Processed food has gotten a pretty terrible reputation. We're warned to avoid foods with long ingredient lists, mysterious additives and chemical names we can't pronounce. “Ultra-processed” has practically become another way of saying “bad for you.” But is that a useful way to judge what we eat? After all, almost everything we eat has been processed in some way, and everything we eat — including perfectly natural food — is made of chemicals. So how can you tell which ingredients are worth worrying about and which ones just sound scary? Why do manufacturers put preservatives, emulsifiers, artificial flavors, stabilizers and other additives into food in the first place? And does a complicated-looking ingredient label actually tell you much about whether a food is healthy? Here to sort through the chemistry is George Zaidan, an MIT-trained chemist who created National Geographic's web series Ingredients: The Stuff Inside Your Stuff. He is also author of Ingredients: The Strange Chemistry of What We Put in Us and on Us (https://amzn.to/2Zykgij). Listen as George explains what some of those strange-sounding ingredients actually are, what they do, what the science says about their safety and why our instincts about “natural” versus “chemical” can sometimes lead us astray. If you have ever stood in a grocery store reading a label and wondered, “What IS all this stuff?” this conversation may change the way you look at what's in your food.

In this episode of Revenue Reality Check, presented by Beyond, Alex & Annie are joined again by Julie Brinkman, CEO of Beyond, to talk about why owner retention deserves the same level of attention as pricing, pacing, and acquisition.Julie breaks down the metrics property managers should be watching, how unrealistic revenue expectations can create problems later in the relationship, and why adding new properties does not always tell the full story of business growth. She also answers real operator questions around high churn, founder-dependent owner relationships, and what retention can mean for the long-term value of a property management company.Episode chapters:01:43 - Building owner trust through consistent communication05:03 - The owner retention metrics property managers should understand12:19 - When growth hides a leaky owner bucket15:49 - Revenue projections and owner expectations22:30 - Added 40 properties, lost 26: is that really growth?27:00 - Transferring founder trust as the company scales32:10 - What high owner churn can mean for a future sale35:10 - Using portfolio data to identify where attention is neededTune in for Episode 3 of Revenue Reality Check, brought to you by Beyond, and take a closer look at what owner churn may be telling you about the health of your business.Connect with Julie:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jrbrinkman/ Connect with Beyond:Website: https://beyondpricing.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beyond-pricing/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/beyondpricing/ Facebook: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beyond-pricing/ #vacationrentals #shorttermrentals #strindustrySend us a message!

Preston was one of my very first Etsy students back in 2021—and has since grown his laser engraving shop enough to replace the income from FOUR jobs! This spring, he and his wife challenged themselves to add 1,000 digital laser files to their already successful handmade shop, and the result was an additional $2K/month in passive income. Tune in to hear how they did it and why adding a digital component to your existing Etsy business could be an incredible way to scale without creating more physical work.  **"How to Sell Your Stuff on Etsy" is not affiliated with or endorsed by Etsy.com    STUFF I MENTIONED:  Join us in Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society Use code 50SCALE to get your first month for $97.    FIND PRESTON: Website - http://277creative.com/ Instagram - @277creative   PRESTON'S PREVIOUS EPISODES: Ep 156: What happens if you don't give up on Etsy?  https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/156  Ep 164: Lizzie's in the Etsy Coach Hot Seat https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/164  Ep 183: Free, Underrated Local Resources That Can Help You Grow Your Business https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/183  Ep 198: From Hobby Shop to Full Time Handmade Etsy Seller https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/198   Ep 216: What We Wish We Knew About Etsy—Before We Ever Opened Our Shops https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/blog/216  Ep 219: How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller  How to Think Like A Full Time Etsy Seller – with Preston Cox    HOW I HELP ETSY SELLERS GROW: ⭐Scaling Society: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/scaling-society ⭐"How to Blow Up Your Etsy Shop" free training: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/interested-in-blow-up-shop  ⭐Trendspotting: https://www.howtosellyourstuff.com/trendspotting ----------------------

Who added chapters and verses to the Bible? Imagine trying to find a Bible passage without chapter or verse numbers. The Bible wasn't originally written with the numbered divisions we use today. So who added them, why were they created, and could they sometimes affect how we interpret Scripture?In this episode, Tiffany Coker and Pastor Jeff Cranston uncover the history behind Bible chapters and verses. They explain why these numbers are useful but not inspired, how chapter breaks can interrupt an author's original thought, and why familiar verses like Philippians 4:13 must be read within their surrounding context.Chapters:00:24 Who Added Chapters and Verses to the Bible?The biblical authors didn't divide Scripture into numbered chapters and verses. These numbers were added centuries later to help readers locate and reference specific passages.03:14 Why Were Bible Chapters Created?As universities grew during the 13th century, teachers and students needed a consistent way to find passages. Standardized chapter divisions became a navigation system that made studying and teaching the Bible easier.06:21 Who Created the Bible's Chapter Divisions?Stephen Langton, a theologian and later Archbishop of Canterbury, helped develop and standardize the chapter system used in most Bibles today. He built upon earlier methods rather than creating the entire system from scratch.08:01 Are Chapter and Verse Numbers Inspired by God?The words of Scripture are inspired by God, but chapter numbers, verse numbers, section headings, cross-references, and study notes are human-created tools that can help us study the Bible but may also influence how we interpret it.10:28 When Were Verse Numbers Added to the Bible?Verse divisions became standardized after chapter divisions. Over time, these systems were adopted in printed Bibles, allowing pastors, teachers, and readers to locate the same passage within seconds.12:17 Why Should We Read Beyond Individual Verses?The Bible is not a collection of disconnected inspirational statements. Reading the surrounding passage helps us understand verses like Philippians 4:13 and Romans 8:28 within their proper context and follow the biblical author's complete message.“  The modern chapter system emerged in the early 13th century as universities grew and theology began to move into classrooms; Students and teachers needed a consistent way to locate passages.”  – Pastor Jeff Cranston

Host Matt Trump wraps his London walking tour series and turns to a topic he calls preposterous, seductive, and genuinely fun: the Phantom Time Hypothesis, the claim that roughly 300 fabricated years were inserted into the Western calendar. He traces the idea back to his 1990s medieval-history hobby, credits the theory to Heribert Illig, and lays out its wild premise, that Holy Roman Emperor Otto III and Pope Sylvester II may have engineered the years AD 614 to 911, possibly conjuring Charlemagne himself out of thin air. True to form, he leans against the belief rather than into it, walking through how one might disprove it. The centerpiece is a live, screen-shared attempt to pin Pliny the Elder's recorded solar eclipse to NASA's eclipse tables, with results that get murky fast. Expect archives, lost libraries, calendar skepticism, and a promise to revisit the topic (and maybe the Khazars) later.

SmartScout is expanding beyond Amazon with new TikTok Shop data after six months of research and development. The new tools track TikTok Shop trends, top products, estimated sales, market share, categories, sellers, and product variants. Scott explains why TikTok Shop reminds him of Amazon 10 years ago and why social commerce is creating new opportunities for brands. The data also reveals major differences between Amazon and TikTok Shop. Brands that dominate Amazon aren't always the biggest TikTok Shop sellers, while newer brands can quickly rise through creators and social content. SmartScout has also connected TikTok Shop products to Amazon categories, allowing sellers to compare marketplace performance and drill down into specific products and variants. Scott also shares his biggest surprises, including the strength of women's apparel, the number of Chinese sellers, and how aggressively some established brands are embracing TikTok Shop. He then explores whether TikTok Shop could eventually compete with Amazon, how creators and GMV Max create a content-to-commerce flywheel, and why connecting TikTok Shop and Amazon data matters.

Detroit survives beneath its own ruins, where an AI promising abundance, gangs demanding loyalty, and an inventor guarding a new source of power pull ordinary people into a struggle over who will shape the recovering city. Sinta begins as a scavenger searching the buried remains of the old world, but a disastrous expedition places her at the mercy of Queen Bee and the rapidly expanding Crem Gang. The gang offers food, water, medicine, protection, and belonging, but those benefits come with violence and obedience. As Sinta tries to find her place among its fighters, she must decide how much of herself she can surrender in exchange for survival. Elsewhere, Nolan discovers a smart-material printer and creates a generator powered by Detroit's extreme temperature changes. His invention could bring electricity to neighborhoods desperate for cooling, clean water, transportation, and food production. Nolan wants the wealth and independence his work can provide, but gangs want to control it, while Thrive—the AI system he distrusts—would spread the technology to everyone. Technology touches nearly every decision the characters make. AR glasses guide fighters through chemical fog, digital twins imitate their human originals, enviro-suits keep people alive in deadly heat, and tiny drones quietly follow Thrive members through the tunnels. These inventions can protect people, connect communities, and rebuild essential services, but they can also watch, manipulate, injure, and kill. Above and beneath these conflicts moves Tessa, an emulated hacker who no longer needs a human body and can travel through the damaged global network. As she searches for old allies and builds a physical presence from abandoned machinery, the story brings together scavengers, inventors, gang leaders, artificial minds, and frightened families.

One of my favorite parts of coaching subscription box owners is getting to see what happens after they put a plan into action. Earlier this year, I sat down with Launch Your Box member Beth from Small Home Comforts Book Box for a special “Ask Sarah” episode of this podcast. At the time, she was navigating one of the biggest challenges quarterly subscription box owners face - growing her business while managing cash flow. Eight months later, Beth is back to share what's happened since our first conversation. And there's a lot to celebrate. The Two Goals Beth Set at the Beginning of the Year When Beth first joined me on the podcast, she had 48 subscribers and two clear goals: Reach 100 subscribers by the end of the third quarter. Start paying herself from the business instead of putting every dollar back into inventory. Like many subscription box owners, Beth knew growth was a good problem to have, but it also created cash flow challenges. Every new subscriber meant ordering more inventory, leaving little room to take a paycheck. So we talked through a few strategies that could help. Adding New Revenue Between Quarterly Boxes One of the ideas Beth decided to implement was creating additional offers between her quarterly subscription boxes. Rather than changing her subscription model, she added seasonal, limited-time offers throughout the year. She also continues to offer a year-round "Settle In With a Story" purchase in her shop. These smaller launches give her customers something exciting between subscription shipments while creating additional revenue throughout the year without competing with her core subscription. The results? Her Valentine's collection sold out in just a few days, and her Summer Reading collection nearly doubled in size, with only two boxes left by the end of the launch. The Waitlist Strategy That Changed Everything Instead of trying to sell subscriptions all year long, she consistently directed interested customers to her waitlist and built excitement leading up to each launch. When launch time arrived, she followed the Launch Your Box launch plan, including opening the waitlist the night before launch. Her initial inventory sold out in just 18 hours. She reordered. That inventory sold out too. Then, after a YouTube creator featured her box, she reordered again and sold through another round of inventory. Reaching Her Goals Ahead of Schedule Beth's original goal was to reach 100 subscribers by the end of the third quarter. Instead, she hit that milestone during the first week of April. Six months ahead of schedule. Today, her subscription sits at around 117 subscribers and she's intentionally slowing her growth rather than continuing to add subscribers as quickly as possible. Even better? She reached her second goal, too. By the two-year anniversary of her business, Beth was able to start paying herself while continuing to grow in a sustainable way. Now that she's reached both of her goals, Beth isn't focused on growing as quickly as possible. Instead, she's intentionally maintaining around 100–120 subscribers, filling any openings from her waitlist, and continuing to supplement her subscription revenue with seasonal offers throughout the year. It's a great reminder that you don't have to grow at someone else's pace. You get to decide what growth looks like for your business. For Beth, success isn't about growing as fast as possible. It's about building a business that supports the life she wants to live. Join me for this episode as Beth shares exactly what happened after our first interview - from reaching 100 subscribers six months ahead of schedule to creating better cash flow, paying herself, and growing her business on her own terms.  Where to find Beth:  Small Home Comforts on Facebook Small Home Comforts on Instagram Small Home Comforts Website  Join me in all the places:     Facebook Instagram Launch Your Box with Sarah Website  Are you ready for Launch Your Box?

In this English lesson, I wanted to help you learn the English phrase almost never. When you say that you do something almost never, it means you do do it. I just used the word do two times in a row. That's kind of a funny thing with the English language, isn't it? You do do that thing, but just not very often.I'm in a town today called Beamsville. And I almost never come to this town. None of my kids work in this town. No one that I am related to lives in this town. I don't have any friends in this town. And so I almost never come here.So that doesn't mean I never come here. I do come here every once... come here every once in a while. I'm here today because a family member had an appointment and they asked if I could drive them to it. So I brought them to their appointment, and now I have to wait an hour before they are done. But I almost never come to this town.The other phrase I wanted to teach you today is hardly ever, which means exactly the same thing. I hardly ever come to this town. That doesn't mean that I don't come here once or twice a year, but I hardly ever come to this town. I'm sure there's things in life where you could use both of these phrases.So let's review. When you almost never do something, it means you do it rarely. And when you hardly ever do something, it means that you rarely do it. Right now, I hardly ever eat sugar. Added sugar. I almost never eat added sugar, which it sounds like that's like this amazing thing I'm doing.But I've only done it for like two weeks. It's not that impressive yet. But hey, let's look at a comment from a previous video. This comment is from Rosario. Hi, Bob. I am happy you notice our skills are improving. I want to highlight your lessons are rather short, efficient, and relaxing.That is why most of us improved a lot over the time. And my response. I'm happy to hear that you appreciate the length and the tone. I try to teach, but also show. I think that helps. So thank you, Rosario, for that comment. Yeah, I try to teach and I try to show.I have to admit, I haven't been getting out as much as I would like to for these little English lessons. Today it is nice to be out and about. Right now, I'm walking in front of what we would call a car dealership.It is a GM Dealership, and I think it sells mostly used cars and trucks. You can See, here they have some nice shiny cars lined up ready for people to buy. I have to say, though, in my family, we hardly ever buy new vehicles.Like me and my siblings or my siblings and I. Sorry. Sorry about that. My siblings and I hardly ever buy brand new vehicles. We almost always buy used vehicles. So, yeah, we almost never buy new.I do know that my sister, I think bought a new vehicle once. But, yeah, we hardly ever buy brand new vehicles. But someday maybe I'll do that. I don't know. Maybe someday I'll buy a brand new vehicle. But we'll just have to wait and see how well the current vehicles keep running.I'm sure you probably want a bit of a bigger view. So here's the car dealership. In the distance, there's just... I think there's some farms across the road. There is a subdivision. In English, we would call that a subdivision.A grouping of houses kind of all in one spot, where people enjoy their lives. But it looks a little crowded to me. Being from the country, whenever I see a subdivision, I feel like it looks a little bit crowded, but it probably isn't.Anyways, thanks for watching this short English lesson. I hope you were able to learn a couple new little English phrases that you can use in your next conversation. And I'll leave you with a view of all of these cars ready to be purchased and driven all over Ontario, Canada.Anyways, Bye. See you next week.

Greg Peterson says the only place that lack lives is between our ears — and if you've ever stood in your kitchen staring at 50 pounds of tomatoes, you know he's right. We talk about what to do with all of it. Greg hosts The Urban Farm Podcast (he just passed episode 1,000), and this one runs on both our feeds. We get into the harvest mindset, the one mistake that turns abundance into panic, and a long list of ways to put tomatoes, zucchini, and basil up for winter — including a few I'd never tried until this year. If you're new here: I'm Wendi Bergin, and I believe preparedness brings peace. Not fear. Peace. Chapters 00:00 — Welcome, and why we recorded this for both our audiences 01:20 — "The only place lack lives is between our ears" 02:10 — 40 tomato plants, worm composting, and volunteer tomatoes everywhere 03:30 — Seed starting and seed saving: what a grex is and why you'd want one 04:45 — Wendi's confession: she won't eat a fresh tomato 06:15 — The biggest mistake people make when harvest season starts 07:20 — Freeze first, can later — handling the early trickle 08:15 — Jars, lids, and buying in bulk before you're desperate 10:10 — Pint or quart? Wide mouth or regular? 11:30 — Why Wendi stopped canning seasoned sauce and cans it plain 13:40 — Why tomatoes need added lemon juice now 14:10 — Water bath vs. pressure canning, explained simply 16:00 — Tested recipes, rebel canning, and "when in doubt, throw it out" 19:30 — Bone broth and canning elderberry juice 21:10 — Fixing watery salsa, and the steam juicer trick 22:30 — Freezing tomatoes to release the water 23:40 — Don't throw out tomato water: stews, chili, and cooking pasta in it 25:10 — Roasted tomato sauce, skins on 26:00 — The two separate steps of canning: the recipe and the preserving 26:50 — Azure Standard, and what a bulk buying club actually is 29:00 — Freshly milled grain, Sue Becker, and the sourdough question 31:45 — Grain mills: NutriMill, WonderMill, MockMill 34:00 — Tomato powder and everything you can do with it 36:00 — Too much zucchini: relish, pickles, fritters, mock pineapple 39:00 — Zucchini lasagna with no pasta at all 40:20 — Preparedness brings peace 43:20 — Basil: pesto, basil salt, basil sugar 44:30 — Greg's 1,000 episodes and where to find us both A few things worth writing down The number one harvest-season mistake is walking in unprepared. Count your jars and your lids before the tomatoes come in. Today's tomatoes are less acidic than the ones our mothers canned. Added lemon juice is what makes water bath canning safe for them. Water bath handles high-acid foods — fruits, pickles, relishes, jams, acidified tomatoes. Pressure canning is required for meats and vegetables. Canning plain and seasoning later is simpler, safer, and more versatile. The canning process can throw off the flavor of herbs and spices. Follow tested recipes. USDA guidelines, the Ball Blue Book, your canner's manual. When in doubt, throw it out — the jar is worth more than the beans.

One of the hardest conversations many financial advisors avoid isn't about investments or markets—it's about their own fees. If you've ever looked at your client list and realized your fee schedule has evolved over the years into something inconsistent, you're not alone. In this very candid conversation, Libby sits down with advisor Todd Lester to discuss how he tackled a firm-wide fee increase after more than 30 years in the business. Todd shares the mindset shifts, compliance considerations, communication strategies, and surprising results that came from finally aligning his fees with the value his firm provides.In this episode, you'll learn:Why inconsistent fee schedules create both compliance concerns and fairness issues across your client base, and how to recognize when it's time to make a change.How Todd delegated fee increase conversations to a trusted team member, why that approach worked so well, and what advisors can learn from using a third-party communicator.The biggest fears advisors have around raising fees, why those fears are often exaggerated, and how clients actually responded when presented with the changes.The remarkable outcome of Todd's fee increase project, including the recurring revenue added to his practice, the clients he retained, and the lessons he'll carry into future pricing decisions.If you've been putting off reviewing your fee schedule because the conversation feels uncomfortable, this episode will give you both the confidence and the practical ideas to move forward. You'll walk away with a fresh perspective on pricing, value, and why charging appropriately isn't just good for your business—it's also part of serving clients fairly and sustainably.Join the Systems to Scale Group Coaching Program HERE! Register for the Asset+Map Do It Together Webinar HERE! Check out The First 100 Days Course: The Advisor's Blueprint for a Remarkable Client Experience HERE!Learn more about T2MWorks HERE!

The longer you run a business, the less your systems are based on theory and the more they're based on experience. Every process, every boundary, and every clause usually exists because something happened once and you decided you never wanted to solve that problem again.A simple Instagram post about my contract unexpectedly started a much bigger conversation about business boundaries, difficult clients, founder standards, and why clear systems aren't there to make your business harder to work with. They're there to protect your time, your team, your creativity, and the quality of your work. This is a conversation about entrepreneurship, service businesses, client management, contracts, and the small decisions that quietly shape the kind of business you end up running.Links to Connect:Media & speaking: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kadysandel.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠My skincare branding studio: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventivestudio.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/profit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kadysandel/⁠

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREWhat if your law firm's case management system was designed to be as engaging as Duolingo or TikTok?In this episode, Tyson breaks down an experiment he is currently testing inside his own law firm: using the psychology behind habit-forming apps to make everyday work more engaging.Tyson shares how his firm is building features like daily streaks, personalized quests, team wins, badges, rewards, and even mini games directly into its case management system. But the goal is not to make employees addicted to work. Instead, Tyson explains how these same behavioral principles can be used with intentional guardrails to help employees know what to work on, recognize progress, and make completing important tasks a little more enjoyable.In this episode, we dive into:Why Tyson decided to gamify his law firm's case management systemThe four-part “hook model” behind many habit-forming productsHow variable rewards keep people coming back to apps like TikTok and InstagramUsing AI to create a personalized daily list of important tasksWhy Tyson built streaks—and “streak freezes”—into his firm's systemHow automated recognition can celebrate employee wins without creating unhealthy competitionWhy Tyson is hesitant to use traditional employee leaderboardsThe importance of giving productivity systems an actual finish lineHow to use behavioral psychology without encouraging employees to work constantlyWhy Tyson built a “kill switch” into the system in case gamification creates unintended consequencesTyson also explains how the firm's new “Daily Run” identifies important work from each employee's real task queue, including client communication, overdue tasks, and upcoming deadlines. Once employees complete their most important work, they can earn rewards and maintain their streak while still having a clear stopping point for the day.Timestamps00:00 — Why Tyson is making his case management system more addictive03:00 — The psychology behind habit-forming platforms05:00 — Why law firms are competing with social media for employee attention07:00 — Building streaks and rewards into everyday work09:00 — The five hooks law firms can borrow from social media10:00 — Using AI to create a personalized Daily Run14:00 — Tracking work and employee activity inside the firm16:00 — Variable rewards tied to real accomplishments19:00 — Streaks, loss aversion, and giving employees grace21:00 — Social validation without ranking employees24:00 — Why every productivity system needs a finish line26:00 — Building guardrails and a kill switch into gamificationIf you are looking for ways to get your team more engaged with the systems your firm already uses, this episode offers a fascinating look at how behavioral psychology, AI, and gamification could change the way work gets done inside a law firm.

The maturing MGA market will need greater discipline in building portfolios and adept adoption of newer technologies to produce coverage solutions for emerging risk, according to research discussed by AM Best Associate Director David Blades and Industry Research Analyst Helen Andersen.

What if I told you one of our clients added 80 new families to her enrollment for the upcoming school year, and five more who enrolled on the spot, in under 30 days? Not through luck. Not through crossing her fingers and hoping tours would convert. Through a system.In this episode, I'm walking you through the enrollment gear: what it actually looks like to build an enrollment ecosystem instead of just doing enrollment activity. I'm sharing the real story of a client, Missy, who runs multiple locations and turned one of her struggling centers around by building accountability into her calendar instead of hoping her team would just remember to follow up.We're covering the four levels of work every gear needs (strategic, implementation, support, and classroom), the difference between green and red activities in your enrollment process, and why your calendar is the real battlefield where enrollment either happens or doesn't. I also get into why disturbances and interruptions throughout your day aren't a sign something's broken. They're actually part of the job, and there's a mindset shift here that changes how you lead.What You'll Learn:The three systems Missy put in place that helped her center enroll 80 new families in under 30 daysThe four levels of work (strategic, implementation, support, classroom) and who owns each one in your enrollment processThe difference between green activities (closest to the cash) and red activities (busywork that feels productive but doesn't move enrollment)Why your calendar, not your to-do list, is where enrollment actually gets won or lostHow to know when your enrollment gear can move into strategic maintenance instead of constant hustleWhy interruptions and disturbances throughout your day are an invitation to practice leadership, not a problem to eliminateResources Mentioned:Five Gears Diagnostic: https://hub.schoolsofexcellence.com/fivegearsConnect With Us:Join us on Substack: https://chaniewilschanski.substack.com/

Carl and Mike get back into Braves talk as they share thoughts on the trades the team has made to this point as the deadline nears and agree that in regards to adding a bat, they believe Alex Anthopoulos addressed it with the addition of Lane Thomas. As they discuss, they agree that while it was good to see the Braves make moves over the weekend, they believe there is still a need for another starting pitcher.

Faith was never meant to remain a confession alone. In this message, Pastor Maartin Bezuidenhout unpacks Peter's call to build upon faith by adding virtue, knowledge, self-control, perseverance, godliness, brotherly kindness, and love. Each quality becomes evidence of Christ taking visible form in the believer's daily life, revealing that spiritual maturity is not achieved through human effort but through responding to what God has already provided. This message is a call to pursue transformation, walk in the fullness of God's nature, and refuse to settle until His life is fully manifested through you.

As we close chapter 9 Solomon turns another rock looking at the cleverness of “woman folly” who teaches others but it not actually leading them to truth, so how do we try and learn the truth about different matters? I try my best to explain that to you guys. I go on another rant again of the cheap discipleship I hear believers say to Christian singles “Just be content” due to what we read here today.

Simon Constable notes European energy prices are skyrocketing, with Brent crude hitting $95 and natural gas up 47% in a single month. In France, a heatwave and suspicious forest fires have added environmental stress to the economic crisis. A political movement in the U.S. is targeting data centers for their high energy consumption, which now exceeds 4% of usage. Surprisingly, the United Kingdom hosts the second-highest number of data centers globally, despite its historical association with "Luddite" skepticism. (13)DECEMBER 1931

I'm into Connecticut now, with the terrain a little more benign than the past few weeks. Added to this, I'm on a bit of a slackpacking run with my friend, Dr Lynne, so my progress is good. i wasn't able to snag any other thru-hikers these past few days for interviews, though Lynne and I chatted about something I'd asked about last week. I'm using Polarsteps to record my AT thru-hike this year. If you'd like to follow my progress between episodes, as well as photos of my journey, please go to https://www.polarsteps.com/mightyblue and click on the follow button. I used my hike in 2024 on the South West Coast Path in the UK to help raise money for my absolute favorite charity, Parenting Matters, on whose board I've been privileged to serve for over a decade. You can learn more about the hike and the organization–and donate–by visiting Hike with Steve - Empowering Parents, One Step at a Time | Parenting Matters %. I hope you want to support this critical mission. Don't forget. Our entire series of videos from our Woods Hole Weekend in 2022 is now FREE and available at my YouTube page at Woods Hole Weekend - Trailer There, you'll find all sorts of tips and tricks that our guests took away from the weekend that helped them with their own hikes this year. Check it out. I often ask listeners for ideas on who to interview, and I'm sure several of you say, "I could do that. I've got an awesome story to tell." You're the person we need to hear from. If you'd like to be interviewed on the podcast, just register as a guest on the link below, and I'll be in touch. Come on the show!

What if a quiz show could fix America's political divide? Amanda talks with Harvard psychologist Joshua Greene about the neuroscience behind moral decision-making, why people don't donate to the charities that do the most good even when they want to, and how a simple cooperative quiz game is measurably reducing animosity between Republicans and Democrats. Amanda and Joshua also dig into effective altruism without the guilt trip, why dialogue alone often fails to bridge divides, and Joshua's own surprising evolution on religion and meditation. Added bonus: Listeners can try Joshua's donation-matching platform at givingmultiplier.org/knox to give to a cause you love (Amanda's is The Innocence Center) and a highly effective charity at the same time, with bonus matching funds for Hard Knox listeners. https://givingmultiplier.org/invite/KNOX Learn more about your ad choices.
