Have you ever said, “I can't believe I just did that”? Maybe you crossed a line you thought you'd never cross...betrayed someone you love, spoke words you can't take back, or failed God in a way that still makes you wince. In this week's message from Mark 14, we look at Peter's gut-wrenching denial of Jesus, and the moment he finally saw himself as he truly was: weak, broken, and unfaithful.But Peter's story doesn't end in shame. It ends with Jesus meeting him again, not in anger, but in grace. In this message, we'll explore:The reality of human weakness,The danger of overconfidence, andThe power for real change.You'll discover that Jesus isn't surprised by your failures and that He's already gone ahead of you to meet you in them. The Gospel truth is this: when we are faithless, He remains faithful.If you've ever said, “I never thought I was capable of that,” this message is for you.FOR GROUP DISCUSSION & REFLECTION:What is the main thing you took away from these verses and message?Peter said he'd never deny Jesus but he did. Where have you said “I'll never” but did (to God, others, etc.)? (No shame only honesty)Have you ever had a “rooster crow” moment where God woke you up to something? Or had His words flash across your mind?How does the reality “Jesus has loves you at your worst” bring comfort and/or encouragement to you?Who in your life needs to know about Jesus' faithfulness to faithless people?

This episode is brought to you by Commerce.For four decades, Ellis Verdi, Founder and President of DeVito/Verdi, has helped shape some of the most talked-about — and often controversial — campaigns in retail advertising. From launching Daffy's with bold, conceptual creative to working with Macy's, Kohl's, Men's Wearhouse and Meijer, Verdi has built a career on one philosophy: tell the truth, even if it ruffles feathers.Retail Remix host Nicole Silberstein sits down with Ellis to discuss what's changed (and what hasn't) about connecting with consumers, the ongoing tension between brand and performance marketing, and why controversy isn't always a bad thing — if it comes from an honest idea.Ellis shares the stories behind some of his favorite campaigns, including the infamous “straightjacket” Duffy's ad that sparked protests, and how ads for Macy's I.N.C. brand and Meijer's private label spinach redefined how retailers communicate value. He also weighs in on recent campaigns — like Levi's x Beyoncé and of course, Sydney Sweeney x American Eagle — that signal a welcome return to upper-funnel brand storytelling.Key Takeaways:Why conceptual advertising still matters in today's performance-driven landscape;How controversy can serve a campaign — when it's rooted in truth; andThe importance of balancing top-of-funnel branding with down-funnel ROI.Related LinksExplore DeVito/Verdi Advertising's creative work and legacyWatch the Macy's I.N.C. ad featuring Heidi KlumWatch the Meijer spinach adRelated reading: The Top 10 Best-Performing Retail Ads from the First Half of 2025Catch up on all episodes of Retail RemixGet more insights from retail industry leaders on Retail TouchPoints -----How to Win Customers Across Every ChannelThis guide from BigCommerce brings you expert insights on data, branding, and marketing to help you grow sales across every major channel.

Prioritising health when selecting materials and products is simply common sense, and the best thing about healthy materials – they are also brilliant for the environment. In today's episode we move on to our next sustainable design theme – healthy buildings.We'll investigate the design of a house on an off grid site located in Mullumbimby in the Subtropical northern New South Wales hinterland. I talk with architect, Michael Leung, the director of Balanced Earth Architects, who will share the inside story on his Sky Farm project. Today we'll learn about:The key design considerations, materials and products for a healthy home,We talk further about the process, costs and benefits of using hempcrete in custom architectural construction, andWe'll also cover a wealth of other insights and practical information drawn from Michael's extensive experience as both an architect and a builder.Australian Architects can claim formal CPD hours for these podcasts.

KEY POINTS SUMMARY1. Healthy building is about interrogating the detail of materials. Often that's not presented on websites and you have to dig deeper into the Material Safety Data sheets.After extensive research, Balanced Earth Architects now work with a simple palate of materials and the basics include: hempcrete, recycled timber and other materials from demolition, galvanised steel, timber windows, and natural finishes including clay and lime renders. 2. A hempcrete and lime rendered wall composition prevents mould growth. Hempcrete is vapour permeable, allowing moisture to travel from the inside to outside. In addition, lime render has an alkali surface preventing mould growth. 3. A hempcrete wall is set up as follows: It can be constructed on a timber framed or concrete floor.In timber framed construction, the joists or bearers may be doubled up to carry more load when the hemp is wet. Then a 10 or 20mm compressed FC board is fixed on top as a base for the hempcrete.To build the wall, a timber stud frame is setout 80mm in from the external wall line. The 90x45 stud sits centrally in the 250mm hempcrete wall, allowing 80mm of cover on both inside and outside.The entire house is constructed with standard timber stud frame construction. All timber can be untreated pine because the lime in the hempcrete protects the timber, andThe services are clipped into the stud wall, and...

Great question — the 10-year U.S. Treasury Note (T-Note) is one of the most important benchmarks in finance, and it's tightly linked to interest rates. Here's a breakdown of how it works and why it matters:1. What the 10-Year Treasury IsIt's a bond issued by the U.S. government with a maturity of 10 years.Investors buy it, loaning money to the government in exchange for:Semiannual coupon payments (interest), andThe face value back at maturity.Because it's backed by the U.S. government, it's considered one of the safest investments in the world.2. Yield vs. PriceThe yield is the effective return investors earn on the bond.The yield moves inversely with the bond's price:If demand is high and price goes up → yield goes down.If demand falls and price goes down → yield goes up.3. Connection to Interest RatesThe 10-year Treasury yield reflects investor expectations about:Future Federal Reserve policy (Fed funds rate).Inflation (higher inflation expectations push yields higher).Economic growth (slower growth often pushes yields lower).While the Fed directly controls only the short-term Fed funds rate, the 10-year yield is market-driven and often moves in anticipation of where the Fed will go.4. Why It's So ImportantMortgage rates & lending costs: 30-year mortgage rates generally move in step with the 10-year yield (plus a spread). If the 10-year goes up, mortgage rates usually rise.Benchmark for global finance: Companies, governments, and banks often price loans and bonds based on the 10-year yield.Risk sentiment: Investors flock to Treasuries in times of uncertainty, driving yields down (“flight to safety”).5. Practical ExampleSuppose the Fed raises short-term rates to fight inflation.Investors expect tighter policy and possibly lower inflation later.If they believe inflation will fall, demand for 10-years might rise → yields drop.But if they fear inflation will stay high, demand falls → yields rise.Mortgage rates, business loans, and even stock valuations all adjust accordingly.✅ In short: The 10-year Treasury is the bridge between Fed policy and real-world borrowing costs. It signals market expectations for growth, inflation, and Fed moves, making it a crucial guide for interest rates across the economy.tune in and learn https://www.ddamortgage.com/blogDidier Malagies nmls212566DDA Mortgage nmls324329 Support the show

Todaywe're continuing in Ephesians 1:15-18. Paul desired the Ephesian Christians tounderstand what great wealth they had in Christ. Paul knew of their faith andlove, and in this he rejoiced. The Christian life has two dimensions: faithtoward God and love toward men, and you cannot separate the two. Now theChristian life always begins with faith. Salvation is experienced by faith inthe Lord Jesus Christ (Romans 10:8-13; Ephesians 2:8-9). But then the realproof of our faith is our love toward other believers and toward the people inthe world around us. We are to love them as Christ loved them. He loved them somuch that while they were yet sinners, He died for them on a cross. We are tolove others even as we want others to love us. TheScripture teaches us that when we walk with God, live in His Word, when we arefill with His Word, that we will be like a tree planted by the rivers ofwaters, bringing forth fruit in its season. Our leaves will not wither, andwhatsoever we do will prosper (Psalms 1:2-3). Now, when you have the Word ofGod, abiding in your heart, living by the river of waters, the water of God's Word,and filling your life with it, your root of your faith will go down deep intothe heart of God. Then my friend, you will be like a tree that is glorious, alife that reflects and shines forth the fruit of the love of God. Yes,faith is the root and love is the fruit. Don't ever forget that faith is theroot of our Christian life and love is the fruit of our Christian life, andalso the outward evidence that we truly have been born again. But Paul knewthat faith and love were just the beginning. The Ephesians needed to know muchmore. This is why he prayed for them, and for us. Inthe four prison prayers of Paul found in Ephesians 1:15-23; 3:14-21; Philippians1:9-11; and Colossians 1:9-12, we discover the blessings he wanted his convertsto enjoy. In none of these prayers does Paul request material things. Hisemphasis is on spiritual perception and real Christian character. He does notask God to give them what they do not have, but rather prays that God willreveal to them what they already have. Beforewe study Paul's four requests in this "prayer for enlightenment"in Ephesians 1, we must notice two facts. First, enlightenment comes from theHoly Spirit. He is the "Spirit of wisdom and revelation" (Isaiah11:2; John 14:25-26; 16:12-14). With his natural mind, man cannot understandthe things of God. He needs the Spirit to enlighten him (1 Corinthians 2:9-16).The Holy Spirit reveals truth to us from the Word, and then gives us the wisdomto understand and apply it. He also gives us the power—the enablement—topractice the truth (Ephesians 3:14-21). Second,this enlightenment comes to the heart of the believer (Ephesians 1:18).Literally this verse reads, "The eyes of your heart beingenlightened." We think of the heart as the emotional part of man, butin the Bible, the heart means the inner man, and includes the emotions, themind, and the will. The inner man, the heart, has spiritual faculties thatparallel the physical senses. Theinner man can see (Ps. 119:18; John 3:3).Theinner man can hear (Matt. 13:9; Heb. 5:11).Theinner man can taste (Ps. 34:8; 1 Peter 2:3).Theinner man can smell (Phil. 4:18; 2 Cor. 2:14)Andthe inner man can touch (Acts 17:27). Thisis what Jesus meant when He said of the people: "They seeing see not, andhearing they hear not" (Matt. 13:13). The inability to see and understandspiritual things is not the fault of the intelligence but of the heart. Theeyes of the heart must be opened by the Spirit of God. Thisis why Paul prayed this prayer for the believers at Ephesus. This is a wonderfulprayer that we can also pray for family and friends on regular basis! May God'sHoly Spirit open the eyes of our heart today! Godbless!
Story of the Week (DR):End of summer anti-woke bro rage brigade MMNew Cracker Barrel Logo Sparks Right-Wing Backlash—From Trump Jr. And MoreMAGA erupts over Cracker Barrel logo change, and stock plungesRight-Winger, Others Call Out 'Woke' New Change To Cracker Barrel's Peg GameThe goal of the game is to whittle down the number of pegs on the board to one through a series of “jumping” pegs, not unlike checkers. Previously, directions on the game explained that people who have only one peg left on the board are geniuses, while people with two pegs left are “pretty smart.” However, if you leave three pegs, the game considers you “dumb,” while anyone who leaves four pegs is an “EG-NO-RA-MOOOSE.”That was the old game. New peg games have removed the playful insults and instead say, “leave three or more ― no reason to be embarrassed. Try again.”Sean Davis, the CEO of The Federalist: Cracker Barrel didn't just destroy its logo and restaurant vibe. It also changed the peg game to make dumb people feel better when they do poorly.Until October 2017, The Federalist had a "black crime" tag, which aggregated articles related to criminal activity by African AmericansChristian College's Hot Take On Cracker Barrel Has People Saying, ‘Huh?'Hillsdale College in Michigan: A post on its official account on X (formerly Twitter) likened the updated logo to a vandalized statue of President George Washington that was defaced during the 2020 protests over the police killing of George Floyd.MAGA Rep Drags Jesus Christ Into ‘Woke' Cracker Barrel MeltdownCongressman Byron Donalds slammed the restaurant chain for daring to rebrand after he had a religious experience in one of its Florida parking lots: “In college, I worked at @CrackerBarrel in Tallahassee,” the Florida Republican wrote on X, “I even gave my life to Christ in their parking lot. Their logo was iconic and their unique restaurants were a fixture of American culture. No one asked for this woke rebrand.”‘Cracker barrel goes woke': CEO under MAGA fire for changing logo first time in 48 years, removes ‘white guy'Steak 'n Shake slams Cracker Barrel CEO for eliminating 'old-timer' from logo: 'We take pride in our history'“This is what happens when you have a board that does not respect their historical customers or their brand.At Steak n Shake, we have gone back to basics.

Biglari was born in Iran in 1977However the chain ran into more problems in 2016 and onward, with revenue declining sharply.In 2021, Steak N' Shake made a strategic decision to transition away from casual dining and become a fast food restaurant. Steak 'n Shake replaced lunch counters with self-serve kiosks in 2021 to improve efficiency and reduce costs. Changing the service model allowed a significant reduction of store staffIn 2024, Biglari fought and lost a proxy contest with Cracker Barrel, trying to get himself and two buddies on the CB board.This marks the sixth time since 2011 that Biglari has initiated a proxy contest seeking seats on the Board (the fourth time for Sardar Biglari personally), and the seventh contested solicitation overall during that span.POP QUIZ:Was that the original logo?No. The Cracker Barrel chain opened first in 1969 and had a text-only logo. In 1977, the famous logo with a man and a barrel was introduced.Is Cracker Barrel's new-ish CEO (11/23) a man or a woman?Cracker Barrel CEO Julie Felss Masino and the new logo controversyMs. Masino previously served as the President, International of Taco Bell, a subsidiary of Yum! Brands, Inc. (NYSE: YUM) from January 2020 to June 2023. From January 2018 to December 2019, she served as President, North America of Taco Bell.“Cracker Barrel's new logo isn't an accident — it's CEO Julie Felss Masino's project. She scrapped a beloved American aesthetic and replaced it with sterile, soulless branding.”Benny Johnson said the logo change could cause the company to collapse in a similar way that Target and other stores that embraced DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion) did.‘Go woke, you go broke:' Ohio faith leaders urge Kroger to abandon LGBTQ+ policiesTrump calls on Federal Reserve Governor Lisa Cook to resignLisa DeNell Cook is an American economist who has served as a member of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors since May 23, 2022.

Welcome to Mysteries to Die For.I am TG Wolff and am here with Jack, my piano player and producer. This is a podcast where we combine storytelling with original music to put you in the heart of a mystery. All stories are structured to challenge you to beat the detective to the solution. Jack and I perform these live, front to back, no breaks, no fakes, no retakes.The rules for law and order create the boundaries for civil co-existence and, ideally, the backdrops for individuals, families, and companies to grow and thrive. Breaking these rules puts civil order at risk. And while murder is the Big Daddy of crimes, codified ordinances across municipal divisions, counties, states, and countries show the nearly endless ways there are to create mayhem. This season, we put our detective skills to the test. This is Season 8, Anything but Murder. This is Episode 16, house arson is the featured crime. This is First Reports are Rarely Right by Larry M. KeetonDELIBERATIONDrake has a hot one on his hands and needs our help to put the pieces together on this arson case. (Then maybe Cassandra will keep hiring him.) Here are the people on his suspect list in the order we met them:Jack Phillips, owner of the house and disgruntled claimantCommissioner Donna Russell, the Hummer-driving road hogTeresa Kamps, HOA president who lives across from PhillipsRachel Quinn, the Fire Marshall recently promoted to Code ComplianceHere are the facts as Drake has unearthed them:Jack Phillips inherited his parents' home after their too early death. He blames HOA president Teresa Kamps for it. In retaliation, he's let the home run down, just to be an eye sore;On his visit to Phillips, who owns a 30-acre property, Drake was run off the road by a Hummer with a re-election sign on the door for Donna Russell;While interviewing Phillips, Drake sees a collection of pagers that Phillips says he uses to track delivery of restored cars to international buyers;The first report found cause of the house fire to be errant fireworks. Drake and Cassandra found inconsistencies between the original photos and what Drake finds on scene; Under protective sheets are untouched boxes and furniture Phillips is listing in his insurance claim;Phillips states recent maintenance was limited to spraying the roof to protect against moss. It was determined that zinc was used, which is highly flammable;HOA president Teresa Kamps had a 4th of July party that included Donna Russell. She denies setting fire to the house. She admits flying her drone but says she does not spy. There are opinions to the contrary.While Drake is inspecting, a second fire ignites from the baseboard heaters. Inspection after the fact uncovered batteries and melted plastic boxes and pager components in the heaters;Rachel Quinn was the original Fire Marshal on the case. She was also the woman on Phillips computer background. She was recently promoted to Code Compliance and her first action is to use a newly passed code to tear down the twice-burned house;Phillips and the county just negotiated the sale of the 30-acre property for $1.3 million dollars;Jack Phillips just wants what the insurance company owes him;Donna Russell is behind on her re-election bid and wants the HOA for their votes;Teresa Kamps wants the eye-sore gone from across the street;Rachel Quinn wants the promotion and to get Commissioner Russell off her back; andThe county Fire Marshal noted arson is the least prosecuted crimes and it was difficult to determine who had the most to gain.How should Drake re-write the report to get it right the second time?ABOUT True Crim House ArsonFrom my favorite source Wikipedia, comes the curated story of Thomas Sweatt.

A house was picked up by a twister, flipped on its side and then dropped back down. But what's truly shocking is that there was a woman inside with her cat...and she was doing somersaults as her house spun in the wind. Steven Fabian spoke with the still shaken woman and her very relieved daughter. Andthe intense heat hitting a lot of the country has also led to intense lightning storms. Yesterday, we spoke with three friends who were struck by lightning on a Florida beach....now we're learning of a groom who was on his honeymoon when he was struck by lightning while standing in ankle deep water, as Ann Mercogliano reports, he didn't survive. Plus, the Trump administration continues to stand by their account of the airstrikes in Iran, saying the targeted nuclear sites were obliterated...sharing test run video of just how powerful a bunker buster bomb is. A top military official says the successful mission felt like winning the Super Bowl. And Brad Pitt's Los Angeles home was ransacked last night with three suspects climbing over a fence and breaking into a front window at around 10:30pm. Not clear what the thieves got away with . Pitt was not home at the time, he's in Japan promoting his new movie F1 set in the world of formula one racing.

User-generated content (UGC) has become central to brands' marketing and customer experience strategies over the past decade. But as social channels and trends have evolved, so too have brands' methods for collecting, amplifying and monetizing their UGC. In August 2024, the FTC issued a formal ban on fake reviews and testimonials — an effort designed to prevent businesses from purchasing and “growth hacking” inaccurate, malicious or misleading content. During this episode of Retail Remix, Bazaarvoice CMO Zarina Stanford digs into: Why new policies were needed as the social media landscape evolved and expanded; How some businesses monetized, even weaponized, UGC for their own gain, and what the new ruling means for this gray area of the web; What brands can do to comply with new guidelines, and how they need to adapt their UGC strategies moving forward; andThe unknown ways brands could be misleading consumers with UGC, and what they can do to course correct.

Just as big pharma has recently discovered a simple mechanism to reverse weight gain and obesity, it is highly likely that soon, we will discover something equally simple that triggers the onset of aging, postulates Joel Geiderman, a distinguished physician and professor at Cedars-Sinai and the David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA who is considered one of the pioneers of emergency medicine. It could be as simple as a protein we can block. And with AI speeding up research, Geiderman firmly believes the day we “cure” aging is not far off. This entirely plausible concept is the basis for his novel, The Plasma Cell Report. But then what? Geiderman cautions that so much could go wrong, and that society and our planet are simply not ready for nature's course to change. He'd be happy to chat with you about this. Among the concerns he points to are:An ever-expanding population that will skew increasingly toward older people and could ostensibly double in number every twenty years.Uncertainty around whether Earth really has the natural resources - from energy to water and food - to support this ongoing population growth.Doubt about how to meet the increased need for infrastructure -- everything from transportation and housing to education and healthcare facilities.Questions over social issues such as entitlements such as social security and how to finance them as the number of retired people grows as a share of the population.Matters of equity: who would have access to the new treatments? What about those left behind?Moral issues such as: would we be interfering with a divine plan? Doesn't nature know best? And in times like these, we must also consider:The risk of older generations maintaining a grip on top leadership positions to the detriment of change and renewal; andThe potential dangers of lifetime terms for people in public office (e.g., the Supreme Court). As the father of the atomic bomb Robert Oppenheimer said, “The deep things in science are not found because they are useful; they are found because it is possible to find them.” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/late-night-health-radio--2804369/support.
