Brian Lilley, columnist with the Toronto Sun, joins Stephen LeDrew to discuss Mark Carney's secretive approach to government, including international agreements,the China Agreement, the Gordie Howe deal, and why Canadians are still giving the Prime Minister the benefit of the doubt. In this episode, Lilley argues that all politicians prefer secrecy, but that Carney has taken it further by keeping major agreements and government decisions away from public scrutiny. LeDrew and Lilley also discuss Carney's confidence, arrogance, judgment, and whether his popularity with Canadians is beginning to fade. They also look at Pierre Poilievre's struggles, Conservative infighting, Donald Trump's role in Canadian politics, and why Carney continues to benefit from the “elbows up” effect. This is a sharp conversation about secrecy, transparency, political judgment, and whether Canadians will eventually turn on Mark Carney's government. Topics covered in this episode:Carney's secretive approach to governmentChina agreements and unanswered questionsThe Gordie Howe bridge deal controversyTransparency versus political controlCarney's confidence, arrogance and judgmentWhy Canadians still trust CarneyThe long political honeymoonPoilievre and Conservative infightingTrump as Carney's political shieldWhen voters may turn on the government Hosted on Acast.

This week, we are starting a brand new series called The Core Four. If you call yourself a follower of Jesus, this series is for you regardless of age, stage, or person. In Galatians 4:19, Paul said that he was going to continue to minister to the Galatian church until Christ is fully formed in them, so the goal of every believer should be to have Christ fully formed within them. There are probably a thousand things you could say about the character and nature of someone who follows Jesus. In this series, we’re going to talk about four core values that may be the most important — so much so that we’re going to change our core values at Covenant Life Church. The first of these four core values (and the title of this week’s message) is Humility.

SEC Media Days Greg Sankey comments Sports Roulette Final thoughts

We like to believe humans are special, separate, and sitting at the top of some invisible hierarchy of life. But what if that story is not only wrong, it's actively harming our science, our relationships, and the way we move through the world? In this episode of Wild Connection, I'm joined by primatologist and author Dr. Christine Webb to talk about her new book, An Arrogant Ape.  Christine grew up befriending the animals in her backyard, then found evolutionary biology and Darwin, which gave her a new perspective to that childhood sense of kinship with other animals. From there, she went on to study primates and teach a popular Harvard course also called “The Arrogant Ape,” focused on what truly makes us human and how we've built a culture around our supposed uniqueness. Together, we talk about human exceptionalism: how the idea that humans are above and apart from “animals” is threaded through our language, our textbooks, our politics, our food systems, our religious stories, and even the way we design scientific studies.  We discuss why it became taboo in Western science to discuss animal emotions and minds, how behaviorism and the “black box” view of the mind sidelined rich subjective experiences, and why Darwin's own belief in animal minds was gradually pushed out of mainstream discourse.

Learning to Praise from the Psalms. 07/19/26 Psalm 86 NIV A prayer of David. Hear me, Lord, and answer me, for I am poor and needy. Guard my life, for I am faithful to you; save your servant who trusts in you. You are my God; have mercy on me, Lord, for I call to you all day long. Bring joy to your servant, Lord, for I put my trust in you. You, Lord, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you. Hear my prayer, Lord; listen to my cry for mercy. When I am in distress, I call to you, because you answer me. Among the gods there is none like you, Lord; no deeds can compare with yours. All the nations you have made will come and worship before you, Lord; they will bring glory to your name. For you are great and do marvelous deeds; you alone are God. Teach me your way, Lord, that I may rely on your faithfulness; give me an undivided heart, that I may fear your name. I will praise you, Lord my God, with all my heart; I will glorify your name forever. For great is your love toward me; you have delivered me from the depths, from the realm of the dead. Arrogant foes are attacking me, O God; ruthless people are trying to kill me— they have no regard for you. But you, Lord, are a compassionate and gracious God, slow to anger, abounding in love and faithfulness. Turn to me and have mercy on me; show your strength in behalf of your servant; save me, because I serve you just as my mother did. Give me a sign of your goodness, that my enemies may see it and be put to shame, for you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me. Psalm 150 NIV Praise the Lord. Praise God in his sanctuary; praise him in his mighty heavens. Praise him for his acts of power; praise him for his surpassing greatness. Praise him with the sounding of the trumpet, praise him with the harp and lyre, praise him with timbrel and dancing, praise him with the strings and pipe, praise him with the clash of cymbals, praise him with resounding cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Psalm 23 NIV A psalm of David. The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name's sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows. Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

Adrian Wooldridge analyzes the populist revolt against meritocracy, seen in Brexit and the election of Donald Trump. Populists argue that "experts" lack common sense and have become an arrogant, self-satisfied elite. Critics like Christopher Lasch contend that this elite has betrayed democracy by turning against traditional values. A "degenerate version" of meritocracy has emerged through assortative mating, where the cognitive elite marry each other and heavily invest in their children. This creates a "bureaucratic elite" with a meritocratic veneer, reducing social mobility and turning merit into a self-sustaining hereditary status. 71808 BANK OF ENGLAND

Why do other people's lives always seem better?In this teaching on Psalm 73, John Ortberg explores envy, comparison, resentment, worship, and the deep human struggle of feeling overlooked while others seem to prosper.The psalmist honestly confesses:“I envied the arrogant.”What follows is one of the most emotionally honest prayers in the Psalms — a prayer about jealousy, discouragement, unfairness, and the exhausting habit of comparing our lives to everyone else around us.This episode explores:- Why comparison distorts reality- Social media, envy, and modern dissatisfaction- Worship as perspective restoration- The turning point of Psalm 73- Why gratitude disappears when envy grows- “It is good to be near God”This teaching is deeply practical, psychologically insightful, and spiritually grounding.Scriptures:- Psalm 73#Psalm73 #JohnOrtberg #Prayer #Worship #Envy #Comparison #SpiritualFormation #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Psalms

In this episode, Jason tackles the damaging impact of arrogant and cocky project managers (PMs) on construction projects. He shares an insightful story of a PM who, through their negative mindset and behavior, created more problems than solutions. Instead of being a supportive enabler for the team, this PM became a bottleneck that led to delays, bullying, and unnecessary roadblocks. Jason makes the case that a PM's job is to clear the path, pay trades on time, handle contracts, and create a culture of collaboration, not to enforce ego-driven control. He also argues that arrogant PMs not only harm relationships with trades but damage the project as a whole, making life difficult for everyone involved. What you'll learn in this episode; Why a project manager's arrogance can be a major project liability. The importance of humility and leadership in a PM's role. How cocky behavior can lead to unnecessary delays and roadblocks. Why a project manager should act as an enabler, not a dictator. The responsibility of PMs in managing contracts and paying trades on time. How toxic PM leadership hurts the owner's reputation and project outcome. PMs who are driven by ego and arrogance are a major hindrance to any project, they must shift from being a boss to a servant leader.

This week's dare is inspired by my incredible previous guest, Abbi Pulling from the F1 Academy. In our conversation, Abbi said something that stopped me in my tracks:“My goal this year is to be more arrogant.”In this mini episode, we unpack what that really means – and no, it's not about being rude, entitled, or steamrolling people. It's about backing yourself out loud.In this episode, I talk about:Reframing “arrogance”Why we need to redefine arrogance as unapologetically backing your skills, ideas, and decisions – especially for women who are often overqualified and under-assertive.Self-efficacy and the psychology of confidenceHow your belief that you can handle a task (self-efficacy) affects whether you speak up, try, and bounce back – and how behavior can actually create confidence.The 10% rule: your dare for the next 7 daysOne simple challenge: choose a situation where you'd usually shrink, and act 10% more “arrogant” instead. Not 200% – just 10%.Examples might be:Speaking up in a meeting instead of staying quietCorrecting mis-credit and saying, “Actually, I led that project”Naming your real rates or boundaries without apologisingStretching your comfort zone (without tipping into panic)Why feeling uncomfortable doesn't mean you're doing it wrong – it usually just means you're stepping outside your old script and letting your nervous system recalibrate.Reflection prompts to journal on:Where in my life am I most underestimating myself?What am I quietly excellent at that nobody sees because I keep hiding it?If I was 10% more arrogant this week, what would I do differently?This week's dareFor the next 7 days:

Welcome to Day 2828 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2828 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 119:65-72 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2828 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2828 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Wisdom-Trek: The Teth of Transformation – The Goodness of the Refiner's Fire In our previous episode on this grand expedition, we navigated the eighth stanza of Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, the "Heth" section. We stood at a crucial boundary line, and we watched the psalmist make a definitive, cosmic choice. He looked at the vast array of options in this world, and he boldly declared to the Creator, "Lord, you are mine!" We learned what it means to claim Yahweh as our ultimate portion, to actively repent when our feet drift into the snares of the wicked, and to find the courage to rise at midnight, turning our darkest anxieties into a sanctuary of thanksgiving. We established our boundaries, and we chose to dwell securely within the inheritance of the Most High God. Today, we take our next deliberate step upward, climbing into the ninth stanza of this magnificent, alphabetical mountain. We are stepping into the "Teth" section, covering Psalm One Hundred Nineteen, verses sixty-five through seventy-two, in the New Living Translation. In the Hebrew alphabet, the letter "Teth" is deeply associated with the concept of goodness. In fact, the Hebrew word for good, tov, begins with this very letter. In the original text of this specific stanza, almost every single verse begins with the word tov, or a variation of it. But the goodness described here is not the superficial, comfortable, pain-free goodness that our modern culture idolizes. This is a gritty, paradoxical, and deeply transformative goodness. The psalmist is going to teach us how to look backward at our past mistakes, our painful discipline, and the attacks of our enemies, and recognize that the Creator was actively using all of it to forge our character. Let us step onto the trail, and learn the profound value of the refiner's fire. Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses sixty-five and sixty-six. You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised. I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge. The stanza opens with a sweeping, retrospective declaration of praise. "You have done many good things for me, Lord, just as you promised." The psalmist takes a moment to look over his shoulder, surveying the long, winding trail of his life. He sees the narrow escapes, the midnight rescues, and the gracious provision of Yahweh. He recognizes that God has never once broken character. The Creator has acted with absolute fidelity to His covenant. God has been good, and He has been faithful to His word. Because he has this historical track record of God's goodness, the psalmist leans forward into his next request: "I believe in your commands; now teach me good judgment and knowledge." Notice the beautiful progression here. Belief comes first, followed by a plea for discernment. The Hebrew word translated as "good judgment" is ta'am, which literally means "taste." It is the ability to savor, to distinguish flavors, and to recognize what is genuinely nutritious, versus what is toxic. In a world governed by deceptive, rebel spiritual principalities, our moral taste buds are often corrupted. The surrounding pagan culture offers a smorgasbord of philosophies, idols, and lifestyle choices that look appealing, but are spiritually poisonous. The psalmist is asking Yahweh to recalibrate his spiritual palate. He is essentially praying, "Lord, I trust Your cosmic blueprint. Now, please, give me the discernment to taste the difference between the bitter lies of the enemy, and the sweet truth of Your instructions. Help me to instinctively know what is truly good." Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses sixty-seven and sixty-eight. I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word. You are good and do only good; teach me your decrees. Having asked for good judgment, the psalmist makes a stunning, vulnerable confession about how his spiritual palate was actually reformed. He says, "I used to wander off until you disciplined me; but now I closely follow your word." Other translations render this, "Before I was afflicted, I went astray." This requires profound humility to admit. Before the pain arrived, before the hardship disrupted his life, he was wandering. He was drifting away from the safety of the Torah, casually stepping off the path, and moving toward the dangerous territory of the rebel gods. But God, in His infinite Hesed—His unfailing, loyal love—did not let him wander into oblivion. God intervened with discipline. God allowed affliction to strike. To the modern mind, affliction and goodness seem like total opposites. We think that if God is good, He will shield us from all pain. But the ancient, biblical mind understood that a loving Father will use the sharp sting of the shepherd's crook to pull a wandering sheep back from the edge of a deadly cliff. The pain of the discipline was the exact mechanism that cured his wandering. The affliction woke him up, snapped his attention back to reality, and tethered his heart to the Word of God. "But now," he says with absolute conviction, "I closely follow your word." Because he understands the life-saving purpose of the pain, he can look directly at the God who disciplined him, and declare in verse sixty-eight: "You are good and do only good; teach me your decrees." He does not view Yahweh as an angry, vindictive tyrant. He recognizes that the discipline itself was an act of profound, protective goodness. God is tov, and everything He does, even when it hurts, is tov. Therefore, the psalmist submits himself entirely to the Divine Teacher. If the discipline was this beneficial, how much more beneficial will the direct, daily instruction of His decrees be? Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses sixty-nine and seventy Arrogant people smear me with lies, but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart. Their hearts are dull and heavy, but I delight in your instructions. While the psalmist embraces the discipline of God, he is simultaneously facing the malicious attacks of earthly enemies. "Arrogant people smear me with lies." Literally, the Hebrew text says, "The proud have forged a lie against me," or, "they have plastered me with falsehood." In the Divine Council worldview, we recognize that lying is the native tongue of the adversary. The rebel spirits operate through deception, and they use arrogant, human proxies to carry out their campaigns of disinformation. These proud individuals despise the psalmist's loyalty to Yahweh, so they attempt to ruin his reputation, smearing his character with fabricated scandals. They want to bury him under a mountain of mud. But how does the psalmist respond to this vicious smear campaign? He does not launch a counter-attack. He does not hire a public relations firm, or stoop to their level of deceit. He simply strengthens his internal resolve: "...but in truth I obey your commandments with all my heart." He lets his consistent, unshakeable integrity be his ultimate defense. When you are plastered with lies, the only way to wash off the mud is to stand firmly in the cleansing rain of God's truth. He then provides a terrifying spiritual diagnosis of his attackers. "Their hearts are dull and heavy, but I delight in your instructions." The literal translation is incredibly graphic: "Their heart is as fat as grease." In the ancient world, a "fat heart" did not mean a loving or generous heart. It meant a heart that was covered in callouses, insensitive, numb, and entirely unresponsive. These arrogant mockers have engaged in so much deception, and have chased after the dark, material idols of the culture for so long, that their spiritual arteries are completely clogged. They cannot feel the conviction of the Holy Spirit. They are spiritually brain-dead. In sharp, beautiful contrast, the psalmist declares, "but I delight in your instructions." While their hearts are weighed down by the heavy grease of their own arrogance, his heart is light, joyful, and fully alive, dancing to the rhythm of the Creator's cosmic blueprint. Psalm One Hundred Nineteen: verses seventy-one and seventy-two My suffering was good for me, for it taught me to pay attention to your decrees. Your instructions are more valuable to me than millions in gold and silver. As the stanza concludes, the psalmist brings the theme of "goodness" full circle. He makes a statement that is completely illogical to the natural,...

Welcome to the Grace in Focus podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Ken Yates are answering a question about the early church fathers. How much should we respect or regard their […] The post Are We Arrogant to Reject the Teachings of the Early Church Fathers? appeared first on Grace Evangelical Society.

The House Oversight Committee has boldly released full video footage of Bill and Hillary Clinton's depositions on their ties to Jeffrey Epstein, finally bringing transparency to the American people about the elite's connections to this monster. Bill dodges tough questions with convenient memory lapses, while Hillary grows visibly upset and snaps during pointed grilling by Rep. Nancy Mace (R-S.C.), exposing her arrogance and defensiveness when confronted with uncomfortable facts. The Clintons' evasive answers and heated outbursts only confirm their long history of putting personal power above accountability and justice for victims. Kudos to the committee for cutting through the swamp and getting these damning truths out — America deserves to see the real Clintons unfiltered. We also cover: Marco Rubio on imminent threat.

Recently I shared a story online about a flight delayed because of the arrogance of one person. Thousands of people liked the post. Hundreds more commented. And the vast majority agreed that the man in first class was profoundly arrogant. Here's what I learned after that post went live:  It turns out, I was the arrogant one. Let me explain.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. www.InsightGlobal.com/LearningLeader My guest: Brad Stulberg is a bestselling author and leading expert on sustainable performance and well-being. He's written for The New York Times, Outside Magazine, and The Atlantic, and his previous books include Peak Performance and The Practice of Groundedness. His latest book, The Way of Excellence, is great. Brad's writing combines cutting-edge science, ancient wisdom, and stories from world-class performers to help people do their best work without losing themselves in the process. Notes: Never pre-judge a performance. When you're feeling tired, uninspired, or off your game, show up anyway. Remember the Beatles scene—they looked bored and exhausted, but Paul still wrote "Get Back" that day. You don't know what's possible until you get going. Discipline means doing what needs to be done regardless of how you feel. As powerlifter Layne Norton says, we don't need to feel good to get going... We need to get going to give ourselves a chance to feel good. Stop waiting for motivation. Start moving and let the feeling follow. Audit who you're surrounding yourself with. The Air Force study is striking: the least fit person in your squadron determines everyone else's fitness level. If you sit within 25 feet of a high performer at work, your performance improves 15%. Within 25 feet of a low performer? It declines 30%. Your environment isn't neutral... Choose wisely. Treat curiosity like a muscle. It's a reward-based behavior that gets stronger with use. When Kobe said he played "to figure things out," he was tapping into the neural circuitry that makes learning feel good and builds upon itself. Ask more questions. Stay curious about your craft. Excellence isn't about perfection or optimization... It's about mastery and mattering. It's about showing up consistently, surrounding yourself wisely, and staying curious along the way. To the late Robert Pirsig - one of the greatest blessings and joys and sources of satisfaction in my life is to be in conversation with your work. He's the author of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance— "gumption is the psychic gasoline that keeps the whole thing going." Arrogant people are loud. Confident people are quiet. Confidence requires evidence. The neural circuitry associated with curiosity is like a muscle: it gets stronger with use. Curiosity is what neuroscientists call a reward-based behavior. It feels good, motivates us to keep going, and builds upon itself. Kobe didn't play to win. He played to learn and grow. Kobe Bryant said he didn't play not to lose, and he didn't even play to win. He played to learn and to grow. He said the reason he did that is because it's so much more freeing. If you're really trying not to lose, you're going to be tight. If you're really trying to win, you're going to be tight. But if you're just out there to grow, you're going to be in the moment. When you're in the moment, you give yourself the best chance of having the performance you want. The word compete comes from the Latin root word com, which means together, and petere, which means to seek, rise up, or strive. In its most genuine form, competition is about rising together (Caitlin Clark's story against LSU). Love: The Detroit Lions had just won their first playoff game in 32 years. Following the game was a scene of pure jubilation. During a short break from the celebrating, the head coach, GM, and quarterback all gave brief speeches. Which collectively lasted about 2 minutes. During those 2 minutes, the word LOVE was repeated 7 times. Homeostatic regulation -- Sense it in the greatness of others and when you're at your best. What Brad calls "excellence." Surround yourself with people who have high standards. When things don't go your way, when you're inevitably heartbroken or frustrated, it's the people around you, the books you read, the art around you, the music you listen to, that's the stuff that speaks to you and keeps you going. It keeps you on the path even amidst the heartbreak. Process goals work better than outcome goals for most people. If you're an amateur, you should be process-focused. When I train for powerlifting, I don't think about the meet that I'm training for. I think about showing up for the session today. If I think about the meeting, I get anxious, and my performance goes down. But if you're Steph Curry and you've been doing your thing for 20 years, you can think about winning the gold medal because your process is so automatic. For 99% of people, focus on the process. "Brave New World" turns fear into curiosity. When you walk up to a bar loaded with more weight than you've ever touched, there can be fear about what it's going to feel like. If you go up to the bar with fear, you're going to miss the lift. If you're convinced you're going to make it, you'll make it, but your nervous system knows when you're lying to yourself. The middle ground is curiosity. Instead of saying "that's heavy, it's scary," I say "Brave New World. I've never touched this weight before. I have no idea what's going to happen, but let's find out." It splits the difference. I'm hyped, I'm giving myself a chance, I'm not lying to myself, but I'm also not scared. Curiosity and fear cannot exist at the same time in the brain. There are seven pathways in the brain defined by affective neuroscientist Jaak Panksepp. Two of those pathways are the rage/fear pathway and the seeking/curiosity pathway. These pathways cannot be turned on at the same time. They compete for resources. It's a zero sum game. You cannot simultaneously be raging and curious. You cannot be terrified and curious at the same time. If you get into a mindset of curiosity, it's extremely hard to be angry or terrified. By being curious, we turn off the fear deep in our brains and give ourselves a chance to perform our best. Practice curiosity in lower-consequence situations first. Curiosity is like a muscle. If you're about to do something absolutely terrifying and you're really scared and you say, "I'm just going to be curious," you know you're lying to yourself. You have to practice in lower-consequence situations first. When you, as a paren,t get really upset with your kid, try to be curious about their experience. Watch your anger calm down. When you as a leader, have a board presentation where you're feeling anxious, try to have that mindset of "Brave New World." When you're an athlete going into a big game obsessing about what could go wrong, try to be really curious instead. The best competitors have emotional flexibility. As a competitor, you would know that in the confines of the game, you're not singing Kumbaya, you are trying to kill them. Then you have the emotional flexibility the minute that game ends to respect them as a person. That is the best way to compete. That's when our best performances happen. It's not either/or, it's both/and. It's playing really hard, giving everything you can for the win, seizing on your opponent's vulnerability, at the same time as having deep respect for them. You don't have to be miserable to be excellent. There are people like David Goggins or Michael Jordan who seem motivated by anger and a chip on their shoulder. But Jordan would put his tongue out like this primal expression of joy when he was about to dunk. And Jordan won all his championships while being coached by Phil Jackson, the Zen master of compassion. There are the Steph Currys of the world, or Courtney Dauwalter (best ultra marathoner to ever exist), or Albert Einstein (total mystic who had so much fun in his work). There are two ways to the top of the mountain. For 99.999% of people, you end up performing better with fun and joy, and you have so much more satisfaction, which contributes to longevity. The best leaders take work seriously but laugh at themselves. The best leaders I know in the corporate world, they take the work so seriously. They are so intense. But my God, do they laugh at themselves and their colleagues and have fun. Reflection Questions Brad says, "The things that break your heart are the things that fill your life with meaning." What are you currently holding back from caring deeply about because you're afraid of getting hurt? What would it look like to step fully into that arena despite the risk of heartbreak? The Air Force study showed that sitting within 25 feet of a low performer decreases your performance by 30%. Honestly assess who you're spending the most time with right now. Are they raising your standards or lowering them? What specific change could you make this month to shift your environment? Brad uses "Brave New World" to turn fear into curiosity before big challenges. Think of something coming up that makes you anxious. Instead of trying to convince yourself you'll succeed or dwelling on the fear, what does it feel like to approach it with pure curiosity: "I've never done this before. Let's find out what happens."
