OCD treatment changed my life—but it took me a decade of chasing down wrong answers to be diagnosed. In the rush to create scalable treatments, disorders like depression and OCD are squeezed into diagnostic checklists—from which the complexity of the human mind invariably leaks out. The field of psychiatry is broken, and I spoke to someone on the inside about how AI can help fix it .Awais Aftab has been questioning psychiatry's rigid categories from inside the field. He's a clinical assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University, editor of Conversations in Critical Psychiatry—an Oxford University Press volume that tackles philosophical and critical perspectives in psychiatry—and author of the Substack newsletter Psychiatry at the Margins. We get into how AI is transforming psychiatry by embracing the complexity of human minds instead of flattening it.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

This was a fine Saturday crossword - tough but fair, as Saturday crosswords were meant to be. Our favorite clue had to be 29A, Some dragonflies, DARNERS (really: apparently people used to believe that dragonflies could sew your lips shut!). We were entranced with 38A, Mediterranean plant named for its brightly colored flowers, SUNROSE.

Welcome to our humility series. I want to share a beautiful piece from the sefer Amud Avoda/Pillar of Service to Hashem, written by Rav Baruch of Kosov, a great Hasidic Rabbi, in his essay on Anava . He brings up a question based on the Gemara in Nedarim in 38A which says, Hashem only rests His Shechina on someone who is strong, smart, wealthy, and humble. The Rambam, in his commentary Shemonah Perakim , explains that smart means obviously someone wise in knowledge, and strong doesn't mean he has muscles, it means he overcomes his Yetzer Hara. And he says wealthy means that he's happy with less. The Rambam is obviously coming to answer the question that's asked by the Alshich, which is, " I understand why I need wisdom and humility. But why do I need wealth and strength (for the Shechina to dwell on me) ? He quotes this question from Maram Alshech in Vayikra 21,9 and his answer is, If a person is very weak and very poor and doesn't have any great speaking skills, am I going to say that this person is humble?? What does he have to be proud of? Conversely, if somebody is powerful, influential, wealthy and can do whatever he wants, and still he doesn't respond when he's insulted, that person can be referred to as humble. You need to first have the ability to stand up for yourself. Therefore, he says, in truth, humility is enough to bring Hashem's Shechina down on a person. As we've seen in the past, Moshe Rabbenu had the highest level of Nevuah because he was humble. But if a person is not smart, powerful and wealthy, there's no way for that humility to be expressed. True humility is when the person that has all of those qualities and realizes that the qualities that he has, he received from Hashem. As we know in all Middot, we emulate Hashem. The Gemara in Megila 31A says that Rav Yochanan says, Wherever you find God's greatness, there, you find His humility . The Gemara says this is said in the Torah, repeated in the Navi, and tripled in the Ketuvim . For example, the pasuk says, God is all powerful and He takes care of the widow and the orphan. So we talk about His greatness, and with that always comes His humility. Why is that the package? He explains that it's because that's the point. Humility is only humility when we first see the greatness. And only because God is so great and so powerful, is His humility that much greater. The greatest thing it says about Hashem, says the Tomar Devorah, is Mi El Kamocha/who is a God like You? Which means, Who is like God that is so powerful and yet holds back from letting out His anger . God should stop the world based on what's going on. But God tolerates, and the Tomar Devorah quotes that God has referred to as the God that takes insult. So God is so humble because He's so great. With this, the Noda B'Yehuda, in his second volume of Or HaChaim (siman כ )says, that's why we read in the Shacharit of YomKippurim , the Haftara of Yeshaya 57:15 that talks about God as כֹ֨ה אָמַ֜ר רָ֣ם וְנִשָּׂ֗א so says the High and the Lofty. And then it says, What do I look at? I look at the humble person. He says we read this on Yom Kippur because we want to say how great and powerful God is. And yet we ask Hashem, Please have that trait of humility. Yes, You can destroy and wipe us out, but have mercy. Take a little bit more insult (as if to say) and give us another good year. The Amud Avoda quotes a song called HaAderet V'Emuna, which goes through different qualities of God. One of the lines says, Strength and humility is to the God Who is the life of all worlds . Why the strength and humility packaged together? And again, it's the same point. The Amud Avoda goes on to explain another beautiful point: We say about Moshe Rabbenu two interesting things: first in Devarim 34 10, וְלֹא־קָ֨ם נָבִ֥יא ע֛וֹד בְּיִשְׂרָאֵ֖ל כְּמֹשֶׁ֑ה There is no prophet that is like Moshe Rabbenu Then, in Bamidbar 12,3, it says וְהָאִ֥ישׁ מֹשֶׁ֖ה עָנָ֣ו מְאֹ֑ד מִכֹּל֙ הָֽאָדָ֔ם Moshe was the most humble of people He says the two hinge on each other. Because Moshe Rabbenu was such a great prophet, his humility was true humility because he has so much to be proud of. And it goes both ways. Not only was he a great prophet because he was humble, but he was also the ultimate humble person because he was the greatest of prophets. He says it's a constant cycle. Moshe Rabbenu, because he recognized how great Hashem was, further humbled himself. The greater that he realized God was, the more humble he became himself. The more a person understands God, the more humble he becomes. So it ends up that something very counterintuitive is going on here. The people that have so many qualities- he's a hacham/wise he's gibbor/strong he's an ashir / wealthy- Yet he could be an Anav . Why? Because he realizes at the end of the day, these are all gifts from God. Beautiful. On the other hand, a person could be a Baal Ga'ava without having any qualities. What a paradox- the person that has all the qualities is humble, and the person without any qualities can be arrogant! There's a beautiful story told of the Chatam Sofer. A young man once came to him for advice, " How do I deal with my arrogance? How do I deal with my Ga'ava?" The Chatam Sofer replied, " Good question, please sit in my my room for a few minutes and I'll think of an answer for you." So the young man sat there watching, as people came to the Chatam Sofer with their questions. The first fellow said, " Rabbi, I need help. My daughter is of age. She needs to get married. I don't have any money for the wedding. I need a hundred thousand dollars ." The Chatam Sofer said, " Go ask that young man over there at the other end of the room. " So the man asked, and the young man answered, " I don't have any money. How can I help you?" The next man walked in with a very difficult, intricate halachic question. The Chatam Sofer again told him to go ask that young man at the other end of the room. So the man started asking the question and the boy said, " This is way too complex. I can't answer that question. " A third man walked in, looking for advice on a certain business challenge from the Chatam Sofer, who was brilliant, and had help from above. Again he said, " Ask that young boy at the other end of the room." And again, the boy said, " I don't know anything about business." After they left, the Chatam Sofer called the boy over and said, " Young man, you don't have money. You couldn't help that fellow. You don't really know that much Gemara, because you couldn't answer the question. You don't have much business acumen because you couldn't help that man either. What are you arrogant about?" And the answer is, like we've quoted from the Steipler, Arrogance doesn't make any sense. Middot don't necessarily make sense. It's just built into the person-whoever you are and whatever you have, you can become a Baal Ga'ava. Rav Chaim Shmuelevitz once said he was watching a garbage truck go by with a driver, and a guy standing on the back- to put the trash in. He heard the driver say, " Ha! I'm not the guy in the back putting the garbage in. I'm driving the garbage truck! " The Rabbi said to himself, That's what you're arrogant about? You're the driver of the garbage truck! He says, that's all you need. Arrogance can grab onto anything. So you can be arrogant with nothing and you could be humble with having everything in the world. It's an interesting way of looking at it.

If the Jews cursed more bitterly than the Pagans this was, I think, at least in part because they took right and wrong more seriously.C.S. Lewis37 Pilate asked him, “So you are a king?” Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.

Micah 6:6-8Therefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:1-237 While Jesus[e] was speaking, a Pharisee asked him to dine with him, so he went in and reclined at table. 38 The Pharisee was astonished to see that he did not first wash before dinner.Luke 11:37-38A really strict Jew would do this not only before the meal, but also between each course through the meal. The rabbis were deadly serious about this, saying that bread eaten with unwashed hands was no better than excrement. A rabbi who once failed to do this was considered excommunicated.David Guzik39 And the Lord said to him, “Now you Pharisees cleanse the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside you are full of greed and wickedness. 40 You fools! Did not he who made the outside make the inside also? 41 But give as alms those things that are within, and behold, everything is clean for you.42 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Luke 11:37-4242 “But woe to you Pharisees! For you tithe mint and rue and every herb, and neglect justice and the love of God. These you ought to have done, without neglecting the others. Luke 11:37-42Legalism of this sort assumes that people will only know we follow God if we do all these things associated with rules and regulations. Instead, Jesus said that the real mark of a believer is the love they have for others in God's family.  It was as if a solider did great in marching drills and put all their emphasis there, but wasn't any good in battle. This would not be a good soldier. Being good at all the outward things of Christianity doesn't mean you are necessarily a good Christian.David Guzik6 “With what shall I come before the Lord,    and bow myself before God on high?Shall I come before him with burnt offerings,    with calves a year old?7 Will the Lord be pleased with[a] thousands of rams,    with ten thousands of rivers of oil?Shall I give my firstborn for my transgression,    the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?”8 He has told you, O man, what is good;    and what does the Lord require of youbut to do justice, and to love kindness,[b]    and to walk humbly with your God?Micah 6:6-836 “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?” 37 And he said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. 38 This is the great and first commandment. 39 And a second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. 40 On these two commandments depend all the Law and the Prophets.”Matthew 22:36-4034 A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. 35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”John 13:34-35DISCIPLESHIP IS MEASURED BY HOW I LOVE MY NEIGHBOR.The relational posture of a Christian is anchored in our union with Christ. God dwells in us, by the Spirit, nearer to us than our very breath-Anyone who lives from this depth of intimate relationship will long to be like-minded, unified, unselfish, humble, deferential, and self-sacrificial—anything but narcissistic.Chuck DeGroat35 By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”John 13:35The early church was strikingly different from the culture around it in this way – the pagan society was stingy with its money and promiscuous with its body. A pagan gave nobody their money and practically gave everybody their body. And the Christians came along and gave practically nobody their body and they gave practically everybody their money.Timothy Keller19 We love because he first loved us. 20 If anyone says, “I love God,” and hates his brother, he is a liar; for he who does not love his brother whom he has seen cannot[a] love God whom he has not seen. 21 And this commandment we have from him: whoever loves God must also love his brother.1 John 4:19-21If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all I have, and if I deliver up my body to be burned,[a] but have not love, I gain nothing.1 Corinthians 13:1-3Nothing so clearly discovers a spiritual man as his treatment of an erring brother.Augustine of Hippo27 And he answered, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength and with all your mind, and your neighbor as yourself.” 28 And he said to him, “You have answered correctly; do this, and you will live.”29 But he, desiring to justify himself, said to Jesus, “And who is my neighbor?” Luke 10:27-29WHAT IS LOVE?12 “This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. 13 Greater love has no one than this, that someone lay down his life for his friends. John 15:12-13WHO IS MY NEIGHBOR?

GospelMatthew 9:32-38A demoniac who could not speak was brought to Jesus, and when the demon was driven out the mute man spoke. The crowds were amazed and said, "Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel." But the Pharisees said, "He drives out demons by the prince of demons." Jesus went around to all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the Gospel of the Kingdom, and curing every disease and illness. At the sight of the crowds, his heart was moved with pity for them because they were troubled and abandoned, like sheep without a shepherd. Then he said to his disciples, "The harvest is abundant but the laborers are few; so ask the master of the harvest to send out laborers for his harvest.”ReflectionThere is dramatic contrast between the Pharisees and Jesus in this gospel Pharisees filled with condemnation, judgment. Jesus, on the other hand, filled with understanding and compassion and empathy. He looked at the people He knew that the kingdom was not being proclaimed by the temple, and they were troubled and abandoned like sheep without a shepherd. And Jesus wanted so much to be their shepherd. Closing Prayert is clear at the end of this gospel passage that we are called to do what Jesus did to be people filled with compassion and understanding and a longing to be used by God, to heal and to transform and to change. And we asked this in Jesus' name, Amen.

When COVID-19 rapidly emerged, the World Health Organization (WHO) was thrust into an unprecedented challenge. The global pandemic response was in disarray; health care resources were limited and inequitably distributed; and misinformation burgeoned. At the center of this maelstrom was Dr. Soumya Swaminathan, who served as the WHO's first Chief Scientist, from 2019 until 2022. Dr. Swaminathan not only spearheaded efforts to disseminate the latest scientific findings about the coronavirus and vaccine development, but also became one of the major public faces of the WHO. In this episode, we discuss Dr. Swaminathan's formative years becoming a pediatrician in India, specializing in treating children with tuberculosis and HIV, as well as the challenges she faced as a leader at the WHO in a time of eroding public trust.In this episode, you will hear about:Dr. Swaminathan's experiences training to become a doctor in India - 2:05How Dr. Swaminathan discovered the balance between her interests in clinical medicine and research - 6:00Dr. Swaminathan's reflections on the challenges of caring for children with tuberculosis and HIV - 9:38A discussion of global research funding disparity - 14:08How Dr. Swaminathan joined the WHO and eventually came to fill such a critical leadership role there - 19:04Dr. Swaminathan's recollections of the arrival of COVID-19 from her perspective as the WHO's first Chief Scientist - 21:28Lessons learned in health communication from the pandemic - 27:46The experience of being a lightning rod for online harassment and misinformation - 35:07Dr. Swaminathan's advice to new clinicians who are considering pursuing a career in global health - 39:25You can follow Dr. Swaminathan on Twitter @DoctorSoumya.Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

An exceptional Saturday crossword by Sid Sivakumar, who seems to be incapable of writing any other kind. The clues were fabulous (as we explore in depth in today's episode), and even the crossings were praiseworthy - most notably 38A, Rock forming mineral that makes up over half the earth's crust, FELDSPAR intersecting 17A, Meets expectations, in a way, MAKESPAR, while even 19A, Pumped, STOKED versus 4D, Preakness or Belmont, STAKES, had a nice alliterative feel. Today being Saturday, we also have selected our JAMCOTWA - Jean And Mike Crossword of The Week Award - and to find out which puzzle won, all you need to do is subscribe/download and listen up.Bonus Shownotes Feature!A few links for those who want to dig deeper:Are neopets still a thing? The Father of PlasticsHow accurate are iris scans?Contact Info:We love listener mail!

Teaching Notes“Teach us to number our days, that we may gain a heart of wisdom. Psalm 90:12Are you an intentional or accidental person?INTENTIONAL - deliberate pursuit.ACCIDENTAL - haphazard reaction.Jesus was always intentionalVery early in the morning, while it was still dark, Jesus got up, left the house and went off to a solitary place, where he prayed. Simon and his companions went to look for him, and when they found him, they exclaimed: “Everyone is looking for you!”Jesus replied, “Let us go somewhere else—to the nearby villages—so I can preach there also. That is why I have come.” Mark 1:35-38A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, “If you are willing, you can make me clean.”Jesus was indignant. He reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” Immediately the leprosy left him and he was cleansed. Jesus sent him away at once with a strong warning: “See that you don't tell this to anyone. But go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing,as a testimony to them.” Instead he went out and began to talk freely, spreading the news. As a result, Jesus could no longer enter a town openly but stayed outside in lonely places. Yet the people still came to him from everywhere. Mark 1:40-45While Jesus was having dinner at Levi's house, many tax collectors and sinners were eating with him and his disciples, for there were many who followed him. When the teachers of the law who were Pharisees saw him eating with the sinners and tax collectors, they asked his disciples: “Why does he eat with tax collectors and sinners?”On hearing this, Jesus said to them, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” Mark 2:15-17On the third day a wedding took place at Cana in Galilee. Jesus' mother was there, and Jesus and his disciples had also been invited to the wedding. When the wine was gone, Jesus' mother said to him, “They have no more wine.” “Woman, why do you involve me?” Jesus replied. “My hour has not yet come.” John 2:1-4Jesus heard that they had thrown him out, and when he found him, he said, “Do you believe in the Son of Man?”“Who is he, sir?” the man asked. “Tell me so that I may believe in him.”Jesus said, “You have now seen him; in fact, he is the one speaking with you.”Then the man said, “Lord, I believe,” and he worshiped him.

A crunchier than usual Wednesday crossword, not because of the presence of OREOs in the grid, but rather because today's constructor, Josh Kindler, is so adept at his craft. The clues ranged from sorta-kinda obvious, e.g., 53D, It's rigged!, SAIL, to somewhat more obscure, e.g., 45D, King of the Titans, in Greek mythology, KRONOS, to the we never saw that coming, e.g., 38A, Part of a botanical garden, FERNERY. [For the record, the most excellent Green Bay Botanical Center, our go-to for all things botanical, makes no mention of such a thing.]tldr; we liked the crossword, and to find out precisely why, you know what to do: subscribe / download / listen up.

An ingenious theme in today's crossword, an anti-rebus -- instead of multiple letters scrunched into one square, we have two letters expanding out of ... nothing, just like the Big Bang (although not quite as noisy). Today's crossword was by Jeff Chen, and that means quality. Clues like 38A, One of two in 2/22/22, SLASH, and the amazing (and debut word)  21A, Carnivorous : meat :: carpophagous : ________, FRUIT are just a few of the many Easter eggs that await the diligent spelunker of today's grid.

On today's episode we're talking all about Summer travel tips with kids. We forgot to check our kids' bags before we got to the airport and realized once we got to security that two of our kids had scissors in their bags, which weren't allowed on the flight. Our kids were also able to get copious amounts of sugar during the flight as they would often wait until we weren't looking/paying attention, and then ask the stewardess for soda or other sugary food items, which they would then receive because the flight attendants are very accomodating. What each child needs 0:41Pay attention when flying 2:28What to do with your toddler 4:38A tip about hot drinks 8:00Sunscreen 10:41Bring plenty of everything 14:18“I should've gotten the leash, the baby leash where they can run around, but you've got a hold of them on a leash. We did not have that for Ezra and I found it more stressful when we got to Salt Lake City and were just in the baggage area.” 4:59https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/ Pick up a copy of Journal to Joy.

Or am I going with Table Rush? Goodness gracious. I just had this amazing thought stream and it disappeared.Mischa Zvegintzov  00:27Oh, a person that is in the middle of a divorce was asking me for help. She's like, Hey, I'm trying to figure out what to do next. You know, I need to get a job blah blah blah. And and I was like well, I'm kind of... and she came to me from the via the what do you call it the the the summit. The Gools For A Good... excuse me... via the Tools For A Good Life Summit. And I was like, Well, I've kind of shifted directions to helping business people or whatever, blah, blah, blah. You know, this Table Rush thing. And fast forward to today past few days as I'm like, What am I doing? Who am I trying to help? Who is this frickin avatar? Like? Who? Who?Mischa Zvegintzov  01:35I'm walking in traffic recording. So dangerous.Mischa Zvegintzov  01:42What am I trying to say here? Thanks for listening per usual. I appreciate you. I do. I appreciate you being on this journey with me. And maybe it's just the "my future self" that's on this journey with me. It's a funny thing to think about, isn't it? Or my previous self from a month behind who's on the journey with me, I think you get what I'm saying? Or not, it might be too esoteric for you.Mischa Zvegintzov  02:14So this person was like, Hey I need some help, kind of finding a vison forward. And I'm like, Well, I think let me refer you to someone else. Because I've got nothing put together to help. And she wanted some coaching.  Literally was asking me to provide coaching. And I was like well, I got no coaching. But I guess it's kind of what I'm trying to do through this whole process is put together some courses to create some coaching and create some evergreen courses. Anyway there's a few other people that could use a little help with their direction moving forward and finding their "why". I see now that a lot of people are questioning getting their "why" that are in some psychic upheaval.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:22So awesome. Will these become episodes? And what will the name of my podcast and YouTube channel be? Assuming there's a YouTube channel when these episodes go live? It's very exciting.Mischa Zvegintzov  03:44Definitely distracted by the cars and the people walking big dogs. Okay, back to it. Stream of conscious.  "Hey" big dog.  That is a big dog. My gosh beautiful big dog.Mischa Zvegintzov  04:07Okay.  So the question is this. the question is this.  "How do I start from scratch and put on new summits new challenges to reach the fledgling entrepreneurs who are a year behind me?" Perhaps Yeah, a year behind me. Or do I reach out to the divorced dads, divorced moms or just divorced dads who are perhaps five years behind me? Some serious rambling.  Let's come back to center. Big breath in.  Long breath out.Mischa Zvegintzov  05:21So what I was gonna say after this five minute and thirty second intro was... The summit worked to pull together some people and bring a coaching client to me.  And I realized just a day or two ago like like really hit me.  "Like wait a minute. Like the summit kind of worked."  Not as in a bigger scale as I want but a couple of people literally reached out to me directly like someone I've never met and then a couple people that I do know indirectly.Mischa Zvegintzov  06:19And then also over the last couple of weeks some new leads have trickled to me through the summit. So people have registered for the summit and now they're in the queue.  so my the what I'm questioning is.  Is if I stuck with that plan... stuck with that idea... like I'm still... I'm not far enough away from it that I can't get back to it and not be distracted by the shiny object of Table Rush. I can put together a measurable questionnaire that I've already created I can clean it up it's super cool. That could be my software to. Wow. Holy mackerel kinda cools things could come from that. Just hits me as I'm talking about this.Mischa Zvegintzov  07:38A lot of activity this morning. Dogs barking. Thank goodness. Will this be an episode? Welcome to the entrepreneurial journey, people. Welcome to the entrepreneur...my... Mischa's recent entrepreneurial journey that sure does seem to be self serving. Holy mackerel, who knows?Mischa Zvegintzov  08:08Anyhow, it's like my daily diary that's just exposed for the world to see. How fun is that.  At some point, the five year for me now is just going to be so dialed in just these concise episodes that are... your three step process to this five step process to that.  Oh my gosh is ludicrous. Anyhow, I think you'd get what I'm saying.  Thank you for listening. I appreciate you. Thank you for being a part of my process.Mischa Zvegintzov  08:52So I'm standing in traffic. I'm going to try and get to the point to set you free from this episode. But I think perhaps a "find your why coarse" or a "find your why challenge" is definitely an order. And perhaps I don't need to rename everything. And I can let go of my fears around...  Ah who knows? Who knows more will be revealed PEACE OUT

Corrupting the Image Kingdom War Room | KWR-0015   There are events in human history that not only shape the near future but can well extend beyond the millennium in which they occur.  Some are so powerful that they can stretch their influence from the very ancient world to today.   Such events in found in Genesis 3, 6, and 10.  Jesus reminded His followers in the First Century that:   37 But as the days of Noah were, so also will the coming of the Son of Man be. 38 For as in the days before the flood, . . . Matt 24:37,38A   Unfortunately, what those that first heard these words understood has been lost in the common consciousness of humanity.  However, Christian researchers have been laboring to unearth these trues in our day.  One such researcher is Dr. Douglas Hamp.   Dr. Michael Lake, representing the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing and Biblical Life TV.  www.kingdomintelligencebriefing.com   Dr. Michael Spaulding, who is the teaching pastor of Calvary Chapel of Lima, OH, the author of Upsidedown in America, more than ten other books, and the host of Soaring Eagle Radio and Dr. Mike Live.  Mike's website is www.drmikespaulding.com   Dr. Douglas Hamp:  Douglas Hamp earned his M.A. in the Bible and its World from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and his PhD in Biblical Studies from Louisiana Baptist University.

One group looks for purpose of things happening, while the other looks for the reason things happen. Eric fanboys about Bill Watterson, and Vi agrees we should keep this distinction in mind when talking to theists. Link to the comic discussed: https://www.gocomics.com/calvinandhobbes/1988/04/01#:~:text=Transcript%3A,Hobbes%3A%20Because%20we%20walked%20here.&text=Hobbes%3A%20Because%20Earth%20can%20support%20life. 15:00Bree calls in with a joke call, making an anti-abortion argument from an atheistic perspective. The laughs, however, lead to some interesting conversation as the hosts contemplate where current abortion arguments fall short, and whether many skeptics have yet to fully deconstruct ideas around procreation and birth. Cue foreshadowing music…. 22:44 This caller is a theist who wants to argue with the hosts about whether or not terminating a pregnancy is moral or immoral. The hosts get creative with their analogies in an attempt to get their points across: Eric asks if unplugging a sentient computer would be immoral, and Vi makes a comparison between abortion laws and “stand your ground” laws in Texas and other states. Ultimately, the question is: what course of action is permissible to maintain bodily autonomy? And who gets to decide whether that course of action is moral or immoral? 40:33 Fred was part of a cult composed mostly of atheists, but managed to escape thanks to watching shows like Skeptic Generation, @Genetically Modified Skeptic, and @Telltale. They want to talk about how atheists can also fall for behavioral control methods used to perpetuate cults. The takeaway here: don't think you're too smart to get involved in a cult, and stay away from organizations with strict hierarchical structures. Stay safe out there! 51:00 Are atheists better or worse when it comes to inclusion and diversity? In some areas they are objectively progressing faster than many religious counterparts, but in other areas they're falling behind. Sam points to their experience in atheist circles as someone who is neurodivergent, nonbinary, and Pagan, among other intersectionalities. Vi and Eric weigh in.1:02:08 What “religious tools” should atheists be using to help them in their lives? Are there such things as “religious tools”? What is a non-theistic Satanist, and why does Candor call himself one? This conversation gets into tarot, ritual, and mindfulness as secular methods for coping and thriving in the world. You may have feelings about this one… 1:11:03 Karen is sick and tired of atheist pro-choice arguments, because they don't feel honest. She lays out her uncomfortable truth: we rate beings based on how valuable they are, and give out rights from there. Eric points out the difference between rights and protections, and Vi gets excited at the icky feeling the argument causes. Gotta love a chewy new moral dilemma! 1:20:30How is the media influencing our risk assessments about things like COVID, and could it be that those who have chosen not to get the vaccine are simply less risk-averse? Eric and Vi point out that while each individual has to choose for themselves, the responsibility of caring for those in your community and providing the at-risk with protection outweighs personal comfort. _____________Skeptic Generation is LIVE every Sunday at 11:30am-1:00pm CTCall on your phone: 585-LA-MURPH (585-526-8774) Call online: https://tiny.cc/callSG Love the show?

Today we're going to be talking about balancing your life when you've got kids and a business to worry about. We discuss what a lot of women may not understand when it comes to having children and going back to work and that some women just can't get themselves to go back right after having a child, while others are forced to go back because of financial reasons. Even still, there are some women that want to be in their job because it brings balance and happiness to their home. The common message we hear is that women need to go back to work and we want to be a voice and a resource to help you to counter this if that's your desire. We talk about what it means to be a mompreneur and doing what you love while also taking care of your family. Having the desire and belief to change your situation 2:38A big realization Rosie had 7:47Rosie's journey as a mum and work 14:10How to know you've made a sacrifice 18:25“A week ago I had read this thing where it said, ‘Wisdom can only come through great sorrow.' And sometimes we have to go through something really difficult to learn the wisdom. So if you think about it with your first child you're probably not going to be the wisest, but as you get your second and your third child, if that's reality, then the wisdom will come, or you look at things differently, maybe you plan things a little bit differently.” 6:38https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/https://www.theirishmummy.com

A delicious Sunday crossword, with LOL answers courtesy of Julia Child (as curated and transcribed by today's constructor, Jesse Goldberg). How could you not like such bon mots as 38A, "A party without cake is ________", REALLYJUSTAMEETING, or the rather brazen 65A, "If you're alone in the kitchen and you drop the lamb, you can always just pick it up. __________?", WHOSGOINGTOKNOW. Jean cruised through the crossword in 54 minutes, only getting hung up in the vicinity of 87A, ________ o'clock (when happy hour begins), BEER, whereas Mike seriously misinterpreted 15A, Even once, EVER, parsing it as "Even, once" and trying (unsuccessfully) to imagine the equivalent in days of yore: EVEA? EVEH? EVEL?? Those minor glitches not withstanding, both Jean & Mike agree that this was a fine Sunday effort, and definitely worth 5 squares on the JAM CR scale.

While today's crossword had a few of THEUSUALSUSPECTS - LAB, TASE and ARSON -- it also had some more ANOMALOUS entries -- movie titles that were (for the most part) questions, the answers to which were ... other movie titles. For instance, 38A, Who framed Roger Rabbit? [1995], turned out to be the aforementioned THEUSUALSUSPECTS. It must've taken TRUEGRIT to construct this crossword, hats off to the J.A.S.A. Crossword Class (and their teachers, Andy Kravis and Natan Last), who provided such a pleasing diversion.

Everybody’s asking about cool different spaces that we’ve designed such as past projects, so that’s what we want to talk about today. We’re doing a unique home for a Sikh family who have an aromatic kitchen, which is an area containing various potent spices that give off many different smells. The family entertains a lot, so they have the need for many large containers where they can store big amounts of food for guests and events. We did a home where the owner wanted to put a Hobbit home on the property and make it a part of their whole structure, so we created a long tunnel underground and made a unique layout, which turned out to be really fun for them. Closets are often unique spaces that people will want us to design based on their own lifestyles and we did one that felt like a treehouse, using paints and constructing it in such a way that it felt a lot bigger and open than it actually was. Designing a home for a Sikh family 1:28Aromatic kitchen 2:22Shoe storage 6:21Dallas Texas home 10:57Hobbit house 13:05The glam room 14:52Tatami room 17:32Closets 20:38A game room for an NBA player 25:03“People are changing the way that they work, and so she has a huge closet. The builder has told us that women in Dallas never wear the same thing twice, so if you can imagine, you need 365 outfits to house these closets. So they’re as big as kitchens today, and then on the opposite side of her closet is her office. And so she can walk right in there and take a Zoom call, look fabulous, you know? Or sit down there in the evening and she doesn’t have to run down a flight of stairs to sit in a more formal office, so we just combined all of that space right into one.” 16:50https://www.instagram.com/alicelaneinteriors/https://www.instagram.com/alicelanehome/https://alicelanehome.com/https://www.facebook.com/AliceLaneHomehttps://www.pinterest.com/alicelanehome/https://www.youtube.com/alicelanehomecollectionsaltlakecityNews Letter:https://manage.kmail-lists.com/subscriptions/subscribe?a=HZENWY&g=PFcqV5

A FUNFETTI of a Saturday crossword, albeit with a potential natick in the top-right corner for those who do not use compasses on a daily basis -- 26A, 270°, WEST, crossing 14D, On the ________, SCENT. Mike enjoyed 7D, Mathematical puzzle with movable disks, TOWEROFHANOI, and Jean appreciated 49D, "The perfume of heroic deeds", to Socrates, FAME.  Both savored 38A, Zoom participants?, DRAGRACERS. All-in-all, a fine offering by constructor Leslie Rogers (edited, as always, by Will Shortz), we give this crossword a 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

Both Jean and Mike ran into headwinds  in the top-right corner, specifically 22A, Agree(with), JIBE -- as opposed to their (independently derived at) answers, JIVE. That one errant letter crossed 13D, Seaport derived from the Arabic for "obstacle", AQABA -- quite apropos in this case! There were some delightful new(ish) clues -- 38A, Football tactic to prevent a long return, SQUIBKICK, and 52D, Matches at a table, SEES (or, as Mike continues to insist,  despite all the evidence to the contrary, SETS). 

A more difficult than usual Monday crossword, but filled with sparkling clues like 34A, Hairstyle popularized by Lucille Ball, POODLECUT,  40D, Nonsense, MALARKEY,  44A, Cheap neighborhood bar, LOCALDIVE, and 38A, For two, in music, ADUE. Today's episode covers all that and more, so download and be prepared to be uplifted!

Jean sailed through this crossword so quickly that her keyboard ignited, while the fate of Mike's keyboard was never in doubt nor peril. There was a goodly number of arcane (depending upon your age) clues, including 61A, Actress/YouTube star ______ Condor, LANA, 38A, Title character in a "Sgt. Pepper" song, MRKITE, 8D, George Sand title heroine, ISIDORA, and 63A, "East of Eden" twin, Aron, just to name a few. Both Jean and Mike were suckered in by 44D, Begrudge, independently answering RELENT, instead of the correct (and for both of them the last) answer, RESENT. A great crossword, all round, we give it a cheery 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

A RESPITE from some of the harder Friday crosswords we had lately, in both Jean and Mike's wheelhouses. Jean appreciated the XXX stack, 39D, Adult and then some, XXXRATED (crossed with 38A, Goes past, EXCEEDS, 41A, It may be added to the mix, CHEX (very nice!), and the slightly more obscure 45A, Beast vanquished by Oedipus, SPHINX. Mike appreciated not having to spell OCCAM's razor twice in two days, but was glad to see EDASNER (64A, Player of Warren Buffett in "Too Big to Fail"), who had graced the NYTimes crossword less than a week ago. We give this puzzle a perfect 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.

Uh, oh, it's an Erik Agard Friday puzzle - red alert! Dictionaries and thesauri up! Jean was highly impressed with the look of the grid (and you can see it, as usual, at xwordinfo.com). Mike was more impressed with the difficulty: he had to scan so far down the list of clues to find one that he could answer that he inadvertently rolled into Thursday! There were a few outre clues - 38A, Product from Bevel or Oui the People, RAZOR; 31D, Language in which you might be greeted "Hullo, hoo are ye?", SCOTS (not SCOTTISH); and 13A, Pop up a lot, perhaps?, NEWDAD. We give it a 4.5 squares on the JAMCR scale.For Fun-Fact-Friday, Jean explores the origins of riddle-me-ree, and Mike discusses the 5 pillars of Islam.

In this episode we discuss why it's important to to believe in yourself to set a good example for your kids. You can't teach or instill something in someone else that you do not practice yourself and parenting is the one thing we do in life that has an intergenerational, long term impact. We discuss the direct impact we can have on our children's belief and confidence in themselves through our own belief and confidence in ourselves. Parents often tell their kids not to care about what other people think about them, when in reality they themselves care a lot about what their own peers think. “Do you worry about what people think of you? Everything you're asking of your kids, you need to ask back of yourself. And if you can't answer the question the same way then you can't expect it of your children” 2:30.Sole focus for today 2:38A big realization 8:42Supervision vs mismanagement 18:16“I've been doing this schooling with Patty and I caught myself saying something to him. He's an intelligent dude. But if he's not getting stimulated, he'll just get a bit lazy. And I went to say to him, ‘Bro, you know you can do this. You're just being lazy.' And then It was just like a big mirror back at me.” 8:42 https://www.facebook.com/theirishmummy/https://www.instagram.com/the_irish_mummy/https://www.theirishmummy.comhttps://www.theirishmummy.com/ebook

A nice way to wrap up the week and the month, with a clever crossword by Jim Hilger -- all about product (mis)placement. Several common phrases had a noun replaced by a product -- for instance, 38A, Reason that the prestigious scientific journal refuses articles from President Herbert's relatives?, NATUREABHORSAHOOVER, and 97A Adding a historic ship as a deal sweetener, THROWINGINTHEBOUNTY. Very nice!Remember, if you want to subscribe to the New York Times crossword, you can do so right here: nytimes.com/crosswords, operators are standing by (so to speak).

Sunday May 4th 05/06/2014 0 Comments   Sunday May 4th – Matthew 9:18-38A man is asleep in bed when he hears a knock on the front door.He wakes up and looks at his clock, and it's three in the morning. He thinks, "I'm not getting out of bed at this time of night."  So he rolls over and goes back to sleep.Then, a louder knock follows.His wife says "Aren't you going to answer that?" So he drags himself out of bed and goes downstairs. He opens the door and there is stranger standing at the door. It doesn't take the homeowner long to realize the man is drunk."Hi there," slurs the stranger. "Can you give me a push?""No, get lost. It's three AM. I was in bed!" The man slams the door. He goes back up to bed and tells his wife what happened and she says, "That wasn't very nice of you. Remember that night we broke down in the pouring rain on the way to pick the kids up from the baby sitter and you had to knock on that man's house to get the car started again? What would have happened if he'd told us to get lost?""But the guy was drunk," says the husband."It doesn't matter," says the wife. "He needs our help and it would be the Christian thing to help him."So the husband gets out of bed again, gets dressed, and goes back downstairs.He opens the door, and shouts, "Hey, do you still need a push??"And he hears a voice cry out, "Yeah."So he looks out into the street for a car and shouts, "Where are you?"And the stranger says, "I'm over here, on your porch swing."The simple fact is…sometimes we need to wake up, even when we don't want to! And here in the remaining verses of Matthew chapter 9 we see some folks who are ready to wake up and some who aren't. (Starting in verse 18)While He was saying these things to them, a synagogue official came and bowed down before Him, and said, “My daughter has just died; but come and lay Your hand on her, and she will live.” 19 Jesus got up and began to follow him, and so did His disciples.It's fairly likely that this synagogue official, whose name the Gospel of Mark tells us is Jairus, wasn't a follower of Jesus. In fact he was probably opposed to Jesus' ministry because Jesus was opposed to the established religious authorities. We could say that this situation forced Jairus to swallow his pride and approach a man whose ministry and teaching he had been taught not to believe in. This was a wake-up call for Jairus. His daughter's life depended on Jesus being more than who Jairus once thought He was. He takes a drastic step of faith and asks Jesus to touch her and raise her from the dead. Jesus follows him without hesitation, but along the way someone else has a wake-up call!20 And a woman who had been suffering from a hemorrhage for twelve years, came up behind Him and touched the fringe of His cloak; 21 for she was saying to herself, “If I only touch His garment, I will get well.” 22 But Jesus turning and seeing her said, “Daughter, take courage; your faith has made you well.” At once the woman was made well.This woman knew that by Jewish religious law she was considered unclean because of her bleeding. She also knew that it was considered improper for any woman to touch the hem of a man's prayer shawl.But she's tired of being told what she can and can't do by people who can't help her!She wakes up to the reality that it's going to take some desperate, drastic faith on her part to go beyond what is considered acceptable and instead just do what is necessary - and as a result she is healed. Even though society tells this woman she's not the kind of person who should be around other people; that she should just go off on her own and continue to SUFFER, she's going to reach out and touch the hem of Jesus' cloak anyway.Even though the world tells Jairus that it's too late, that his daughter is past the point of healing; even though the religious leaders have told him that Jesus is a sinner and isn't sent by God, he's going to come to Jesus anyway.23 When Jesus came into the official's house, and saw the flute-players and the crowd in noisy disorder, 24 He said, “Leave; for the girl has not died, but is asleep.” And they began laughing at Him. 25 But when the crowd had been sent out, He entered and took her by the hand, and the girl got up. 26 This news spread throughout all that land.Jesus asserts that what the people are calling death for this little girl is only sleep.They laugh at Him for saying so, but then He proves that He has the power to wake the even the dead. This isn't the only time this happens. In John 11:11-14 Jesus says,“Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep; but I go, so that I may awaken him out of sleep.” 12 The disciples then said to Him, “Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will recover.” 13 Now Jesus had spoken of his death, but they thought that He was speaking of literal sleep. 14 So Jesus then said to them plainly, “Lazarus is dead” Then Jesus goes and raises Lazarus from his “sleep”.In 1st Thessalonians 4:13-16 the Apostle Paul uses the same words as well:“But we do not want you to be uninformed, brethren, about those who are asleep, so that you will not grieve as do the rest who have no hope. 14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so God will bring with Him those who have fallen asleep in Jesus. 15 For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord, will not precede those who have fallen asleep. 16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.”Both the story of the Jairus' daughter and the story of the woman with the hemorrhage illustrate the role of faith in the kingdom of God. Faith is a wake-up call!2nd Corinthians 5:7 says “for we walk by faith, not by sight.” The amazing thing to realize is that “walking by sight”, or believing what our natural senses tell us, is the equivalent of being asleep! It's only through faith that our eyes are truly opened and we are awakened to what God is REALLY doing!That same truth appears in the encounter of the blind men.27 As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed Him, crying out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” 28 When He entered the house, the blind men came up to Him, and Jesus said to them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”30 And their eyes were opened. And Jesus sternly warned them: “See that no one knows about this!” 31 But they went out and spread the news about Him throughout all that land.Let's face it…these men had no CHOICE but to walk by faith; they COULDN'T walk by sight!Jesus puts it to them very simply. “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” They said to Him, “Yes, Lord.”29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “It shall be done to you according to your faith.”So there is clearly an element of faith at work in these three healings we've looked at. But this next example gives us a little bit of balance in our understanding of the relationship between God's power and our faith.32 As they were going out, a mute, demon-possessed man was brought to Him. 33 After the demon was cast out, the mute man spoke; and the crowds were amazed, and were saying, “Nothing like this has ever been seen in Israel.”What's different between this healing and the others? In this case there is no evidence of the demon-possessed man showing any faith at all, but he still gets healed. Why is that significant? I believe we need to be reminded that although our faith has a role in what God is doing – He is not LIMITED by our faith. He is sovereign and can show His power when and where He chooses to.Now if you need an example of some folks who TRULY needed a wake-up call, look at verse 34:But the Pharisees were saying, “He casts out the demons by the ruler of the demons.”Although Matthew doesn't mention it, the Gospel of Mark tells us that it was that very accusation that Jesus called the blasphemy of the Holy Spirit.When God is moving and you're saying it's the devil, you need a wake-up call!The fact is, many people were asleep to what Jesus was doing, but Jesus was walking through the world wide awake, and what He saw caused Him to be moved with compassion.35 Jesus was going through all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues and proclaiming the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.36 Seeing the people, He felt compassion for them, because they were distressed and dispirited like sheep without a shepherd.Why were the people wandering aimlessly, like sheep without a shepherd? It was because those who were supposed to be leading them were ASLEEP! God brought this charge against the shepherds of Israel in Ezekiel 34:8“As I live,” declares the Lord God, “surely because “My flock has become a prey,My flock has even become food for all the beasts of the field for lack of a shepherd, and My shepherds did not search for My flock, but rather the shepherds fed themselves and did not feed My flock.”God has compassion on the sheep, even as Jesus does here in Matthew chapter 9. Ezekiel continues in verses 11-15For thus says the Lord God, “Behold, I Myself will search for My sheep and seek them out.12 As a shepherd cares for his herd in the day when he is among his scattered sheep, so I will care for My sheep and will deliver them from all the places to which they were scattered on a cloudy and gloomy day. 13 I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries and bring them to their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the streams, and in all the inhabited places of the land. 14 I will feed them in a good pasture, and their grazing ground will be on the mountain heights of Israel. There they will lie down on good grazing ground and feed in rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. 15 I will feed My flock and I will lead them to rest,” declares the Lord God.God promises to BE the shepherd that the people are lacking.And Jesus says in John 10:11 “I am the good shepherd; the good shepherd lays down His life for the sheep.”But how does Jesus do that? He actually does it through US! We are called to be co-laborers with Jesus in caring for His sheep.So the last piece of this wake-up puzzle is to ask “do WE need a wake-up call?” In verses 37 and 38 Jesus answers “possibly so.”37 Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. 38 Therefore beseech the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”Jesus' statement that the harvest is “plentiful” indicates that the number of lost souls in this world is abundant. I'm sure most of us could think of plenty of people in our families, our neighborhoods and our workplaces that don't have a relationship with Jesus. The emphasis here is on the need for workers to spread the gospel. But keep this thought in mind; If the laborers are “few”, then I shouldn't be expecting some other laborer with extra time on his hands to come along and reach out to the “harvest” of lost people God has placed in MY life!Listen to how this commentary puts it:“The “laborers” are not angels sent to gather the lost for judgment, but disciples who imitate Jesus by proclaiming the coming of His kingdom. Jesus commands His disciples to pray for God to send workers. No one can do the work of the harvest without being equipped for it by God.”In closing, let's remember Isaiah's response when God was looking for someone to carry His message.In Isaiah 6:8 God asks a question:Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?”And Isaiah doesn't wait for someone else to come along. He says:Then I said, “Here am I. Send me!”
