Get ready to move your body and hear the Word of God! This REVING the Word endurance training session blends movement with biblical teaching on whole brain, whole body theology. Discover how physical activity activates more of your emotional brain (limbic system), allowing God's truth to sink deeper than just reasoning or information alone. Exercise isn't just good for your body—it's good stress (eustress) that builds resilience and opens your heart to receive from the Lord. Key Scripture: Haggai 2:7-9 (NIV) What to Expect in this Episode: Move to Engage the Whole Brain: Science shows that movement lights up the emotional centers of the brain, helping us process God's Word not just intellectually, but experientially—heart, soul, mind, and strength. Exercise as Good Stress: Physical activity is the healthy kind of stress your body needs, countering the bad stress of life and preparing you to receive God's peace. The Reminder of Rebellion: When we resist God's call (like ignoring our bodies as His temple), He may "give us over" to the consequences—not to punish, but to lovingly win us back and draw us into freedom. God's Promise in Haggai: He shakes things up to bring greater glory and ultimate peace. The "latter house" (our bodies, the Church, the new covenant) surpasses the former in splendor because Jesus, the Desire of All Nations, fills it. This Year's Call: Step into a better body—not defined by size or performance, but marked by God's peace. Let Him shake off what's weighing you down and fill you with His glory. Best enjoyed with: Headphones Your favorite workout gear A water bottle nearby An open heart ready to move, trust, and play again Let's go—move your body, hear the Word of the Lord, and step into the freedom that He's up to something good!

Der Start verläuft chaotisch: Das Auto defekt, das Dachzelt verschwunden – doch nach vier Tagen Schrauben geht es endlich los. Über Botswana und einen spontanen Helikopterflug über das Okavango-Delta führt die Route weiter zu den Victoriafällen und durch das faszinierende Malawi. Dort erlebt Manni paradiesische Strände, Mountainbike-Abenteuer und herzliche Begegnungen. In Tansania kommt es zu einer unvergesslichen Elefantenbegegnung, bevor er in Kenia seine Grenzen testet – bei einer Trekkingtour auf den 4.985 Meter hohen Mount Kenya und einem brenzligen Zwischenfall mit einem Schusswechsel auf dem Weg nach Mombasa. Nach der Verschiffung des Autos geht die Reise über Dubai in den Oman, wo Manni menschenleere Küsten, Wadis, Wüsten und 50-Grad-Offroad-Etappen erlebt. Durch Saudi-Arabien und den Irak kämpft er sich weiter Richtung Europa, bevor in Griechenland ein Einbruchsversuch seinen Entschluss festigt: Heimwärts!

Brooklyn/ Botswana/Ariège x Paris/Londres/Kingston, à vos marques ! Notre 1ère invitée est l'artiste américaine Natalia M. King pour la sortie de son 8ème album Afroblues. Natalia M. King est une chanteuse, compositrice et guitariste américaine qui fusionne blues, jazz, soul et folk. Voix puissante du blues et du jazz modernes, elle captive par ses interprétations émouvantes. En 2025, elle franchit une nouvelle étape avec AfroBlues, un album mêlant pop dansante, afrobeat et sonorités blues. Son premier extrait, «Dumela», rend hommage à son voyage au Botswana, à sa terre rouge et à son peuple, capturant la beauté et la sagesse de ce lieu à travers sa musique. AfroBlues sera une fusion audacieuse des genres, réunissant les rythmes contagieux de l'afrobeat, des éléments de danse électronique et le soupçon de blues qui a défini sa carrière. Ce virage musical représente l'évolution continue de Natalia M. King en tant qu'artiste ne craignant pas d'expérimenter de nouveaux sons et styles. L'album est une exploration du rythme, de l'énergie et de la fusion culturelle, autour des thèmes de l'autonomisation, de la joie et de la résilience qui sont au cœur de l'album. Grâce à sa capacité à mélanger divers éléments musicaux, AfroBlues promet d'être un ajout unique et passionnant à sa discographie. À propos du premier single «Dumela» : Il existe un petit «Royaume-Uni» qui borde l'Afrique du Sud de Nelson Mandela. Une merveilleuse opportunité, par le biais de l'amour, m'y a transportée au printemps 2024 dans le merveilleux pays africain du Botswana. Les paysages, les odeurs et les sons m'ont rappelé des souvenirs oubliés. «Dumela», qui signifie bonjour en setswana (ou tswana), est mon hommage à cette mémoire oubliée et aux belles âmes que j'ai rencontrées là-bas. Je remercie les pluies et la terre rouge qui m'ont inspirée... Dumela Botswana ! Dumela Afrique ! Merci pour votre sagesse et nous nous reverrons. Natalia M.

Composant sous des couches de couettes dans son appartement de l'Opéra, elle puisait sa chaleur non pas dans son environnement, mais dans les souvenirs du soleil des Caraïbes qu'elle venait de quitter. Ce qui devait être un voyage de deux semaines en décembre 2020 s'est transformé en deux ans et demi entre la Barbade, la Grenade — où ses parents avaient grandi — puis la Jamaïque, un long séjour qui lui a offert un nouveau sentiment d'identité. «Vivre en Jamaïque, c'était la première fois que j'habitais dans un pays à majorité noire», dit-elle. «Les Jamaïcains sont très eux-mêmes, sans s'excuser. J'ai choisi de vivre à Paris, et je me sens plus moi-même, plus expressive et plus à l'aise ici qu'à Londres, et davantage appréciée et reconnue en tant qu'artiste aussi. Mais il y a des microagressions et des microracismes auxquels nous devons faire face chaque jour en tant que personnes de couleur. Quand je suis sortie de cet environnement, je me suis dit : «Merde, c'est ça que je gérais tout ce temps.» J'avançais simplement en acceptant certains comportements négatifs comme un acte de survie mentale.» En Jamaïque, elle a collaboré avec Sly Dunbar, l'un des batteurs légendaires de l'île, le sortant presque de sa retraite pour une session improvisée.

Welcome to episode 121 of The Journey Is the Reward!All good flights must come to an end, and sadly, the incredible 15-day Southern Africa adventure of a lifetime is concluding! Join Brian and crew as their journey wraps up and they depart Botswana.  Fortunately, he remembers to pull out the microphone at the airport lounge to capture a fantastic conversation with the rest of the crew: Barb, Jim, Gerrit, and Malin. It's a bittersweet moment as the group parts ways, with Gerrit and Malin flying off to Windhoek, Namibia, while Barb, Jim, and Brian head to Johannesburg for the final leg of their "flight plan." This last push includes important city sightseeing in both Johannesburg and Pretoria, one last chance for thrilling game drive, and immersive museum visits. Of course, the trip wouldn't be complete without a crucial stop for souvenirs! The crew made sure they filled their suitcases with treasures and gifts discovered at the Artisan Market at the Rosebank Mall for everyone back home. It seems like only yesterday the trip started, but a very quick 15 days later, the adventure was over, sealed with the memory of the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! You'll hear their poignant Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, adding pure magic to this final African episode.

Interview with NexMetals Mining's CEO Morgan LekstromRecording date: 18 November 2025NexMetals Mining Corp has executed a comprehensive transformation that positions its two past-producing Botswana copper-nickel-cobalt assets as potential near-term development opportunities in a market characterised by acute supply constraints and major mining company acquisition activity.The company recently closed an US$80 million equity financing led by Texas-based institutional investor Condire Capital, which acquired a 9.9% stake, whilst existing major shareholder EdgePoint increased its position despite having no obligation to participate. The financing increased institutional ownership from 30% to 75% and eliminated US$21 million in legacy debt that had created a significant market overhang. With approximately US$90 million in cash, the company is fully funded for its 2026 work programme without near-term dilution requirements.Perhaps more significant than the financing itself is the metallurgical breakthrough that underpins the investment thesis. The original Selebi operation utilised a bulk concentrate smelter that subsequent owners dismantled. Rather than contemplate rebuilding infrastructure requiring over US$1 billion in capital, NexMetals' technical team developed concentrate-splitting technology that fundamentally alters project economics. Management now targets sub-US$500 million capital intensity per asset - a fraction of integrated smelter operations - whilst enabling cobalt recovery that previous operators could not economically achieve.The asset base comprises two distinct opportunities. Selebi represents an underground operation that produced continuously for over 30 years, with existing workings providing several years of access without additional development. The current resource stands at approximately 30 million tonnes grading 3.35% copper equivalent (roughly 1.75% copper and 1% nickel), with cobalt grades to be incorporated following metallurgical test work. Electromagnetic surveys have identified numerous additional conductive anomalies strongly associated with mineralisation, providing systematic drill targets for resource expansion.Selkirk presents a different profile as an open-pit deposit hosting over 200 million tonnes of mineralised horizon, though only 44 million tonnes currently feature in the resource estimate. The company completed a comprehensive 30,000-metre reassay programme of historical core and drilled 13 additional holes to support metallurgical test work, with a resource update expected in Q1 2026 and preliminary assessment-level economics targeted for Q2 2026.Management's strategy centres on demonstrating scale through 2026 exploration programmes before committing to development scenarios, targeting 15-20 year mine lives at optimal throughput rates. This approach positions the assets for either internal development or strategic transactions at substantially higher valuations than optimising smaller, near-term production scenarios. Selkirk, with its open-pit profile and platinum-palladium credits, may attract joint venture interest or acquisition proposals, potentially providing non-dilutive funding for Selebi North advancement.The board combines relevant experience across exploration, development, operations, and strategic transactions, including former BlackRock CIO Chris Leavy, former Gatos Silver CFO André van Niekerk (Gatos sold for US$1.2 billion), and Chairman Paul Martin (former CEO of Detour Gold). The team operates in Botswana's stable 59-year democracy with established mining infrastructure and government support for economic diversification away from diamonds.With preliminary assessments expected on both assets in 2026 and a compressed two-year strategic timeline, NexMetals has positioned itself as a potential acquisition target or development candidate in a copper-nickel market characterised by supply deficits and major company appetite for quality assets.

Reaksie kom in oor die myneministerie wat berigte dat die kabinet die verkryging van ‘n belang in De Beers wat 14,5 miljard Namibiese dollar sal kos, as onakkuraat afgemaak het.

Welcome to episode 120 of The Journey Is the Reward!Prepare for the continuing high-flying stories and adventures across Southern Africa.The episode begins with Ground Control Howie taxiing the group to the Cape Town International (CPT) for the next leg of their journey, a flight to Victoria Falls. Immediately, they encountered turbulence with Brian's Priority Pass access, resulting in a temporary grounding. However, quick thinking from either Gerrit or Jim bypassed the holding pattern. They successfully executed a rescue mission, allowing Brian to join the crew in the lounge closer to the departure gate, ensuring smooth sailing into their next flight.With ground operations complete, the crew boarded their scheduled service flight with ProFlight Zambia on a CRJ-500, as they headed toward the mighty mist of Victoria Falls. They landed safely at the Victoria Falls (VFA) aerodrome where they logged three days at the Avani hotel and enjoyed the spectacular Victoria Falls and surrounding areas.  The group also explored the town of Livingstone with a very pregnant Connie was acting as their friendly tour guide. During this layover, Malin, Gerrit and Brian also completed a cross-border transit—a quick international hop—gaining another Passport Stamp as they walked across the Victoria Falls Bridge to enter Zimbabwe. Following the successful layover, the crew transitioned smoothly into Botswana. Here they engaged in specialized safaris conducted by both land and rivercraft. Treating themselves to First Class Amenities, they enjoyed therapeutic massages by CasLea Beauty Spa. Brian, ever the charismatic traveler, found a lifelong friend in his favorite masseuse, Cassandra! The show closes with an announcement: a special recording with the whole flight crew was captured inside the airport lounge. However, listeners will have to wait for the next episode to hear the full crew banter from the terminal!And as always, our ears are blessed by the utterly soul-stirring, goosebump-inducing sounds of the Madalitso Youth Choir! Their Welcome and Goodbye songs, recorded straight from the Royal Livingston Hotel in Zambia, are pure magic.
