Love you, B RESOURCES/LINKS Guests Pastor Cesar Delgado, Associate Pastor, Revere Church Sam Tenney, Guest Experience Director, Revere Church Takeaways The importance of being candid and real in conversations about dating. Dating and relationships can be challenging, especially in ministry contexts. Statistics can reveal the realities of the dating landscape. Values alignment is crucial for successful relationships. Clear communication is essential in dating. Men often struggle with expressing their intentions clearly. Women should also take responsibility for their dating expectations.

This week on Preach, we launch a new series: Preaching for the Sacraments—how homilists can bring depth and imagination to their preaching during some of the Catholic Church's most meaningful rites. To set the stage, host Ricardo da Silva, S.J., speaks with Anthony Ruff, O.S.B., Benedictine monk and professor of liturgy at Saint John's School of Theology and Seminary in Minnesota. Together they unpack what sacraments truly are—and how to preach them with both depth and imagination. “A sacrament is not a vending machine where we put the thing in our action and then the thing comes out automatically,” Anthony explains. “God acts through symbols such as water and oil and laying on hands and exchanging the peace with one another and singing together.” Grace is not dispensed mechanically, but unfolds through real human experience: “If I'm becoming more human and growing in community, I'm being divinized.” Preaching at sacramental celebrations must therefore begin with the lives of those gathered, not abstract theology. “I really try to say, what's the word that will be Christ for them, that will resonate with their experience?” Anthony reflects. “We really have to think about the whole life of this community—and then our homily is a part of that.” In this episode: 00:00 – ‘A sacrament is not a vending machine' 01:10 – Introduction 02:40 – Meet Anthony Ruff: monk and teacher 04:00 – About the Compelling Preaching Grant 08:10 – What is a sacrament?

Show Notes: David A. Fields talks about how AI is affecting consulting firms. David clarifies that his company's active client base is 30-50 firms, and they are being asked more frequently to help firms with an AI strategy. In terms of size, 20% of their business is solo consultants, while the rest are mostly businesses that range from $2 million to $100 million.  Consulting Firms and AI Adoption David explains that the average revenue per FTE in consulting has remained around $250,000 for the past decade.He notes that firms are looking to create the same revenue with fewer people, which is the big promise of AI. He mentions the wide range of AI adoption rates among firms, from those just starting with chatbots to those seeing significant productivity gains. He also highlights the impact of AI on hiring junior people, with firms debating whether to hire junior analysts or use AI for faster, cheaper work. How High-Adopter Firms Use AI The conversation turns to examples of high-adopter firms and the tools they use. David describes a Canadian client that has seen 60% productivity gains by replacing functions with AI, including analysis, presentations, and proposals. The client has taken a hard line on not hiring anyone if AI can replace the function, leading to significant productivity gains and faster client results. David explains that the client uses AI to create summaries of context discussions, and templates for presentations and proposals, which are then populated with data. Additionally, AI speeds turnaround time, and has reduced the need to hire more people to do analysis or when the number of clients increases. Challenges and Opportunities in AI Adoption  David discusses the challenges of creating effective AI templates and the importance of good direction for AI tools. He mentions that firms are often building AI templates in-house with some direction from experts. He talks about the variety of AI tools available, including general-purpose tools like ChatGPT and specialized tools for specific tasks. David emphasizes the importance of staying flexible and not fully committing to any one tool by subscribing to an annual membership, as the landscape is constantly changing. Variation in AI Adoption by Functional Areas The discussion moves on to variations in AI adoption by functional areas like strategy, operations, marketing, etc. David explains that adoption rates are more driven by the founder's mindset and operational orientation rather than the specific function. He notes that some industries feel less pressure to adopt AI, while others recognize that AI delivers the analytical horsepower that is needed to stay relevant. There are varying levels of AI adoption across different firms. Predictions for AI in 2026 David predicts that the next few months will be spiky, with specialists who can provide practical applications of AI faring better. He mentions that generalist recommendation givers may struggle more. It is recognized that clients often prefer consultants with specific industry experience, which can be a challenge for AI tools. He also mentions the  limitations of AI research. When it comes to advice for junior consultants looking to enter the field, David suggests that domain expertise and knowledge that AI tools don't have are crucial for getting into consulting firms. He emphasizes the importance of being a top user of AI tools and for junior consultants to differentiate themselves by mastering AI tools and demonstrating their value to firms.

In this moving episode of Domestic Dad: Cleaning Up the Mess, Nick sits down with evangelist David Ursin to unpack a life shaped by faith, tested by trials, and transformed by grace.   David grew up in Cedar Falls, Iowa, the son of a Methodist pastor, learning early what it meant to be a “PK.” Yet despite being surrounded by church, he admits he lived in a lukewarm faith—outwardly devoted, but inwardly unsure what true surrender looked like. That all changed at 19, when a simple trip to Memphis opened his eyes to believers on fire for Jesus. In that airport, he made the decision to give God everything—and he never looked back.   David shares how fasting, Bible college, and unexpected mentorship under evangelism legends Reinhard Bonnke and Daniel Kolenda propelled him into global ministry. From learning the foundations of scripture to organizing gospel crusades for tens of thousands in Pakistan and India, David opens up about the miracles, the challenges, and the very real risks that come with preaching in hostile environments—including persecution, terrorist threats, and even moments of radical conversion among those once opposed to the gospel.   But this isn't just a story of global missions—it's also one of family. David reflects on meeting his wife Natalia, a widowed mother of two whose husband was tragically murdered. He shares how her radical act of forgiveness just one week after the killing became one of the clearest pictures of Christ he has ever seen. Together, David and Natalia built a family rooted in redemption: he legally adopted her twins earlier this year, giving them his name as their father, and they recently welcomed their first biological daughter, Evangelina, whose birth carries a powerful tie to Romans 1:16.   Throughout the conversation, David and Nick dive deep into themes of faith, forgiveness, and fatherhood. They talk about the challenges of blended families, the responsibility of spiritual leadership in the home, and why spending daily time with Jesus is the only way to lead with strength.   This episode is both inspiring and practical—a reminder that faith isn't passive, it's a verb. Whether you're wrestling with forgiveness, searching for direction, or simply navigating the everyday chaos of parenting, David's story will encourage you to trust God with everything. 00:00 Introduction and Guest Welcome 00:59 David's Early Life and Upbringing 01:56 Struggles with Faith and Youth Group Experiences 04:13 Turning Point: Encounter in Memphis 11:48 Bible College Journey 19:21 Evangelism Training and Mentorship 26:23 Organizing Mass Gospel Events 37:06 Personal Life and Meeting His Wife 41:03 Introduction to Natalia's Story 41:48 The Power of Forgiveness 42:23 A Tragic Murder and Its Aftermath 43:27 Reflections on Forgiveness and Faith 51:02 Challenges of Blended Families 57:59 Adoption and Legal Parenthood 01:00:47 Becoming a Biological Father 01:06:30 Faith and Parenting 01:16:42 Final Thoughts and Advice   YouTube: www.youtube.com/@DomesticDadProject   Website: www.domesticdadproject.com    Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/DOMESTICDADPROJECT   Insta: https://www.instagram.com/the_domestic_dad_project   Making Jesus Known Website: www.makingjesusknown.org   David on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/evangelistdavidursin/   Donate to Making Jesus Known: https://pushpay.com/g/makingjesusknown?src=hpp

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ed Alexander discuss:Challenges and risks in forming and managing law firm partnershipsStrategic considerations and planning for succession and law firm exitsThe importance of communication, expectations, and alignment in business relationshipsDiversifying marketing and building sustainable value in a law practice Key Takeaways:Many law firm partnerships collapse because they lack a clear strategic purpose, and poor communication during both the honeymoon phase and long term creates conflicts that are nearly impossible to resolve.Setting clear expectations early—on contributions, compensation, growth, retirement, and lifestyle philosophies—can prevent disputes where one partner feels undervalued or overburdened.Selling or transitioning a law practice requires years of preparation, including transferring goodwill, maintaining referral trust, phasing into an of counsel role, and positioning the buyer as a trusted successor.The 2008–2009 global financial crisis showed how fragile referral-dependent firms can be, as many lost business overnight, underscoring the need for diversified marketing, consistent development, and team-based client service. "Partnerships, it's interesting, because they're marriages, right?

On today's AgNet News Hour, Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with Richard Matoian, former president of American Pistachio Growers and now co-operator of Matoian Brothers Farming in Easton. With decades of experience in both commodity leadership and hands-on farming, Matoian offered a unique perspective on the intersection of policy, trade, and day-to-day agricultural realities. Trade Deals and Tariffs Nick and Josh opened the show with news that Japan has agreed to a new trade deal with the United States, including a 15% baseline tariff on imports and a commitment to expand rice purchases by 75%. Matoian tied this directly to the pistachio industry, stressing that tariffs aren't about punishing trade partners but about achieving a level playing field. He recalled that for years U.S. commodities faced hidden tariff barriers abroad, and said the Trump administration's efforts have forced many to confront those inequities. Regulatory Burdens and Water Policy Matoian reflected on how California's regulatory environment has shifted over the decades, calling it “death by a thousand cuts.” New rules, from water restrictions to pesticide reporting mandates, add layers of difficulty for growers already facing razor-thin margins. He warned that transparency rules like public “spray day” postings could even bring protesters into the fields, creating safety risks for workers and growers alike. Water, as always, remained central to the conversation. Despite historic rains, he noted that state policy has left much of the resource untapped, pushing more farmers into groundwater reliance and leaving thousands of acres fallowed. “People just don't understand what it takes to put food on the table,” Matoian said. Pistachios, Raisins, and Grapes Matoian detailed how pistachio growers secured an anti-dumping tariff against Iran in the 1980s, a move that protected the U.S. industry and helped it grow into a global powerhouse. He suggested other commodities may need to explore similar tools as imports continue to challenge California products like raisins and tomatoes. Turning to his own farm, Matoian discussed 90 acres of table grapes and 40 acres of pistachios, noting that table grapes remain especially labor-intensive. With about 65 workers in the fields at harvest, he stressed that automation is limited when presentation and precision matter most. Looking Ahead Matoian advised young farmers to find a niche—whether in crop choice, marketing, or management—if they want to succeed in today's competitive climate. “If you're the grower that has always been, you're going to struggle,” he said.

SummaryNick Cohen and Anne Applebaum discuss the current state of democracy in the United States and Europe, focusing on the rise of populism and identity politics, while exploring how political figures maintain support despite policy failures. They examined the systematic dismantling of American institutions under Trump's administration, including attacks on the civil service and potential weakening of military capabilities, while also discussing the emerging alliance between authoritarian states opposed to American influence. The conversation concluded with a discussion of the current state of American politics, including the narrow margins in recent elections and the need for effective opposition strategies to defend democratic values both in the U.S. and across Europe.Democracy's Challenges in Populist EraAnne and Nick talk about the current state of democracy in the United States and Europe, focusing on the rise of populism and the shift towards identity politics. Anne highlighted how political figures like Nigel Farage in the UK and Donald Trump in the US have maintained support despite policy failures, attributing it to the emotional appeal of their cultural identities. They explored the question of whether real-world issues like inflation and healthcare are now less important than online cultural battles. Andrew asked Anne about the dangers facing American democracy, to which she responded that it is indeed in danger, but the outcome is still uncertain.The UK must wake up to the MAGA reality! Anne argues that the UK should wake up to the new reality - Powerful elements at the top of the Trump White House & MAGA not only consider the so-called "special relationship" as not only over but see the UK as an enemy. Anne says, there's a very powerful strain. Inside this administration and inside the American far right who really hate Britain. And they hate Europeans and they hate the Germans. ... there's a constant narrative about how the British violate free speech and how, you know, Britain is, an extreme left country and so on."She says, " I'm not saying they dominate this administration, and you won't hear this from Marco Rubio, but there is a strain inside MAGA, which essentially reflects Russian propaganda. ... there's a piece of, of that movement that doesn't really want anything to do with Britain or Europe anymore....I would watch out for that and as I said, have a contingency plan and think about a world in which the United States is run by people who are hostile to Britain."
