"The source material for my submission to this most recent Cities & Memory call is a field recording by Shaye Thiel, a New York artist whose medium is sound, hearing, perception, and the practice of attention. She is hard-of-hearing and these sounds were recorded with her hearing aids. "I chose to work with and reinterpret Thiel's field recording because I really loved the description of her art and work provided in her cv [https://shayethiel.com]. I encourage you to read it! I first started making ambient/minimal music as a way to address personal issues with tinnitus, insomnia, and anxiety. I really took Brian Eno's “as interesting as it is ignorable” quote to heart, because that sort of liminal music had personally provided me a lot of relief. "I'm interested in creating music that isn't necessarily musical; that uses barely perceptible elements to draw attention or distract it; in which heard sounds or rhythms might actually exist or might simply be created by the convergence of other sounds, the cancellation of frequencies, or who knows what. As Thiel puts it in her cv, sounds that are “entangled, co-created and in constant negotiation.” "My piece was entirely created and assembled in Koala Sampler on my iPhone. "All melodic elements, however simple or complex, have as their root the same single wave cycle, sliced from somewhere in the nineteen-minute recording. "Some of the rhythmic elements are samples from the recording, and some are random noises from Fractal Bits."New York hearing aid soundscape reimagined by daddy fall down.

Our faith is about relationships wherever we are - even, as Paul and Silas found, in a prison cell. But our suffering can be overshadowed by Christ, who promises to be there with us. Scripture: Acts 16:16-34

The fight against porn is likely to be a daily battle for the rest of your life, but that isn't bad news. Not if you're equipped, ready, and willing to engage. This final chapter examines how to resist pornography on a daily basis, what sanctification entails in everyday life, and how genuine gospel transformation is sustained over time.

In the last chapter, we saw that pornography isn't just a behavior problem—it's a false gospel, a counterfeit attempt to reclaim intimacy, beauty, and identity apart from God. But when we uncover the spiritual roots of this struggle and embrace who we are in Christ, the strongholds begin to fall. The call isn't simply to “stop sinning,” but to step into the fullness of life as beloved sons and daughters—walking in holiness and community. To see how this unfolds in real life, let's revisit our three characters.

2 Peter 12-22

Lead Pastor - Tim Hatch

There's a constant stream of noise surrounding pornography—competing voices offering data, opinions, and solutions. Some emphasize brain science and addiction; others point to its ties to sex trafficking or the unraveling of social values. Cultural shifts in dating, along with rising levels of fear, anxiety, shame, and inner turmoil, only add to the confusion. It's like trying to tune an old analog radio—how do we separate the signal from all the static? How do we find wisdom, not just more information? This tension matters because the fight against porn addiction begins in the mind. How you think about what's happening shapes the practical steps you take to address it.

Nicholas Lares is the founder of Insur3Tech, a syndicated insurance group built for real estate owners and operators. Before entering real estate insurance, Nicholas was one of the largest brokers for Amazon's logistics network. When carrier exits threatened his clients' ability to operate, he helped them build a collective, self-insured alternative rather than accept the market's terms. That same model now powers Insurer Tech, which enables property owners, operators, and investors to retain the profits traditional insurers keep, averaging $28 million in annual distributions per 100,000 units.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways The traditional insurance market is a negative feedback loop: rising premiums drive more claims, which drive premiums higher Every premium you pay includes broker commissions, administrative overhead, and margin that never comes back to you Good-risk operators are pooled with bad-risk ones and effectively subsidize the market's worst performers Captive insurance gives participants a co-ownership stake and returns annual profits when the pool performs well Residents can be enrolled in the same captive, turning renters insurance into a separate profit center Getting into a captive earlier compounds the financial benefit significantly over 5 to 10 years     Topics Why Insurance Costs Keep Rising Pre-2020, insurance was a manageable expense; post-Covid, premiums surged to the point where operators began questioning the ROI Policyholders started filing more claims to justify rising costs, which accelerated the cycle further Carriers facing unsustainable losses began exiting markets entirely, most visibly in Florida, California, and Texas How Traditional Insurance Actually Works Premiums are priced on pooled risk across millions of policies, not based on your individual property's claims history Every premium includes roughly 30% in administrative costs, 10-15% in broker commissions, projected claims, and a margin buffer on top When the pool outperforms projections, the surplus flows to carrier shareholders, not policyholders The Captive Insurance Model Captive programs have existed for decades, originally built for Fortune 500 companies and large industrial operators A captive functions like a controlled bank account, backed by a reinsurance program, where unused premium returns to the owner Insurer Tech builds group cell captives, making co-ownership accessible to operators who cannot support a standalone captive independently How Insurer Tech Works Unnecessary margin layers, including excess broker commissions and profit buffers, are removed and redirected to members Year-end surplus is distributed to participants; there are no external shareholders Members choose their risk level: with or without reinsurance backing, depending on portfolio size and claims history The Leverage Problem in Traditional Insurance Clean-record operators have almost no meaningful leverage to negotiate premiums because pricing is determined by pooled market behavior Captives realign incentives: when participants think like owners, they manage risk more carefully and file fewer claims Moving good-risk operators out of the traditional pool separates them from the bad actors they were subsidizing Who Qualifies Insurer Tech works across all real estate types, including multifamily, single-family, self-storage, and commercial, as long as a lease agreement is in place The resident piece (renters insurance) typically targets 50+ units to generate a net surplus for the captive Operators with fewer units can pool with other investors in their market to meet the threshold A Real-World Example An 80-unit multifamily property in Georgia: total property insurance cost was $14,000 per year After captive returns, the net cost dropped to approximately $11,500 per year Resident renters insurance through the same captive generated roughly $20,000 in annual profit The result: the owner's insurance cost is fully offset, with a net surplus of approximately $9,000 per year

No godly parent wakes up thinking, “How can I lead my child toward pornography today?” And yet, it happens. Parents unintentionally train their children toward a distorted view of sex by what they do, what they ignore, and what they fail to value in the home. This chapter is not a list of parenting failures to shame you; it is a sober warning about the unintended ways we may contribute to the porn problem, even while sincerely desiring our children to walk in purity. Ignorance is not innocence. A careless or inconsistent home can become the training ground for porn use later in life.

There is freedom in Christ! Freedom from sin, addiction, demons, and anything that would try to control you! Freedom may seem impossible, but with God it's possible. The Bible is filled with stories of faithful men and women doing the impossible. They accomplished what the Lord instructed them to do even though it was humanly impossible. In studying these testimonies we discover powerful insights and spiritual principles that we can imitate so that we too can do the impossible!

We talk with Mark Gaunya about why employer health insurance often feels like a casino where the house wins and how employers can flip the odds with transparency, ownership, and smarter plan design. We break down how captive risk sharing works, what it takes to implement, and the real financial and employee-experience wins that come from getting off the less bad renewal hamster wheel. • Why the US healthcare system “works” as designed for rulemakers, not end users • How the less bad renewal cycle traps employers without claims data and transparency • Why Mark wrote Captivated Health and how case studies teach faster than jargon • Captive insurance versus traditional self-funding, including stop loss and risk layers • The four pillars of Captivated Health: members first, consumerism, wellbeing culture, self-governance • How employers can control the SPD, stop loss contract, and TPA agreement • outcomes from captive ownership: lower trend, pharmacy control, surplus, and rebate distributions • Practical stories: bundled maternity pricing plus shared savings, adding LASIK through plan design • The leadership mindset shift from system decision to self-decision • What implementation really looks like for HR and finance without adding headcount If you're an employer and you're struggling with these kinds of issues, and most of you are,  or if you're a broker and you have clients who are struggling with these issues, please get the book, "Captivated Health. Take Control. Gain Transparency. Leverage Confidence." CLICK HERE

In this Monday reflection on Jude 5–16, the letter's central concern becomes clear: these false teachers are not being led by the Spirit but by their own unchecked desires — almost certainly the Gnostics encountered in Second and Third John, who believed the body was irrelevant and therefore lived however they pleased. Jude's devastating poetic description of them — waterless clouds, twice-dead trees, wild waves, wandering stars — paints the picture of lives completely unmoored. The deeper question Jude raises is one of captivity: we are all captive to something, and the only choice is whether we'll be captive to God and his Spirit or to our own desires. One leads to life; the other to destruction. Make me a captive, Lord — that's the prayer. The reflection also pauses on a fascinating detail: both the story of Michael disputing with Satan over Moses's body and the prophecy of Enoch come not from Scripture but from Jewish legend and extra-biblical texts. Jude quotes them not to canonize them, but because his audience knew them and they illustrated his point — a reminder that the Bible was written by real people in real cultural contexts, and knowing that context only helps us understand it better.Join us for our daily reflections with Andy. In 10 short minutes, he'll dig a little deeper into Scripture and help you better understand God's Word.You can read today's passage here - https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Jude%205-16&version=NRSVUEClick here if you'd like to join our GroupMe and receive this each morning at 7:00 a.m. CST. - https://groupme.com/join_group/107837407/vtYqtb6CYou can watch this reflection in video form and subscribe to my Substack here - https://www.revandy.org 

Our thoughts move fast. Reactions come even faster. And if we're not careful, what we think in a moment can shape what we say—and how we show up in our relationships.Jesus invites us to pause. To pay attention to what we're thinking, and to take our thoughts captive before they turn into words.Because even a brief moment of awareness—asking why am I thinking this? and do I want to respond from here?—can begin to change the direction of a conversation.Try it: think about what you think about.

The number of companies funding global employee benefits via a captive has increased over 400% in past 20 years.  While the traditional captive program was seen as a solution for only the largest multinationals, Aon's cell captive innovation allows companies with much smaller global footprints to leverage.Introduced in 2025, Aon's cell captive provides quick access to a captive infrastructure, while offering greater flexibility on local fronting insurance partners across the world.  Two of Aon's leading experts on global benefits financing and captive solutions share their views on the current market, and why the cell captive has become a popular alternative funding platform.

Have you ever compared your disobedient thoughts to a criminal on the run? In the same way a criminal must be overpowered, apprehended, and taken into captivity…so must our sinful thoughts.

Recorded live at the Captive Insurance Companies Association Conference, this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI features Stephen Taylor, director of the Bureau of Captive and Financial Insurance Products at the Delaware Department of Insurance. Mr. Taylor discusses Delaware's regulatory philosophy, highlighting a balance of flexibility, efficiency, and innovation supported by a collaborative and responsive oversight framework designed to meet evolving business needs. The conversation explores how regulators distinguish between thoughtful and reactive captive evolution, with a focus on governance, capital adequacy, and alignment with enterprise risk strategy. Mr. Taylor outlines key regulatory priorities, including solvency oversight, compliance with approved plans of operation, and additional scrutiny for certain captive structures. He also provides practical guidance on effective communication with regulators and emphasizes the importance of deliberate planning, strong governance frameworks, and consistency between strategy and execution.

For the first time ever, a captive-raised deer has been released into the wild whitetail population to slow the spread of Chronic Wasting Disease (CWD). The historic move is part of a program instituted by the Oklahoma state legislature in 2024. The Chronic Wasting Disease Genetic Improvement Program is intended to bolster wild deer genetics by releasing captive deer that have a resistance—though not an immunity—to the always-fatal disease. But...

Note for DFW Advisors: Be sure to listen to the end for details on our upcoming joint event on April 16th in Plano, Texas, where we will teach you the strategy and storytelling frameworks needed to sell captives effectively.2025 was a brutal year for health insurance renewals, driven largely by poor risk pricing and the delayed healthcare consequences of 2020. If you are an advisor still relying on spreadsheets to win business in this market, you are playing a losing game. Today's employers are tired of buying solely on price - they want real value, stability, and transparency.My guest, David Voorhees, CEO and Founder of True Captive, returns to the show to give a "State of the Union" on the medical captive space. We discuss why True Captive operates on the belief that "if you've seen one captive, you've seen one captive," how they differentiate themselves by putting up collateral for their members, and why individualized cost-containment strategies have allowed them to average sub-double-digit renewals for four consecutive years.▶▶ Sign Up For Your Free Discovery Callcompletegameu.com/agaCONNECT WITH ANDY NEARY

Have you ever accused yourself of something that was not true? It's when you gaslight yourself, telling yourself something that is false. Any false argument launched against yourself can quickly turn into a mental stronghold that could debilitate you spiritually. We are susceptible to false arguments that can take control of our minds. These recurring thought patterns, when left unchecked, will become the dominating arguments of our minds, even to the point where they become our new truth—our new way of thinking. A stronghold is the instrument that shapes how we interpret and respond to life.

When a family sailing journey ends in capture by child soldiers during Mozambique's civil war, a man must protect his children while confronting the unsettling truth that his captors are both perpetrators of violence and children shaped by it. Today's episode featured Dave Muller. Dave has written about his experiences in a book entitled, “Not Child's Play”, available where books are sold or at https://notchildsplay.co.uk/ You can email Dave at dave.muller@notchildsplay.co.za Dave is on Instagram @davenotchildsplay, on Facebook @Dave Muller and on YouTube @DaveMuller-NotChildsPlayIn the 1960s and 1970s, both South Africa and Mozambique were part of the larger decolonization of Africa, with South Africa gaining full independence from Britain in 1961 and Mozambique gaining independence from Portugal in 1975. However, in the decolonization process, both were thrown into proxy battles, between old structures clinging to power and the larger global cold war between communist and capitalist superpowers. South Africa, even after independence, was still ruled by a white minority government, under the National Party. The National Party was populated mostly by the white ethnic group known as Afrikaners who spoke a language called Afrikaans. The National Party instituted apartheid, a brutally oppressive system of institutionalized racial segregation and white supremacy enforced in South Africa from 1948 to the early 1990s. South Africa shares a northeastern border with Mozambique. When Mozambique gained independence in 1975, they were ruled by the Communist party known as FRELIMO. FRELIMO became a major force opposing apartheid in neighboring South Africa. The South African apartheid government, in response to FRELIMO's opposition, actively destabilized Mozambique from the inside by propping up a rebel group known as RENAMO. This led to a violent 15-year civil war in Mozambique, between the ruling, communist-backed FRELIMO party and the South African-backed RENAMO rebel group. In the first part of today's episode, you'll hear our storyteller speak about growing up in South Africa during apartheid as a white man, but he was not an Afrikaner, and grew up in a family that was opposed to apartheid. The second part of the story takes place in Mozambique, where he and his family are held by the RENAMO rebel group and caught in the chaos and fighting between FRELIMO and RENAMO, the two warring factions in the civil war there. Of course there is much more to say about all of this, and Dave will speak to some of these issues as he experienced them. I encourage you all to read more about the brutal and complex history of decolonization and apartheid in Africa. And one final note, you'll hear Dave talking about “Arwen” several times. In case it isn't clear right away, he is referring to his boat that he built.
