful for my schedule that I can make adjustment along and try to see by what time range works best for me. Yeah.Geoff:36:08Yeah, that's definitely been nice. I feel, like you said having to commute from Spring. I was going to say, getting to come in maybe later or earlier as need be. It's always definitely nice to dodge that traffic.Erica:36:22What are you guys looking forward to working on for the remainder of your internship here?Geoff:36:27Well, I'm really excited to see the end product of what we're doing, especially because, we're going to be presenting it to upper management, and presenting it to our, our geoscience team as well. I think that's really going to help bringing it all together. Cause right now we know we're all working on our separate areas as well. I mean, we're still two teams in a certain area, but it's still very much our own work. And so that, that finish line I think is going to be where it all comes together and I see more bigger, I see a bigger picture than maybe I'm seeing right now.Geoff:36:57Yeah. I think one aspect that I like about is, it's not just busy work. You know, we're actually adding value to the company with an end result. Kind of like what Sean said.Erica: 37:06No making coffee?All:37:08(Laughter) Danggit. For ourselves, we make coffee for ourselves.Erica:37:14Um, what advice would you give to other students wanting to intern here?Cahill:37:20Say like, don't be afraid to get into anything that you're not experienced with. Whether it's geology or software related. Since coming here, I feel like you can learn a lot from a lot of different people and there's a lot of different backgrounds here and people are all open to helping you or talking about their passion and their little branch of geology or geoscience. And so I would say don't be afraid to ask questions and go up to random people and say, hey, what do you do here? And what are you into? Because chances are they're happy or passionate about their job and you can probably learn something from it.Geoff:37:54Yeah. Maybe to add onto those, don't feel like you have to know everything beforehand coming in. Cause I mean you're not, no one's gonna know everything. Kind of like what Cahill said, there's plenty of resources around. You don't feel afraid to ask. No. Everyone out here is more than willing to give their time to help you out for what you might have a problem with. And we've had that reiterated to us time and time again. So, I mean, it's been nice to know.Sean:38:17Hmm. And, I don't know if before we talked about how we got the internship, and I feel personal connections are the biggest, you know, it's not about going on a website and clicking apply. It's about going to the conferences and meeting people from TGS and they're extremely friendly. We've all seen that firsthand. So I'd definitely recommend, and I, I would recommend it as well that you would get an internship with TGS, but just go up and see them during conferences, talk to them, ask them about opportunities, say, Hey, what are you guys doing? Be interested. and even if you don't get something out of it, that's fine. You're still gonna make connection, connections and learn about where the industry's heading.Hualing:38:53Yeah, I definitely agree with Sean, cause I met Alex on with, the person, our geoscience group, we met during the AAPG meeting at San Antonio and I talked to him and, he talked to me about his project and what I may be expecting for my interns. I think that definitely helped. And yeah, when I first day, when I came here, I saw him as, hey, yeah, that's, yeah. I feel like familiar and yeah, I'm more easy to get along. Yeah.Erica:39:28What have you gained during your time here at TGS that you're gonna take with you as you continue your studies and your career?Sean:39:36Everything we just talked about. Yeah, no, I mean that, that's a good sum up question. So the, the connections we've made with all the people here, not just in the Geo science team, every, every other team that there has that there is at this company. All the skills that we're learning with these different programs, the different perspectives we're getting because we're looking at, again, not just geological data, we're looking at, these problems more holistically. All that and above, I think is what we're going to take with us.Cahill:40:02Yeah. I think, you pretty much nailed it on the head. It's seeing the, the geoscience in an actual industry application in its own way. It's a lot of different moving parts coming together for an end product that's ultimately valuable and generates business. And then seeing how that works, you know, if on a fundamental level that's, that's pretty interesting and being able to be a part of, it's pretty cool. So.Erica:40:27Well, awesome. Well, thank you guys for being here. Thank you for talking with us today, and we'll let you get back to work.

Jesus was driving out a demon that was mute, and when the demon had gone out, the mute man spoke and the crowds were amazed.  Luke 11:14What hinders you from speaking the Word of God openly, honestly and clearly?  There are so many people who are in dire need of the Gospel.  There are so many people who are confused in life and find themselves walking down the wrong road, a road leading to greater confusion and destruction.  And we remain silent as they travel this road.  Why?The Gospel above speaks of a man who was mute as a result of a demon.  When this demon was driven out by Jesus, the mute man spoke and many were amazed.  Most likely this man was fully possessed by this demon and the oppression he experienced disabled his ability to even speak.  Upon his release from this demonic influence, he spoke freely.Though we may not experience demonic influence to the same degree, we are often hindered and oppressed by similar mute spirits.  The evil one often tries to influence us in such a way that we are fearful of proclaiming the Gospel freely, sincerely and immediately to those who are in most need of the message God wants communicated to them.  “Mute spirits” can often hinder us, confuse us or fill us with a certain fear when the opportunity arises to share our faith with another.  Though it may be rare to fall completely into their power, we are often left influenced and hindered by them nonetheless.Reflect, today, upon the reality of these vile spirits and their attempts to silence us, keeping us from speaking the message of truth that so many people need to hear.  We ought not fear their influence.  Jesus has complete power over all such spirits and will not hesitate to silence their influence over us if we let Him.  He wants to free us to speak His message of love without reserve so that others will come to know Him and His perfect love.  Let Him use you as one such instrument of truth and love.Lord, at times I am given over to fear when You call me to speak Your words of love to those in need.  I feel as though I am muted in my speech, confused about what to say.  Please free me, dear Lord, to be a holy instrument of Your Word and to confidently proclaim Your truth to those who are in much need.  Jesus, I trust in You.

“What Makes God Rejoice?”Matthew 18:10-142/17/19Core Practice: Giving Away My Faith - I give away my faith to fulfill God's purposes.Ephesians 6:19, 20 “Pray also for me, that whenever I open my mouth, words may be given me so that I will fearlessly make known the mystery of the gospel, ..for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it fearlessly, as I should.”"I give away my faith to fulfill God's purposes" means "I walk it" and "I talk it"–my faith that is. People who "walk it" but don't explain their way of life are seen as enigmas at best and fanatics at worst. People who "talk it" but don't live up to their words are seen as hypocrites. Neither is very flattering. I give away my faith to fulfill God's purposes means "I tell other people about Jesus" and "I live so that others might see Christ in me."Scripture: Matthew 18:10-14 "Take heed that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that in heaven their angels always see the face of My Father who is in heaven. For the Son of Man has come to save that which was lost. What do you think? If a man has a hundred sheep, and one of them goes astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine and go to the mountains to seek the one that is straying? And if he should find it, assuredly, I say to you, he rejoices more over that sheep than over the ninety-nine that did not go astray. Even so it is not the will of your Father who is in heaven that one of these little ones should perish.Ephesians 3:17-19 says, “that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, that you, being rooted and grounded in love, may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height-to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”The Message of this Passage: It is true. All our longing, restlessness and discontent is because of our search for the One who has found us. Our lostness is healed when we accept the fact that we can never wander from Him. He does know and care! At this very moment He is surrounding us with His love.In this passage, there is a wondrous truth. And that truth is that God is kinder than man. God loves the folk who never stray away; but in His heart there is a joy of joys when one is found and comes home; and it would be a thousand times easier to come back to God than to come home to the criticism and judgement of men.What does that mean for us today? It is possible to get lost in a church; to show up each week and still lose a vital relationship with God; to lose our first love; to become so involved in talking about God that we forget to talk with Him or listen to Him?The parable of the lost sheep emphasized the individualized, caring love of God.Answering Interpretive Questions: Read Matthew 18:10-14What command is given in verse 10? Why?Read Hebrews 1:14. How does that help you to understand the role of these angels in verse 10 of Matthew?Read Luke’s account of the Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15:1-7. Look closely at the words. How is the account in Matthew different?In verse 11, what did Jesus mean by using the word, “lost”?Read verses 12-14. What does this story demonstrate regarding the value Jesus places on individuals, especially children?What does this story demonstrate regarding our care over those in the Christian community?How about our care and love for sinners?Read 1 Timothy 2:4. What is the heart of Jesus regarding every person?ACTING on God’s WordRead Psalm 23 and mark down every truth you learn about Jesus’ love and care for you as your Shepherd.

Psalm 40:12 New Living Translation (NLT)12 For troubles surround me— too many to count!My sins pile up so high I can’t see my way out.They outnumber the hairs on my head. I have lost all courage. Add notesHe was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. John 8: 44bThese lies are part of a strategy to rob the world of the beautiful transformation you could be living out. These lies are what will keep you so busy managing a toxic soul that you don’t have the time or energy to gift the world with all you were created to be.16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. James 5:16 Add notesResearch tells us that we judge people in areas where we’re vulnerable to shame, 14 How much more, then, will the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself unblemished to God, cleanse our consciences from acts that lead to death, so that we may serve the living God! Hebrews 9:14What happens is the world misses out on you and your story. So much of our energy is used up managing our sickness we can’t be who we were created to be. 34 Jesus replied, “Very truly I tell you, everyone who sins is a slave to sin. 35 Now a slave has no permanent place in the family, but a son belongs to it forever. 36 So if the Son sets you free, you will be free indeed. John 8:34There is another resource here at ALIVE and they are a group of trained volunteers called Stephen Ministers. They are a group of highly trained volunteers who spend one on one time with people who need care. The relationship is confidential so this may be the first step to healing.

Hear the Dandy Warhol's new record early at a dive bar near you; get moved by BodyVox's big collaboration with A-list non-dancers; tune in to an opbmusic session with the Thermals; meet Oregon's new poet laureate and more. BodyVox Brings Its A-Team - 1:01The dance company BodyVox does not do normal, choosing instead to push boundaries of genre and form. So how are they pushing forward with their new performance, “The Pearl Dive Project”? How about asking eight top-tier artists to choreograph for them. Only thing: none of the artists are actually dancers. Instead, they're folks like Pink Martini singer China Forbes, Oregon Symphony music director Carlos Kalmar, and visual artist Malia Jensen.Elizabeth Woody Names New Oregon Poet Laureate - 9:40Governor Kate Brown has appointed Elizabeth Woody as Oregon’s next poet laureate. Her mandate: to represent the poetic powers, to encourage the reading and writing of poetry, and to be our mirror, reflecting on public life. Woody’s maternal family is part of the Confederated Tribe of the Warm Springs, but she was born on the Navajo Reservation — among her father’s folks — and identifies as Buddhist. Pioneer Mall Shows Its Galleries the Door - 14:45For the past several years, one of downtown Portland’s most unusual art hubs in has been on the top floor of the Pioneer Place Mall. Mark Woolley Gallery, People’s Art of Portland, Artist in Residence Gallery and One Der Gallery have lured the art walk crowds past J. Crews and Forever 21s and up escalators to take in fine art in a building where skill and quality is generally associated with Louis Vuitton. Now, mall management has informed the galleries they need to make way for a new commercial tenant by the end of April.opbmusic Session with The Thermals - 16:28The Thermals’ newest release, “We Disappear,” dives deep, exploring concepts of love, loss and technology’s role in both. Of course, the dark subject matter doesn’t mean Hutch Harris, Kathy Foster and Westin Glass have ditched their penchant for writing fun, catchy sing-a-longs, like “My Heart Went Cold.” What Can Portland Learn From San Francisco? 24:14What are we supposed to make of what’s happening in the Bay Area. Is it a cautionary tale of what could happen as Portland’s Oregon’s growth keeps surging? Or a preview of things that are definitely coming, no matter what we do? We sit down with Gil Kelley, San Francisco's citywide planning director who formerly directed Portland’s Bureau of Planning and Sustainability, to talk about his unique view on how the city's compare.Beverly Cleary Turns 100 - 36:58We are celebrating a huge 100th birthday for a true Oregon original: the one and only Beverly Cleary. Mrs. Cleary’s books, featuring Ramona, Beezus, Henry Huggins, and other kids, helped invent what we understand today as children’s literature, and remade the rules for how girls are represented in books. While she was at it, she brought a slice of Northeast Portland’s Klickitat Street to vivid life for people all over the world. We listen in on part of Cleary's conversation with Oregon Art Beat in preview of Art Beat's half-hour special, "Discovering Beverly Cleary."Chris Arellano - 44:20In Albany and Corvallis, people know Chris Arellano as a music teacher and guitarist. In New Mexico, he’s quickly becoming a star. Be the First to Hear the Dandy Warhol's Newest Record: At a Dive Bar Near You - 47:57There are two places the public can hear the Dandy Warhol's first album in four years, "Distortland," in advance of its Apr. 8 release: on the jukebox at Tony's Tavern on West Burnside and at Tony's Tavern on Northeast Sandy. The band held a listening party at the Burnside dive on Saturday because, according to bandleader Courtney Taylor-Taylor, it has the single best sound system in any Portland bar.Read the full story: http://www.opb.org/radio/article/beverly-cleary-on-turning-100-the-thermals-go-dark-what-portland-can-learn-from-san-francisco
