Podcasts about Beautiful Day

Today, we kick off our Christmas series on the podcast!

It's FRI-YAY—and shout-out day! Today, Pastor Jeff shares that Jesus took the commandments a step further. He taught that God's laws aren't just rules we follow on the outside—they're about what's happening in our hearts, thoughts, and attitudes. Matthew 5:21-22 Jesus said: "You have heard that it was said to the people long ago, 'You shall not murder, and anyone who murders will be subject to judgment.' But I tell you that anyone who is angry with a brother or sister will be subject to judgment."

Happy Thanksgiving Day! We are so grateful for YOU! Join Pastor Jeff as he shares from Psalm 40:8 and reminds us that obeying God isn't just about rules—it's about loving Him, trusting Him, and letting Him guide our hearts. Psalm 40:8 "I desire to do your will, my God; your law is within my heart."

Pastor Jeff shared today that God gave the Ten Commandments to help His people know how to love Him and love others. But He didn't stop there—He also promised blessings for those who follow Him. Deuteronomy 30:16 16 For I command you today to love the Lord your God, to walk in obedience to him, and to keep his commands, decrees and laws; then you will live and increase, and the Lord your God will bless you in the land you are entering to possess.

Who buys our s---? I don't buy Campbell's products barely anymore. Bioengineered meat — I don't wanna eat a piece of chicken that came from a 3-D printer."He also allegedly made derogatory comments about Indian coworkers and – according to the recording – claimed he sometimes came to work under the influence of marijuana: "F---ing Indians don't know a f---ing thing," the voice on the recording says. "They couldn't think for their f---ing selves."The statement follows claims made by former Campbell's security analyst Robert Garza, who filed a lawsuit in Wayne County Circuit Court alleging that Bally launched into an hour-long tirade during what was meant to be a discussion about Garza's salary.Campbell's: “We are proud of the food we make, the people who make it and the high-quality ingredients we use ... The comments on the recording are not only inaccurate—they are patently absurd.Campbell's also noted that Bally is not involved in food development. “Keep in mind, the alleged comments are made by an IT person, who has nothing to do with how we make our food,” the statement concluded.WHO DO YOU BLAME?The founding families:Voting power: (35%) Mary Alice D.

WHO DO YOU BLAMEAshley Buchanan: On May 1, 2025, Kohl's board terminated Buchanan “for cause” following an outside investigation overseen by its Audit Committee. The investigation found that Buchanan directed Kohl's to do business with a vendor founded by someone with whom he had a personal relationship. He also caused Kohl's to enter into a multimillion-dollar consulting agreement involving that same person. Crucially, he did not disclose this personal relationship, which was a violation of Kohl's code of ethics.Golden hello: $17m equity and $3.75m cashFormer director Christine Day: Shortly after Buchanan was fired, Day resigned, citing “lack of transparency” and governance concerns. Day said she was frustrated that not all board members were kept informed of risks and that decisions seemed centralized (“Michael ‘handles' everything … then ‘tells' everyone what the decision is”). Kohl's strongly disputed her characterization, saying her resignation was not “due to any disagreements” over operations or practices.Investors: chair Bender named interim CEO 4/30/25… AGM 5/14/2595% yes bender; 55% yes pay; 89% yes Prising; 92% average; new chair 91% John E.

This is the $99 Kumma bear made by FoloToy using OpenAI's service. OpenAI said it was suspending Folotoy for violations of usage of ChatGPT. WHO DO YOU BLAME?:Folotoy, who's founder and CEO Larry Wang calls himself “Chief Geek Officer” and has a background in child psychology and behavioral science… oh, wait, not, he has background in computer science and was founder of a tech telecomm company and was a software developer for insurance before that. But he's obviously qualified to do this: “Kumma, our adorable bear, combines advanced artificial intelligence with friendly, interactive features, making it the perfect friend for both kids and adults. From lively conversations to educational storytelling, FoloToy adapts to your personality and needs, bringing warmth, fun, and a little extra curiosity to your day.”OpenAI - obviously Sam Altman's commitment to “the benefit of humanity” stopped short of “sex advice from baby toys,” even though he says having kids of his own will help him not destroy humanity. I assume he's not getting Sammy Jr a Kumma bear? DROpenAI's board - obviously if they had fired Sam Altman, there wouldn't be sex bears using ChatGPT. But Helen Toner was forced out by the rest of the board, investors, and public pressure - she's since said, “But for years, Sam had made it really difficult for the board to actually do that job by withholding information, misrepresenting things that were happening at the company, in some cases outright lying to the board,” and that Altman gave them, “inaccurate information about the small number of formal safety processes that the company did have in place.” Perhaps Altman said, “no, that teddy bear didn't just say he loved oral sex, that's just a misinterpretation.”Microsoft - Satya, despite misgivings from Bill Gates, threw $10bn at OpenAI in January 2023. In November 2023, the board removed Sam Altman. Turns out Microsoft had released a version of ChatGPT in India that Altman sanctioned outside of safety protocols - the board should have signed off, but Altman lied to them and hid it. But rather than Microsoft pulling back the release and recognizing the damage it could do, they swooped in and “hired” Sam Altman 3 days after his firing. Their $10bn investment might have been the first cog in a sex bear wheel.I'm the Chief People Officer at Walmart. I always wake up to the same U2 song and watch the 'Today' show. That is Donna Morris listening to U2's “Beautiful Day”, the first thing she does is go online, she doesn't drink coffee but drinks Diet Coke (“I've just never been a hot drink type of girl, I guess. I try to limit myself to two Diet Cokes a day, although every once in a while, I sneak in a third.”), she likes buying cookbooks but doesn't use them. Not mentioned: Walmart's DEI rollback, the new CEO coming in, working for a family dictatorship, and any of her colleagues - as chief people officer, there are almost zero people mentioned. WHO DO WE BLAME FOR THIS EXISTING?Professional Conservative Snowflake Robby Starbuck - he claimed Walmart as his first “victory” after Trump's election in the DEI rollback. Post-Starbuck snowflake-ism, Morris might have had a job managing humans, but now her job is basically to send pink slips and make sure there aren't TOO many swastikas in the bathroom stall. A few is fine, but c'mon. So to pass the time, Morris is stuck giving interviews to Business Insider.Business Insider, who must have known Morris had the potential to give an insipid review of her day when this was her excuse for Walmart's DEI rollback: "When you talk about diversity, equity, inclusion, all in part, there can be communities, and often the largest communities, that step back and say, 'Geez, I'm not sure if I'm even actually included'," Morris explained of the decision. Which echoes… ROBBY FUCKING STARBUCK, who said to anyone who would listen: "This is the biggest win yet for our movement to end wokeness in corporate America. This won't just have a massive effect for their employees who will have a neutral workplace without feeling that divisive issues are being injected but it will also extend to their many suppliers."Donna Morris, because as only we covered here when discussing the corporate move to blame the employees for every problem and getting fired, had this to say of her biggest red flag on an employee: “Nobody wants [to hire] a Debbie Downer. [Someone who is] constantly negative. You know they're going to show up [and] they're going to bring the problem, never the solution.” Literally, the JOB of HR is to field COMPLAINTS from employees about how their managers treat them - or is it too Debbie Downer to complain about racial discrimination of employees?Walmart's board - they must have signed off on Morris getting hired, right? Or a Walton? Someone somewhere thought this was a good idea? Take your pick:CFO of OpenAI Sarah Friar (who said OpenAI would need a government backstop, then clarified)Brian Niccol, the CEO of Starbucks who was given a golden hello, a golden parachute, and probably a golden shower, who just named to a “worst CEO” listThe current AND former CEO of WalmartSteuart Walton, who couldn't bother to even be named “Stuart” (he had to spell it with an extra “E”) with a claim to fame of marrying a Baywatch reboot actress, and Greg Penner, the son-in-law of a different Walton and snuck his way onto the board AND as co-owner of the Denver BroncosTom Horton, retired American Airlines CEO who was CFO of American for years right before they declared bankruptcy, but somehow is remembered for “restructuring” them instead of bankrupting them?Marissa Mayer - yes, that Mayer, formerly of YahooNot one, but TWO different consultantsRandall Stephenson, ex AT&T CEO, who, if I'm honest, seems to have actual integrity and I'm not sure why he's here, plus two DEI directors (because they're not white, so probably not qualified)

Pastor Jeff shares our Faith Question/Truth Bomb for this week and teaches us that when we learn more about who God is—how He is loving, just, and merciful—we begin to want to obey Him truly. 1 John 2:3 3 We know that we have come to know Him if we keep His commands.

Happy Thanksgiving week! Our Faith Question #8 is: What is the law of God stated in the Ten Commandments? Truth Bomb: You shall have no other gods before me. You shall not make for yourself an idol. You shall not misuse the name of the Lord your God. Remember the Sabbath day by keeping it holy. Honor your father and your mother. You shall not murder. You shall not commit adultery. You shall not steal. You shall not give false testimony. You shall not covet. Exodus 20:3 "You shall have no other gods before me."  

It's FRI-YAY! And it's shout-out day with Pastor Jeff! Today, we wrap up our Faith Question #7: What does the law of God require? Truth Bomb: That we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength—and love our neighbor as ourselves. We see this perfectly in the example of Jesus! Mark 12:30-31 30 Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength.' 31 The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.'There is no commandment greater than these."

Today Pastor Jeff asks this question - Who is my neighbor? Leviticus 19:18 "Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against anyone among your people, but love your neighbor as yourself. I am the LORD."

Today, Pastor Jeff shares from the prophet Ezekiel. Ezekiel tells us that God can give us a new heart and a new Spirit—changing our hearts from "stone" to "flesh" and giving us His Spirit to guide us. Ezekiel 36:26-27 "I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you; I will remove from you your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh. And I will put my Spirit in you and move you to follow my decrees and be careful to keep my laws."

Join Pastor Jeff today for our Faith Question and Truth Bomb of the week! He will remind you that God loved you first, and our love for Him is our joyful response to His amazing gift. 1 John 4:19 "We love because he first loved us."

This week's Faith Question asks: What does the law of God require? And here's the Truth Bomb: That we love God with all our heart, soul, mind, and strength; and love our neighbor as ourselves. Matthew 22:37-40 "And Jesus said to him, 'You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And the second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.'"

Today is FRI-YAY! And it's shout-out day! Pastor Jeff shares that we were made to love and obey God—and that's how we glorify Him. John 14:31  " … that the world may learn that I love the Father and do exactly what my Father has commanded me."

Pastor Jeff shares today that obedience isn't the hard path — it's the path you were created for! 1 John 5:3 "In fact, this is love for God: to keep His commands. And His commands are not burdensome."

Pastor Jeff will share today what the word worthy means and how God is worthy of everything. Revelation 4:11 "You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being."

Today, Pastor Jeff teaches us that we were all created to glorify God. That means God has a plan for your life, and everything you do can bring honor to Him. Isaiah 43:7:  "Everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made."

Our Faith Question for this week is: How can we glorify God? And our Truth Bomb is: By loving Him and obeying His commands and laws. Deuteronomy 11:1  "You shall therefore love the Lord your God and keep his charge, his statues, his rules, and his commandments always."

Today is FRI-YAY! And shout-out time! Pastor Jeff wraps up this week's Faith Question: "What else did God create?"Truth Bomb: God created all things, and all His creation was very good. Jesus was with God at creation! John 1:1-3  1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning. 3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

This week, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God created everything—seen and unseen, from the tiniest particles to the farthest stars. Faith Question 5: What else did God create? Truth Bomb: God created all things, and all His creation was very good. Hebrews 11:3  By faith we understand that the universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made out of what was visible.

Today, Pastor Jeff teaches that God created everything by simply speaking it into existence, demonstrating His incredible power, creativity, and authority. Psalm 33:6 "By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, their starry host by the breath of His mouth."

Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God is the Creator of everything—seen and unseen—and that He made everything with a unique design and purpose. Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth."

This week, Pastor Jeff is teaching our new Faith Question and Truth Bomb! Faith Question #5: What else did God create? Truth Bomb: God created all things, and all His creation was very good! Because God is love, everything He creates comes from His loving nature. Genesis 1:31 "And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good…"

Today is Fri-YAY and Shout-Out Day! Pastor Jeff reminds us that we are made to glorify God. Just like Jesus, we can glorify God by obeying Him, loving others, and trusting Him—even when it's hard.

Pastor Jeff teaches today that love is so important because God is love! When we get to know Him, we learn that the best thing we can do is love God more than anything else. That's why God created us—to know Him, love Him, and walk with Him.. Deuteronomy 6:5 "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength."

Today Pastor Jeff shares a big truth: God created you so that you could know Him, love Him, and walk with Him—starting now and going forever. John 17:3 "Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent."

Today, Pastor Jeff shares that to glorify God means to show how great He is. While big things like going to church or reading the Bible are awesome, even the little things—listening, doing homework, helping others, or having a good attitude—can honor Him too. 1 Corinthians 10:31 "So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God."

This week's Faith Question is: How and why did God create us? Truth Bomb: God created us male and female in His own image to glorify Him. Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us that God made each of us on purpose—He didn't make a mistake. Genesis 1:27 “So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them.”

It's FRI-YAY! And Pastor Jeff is here with a special shoutout as he wraps up this week's Faith Question: How many persons are there in God? Truth Bomb: There are three persons in one God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit! John 3:16: “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Today, Pastor Jeff shares that the Holy Spirit is God Himself, one of the three persons of the Trinity. He's real and at work in our hearts every day—doing a very important job in our lives. John 14:21 “But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you.”

Join Pastor Jeff today as he shares that when we look at Jesus, we see God's heart. John 1:14: "And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth".

Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us what it really means to call God our Father. He's not distant or too busy for us—He's close, loving, and deeply cares for each of us. Ephesians 4:6 “[There is] one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all.”

All throughout both the Old and New Testaments, we see a clear pattern of people in Scripture turning to prayer and fasting in times of uncertainty, brokenness, and need. And in those examples, we find that prayer and fasting are not just religious obligations but natural responses to desperation. And we find that moments of crisis can lead to spiritual renewal when approached with humility and dependence on God. And we find that whether you and I are facing the unknown road ahead or the ruins of life, the invitation is to pray and fast, recognizing that our deepest hunger can only be satisfied by God. SPEAKERS: Jay Kim (Saratoga), video (South Hills) Bible Passage(s): Ezra 8:21,23, Nehemiah 1:3-4

Pastor Jeff explores our new Faith Question for the week - How many persons are there in God? And our Truth Bomb is: There are three persons in one God — the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. 2 Corinthians 13:14 “The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.”

FRI-YAY! It's Shout Out Day with Pastor Jeff! We're wrapping up Week 2 of our series with the question: What is God?

❓ What is God?

In this week's episode of Tell Me More, Katy and Dr. Wiles dive deeper into what's happening in the life of our church and unpack Sunday's message, “It's a Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood.”Drawing from Matthew 5:13–16, Dr. Wiles explores what it means to live as salt and light—to bring influence, inspiration, and truth into our relationships and communities. God created us for connection, and through those connections, we find purpose: helping others know God, experience God, and serve God.Katy and Dr. Wiles talk about the importance of faithful presence—showing up with love and hospitality in our neighborhoods, schools, and workplaces. They reflect on how friendship, not argument, is often the bridge to faith in a world that's lost its spiritual language.Tune in for an encouraging and practical conversation about being inclusive, invitational, and intentional in every relationship. Because when we live out the love of Jesus where we are, every day can truly be a beautiful day in the neighborhood.

Join Pastor Jeff for Week 2 of Faith Questions! ❓ What is God?

Today is FRI-YAY! and it's Shout Out Day with Pastor Jeff! Faith Question: What is our only hope in life and death?

Join Pastor Jeff today as he asks: What is our only hope in life and death?

Today, Pastor Jeff reminds us: just like you can't make plans with someone else's stuff, our lives don't truly belong to us. Our hope is in God, who owns our lives and always knows the best plans for us. Jeremiah 10:23 23 Lord, I know that people's lives are not their own; it is not for them to direct their steps.

✨ This Week's Faith Question: What is our only hope in life and death?

It's FRI-YAY and Shout-Out Day! Pastor Jeff reminds us that following Jesus is more than just knowing about Him—it's living like Him every day. Ephesians 5:1 5 1 Follow God's example, therefore, as dearly loved children

Today, Pastor Jeff shares from Proverbs 4:7, showing that knowing God and understanding His ways is the most important thing we can do. The more we learn about Him, the stronger our faith grows. Proverbs 4:7 7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom. Though it cost all you have, get understanding.

Curtis's moonshots: Greg keeping the hat, getting NY bagels to Boston // A happy edition of Hill Notes on account of the Sox // Let's go out and do it all over again tonight! We're on to Baby Pedro //

Join Pastor Jeff today as he shares why a strong foundation of faith matters. Life brings storms—problems, sadness, sickness—but with God as our foundation, we can face anything with hope. Psalm 18:2 2 The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation, my stronghold.
