Discerning spirits, the nature of God, glorious sociality, the timing of the Second Coming, eternal marriage, and plural marriage. In this pivotal lesson, we jump into the deep end of Restoration doctrine, covering Joseph Smith's most profound teachings on the nature of God, our eternal potential, and the covenants that bind us forever. Summary: This episode explores D&C 129–132, revelations containing foundational and high-level doctrine for the Church. D&C 129: Discerning Spirits. The Lord provides "three grand keys" to distinguish a resurrected being, a righteous spirit, and the devil appearing as an angel of light. This section emphasizes the eternal reality of the body and the importance of discernment. D&C 130: Eternal Knowledge and Timing. Joseph records several "items of instruction," including the promise that "whatever principle of intelligence we attain unto in this life, it will rise with us in the resurrection," providing an "advantage in the world to come." He also recounts the Lord's gentle command to "trouble me no more" about the timing of the Second Coming. Crucially, we learn that the "same sociality" we enjoy here, "coupled with eternal glory," will exist in the world to come. D&C 131: The New and Everlasting Covenant. This section reveals that in the celestial glory, a man "must enter into this order of the priesthood [the new and everlasting covenant of marriage]" to obtain the highest degree and have an eternal "increase." D&C 132: Eternal Marriage and Law. This essential revelation lays out the foundational law of eternal marriage, which must be "sealed by the Holy Spirit of promise" and entered into by revelation through the authorized servant. We discuss the stark difference between marriages that "have an end when men are dead" and those that lead to "thrones, kingdoms, principalities, and powers." We also examine the difficult topic of plural marriage, seeing it as an Abrahamic test given by command to "restore all things."

Leo Fong was a true Renaissance man — a martial arts Grand Master, filmmaker, and Methodist minister who turned life's challenges into fuel for creativity. Born in 1930s Arkansas, Leo faced racial discrimination early, leading him to boxing and later martial arts as a way to build confidence and strength. His journey took him from judo dojos and kung fu studios in San Francisco to becoming a close friend and sparring partner of Bruce Lee. Their friendship shaped his lifelong philosophy that “the ultimate is inside of you,” inspiring Leo to develop his own fighting style that fused boxing precision with kung fu adaptability. His passion for martial arts soon crossed into cinema when a producer invited him to star in Murder in the Orient, launching a decades-long career in independent action filmmaking.From Kill Point and Low Blow to Blood Street, Leo not only acted but also wrote and produced his films, often on shoestring budgets and with his own hands-on ingenuity. He directed scenes using hamburger meat-filled props, bought junkyard cars for $125, and learned filmmaking by doing — one movie at a time. His films, though low-budget, carried immense heart and authenticity, earning cult followings and international success. Beyond the punches and kicks, Leo's story is about humility, integrity, and community — lessons he carried from the dojo to the film set. As he said near the end of his career, “We're all family in the martial arts. Better to make friends than enemies — and always have fun while you're at it.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/indie-film-hustle-a-filmmaking-podcast--2664729/support.

Great morning, world—welcome back to Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, I'm joined by someone who has changed the way thousands of people think about motivation, achievement, and the stories we tell ourselves about success—Nic Voge. Nic is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and one of the foremost voices on Self-Worth Theory, a framework first developed by Dr. Martin Covington. His work brings this theory to life, helping students, professionals, and leaders understand how the drive to protect our self-worth often hides beneath patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. You may know Nic from his viral TED Talk, where he reveals why high achievers often struggle the most—and how true confidence comes not from doing more, but from redefining where our sense of worth comes from. This isn't just a conversation about productivity—it's about identity.It's about how we relate to failure, success, and the quiet belief that we are—or aren't—enough. So take a deep breath.Because today, we're going to make sense of the stories that shape our self-worth—with Nic Voge.

" " You do have to ask the questions, and if you stop asking, and if it appears that you're not paying attention, that's when bad things can happen,  and that's when, I don't wanna call 'em the bad guys, but that's when the big guys win, when you stop paying attention." " It didn't take me long to realize that the big guys, like the Army Corps of Engineers are really just like bullies in the fourth grade playground. They're, they're big, but they're not smarter. They, they they, and, and the, they're elegant because they're big. And, and you know what happens when you're big and you're arrogant, you make big mistakes." " When that criticism comes, you need to look at it like free advice, free advice. What they're doing is they're finding problems with what you're doing and, and some of their points may actually be correct.

Download the FREE Escapee Starter KitEpisode SummaryAfter nearly 30 years in corporate communications, Ed Patterson didn't just leave corporate—he left the country. He and his partner planned their move to Portugal, secured residency, and designed a new life where work no longer sits at the center. We cover what it really takes to prepare (financial, legal, lifestyle), what he'd do sooner, how he reframed success to “quality of my day,” and practical advice for anyone considering a similar shift—whether you move abroad or simply want more control at home.Chapter markers • 00:00 Intro: Why Ed left corporate and the U.S. • 00:45 Ed's background: PR/Comms, crisis, agency + in-house • 03:00 The Portugal plan: residency, D7 visa, timelines, consultants • 05:35 How they prepared: roles, finances, finish lines, advisor sign-off • 10:50 Healthcare and costs: private insurance, day-to-day expenses • 14:40 Redefining happiness: “quality of my day,” health, sleep, energy • 20:13 Advice to 30- and 40-somethings: plan for when you want to—and when you have to • 26:14 Do an inventory: skills, network, gaps, use corporate to upskill • 30:11 Action over waiting: fractional, contracts, bridge income • 33:06 The “adventure years” mindset and inviting questions • 35:23 CloseKey takeawaysPlan with intent: set a finish line, pressure-test with a financial advisor, and define roles at home.Consider geo-arbitrage: lower costs can pull your finish line forward by years.Optimize your day: sleep, movement, and mental space beat title-chasing.Treat corporate like your one client: extract skills, network, and education while you're there.Build optionality: fractional work and short contracts can bridge income during transitions.Do the inventory: skills, network, marketable experiences, and gaps to close before you jump.Prepare for both scenarios: when you choose to leave—and if corporate chooses for you.Health matters: design a life you can actually enjoy.GuestEd Patterson:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/edpatterson1/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/twoguysinportugal Callout quotes“We hit our finish line sooner because our costs dropped by a third to a half.”“I sleep better, eat better, and feel more creative. That was impossible when work ran my day.”“Plan for your choice—and for the day you may not have one.”

California has taken a new approach to protecting minors online. Governor Gavin Newsom just signed the Digital Age Assurance Act, shifting responsibility for age assurance to app developers while leaving verification to self-reported age data at the operating system level. The law—backed by Big Tech and set to take effect in 2027—moves away from the stricter parental consent models in Utah and Texas and creates a new compliance landscape for developers under CCPA and COPPA. Hosted by Simone Roach. Based on a blog post by Alysa Z. Hutnik, Laura Riposo VanDruff, Alexander I. Schneider, and Salim Rashid.
