Accountability

The modern cult of “holding space” has become a sanctuary for avoidance. We glorify tolerance while privately hemorrhaging self-respect. The phrase once meant presence; now it often means paralysis. Hold Dis L detonates the myth that unconditional compassion justifies self-erasure. Krishnamurti warned that conformity masquerades as kindness; Hawkins proved that guilt vibrates lower than anger. Together they whisper: love without discernment isn't love—it's spiritual codependency with better vocabulary.

How to unlock the power of groups through collective communication.They say teamwork makes the dream work. But as Colin Fisher knows, unlocking the power of groups requires a specific kind of collective communication.Fisher is an associate professor of organizations and innovation at University College London School of Management and author of The Collective Edge: Unlocking the Secret Power of Groups. His research reveals the dichotomy of group dynamics: "Groups can be the pinnacle of human accomplishment," he says. "But groups also have these tendencies to restrict us, to take away our individuality, and to sometimes make us the worst versions of ourselves.” The key, he argues, is fostering communication that maximizes the creative synergy of collaboration while minimizing the pressure to conform.In this episode of Think Fast, Talk Smart, Fisher joins host Matt Abrahams to share evidence-based strategies for effective teamwork, from selecting the ideal group size to fostering psychological safety. Whether with our coworkers, our families, or our friends, Fisher's insights reveal how collective communication can make or break group success.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Colin FisherColin's Book: The Collective EdgeEp.174 Fix Meetings: Transform Gatherings Into Meaningful MomentsEp.124 Making Meetings Meaningful Pt. 1: How to Structure and Organize More Effective Gatherings   Connect:Premium Signup >>>> Think Fast Talk Smart PremiumEmail Questions & Feedback >>> hello@fastersmarter.ioEpisode Transcripts >>> Think Fast Talk Smart WebsiteNewsletter Signup + English Language Learning >>> FasterSmarter.ioThink Fast Talk Smart >>> LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTubeMatt Abrahams >>> LinkedInChapters:(00:00) - Introduction (02:19) - Advantages and Disadvantages of Groups (03:53) - What Makes Teams Successful (05:37) - The Ideal Group Size (06:33) - Building Psychological Safety (08:49) - Launching a Team for Success (13:10) - Making Meetings More Effective (16:25) - The Final Three Questions (23:13) - Conclusion   ********This episode is sponsored by Grammarly.

Campbell's Headset Defines the Win in Washington The Detroit Lions walked out of Washington with a road win and a clearer identity. The camera told the story before the box score did. John Morton sat in the booth. Silent. Dan Campbell wore readers, gripped a play sheet, and owned the microphone. He called the offense. He never stopped talking. That shift mattered. It set the tempo. It framed every decision in a game the Lions controlled when it counted. This was not business as usual. It was a structural change. It was visible on the broadcast and confirmed after the game. The Detroit Lions Podcast made the point that many missed in real time. Campbell took command of the operation, and the sideline reflected it. Efficient communication. Direct sequencing. A head coach imprinting the plan on every snap against the Washington Commanders. This Is Dan Campbell's Offense Strip away the noise. The Lions run Dan Campbell's offense. That has been true since his first season. He took the plays then. He shaped the language. He refined the approach. Ben Johnson learned under him, executed it, and added wrinkles. That history matters now that Campbell is back on the stick. Campbell said it again this week. He laid out how the system came together and how his coaches fit inside it. Morton is part of that structure. Johnson, previously, was part of that structure. The ideas, the core concepts, the way the run and pass fit, the way Detroit marries formations to its identity, all flow from the head coach. The Lions' win at Washington looked like that lineage. Direct. Physical. Decisive. The quarterback, Jared Goff, works inside that framework. Timing, trust, and calls delivered from the top. Numbers Over Narratives The numbers told the story more cleanly than the chatter. Efficiency on schedule. Situational calls that stacked. Detroit's offense kept the plan ahead of the sticks, and the plan kept the defense honest. That balance tracked with Campbell's voice on the headset. The Detroit Lions Podcast drilled into how those figures aligned with last year's profile when the attack clicked. The overlap is the point. Scheme is stable. Play calling sharpens it. It is November. These are the NFL weeks that separate real contenders. The Lions leaned into what they do and who they are. That is the lesson that travels. What's Next: Clarity, Accountability, Enemies List Early this week, Campbell addressed the offensive structure and his staff. He kept it clear and kept it in-house. No finger-pointing. No burying a colleague. The head coach owns the call sheet and the outcomes. That posture resonates in the locker room and on the sideline. The enemies list is updated because November exposes problems and pretenders. The teams that threaten Detroit are stepping into view. Washington was a test in communication and control. The next tests intensify. With Campbell calling plays, the Lions know what travels: clean mechanics, decisive sequencing, and a head coach setting the tone. That is the edge. That is the standard. That is Detroit Lions football heading into the heart of the NFL season. https://www.detroitlionspodcast.com/?p=592624 Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Erez Levin, a prominent figure in the Ad Tech industry known for his focus on quality joins AdTechGod on the podcast today. They discuss Erez's journey from Google to founding his advisory firm, the complexities of defining quality in marketing, and the importance of ad placement and publisher quality. The conversation dives into the incentives that drive the industry, the accountability of marketers, and the future of quality in advertising. Erez emphasizes the need for marketers to demand better effectiveness for their spend and to question the status quo in the industry. Takeaways Quality in advertising is a range, not a binary. Marketing should be viewed as a cloud science, not a clock science. Investing in quality controls can yield significant benefits. The buy side has commoditized media, leading to a race to the bottom. Quality media will be increasingly valued in the future. Marketers create the incentives that drive quality in advertising. Don't let perfect be the enemy of the good when it comes to quality controls. The long tail of publishers will likely become commoditized. Trust your gut and question the consensus in the industry. Quality is ultimately determined by effectiveness in advertising.

Congress Has Failed America: 28 Years of Excuses, Corruption, and Chaos | Karel Cast 25-145 For nearly three decades, Congress has failed to do its most basic job — pass a full budget on time. The last time they did? 1997. The last time America actually balanced that budget? 2001. Since then, Congress has survived on stopgaps, continuing resolutions, and backroom deals that keep the lights on but leave the country broken. While Americans struggle with healthcare costs, gun violence, and rising inequality, Congress plays politics. Roe v. Wade? They could've made it law. Single-payer healthcare? They could've acted. Tax fairness, climate action, reining in tariffs, or even holding Trump accountable — all in their power, all ignored. This shutdown and every national crisis like it trace back to one truth: Congress doesn't work. It's time we demand accountability from the only branch that's supposed to represent us — and doesn't.

Notes Luke 21:5-19 Isaiah 65:17-25 2 Thessalonians 3:6-13 Summary In this episode of the Pulpit Fiction Podcast, hosts Eric Fistler and Robb McCoy explore the themes of apocalyptic literature, the signs of the times as presented in Luke 21, and the hopeful message of Isaiah 65. They discuss the importance of community, faithfulness, and the ongoing work of God in creating a new heaven and earth, while also addressing the challenges of undisciplined lives as mentioned in 2 Thessalonians. The conversation emphasizes the need for hope and action in the face of adversity, encouraging listeners to participate in God's work of justice and renewal.

Isaiah 65 presents a vision of hope and renewal for the future. The ongoing creation of a new heaven and earth is a present reality. Community building and justice are essential in participating in God's kingdom. The message of 2 Thessalonians addresses the importance of work and responsibility.

When the African Union was founded in 2002, it promised to deliver a more united, prosperous, and people-centred continent. Two decades later, Africa's political landscape tells a more complex story: one of ambition and frustration, democratic progress and reversal, renewed activism, and enduring inequality. How far has the AU come in shaping “The Africa We Want”, and what does its evolving role reveal about power, governance, and the continent's place in a rapidly changing world? In this episode, CEDAR host Temitayo Odeyemi talks to Dr Adeoye Akinola about his new co-edited volume African Union and Agenda 2063: The Past, Present, and Future (UJ Press, 2025) to unpack what over two decades of continental politics teach us about Africa's democratic future, regional integration, and global voice.

The More Sibyl Podcast Presents: 잘 세워진 남자| The One with Dr. Timi Adepoju On Becoming a Well-Built Man: Faith, Balance, and the Architecture of Leadership| Episode 33 (2025)To close out our Prostate Cancer & Men's Wellness Awareness Series, we sit with Dr. Timi Adepoju, a physician, leadership coach, entrepreneur, and living proof that adversity can be a launchpad.From growing up in Ibadan during Nigeria's era of scarcity to building thriving clinics and leadership programs in the U.S., his story is a masterclass in grit, grace, and growth. He reflects on how childhood lessons, faith, and a “make the most of what you have” mindset shaped the man he is today and why he refused to abandon his dream of becoming a physician, even when others urged him to take an easier road.But this conversation isn't just about achievement. It's a full reset on men's wellness and balance; a candid look at why men around the world are dying younger, how the “provider” mindset fuels silent exhaustion, and why rest, nutrition, yearly checkups, and breathing space are not indulgences, but survival tools.Dr. Adepoju shares his own transformation from 100-hour workweeks to building rhythms of rest, intentional vacations, and sustainable balance. For leaders and multitaskers, his thoughts on clarity, structure, and letting go will resonate deeply: how to create systems, trust your team, set weekly anchors, and accept that the world will keep spinning even when you take a day off.We also explore how he built Empower Children's Clinic in Mississippi by turning barriers into blueprints — seeing poverty, health disparities, and limited pediatric access as opportunities to serve. “Light comes out of darkness,” he says, and his clinics, now in multiple locations, prove it.In the end, we return to what greatness truly means. Vulnerability. Accountability. The courage to grow and evolve year after year. If you're a physician with a vision, a man redefining strength, or anyone learning to balance ambition with well-being, this episode will both ground and inspire you.Tune in to hear the full conversation; available now on all podcast streaming platforms.

Opening and Welcome "Amen. Praise the Lord. Welcome to Sunday morning Victory Church." Welcome to new visitors on behalf of Pastor Richard and Lisa. Prayer for God to speak to the congregation. Romans Overview and Chapter Focus Review of Romans chapters 1–11: Paul presented biblical/theological foundations for salvation. Chapter 12: Practical application—responsibility to God and society. Chapter 13 (today's focus): Responsibility to authority and neighbors. The Issue of Authority Authority is a challenging topic in modern times. Emphasizes a biblical rather than natural or emotional perspective on authority. Jesus' Teaching: Give to Caesar, Give to God Story from the Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke): Religious leaders try to trap Jesus with a question about paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' response: Give Caesar what belongs to Caesar and give to God what belongs to God. The intent was to expose their motives and teach about priorities. Romans 13:1–10—Responsibility to Authority God's Established Order (Verses 1–4) God has instituted human governments for societal order and protection from wrongdoing. Government is meant to be a servant for people's good and well-being. Calling vs. Command: Respect and Cooperation Christians are called to respect and cooperate with government, not to unconditional obedience. The Greek word for "submit" implies voluntary cooperation. When state laws conflict with God's commands, believers must obey God's word (Acts 4–5). Importance of interpreting scripture in context. The Nature of Authority (Verses 5–7) All authority comes from God, whether we understand or like it. God places people in authority to fulfill larger purposes (examples: Pharaoh, Nebuchadnezzar, Cyrus, Herod). Followers are called to submit for the Lord's sake and pray for those in authority (1 Peter 2:13, 1 Timothy 2:1–2). Accountability for Leaders and Followers Leaders are expected to rule justly and will be held accountable by God. Followers must live righteously; everyone is responsible for their own choices. Example: Roman Centurion's Understanding of Authority Roman centurion understood both earthly and divine authority. Authority flows from a higher source: God. Jesus commended the centurion's great faith. Love as the Divine Motivator (Verses 8–10) Love is the solution to authority issues. Ongoing debt of love ("let your only outstanding debt be your debt of love"). John 3:16 cited as the ultimate example of divine love. Greatest commandments: Love God and love your neighbor. Love fulfills the law and breaks the chains of authority issues. Conclusion and Application Culture distorts concepts like authority and love; scripture renews perspective. God's authority is ultimate; believers are called to please and live for Him. Prayer that misunderstandings and misconceptions would be resolved through relationship with God. Encouragement to let Christ's image be formed in us, to be diligent, light in darkness, and to be salt in the world.

Episode 3800: Tyler Tervooren shares two powerful true stories of individuals who overcame extreme odds by refusing to make excuses, an 11-year-old Ugandan boy who risked everything for an education and a Detroit man who walked 21 miles daily to keep his job. These examples underscore how taking full responsibility, rather than blaming external factors, boosts motivation, resilience, and long-term success. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.riskology.co/making-excuses/ Quotes to ponder: "Making excuses now has a cascading effect on how you behave in the future." "When you ask yourself those questions, you feel like you're still in control of your destiny." "If you focus on the story you can't control, you'll spiral towards failure. But if you focus on the story you can, you'll spiral towards success." Episode references: The Journal of Psychology: https://www.tandfonline.com/journals/vjrl20 Learn more about your ad choices.

Ryan launches a multi-part series, Twisted Passions, addressing homosexuality and same-sex attraction from a biblical framework. He establishes why pastors should clearly preach what Scripture says while also equipping the church to counsel and care for strugglers, and he outlines upcoming topics: Is this sin “different,” are people “born this way,” and how do we raise kids in a sexualized culture? The aim is clarity, compassion, and confident hope in Christ for real victory.Topics DiscussedWhy churches must preach plainly on homosexuality (OT & NT texts)Common progressive rebuttals and why they don't hold up biblically (e.g., “love = affirmation,” misuse of John 8)Word study: ἀρσενοκοίτης and Paul's clarity in 1 Cor 6 / 1 Tim 1Beyond the pulpit: moving from denunciation to discipleship and counseling in the local churchShepherding kids in a perverted culture; building a proactive family planInviting listener questions/testimonies for future episodesKey TakeawaysScripture speaks clearly; pastors should, too—without hatred or compromise.“Love the sinner; hate the sin” isn't a cliché—Jesus says, “Go and sin no more.”Paul's terminology intentionally names male-with-male practice; it isn't vague.Churches must pair clear preaching with hands-on help for real people.Parents need an intentional, early plan to disciple children amid cultural lies.Ready to download the Cord App?
