In this final installment of the year-long series on the Book of Ephesians, Pastor Ernest delivers a powerful message titled "The End is the Beginning." This sermon is a celebration of spiritual transition, emphasizing that every ending in our faith journey is a new beginning.Drawing from the conclusion of Ephesians 6:21-24, the sermon masterfully recaps the book's core themes, including the purpose of our spiritual relationships and how to engage in supernatural spiritual warfare using the Armor of God. Pastor Ernest highlights how Paul redefines relationships within the family and society, calling us to be "in the world, but not of the world." The message culminates in a deep dive into the three final blessings Paul bestows upon the church: peace (Eirene), love (Agape), and grace (Charis), defining each of these powerful Greek words and explaining their unmerited nature.The sermon's central message is that as believers, we are not only receivers of God's blessings but also messengers. Just as Tychicus carried Paul's message, we are called to be conduits of God's love, grace, and kindness to others. This sermon is a must-watch for anyone who wants to understand how to move from a season of learning to a season of being a blessing to the world.Keywords:Sermon, Christian, Bible study, Ephesians, Pastor Ernest, Higher Definition Church, End is the Beginning, Spiritual Warfare, Armor of God, Relationships, Peace, Love, Grace, Eirene, Agape, Charis, Christian living, spiritual growth, discipleship, ministry, gospel, faith.

Developing an almond tree that would rely less on honeybees and other benefits for farmers. A conversation with the head of Burchell Nursery–a leading independent tree nursery that has an in-house breeding program. 

The September 22 edition of the AgNet News Hour kicked off the week with a focus on California agriculture's staple proteins — beef, pork, poultry, and turkeys — as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill welcomed Darren Hill, sales manager at JD Food and a former five-star chef. Known as Nick's go-to expert on all things meat, Hill broke down the realities of today's cattle market and what consumers can expect as the holidays approach. After some lighthearted talk about pizza toppings and the recent rain across the Valley, the program shifted to crops. With half the raisin crop already on the ground and rain hitting parts of the Central Valley, raisin growers are anxiously watching for potential damage. Almond growers are in a similar position, with estimates possibly falling below the earlier 2.375 billion-pound projection. Pistachios, however, appear to have weathered the storm well. The heart of the show centered on Hill's insights into the beef industry. He explained that U.S. cattle numbers remain at their lowest since the 1950s, driven by drought, high feed costs, and freight expenses. With ranchers unable to retain enough heifers for breeding, herd rebuilding is stalled — and that means beef prices will stay high through at least 2026. Even so, demand has held steady, with many consumers sacrificing other purchases to keep beef on their tables. Hill also addressed consumer habits, noting that while pork and chicken remain more affordable, beef's cultural and holiday prominence keeps it in demand. From rib roasts at Christmas to prime rib at banquets, beef remains the centerpiece of seasonal meals. He highlighted cuts like tri-tip as a versatile, cost-effective option that continues to gain popularity. The conversation touched on grass-fed vs. corn-fed beef, Prop 12's lingering impact on pork supplies, and what to expect this turkey season. Despite concerns about avian influenza, Hill assured listeners that JD Food booked turkeys early and is well-prepared for holiday demand. As the hosts joked about their own preferences — dark meat vs. white meat, turkey vs. ham — one thing was clear: for California families, meat remains at the center of both daily meals and holiday traditions.

In this episode, host Jeremy Almond sits down with Mike Peterson, the founder of Bitcoin Beach in El Salvador, and CK Snarks from the Human Rights Foundation to explore how Bitcoin is transforming lives at the community level and beyond.Mike shares the Bitcoin Beach perspective on how a small grassroot project in El Zonte grew into a movement that helped shape El Salvador's decision to make Bitcoin legal tender. What started with paying local youth in Bitcoin for community work turned into a living example of financial inclusion and a circular economy built on digital currency. For many who had no access to banking, Bitcoin became the first tool to save, plan, and participate in the global economy.CK adds the human rights lens, showing how activists around the world are using Bitcoin when traditional financial systems fail. From Venezuela to Ukraine, digital currency has provided a way to fund movements, access money across borders, and resist dictatorships. Together, the stories show that Bitcoin is not just an asset but a tool that empowers people where it is needed most.If you want to understand Bitcoin adoption from the ground up, this conversation gives you the Bitcoin Beach perspective: real people, real communities, and a clear look at how financial inclusion can begin with one small project.

It was a packed Monday on the AgNet News Hour as hosts Nick Papagni, the Ag Meter, and Josh McGill delivered a show full of breaking updates for California agriculture. From shifting almond yields to critical relief for the dairy sector, farmers had plenty to tune in for. Almond Industry Update Nick sat down with Steve Malanka of West Valley Hauling for a ground-level perspective on this year's almond crop. Early in the season, projections of a massive three-billion-pound harvest had many in the industry worried about oversupply and falling prices. But Malanka's firsthand reports from the field paint a different picture. Yields are consistently off across the Central Valley, with haulers seeing reductions ranging anywhere from 10 to 22 percent compared to last year. Nonpareil yields are down significantly in many orchards, with some growers harvesting closer to 1,200 to 1,800 pounds per acre rather than the state's average of over 2,000. That decline is already strengthening prices, with growers seeing firmer markets and the possibility of hitting $3 per pound by spring. Malanka also broke down the quality challenges. This year, almond hulls absorbed much of the trees' energy, leaving smaller kernels and lower “turnouts.” While that's a concern for nut buyers, the dairy industry may benefit from the abundance of heavier hulls that are a valuable feed source. Major USDA Announcement for Dairy Producers The biggest news of the day came directly from USDA Deputy Secretary of Agriculture Stephen Vaden, who joined the show to announce an additional $1 billion in relief for livestock producers, including California's struggling dairy farmers. The funds, part of the Emergency Livestock Relief Program, are designed to offset increased feed costs caused by the flooding and wildfires of 2023 and 2024. This brings total ELRP funding to a record $2 billion. Importantly, Vaden emphasized that money will go directly to producers through their local FSA offices, with signups beginning September 15 and running through October 31. “This is going directly into the hands of California dairy producers,” Vaden said. “They need this money now, and we're making sure it gets to them quickly.” Why It Matters For California's farmers, the dual updates highlight both challenge and opportunity. Almond growers are watching yields decline but prices rebound, while dairymen finally see long-awaited federal support. As Nick and Josh noted, it's one of the most exciting Monday shows yet, with tangible news that could shape the season ahead for two of California's most important industries.

A new program offers almond growers free habitat seed to boost monarch butterflies, bees, and other pollinators essential to California agriculture.

What were these visions saying?

Ep 226 | This week on Discover Ag, Natalie and Tara dig into the headlines shaping agriculture, policy, and culture — with their usual dose of snark and sincerity. First up: The raw meat trend taking over social media. From carnivore to completely raw, influencers are eating uncooked steak, liver, and butter straight from the stick. The hosts explore why ex-vegans are leading this movement and what it says about our relationship with extreme diets and social media virality. Then, Cracker Barrel's $700 million rebrand disaster that wiped out Uncle Herschel and the iconic barrel — only to reverse course within days after massive backlash. Natalie and Tara unpack why nostalgia branding matters more than ever and how one comedian's take perfectly captured what went wrong. Next, CAT Construction nails viral marketing with their Taylor Swift engagement post, proving that sometimes the best brand moments come from jumping into cultural conversations at exactly the right time. Plus, the agricultural connections hiding in plain sight behind celebrity moments. And finally, California's almond industry faces an unexpected enemy: rats. With $300 million in damages and 100,000+ acres affected, this rodent invasion is threatening 80% of the world's almond supply. But is this crisis as new as headlines suggest?

When documentarian Shalom Almond received access to document a group of women prisoners training retired greyhounds to become house-friendly pets for her 2017 film Prisoners and Pups, she opened up a door to be able to capture the hidden stories of women prisoners in Australian jails. Prisoners and Pups is a gentle film that shows the power of rehabilitation programs in prisons, not just for the prisoners, but also for the greyhounds.Now, in 2025, she is back with her essential documentary Songs Inside. Here Shalom captures the lives of women in the Adelaide Women's Prison, becoming part of their lives for six-months as she documents their participation in a music program which sees prisoners learn how to play the ukulele, write songs, and sing, all in preparation for a performance with the Adelaide Symphony Orchestra in front of 200 inmates. The climactic performance became the largest concert staged within an Australian correctional facility.Along the journey, Shalom sits in the cells of the prisoners listening to their stories, accompanies them to hearings, and captures their rehearsal processes. Art becomes a salvation for those inside, a release that is given to the prisoners who show good behaviour. But Shalom is not alone in this process, with Barkindji singer-songwriter Nancy Bates guiding their process to becomes singers and songwriters in their own right.There's a beautiful charm to Songs Inside that never detracts the reality that these are women who have found themselves on the wrong side of the law. But Shalom also never focuses on what crimes they may have done to find themselves in this situation. Instead, she taps into the notion of redemption, showing in the process that their futures are in their hands and this musical process is a part of the healing journey they find themselves on.Ahead of Songs Inside's screenings at the Melbourne International Film Festival, I had a chat with Shalom about her work on the film, what it means to be a supportive filmmaker for her subjects, and more. With a career that spans over two decades, Shalom is someone I know I could talk for much longer about her work, and hopefully one day I will.Songs Inside also screens in competition at CinefestOz, with a full release to come down the line.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.

Sam Almond's middle name is Almond. His father's name is Almond, as is his grandfather's. And yet, we managed to go the whole episode without making a joke about his family being nuts. I'm proud of how far this show has come. What I'm not proud of is involuntarily breathing in a pack of cigarettes every time I walk to my car.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This Tuesday on the AgNet News Hour, hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill bring some serious summer heat, minus the triple-digit temperatures, thanks to powerful trade news and a deep-dive into California's almond and walnut outlook. From record-setting tariffs to shifting global markets, today's episode is a must-listen for anyone with a stake in American agriculture. One of the biggest stories this week is Australia reopening its market to U.S. beef. After a 20-year ban due to BSE (mad cow disease) concerns, American beef is now welcomed back under new science-based guidelines. This is a huge development for U.S. cattle producers and represents a growing trust in American food safety and production systems. Also making waves: a major trade agreement with the European Union. With 15% tariffs still in place on European imports and zero tariffs on most U.S. exports, American agriculture and especially energy and automotive industries stand to gain big. Josh and Nick highlight how this deal could bring in over $700 billion annually and open more doors for farmers across the country. But the real meat of today's show comes from an extended interview with Sonny Toor of Valley Pride Ag Company. Toor shares his insight on California's almond and walnut markets, addressing the USDA's surprisingly high crop estimate and its impact on grower prices. Despite the lower-than-hoped-for market numbers, Toor remains optimistic, stressing the long-term strength of U.S. nut exports and the need to strengthen domestic demand. He also calls for increased marketing efforts from the Walnut Board to match the momentum already seen in the almond sector. Toor's message to growers? Don't lose hope. Stay focused on quality and trust your marketing partners to ride the wave of global trade shifts. The episode wraps with a reminder about the upcoming Citrus & Specialty Crop Expo in Tampa on August 20–21. It's a great opportunity for California growers to connect with industry peers from across the country.
