The old generation of those Israelites who refused to go into the Promised Land has now died, and the new generation of those Israelites who were younger than twenty years old stands ready to enter the LORD's inheritance. Because Aaron has already died, Eleazar assists Moses in taking this second census. Whereas the first census in Numbers focused on the number of Israelites ready for war, this second census focuses on the reality of God's gift of the Promised Land as His people's inheritance. Various asides throughout the census highlight both the people's failures and the LORD's faithfulness to Israel, thus encouraging this new generation to hold fast to the LORD's promises.  Rev. Carl Roth, pastor at Grace Lutheran Church in Elgin, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Numbers 26:1-65.  "Wilderness Wanderings” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Numbers. After the LORD delivers His people from slavery in Egypt, He leads them toward the Promised Land. Although the first generation of Israelites proves faithless, the LORD remains faithful to His people and brings a new generation of Israelites to the plains of Moab. This strengthens us to listen to God's promises today and stay faithful to Him as He guides us toward resurrection life.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

The Air Force is looking for America's best- not just for Air Force Special Warfare but for the entire Air Force. One of the main questions we get is, "How early should I start training for the Air Force- and what should I do?" Well, as always, we brought on the Subject Matter experts to address just that for Air Force Special Operations hopefuls and everyone across the United States looking to become part of the world's greatest Air Force! JD Mata and Zach Kinninger are experienced athletes and coaches who went from accomplished Top 25 collegiate football teams to the Special Warfare Candidate Course. While working with the best coaching staff in the DoD at Joint Base San Antonio, their team realized that they needed to go above and beyond to get a higher success rate. The USAF Special Warfare Pre-Accession Preparation Manual was born from that initial idea. After thousands of man-hours utilizing cutting-edge research and tons of data, the SWCC team was able to field the step-by-step playbook for success in Air Force Special Warfare pipelines and beyond. Copy and paste the link below into your browser to get everything from the manual to studies about injury prevention and more.

Video Podcast and Show Notes: https://ukuleleunderground.com/2023/09/ukuleles-biggest-misconceptions-the-ukulele-underground-podcast-86/ It's a special Aldrine and Kahai show at home. Because Aaron is taking a break this week, Kahai throws some hard hitting questions at Aldrine like what musicians would he want to see use uke more, and what are the biggest misconceptions of the ukulele? After tackling those spicy questions, Aldrine answers a Tennis question, and shows off a lovely gift from a member. The duo also answer questions about multi headed instruments, improvising, and if curl in wood actually affects the sound? Hopefully the UU Team will make a recovery, and be back together by next week.

Because Aaron and his priesthood were about serving a copy and shadow of the true tabernacle and Christ is the High Priest of that the true tabernacle, which is a much better ministry, He must be ministering in it through a better covenant. Israel entered into covenant with God in Exodus 24, a covenant that was faulty in reconciling people to God because they did not obey all things that God commanded. Since God found fault with them, He promised to establish a better covenant in Jeremiah 31. In Jeremiah 31, God spoke about how He would rescue a remnant and from them make a people who would be His people and He would be their God. The first covenant with Israel did not make them His people because it was a covenant based on the law which could not transform a people. Therefore, He had to enter into a new covenant sealed with the blood of the perfect sacrifice, Christ, which would transform their hearts and minds.

In his first solo guest appearance, film newbie Jonathan returns to Watch If You Dare to join Aaron and Derek in tackling 2008's psychological horror film "The Strangers" written and directed by Bryan Bertino. They discuss what works and what doesn't with both horror and plot specifically from the viewpoint of someone who doesn't normally watch horror. They also talk about the pacing, the small cast performances, the frustrating character choices, how the movie has aged, among other things. Why did Jonathan do all this? Because Aaron and Derek were podcasting. We are on PodBean, Apple Podcasts, Podchaser, Amazon Music, Google, Stitcher, Spotify, and CastBox. Please rate, review, subscribe, and share our show.

Today it’s Freedom Friday on Perry and Shawna Mornings with stories of the risen Jesus changing lives!  First, if you have felt deep shame, you know it.  When the feeling grips Perry, he feels like he's literally going to be sick.  And the message in that horrible feeling is, What you’ve done or what has been done to you is who you are and who you’ll always be.  There is no hope for you.   But Jesus is healing Perry from this shame and God has given him a fresh insight that has brought deeper healing.  If you struggle with shame, this conversation will be life-giving!  Then, when Ryan from White Cloud was a young rebel, far from God, Jesus saved him from drowning in Lake Michigan so that he could live to put his faith in Jesus.  If you've never taken hold of Jesus as your great rescuer, we hope Ryan’s story will move you to start following Jesus today.    Next, either you’re a judge.  A slave.  Or you’re free.  And you and I are living right now in one of these three ways.  In other words, either we think you’ve got the moral high ground, or we’re addicted, indulging, and enslaved by evil passions and pleasures, or you're free:  You're walking in humility because you know what you deserve for your sins, yet you're also walking in joy because you know you're getting what you don’t deserve, the free, full unconditional love of God.   The free life is how we we're designed to live, and free people change the world.    Next the great Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently said:  I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet, you know, to a fiery hell. Like, what type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn most of his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?  Perry agrees with Aaron.  Mostly.  Because Aaron’s not describing the God of the bible at all.  Finally, Perry’s friend John has a passion to reach Muslims with the love of Jesus.  And on a trip from Africa back to the US after changing his seat four times, he found himself sitting next to Fatima, a Muslim woman who was ready to hear the good news!  If today’s show encourages you, please share!

DOOMGuy takes on Deimos Lab, our favorite level so far! We talk about games we're currently playing and unknowingly immediately have to eat our words about Donkey Kong Country 2! We talk Final Fantasy and Donkey Kong Country…and we talk about DOOM (1993)! We talk the fantastic level design and remarkable difficulty of Deimos Lab. Also: We discuss the life and times of John Romero & John Carmack, but they're cancelled. And DOOM is cancelled. And God is cancelled. And have you heard of Final DOOM, the true DOOM 3? Because Aaron hasn't. We discuss that and other more obscure installments in the DOOM franchise!

(A video version of this episode can be viewed on our Engagious YouTube Channel here: https://youtu.be/Wek5M3a76F8) My guest for this podcast episode is Aaron Draplin, graphic designer, author and founder of Draplin Design Co. (DDC). Why would I interview a graphic designer on the Engagious Podcast? Because Aaron is not only an award-winning designer who's done amazing work for Nike, Burton Snowboards, Esquire, and Ford Motor Company among others, he's also an author and captivating speaker who's authentic style comes across not only in his craft but in his method of connecting with audiences of all shapes and sizes. I've been wanting to talk with Aaron for a long time to get the stories behind some of the projects he's work on like the Voyager 2 poster he did for NASA, designing a US Postage stamp, and developing the popular FIELD NOTES notebook brand.

Today Aaron Frost welcomes a very cool guest on My Angular Story, Aaron Ma who is an 11 year old software and hardware developer. Aaron mainly focuses on on web development, self driving cars, flying cars, robotics, Python, C++ and machine learning. Aaron started programming at the age of 5 by teaching himself HTML by watching YouTube videos. He then continued with an Introduction to CSS course. Aaron's father who is a full stack developer also encouraged and helped in his coding journey. Aaron Frost asks Aaron if he can remember what he learned from the first HTML video he watched and whether he thought it was hard to learn. Aaron Frost asks Aaron for tips on how parents can teach their kids how to program. Because Aaron has such an extensive background with programming already at age 11, Aaron Frost also wants to know how much and how Aaron's dad was involved with Aaron's learning process. Aaron Frost then wants to know how Aaron taught himself TensorFlow as well as what the developer community can do to support young developers such as himself. Finally Aaron Frost wants to know more about Aaron's interest in self-driving vehicles and whether he considers getting good grades a priority.

Many of us in sales have jumped into companies without a training process or guidance; we find ourselves winging it and wondering, “Where's my mentor?” Aaron Walker started in the business when he was 18 years old. At the age of 27, he sold to a Fortune 500 company and retired. Eighteen months later, his wife told him he was becoming fat and lazy; so he went back to work, purchased the company he first started and grew it four times in 10 years. It was all fun until the unimaginable happened in August 2001. Aaron accidentally killed a pedestrian with his car. It changed his life. He sold the business and spent the next five years learning how to deal with the tragedy. CHANGING HIS LEGACY In the process, he realized that his financial success lacked significance. He didn't want his legacy to be “‘enough money to retire at the age of 27.” Nobody cares. He wanted to make a change. He decided to spend his life encouraging and edifying others. Aaron changed the way he did business. He started looking outward more than inward and he gathered mentors to help him. His life began to take a very different path. With the help of several mentors he has worked with for more than two decades in a Mastermind group, Aaron launched his own coaching company, View From the Top. He now leads 14 mastermind groups in eight different countries to help people live a life of success and significance. ISOLATION IS THE ENEMY TO EXCELLENCE Aaron defines a mentor as somebody who will walk alongside you for an extended period of time, as opposed to a coach who helps you get through a certain point in life. Aaron has been with some of the same mentors for more than 40 years. They help him realize where he needs to go in life. Mentors are people who have been there/done that and whose core values coincide with your own. They are the people who want what is best for you rather than what is best for themselves.   For sales, in particular, mentors are crucial. Aaron believes that it is very difficult to grow and expand alone because we each have only one filter – one life experience that guides how we view things. THE VALUE OF MENTORS Other people see us differently than we see ourselves. As such, mentors can help realize your superpowers. They also help you understand your weaknesses and to see your blind spots. Having a mentor to point out what we would otherwise miss ourselves can be the very thing that puts us over the top. We have many obstacles and upper limit challenges that we need to push through. Trusted and unbiased advisors can point us in the right direction. Aaron recalls a guy in one of his mastermind groups that was putting together a course that was, in reality, absolutely terrible. Everything about it was terrible, but the group helped him tweak it and shape it into something amazing.   It's the same way in our lives. Aaron admits he lacks tact but never realized that many people viewed him as arrogant and condescending until his wife pointed it out to him. It was one of his blind spots. We need people around us who can help us out. We all know the overly confident, borderline cocky salespeople. Getting them to accept advice, to realize their blind spots and to be humble is tricky. Confidence is needed in sales but people don't buy arrogance and cockiness. There has to be a measure of humility. A mentor can help you get there. Surround yourselves in business, in marriage, in every area of your life with mentors that you trust to help you get where you want to go. WHERE'S MY MENTOR? To find a mentor, look for someone who has been married for a long time if you have questions about marriage. Find someone who has been in business for along time if you have questions about that. Look for someone who has nothing to lose, or gain, by talking to you. Family members are often biased in that regard because they want you to have what you want to have. You want someone who will give it to you straight. You have to be willing to subject yourself to scrutiny. You have to be willing to accept the truth in order to hear the truth. That is why masterminds are so profoundly helpful – you have 8-10 people with completely different life experiences at your disposal. They can take your great idea, look at it, and point out the things about it that you might not have thought of.  When you work with the same people over months or years, a pattern develops and they see it. Aaron has worked with the same counselor for decades. They talk when things are going well and when they aren't. Over that amount of time, the counselor realized that Aaron did something completely radical about once every 36 months. This type of behavior classifies Aaron as a ‘creator developer', rather than a ‘maintainer manager.' A creator developer is someone who gets bored easily and who doesn't like everything to be the same all the time. It explains why Aaron has had 12 businesses. He likes to develop and create. Because Aaron had a mentor who was able to point it out, Aaron can now plan accordingly. THE EBBS AND THE FLOWS Many young people don't have mentors while many people with experience to share aren't necessarily interested in reaching out. Aaron is hoping to connect the two. Mentors have changed Aaron's life in many ways. He remembers many ebbs and flows throughout his life. One dark time several years ago was particularly difficult. Aaron relied heavily upon his mastermind group at the time and met with them every week. He just could not get motivated but the group was there to listen. It went on for months. Then, one Saturday, Aaron got a call from one of the guys in the group. It was alarming at first because the group never spoke on the weekends but Aaron knew by the tone of his voice that it was good news. “I know you've been in a dark spot for a long time and I've been praying for you … but you are wearing the hell out of everybody in the group. You just keep on and on every week. Take the chains off from around your neck and move on,” he said. And then he hung up. Aaron was so mad at the audacity of the call. But then he started thinking. Realizing that his friend loved him enough to tell him the truth was the change he needed to get over it and to move forward. A casual friendship does not give that kind of hard truth.   You can not live the adventure you were meant to live alone. #FindYourPeople CLICK TO TWEET   Put down the facade and be vulnerable. That is where true strength starts. Surround yourself with people who know your good, your bad, and your ugly but who still care about you. It is the solid foundation that will allow you to become all you were created to be. “WHERE'S MY MENTOR?” EPISODE RESOURCES You can reach out to Aaron via his website, Viewfromthetop.com. His mastermind group, Iron Sharpens Iron (ISI), meets on a regular basis via video conference all over the world.

Because Aaron and Ryan get tired of listening to themselves talk (at least Ryan does) they invited Neil Gimon of Dreamchasers and Townes Mozer of Lenny Boy to talk more about beer rating sites. The guys get into rating sites like Untappd, Beer Advocate, and even Yelp. What do they really think of them and how do they use them to improve their products and their taprooms. As always, Between The Pints digresses into unscripted territories. This week it is the merits of Pacific Rim and John Wick as cinematic masterpieces. The guys thank Hygge Co-Working for the podcast space and teeho x VYVCH for the use of Soma as the opening and closing track. You can find more from Ryan at beercounselor.net and medium.com and Aaron at liquidassets.blog.  Until next week, Slainte! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/between-the-pints/support

I love what Yogi Aaron is doing in this world. He owns a yoga retreat business down in Costa Rica called Blue Osa. But it's no ordinary 'yoga retreat'. Because Aaron has combined the ideas and principles of yoga with his experience and knowledge in personal transformation in order to create something very special. And I absolutely love it! Plus, he is so inspirational and interesting to talk to. From being a pioneer of 'naked yoga', to having a near death experience in the Himalayas, to battling through self-doubt and launch his various business ventures... Aaron's story is truly worth a listen. So I highly recommend you hit the play button! In The Episode, We Talk About… Aaron's story from finding yoga to creating his dream business in stunning Costa Rica. The incredible story of how Aaron almost died mountain climbing in the Himalayas. How yoga helped Aaron to get through tremendous physical and emotional pain (and how you can use these principles too). A 3 step system to overcoming pain. How to find your source of joy. How your reaction to 'bad things' is more significant than the 'bad thing' itself. Getting over your self-doubts to create something amazing. What it feels like to find your purpose. And much more... Links Aaron's book >> "Autobiography of a Naked Yogi" Yogiaaron.com Blueosa.com "The Power of Now" by Eckhart Tolle Oprah Winfrey & Eckhart Tolle podcast "A New Earth" by Eckhart Tolle Alan Finger's website It was an honour to talk with Aaron and I highly recommend giving it a listen.

We were delighted to have Kat Heckenbach on the podcast this week! Kat is the author of Finding Angel & Seeking Unseen, both entries in the Toch Island Chronicles. With origins in biology, math, and art, her journey to become an author took a bit of circuitous route. We had a bit of technical difficulties with this podcast, so we apologize for a few blips here and there. I think Aaron suggests juggling a couple rabbits and/or tin foil for the next time. ;) Happenings In Part 1: With Kat’s background in biology, she shares how that informs the Toch Island Chronicles. The flora and fauna are very important details in her books! The Lord of the Rings is also discussed and how it figures into Kat’s favorite character in her books. There’s magically-powered electric guitars involved! (This, I gotta see!) With the biology background, it really feeds into how adamant Kat is about the setting of her books. I can’t recall if we’ve seen any of our guests so far be so firm about a story location! Reasons for writing fantasy abound, and there be sheep involved! And as we get into Kat’s answer to our superhero question, Aaron brings up some trivia about the making of The Avengers. Goings On In Part 2: As we shift into writing mode, we of course ask our plotting versus pantsing question. Kat’s answer involves a lot of notecards. Can you guess her answer? Because Aaron has an irreverent solution to her notecard “problem.” About that point in the show, we start plotting against Aaron’s neighbor’s tree….which continues to cause connectivity issues for the podcast. Getting back on track (is this a possibility with this bunch?), we talk about a lack of snacks and drinks with Kat and why that is. We hates research, Precious! That is why we writes fantasy! Every writer’s favorite part of the episode: Kat offers some of her favorite tips for marketing, and some are pretty off beat options, but definitely viable for most every author. Even though Kat’s is a well-known Harry Potter fan, her answer to our new fandom question may surprise you. But her favorite book is the Harry Potter series. Can you guess which one? And as we wrap things up with Kat for this time, her most surprising thing about being a writer may just surprise you as well. This and a whole lot more—with lots of laughing!—in this week’s episode.   Links to topics we discussed: Kat Heckenbach Finding Angel Seeking Unseen J.K.

Life changes when tragedy happens.  Aaron Walker was living a successful life when in 2001 he struck a pedestrian with his car killing him.  There were many lessons that Aaron keeps close to him from this event, most important is that he never forgets that his life could end at any moment.  Now as a Christian life and business coach Aaron says “Work like it depends on you and trust like it depends on the Lord.”   “Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters” - Colossians 3:23   Biggest Weakness - Not very compassionate confirmed by his wife.  Aaron does not know how to show his compassion. Biggest Strength - Discernment in business and with his family and friends. Aaron has been a Christ follower since 9 years old and tries to live in obedience with the Lord. Even as a successful businessman he starts his day through prayer and scripture. Aaron takes his coaching very seriously and prays every day for each client. Started early in business at 18 and sold his business at 27.  Started another business and then in 2001 hit a pedestrian who didn’t live. Aaron was arrogant and thought he was invincible until the accident. Aaron took about a 5 year break to learn how to change his life. He retired at 50 and has been in a mastermind group with Dave Ramsey and was told to start coaching. Aaron resisted the idea of coaching, but eventually started coaching and setting up mastermind groups online.   It is a Christian based business, but you don’t need to follow Christ to receive his coaching. Aaron never forgets that his life could be taken at any moment just like the man that he hit.  He never gets over it, but God helps him live with it. Because Aaron came from a very humble beginning he was very driven to succeed financially. Aaron does not believe in luck, but instead that success comes from where preparation meets opportunity.  Work like it depends on you and trust like it depends on the Lord. Money is important, but it can’t be the only reason you’re doing what you’re doing.  He believes relationships are more important.  It takes practice to fully engage in your relationships. We should honor our families more than anyone else, but the problem is that we don’t.  Families understand what’s important to you based on your actions. When we help people who can’t possibly repay us, we become truly generous.  Be significant with random acts of kindness. www.viewfromthetop.com/godsmen for a free gift.   For past shows and to learn more about the God's Men of Influence community, check us out atwww.godsmenofinfluence.org Join us on Facebook for our daily devotionals and updates and please like our page www.facebook.com/GodsMenOfInfluence        Help us spread the Word and please rate our show on itunes and leave comments for us.
