The host discusses the president's crime crackdown in Washington, D.C., where he has declared a public safety emergency and appointed Attorney General Pam Bondi to take command of the Metropolitan Police Department, and Terry Cole as the interim federal commissioner. The host links the city's high crime rates, which he claims are higher than those in Bogota and Mexico City, to "Marxist" policies allegedly pushed by Democrats. The episode features an NBC News report revealing that a D.C. police commander is under investigation for manipulating crime statistics to make it appear as though violent crime has fallen. The chairman of the police union confirms this, alleging that officers are being instructed by supervisors to reclassify felonies as lesser offenses to create a misleading picture of public safety. The show then pivots to the erosion of parental rights, focusing on a new Illinois law that mandates annual mental health screenings for students from third to twelfth grade. The host expresses concern that this policy is a deliberate attempt to drive a wedge between parents and children, promoting a specific ideology and potentially leading to children being removed from their homes. He also claims that the push for these mental health screenings is financially motivated, with a connection to a company whose CEO is the son-in-law of former Attorney General Merrick Garland.
In this episode of the Colombia Calling podcast, host Richard McColl discusses the upcoming elections in Colombia with Sergio Guzmán and Isy Hawes from Colombia Risk Analysis.

On today’s episode of the Cops and Writers Podcast, I have with me Author and Retired DEA Agent Wes Tabor. There was so much to unpack about his incredible career in law enforcement and his accomplishments off duty that this is my first three-part interview. Part two of the interview that will go live next Sunday, and part three with be released the next day on Monday. Honestly, I could have talked to Wes all day. I will definitely have him back on the show in the future. Here's a quick bio of just some of Wes’s accomplishments. Wes became a Hernando County Sheriff’s Deputy in 1988. As a deputy, Wes served as a S.W.A.T. lead, having completed the FBI S.W.A.T. school in 1995. Wes was a Defensive Tactics Instructor, anti-crime and property Detective, and earned the Florida Medal of Valor in 1996 for his heroism by disregarding his own safety, running into an apartment fire, saving multiple lives, and Mittens the cat. In 1998, he was hired by the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA). Wes had a 23-year career with the DEA and has been stationed in Field Divisions such as: St. Louis, Miami, Chicago, D.C., Los Angeles, and internationally in cities such as Guatemala City, Guatemala, Caracas, Venezuela, Cartagena, Colombia, and Bogota, Colombia. During this time, he was representing the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) in positions such as: supervisory special agent, country attaché, assistant country attaché, Deputy Section Chief, Assistant to the Global Deputy Chief of Operations, and Assistant Special Agent in Charge. Wes was paralyzed in an auto accident where a drunk driver and career criminal had been at fault. Fortunately, he recovered from his spinal cord injury (C5/6) fracture and went back to being a DEA agent. The suspect later absconded and was on the run for 23 years, only to be captured in 2024. He was given probation for 6 months by a local judge in Minnesota. From 2012-2015, Wes was assigned to the Central Intelligence Agency as an Assignee to various locations in the Western Hemisphere, conducting various classified activities on behalf of the DEA while embedded with the CIA. He has worked with some of the most prestigious law enforcement and military agencies, conducting operations and training modules, with the FBI, Secret Service, Defense Intelligence Service, US Army Special Forces, and Navy Seals. As a DEA agent, rising through the ranks to Assistant Special Agent in Charge in Los Angeles, he was the division's Strike Force Commander, where he oversaw global money-laundering investigations, High Value Mexican Cartel Investigation, and led his teams in pursuit of some of the largest cases on the globe. I told you there’s a lot to Wes’s story! Today’s episode is more focused on his beginnings and his heroism. We will get to more incredible stuff in the next two episodes. In today’s episode, we discuss: · Thank you to Chris Feistl for the intro. · An unlikely role model growing up. · The positive influence of the police explorer program on him as a youth. · His time in Florida as a Sheriff’s Deputy, working in SWAT, the detective bureau, and as a D.A.A.T. instructor. · Running into a fire and saving multiple people, and Mittens the cat. · Receiving the Florida Medal of Valor for his heroic actions. · Social media and law enforcement today. · What he sees as the weaknesses or strengths in law enforcement training today.

One Year Bible Podcast: Join Hunter and Heather Barnes on 'The Daily Radio Bible' for a daily 20-minute spiritual journey. Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for August 4th, 2025, join your host Hunter as we journey together through the Bible, warming our hearts by the fires of God's love. Today's readings take us from the remarkable reign of King Josiah—who discovers the long-lost Book of the Law and leads the people in repentance—to the miraculous moment when Jesus feeds the five thousand and declares Himself the Bread of Life in John 6. We'll reflect on how God's Word can be hidden in plain sight—both in ancient temples and in our own busy lives—and what it means to truly seek, see, and be satisfied by the living Word. Along with thoughtful readings, Hunter will guide us in prayer, encouraging us to find hope, joy, and transformation as we behold Jesus together. So wherever you're tuning in from—whether the Bronx or Bogota—settle in for a time of reflection, scripture, and heartfelt community. Let's get started! TODAY'S DEVOTION: For generations, the Word of God was lost to God's people—even lost right where you would expect to find it, right in the temple. But no one was looking. No one was listening. King Josiah, by God's providence, would eventually find it. When it was read, it broke his heart and drove him to deep repentance. In our reading from John today, we see that once again the Living Word is right where you would expect to find him: among God's people, in the synagogue. And yet, he's hidden in plain sight. Jesus is present, performing miracles, feeding the multitudes, walking on water. All of this points unmistakably to who he truly is—the Bread of Life, the Living Word made flesh. Yet, many still do not see him. They are distracted by their own needs, their own expectations. Their eyes are on the gifts, not on the Giver. The living Word can be lost in the midst of ruins—the ruins of our past, the self-indulgence of our lives. The living Word can even be lost among God's people when we lose sight of him, even when he is right before us. Jesus challenges the crowds because they are looking for provision instead of understanding the signs; they are preoccupied with the food that perishes, instead of seeking the eternal life he offers. He tells them, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry again.” He invites us not simply to look for what we want, but to see who he is. The one who satisfies, who fills the emptiness within, who gives us himself. It is a call to shift our focus—from ourselves and our anxieties, to him, the One who has come down from heaven for us. We see it in Josiah, who, when confronted with the Word, tears his clothes in repentance, realizing how far the people had strayed. We see it in Peter, who after witnessing Jesus' power and presence, falls to his knees and confesses his own brokenness and need. We find Jesus, the Bread of Life, at the center of it all—our true sustenance, our source of life. Are we seeing the Word of God that is right before us? Are we letting our hearts be satisfied—not by what we can acquire, but by who he is? Are we, like Josiah, like Peter, humbling ourselves before the living Word, turning from what is perishable to what is eternal? May you see the bread that has been hidden in plain sight. May you take it, eat, and be satisfied. That's my prayer for my own soul, for my family—my wife, my daughters, my son—and that's a prayer I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Loving God, you have knit us together in the body of Christ from every nation and tongue. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Make us a vessel of your peace today. Where hatred stirs, let us bear your love. Where wounds run deep, let us be agents of pardon. Where fear grips hearts, may we speak faith. Where sorrow hangs heavy, may we carry joy. Teach us to listen more than we speak. To understand before we are understood. To love. For in surrender we find abundance. In mercy, we discover grace. And in dying, we rise into your life. In the name of Jesus. Amen. And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Ezequiel 37:13 “Y sabréis que yo soy Jehová, cuando abra vuestros sepulcros, y os saque de vuestras sepulturas, pueblo mío”.Tenemos que empezar a llevar una vida consagrada a Dios, una vida que no busca satisfacción propia mediante un estilo de vida pecaminoso, sino que se ha entregado a Dios y a Su voluntad; no es una vida perfecta, es una vida santificada, apartada y rendida a Dios.Para iniciar debemos preguntarnos: ¿Cómo espero yo que mi vida y la de mi familia camine por sendas correctas, que tenga un buen futuro, que tenga un buen final, que mis generaciones sean sanadas; sino comienzo por mi?. Dios primero llama a un individuo y comienza una obra transformadora en él, así que, comienza por ti, adquiere un compromiso serio, conságrate a Dios y luego Él lo hará con tu familia.En la Biblia encontramos varios ejemplos de personas que fueron llamados por Dios, para cumplir diferentes misiones. En tres de esos casos hay algo que es común, ante el llamado, esas tres personas optaron por presentar excusas ante Dios, con el fin de no cumplir la misión.El primero de esos llamados, es el llamado de Dios a Moisés, que encontramos en Éxodo capítulos 3 y 4. Moisés había sido salvado milagrosamente de las aguas, adoptado como hijo por la hija del Faraón de Egipto. Fue educado allí, con todos los beneficios propios de su condición, pero bajo la tutoría directa de su propia madre y hermana. Luego de un episodio triste en el cual dio muerte a un egipcio que golpeaba a un hebreo, tuvo que huir al desierto, para luego emparentarse con Jetro, al casarse con su hija Séfora.Estando en ese desierto de Madián, mientras cuidaba los rebaños de su suegro, «Éxodo 3», tuvo una extraordinaria visión, un encuentro con Dios, en medio del cual recibe su llamamiento para liderar la liberación de su pueblo esclavizado en Egipto. El llamamiento es claro, la tarea a ejecutar es clara, la misión es una sola. Pero Moisés empieza a argumentar ante Dios múltiples razones que él considera son obstáculos para cumplir con el llamado de Dios.A partir de Éxodo 3:11 y hasta Éxodo 4:13, Moisés usa una y otra y otra excusa para no cumplir la tarea encomendada por Dios. Cosas como, por ejemplo: «No me creerán»; «Quién soy yo»; «no soy hombre de fácil palabra» etc, etc, etc. Moisés, al igual que muchos de nosotros, buscamos en nuestro ser “debilidades”, “falencias”, “limitaciones”, o planteamos que otros están mejor preparados para esa misión, «que quizá no estamos listos todavía»; estoy seguro que Dios nunca llamará a una persona a cumplir una tarea, que le deje en ridículo a Él mismo. Cuando recibes un llamado de Dios a servir en su obra, no pienses quién eres, o qué tienes, piensa que si Él te llama es porque Él conoce tus fortalezas y tus debilidades, Él no se equivoca al asignar una tarea.El segundo llamado es el del profeta Jeremías; Este relato lo encontramos en Jeremías 1:1-19. Jeremías era hijo de Hilcias, uno de los sacerdotes en Anatot. Una de las particularidades de este llamado, es que Dios le dice al profeta en Jeremías 1:5, que Él lo conocía desde el vientre materno, esto hace que sea un llamado pre-establecido; desde su nacimiento ya Jeremías había sido escogido por Dios, por lo tanto Dios no se equivoca al llamar a una persona. Dios no sólo lo había llamado desde el vientre materno, sino que también lo había santificado desde su nacimiento.¿Cuál fue la actitud de Jeremías ante el llamado de Dios? muy similar a la de Moisés, se mira a sí mismo, analiza sus condiciones, evalúa el llamado y la dimensión de la tarea, pensando en él y no en quién lo estaba llamando y comisionando. En Jeremías 1:6 dice “Señor Jehová, he aquí no sé hablar, porque soy niño”. En realidad, el profeta Jeremías era ya un hombre, desde el punto de vista físico y emocional, por lo que aquí evidencia, es la manera cómo se sentía, ante la magnitud de la misión.Dios le dijo tres cosas importantes: «No digas soy un niño» «no temas» y «estoy contigo para librarte»… Luego con su mano toca la boca del profeta Jeremías y dice: «He puesto mis palabras en tu boca», por lo tanto, no debemos angustiarnos pensando qué diremos, en su tiempo, Dios pondrá palabras adecuadas y pertinentes en nuestra boca.El tercer relato es el llamado del profeta Jonás, lo encontramos en el libro de Jonás, en los primeros versículos del capítulo 1. Jonás era hijo de Amitai y recibió un llamado de parte de Dios, con un mensaje muy claro y una dirección clara. Debía ir a Nínive, pregonar contra ella el juicio, a causa de la maldad de ese pueblo.¿Cuál fue la actitud de Jonás? Bueno, a diferencia de los anteriores llamados, él no argumenta contra Dios, ni le presenta excusas, solamente toma la decisión de huir, de ir a una población que estaba localizada muy lejos del lugar que Dios le había indicado. Se fue muy lejos, en lugar de ir a Nínive, se fue a Tarsis. Cuál pudo ser la verdadera razón de esta decisión de Jonás, no lo sabemos exactamente, pero probablemente era parte del pueblo judío que consideraba que Dios era el Dios sólo de Israel, y que su gracia y su misericordia eran sólo para el pueblo judío; en síntesis, Jonás no “pelea” con Dios, más bien, decide ir a otro lado, no cumplir la misión, dándole a entender a Dios, que no está de acuerdo con el contenido de la tarea. Lo demás es historia, todos la conocemos, sabemos que finalmente fue a cumplir la misión, a regañadientes, pero lo hizo, luego de sufrir múltiples adversidades y dolores. A veces aprender a escuchar detenidamente a Dios y, particularmente obedecerle, es una tarea bastante difícil, por nuestra propia naturaleza egoísta y pecaminosa.Como mencioné en el artículo, tu yo formamos parte de esos siervos que Dios está enviando a la mies, si Dios te llamó, Él te respaldará, te capacitará y te guiará a cumplir tu misión.En este tiempo y por causa de no aceptar el llamado de Dios, vemos que las familias de la tierra están en bancarrota espiritual, emocional, económica y moral. Ante esto yo te invito a asumir la responsabilidad del cumplimiento de la promesa que el Señor nos ha entregado escrita en Malaquías 4:6; tenemos que volver a Dios, tenemos que tener fe y dejar el temor, Dios está en control, recuerda que el temor te paraliza, la fe te levanta y hace que avances a pesar de las dificultades.Pero tenemos por delante una fuerza espiritual adversa que se encuentra en medio del mundo, el cual ha afectado mucho al pueblo de Dios, hasta tal punto que hemos permitido el fracaso emocional, sexual, espiritual y familiar, El mundo ha inundado con sus filosofías a los hombres y esto se ha introducido en la iglesia cristiana y se ha regado hasta tal punto que muchos llaman a lo “malo bueno y a lo bueno malo”.Nosotros fuimos puestos en el mundo para predicar el evangelio, fuimos puestos en el mundo para llevar a muchos a los pies de Cristo comenzando por los nuestros, por tal razón debemos trazar una linea donde podamos identificar nuestro llamado y comenzar a ponerlo por obra. Aquí te muestro tres flagelos que atacan nuestras vidas, familias y descendencias.La maldad ha llegado hasta el cielo, y muchos saben hacer lo bueno y no lo hacen y la palabra dice “Y el que sabe hacer lo bueno y no lo hace, le es pecado”, Santiago 4:17. Es el tiempo de levantarnos e ir tras el propósito de restaurar, restituir familias y descendientes, de hacer lo que es importante.La verdad me permite ir a la dirección correcta, me permite confiar en el Señor y en Sus mandamientos y en los planes y propósitos que el Señor tiene para mi vida, mi hogar y mi familia, porque El es la Verdad y la vida. La mentira se encuentra en nuestras calles, en nuestros ho...

Juan 5:5 “Y había allí un hombre que hacía treinta y ocho años que estaba enfermo”.Una parálisis es la pérdida total o parcial del movimiento en una o más partes del cuerpo, y generalmente ocurre cuando hay un problema con el sistema nervioso, especialmente el cerebro, la médula espinal o los nervios periféricos.Cuando hablamos de «parálisis espiritual» la Palabra se refiere a una condición en la que una persona pierde su capacidad de avanzar en su vida espiritual, de responder a Dios, o de cumplir con su propósito, debido a heridas, incredulidad, pecado, o falta de fe. Esta experiencia, que tal vez muchos de nosotros hemos o estamos enfrentado en algún momento de nuestro camino de fe, se manifiesta como un estancamiento espiritual, una sensación de desmotivación, o una desconexión profunda en nuestra relación con Dios.A menudo, la parálisis espiritual se arraiga en nuestra vida debido a una serie de consecuencias: Dudas que nublan nuestra fe, los constantes obstáculos que encontramos en la vida diaria o incluso el desgaste que proviene del ajetreo constante de nuestras rutinas.Esta situación espiritual puede parecer un laberinto sin salida, donde los caminos de la oración y la comunión con Dios parecen desvanecerse. Sin embargo, es crucial reconocer que la parálisis espiritual no es un destino final, sino más bien un punto en nuestro viaje espiritual que nos invita a buscar un cambio profundo y significativo.En el día de hoy, estudiaremos cómo podemos identificar la presencia de parálisis en nuestras vidas, parálisis física, emocional y espiritual. A través de la sabiduría de las Escrituras, y la revelación de Dios, buscaremos maneras de romper las cadenas de la inmovilidad física, emocional y espiritual en nuestras vidas, familias y descendencias.La parálisis es un espiritu inmundo que te impide el movimiento, el avance; un espiritu que te impide reaccionar, actuar, alcanzar tus metas y propositos, que aunque lo tengas enfrente no puedes alcanzarlo.Muchos creyentes enfrentan el día de hoy desanimo, en ocasiones también les falta fe, quizá porque no han visto el cumplimiento de sus promesas y empiezan a caer en un círculo vicioso del cual se vuelven víctimas; todo esto los lleva a un enfriamiento espiritual que termina apartándolos de Dios y de la iglesia; empiezan a dejar de congregarse, no oran, dejan de leer la Biblia, no tienen momentos de intimidad y comunión con Dios y al final ese espiritu inmundo trae “flojera espiritual” que luego los convierten en paralíticos.El libro de Juan 5 registra la sanidad del paralítico de Bethesda, este hombre se había acomodado tanto a esta condición que se volvió víctima de su propia condición y el Señor le hace la pregunta: ¿Quieres ser sano?…Cuando miro con detenimiento este pasaje, me doy cuenta que la respuesta a la sanidad de la parálisis tanto física, emocional y espiritual, está en el que la padece, tú eres el único que puede decidir si quedarse en esa condición o levantarse y seguir corriendo la carrera.Juan nos detalla la creencia religiosa popular que había surgido en relación con el estanque de Bethesda y que sirve para explicar el porqué había tantos enfermos reunidos a su alrededor: "Porque un ángel descendía de tiempo en tiempo al estanque, y agitaba el agua; y el que primero descendía al estanque después del movimiento del agua, quedaba sano de cualquier enfermedad que tuviese”. No debemos pensar que esta creencia fuera cierta, o al menos no hay nada en el texto que nos haga pensar que esto fuese real, esto era lo que creía el paralítico al que sanó Jesús, y otros muchos que estaban allí en una situación parecida; si lo pensamos bien, el "ángel que descendía de tiempo en tiempo al estanque" era bastante cruel, “todo lo contrario a la función de los ángeles del cielo”, porque aunque venía a sanarlos, los hacía esperar indefinidamente, para llegado el momento, obligarlos a luchar con todas sus dificultades para llegar al estanque antes que los otros. Podemos imaginarnos el patético espectáculo cuando por alguna razón comenzara a moverse el agua. De repente, aquella multitud de ciegos, cojos y paralíticos estarían luchando entre ellos, arrastrándose como pudieran, golpeándose unos contra otros en un esfuerzo desesperado por ser los primeros en llegar al agua. Este paralítico es tipo de personas impotentes para poder salir de su condición. rodeado de personas que están en la misma condición (todas enfermas), como almas sin salvación; paralítico (sin la posibilidad de moverse) y poder salir de su condición lo cual les imposibilita romper las cadenas que las atan. Quieren escapar de su actual condición, pero no pueden, tienen sus esperanzas cifradas en un estanque, en un golpe de suerte, en un por si acaso, en un vamos a ver que pasa, por tal razón es necesario dejar el estanque y dirigirse a la fuente de agua viva que salta para vida eterna. En este caso, la fuente vino al estanque.¿QUIERES SER SANO? No era una pregunta obvia, era una pregunta necesaria, Jesús necesitaba saber si este hombre realmente quería salir de Bethesda y cambiar su condición actual, el Señor necesitaba saber si realmente este hombre ya estaba resignado a lo que le venía pasando en su vida en los últimos 38 años, hoy el Señor te pregunta: ¿Quieres?, entonces, Toma tu lecho y anda…La resignación es la hija de la frustración, 38 años de frustración marcaron negativamente la vida de este nombre, de tal manera que le impedía ver su milagro; muchas veces estamos tan acostumbrados a lo que estamos viviendo que lo consentimos en nuestra vida; la enfermedad, el dolor, la ruina, la escasez, la oscuridad, el desánimo, el dolor, trastornos de ansiedad, depresión, bipolaridad, trastornos compulsivos, trastornos causados por traumas emocionales, físicos, espirituales, en fin, la lista es larga…El Señor estaba abordando el problema en su misma raíz. Porque aunque nos pueda parecer extraño, hay muchas personas que están enfermas y prefieren continuar en su estado, ya que éste les atrae la simpatía, lastima y la ayuda de otros. Esto se percibe con total claridad cuando reflexionamos acerca del estado espiritual del hombre. ¿Cuántos hay que a pesar de tantos fracasos en la vida, no quieren acudir a Dios en busca de una solución a su situación? Viven sin poder escapar de su dilema personal, de los problemas y el vacío de su alma, y sin embargo se niegan a ser sanados moral y espiritualmente. A pesar de que se sienten totalmente insatisfechos con su situación, prefieren resignarse como excusa para no hacer nada y así seguir viviendo de la misma manera que les causa sus problemas. Por lo tanto, la pregunta con la que Jesús inició la conversación tenía como propósito que aquel hombre manifestara que realmente quería ser sanado.El paralítico había perdido toda esperanza de ser sanado, y le explica al Señor todos los problemas que encontraba para llegar a la única solución que él conocía. Después de tantos años de perseverar sin descanso en lo que no solucionaba su problema, había llegado a darse por vencido. Pero lo más grave de su estado era que cuando Jesús se presentó ante él, su frustración le impedía darse cuenta de que tenía delante de sí la verdadera solución a su situación. Por otro lado, también aprovechó la ocasión para dar rienda suelta a su amargura y culpar a otros, lo cierto es que así somos los seres humanos. En realidad, tal como aquí se nos presenta a este hombre, podemos decir que es un símbolo de la impotencia espiritual de todos los hombres, porque lo reconozcamos o no, todos nosotros somos totalmente incapaces de ayudarnos a nosotros mismos para cambiar las graves consecuencias que el pecado ha traído sobr...

Clearing the FOG with co-hosts Margaret Flowers and Kevin Zeese
On July 17, as The Hague Group, a coalition of nations committed to diplomatic and legal actions to end the genocide in Palestine, held an emergency summit in Bogota, Colombia, civil society groups also met to launch the Friends of The Hague Group (FoTHG). The FoTHG was convened by Palestinian organizations and joined by major international movements to support and expand The Hague Group, but also to challenge it to place Palestinian demands at the forefront and to take strong actions. Clearing the FOG speaks with Jacqueline Luqman of the Black Alliance for Peace, a member of the FoTHG, about the launch, what US activists can learn from collaborating with other social movements, and why it is a critical time to organize new multilateral anti-imperialist and anti-colonialist structures.

In this episode, Laura chats to Melissa Bruntlett about her new book, Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation.Melissa is an urbanist, author, and founder of Modacity, an urban mobility consultancy - and one half of urbanist power couple, Chris and Melissa Bruntlett. Melissa and Chris have authored two books to date, Building the Cycling City, and Curbing Traffic. Their social media posts from around the world feature positive examples of change, and inspiration for other cities and advocates. Originally from Canada, the couple have settled in the Netherlands, and often share experiential learning from one of the world's greatest cycling nations. The book's narrative begins with pandemic street changes, and asks what was going on, beyond the public health emergency, that allowed the urban landscape to change? Why can cities do things differently at certain points in time, and how are women a part of that. The Bruntletts argue it's about listening and being humble, and taking that listening and humility with you into streetspace solutions. There are stories from leadership in Paris, Barcelona, Montreal and Bogota. There is also a grassroots angle, looking at a groundswell from young people in Manila, that spurred bike lanes in the city.The book: Women Changing Cities: Global Stories of Urban Transformation, by Melissa and Chris Bruntlett, is out in October 2025: https://www.ribabooks.com/Women-Changing-Cities-Global-stories-of-urban-transformation_9781915722409Melissa's project, Modacity Creative: https://modacitycreative.com/Melissa and Chris' work: https://www.modacitylife.com/For ad-free listening, behind-the-scenes and bonus content and to help support the podcast - head to (https://www.patreon.com/StreetsAheadPodcast).

Romanos 13:7 “Pagad a todos lo que debéis: al que tributo, tributo; al que impuesto, impuesto; al que respeto, respeto; al que honra, honra”.Este es uno de temas mas importantes que los hijos de Dios tenemos que entender y comprender: La honra, es uno de los regalos mas grandes que el Señor nos ha dado, es el vínculo protector de las relaciones.La primera relación que el hombre experimenta en la vida es con los padres y la única manera de proteger esta relación es a través de la honra, Éxodo 20:12 “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que tus días se alarguen en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da”, Mateo 15:3-4 “Respondiendo él, les dijo: ¿Por qué también vosotros quebrantáis el mandamiento de Dios por vuestra tradición? Porque Dios mandó diciendo: Honra a tu padre y a tu madre”, Efesios 6:2-3 “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, que es el primer mandamiento con promesa; para que te vaya bien, y seas de larga vida sobre la tierra”.Otra de las relaciones importantes que tenemos en el transcurso de nuestra vida es el matrimonio, con el cual conformamos un hogar; El apóstol Pablo declara en Hebreos 13:4 “Honroso sea en todos el matrimonio, y el lecho sin mancilla; pero a los fornicarios y a los adúlteros los juzgará Dios”. Sino hay honra, los matrimonios colapsan. Pero la honra en la familia no se limita a los cónyuges, va de los padres a los hijos y de los hijos a los padres, debemos honrarlos con las palabras y las acciones. (Podemos extender esta parte hablando de las expresiones y palabras que usamos contra nuestro cónyuge y con nuestros hijos).Cuando se trata de Dios, Él espera que nosotros vivamos de tal manera que nuestra vida le honre, cuando no hay honra la vida se agrieta y se daña; honrar a Dios es aprender a darle el primer lugar en todo. Cuando le damos el primer lugar a Dios se activa un poder y una unción sobre natural en nuestras vidas, esto no se trata de dinero, se trata de un corazón que dice “No hay nada ni nadie mas importante que Dios”, el que honra a Dios no solo se esta beneficiando asi mismo, está beneficiando a sus próximas generaciones, por tal razón aprende a colocar a Dios en primer lugar y todo en tu vida va a ser transformado.Dios se revela al hombre en su conciencia, en su interior y en la creación de una manera clara y evidente, por tanto es imposible que el ser humano no pueda deducir y concluir que hay un creador detrás de todo lo creado; Romanos 1:20 dice "Porque las cosas invisibles de él, su eterno poder y deidad, se hacen claramente visibles desde la creación del mundo, siendo entendidas por medio de las cosas hechas, de modo que no tienen excusa”, el hombre no tiene excusa para no honrar a Dios.Por todo esto Pablo hace un reclamo a los Romanos, y hoy lo hace directamente a la iglesia “Aunque conocen a Dios, no lo honran como a Dios, ni le dan gracias” y añade que las consecuencias son evidentes: Se hicieron vanos en sus razonamientos y su necio corazón fue entenebrecido. Aquí hay dos aspectos importantes que enseñar a la iglesia, uno de ellos es honrar a Dios y el otro es la gratitud a Dios.¿Que es honrar a Dios? Es reconocerlo como el Dios soberano sobre toda la creación, como el ser de mayor dignidad, de mayor Gloria, de mayor autoridad y de mayor bondad, es glorificar a Dios exaltando sus atributos. Es muy fácil para nosotros ir a alabar a Dios y agradecerle por todo. Pero deshonrar a Dios es aun MÁS fácil; Salmos 36:1-4 “La iniquidad del impío me dice al corazón: No hay temor de Dios delante de sus ojos. Se lisonjea, por tanto, en sus propios ojos, de que su iniquidad no será hallada y aborrecida. Las palabras de su boca son iniquidad y fraude; Ha dejado de ser cuerdo y de hacer el bien. Medita maldad sobre su cama; Está en camino no bueno”.Y quiero mostrar lo que ocurrió tanto en el antiguo testamento con Nabucodonosor, asi como en el nuevo testamento con Herodes por no honrar a Dios.Nabucodonosor deshonró a Dios con solo hablar: “Habló el rey, y dijo: ¿No es ésta la gran Babilonia, que yo edifiqué para casa del reino, con la fuerza de mi poder, y para gloria de mi grandeza?... En la misma hora se cumplió la palabra sobre Nabucodonosor, y fue echado de entre los hombres; y comía hierba como los bueyes, y su cuerpo se bañaba con el rocío del cielo, hasta que su pelo creció como de águila, y sus uñas como de aves”; Daniel 4:29-33 “Al cabo de doce meses, paseando en el palacio real de Babilonia, habló el rey y dijo: ¿No es esta la gran Babilonia que yo edifiqué para casa real con la fuerza de mi poder, y para gloria de mi majestad? Aún estaba la palabra en la boca del rey, cuando vino una voz del cielo: A ti se te dice, rey Nabucodonosor: El reino ha sido quitado de ti; y de entre los hombres te arrojarán, y con las bestias del campo será tu habitación, y como a los bueyes te apacentarán; y siete tiempos pasarán sobre ti, hasta que reconozcas que el Altísimo tiene el dominio en el reino de los hombres, y lo da a quien él quiere. En la misma hora se cumplió la palabra sobre Nabucodonosor, y fue echado de entre los hombres; y comía hierba como los bueyes, y su cuerpo se mojaba con el rocío del cielo, hasta que su pelo creció como plumas de águila, y sus uñas como las de las aves”.Herodes deshonro a Dios y un ángel descendió y lo hirió y fue comido por los gusanos; Hechos 12:21-23 "Y un día señalado, Herodes, vestido de ropas reales, se sentó en el tribunal y les arengó. Y el pueblo aclamaba gritando: ¡Voz de Dios, y no de hombre! Al momento un ángel del Señor le hirió, por cuanto no dio la gloria a Dios; y expiró comido de gusanos”.Cuando en nuestro corazón hay un espíritu de deshonra nos convertimos en hombres amadores de sí mismos, amadores de los placeres más que de Dios, avaros, jactanciosos, soberbios, blasfemos, desobedientes a los padres, ingratos, irreverentes; 2 Timoteo 3:1-5 “También debes saber esto: que en los postreros días vendrán tiempos peligrosos. Porque habrá hombres amadores de sí mismos, avaros, vanagloriosos, soberbios, blasfemos, desobedientes a los padres, ingratos, impíos, sin afecto natural, implacables, calumniadores, intemperantes, crueles, aborrecedores de lo bueno, traidores, impetuosos, infatuados, amadores de los deleites más que de Dios, que tendrán apariencia de piedad, pero negarán la eficacia de ella; a estos evita”.Los cristianos debemos reconocer que todo lo que tenemos es un regalo, Dios nos ha dado todo: la vida, la salvación y todo lo que forma parte de la vida en este mundo y en el venidero. Cada día, cada momento, debería estar lleno de acciones de gracias. Dios es bueno, y todo lo que Él hace y otorga es para nuestro bien.Quiero mostrar a través de un relato Bíblico en el libro de 1 Reyes 17:8-24, el poder de la honra: La viuda de Sarepta, el milagro de la obediencia y la honra.Y quiero comenzar por el final: “La viuda de Sarepta se fue e hizo conforme a la palabra de Elías; y ella, él y su familia comieron durante muchos días. La harina de la tinaja no se agotó, ni se agotó el aceite de la vasija, conforme a la palabra que el Señor había hablado por medio de Elías”.La historia de la viuda de Sarepta comienza mientras está en la puerta recogiendo leña para poder ir a casa y preparar el último bocado de comida para ella y su hijo. En su mente había un pensamiento de muerte: “El fin está cerca, mi hijo y yo comeremos el último bocado de alimento que tenemos y luego moriremos”.Dios decidió tomar la vida del profeta Elías y entrelazarla con la de la viuda, Elías se presentó ante el rey Acab y profetizó: «...en los próximos años habrá una sequía total, sin una gota de rocío ni de lluvia, a menos que y...

Britain's Austerity TrapWhy is one of the world's richest countries still behaving like it's broke?In this episode of Explaining History, we dive into Yanis Varoufakis's searing critique of Britain's ongoing austerity dilemma under the new Labour government. Despite hopes for change, Chancellor Rachel Reeves faces the same iron cage of fiscal rules, banker subsidies, and Treasury orthodoxy that has strangled public spending for decades.We unpack the hidden costs of so-called “zombie austerity,” from unerfunded public services to a staggering £34 billion annual transfer from taxpayers to banks. Is Britain trapped by myths of fiscal discipline and “credit card economics”—or is there a way out?Join us as we explore the structural forces keeping Britain stuck in austerity's shadow—and what a truly radical economic alternative might look like.Also, follow events in Bogota and steps to end the genocide in Gaza here and here*****STOP PRESS*****I only ever talk about history on this podcast but I also have another life, yes, that of aspirant fantasy author and if that's your thing you can get a copy of my debut novel The Blood of Tharta, right here:Help the podcast to continue bringing you history each weekIf you enjoy the Explaining History podcast and its many years of content and would like to help the show continue, please consider supporting it in the following ways:If you want to go ad-free, you can take out a membership hereOrYou can support the podcast via Patreon hereOr you can just say some nice things about it here Hosted on Acast.

Proverbios 12:3 “El hombre no se afirmará por medio de la impiedad; Mas la raíz de los justos no será removida”.Millones de creyentes hablan como si Dios fuera real y actúan como si no lo fuera, somos cristianos no por la manera como hablamos sino por la forma como actuamos; si en lo que tu crees no gobierna tu vida, entonces tu creencia es falsa y se convierte en una pseudo creencia, ya que nuestro sistema de creencia debemos mostrarla en todo momento en la vida práctica; en otras palabras: “Lo que yo creo es lo que yo vivo”.Vivimos en una generación que aprendió a hablar de Dios sin necesidad de depender de Él, nos volvimos hábiles para parecer cristianos sin vivir como verdaderos creyentes, nos gusta el mensaje del Evangelio, pero no sus exigencias, nos jactamos de conocer al Señor… pero evitamos poner toda nuestra confianza en Él y poner por obra sus mandatos y ordenanzas; el Señor lo declaró en Lucas 6:46-48 "¿Por qué me llamáis, Señor, Señor, y no hacéis lo que yo digo? Todo aquel que viene a mí, y oye mis palabras y las hace, os indicaré a quién es semejante. Semejante es al hombre que al edificar una casa, cavó y ahondó y puso el fundamento sobre la roca; y cuando vino una inundación, el río dio con ímpetu contra aquella casa, pero no la pudo mover, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca”.Hoy el Espíritu Santo nos confronta: ¿Estamos viviendo por fe de lo que creemos o por conveniencia de lo que necesitamos? A esto se le llama Fe Falsa:La fe falsa siempre tiene un plan B «por si acaso Dios no responde» entonces tengo otra opción bajo la manga, una estrategia oculta o un recurso inesperado que se puede usar en el momento oportuno para obtener lo deseado, pero la fe verdadera solo tiene un camino: confiar en Dios, sin buscar salidas alternativas. Para el que realmente cree, “es Dios… o nada”. Quien tiene una fe aparente puede defender lo que dice creer, pero nunca se pondrá en una situación donde su vida dependa por completo de esa fe. A todos nos llegará el momento en que solo nos quede Dios. La salud, el dinero, los amigos y cualquier refugio humano desaparecerán. Por eso, sería mejor pedirle a Dios desde ya que quite toda confianza falsa, que nos saque de nuestros escondites, y nos muestre si de verdad confiamos en Él.Todo esto debe hacernos reaccionar y hasta llegar a sentir el temor de Dios preguntándote: ¿Tengo o quiero una fe tan fuerte? ¿Quiero que sea todo o nada? Es necesario que reflexionemos en lo que afirmaba el salmista en el Salmo 61:2:3 “Llévame a la Roca que es más alta que yo. Porque tú has sido mi refugio, y torre fuerte delante del enemigo”.El cimiento sobre el que construimos nuestras vidas es como un sistema de raíces que proporciona estabilidad y alimento a todo lo que hacemos. Esta es la Ley de las Raíces y los Frutos: Lo que está en la raíz (creencias, carácter, corazón) determina el fruto (acciones, hábitos, conducta), por lo tanto:La vida cristiana se construye desde adentro hacia afuera, como un árbol cuyo fruto depende de la calidad de su raíz, así como las raíces de un árbol proporcionan estabilidad y alimento, nuestra vida interior sostiene nuestra vida exterior. Colosenses 2:6-7 “Por tanto, de la manera que habéis recibido al Señor Jesucristo, andad en él; arraigados y sobre edificados en él, y confirmados en la fe, así como habéis sido enseñados, abundando en acciones de gracias”.Lo que creemos determina nuestra manera de vivir y nuestro carácter y lo que guardamos en el corazón se refleja en nuestros hábitos. Al final, lo que somos por dentro determina lo que hacemos por fuera, porque así como las raíces definen el fruto de un árbol, nuestra vida interior define nuestras acciones. Jeremías 17:8 “Porque será como el árbol plantado junto a las aguas, que junto a la corriente echará sus raíces, y no verá cuando viene el calor, sino que su hoja estará verde; y en el año de sequía no se fatigará, ni dejará de dar fruto”El cambio de vida se produce desde la raíz, no desde el fruto, por tal razón para redirigir los hábitos de comportamiento, debemos transformar los hábitos del corazón: Comportamiento, conducta, hábitos, creencia y carácter”.Para vivir nuestra vida cristiana al máximo debemos cultivar nuestras vidas bajo tierra, esto es trabajar en lo invisible, en lo interno, en lo que nadie más ve pero que sostiene todo lo demás. Es el proceso de fortalecer nuestro carácter, nuestra intimidad con Dios, nuestra obediencia en lo secreto y nuestras raíces espirituales.. Esto es lo que Proverbios quiere decir con "la raíz de los justos", la fuerza y la salud de nuestras raíces determinan el fruto que daremos. Si nuestras raíces son fuertes, no solo daremos mucho fruto, sino que también seremos firmes, fuertes y resilientes en medio de las tormentas que la vida nos depare. Pero si nuestras raíces son superficiales y débiles, seremos sacudidos e incluso destruidos cuando las tormentas nos azoten.Como dice Proverbios, «Nadie se afirma por la maldad». La palabra hebrea para «afirmar» es yikkon, y significa «firme, estable, seguro, anclado». Quienes rechazan la verdad de Dios y abrazan la maldad carecen de fundamento; quienes confían en Cristo tienen un fundamento fuerte y seguro.Nuestra relación con Dios es el fundamento de todo en la vida. Dios es la fuente de nuestra identidad y propósito. Él es la fuente de la verdad, los principios y fundamentos de nuestra vida, Él nos creó y nos define. No nos definen nuestras circunstancias, ni nuestro trabajo, ni nuestras posesiones, ni nuestra posición social. Nos define quiénes somos en Cristo.Sin Cristo, no hay fundamento. Sin Cristo, no podemos dar fruto duradero, 1 Corintios 3:10-11 "Conforme a la gracia de Dios que me ha sido dada, yo como perito arquitecto puse el fundamento, y otro edifica encima; pero cada uno mire cómo sobreedifica. Porque nadie puede poner otro fundamento que el que está puesto, el cual es Jesucristo”.Todo lo que se ha enseñado se traduce en una Palabra que declaró el Señor en el sermón de monte: "Por tanto, si tu ojo derecho te es ocasión de caer, sácalo, y échalo de ti; pues mejor te es que se pierda uno de tus miembros, y no que todo tu cuerpo sea echado al infierno. Y si tu mano derecha te es ocasión de caer, córtala, y échala de ti; pues mejor te es que se pierda uno de tus miembros, y no que todo tu cuerpo sea echado al infierno" Mateo 5:29-30. Mateo 5 sigue llamando la atención hoy en día, y plantean la cuestión de hasta qué punto debemos tomar al pie de la letra los mandatos de Jesús en estos pasajes. ¿Quiere decir Jesús que debemos arrancarnos los ojos o cortarnos una mano si somos propensos a pecar? Jesús enfatiza en que debemos tener una “Fe Firme”, debemos estar dispuestos a hacer cambios radicales en nuestras vidas, y digo mas, en todas las áreas de nuestra vida: Espiritual, Emocional, Física, Sexual, Económica.El propósito de Jesús es magnificar la naturaleza atroz del pecado y la maldad. El pecado y la maldad es cualquier acción o pensamiento contrario al carácter de Dios. El resultado del pecado es la muerte, de la que Jesús quiere preservarnos. El pecado lleva a la gente al infierno, Apocalipsis 21:8 “Pero los cobardes e incrédulos, los abominables y homicidas, los fornicarios y hechiceros, los idólatras y todos los mentirosos tendrán su parte en el lago que arde con fuego y azufre, que es la muerte segunda” y eso hace que el pecado sea algo que hay que evitar a toda costa. Jesús dice que “sea lo que sea lo que te hace pecar, toma medidas drásticas para sacarlo de tu vida”: "Por tanto, si tu mano o tu pie te es ocasión de caer, córtalo y échalo de ti; mejor te es entrar en la vida cojo o manc...

Salmos 127:1 “Si Jehová no edificare la casa, en vano trabajan los que la edifican; Si Jehová no guardare la ciudad, en vano vela la guardia”.Muchos creyentes piensan que una vez han creído en Jesucristo, la Roca de nuestra salvación, ya no tienen que esforzarse para mantenerse en el Camino y se olvidan de construir sus vidas con bases espirituales sólidas, una de estas bases espirituales sólidas es la Palabra de Dios.Al continuar con nuestras vidas en el manejo natural y emocional todo se desmorona, no existen bases ni cimientos sólidos en el cual podamos sostener nuestra casa, hogar y familia. El resultado de una vida sin Dios, nos lleva a la enfermedad espiritual, que es la causa y origen de todas las demás enfermedades, dolores, fracasos y destrucción.El mundo está lleno de estructuras espirituales de maldad que se levantan en contra de nuestras vidas, familias y descendencias, los ángeles caídos o principados; gobernantes del reino de las tinieblas de mayor rango; Poderes demoníacos a quienes se les ha dado autoridad para ejecutar la voluntad de los ángeles caídos o principados, cuyo anhelo de destrucción y sometimiento de la humanidad la cual está alimentada por el orgullo, la altivez, el conocimiento, todo esto alimenta su necesidad de autoridad y poder; el objetivo principal de Satanás es que todo el mundo se incline ante el; Los gobernadores de las tinieblas que son los vigilantes de los demonios y por ultimo los demonios, los cuales son los soldados rasos de Satanás, es su ejército maligno controlados y dirigidos por los poderes demoníacos.Los demonios o espíritus inmundos son seres espirituales de maldad que buscan ocupar cuerpos físicos para lograr tres objetivos fundamentales: “Controlar, Destruir y Matar”, éstos se manifiestan por medio de los seres humanos en sus diferentes áreas: Espiritual, Emocional, Física, Sexual, Económica y entran porque en algún momento de nuestra vida le hemos abierto la puerta espiritual o alguien de autoridad abre la puerta en nuestra vidas; por ejemplo las contaminaciones espirituales de nuestros ascendientes por prácticas ocultistas e idolatrías, influencias negativas durante nuestra etapa prenatal, contaminación emocional, sexual o física en todas las etapas de nuestra vida, hábitos pecaminosos continuos, imposición de manos y palabras ociosas.Basado en esta realidad espiritual, entonces podemos preguntarnos ¿Quién es el mayor enemigo de la familia? Yo no diría “el mayor enemigo”, yo diría “los mayores enemigos” son: Conflictos y falta de comunicación; Los desacuerdos, las discusiones constantes y la falta de entendimiento, las cuales tienden a debilitar las relaciones familiares y causar estragos en la armonía del hogar.Es fundamental abordar estos desafíos espirituales de frente para mantener una familia fuerte y unida, ya que la gran catástrofe de las crisis familiares provoca divorcios, violencia doméstica, hijos abandonados, abortos, abusos sexuales, rebeldía, delincuencia, drogas y se fundamenta en la carencia de atención y cuidado de los cónyuges entre sí y de los padres a los hijos.El tiempo no se puede ahorrar, sino que pasa, no retrocede y es imposible de recuperar. Es evidente que vivimos tiempos muy acelerados, de mucho trabajo, muchas exigencias, mucho estrés. Las responsabilidades, las actividades y compromisos aumentan cada día. No es fácil administrar el tiempo para cumplir con todo.El remedio para obtener libertad espiritual en la familia, es cerrar la puerta a la influencia espiritual demoníaca y expulsarlos en el nombre de Jesús, el único que tiene autoridad sobre ellos y los exhibió públicamente en la cruz del calvario, triunfando sobre ellos; Colosenses 2:13-15 “Y a vosotros, estando muertos en pecados y en la incircuncisión de vuestra carne, os dio vida juntamente con él, perdonándoos todos los pecados, anulando el acta de los decretos que había contra nosotros, que nos era contraria, quitándola de en medio y clavándola en la cruz, y despojando a los principados y a las potestades, los exhibió públicamente, triunfando sobre ellos en la cruz, por lo tanto la cruz”Por lo tanto es necesario que desde hoy comencemos a edificar la casa sobre bases espirituales sólidas que están descritas en la Palabra:LA ROCA ESPIRITUAL DE NUESTRA SALVACIÓN: JESUCRISTO. Debemos entrar por la Puerta estrecha y de esta manera accedemos al corazón de Dios “...acercándonos a él, piedra viva, desechada ciertamente por los hombres, mas para Dios escogida y preciosa, vosotros también, como piedras vivas, sed edificados como casa espiritual y sacerdocio santo, para ofrecer sacrificios espirituales aceptables a Dios por medio de Jesucristo” 1 Pedro 2:4-5; "Cualquiera, pues, que me oye estas palabras, y las hace, le compararé a un hombre prudente, que edificó su casa sobre la roca. Descendió lluvia, y vinieron ríos, y soplaron vientos, y golpearon contra aquella casa; y no cayó, porque estaba fundada sobre la roca". Mateo 7:24-25.HONRA A TU PADRE Y A TU MADRE: Éxodo 20:12 “Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, para que tus días se alarguen en la tierra que Jehová tu Dios te da“ Efesios 6:1-4 “Hijos, obedeced en el Señor a vuestros padres, porque esto es justo. Honra a tu padre y a tu madre, que es el primer mandamiento con promesa; para que te vaya bien, y seas de larga vida sobre la tierra. Y vosotros, padres, no provoquéis a ira a vuestros hijos, sino criadlos en disciplina y amonestación del Señor”. LOS HIJOS SON BENDICIÓN DE DIOS: Aunque ser padres resulta ser una tarea difícil pero precioso, no hay cursos para aprender, Salmos 127:4-5 TLA “Los hijos que nos nacen cuando aún somos jóvenes, hacen que nos sintamos seguros, como guerreros bien armados. Quien tiene muchos hijos, bien puede decir que Dios lo ha bendecido. No tendrá de qué avergonzarse cuando se defienda en público delante de sus enemigos”.Romper la esclavitud con Egipto y el mundo: La prepotencia del hombre nunca le permitirá ser humilde ante Dios, por lo que queda cegado por su propia luz y no ve el consejo y la sabiduría de Dios. El hombre sin Dios y en el mundo y buscando el beneficio y el éxito, cae en los brazos del enemigo, el cual lo lleva a la destrucción y al fracaso.Honrar a Dios: Dios se agrada de aquel que reconoce que todo proviene de Él, por lo tanto debemos honrar y agradecer a Dios por todo lo que nos da.Hoy el Señor anhela la restauración de las familias a través de la reconciliación, el perdón y la unidad entre los que conforman la casa, el hogar y la familia.¿Cuantos quieren afirmar sus familias delante de Dios? Debemos poner en práctica los siguientes principios: Padres que agradan a Dios; Padres que dan buen ejemplo ya que los hijos se fijan más en lo que sus padres hacen que en lo que dicen, es por eso que las acciones de los padres deben ser congruentes con lo que enseñan; Padres que escuchan ya que los hijos desean ser escuchados, por tanto, si no se les demuestra interés se sentirán poco importantes; Padres que disciplinan sin rechazar: Los padres no deben disciplinar a sus hijos cuando están enojados, primero, deben permitir que Dios controle sus sentimientos, luego explicarle a los hijos las consecuencias de su mal comportamiento, y finalmente, disciplinarlos de tal manera que no se sientan rechazados ni maltratados; Padres que se aman. Cuando los niños ven expresiones de amor entre sus padres, se sienten más seguros; Padres que no tienen favoritos. Si uno de los padres demuestra favoritismo por uno de sus hijos, los demás sentirán rechazados, poca cosa; Padres que reconocen sus errores; Orar en familia; Leer el instructivo: la Biblia en familia con el fin de compartir la Palabra de Dios; Asistir al templo en familia; Administrar la econom...
Bonus 10 - What happens when a former Army Ranger and Special Forces veteran finally reveals classified missions conducted during some of history's most volatile conflicts? Chris Brewer's military journey spans 24 remarkable years, from the reactivation of the 1st Ranger Battalion in 1974 to covert operations in Colombia during the Pablo Escobar era.In this gripping conversation, Chris takes us behind enemy lines into a world few civilians ever glimpse. Operating in civilian clothes with minimal support, his six-person team would check in just once weekly via HF radio to confirm they were still alive. While bombs exploded nightly in Bogota streets and gunfire erupted regularly, Chris and his team navigated this dangerous terrain while establishing a medical corpsman school as their cover mission. The real objective? A classified operation straight out of a Tom Clancy novel.Behind the tactical stories lies a deeply human journey. Chris opens up about raising his son as a single father while serving in Special Forces, depending on military friends to care for his child during deployments. His candid discussion of surviving rocket attacks and processing trauma offers rare insight into the psychological resilience required in elite military units. "You wake up and the first thing through your mind is I can't breathe," Chris explains, describing the aftermath of explosions that left him sleeping in rooms riddled with shrapnel.What makes Special Forces different from other military units? As Chris explains, "When there's only six of you, or 12 of you out there, all by yourself, a long way from home, you're probably not going to win very many gunfights." The key to survival isn't superior firepower but building relationships with local populations and understanding their needs—a philosophy that guided his entire career.Check out Chris's books "In the Shadows Between the Wars" and "Old Scroll Ranger" on Amazon to dive deeper into these declassified stories that shaped global security while remaining hidden from public view for decades. These firsthand accounts provide an unfiltered look at military service that will change how you understand modern warfare.Visit LandPirate.com to get your gear that has you, the adventurer, in mind.

RFI reçoit Eloïse Layan de Forbidden Stories et Wethzer Piercin d'Ayibopost qui signent une longue enquête très documentée sur l'assassinat de deux journalistes haïtiens. Néhémie Joseph est mort le 10 octobre 2019, à Mirebalais, alors qu'il travaillait sur la contrebande à la frontière entre Haïti et la République dominicaine. Gary Tess, lui, dénonçait sur les ondes les mauvaises pratiques des hommes politiques haïtiens. Néhémie Joseph était un journaliste engagé, «un battant», raconte Eloïse Layan. Il se savait menacé. Il l'avait d'ailleurs écrit sur les réseaux sociaux une dizaine de jours avant sa mort, se disant la cible d'un complot ourdi, entre autres, par l'ancien sénateur Rony Célestin. «Il a trouvé la mort par des sbires du pouvoir en place», dénonce sa famille. Néhémie Joseph travaillait sur des sujets sensibles, notamment sur la situation de chauffeurs routiers rackettés par les gangs et obligés de transporter des armes. Un trafic dans lequel Rony Célestin était vraisemblablement impliqué. Forbidden Stories a décidé de poursuivre ses investigations. Eloïse Layan s'est rendue en Haïti et a marché dans les pas du journaliste haïtien à la frontière, à Belladère. Elle a recueilli de nombreux témoignages anonymes. Certains mettent en cause les agents de douane qui ne vérifient pas correctement les chargements, raconte la journaliste. Le nom de Rony Célestin revient également régulièrement. «Même les rapports d'experts des Nations disent que c'est un contrebandier qui a des liens avec les groupes criminels», précise Eloïse Layan. «C'est l'homme le plus puissant du département du Plateau central. Mais son influence s'étend jusqu'à Port-au-Prince.» Gary Tess, 39 ans, animait une émission sur une radio des Cayes dans laquelle il épinglait la classe politique haïtienne. Il a été tué le 18 octobre 2022. Le principal suspect est l'ancien procureur Ronald Richemond. Le journaliste l'accusait de voler des terres. Lui nie les accusations. Mais «il est mis en cause par de nombreuses personnes, dont certains de ses anciens collaborateurs», raconte Wethzer Piercin. «Même si Ronald Richemond est inculpé, le dossier traîne. Il y a une véritable omerta car les gens ont peur de parler. On ne sait pas si la justice va pouvoir mener son enquête jusqu'au bout», complète Eloïse Layan. Le travail d'Eloïse Fayan et Wethzer Pierin est à lire sur les sites de Forbidden Stories, du Monde et d'Ayibopost. Donald Trump a-t-il vraiment gagné en faisant voter sa loi budgétaire ? Aux États-Unis, la presse revient sur la loi budgétaire que Donald Trump a réussi à faire voter par le Congrès hier (3 juillet 2025) et se demandent s'il s'agit vraiment d'une victoire. Le Washington Post se fait l'écho des inquiétudes de certains républicains. Le sénateur de Caroline du nord, Thom Tillis, a mis en garde Donald Trump, le week-end dernier. «Vous faites une bêtise», lui a-t-il dit au téléphone, raconte le journal. Selon ce sénateur, les coupes dans Medicaid prévues par la loi Budgétaire, vont coûter cher au parti : elles vont lui faire perdre la majorité à la Chambre des représentants lors des élections de mi-mandat, en 2026. Donald Trump a renié l'une de ses promesses de campagne, écrit le Washington Post, qui était de ne pas toucher au système de santé. Pour Josh Hawley, sénateur du Missouri, cité par le New York Times : «Nous ne pouvons pas être le parti des travailleurs si on supprime aux travailleurs leur sécurité sociale». Un argument que balaie du revers de la main le camp Trump. Pour le président et ses alliés, c'est une bonne chose que cette loi ait été votée bien avant les élections de mi-mandat. Les effets économiques seront visibles avant le scrutin, se réjouissent-ils, raconte Politico. En avril 2025, six mois avant les élections, quand ils rempliront leurs déclarations d'impôts, les Américains verront l'impact de la suppression des taxes sur les pourboires et sur la sécurité sociale. Quant à Medicaid, le camp Trump a prévu la parade : ils comptent «vendre les coupes dans le programme d'assurance maladie pour les Américains à faibles revenus comme une lutte contre le gaspillage, les fraudes et les abus», écrit encore le site d'information en ligne. Les États-Unis et la Colombie au bord de la rupture diplomatique En Colombie, la presse revient sur la détérioration des relations entre Bogota et Washington. Hier, les deux pays ont rappelé leurs ambassadeurs respectifs. Cela fait plusieurs mois que la crise couvait. El Espectador dresse la liste de tous les points de crispation qui ont jalonné cette escalade. Il y a tout d'abord eu le refus de Bogota d'accepter le retour de Colombiens entrés illégalement aux États-Unis, puis la question des droits de douane, les remontrances de Washington qui trouve que Gustavo Petro n'en fait pas assez en matière de lutte contre le trafic de drogue et, en réponse, le refus de la Colombie d'extrader vers les États-Unis des responsables de groupes armés. Et puis, il y a eu «la goutte d'eau qui a fait déborder le vase», termine El Espectador : Gustavo «Petro a accusé de membres du Congrès américain d'avoir participé à la préparation d'un coup d'État afin de le renverser». Cette dispute intervient au pire moment, explique El Espectador. La ministre des Affaires étrangères colombienne a démissionné hier. Or, «le président et son entourage ne savent pas mener à bien des négociations sensibles. Ils sont trop dogmatiques», estime Lawrence Gumbiner, ancien diplomate américain. Et dans 15 jours, se termine la pause sur les tarifs douaniers décrétée par Donald Trump. Dans les colonnes de la Semana, l'ancien ministre de la Défense et ancien ambassadeur à Washington, Juan Carlos Pinzón demande au gouvernement colombien de «faire preuve de bon sens et de faire passer les intérêts nationaux avant ses intérêts partisans, politiques et électoraux». Le journal de la 1ère En Guyane, le principal d'un collège s'est donné la mort.

Romanos 2:4-8, 16 NTV “¿No te das cuenta de lo bondadoso, tolerante y paciente que es Dios contigo? ¿Acaso eso no significa nada para ti? ¿No ves que la bondad de Dios es para guiarte a que te arrepientas y abandones tu pecado? Pero eres terco y te niegas a arrepentirte y abandonar tu pecado, por eso vas acumulando un castigo terrible para ti mismo. Pues se acerca el día de la ira, en el cual se manifestará el justo juicio de Dios. Él juzgará a cada uno según lo que haya hecho. Dará vida eterna a los que siguen haciendo el bien, pues de esa manera demuestran que buscan la gloria, el honor y la inmortalidad que Dios ofrece; pero derramará su ira y enojo sobre los que viven para sí mismos, los que se niegan a obedecer la verdad y, en cambio, viven entregados a la maldad”, “Y el mensaje que proclamo es que se acerca el día en que Dios juzgará, por medio de Cristo Jesús, la vida secreta de cada uno”.Para Dios lo mas importante es tu vida secreta, a Dios le interesa no lo que el mundo ve, sino lo que nadie puede ver, lo que sucede en lo intimo y en lo reservado de nuestro ser,Muchos piensan que pueden seguir aparentando una vida espiritual, una gran familia, una gran estabilidad, aunque por dentro tienen los peores y mas grandes pecados ocultos; sino colocamos en orden nuestras áreas secretas, el enemigo va a traer desorden y caos en nuestra vida pública.En Romanos 2:4-8 el apóstol Pablo nos enseña tres principios que debemos poner por obra:No desprecies la bondad de Dios: Pablo afirma con énfasis “¿No te das cuenta de lo bondadoso, tolerante y paciente que es Dios contigo? ¿Acaso eso no significa nada para ti? ¿No ves que la bondad de Dios es para guiarte a que te arrepientas y abandones tu pecado? Lo primero que debemos entender es que el pecado te quita y la bondad te da. La gente que ha sido limpiada por la Palabra, la gente que ha sido perdonada por el Señor y sigue insistiendo en pecados en su vida secreta, esta pisoteando la sangre de Cristo. Tanta bondad de Dios que requiere de nosotros gratitud y por esa gratitud dejamos el pecado, dejamos la practica de la maldad y que comencemos a vivir la vida que Dios espera de nosotros, pero si seguimos viviendo y practicando el pecado, lo único que queda es una cosecha de consecuencias destructivas para nuestras vidas. Dios sigue buscando una Iglesia santa, sin mancha y sin arruga.Responder a la bondad de Dios con compromiso hace que las puertas de bendición se abran, pero responder a la bondad de Dios con pecado hará que las puertas de bendición se cierren; creo que a muchos se les ha cerrado la puerta de la bendición y la única manera que la gracia, el amor y la bondad de Dios regresen a tu vida, es apartar el pecado de tu vida secreta.No seas terco como la mula: Pablo continua diciendo “Pero eres terco y te niegas a arrepentirte y abandonar tu pecado, por eso vas acumulando un castigo terrible para ti mismo”; Las consecuencias del pecado son acumulables, los pecados que no lleves delante del Señor para confesión y arrepentimiento, siguen en tu vida como una bomba de tiempo, esperando el peor momento para explotar, esta escrito en Proverbios 28:13 "El que encubre su pecado no prosperará, mas el que los confiesa y se aparta alcanzará misericordia”; cuanto mas guardes el pecado, mas daño te hará. La gente aprendió a vivir sin pecados públicos, pero aprendieron a convivir con pecados secretos como conversaciones que no deberían estar, chismes que no deberían mantenerse, fornicaciones que deberían parar, adulterios que deberían frenar y siempre decimos: “Nadie se da cuenta”, no llames bendición a lo que conseguiste con pecado, recuerda que lo que el pecado te da, siempre te lo quita, Dios sabe cuando ponerle freno al pecado secreto para volverte a la disciplina ya que la disciplina te hace bien, te hace sentir firme y te hace volver a Dios, el arrepentirte te devuelve a la gracia y al favor del Dios bueno, abundante y Santo. En Lucas 8:17 "Porque nada hay oculto que no haya de ser manifestado, ni escondido, que no haya de ser conocido, y de salir a luz”. Si esto que acabamos de leer no te alienta a honrar y exaltar al Señor, es porque definitivamente no quieres llevar una vida transformada y en santidad delante de Dios.Recuerda que Dios nos juzgará algún día: Aquí me quiero referir al evangelio que se predica hoy, lleno de herejías destructoras, como esta escrito en 2ª Pedro 2:1-3 “Pero hubo también falsos profetas entre el pueblo, como habrá entre vosotros falsos maestros, que introducirán encubiertamente herejías destructoras, y aun negarán al Señor que los rescató, atrayendo sobre sí mismos destrucción repentina. Y muchos seguirán sus disoluciones, por causa de los cuales el camino de la verdad será blasfemado, y por avaricia harán mercadería de vosotros con palabras fingidas. Sobre los tales ya de largo tiempo la condenación no se tarda, y su perdición no se duerme” enseñanzas de “super fe”, pactos de prosperidad, ídolos musicales, predicadores al gusto del cliente, un mercado de la fe, libertinaje, abandono de la Palabra, codicia encubierta, humanismo, psicología, falsas profecías, milagros inventados, un “evangelio mundano” que no tiene nada que ver con el evangelio de Cristo, muchos se están llenando de una doctrina contaminada por el mundo y han llenado sus vidas de “codicia, avaricia, egocentrismo, vanagloria, manipulación, depravación, lujuria, lascivia, fornicación, adulterio, idolatría, brujería, hechicería y ese enfermo deseo por el reconocimiento y fama”, han creado un evangelio paralelo que está matando la iglesia y a todos sus miembros,¿Cuántas de las cosas que estamos viviendo son el resultado de las cosas que hicimos sin pensar?, que creímos que traería bendición y terminó siendo muerte, hoy Dios está aquí para revertir caminos que dañan nuestra vida. Hoy Dios nos visita y nos habla para quitar de encima nuestro: muerte, veneno, oprobio y afrenta, debemos recordar que algún día compareceremos delante del Señor; Todos, buenos y malos, de toda raza, nación, credo, estaremos delante del Señor y Él juzgará nuestras acciones, Romanos 2:16 NTV “Y el mensaje que proclamo es que se acerca el día en que Dios juzgará, por medio de Cristo Jesús, la vida secreta de cada uno”.Pecamos en el secreto, permitimos cosas en el secreto, vemos cosas en el secreto que no debemos ver, hablamos cosas en el secreto que no debemos hablar, hablamos temas en el secreto que no debemos hablar, recibimos cosas en el secreto que no deberíamos recibir y decimos… “Gracias a Dios esto no lo sabe nadie…”.Ministración: Todos al frente, somos la ofrenda que debe ser presentada en sacrificio vivo ante el Señor, no hay nadie aquí que pueda decir “soy santo”, “eso nunca me va a pasar”; todos sin excepción hemos guardado cosas que nos atemorizan que salgan a la luz, cosas secretas que nos angustian que se sepan.Hoy tenemos que escudriñar ¿Como está tu vida secreta, que cosas están ahí que no hemos querido parar? No hay nada mas liberador que parar lo que tenemos que parar, Jesús lo advirtió en la mujer adultera “Vete y no peques mas”. Tiempo de arrepentimiento…Tu vida secreta:Es una bomba de tiempo: Va a explotar tarde o temprano, la única forma de evitar que explote, es desactivar la bomba inmediatamenteEl pecado es oculto para todos, menos para Dios: Nadie sabe todas las cosas de los demás, pero a Jehová nadie le engaña, cuando hay pecados ocultos no hay más avance, no hay más crecimiento y la derrota está garantizada. Dios está sobre todo, pero Él no está en todo, Dios está donde se está haciendo su voluntad.Vives una vida falsa: Es lamentable, muchos cantan, levantan las manos, ofrendan, se amoldan a la liturgia, pero no están viviendo para Cristo, el que anda con pecados oc...

Au quatrième jour de la guerre entre Israël et l'Iran, un hôpital de Kermanshah dans l'ouest du pays, a été touché ce matin, (16 juin 2025) et a subi d'importants dégâts. On déplore 224 morts en Iran et 24 en Israël. Benyamin Netanyahu poursuit l'opération lancée vendredi, avec l'approbation américaine. Au micro d'Anne Cantener, Guillaume Lasconjarias, historien militaire, professeur associé à l'Université Paris Sorbonne et ancien chercheur au Collège de défense de l'Otan décrypte cette actualité. «Depuis 80 ans, le soutien à Israël est l'un des piliers de la politique étrangère des États-Unis. Aujourd'hui, Washington n'a pas d'autre choix que d'accompagner Israël», explique Guillaume Lasconjarias. Pour autant, les États-Unis souhaitent «éviter un embrasement généralisé» et ne veulent pas que leurs bases dans la région soient impliquées. Leur soutien est donc «très limité pour l'instant» afin de «ne pas être entraîné de manière rampante» dans une guerre qu'ils n'ont pas choisie, d'autant que contrairement à Israël, les États-Unis ne souhaitent pas la chute du régime des mollahs. Dans ce contexte, l'option diplomatique est-elle encore une piste crédible ? Les discussions sur le nucléaire engagées entre Téhéran et Washington restent une solution possible mais «pas tout de suite», juge Guillaume Lasconjarias. En attendant, ce conflit vient souligner les fractures idéologiques qui existent déjà parmi les partisans de Donald Trump alors que celui-ci avait promis de ne pas engager les États-Unis dans un nouveau conflit à l'étranger. Reportage de notre correspondant Edward Maille. La Colombie ne vend plus de charbon à Israël Alors que les bombardements sont toujours quotidiens à Gaza et si les Américains affichent toujours un appui total, d'autres pays du continent choisissent de tourner le dos à Israël, comme la Colombie qui n'a plus de relation diplomatique avec l'État hébreu depuis plus d'un an. Bogota parle de génocide pour qualifier la situation. En août 2024, le gouvernement colombien a annoncé la suspension de ses exportations de charbon à Israël, dont il était le premier fournisseur. Bilan de ces décisions signé de notre correspondante, Marie-Eve Detoeuf. Qu'attendre du G7 ? Alors que le G7 s'ouvre ce lundi, (16 juin 2025) au Canada, Donald Trump a promis des avancées dans de nombreux domaines, notamment en ce qui concerne les tensions au Proche-Orient et la guerre commerciale, nous apprend le New York Times. Il ne devrait toutefois pas y avoir de communiqué conjoint à l'issue du sommet. Jamais le «fossé» entre le président américain et ses alliés n'a été aussi grand, insiste le quotidien. Comme le fait remarquer une chercheuse de l'Atlantic Council's Europe Center, plus que le regroupement des plus grandes économies du monde, «le G7 représente une communauté de valeurs communes. Or ces valeurs, Donald Trump ne les partage pas ou plus». Dans ces conditions, les États-Unis ne seront plus l'artisan du consensus comme avant. C'en est fini des partenariats mondiaux. Donald Trump préfère les relations bilatérales. À ce petit jeu, Keir Starmer aimerait être celui qui murmure à l'oreille de Donald Trump, celui qui fait le lien entre le président américain et les autres dirigeants du G7, écrit Politico. Le Premier ministre britannique estime être en bonne position, notamment sur l'Ukraine, depuis que le Royaume-Uni a décidé d'augmenter ses dépenses de défense. Et puis les deux hommes ont une «relation personnelle très, très forte». Lors de leur rencontre dans le Bureau ovale, début mars, «Keir Starmer a touché délicatement le bras de Donald Trump quatre fois au cours des 100 secondes qu'a duré leur apparition devant la presse», relève le site d'informations. Keir Starmer n'est pas le seul à espérer influencer Donald Trump «Emmanuel Macron se voit comme le responsable politique européen le plus capé», tandis que Giorgia Meloni «se considère comme proche idéologiquement» de Donald Trump et met en avant ses liens étroits avec l'écosystème MAGA, écrit Politico. «Les médias du monde entier seront attentifs à tout indice (...) sur le degré de respect accordé à chaque dirigeant – et sur la capacité de l'un d'entre eux à transformer cela en progrès» sur les dossiers chauds du moment, analyse le journal en ligne. Bref, il va falloir scruter à qui Donald Trump serre la main et comment. Le journal de la 1ère Après sept mois passés dans l'Hexagone, le président de la Collectivité Territoriale est revenu ce dimanche (15 juin 2025) en Guyane !

PRODUCTION CREDITS Host: Lindsey Dinneen Editing: Marketing Wise Producer: Velentium EPISODE TRANSCRIPT Episode 057 - Maria Artunduaga [00:00:00] Lindsey Dinneen: Hi, I'm Lindsey and I'm talking with MedTech industry leaders on how they change lives for a better world. [00:00:09] Diane Bouis: The inventions and technologies are fascinating and so are the people who work with them. [00:00:15] Frank Jaskulke: There was a period of time where I realized, fundamentally, my job was to go hang out with really smart people that are saving lives and then do work that would help them save more lives. [00:00:28] Diane Bouis: I got into the business to save lives and it is incredibly motivating to work with people who are in that same business, saving or improving lives. [00:00:38] Duane Mancini: What better industry than where I get to wake up every day and just save people's lives. [00:00:42] Lindsey Dinneen: These are extraordinary people doing extraordinary work, and this is The Leading Difference. Hello, and welcome back to another episode of The Leading Difference podcast. I'm your host Lindsey, and I am delighted to welcome as my guest today, Maria Artunduaga. Maria is a physician, scientist, and inventor with 60 plus prizes, including becoming the first woman to lead a US LATAM company to win MedTech Innovator, the world's most competitive accelerator for medical technology surpassing over 1300 global companies. A top 1% student in Columbia, her country of birth, she relocated to the US to pursue plastic surgery training, but abandoned it to dedicate herself to solve the problem that killed her grandmother-- a lack of home technologies that can detect COPD exasperations early. Maria has raised 5.2 million, almost 60% in non-dilutive capital from NSF and NIH to build Sylvee, an AI wearable sensor that can provide COPD patients with continuous data on pulmonary functions similar to what continuous glucose monitoring sensors do for diabetic patients. Her invention has been featured by a hundred plus media outlets, including Forbes, TechCrunch, Bloomberg, Fierce Healthcare, and more. Before Samay, Maria completed postdoctoral studies in human genetics at Harvard Medical School, started a plastic surgery residency at the University of Chicago, and completed two master's degrees, one in global public health at the University of Washington, and another in translational medicine at the University of California at Berkeley and San Francisco. She lives in Mountain View, California with her husband, 2-year-old daughter, and four pets. In her free time, she enjoys flamenco dancing, bolero singing, traveling the world, and fostering diversity in and outside the workplace by mentoring underrepresented scientists and entrepreneurs. All right. Well, thank you so much for being here, Maria. I'm so excited to finally get a chance to speak with you. I'd love if you would share a little bit about your background and your career trajectory. What led you to MedTech? [00:02:40] Maria Artunduaga: Sure. So it's gonna be a little long and I'm gonna tell you everything about my life because the personal history is very important to me and for my company too. So, as you have noticed, I have an accent. So, I grew up in Columbia in a very small town in the southern part of the country. My parents were both doctors and I'm the oldest of four kids and two of us followed their lead. So my life in my city was pretty chill. Everyone knew everyone. I spent most of my days at a Catholic school studying very hard on weekends where I usually spent tagging along my parents to doctor events. One of the things that I really like to tell, it's how my parents work as entrepreneurs really shaped my life. They were real pioneers. They built in my hometown the first big clinic back in the eighties and the nineties. And my mom was the only woman in that group, and she actually was the CEO for a while, which was a big deal. She was the only woman in a partnership of 10 people. And watching them build that clinic, that hospital really taught me a lot about dealing with uncertainty and finding solutions. Every day we'll have supper or lunch and I'll just hear all of these challenges and stories, their struggles and how they solve things. Something that was, that is definitely super helpful in what I do now, right? So, and then I was 16 and after high school I moved to Bogota, the capital, which is up in the mountains, it's very cold. I got a scholarship 'cause I was always a very good student. You know, career I spent my last year, I spent nine months in the US. Honestly, coming to the US blew my mind. The technology that I got to see, the speed, effects on science, it was nothing like I've ever seen before, and that was true inspiration for me. So I knew that I had to come to the US. I needed to come back to learn from the best, of course. And it's interesting because my parents didn't want me to relocate to the US. I was the oldest. I was supposed to follow into their footsteps and obviously, like inherited that clinic, right? That hospital, we call it clinic, it's actually a hospital. And I was a very contrarian. I didn't listen to them. I told them, you know, I really wanna be where the best people are. And what I did was that I, it took me three years to save the money to come to the US, to get Harvard to actually sponsor me my visa because they wouldn't pay me for the first year. So I remember I had to save $30,000, which in pesos is significant. So back in 2007, so many years ago, I made it to Boston, and the original idea was that I wanted to become a pediatric plastic surgeon and bring that level of care back to Columbia. I spent four years of researching a genetic ear condition that's called microtia. And with that work, I was able to land a plastic surgery residency spot or position at the University of Chicago. And I shared this with a lot of people. I actually had a really negative experience. Things didn't go as planned. I actually faced discrimination. I eventually, you know, had to leave and I made the top choice to never ever go back into clinical practice. And I changed paths. I was 32 years old and yeah I decided to switch gears. I retrained into public health and tech. And then in 2016, I moved to the Bay Area where I am right now. And I got another scholarship to finish master's in translational medicine at UC Berkeley and UCSF. And during the courses that I took, some of them with business class etc., etc., I decided to found Samay in 2018. I really wanted to build something that would really make a difference in respiratory medicine. And this is where my grandmother comes. So my, the grandmother, my abuela, her name was Sylvia and she had Chronic Obstruct Pulmonary Disease or COPD and she's the reason behind my company. So, she often couldn't tell when her symptoms were getting worse. That's a huge problem. Catching the respiratory attacks, exacerbations is definitely key to keeping people outside of the hospitals, and obviously feeling their best to have a better quality of life. So, that's what we are trying to solve with a company, right? If we are able to catch those exacerbations even with a day or two notice in advance, right, that we can all make a difference. And so by missing these exacerbations, we are having really high expenses in hospitalizations and ER visits and the problem we trying to solve is that today technologies that are adequate enough to be used outside of the hospital because the ones that are considered to be the gold standard, they are very expensive. They are confined to their hospitals and they are very difficult to complete for the patient, especially when they're exacerbating. They need to blow out forcefully for about 10 seconds, 21 times. So what we are doing is, we are developing a sensor that makes it super simple for people to use it at home to track their lung function without doing those forceful maneuvers and ideally in the future to warm them, right? Like to let them know when things are starting to go south or obviously, you know, not going very well, and that's what it's all about. I mean, that's what we do with Sylvee right here. And it's wearable sensor and we have done significantly well over the past couple of years. We actually just won MedTech Innovator. [00:08:04] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Significantly well over the last few years. Yes. So congratulations on that, and I want to dive into all of those exciting milestones in just a second. But I am, first of all, so inspired by your story. Thank you for just sharing that your resilience and your grit and your determination are really admirable. So thank you for sticking with something that was not easy, not an easy path. [00:08:29] Maria Artunduaga: I know. I know. [00:08:31] Lindsey Dinneen: It continues not to be, ironically, as we've kind of touched on before, but just going backward a little bit in your story. So I, it sounds to me like getting the opportunity to watch your parents have this incredible impact on their community and the healthcare and the opportunity is just so valuable for you. And even just learning about how your mom was the CEO and those kinds of things, did that help shape the idea for you that not only is entrepreneurship possible, is innovation and healthcare possible, but you can also be this in incredible leader as a woman in whatever capacity? I would just love to dive into that. [00:09:13] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, it's super interesting, right? My mom really taught me a lot about leadership. She's a surgeon, so you can imagine how good of a leader she is in the operating room at home, everywhere, right? I mean, she's definitely the general, that's how I call her. And I honestly, I try to replicate, so my leadership and styles pretty much shaped by her. So I always call her my best role model whenever somebody asks me about the question, right? So I'm just like her. I lead from the front. I like setting the pace by working the hardest. So I really like to lead by example and I also, just like she did, and obviously because of her surgical training, I hold myself to a really high standard, and I expect everyone on my team to do the same. So people in my company know that I'm very strict, I'm very disciplined, and they know that from the beginning. It's so funny because when I interview all of them, at the final interviews with me, and I actually do the anti sale to join Samay. It's like, this is, these are all the reasons why you shouldn't join. I start describing myself as a very intense, obsessed CEO with insomnia, which I still have, because I really wanna make this work, right? So, yeah, I, ask them, and most of them say yes. I really like, I attract people that like challenges, especially intellectual challenges. So, yeah, to this point, most of them say yes. Some of them have obviously, you know, because probably too much. But at the same time, I tell them, "Look, this is going to be very hard in terms of the deliverables, the things that we're expecting from you." But at the same time, my goal is to not only help people with respiratory problems, I try to sell the company as a company where everyone that gets hired can be themselves and thrive. So, so for example, I tell them," Look, I'm trying to be the boss that I never had." And this goes obviously very tied to the very negative experience that I had during my surgical residency and even before, right? So, I never had a boss that really supported me, who recognize my true self and those characteristics as good things, right? So they always try to tone me down. I'm very energetic, as you can notice, and I'm also super ambitious. I'm really ambitious. I wanna do all of these great things. And they always thought that I was aiming for too much, especially for a woman. It's like, " You need to lean in, Maria. You need to behave." So I remember my residency, they were criticizing like, "Why are you behaving like this, Maria? Why are you asking so many questions? You're asking too many questions. You look more as an internal medicine doctor. Why are you always smiling, Maria? Why are you so happy?" So now, with everyone that I hire, what I try to do is that I focus on understanding their dreams and I try to figure out how this job is gonna help them get there. So if they wanna become a top engineer, maybe they wanna learn managerial skills, or they wanna run operations, or they eventually wanna become a founder themselves. So I try to create a partnership with them where they obviously help me succeed with the company, build Samay, but at the same time they get to do this personal growth. So it's extremely important that they get to place where they wanna be. [00:12:32] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, that's wonderful. And such a gift to your employees. And I also honestly, that sort of anti interview or whatever technique is brilliant because you do want it to be a fit for everyone, and it's so much better to have aligned expectations from the start. So, oh my goodness, that's so interesting. So, okay, so then. Speaking into that, how do you develop a company culture for yourself? You've learned from some pretty negative experiences, so obviously that's what not to do, but you know, as you're crafting your own company culture now, what kinds of things are sort of your core values, other than of course, your hard work and your excellence and holding yourself and others to high standards, but what kinds of things do have you developed that make it special to be where you are? [00:13:19] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, I mean, that's a really good question. I'm very true to myself, and one of the things that I wanna do with Samay, it's I wanna create legacy. If you go to my WhatsApp, that's exactly the little logo or the slogan that's below my name: I'm creating or building my life's legacy. That's how I pitch myself. So I really wanna be remembered as someone that made healthcare more accessible, especially for the people that get left behind. So growing up in Columbia, I saw firsthand how unfair things will be and I wanted to change that. So that's how the values of Samay go, people first. I think legacy, it's extremely important, right? It's about getting those life changing tools and opportunities into the hands of people who really need them. And again, it's not necessarily, the group that we're building. It's the own experience of building a company with me, learning from the company, from the people that are working with. I really wanna make it accessible for people. And I wanna also be obviously a source of inspiration. You don't necessarily need to be this perfect person to be a CEO. You know, life is a struggle and that's totally fine. Just be very passionate about building legacy, right, your work and how you're impacting other people. And especially for me, I do a lot of work with women and minorities. I really wanna empower them to chase their dreams in science and technology. I really care about people. I don't know, I'm selfless about me. It's all about the others and creating legacy and being remembered. So, yeah, that's how I, that's how I roll. [00:14:59] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. I love that. So speaking of you embracing the CEO role, when you first started your company, did you feel ready to step into this kind of position? Or was it something where you just were like, "You know what? I see the need. I know I can make a difference in this field. I'm gonna do it and I'll learn along the way." [00:15:19] Maria Artunduaga: No, not at all. And let, so there's a very good anecdote that I'm sharing. Again, back to all of these life changing experiences. I got into medtech because of, I don't know, somehow the planets got aligned, right? So I was doing a master's in public health because I thought that was going to be my real call, working for Gates in Seattle, because that's where I actually lived for about two years. Then I came to realize that it was very bureaucratic. It's very, was very slow. I have a type A personality. I really like to fix things very quick. I like to implement stuff. So I decided to do a second master's degree, and as I mentioned, here in Berkeley, I decided to join one of Atma METs minority programs for students, right? It's called SMDP. And I remember that was back in 2016, and they sent me to Minneapolis for the big conference. And that's where I got my first real taste of MedTech. And I remember watching the MedTech Innovator finals with Paul Grand. He was introducing the program, the finalist. I remember clearly seeing all of his pitches and how Green Sun Medical CEO won, and it was a game changer to me because when I saw them pitch, it was very exciting. You know, all these technologies, the many millions of people they could definitely impact, I saw that, and it clicked. I could turn the scientific ideas into something that helps millions in a way, the way how I would practice medicine, but in a more impactful way. So interesting story though. So the other thing that was very inspiring or at least that motivated me, I was the only person in the room who looked like me and spoke with an accent from South America, from Latin America. So it was like two reasons behind it. For me, it was I wanna be a medtech entrepreneur, but at the same time I wanna be able to break the glass ceiling, right? The first Latina physician CEO building a company that has hardware, software, and AI, this is what we actually do. And yeah, so it, it's mainly that. I really like challenges and I'm very motivated to show people that I can do things that might seem impossible or too difficult. So I really like showing people that anything is possible with a lot of hard work and determination. So yeah, that's mainly it. [00:17:47] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Embracing those challenges, running full steam at them and having that, I don't know, that gumption is fantastic too. And the desire, like... [00:17:57] Maria Artunduaga: Thank you. [00:17:57] Lindsey Dinneen: ...you said, to break through those ceilings and to represent and say, "No, it is possible." It is, and I love that. So, excellent. Okay, so can you share a little bit about the journey that the company has gone under recently and some of the really exciting milestones? I know there have been bumps and whatnot, but maybe some of the exciting things that have been developing and what you're looking forward to as you continue down the road. [00:18:24] Maria Artunduaga: Sure. I mean, whew. There are so many things that have been happening for the last couple of months. So it's been a long journey. It's been six years so far. Initially, you know, I wanted to build a company with an idea that was inspired, obviously, by the fact that I lost my grandmother to exacerbation and also because, at the time, I didn't know what I wanted to build. When I was doing an interview with a pulmonologist, what I realized was that I could actually build a technology that could be inspired by consumer devices, so hearing aids for example. And funny story is that my husband who is also Columbian, and went to MIT, he's been working at Google for over a decade and he's an auto engineer. He does a lot of things. He's very smart and he's one of the main architects. What I decided to do back then was, let's repurpose hearing aid technology by sending signals through the chest, and let's use the physical principle of acoustic resonance to understand what's going on inside of the lungs. And that's exactly what we are doing. We have 10 granted patents so far. We have 20 more pending on pulmonary so far. So we've done a lot of things. So we've tested that device on 450 people almost. All of our numbers of accuracy are over 90. Sensitivities and specificities are also between 82 to 98. Right now we are starting to see changes a few days before an exacerbation is actually diagnosed by a physician, which is extremely exciting. We have data from two people. Obviously it's a small sample size. We are following eight of them, and we're aiming to finish at 60 to hundred people in the next year or so. So that's our main goal. We've raised 5.2 million, 60% of that money is coming from grants, federal grants, and we just submitted a breakthrough designation to the FDA about a week ago, so fingers crossed, though, we get it right? There are a lot of things in the pipeline, things that are very exciting. Right now I'm super excited 'cause those six years were very hard. I was running a science project with my nails, getting money from grants, help from people who have known me forever. It was very hard for me to recruit a full-time CTO. So my husband has been helping me with some hours here and there. And we have right now 12 people in Columbia. So for developers, designers, clinical researchers, we are running most of our operations in Latin America because it's extremely, well, obviously cost efficient, and more importantly, we have access to people that are patients especially that are, that exacerbate more often. So we are to leverage all the different angles that we can get. [00:21:04] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. So lots of exciting things in the works and in the future, and oh my goodness, I'm so excited, can't wait to continue to celebrate all those wonderful accomplishments. So I'm curious, as you've taken this journey and even before with your other health experiences and finding this path, are there any moments all along the journey that really stand out to you as affirming, "Yes, I am in the right place at the right time, in the right industry." [00:21:31] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, beyond the MedTech Innovator, the experience eight years ago, I mean, every day I find that this is the perfect fit for me. I always tell people, "Look, entrepreneurship is not for everyone. It really needs to be a fit of personality." So when I talked to my parents, because at the beginning they weren't very agreeable with the idea of me becoming an entrepreneur 'cause physicians don't do this, right? I was sort of like a black sheep of a family, 'cause my sister, she's successful and she's a pediatric radiologist as she's working for an academic center in, in Dallas. So, my personality, I'm Type A. I'm very anxious. I really like doing things super fast. I really like to get things done, right? So, I dunno if I picked the wrong career, probably could have done a better job as an engineer, as a scientist myself. So at heart, I'm a true scientist. That's what I really enjoy. I like practicing medicine, sort of miss it a little bit, but I'm more in the quest of solving questions and discovering, right? That's what really excites me. And then, every day is a new day when you're building a company. And the challenges that I have every day, all of the problems I have to solve, I really enjoy the process of solving them. And this is a little crazy. Who gets excited with problems, right? So, I don't know, that's probably me. So I guess every day, the moment I go home or that I go to sleep, I say, "This is perfect. I don't think I'll be as happy as I am right now if I had stayed medicine. I don't think so." [00:23:10] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow. And that says a lot. And that just affirms to you on a daily basis, "Yeah. I am doing what I'm supposed to be doing. That's wonderful. [00:23:17] Maria Artunduaga: Exactly. Right. It's like, yeah, I'm good at this thing. You know? I like solving problems. I got, I really enjoy the fires. I really like them. I's like, I don't know. I'm, yeah. I'm addicted to them. [00:23:30] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Well, and that is unusual, and I'm curious, do you? But it's a great thing. No, it's a wonderful thing. Yeah, no, absolutely. I love that. So, so when you're at finding yourself up against a problem, do you start with any particular kind of established framework? Do you like to just brainstorm solutions? How do you approach problem solving? [00:23:53] Maria Artunduaga: Gosh, this is a really good question. It's like, you know, if I had to teach something, right? So I'm very good at solving problems, at connecting different disciplines, right, to solve those issues. So for example, the way how I go about them, first of all, I don't get frustrated or too anxious about it. I always try to think first, right? And then, yeah, I start brainstorming. I'm very quick at thinking, my mind goes super quick. I have a whiteboard right behind me. I do a lot brainstorming on my own. I ask a lot of questions too. So I rely on a lot of people, and I get a lot of feedback on the way, how I think a problem needs to be solved. And obviously with time and experience, the older that you get, the better you become, right? So yeah, honestly, every problem is different. I just like seeing it from different angles, right? I'm very good with social stuff. I'm very good with arts too. I really like doing science, learning a about engineering. I really like different ways of solving problems. For example, I remember that I we had this NIH grant and we were working collaboration with a big, famous academic center right here. And things weren't working very well. That was through during a pandemic and I was getting charged things that we actually didn't approve. So things were getting a little awkward. I decided to finalize that agreement. But then I got through this situation that I had no access to patients here in the States, and at the time, I didn't have my clinical site in Columbia opened up. So what I did was the craziest thing, which is what I did, was that I bought an $80,000 machine and I came into an agreement with a friend from medical school who has a pulmonary practice in South Florida, one of the largest pulmonary practices. He's a partner with nine other guys, and they see probably a hundred patients every day. Can you imagine that? So respiratory patients, and I told him, "Look, I don't have any money to pay your rent, but I'm gonna give you equity for that rent, and you're gonna use this machine from Monday through Thursday, and I'm going to test your patients from Friday to Saturday. And I'm going to bring people, I'm going to become my own CRO, right? So I'm gonna bring people, doctors, from Columbia on a J1 visa as a research scholar visa. I'm gonna train them and I'm gonna get them to do the recruitment, review everything, test the patients. We are going to become our own CROs, and we are going to do as many people as we can every single week." So we were able to do 430 people in a span of a probably a year and a half. Something that usually would cost us thousands of dollars. I dunno how much money I spend, probably just 300,000 to do everything. Can you imagine? I mean, that's significantly cheap compared to any other quote that I've been getting from an academic center. So, I sometimes go for the crazy idea, right? Like, what's the craziest thing that I could think of? I literally, I write it down, right? And then I just try to double check with my lawyer. "Am I doing something illegal here?" And I, yeah, I cross reference with other founders. " I'm thinking of doing this, how that's that sound?" And they're like, "This is pretty non-traditional, Maria, but I mean, if you can get it done..." I'm like, "Yeah, of course I can get it done." And I just get it done. I just don't take a no for an answer. I'm very good at also finding, convincing people to jump on board with the vision, the mission. This excitement, this energy, people really get very engaged with Samay and with me as a founder, and they love it. Most of these people either have invested in the company, they are helping me many more hours, pro bono, literally free, and we are building together. [00:27:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Wow, that is so cool. And what a fantastic story. Thank you for sharing that one as well. Oh my word. [00:27:50] Maria Artunduaga: I have way too many stories to share. This is the one I really like to, to tell people. [00:27:55] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that, and I love the willingness to come up with those crazy ideas. And it might be just so crazy that it works. So, hey, you never know until you try, and that's fantastic. Oh my gosh, I love that approach. Alright, so pivoting the conversation a little bit just for fun. Imagine you are to be offered a million dollars to teach a masterclass... I know! ...to teach a masterclass on anything you want. What would you choose to teach? [00:28:22] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah. So, good question. So, gosh, I, I tackle problem. So my, my brain again is very good at figuring stuff out. That plus the fact that I'm very stubborn. So if I'm into something, I don't give up easily. And now I'm gonna tell the story about our winning MedTech Innovator. We beat 65 companies globally, right? And I still like, sort of, I cannot process that we won. So the story goes like this, but a year ago, I tried to raise five millions, my very first institutional round, and I totally flopped. [00:28:55] Lindsey Dinneen: Oh. [00:28:56] Maria Artunduaga: I only got $200,000 because multiple funds that I was talking to, they wanted me to feel half of the round before weighing any money or signing anything. So you can imagine. So do I got, you know, chicken or the egg problem? I failed. And instead of crying or mopping, I thought, "Okay, wait. I got into Medtech Innovator. You know what? I'm just gonna win that competition, still $350,000." And why not? So obviously people, my advisors, my best friend, "Like, you're crazy. It's the most competitive thing ever. You're not established in the field. People know who you are, but it's not like you have exited a company or anything, right? You're not even an engineer, Maria." So what I did was, again I went back to my whiteboard. Again, I probably should have become an engineer before, I dunno. I'm really good at solving problems. So I was like, "You know, this is a problem. These are the different ways how I can tackle this." And more importantly, I'm very good at the studying stuff. I really like, again, knowing, wisdom, information. I just love that. I really love that. So what I did was, I treat it like a big project, and I talked to the past winners, anyone who had done or won any sort of like prize with MedTech Innovator, and I figure out their secret sauce. So I either talk to them, I studied every single video, every single pitch. I spend many hours studying everyone who had one or had done significantly well throughout the accelerator. So what I discovered was the accelerator was kind of a school, like a school. So the harder you work, the better you do. And one of the things that I realized was that mentors and reviewers were key players. So I focused on building those connections. I met with many of them. I probably spent about, I don't know, probably four to five hours meeting with mentors, anyone who I thought could help me somehow, obviously, for free, because a lot of the help that they give used for free. And I also spent a lot of time doing homework, the webinars, et cetera, et cetera. I ask a lot of people for advice. I really got people excited about Samay. I recruited my mentors and they got on board from day one. Because of that, I started building those relationships and it was authentic. I mean, don't get me wrong, this wasn't like, you know, I'm trying to play anybody. I really care about what they had to say, and I incorporate all that feedback into my company to this day. So the other thing is, I make sure to go to everywhere, every webinar, every event, everything. My camera was always on, because most people, when they do their webinars, they don't even turn on their cameras, right? So I was very engaged. I was asking questions, I was getting involved with everything. Same thing with the Slack channel that we have for MedTech Innovator. I was helping people, I was sharing stuff. I was even offering to make introductions. I really made sure that people knew who I was. And I obviously also asked the MedTech Innovator people, the staff, for help, feedback, right? Am I doing this right? What do you think I should do? Anything that you can share with me that you think. I was very clear with them. I wanna go to the, I wanna get to the finals. I told them, and I remember they telling me, "Oh, Maria, about getting to the finals, it's so hard. It depends on the strategics and the sponsors." And I was like, " I'm gonna get there. What do you think I should do?" So I literally ask a lot of people how I needed to get there. And with the finals, the way how they pick the finalist, it's actually the mentors who go in front of the strategics, and they sort of champion your company. And they really went to bat for us. They told them how committed I was, the many people that from my team were actually going for participating to the winner because I brought people from my team... [00:32:45] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. [00:32:46] Maria Artunduaga: You know, very few founders did that. I brought people from Colombia, obviously online, people who barely could understand English. But, I made them prepare questions. "You need to do this and that we need to be super engaged. We need to help other people." And they saw it was hard work. And at the end, we got into the finals and what I realized was, okay, so after the finals, I understood that the game was, obviously it changed. The way how the winner is chosen is that the audience votes, right, during The MedTech Conference. So what I did was, I went all in on social media. We made an awesome video for the best video competition. I remember that that was the first thing that I did back in June. I scheduled two weeks. I flew to Columbia. I hired right people. I made sure that I was perfect, so I was part of the creative team. I designed everything. Again, I really like arts, right? That's why, one of the reasons why I didn't, I was in pleasantry and that's why I really like dancing too, right? So I'm obsessive with everything that we do. I really am into the details and I supervise everything. And we also got into the finals for the best video competition. So I was going to this problem from every single angle. I didn't let anything up to chance. I, yeah, I'm a freak. I'm a control freak. That's what I did. I remember that even for the pitch, the four and a half minute pitch, I practiced, I don't know how many hours, but every single thing that I say that was obviously memorized, needed to be perfect. The way how I, let's go back to dancing since you're a dancer yourself, the way how I moved my hands, right? The way, how I walked on that stage, everything was rehearsed. So, yeah, I mean, I just I worked my ass off. I mean, everything was the way it needed to be and that's how we won. [00:34:39] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Wow. That's great. What a fantastic story. Yeah. Amazing. Yes. I love how it's so choreographed. Yeah, that's [00:34:48] Maria Artunduaga: great. It was choreographed, [00:34:50] Lindsey Dinneen: I love that. Excellent. Well, I know you have touched on the importance of legacy and how much that means to you, but how do you wish to be remembered after you leave this world? [00:35:03] Maria Artunduaga: Oh gosh. Yeah. I mean, so I have a little daughter, I want to some somehow replicate the same experience that I had with my mom. Maybe she doesn't even realize how much of the inspiration and the impact that she had on me. And again, leading by example, I don't spend a lot of hours with my daughter, right? I have a nanny for 12 hours. So my salary goes to her payment, right? Yeah, I wanna be remembered as somebody who tried very hard, who literally, instead of saying things, I walked the talk. The things that I said I was going to say. For example, I'm very opinionated with anything diversity and inclusion because, as I've said, I've experienced discrimination myself. So I walk the talk, I build a product, I build the change. I worked really hard. I impacted a lot of people. And more importantly, the world has changed somehow because I existed. So that's that. It's as simple as that. I wanna help other people get to fulfillment of their lives and their dreams. And yeah, and I obviously wanna be happy while I do all of these things. And more importantly, I wanna feel that I learned a lot. I really like learning. The process of learning every single day, learning a new thing makes me super happy. So if I don't learn something new, I consider day as, you know, as like a flop or something. So yeah, it's very simple. I'm actually a very simple person, I'm not that complicated. [00:36:30] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah. Okay. And then final question. What is one thing that makes you smile every time you see or think about it? [00:36:39] Maria Artunduaga: Oh, cute. I mean, obviously my daughter. So I'm a mom. I'm 44, well, almost 45, and I had her at 42. So just thinking about her makes me smile every single time. She's a miracle baby. She's, you know, after four years of IVF, eight retrievals, it finally happened. I finally had her, and having her in my life has turned my world upside down in the best way. She's determined, and she's only three. She's diving into doing all sorts of things. She's doing gymnastics, she's building Legos, she's doing engineering stuff. I really like that "I can do anything attitude" and obviously I'm sort of like reinforcing her to do anything she wants to try. So seeing her try all these new things, all this confidence that I, that she has. It's like, I don't know. I mean, that inspires me. That motivates me to be a better mom, a better CEO, and to do exactly the same thing with the people that I work with. So everyone in my company, I I tell them I'm a mom, right? So, remember that, and I try to do the same with them. It's like I tell them, what do you wanna do? What do you wanna learn this month? What do you need? Right? My work as a CEO is getting the resources and put out the fires. Just tell me, and this is your playground, so I'm trying to do exactly the same with my daughter too. But yeah, I'm very happy with her. [00:38:07] Lindsey Dinneen: Aw, that's wonderful. I'm so glad. Well, oh my goodness, this conversation has been amazing. I kind of wish it didn't have to end, but I also wanna respect your time 'cause obviously you have so much going on. But thank you so much for sharing about your story, your advice. You're so inspiring, and I know this is gonna inspire so many people to go for it, and not to have the fear, to have that problem solving mentality, and growth mindset and learning and, hey, look where curiosity got you. [00:38:37] Maria Artunduaga: Yeah, exactly. That's a perfect slogan. It's all about that curiosity and it gets you places. Look at me. [00:38:43] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, exactly. Yeah. And this is just the start. [00:38:47] Maria Artunduaga: Yes, of course. [00:38:48] Lindsey Dinneen: Indeed. So I just wanna say thank you again for your time today, and we just wish you the most continued success as you work to change lives for a better world. [00:38:58] Maria Artunduaga: Thank you so much and thank you again for invitation. I really enjoyed it. [00:39:02] Lindsey Dinneen: Yeah, absolutely. Me too. And we are honored to be making a donation on your behalf as a thank you for your time today to the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, which is dedicated to preventing animal cruelty in the United States. We really appreciate you choosing that organization to support and thank you just again, so very much for your time here today.

#NEWWORLDREPORT: BOGOTA ASSASSIN. JOSEPH HUMIRE @JMHUMIRE @SECUREFREESOC. ERNESTO ARAUJO, FORMER FOREIGN MINISTER REPUBLIC OF BRAZIL. #NEWWORLDREPORTHUMIRE 1930
It's Tuesday, June 10th, A.D. 2025. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Panama grants asylum to 11 Iranian Christians Eleven Christian asylum seekers from Iran have been given a 6-month reprieve in Panama. A 27-year-old woman, Artemis Ghasemzadeh, told International Christian Concern that “If you're a Muslim and you convert to Christianity, it's a problem. The police want to catch you.” The Christians will continue searching for a country that will take them to avoid repatriation, imprisonment, and possibly death if they return to Iran. According to Open Doors, Iran is the ninth most dangerous country worldwide for Christians. Cuban prosecutors threatening pastor and wife with prison Cuban prosecutors are threatening eight years of imprisonment for a Christian pastor and his wife who mentioned God in a public trial. Pastor Luis Guillermo Borjas and his wife, Roxana Rojas, of the Assemblies of God, were detained on May 19th for mentioning God's justice in a trial involving their son. The trial for the couple is scheduled for this week. Please keep Pastor Luis and his wife Roxana n your prayers. Open Doors reports that Cuba is the 26th most difficult country worldwide in which to be a Christian. Franklin Graham: We need evangelists who are unafraid and unapologetic A thousand delegates attended the European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin, Germany at the end of last month. Fifty-nine years ago, Evangelist Billy Graham addressed the first European Congress on Evangelism in Berlin. BILLY GRAHAM: “The city of Berlin has influenced the world in every field. What a place from which to shout to the world: Christ is the Savior.” On May 30th, Evangelist Franklin Graham, his son, addressed the conference as well. FRANKLIN GRAHAM: “The Gospel has power. We're going to reach Europe. We need an army -- an army of evangelists -- unafraid, unashamed, unapologetic, uncompromising.” In his closing remarks, Graham spoke of the opposition he received in England recently. He said, “When we were losing our contracts in the U.K., it was coming from the LGBT+ community. They were the ones opposing us, who have the rainbow flags, which I see as the flags for the anti-Christ. And they wanted to have victory. Well, God gave us victory! … This is the group coming after us. … “So, don't compromise, and be strong. Fulfill your ministry. We know there's going to be suffering and challenges, some fights, but let's be strong. We go in the power of the name of Jesus Christ, King of kings and Lord of lords.” Conservative Columbian presidential candidate shot in head The conservative candidate for President in Columbia, Miguel Turbay, was shot three times on Saturday, twice in the head. The 39-year-old senator remains in serious condition in a Bogota hospital. U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio said, “We stand in prayer with Miguel's family, loved ones, and his supporters. Those responsible for this attack must face justice.” Lenin statue toppled in Kyrgyzstan The legacy of atheist tyrants does not last forever. Kyrgyzstan is removing a 75-foot-tall monument of Vladimir Lenin in the city of Osh. Photos showing Lenin's statue face down on the ground were made public over the weekend. This comes as Moscow has just installed a large monument to the communist dictator Joseph Stalin in a city subway. Keep in mind Psalm 49:12-13, 16. It says, “Man in his pomp yet without understanding is like the beasts that perish. This is the path of those who have foolish confidence; yet after them people approve of their boasts. … Be not afraid when a man becomes rich, when the glory of his house increases. For when he dies, he will carry nothing away; his glory will not go down after him.” (ESV) CA protestors clash with ICE over illegals; Trump send 2,000 troops California protestors who are at odds with the Trump administration's policy on arresting illegal immigrants have taken to the streets, creating mayhem in major cities, reports The EpochTimes.com. Police arrested 150 protesters in San Francisco, and about 60 in Los Angeles over the weekend. The riots started with protestors attempting to thwart Immigration and Custom Enforcement's arrests in Los Angeles on Friday. President Trump has deployed 2,000 National Guard troops. California Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom is calling for a withdrawal. Plus, California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a court order attempting to gain a restraining order on the deployment. Silver hits an all-time high Silver has hit a 13-year high — topping out around $36.70 per ounce on Monday. Gold is still hovering around $3,330 per ounce. The gold to silver ratio is still about the highest it has been in history — right around 90:1. The ratio has averaged around 65:1 since the year 2000. Historically, prior to the 1920s, the ratio was about 20:1. Michael Tait of Christian band Newsboys confesses to sexual sin The Contemporary Christian Music band, Newsboys, revealed over the weekend that lead singer, Michael Tait confessed to having been leading a “double life.” This comes after a lengthy investigative report was released from the Julie Roys organization, alleging drug abuse and the sin of homosexual behavior on the part of the lead singer. The report included multiple testimonies of scandalous behavior dating back as far as 2005. Michael Tait was a founding member of dc Talk, another big Christian Contemporary band from the 1990s. The two bands won 20 Dove Awards and four Grammys combined. The Newsboys group was featured in the films God's Not Dead, God's Not Dead 2, and God's Not Dead: A Light in Darkness. Actor Tim Allen reading through whole Bible Tim Allen, known for his role in the sitcom Home Improvement, is reading through the whole Bible. He posted on X that since beginning the challenge last year, he's finished reading the whole Old Testament. He called the read a “humbling overwhelming experience.” And, he said, “What a treasure!” Allen just posted that he is in the book of Romans. He announced last year that this would be the first time he has ever read the Bible. Psalm 19:8, 10-11 says, “The statutes of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; The commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes. More to be desired are they than gold, Yea, than much fine gold; Sweeter also than honey and the honeycomb. Moreover, by them, Your servant is warned. And in keeping them, there is great reward.” See The American Miracle movie tonight Last night, I brought my family to see The American Miracle docudrama in San Antonio, Texas. It's in 1,000 theaters through Wednesday, June 11th. We loved it. It was inspirational to learn about God's providential intervention in human history to enable America to win the War for Independence against seemingly insurmountable odds. We especially enjoyed hearing a portion of Daniel Webster's speech given on July 4, 1826, on the 50th anniversary of the birth of America and the deaths that day of Thomas Jefferson, age 83, and John Adams, age 90. TAYLOR: “My name is James Arnold Taylor. I played Daniel Webster in The American Miracle. The most powerful thing is the power of Providence on this country that we have forgotten. I can't wait for everybody to be blessed by this film and to know that we're here for a purpose and that God has a plan.” The people who have seen the film, including this homeschool mom, have raved. HOMESCHOOL MOM: “I was very inspired by this film. I'm just a home school mama who just finished 25 years of homeschooling my three kids. And as I was watching this film, I thought, ‘I've poured into my kids. Now, I wish so many other people could hear this story.' This message could go out to so many kids who don't have the privilege of homeschooling.” MOM #2: “This movie will help you equip your children to understand the true history of America.” Go to www.AmericanMiracleMovie.com, watch the trailer, click on the Tickets tab, type in your zipcode, and purchase tickets for tonight or Wednesday night since it's only in the theaters for a total of three days. 21 Worldview listeners gave $2,439.20 to fund our annual budget And finally, toward our midpoint goal of $61,750 to fund half of The Worldview newscast's annual budget by this Friday, June 13th, 21 listeners stepped up to the plate.

(Drum roll sound effect) $14,671.20 (People clapping sound effect) That means we still need to raise $47,078.80 by this Friday, June 13th to hit the half-way mark, to stay on the air, and fund our 6-member Worldview newscast team for another fiscal year. Listen to this. On Saturday night, I spoke to Scooter in Naples, Florida who was moved by God to give something bigger due to the challenge from my Michigan friend to consider larger gifts. He has generously offered to match, dollar for dollar, the next 12 Worldview listeners who give a one time gift of $1,000.

Print story South Korean federal and local governments are offering up to $29,000 in cash to couples who agree to get married. The Korean Times also reports that government-provided benefits intending to stir up romantic interest include $370 for dating expenses, $750 for engagement meeting costs, and $7,500 for travel subsidies. Korean and other Asian societies maintain a very low illegitimacy rate. So, marriage is supposed to help the birth dearth. South Korea's fertility rate is just about the lowest in the world — 0.75 child per woman.
