Podcasts about Bearing

In this broadcast of For Zion's Sake, Shelley and June Volk discuss the profound theme of living "for His sake." Building on Jesus' teaching in John 15:13 on laying down one's life, they explore how God consistently acts throughout Scripture—from the Exodus to the prayers of Daniel—to uphold and glorify His own name. The Volks remind believers that carrying God's name is both a privilege and a high calling, urging listeners to live in a way that reflects His character, brings honor to Messiah, and intercedes faithfully for others. Key Takeaways Living for Jesus First: Laying down one's life for others is only possible when believers live primary for Jesus, letting His grace and life flow through them. God Acts for His Name's Sake: Scriptural accounts in Daniel and Ezekiel show that God's mercy, forgiveness, and deliverance are grounded in His desire to uphold His own holy character. Bearing the Stamp of God: Believers are identified with God's name; daily choices, speech, and conduct either bring glory or reproach to Him. Persistent Intercession: Followers of Christ are encouraged to pray faithfully for family, friends, and adversaries, asking God to reveal His righteousness and salvation. Bible Passages Referenced John 15:13 – Greater love has no man than to lay down his life for his friends. 1 Samuel 12:19–22 – The Lord's commitment to His people for His great name's sake. Psalm 103:10–11 – God's immense lovingkindness and mercy toward those who fear Him. Daniel 9:16–19 – Daniel's prayer appealing to God's compassion and the honor of His name. Ezekiel 20:7–9 – God delivering His people out of Egypt so His name would not be profaned.

Bearing Biblical Burdens (Part 1)

What does it really mean to take the Lord's name in vain? Exodus 20:7is about far more than misusing God's name in our speech—it is aboutwhat happens when people who bear God's name fail to represent himaccurately. Throughout Scripture, God's people fall into two ditches:becoming indistinguishable from the world or becoming different onlyto begin to think they are better than everyone else. But Jesus showsus another way. He perfectly bears the name of God, moving towardsinners with both compassion and a call to repentance. And at thecross, he takes the judgment we deserve so that forgiven sinners canbear his name with humility and love while still courageously callingpeople to repent and believe the Gospel. This message asks achallenging question: When people encounter us, what picture of Jesusdo they see?

Hello,Kindly listen to the teaching titled BEARING THE COST OF MAKING HIM KNOWN: PAUL (Philippians 1:12-18) by Mr. Joel Dubi from the Morning Devotion on Thursday, 13th August 2026

Passage: Galatians 6:1-10 (NIV), Speaker: Rev. Kyubeom Lee, Series: Discipleship with Jesus

Christians are to be disciples of Jesus more than anything else. Although we can learn much about Jesus from other Christians, it is Jesus we follow, and it is his fruit we are to manifest. Our task is to remain with Christ, abiding in his love, and joyfully obeying his commands.

Welcome to Uptime Spotlight, shining light on wind energy’s brightest innovators. This is the progress powering tomorrow Allen Hall: Jon, welcome back to the program.  Jon Zalar: Thanks for having me.  Allen Hall: Uh, last time I saw you, we were in Melbourne- Yep … at WOMA 2026, and that was a huge event. We know we’re gonna do it again next year in March three, the 3rd through the 5th, so you’re invited back, of course- I can’t wait … if you can make it. Yeah. Yeah. It’s gonna be, it’s gonna be a good time. A lot is happening in the blade world and in the wind turbine world more broadly. A lot of things we’re hearing right now are related to blade bolt connection, pitch bearing inserts still. A lot of that still happening in the United States. What is the current status of, uh, the blade connection issues in the US? I,  Jon Zalar: I feel like it’s a growing [00:01:00] issue, not super, super fast, but it seems to be getting a little worse. There’s, you know, more bolts breaking at that joint. Um, pitch bearing cracks are, seem to be pretty common. There’s different solutions for it, and then, you know, the root inserts are another thing that we’ve talked about before that seem to be happening more and more, or maybe more and more people are finding them ’cause they’re looking. Allen Hall: What are the first indications that you have a blade bolt or some sort of joint issue at the root of a blade? What can you see?  Jon Zalar: A bolt laying in the hub bouncing around. Um, you know, from like a– looking at it from, like, the sensors on the turbine, it’s really hard to tell unless it gets really bad. Uh, some of the OEMs have some analytics developed to kinda start to indicate if there is a aero change because there’s missing bolts or root inserts are coming out, and they’re using that as a way to go figure out which ones to go inspect first. Allen Hall: Really? Yeah. You think [00:02:00] the SCADA data will give you some indication that you have a, basically a little bit of a loose blade?  Jon Zalar: Yeah. I, I, I think because the number of turbines and the number of data points you have, I think there is a pretty good analytic out there right now.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. I think a lot of our operators have not taken advantage of that. Is, is that just b- based on the high-speed data, SCADA data, or is it low-speed data you could see that same effect?  Jon Zalar: I believe it’s on the low-speed data as well, but I bet the high-speed data was used to kinda develop it.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. So that’s a huge help to operators. Yeah. So what are you looking for if you’re looking through SCADA data, what would be the couple of markers there that say, “Hey, maybe we ought to go look up at the– in the hub”? Jon Zalar: I don’t know exactly what they’re using, but they would basically look for maybe an imbalance or looking for certain components that are being overworked.  Allen Hall: Oh, sure. Okay.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So your pitch actuator may be getting a little bit overworked. It would seem like one of the places- I think that, yeah … that would get loaded, right? Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: Okay. [00:03:00] And any vibration monitoring going on? Because it, it, uh, in some cases you’re– I’m hearing, like, millimeter gaps-  Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah …  Allen Hall: between the blade and the pitch bearing.  Jon Zalar: So probably a combination of the ALC sensors, at least on a GE turbine, looking at that. But the PCH box also is looking at the tower vibration, so it could be a combination of all three. I don’t know the exact- Okay … details, but between all of that, I think there are some analytics that kinda say, “Hey, go take a look.” And then I think there’s some other companies that have- tools that go monitor it.  Allen Hall: Mm-hmm.  Jon Zalar: Dial indicators remotely or even, you know, people going up there with dial indicators to go kind of rotate the rotor and kind of see if there is gapping between the blade and the pitch bearing. Allen Hall: Is that a safe situation in your– from the gapping? I’ve heard this where they’ve basically took shims and they’re trying to measure this gap or some sort of dial indication. Is that a smart thing to do? Is it even reliable to do it that way? [00:04:00] Jon Zalar: I, I, I think there’s some reliability there. And like, you know, these are really big parts, right? So like a little bit of gap, it, it’s probably expected to a point, but growing gaps is where you should be a little more scared.  Allen Hall: So you’re– you would have to go do that quarterly, monthly, weekly? How, how often would you have to do it to see the progression? Because I’ve heard stories of, uh, a couple of weeks from nothing to hub crack to, “Oh, it took a year or more.” Jon Zalar: I think it depends on the issue. I think for– if you’re looking at that, the bolted joint itself between the root inserts and the, uh, bolts breaking itself, I, I think they’re doing about quarterly. Now, the pitch bearings inspections are also quarterly. They’re al- they’re, they’re leveraging the drone inspections for the blades, and they’re looking at the pitch bearings to see if they’re cracked, right? Uh, you guys are doing that too.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: I think Coraly is doing a good job mitigating the risk, feels like.  Allen Hall: Wow. All right. [00:05:00] Yolanda, looking at pitch bearings, you’ve looked at a lot of drone images in your lifetime. Mm-hmm. How much can you see on drone images on pitch bearings? Can you see cracks and, or y- or do you see grease, which is a really indication that something is wrong in the bearing? Yolanda Padron: You can see grease. You can see the cracks pretty, pretty well. Yeah. The drone images are, are really high quality. Uh, but you did mention that it’s something that you’re seeing a lot more. Is it because there’s a lot more aging fleets, or is it a problem with a lot of the new turbines that are coming online? Jon Zalar: I, I think it’s an, I think it’s a more of a fatigue problem, so the aging of the fleet. And also, I think more people are looking at it, right? ‘Cause, like, initially the drones that were looking for blade cracks weren’t looking at pitch bearings, but then pitch bearings started cracking, so now they added that to whatever they buy off the drone companies, right? Go look at my pitch bearings, for example.  Allen Hall: Hmm.  Jon Zalar: So I, I think it’s a problem of the more you look sometimes, the more you find.  Yolanda Padron: Hmm.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So we [00:06:00] have root insert issues, which are being addressed by a couple of different companies- Yes … uh, uh, with somewhat similar solutions. OEM is offering one right now also. Jon Zalar: I, I think there’s three solutions. There’s two uptower that are basically looking at ways to go fill the void between the root insert itself and the blade root. Um, and I– there’s another company that’s also more of a downtower solution where they’re actually, like, r- drilling out the root inserts and putting new ones in that are gonna last better, longer. Allen Hall: Okay. So the drilling out is, would be CNC onsite. Correct.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: And they’re based over in Europe. But th- the drilling out is a take the blade down, set it on the ground sort of- Yeah. Right … doing really fine machining on the, on the blade itself. So that, that’s a different, completely different insert that’s going into that-  Jon Zalar: Correct Allen Hall: new hole or- Yep … clean hole, right? So it’s a, just a, uh, totally different kind of product versus trying to inject [00:07:00] some s- sort of epoxy or resin into the, the void.  Jon Zalar: Right. Yeah. Uh, I mean, you would prefer to do it uptower. It’s gonna cost you less money.  Allen Hall: Sure.  Jon Zalar: But you wanna make sure you do it right, so I think, uh, I do foresee it being a combination of both solutions kinda going forward. Allen Hall: Is it dependent upon, like, how much damage has been already done, or what the fatigue w- uh, an estimate on what the fatigue life is?  Jon Zalar: I think it’s strictly on measurement perspective right now. So how much gapping you have, um, kinda determines what potential solutions you have.  Allen Hall: So the gaps aren’t big, right? So the, the gaps I hear are one millimeter is k- kind of sort of start a problem.  Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: Three millimeters is, “I need to be making decisions.”  Jon Zalar: Yeah. So- That, that’s what I’ve heard, too. Yes.  Allen Hall: Three millimeters is about a eighth of an inch.  Jon Zalar: Mm-hmm.  Allen Hall: So it’s not a lot of m-  Jon Zalar: But you can see sunlight through it if you’re s- down there. Allen Hall: Okay. That’s not… Well, you should see. That’s not  Jon Zalar: good either. Yeah.  Allen Hall: Right. Okay. So in a, in a three millimeter situation then, you’re doing what? [00:08:00] Jon Zalar: You’re trying to decide if the uptower solutions are something you wanna go try, ’cause they’re still in the trial mode from my understanding or-  Allen Hall: Okay …  Jon Zalar: people are learning a lot. So I think when you get to that point, you’re calling some of those companies to say, “Hey, I have this issue. I got a couple blades with, you know, .3. Can you guy- you guys wanna come take a look at it, see if your solutions, if you guys wanna go use it or not?” And then I think the ones that get too bad, from my understanding right now, is they’re, they’re replacing the blades. Allen Hall: So they’re taking the whole blade down.  Jon Zalar: Yes.  Allen Hall: And what’s the thought process in that? Uh, versus drilling out the inserts and putting new inserts in. Is there just a composite degradation that’s happened around those joints that it just puts it at risk or, or you have actually aged the blade much faster than you would otherwise have done? Jon Zalar: I, I think they aged that particular connection too much. So I, I- Wow … either between the [00:09:00] fatigue or lack of epoxy resin, w- whatever the actual root cause is for that root insert coming out, when it gets that bad, it’s like you’re not gonna be able to inject enough To make it adhere  Allen Hall: You can’t de-age it. Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Right?  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Bring back the youthfulness of the blade. Wow. All right. And we have seen this worldwide. I know in the, in the States you hear about it all the time, but it, this seems to be not a US- Correct … problem.  Jon Zalar: It’s a worldwide problem, yes.  Allen Hall: Okay. So if, if it’s a worldwide problem, are there more solutions on the way? I know you talked about three of them already.  Jon Zalar: I have not heard of any other ones except those three as of today.  Allen Hall: Wow.  Jon Zalar: There could be other people working on it. I think there should be.  Allen Hall: So, yeah. You would think so, yeah. So we’ll, I guess we’ll eventually hear about it on the podcast. Usually people with technology will contact us. They might call,  Jon Zalar: yeah. They might call you, they might call you tomorrow.  Allen Hall: Sure, they may. So that leads to sort of a subsequent issue, which I think is getting grouped together. So the [00:10:00] hub crack, pitch bearing crack, root insert pullout issue is also discussed with blade bolts being broken.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Are they related or are they separate engineering problems? Jon Zalar: If you look at them individually, you’d probably come up with some separate answers, but if you combine them all together, you kind of start looking at is there too much loading happening in the leading and trailing edge of the blade? ‘Cause the hub cracks, the root inserts, and the blade bolts, from my understanding, are happening at those two highly loaded areas of the, the blade or that whole rotor connection. So I mean, I do feel the root cause is probably a little higher loads than anticipated.  Allen Hall: I think everybody’s talked about when they’ve done the injection method and the drilling method, all they’re discussing is leading edge, trailing edge.  Jon Zalar: Yes.  Allen Hall: And how– It’s a question of how many- Correct … are you gonna replace. So th- [00:11:00] that’s, those are the two highly loaded spots on the bolted connection.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: And that’s where blade bolts are also breaking or, or the bolts breaking elsewhere around the periphery?  Jon Zalar: I don’t have all the data, but what I had seen, it’s very similar areas.  Allen Hall: So if you don’t pull the insert out, you’re then loading the bolt. Cr- Right It’s one or the other, right? Right. Yeah. So the, the, the load path is the load path, so it’s coming through the insert into the bolt. Bolt’s carrying it into the pitch bearing. Pitch bearing’s carrying it into the hub.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Hub carrying it downtower. So eventually, one of those, uh, links in the chain is- The weakest. Yeah … is, is the le- is the weakest. What is it about blade bolts that is so dangerous? We hear– we walk onsite to an O&M building, there are signs saying, you know, “Pay attention for loose bolts. Look around on the ground for loose bolts.” We’re gonna– and as electrical engineer, like, “Whoa.” Bolts should not be falling out of this tower. What i- what is that sort of sequence where a [00:12:00] bolt would escape from the nacelle?  Jon Zalar: So let’s just use one bolt. One bolt breaks, falls in the hub, bouncing around, doing some– potentially doing some damage inside the hub. And ’cause these turbines, you don’t need to go out there every day ’cause they do run pretty good, right? Right. You just do your regular maintenance. And if you don’t really know about that, ’cause, like, it bounces around for a while, then it usually gets, like, lodged behind a, uh, either center box or pitch cabinet or actually in the front sometimes. Kinda don’t know it happened. But, you know, frees itself up, keeps bouncing around, it, it could escape through the hatch covers ’cause, you know, people have to get into the hub anyway. And I’m sure a lot of people listening here that have sites, like, you know, probably found some bolts laying on the ground, which is a little scary.  Allen Hall: Right. So is, is the busting the hatch opening levers? I know there, there’s a couple different ways to get into that hatch. Yeah. But, uh, is it just completely busting the hatch? Yeah. So it’s– [00:13:00] okay. So you see a– so if you see a loose hatch panel, you have an issue. You probably gotta be careful about coming up on that turbine?  Jon Zalar: Potentially. A lot, a lot of hatches are, you know, not always maintained well.  Allen Hall: Right. I’ve seen them, I’ve seen loose ones, yeah.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Okay. So that, that would be a sign that– but though if, if you’re approaching a turbine, one look on the ground. And Yolando, you, you’ve seen a lot of turbines. So are you, are we looking on the ground and seeing what’s around the turbine before we approach the turbine now? Yeah. Just, just a sanity check?  Yolanda Padron: Yeah. Be aware also of what’s happening on site, right? Because if it’s some- if it’s a problem on site, you need to be extra careful when you’re approaching any turbine there. Uh, is it something that people maybe should start thinking about implementing, like, a sensors earlier on than when they’re seeing the issue actually happen?  Jon Zalar: Yeah. I, I, I think that’s a potential, ’cause it, the quicker you catch it, the less damage you’re gonna do, and it also reduce the risk of [00:14:00] it, um, falling out of the hub And I’ve worked with a couple of my, uh, customers for some, like, potential ways to detect it. Still kind of trialing it right now. But I, I do think there’s gonna be some benefit from a safety reduction, but also from a strictly a damage. ‘Cause, like, you get a couple bolts bouncing around there, and you bang up some cabinets or some pitch motors, that’s expensive and hard to go fix.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah, we were talking about it earlier too. Like, it goes down, it can hit a transformer, it can hit, like, a truck or someone.  Jon Zalar: Chance of it hitting someone. Yeah. I mean, I don’t care what hard hat you have on, it’s not gonna do anything.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah.  Allen Hall: So what kind of sensor should you be putting onto the turbine if you don’t have access to the SCADA data or you don’t know what the correct algorithm is to suss out there’s something wrong up there? But a, a bolt breaking is not gonna be something that a SCADA would even pick up, I don’t think. One bolt out of the whole- Yeah. No.  Jon Zalar: No way. Okay. I mean, there’s a– I think there’s, like, [00:15:00]one company looking at more of a, like, mechanical way to, like, prevent the bolt from coming out. I forgot the name of it. Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: Um, and then what I was looking at was more of a, like, you know, microphone type detection to kind of listen for that.  Allen Hall: It would make a lot of noise.  Jon Zalar: Yeah. It seems like it works. It, um, yeah, still more development needed on my end.  Allen Hall: So- The engineer in me was, is saying, “Why are we not putting strain gauges on bolts?” I picked on the leading and the trailing. It’s like right dead center there to look at, even if it’s just two strain gauge bolts to see what the loads are.  Jon Zalar: So like there are s- there are bolts that are, or that are made with the strain gauges built in that you can use to go, you know, monitor that. But you also need to understand like what was the design intent. So unless you’re working with the OEM, you don’t really know what you’re seeing is good or bad. You just say, “Oh-  Allen Hall: You just see a number.  Jon Zalar: Yeah. Right. I mean like, and if you install, I don’t know, four, you’d be like, “All right. Leading and trailing edge are higher [00:16:00] than the other two.” Well, yeah, it’s supposed to be, but like is a 10% difference expected or not expected? Allen Hall: Is that something where if you’re, especially if you’re in a full service agreement, and a lot of these turbines are- Yeah … for the first couple of years, if you were to do that, it’s something you would just say to the OEM, “Hey, this is, these are the loads we’re seeing from the strain gauges on these bolts. Does this make sense to you?” Or, or would an OEM just not even respond to that kind of inquiry?  Jon Zalar: I mean, I think it’s all about relationship with the OEM. I, I, I think  Allen Hall: it- I think they would wanna know.  Jon Zalar: I have a feeling they probably are looking.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: I mean, ’cause I mean they have the test turbines too that they probab- that, that I know they have instrumented heavily. Allen Hall: Yeah. So they, they’re probably getting at least some feedback. Th- that’s the problem. Yeah. And you worked on the other side, right? I have. So you worked for an OEM doing the RTAs. The first problem is you don’t have data, so now you gotta go get the data.  Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: And that data is not available tomorrow. No. ‘Cause you’re gonna have to go run some sort of design of experiment to go figure out if [00:17:00] there is even a true problem or even what the root causes could be.  Jon Zalar: And it, and it’s expensive to go instrument a blade and get the data back at the right speed and connected to the turbine data. I mean, I rem- I, I used to say it’s about like 300 to 500,000 to go put a couple gauges on a blade just with all the equipment you need to get the data correct. Allen Hall: To get the right data.  Jon Zalar: Get the right data at the right frequency connected to the controller. It’s, it’s very expensive.  Allen Hall: Wow. Okay. Yeah. I, I don’t, I don’t see a lot of operators doing that.  Jon Zalar: And especially connecting it to the operating data, right? So like if you go put a strain gauge and I don’t know, you’re curtailed, you’re only making, I don’t know, a megawatt- Doesn’t matter. And if you don’t know what the turbine’s doing and you’re looking at this, like, strain gauge data, it’s really hard to correlate anything.  Allen Hall: So you need a full suite of data. Yeah. That includes weather data- Yeah … at some level, right? Gust winds and- Oh,  Jon Zalar: yeah …  Allen Hall: average wind speed. You need the anemometer. You need which, which way [00:18:00] the n- cell’s pointing. Y- uh, you would need a lot of information- And what the controller’s- … to even suss it out …  Jon Zalar: and what the controller’s doing, right? Right. ‘Cause, like, every turbine, the controller’s trying to, like, you know, balance the rotor the whole time. It’s trying to, you know, micro pitch depending on what the winds are doing. And if you don’t know what all that stuff’s doing, like, it’s really hard to correlate a strain gauge measurement to is that bad or not.  Allen Hall: It’s a complicated problem.  Jon Zalar: Yes. That’s why RCAs take, you know, a long time, and they’re not done in two weeks.  Allen Hall: No, they’re done in a year.  Jon Zalar: Yeah.  Allen Hall: Typically, or longer. So what should an operator be thinking about now? If, if we s- get our drone images back, we’re scanning through them like, “Oh, there’s a crack” What am I doing next besides calling you and connecting to your LinkedIn page?  Jon Zalar: So right now with the pitch bearing crack, um, some of the OEMs are providing stiffener plates to put over the crack and try to run it. Allen Hall: So that’s a doubler plate, basically. A double plate. Doubler  Jon Zalar: plate, yes. [00:19:00] Allen Hall: Yeah. Okay. So even in a, in a crack scenario, that pitch bearing, if given mechanical support, can run like that?  Jon Zalar: That’s my understanding, yes. That, that potentially could run for some period of time. I don’t know if it’ll make it 20 years or not, but it’ll buy you time for sure. Allen Hall: Does that involve a crane to do that work or is that just… My recollection, that was in pieces, like there, it’s not a ring, it’s a, a couple of pieces that you’d be able to bolt on without taking the-  Jon Zalar: No, it’s a- … blade down … it’s a, it’s a single piece that-  Allen Hall: It’s like a single casting kind of thing.  Jon Zalar: Right. And I, I think you need some like small crane, like a jig crane or one of those-  Allen Hall: Just to support the blade while you do it? Jon Zalar: And to go put it in, right. Okay. Yeah, I don’t think, you’re not taking the blade off. You’re not taking the  Allen Hall: blade down.  Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah. It’s, it’s done with the blade up there.  Allen Hall: Okay.  Jon Zalar: You’re putting new, putting longer studs in and putting the plate on.  Allen Hall: So first step is let’s get the joint reinforced. Right. That’s the easy first step.  Jon Zalar: Right. Although there has been some cases where since [00:20:00]you’ve put that stiffener plate on, the loads get spread out to the end of the plate, and then you- Sure … you could see cracks there.  Allen Hall: Okay. All right. So the loads- It, that- … have to go somewhere …  Jon Zalar: loads have to go somewhere. That’s, that is a bottom line. Allen Hall: All right. So you’re just changing where the load path is, so you have to be cognizant of that. Okay. Sure. Fine. But if you have, uh, especially in the United States, you don’t have 10 of these turbines, you have 50, 100- 100 … 200, 300 of these things, or thousands as it, as it turns out. Are there simple solutions that can be applied to, just to give me a sense, like that turbine’s having a problem, but the one next to it’s not, and, and just, just from a maintenance spin standpoint where I’m not just blanketing everything and trying to do everything to all these turbines at once, how do I, how do I manage this? Jon Zalar: I, I think it’s like being very observant. So like, you know, making sure you’re looking at the pitch bearings from the drone images, right? Um, also talking [00:21:00] to your maintenance people like, “Hey, are, are you finding a bunch of broken bolts? Like, what positions?” Like, you know, if I was back at the OEM, I would like to have as much data as possible on this issue. Like how many bolts are, when did you find them, what positions? A lot of times we, when I was there, like we would not get all that information, so it’s like really hard to run an RCA without that information.  Allen Hall: Sure. Yeah, where did this bolt break in the ring?  Jon Zalar: Right.  Allen Hall: Could tell you a lot. Is it just a b- bad lot of bolts, or is it something more load related? Jon Zalar: Correct.  Allen Hall: Wow. Okay.  Yolanda Padron: Yeah, I think that’s a really good point, too, to make sure that you’re connected with like every stage of the operations. ‘Cause I know that everybody’s obviously really, really busy on a wind farm, but it’s really common for like an engineer to have certain data and the site team to just be running around and having a lot of data, but maybe they don’t realize that, oh, it’s important to know how many bolts per tower are coming down. Jon Zalar: Correct. Yeah  Allen Hall: That’s a lot of work  Jon Zalar: It definitely-  Allen Hall: It’s a tremendous effort if you’re gonna [00:22:00] go after this problem and, and solve it RCS  Jon Zalar: are hard. They  Allen Hall: are. Yeah. All of it. Yeah. Machines are complicated today. There’s a lot of computer-driven s- things about them, and then you have these loading issues, and you have composite materials. Th- there’s just, y-  Jon Zalar: you got to get- It’s a very complex  Allen Hall: It’s a machine, right? Yeah. It’s a complex machine. So how do people reach out to… You’re, you’re the head of IWTG, which is based in South Carolina, but you do consulting worldwide. Yes. And, and you are a huge resource because you understand the complexities of these problems. How do people get ahold of you and, and get something started if they have a, a, a blade bolt issue or an insert issue or a cracked pitch bearing? Where do they start?  Jon Zalar: They can send me an email, jzalar@iwtgconsulting.com.  Allen Hall: Okay. And you have a great LinkedIn page, so you can connect with you on LinkedIn.  Jon Zalar: Yes.

Main Idea: Christians are called to keep in step with the Spirit by bearing one another's burdens and doing good to everyone.

Readings: Isaiah 55:1-5 | Psalm 145: 8-9, 15-22 | Romans 9:1-5 | Matthew 14:13-21. Preached for the 10th Sunday after Pentecost (2026-08-02).

In this passage Jesus reveals what the life of a disciple should look like in His kingdom.  Just what does it mean to Bear The Family Image of Jesus Christ?   What Jesus teaches will challenge our values, reshape our priorities, and call us to a new way of living. (Luke 6:20-36)

Bearing Burdens | Galatians 6 by Christ Covenant

Pastor Richard Caldwell and Dr. Josh Philpot open Galatians 6:1-5 on bearing one another's burdens: how to restore a fallen brother in a spirit of gentleness, why true spirituality produces humility instead of legalism, and why every believer must also bear his own load before the Lord.

When a believer is caught in a trespass, the church has a biblical responsibility to restore that fallen brother in a spirit of gentleness. This requires genuine Christian accountability and discipleship relationships grounded in sound, reformed theology. Pastor Richard Caldwell provides expository preaching on Galatians 6, explaining how to bear burdens biblically without falling into the trap of legalism. True spirituality fulfills the law of Christ through humble love, helping believers overcome sin issues while recognizing that each person must also rely on the Lord's sufficient grace to carry their own load.

John 15:1-17   We are like branches of a grapevine, and we can only bear fruit if we're connected to the vine, which is Jesus. Bearing this fruit equates to spiritual maturity. Spiritual maturity is summed up by Jesus' command to love, and to do that, we are called to lay down our lives for one another. Here are three ways we can gauge and improve our love: Love quicker Love broader Love deeper   Crossroads – about heaven, earth, and the journey in between.

Last chance to get your Jesus Won apparel shirt by clicking here.What does it actually mean to be made in the image of God? In this episode of The Impossible Life Podcast, Nick Surface and Garrett Unclebach unpack one of the most foundational truths for Christian men: your identity does not start with your feelings, achievements, failures, personality, job, past, or culture. It starts with God. You were created by Him, for Him, and to reflect Him. That means your life has weight, dignity, responsibility, and purpose before you ever accomplish a single thing.This conversation challenges men to recover a biblical vision of identity, masculinity, faith, and purpose. If you are an image bearer, then your life is not meant to be lived casually, selfishly, or passively. You were designed to reflect the nature of God in the earth through strength, love, truth, discipline, dominion, service, creativity, and responsibility. Jesus shows us the perfect image of God, and following Him is the path to becoming the man you were created to be.For men who feel lost, passive, confused, or disconnected from their purpose, this episode is a call back to design. You are not here by accident, and you are not free to define yourself apart from the One who made you. The world wants to distort identity, masculinity, and purpose, but faith in Jesus restores the image and gives men a clear path forward. If you want to live with conviction, lead with strength, walk in faith, and become who God designed you to be, you have to start with this truth: you bear His image.Get With NuWave Home Lenders By Clicking HereGet a Free 7 Day Trial On The Tailored Training App By Clicking HereJoin a group of likeminded Impossible Life listeners in our FREE Skool community by clicking here.Get the Purpose Playbook by clicking hereGet the FREE Basic Discipline Training 30 Day Program by clicking hereJoin us in Mindset Mastery by clicking hereLevel up your nutrition with IDLife by clicking hereGET IN TOUCHSocial Media - @theimpossiblelifeEmail - info@theimpossible.life

Bearing the Flame - Deacon Bill Meagher | Ep. 511 by Divine Mercy Radio

Bearing God's Image in Love Aaron Ferguson Download

In this message on Exodus 20.7, we explore what it means to bear God's name in the world. Taking God's name is more than avoiding a curse word--it's about representing His character, reputation, and holiness in everything we say and do. From our words and promises to our motives, worship, and daily conduct, this sermon calls us to live with integrity so that our lives reflect the God we claim to know. As we walk with God, the Holy Spirit produces spiritual fruit in our lives, making our love for our neighbor a tangible reality.

Noam and Jen spend a little time talking about things like Iran and what's going on now before getting into the most important topic of the year: Christopher Nolan's The Odyssey. Spoiler alert - it's a good movie and will win many awards. We discuss the movie itself and, of course, the extremely weird online reactions to the movie and its success.  Just a good, old fashioned Ambitious Crossover Attempt episode, like we used to be able to make before everything went pear shaped.  

What does it really mean to be one with Christ? Building on last week's message on the new wineskin, Pastor Alvin unpacks Matthew 9:17 and shows why God can't pour new things into the old version of us. Through John 15, he introduces the Vinedresser and makes it clear that pruning isn't punishment. It's proof you're already bearing fruit. We're either in Christ or we're not. Bearing much fruit or bearing none. Pastor Alvin challenges us to examine our hearts and our actions, because our lives reveal what we actually believe, and walks through the three levels of judgment: self-judgment, chastisement, and condemnation, making the case that judging yourself first is always the better path. The new wineskin isn't just a new heart. It's a new mind, the mind of Christ. Discover what it looks like to think, live, and walk fully in step with him.

Title: BEARing the Burden of BaldnessScripture Reading: II Kings 2:23-25Series: Bizarre BibleTaylor Englund joins Pastor Bill to discuss if Elisha overreacted by cursing 42 boys for mocking his baldness, or if there is a deeper, cosmic meaning behind this bizarre Bible story. This episode unpacks the strange narrative of Elisha and the two bears, revealing it's more than a prophet's overreaction. It explores 4 "P"s: the "place" of Bethel, a center of idolatry, and Elisha as the "prophet," a new Joshua leading a spiritual conquest. The "perpetrators" were young adults challenging God's authority, leading to a divine "punishment" that validated Elisha's role in reclaiming God's cosmic territory through spiritual warfare. As members of God's royal family, we are called to continue Jesus' cosmic mission, revealing His victory and reclaiming spiritual territory by spreading the good news of His Kingdom.

In this episode of Conversations with Interpreter, Avram and Thora interview Dr. Ryan Davis. Dr. Davis is a specialist in ancient Semitic poetry, studying how poetry expresses the relationship between worshipers and their gods, including the God of Israel. This episode looks at his piece, “Bearing Testimony in Hebrew: A Comparison of Ancient Israelite Temple Rituals with Modern Latter-day Saint Fast and Testimony Meetings,” first given at the Temple on Mt. Zion Conference in November 2018. In this episode, Dr. Davis talks about how the Psalms give us clues into the experiences of Israelites giving thanks at the ancient Temple. He then explores how those experiences helped establish the relationship between them and the God of Israel. Dr. Davis connects this process to that of modern Latter-day Saints who give thanks in their own Fast and Testimony meetings, creating continuity between the ancient and modern experience with God. The article is available to read at https://interpreterfoundation.org/reprint-bearing-testimony-in-hebrew The post Conversations with Interpreter: Ryan Davis — Bearing Testimony in Hebrew first appeared on The Interpreter Foundation.

It's the week of the Tour de France Grand Départ, and with it have come a few big bike launches. Escape's senior tech editors, Dave Rome and Ronan Mc Laughlin, jump on to discuss whether Specialized's new Tarmac hits the mark. There's also a new bike from Orbea. Plus Dave asks Ronan to confirm just how progressive his fit is, and as it turns out, the answer is not very. Ronan then jumps on a call with Daan Teugels from Belgian Cycling Factory to discuss how Eddy Merckx's reduced-frame-size options can still meet racers' needs. As always, members of Escape Collective don't just support independent journalism; they get access to everything we have to offer.
