'He did not get up to talk about his party, his cause, his interest or his office', wrote J. C. Ryle of George Whitefield. 'He was perpetually telling you about your sins, your heart, Jesus Christ, the Holy Ghost, the absolute need of repentance, faith, and holiness, in the way that the Bible presents these mighty subjects.' This week we turn our attention to a man who, by God's grace, became a means in the salvation of thousands of souls in the eighteenth century.

In this episode of The Southern Naturalist, Dr. Bob and Dr. Aimée Thomas explore the slimy, strange, and surprisingly intelligent world of slime molds — with a special focus on the infamous Fuligo septica, also known as dog vomit slime mold. Despite its less-than-appealing nickname, this bright yellow protist is a marvel of biology.Slime molds are cosmopolitan species, meaning they can be found all over the world — from your backyard mulch pile to deep forest floors. While F. septica takes center stage, we also explore a range of other slime mold species and what they reveal about the natural world.These unique organisms have long defied easy classification. Though they're often mistaken for fungi, slime molds are actually protists — a fascinating group of life forms that blur the lines between what we think we know about cells, movement, and even behavior.We discuss how scientists use slime molds to study things like traffic flow and network optimization, how some slime molds can “solve” mazes, and how their behavior continues to baffle researchers. You'll also hear about the strange folklore that surrounds slime molds across cultures and why these humble blobs have captured the human imagination for centuries.Whether you're a slime mold skeptic or a full-blown myxomycophile, this episode is a deep dive into the gooey, brainy, and totally bizarre world of some of nature's most overlooked organisms.Follow @SoNatPodcast on Facebook and Instagram!Visit our website at https://lucec.loyno.edu/so-nat-podcast Do you have any more questions about nature?

In this episode of The Organisational Inclusionist, I sit down with Nadia Bob-Thomas, Head of DEI (Public Sector), for a powerful conversation about the challenges and realities Black women face in professional spaces. Nadia introduces the concept of the 'hidden resume'—the unspoken, often unseen work Black women do to navigate workplace dynamics and progress in their careers. We explore lived experiences, the impact of insufficient allyship, and how proactive mentorship can transform careers and workplaces alike. This episode is real, raw, and necessary. If you care about understanding barriers, supporting Black professionals, and creating truly inclusive spaces, download, like, and share this one. Trust me, you'll leave with insights you didn't know you needed. #theorganisationalinclusionist #hiddenresumes #blackwomen #allyship

In hindsight, he observes that Amazon Prime's exponential growth was actually an incremental daily process.“I used to say things like, ‘If God was running this plant, whoever is your God ... they can't violate physical laws. How well would they do?' And then we know where we are,” Jeff says.“If we're perfect in it, compounding over all this time, we're going to get there.

Sign-up for my free 20-day devotional, The Word Before Work Foundations, at http://TWBWFoundations.com--Series: Work in HeavenDevotional: 3 of 5Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on…for their deeds will follow them. (Revelation 14:13)A fortune teller once told Walt Disney that he would die on his birthday before he turned thirty-five. As Disney biographer Bob Thomas explains, “the prediction had a profound effect on him…he seemed to be in a race against time to accomplish all the work he wanted to do.” Can you relate to Walt Disney? Of feeling like time is speeding up and the drumbeat of hurry only seems to be growing louder? I used to feel that burden far more than I do today. What has God used to free me? Biblical truths about work on the New Earth in general and this one in particular: We can expect some continuity between our work now and our work on the New Earth. What kinds of continuity? At least these two. First, there will be some continuity in what we work with as Isaiah 60 promises that some of the best cultural goods from this life will miraculously be resurrected in the next one. The New Earth is not a return to the Stone Age. We can expect the very best work of all time as our starting point. Second, there may be some continuity in our occupations on the New Earth. Revelation 14:13 says, “Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on…for their deeds will follow them.” Pastor John Mark Comer points out that the Greek word for “deeds” here can also mean “occupation.” In other words, you may be working today at the craft God intends for you to develop for his glory for eternity! (If that sounds terrible to you, don't miss next week's devotional.)What should our response be to this promise of continuity between our work now and then? A remarkable lack of hurry today.This has been one of the most profound and surprising benefits of meditating on the promise of work on the New Earth personally. I am far less hurried than I used to be. I am at peace with the fact that I (and you) will die with unfinished symphonies. Because I know that if the things on my to-do list are on God's to-do list, he will either 1) choose someone else to complete that work, 2) complete the work on his own, or 3) bless me with the opportunity to finish the work when I rise from the nap that is death.I pray that as you meditate on these biblical truths, you will experience that same peace and lack of hurry in your own work today!

To learn how to invest in the future of Texas with Presario Ventures, visit info.presarioventures.com/bestever. In this episode, we delve into the world of commercial real estate investing with Bob Thomas, a seasoned investor with over a decade of experience. Join us as Bob shares valuable insights into his journey across various asset classes, the importance of partnerships, and strategies for navigating the ever-changing real estate market. Key Takeaways: The Power of Partnerships: Bob emphasizes the significance of forming strategic partnerships in real estate investing. Collaborative partnerships allow investors to leverage each other's strengths, pool resources, and pursue larger deals with greater efficiency. Aligning incentives and complementary skill sets within partnerships is essential for success. While Bob excels in capital raising and acquisitions, he acknowledges his weakness in construction project management. Partnering with experts in diverse areas can lead to creative and synergistic outcomes. Thinking Big and Setting Ambitious Goals: Bob draws inspiration from Stephen Schwarzman's book, "What It Takes," highlighting the importance of thinking big in real estate. He believes that if you're going to invest your time and effort, it's best to aim for substantial goals that challenge you. Setting big, hairy, audacious goals (BHAGs) can push investors in the right direction. Bob's goal is to grow his portfolio to a trillion dollars in assets under management, emphasizing that a big vision drives progress and innovation. Educating for Financial Literacy: Bob's commitment to financial education extends beyond real estate investing. He actively engages in financial literacy talks, teaching both investors and school children about creating generational wealth, passive income, and sound financial practices. Recognizing the importance of breaking free from a traditional W-2 mindset, Bob believes that introducing children to alternative paths early in life can help them make informed financial decisions and plan for a prosperous future.
