How can a country transform vast industries while maintaining economic momentum? And how do green ambitions translate into change for communities and households? In this episode of Generation Global, Round Table's Fei Fei brings together a Chinese expert and a UK scholar. From policy signals at the Two Sessions to international insights, they explore how China's green transition is understood at home and abroad, and what it means for the future of development.

In this episode of The High Performance Mindset, Dr. Cindra Kamphoff sits down with Glen Guyton—futurist, leadership strategist, and author of The Art of Harmonious Trust—to explore why trust is not a soft leadership concept, but a measurable performance strategy. Glen's work sits at the intersection of trust, employee retention, and future-focused talent development. Drawing from his experience across military, nonprofit, and corporate systems, Glen explains why competitive pay, perks, and policies often fail to retain high performers—and what leaders must understand about trust if they want people to stay, grow, and contribute at their highest level. Throughout the conversation, Glen introduces the concept of harmonious trust and breaks down how it differs from traditional conversations about culture. He shares the patterns he's observed in organizations that retain the right people—not just retain people—and the critical role direct supervisors play in engagement and quiet quitting. He also connects retention to skills development, workforce disruption, and future-ready talent strategy. This episode is a powerful reminder that organizations don't lose people because of change—they lose people when trust erodes during change. Leaders who build trust intentionally don't just improve morale—they create sustainable high performance.     You'll Learn: Why trust is a performance strategy—not just a leadership value The real reason high performers leave even when compensation is competitive What "harmonious trust" means and how to build it The connection between skills gaps and employee retention How supervisors directly influence engagement and quiet quitting Early warning signs that commitment is slipping One practical habit leaders can implement immediately to strengthen trust     Episode Resources & Links Learn more about Glen Guyton: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Order The Art of Harmonious Trust: https://www.glenguyton.com/ Download our 2025 Confidence Crisis Study: https://confidencestudy.com/ Request a Free Mental Breakthrough Call with Dr. Cindra or her team: https://freementalbreakthroughcall.com/ Learn more about the Mentally Strong Institute: https://mentallystronginstitute.com/  

Welcome to RoundTable new special series: Generation Global: Navigating a Changing World!

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair welcome back Luigino Bruni for a second conversation, this time exploring how churches and religious orders confront crisis. An economist and scholar of organisational life, Bruni reflects on what is at stake when Christian communities lose confidence. Attentive to the extent that the methods of management culture have become defaults for many church systems, he observes how communities are losing touch with the core of what it means to be God's people. At the heart of a Christian community is the presence of Jesus among the people of God, and the task of those entrusted with care and oversight is to help their people discern the movements of the Spirit, both among them, and in their local communities. Bruni counsels that this is not the work of outside consultants bringing business models into the church. He cautions that outsourcing can lead to confusion and weaken the heart of communal life. Instead, he believes that in the midst of our great unravelling, churches and communities facing difficulty have a special calling. He insists that “crisis itself has precious things to teach”, and that at such times, the work of a community is to embrace practices of discernment that are rooted in the confidence that Christ is among them making all things new.  Professor Luigino Bruni is an economist, an historian of economic thought and a scholar of organisational life. He is Professor of Political Economy at the Lumsa University in Rome, a public non-state Italian university formed on Catholic principles. Here he also coordinates the Phd Programme in Civil Economy. His scholarship of economics extends to biblical commentaries on the history of economic thought as well as to the religious nature of capitalism. Professor Bruni is involved in many grassroots projects devoted to developing a new economic paradigm: he is International Co-ordinator of the Economy of Communion project, a Board member of the Economy of Francesco Foundation and a member of the international Focolare movement. In addition, he is Editor-in-Chief of the International Review of Economics, an active columnist and author of many books.LinksFor Luigino Brunihttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/https://www.luiginobruni.it/it/ec-ea.htmlhttps://francescoeconomy.org/eof-board/https://lumsa.it/it/docenti/luigino-brunihttps://www.edc-online.org/it/header-pubblicazioni/luigino-bruni.htmlhttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/ec-ea/communities-are-not-businesses-managerial-culture-extinguishes-charisma.htmlhttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/ec-ea/mother-superior-or-leader-the-convent-is-not-a-business.htmlBooksThe Genesis and Ethos of the MarketCivil Economy: Another Idea of the Market co-authored with Stefano ZamagniThe Wound and the Blessing: Economics, Relationships, and HappinessCapitalism and Christianity: Origins, Spirit and Betrayal of the Market EconomyThe Economy of Salvation: Ethical and Anthropological Foundations of Market Relations in the First Two Books of the BibleThe Economics of Values-Based Organisations: An IntroductionFurther books in English listed herehttps://www.luiginobruni.it/en/books.htmlFor Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:https://t4cg.substack.com/s/editorialshttps://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/https://x.com/T4CGhttps://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKhttps://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Our Changing World host Claire Concannon chats to Jesse about what she's been discovering this week. Today they talk about the native species centrostephanus, the long spined urchin, and how it is threatening the Poor Knights Island marine reserve.

Rev. Wendy Craig-Purcell's message draws on themes from congregational input and global stress research. This message reframes peace not as a luxury but as a biological and spiritual necessity, reminding us that we don't go to peace—we come from it. Using metaphors like the eye of a hurricane and a submarine beneath stormy waters, it teaches that our divine center remains steady even when life feels overwhelming. Through practices like mindful pauses, morning intention, and conscious response, we reclaim stillness as an act of spiritual authority and strength in a speeding world.Website: http://www.theunitycenter.net Download Our New App: https://theunitycenter.churchcenter.com/setupAsk Yourself This: https://www.amazon.com/Ask-Yourself-This-Questions-Expand/dp/087159336XSubscribe to our YouTube channel: http://bit.ly/2hBqp7F Purchase Lesson Series Packages: https://theunitycenter.net/sunday-series-packagesListen to our Podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/6YJWcAhQUnkEHFqBXQmz1G

This Sunday, we'll continue our series with the prophet Daniel, a story that feels surprisingly close to home even though it was written over 2,600 years ago. Daniel and his friends lived in a culture that was pluralistic, secular, and often hostile to their faith, yet they didn't withdraw from society or react with anger. Instead, they remained faithful to God while continuing to live with integrity and influence in the world around them. From the very start, Daniel shows us that it is possible to belong fully to God while living faithfully in a culture that does not share our convictions. We'll spend time setting the historical scene as Judah is overtaken by the rising Babylonian empire and Daniel is carried into exile. What's striking is Daniel's perspective: he doesn't see these events as random or as proof that God has lost control. Scripture tells us plainly that “the Lord gave” Judah into Babylon's hands. God is not absent from history; He is actively at work, even when His people experience discipline and disruption. Nations rise and fall, but God remains sovereign, and that truth brings both humility and hope as we navigate our own uncertain times. Most of our focus will be on Daniel's early decision to resolve in his heart not to defile himself. Before pressure mounted and temptation became real, Daniel settled his convictions. Rather than protesting loudly or compromising quietly, he chose respectful obedience and trusted God with the results. We will be challenged to examine our own identities and convictions: where the world is trying to rename us, where comfort tempts us to compromise, and whether people know what we believe because of our integrity rather than our tone. Like Daniel, we are called to remain faithful to God and trust Him with the outcomes.

In a world shaken by false voices and shifting loyalties, God is calling us to be like Ittai in 2 Samuel 15:17–22—fully committed to the true King, Jesus Christ, in life or death—so let us choose today to stand faithful and follow Him wherever He leads.

Barbara McAfee, voice coach and author, explores how your voice carries early silence, family secrecy, cultural training, and unrealised gifts in the body, and how working directly with sound can restore range, authority, and emotional truth. Barbara is a voice coach, author, speaker, and performer, with over 30 years of experience helping people unlock their full voice through practical vocal techniques and tools for authentic, flexible self expression. In this episode, Lian and Barbara, explore voice as the muscle of the soul, something physical and behavioural that reveals where we have been silenced, where we adapted, and where we still hold unused range - not just vocal but all kinds of aspects of us. Barbara reflects on growing up as a secret keeper, how silence shaped her early sound, and how her voice expanded beyond what she believed possible through the Roy Hart lineage. Together they consider archetypes as living forces, energies looking for a job, and how older cultures worked with them through ritual, invocation, and sound. They look at the Five Elements as a living map of vocal expression, how earth, fire, water, metal, and air each carry distinct qualities in the body, and how landscape, gender, and class shape which of these we are permitted to use. Lian offers herself as a live example, including how partial deafness affects volume and self perception, before they experiment with laughter, yawns, and the awkward freedom of taking up more sonic space than feels polite. Listen if you notice your voice shifting depending on who you are with, like you become softer with authority, sharper with family, or uncertain about how loud you really are, and wonder what your truest, fullest expression might be.

What you'll learn from this episode: Why suppressed parts of you often show up as missing range, pitch, or volume in the voice How landscape, culture, and gender subtly train which vocal qualities feel safe to use What happens when you treat voice as a set of movable elements rather than a fixed identity Resources and stuff spoken about: Visit Barbara's Website Join Barbara on: YouTube Facebook Instagram LinkedIn Watch Barbara's TEDx talks: Bringing Your Full Voice to Life How Oral Tradition Singing Helps Us Work & Live Better Together Listen to Barbara's audiobooks: Full Voice for Leaders: Cultivating Vitality, Presence, and Impact in a Changing World  (soon to be renamed Vocal Intelligence) 2025 Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence, 2011 Barbara's paperbacks: Full Voice: The Art and Practice of Vocal Presence Vocal Intelligence: Leading with Vitality, Presence, and Impact (coming in Spring of 2026) Bandcamp: A catalogue of Barbara's original music Join UNIO, The Community for Wild Sovereign Souls: This is for the old souls in this new world… Discover your kin & unite with your soul's calling to truly live your myth.

  What if the steadiness you've been searching for isn't somewhere you need to go — it's something you already are? A lot is changing right now. For many of us, it feels like standing in a rushing river, the current pulling harder than we expected. The instinct is to move faster, do more, strategize harder. But what if the most powerful thing you could do is plant your feet? This is a SIT episode — something a little different from a typical podcast. No guest. No interview. Just host Susan Morgan Bailey guiding you through a short, grounding experience using breath, the senses, and whatever nature is available to you right now. Even if that's only a window. Susan is a former science teacher, current transformational coach, and 25-year veteran of organizational wellbeing. In this episode she introduces the sit spot — a simple practice of returning to the same place in nature each day to listen, observe, and arrive. It's one of the most accessible and quietly powerful tools she knows for finding what she calls peaceful steadiness: the place inside you that doesn't move the way the world is moving. In 20 minutes, you'll settle your breath, open your senses, and remember something that tends to get lost in the noise — that you are nature, not separate from it. And that belonging doesn't go anywhere, even when everything else seems to. No wilderness required. No special conditions. Just willingness and a place to be still. If you've been feeling the pull of everything that's changing and need somewhere to plant your feet — this episode is for you.

What if humanity's future was written 500 years ago?Dr. Amarjit Kaur Doowa didn't set out to challenge the modern world—she was searching ancient scripture for clarity in a time of division, conflict, and spiritual confusion. Why does humanity repeat cycles of fear and separation? Why do sacred teachings become distorted over time? And what if the answers we need have been waiting in plain sight for centuries?In this conversation, Dr. Doowa draws from a 500-year-old sacred text to reveal a message of unity, consciousness, and collective awakening that feels startlingly relevant today. As humanity moves through a profound shift in awareness, this discussion reframes ancient wisdom not as outdated doctrine—but as a living blueprint for healing the world from within.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/next-level-soul-podcast-with-alex-ferrari--4858435/support.Take your spiritual journey to the next level with Next Level Soul TV — our dedicated streaming home for conscious storytelling and soulful transformation.Experience exclusive programs, original series, movies, tv shows, workshops, audiobooks, meditations, and a growing library of inspiring content created to elevate, heal, and awaken.

How does the wisdom and resilience of past generations shape our ability to succeed in today's rapidly changing world? In a world of rapid change and easy access to information, the younger generations often feel disconnected from the resilience forged by their predecessors. This disconnect raises important questions about how we can bridge the gap and keep the lessons of the past in mind as we move forward. Leonard Brody, a prominent entrepreneur, venture capitalist, and author, shares his insights on the challenges faced by today's generation, the importance of resilience, and the role of entrepreneurs in shaping a better future.  He opens up about his own journey and the ways in which his family's experiences have shaped his worldview and approach to business. Leonard also discusses how the lack of direct experience with global-scale trauma in younger generations might affect their resilience and perspectives. In this episode of The Greatness Machine, Darius is joined by Leonard Brody to talk about the modern entrepreneurial landscape and the importance of bridging the gap between economic realities and personal resilience. The conversation touches on the role of entrepreneurs in addressing societal challenges and mitigating the risks of radicalization and economic disenfranchisement. Topics include: The profound impact of a knowledgeable mentor on one's career Balancing authenticity with reputation management Leonard reflects on early entrepreneurial challenges The role of luck and timing in achieving success Aligning business goals with personal life objectives Generational differences in worldview between older and younger entrepreneurs The responsibility of successful entrepreneurs in addressing societal gaps And other topics… Connect with Leonard: Website: https://hellocaravan.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lbrody Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lbrody/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/lbrody Connect with Darius: Website: https://therealdarius.com/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dariusmirshahzadeh/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imthedarius/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Thegreatnessmachine  Book: The Core Value Equation https://www.amazon.com/Core-Value-Equation-Framework-Limitless/dp/1544506708 Write a review for The Greatness Machine using this link: https://ratethispodcast.com/spreadinggreatness.  Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair talk with Cam Roxburgh about his thirty-plus years forming the Neighbourhood Church in greater Vancouver. Cam's story is one of faithful dwelling—listening to the Spirit and discerning what God is doing in the community. The conversation traces Cam's journey as a church leader, marking his shift away from what he calls “the era of projects” towards an approach centered on practices rooted in prayer, discernment and local relationships. He challenges forms of church leadership that prioritise strategy, methods, and quick outcomes - the “just add water and stir” view of the world. Instead, Cam advocates for “doing life with neighbours.” His steadfast commitment to place, despite many obstacles, has borne remarkable fruit: deep community trust, transformed lives, and even a measurable impact on the local economy. Al and Jenny explore how God has used Cam's long, patient journey to bring into being things no one could ever have imagined - a testament to his persistent patience and passionate desire to hear the Spirit even in the midst of real discouragement.Cam Roxburgh is Team Leader of The Neighbourhood Church in Burnaby, Vancouver. Here, he has been instrumental in transforming church property into a major affordable housing and community amenity development. He also leads Forge Canada and is Vice President of Missional Initiatives for the North American Baptists. Cam is driven by a love for the church and a desire to see people fulfil a Jesus-shaped life as disciples dwelling in their neighbourhoods. Cam is also co-founder and co-leader of the Commons Cooperative, a transatlantic group of pioneers and practitioners across denominations who have come together to “join in with God to form communities of hope” in the places people call home. Cam and his wife Shelley live in Surrey, British Columbia.For Cam Roxburgh:http://www.southside.ca/https://forgeca.wordpress.com/https://www.thecommonscooperative.com/abouthttps://churchforvancouver.ca/burnaby-church-plans-45-storey-project-in-partnership-with-bc-builds/For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://x.com/T4CG Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

As Keir Starmer flies to Germany for the Munich Security Conference, Westminster Insider Host Sascha O'Sullivan finds out if the Prime Minister's time abroad has damaged him here at home – and if it has, if it's been worth it.  Sascha spoke to half a dozen current or former Labour advisors or government insiders about Starmer's approach to foreign policy. With the help of POLITICO Foreign and Defense Correspondent Esther Webber, she pieces together Starmer's legacy on the world stage.  Olivia O'Sullivan, director of UK in a Changing World at Chatham House, says the Prime Minister has managed to secure "the least worst option" with Donald Trump.  And Peter Ricketts, former head of the U.K.'s diplomatic service, said the shift towards “a hyper-personalized world” demands Starmer's presence. “Unless you are in the room with Donald Trump, you're not influencing him," Ricketts added.

In this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair speak with Andrew Willard Jones about how to live humanly within the empire of modernity. Andrew traces his journey, from a secular upbringing, to embracing the Catholic tradition and a deep commitment to family and community. An exceptional thinker among a new generation of Catholic theologians, he explores how modernity and its liberalisms have fundamentally reshaped our understanding of the world and what it means to be human. But this is no retreat into religious or academic abstraction. Andrew lives and works daily in a growing community embodying a shared Christian life—an “other kingdom” that echoes Augustine in our age of unravelling. This conversation reveals a cosmic dimension to everyday life: a way of living shaped by the love of God has the potential to transform all of society. It also raises urgent questions for churches, parishes, and Christian communities in this post-liberal moment. If what's at stake is humanity itself, then our response must be rooted in love and friendship, not power or control.Andrew Willard Jones is a political theologian whose work is primarily concerned with historical political theology and with the reconciliation of the post-modern with the pre-modern. He is currently Professor of History and Political Theory and Academic Dean at The College of St. Joseph the Worker in Ohio, a new college teaching students the Catholic intellectual tradition while training them in skilled and dignified labour. A founding editor of the journal New Polity, his writing is recognised as having broken new ground in Catholic political thought, and he lectures widely, in both academic and ecclesial contexts. The author of many books, Andrew holds a PhD in Medieval History from Saint Louis University with a focus on the Church of the High Middle Ages. He and his wife Sara are busy raising their eleven children in Steubenville, Ohio.LinksFor Andrew Willard Jones:https://www.collegeofstjoseph.com/academic-facultyhttps://newpolity.com/podcasts-hub/church-against-statehttps://newpolity.com/podcasts-hub/meet-andrew-willard-joneshttps://newpolity.com/blog?author=5bbdf5b7e4966bea2acb7deeBooks:The Church Against the State: On Subsidiarity and Sovereignty (New Polity, 2025)The Two Cities: A History of Christian Politics (Emmaus Road Publishing, 2021)Before Church and State: A Study of Social Order in the Sacramental Kingdom of St. Louis IX, (Emmaus Academic, 2017)Evidence of Things Unseen: An Introduction to Fundamental Theology (Emmaus Road, 2019)The Word Became Flesh: An Introduction to Christology (Emmaus Road, 2019)This Is My Body: An Introduction to Ecclesiology (Emmaus Road, 2019)Catholic Topical Index (Verbum, 2013)For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Culture is changing. Ideas and beliefs come and go. The Bible is our source of discovering truth and God's direction. In this message, Pastor Sam shared how Jesus taught us to seek truth from the Bible.

In Our Changing World, the RNZ podcast, Dr Claire Concannon follows scientists into the bush, over rivers, back to their labs and many places in-between to cover the most fascinating research being done in Aotearoa New Zealand.

How do you live well, stay engaged, and protect your mental health when the future of the planet feels so uncertain? Listen to this episode of Stories from the Field where our host Will White is joined by Dr. Thomas Doherty—psychologist, ecopsychologist, and author of Surviving Climate Anxiety—for a grounded conversation about eco-anxiety as a normal, values-driven response to climate change rather than a disorder to eliminate. Thomas reframes climate anxiety as a signal of care and connection, and introduces practical ways to regulate the nervous system, make meaning, and stay psychologically resilient without denying reality. Designed for both individuals struggling with climate anxiety and mental health professionals who work with anxiety and grief, this episode explores how time outdoors can become genuinely healing, how to avoid becoming a "climate hostage," and how to move toward what Thomas calls ethical happiness—living with purpose, connection, and integrity in a rapidly changing world.

Have you ever finished a book you absolutely loved but found hard to explain? In this episode of Unabridged, we're discussing our January 2026 Book Club pick, National Book Award winner The True True Story of Raja the Gullible (and His Mother) by Rabih Alameddine (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), which is brilliant in ways that are sometimes hard to articulate. Before diving into the discussion, we start with a bookish check-in: Ashley shares about Vera Wong's Guide to Snooping (on a Dead Man) by Jesse Q. Sutanto (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm), and Jen talks about Life on a Little-Known Planet: Dispatches from a Changing World by Elizabeth Kolbert (Bookshop.org | Libro.fm).From there, we dig into Raja the Gullible, talking about Raja's unforgettable narrative voice, the novel's nonlinear structure, and the way humor and tragedy coexist on the page. We explore Raja's complicated, tender relationship with his mother, the impact of memory and trauma across decades, and how personal stories are shaped by larger national and historical forces. We also share book pairings, give this one a resounding five bookish hearts, and wrap up with a couple of Unabridged favorites.If you're participating in the 2026 Unabridged Reading Challenge, this book fulfills the category “book from an awards list.” If you read this one, we'd love to hear what you thought!Visit the Unabridged website for our full show notes and links to the books mentioned in the episode.

Family-owned enterprises are the cornerstone of Asia's economy, contributing roughly 70 percent of GDP and employing over 60 percent of the workforce in some markets. Much more than just commercial entities, these firms are deeply embedded into the social fabric and are typically driven by long-term vision and entrepreneurial stewardship.In this edition of “The INSEAD Perspective: Spotlight on Asia” podcast series, Sameer Hasija, Dean of Asia at INSEAD, asks Bala Vissa, Professor of Entrepreneurship and Family Enterprise, for his thoughts on the status of family businesses in the region, the challenges that are currently reshaping their future and how family offices may be one solution to navigating these complexities. From bridging the success gap to tackling the rise of AI and ongoing digital transformation this wide- ranging conversation also explores how INSEAD is playing an important role in tackling this period of disruption and helping family businesses see it as an opportunity. Through workshops and programmes, INSEAD is connecting family firms to private equity and allowing both sides to better understand how they can work together to foster resilient growth and long-term success in today's rapidly changing global environment.

Kristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of Mercy House Global, but her story is shaped less by achievement and more by surrender. Raised in a generous, Christian home, Kristen followed God's lead into ministry, writing, and motherhood. Her love for writing led her into the early Christian mom-blogging world where she found community and influence, but it was a 2010 blogging trip to Kenya with Compassion International that unsettled her faith and reordered her calling. That encounter became the catalyst for Mercy House Global and for a lifelong journey of learning what it means to say yes to God with open hands.   Through Mercy House, Kristen has spent the past fifteen years walking alongside vulnerable women and families through job creation, orphan prevention, and discipleship, both globally and locally. Along the way, she has learned that generosity and ministry busyness without intimacy with God can quietly hollow out the soul. Her story reflects the cost of faithful work, the danger of doing for God without being with Him, and the grace God offers through rest, repentance, and renewed friendship with Him.   This conversation invites all of us to reflect on how God calls us to slow down, reorient our hearts, and rediscover satisfaction in His presence while living generously.   Major Topics Include: Generosity in hospitality Obedience through small, faithful yeses Using influence for Kingdom purpose Serving without losing intimacy with God The danger of doing for God without being with God Identity rooted in sonship, not productivity Parenting through embodied generosity Slowing down to practice God's presence QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Just do the next right thing.” “We were always looking for ways to use what we had for the gospel of hospitality.” “The opportunity to use the writing skill and the blog platform for God's glory really became a sweet spot for me and it changed my life.” “I will spend the rest of my life answering the question, ‘what am I doing to help the vulnerable in our communities and in our world?'” “God used the poor to help me find Him in a new way.” “God doesn't need us to do any of this, He invites us to do it.” “Being with God is the best use of our time.” “It is not a waste of time to spend time with God.” “When we live as generous people, our kids will too.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mercy House Global Kristen Welch's Website Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World by Kristen Welch Raising World Changers in a Changing World by Kristen Welch Compassion International When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Women Doing Well (see our interview with president Julie Wilson) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 3:20 | Christ's Invitation to Intimacy   Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

From Apple News In Conversation: New Yorker staff writer Elizabeth Kolbert has been reporting on climate and the environment for more than 25 years. In her work, she captures both the awe-inspiring beauty of the natural world and the unsettling truth about what humans are doing to it. Her latest book, Life on a Little-Known Planet: Dispatches From a Changing World, is a collection of essays from her decades-long career. Kolbert spoke with Apple News In Conversation host Shumita Basu about the stories that have shaped her reporting — and what they’ve taught her about a rapidly changing planet.

As the number of living Holocaust survivors declines, a profound question emerges: who carries these stories next – and how do we ensure they are heard, understood, and acted upon? In this episode, timed to mark Holocaust Memorial Day on January 27th, James and David are joined by Hannah Wilson, Outreach Officer at the charity Generation to Generation, alongside two G2G speakers, Vivienne Cato and and Calum Isaacs, who share their own family histories as descendants of Holocaust survivors. (You can read about their stories here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/the-story-of-mirjam-finkelstein and here https://www.generation2generation.org.uk/holocaust-survivor-eva-cato). Together, they explore how Holocaust education remains as important, powerful and relevant for young people today – not as mere knowledge of the history, but as lived experience passed from one generation to the next. Vivienne shares the story of her mother Eva, a Slovak Jewish survivor who spent years in hiding under a false identity, and reflects on her experience of growing up in the shadow of survival, luck, and loss. Calum tells the story of his grandmother Mirjam, who survived Nazi persecution through a series of extraordinary events – including a last-minute prisoner exchange – and considers how those near-misses shape identity, values, and responsibility across generations. The conversation also examines: Why Holocaust education matters more than ever How personal testimony cuts through misinformation, distortion, and online extremism The role of ordinary people, bystanders, and complicity – not just dictators – in enabling atrocities Why students often respond with quiet focus, empathy, and deep moral questioning How Holocaust education connects to wider conversations about racism, antisemitism, democracy, and civic responsibility today Hannah reflects on what good Holocaust education looks like in practice, the challenges teachers face, and why grounding learning in real human stories helps young people develop critical thinking, empathy, and historical understanding – without reducing education to moral instruction or political indoctrination. This episode is about remembrance with purpose: how bearing witness is not only about preserving the past, but about shaping the kind of future we want to live in – and the small actions that can make a decisive difference.

Join the Leaving Egypt community on Substack: leavingegyptpodcast.substack.comIn this episode, Al Roxburgh and Jenny Sinclair bring together two former guests, Harvey Kwiyani (episode 20) and Jide Ehizele (episode 49), for a fascinating conversation about identity, migration, and spirituality. Jide, a second-generation British Nigerian from South London, brings grounded experience and deep reflection as a writer, thinker, and youth leader, offering unique insight into the UK's cultural and spiritual landscape. Harvey, a Malawian missionary now based in Liverpool, works across the UK, Europe, and North America, and writes on African theology and God's mission in the West. They sense that the Enlightenment's legacy has weakened the West's ability to comprehend the nature of the Spirit—while for much of African Christianity this is still instinctive. As we undergo this change of era, they see the UK wrestling with identity and a growing spiritual yearning presenting both a challenge and an opportunity for church leaders. Together with Al and Jenny, they discuss how the migration of African Christians to the UK may be the Spirit's way of catalysing a sacramental spirituality that British culture has lost. Examining how guest and host can practice hospitality to each other, they explore how cultural barriers can be bridged to foster both a sense of belonging and an openness to encounter the Spirit in everyday life.Harvey Kwiyani works for the Church Mission Society (CMS) in Oxford, UK, where he leads a study centre for global witness and human migration and a Masters programme in African Christianity. Harvey is also the CEO of Global Connections, a UK-based mission network, and a director of Missio Africanus, a think tank exploring the rise and role of the African missionary movement in world missions. Harvey has published several books and holds a Ph.D. in Missions and Leadership.Jide Ehizele is a Christian thinker and writer focusing on faith, identity and cultural renewal. In his Substack, Southeast London Psalms, Jide wrestles with faith, politics and community from the perspective of a Black British Christian living in modern Britain. He also writes for The New Statesman and Unherd. Jide is an active member of St Peter's Church, Brockley, leading theology workshops and volunteering with children's ministry. The son of Nigerian parents, Jide was born and bred in Lewisham, Southeast London, and his day job is as a specialist consultant in the economics and planning of railway operations.LinksFor Jide Ehizele:https://x.com/OBEhizelehttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jide-ehizele-ab28785b/https://www.newstatesman.com/politics/2025/07/the-new-racism-of-the-british-righthttps://substack.com/home/post/p-168224782For Harvey Kwiyani:Substack Global Connections: www.globalconnections.org.ukLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/harvey-kwiyani-ph-d-039ab745/?originalSubdomain=ukTwitter: https://x.com/missioafricanus?lang=enBooks:Decolonising Mission (2024)Wash and Pray: African Theological Discourse on COVID-19 (2023)Multicultural Kingdom: Ethnic Diversity, Mission and the Church (2020)Our Children Need Roots and Wings: Equipping and Empowering Young Diaspora Africans for Life and Mission (2019)Mission-Shaped Church in a Multicultural World (2017)Sent Forth: African Missionary Work in the West (2014)For Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/abouthttps://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooksForming Communities of Hope in the Great Unraveling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Practices for the Refounding of God's People: The Missional Challenge of the West (with Martin Robinson)Joining God in the Great UnravelingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:https://t4cg.substack.com/s/editorialshttps://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/https://x.com/T4CGhttps://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKhttps://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Where did the concept of management as a profession come from, and how did it develop? Why do bureaucratic practices persist? How can companies break free from those constraints to unlock greater potential and adapt more effectively to the relentless change and competition in today's business world?Gary Hamel is the founder of the Management Lab, a professor at the London Business School, a visiting professor at the University of Oxford, and the author of several books. His recent titles include Humanocracy, Creating Organizations as Amazing as the People Inside Them, What Matters Now: How to Win in a World of Relentless Change, Ferocious Competition, and Unstoppable Innovation, and Competing for the Future.Greg and Gary discuss the evolution of Gary's thinking on management over the years and the detrimental effects of entrenched bureaucratic systems in organizations. He argues that bureaucracy stifles innovation, efficiency, and human engagement, leading him to suggest that organizations need to adopt more human-centric, dynamic, and decentralized models. He also points out the eventual trajectory of all companies that don't follow this path.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Why organizations stop being technical and start being bureaucratic08:29: I don't think administrative skills are any more a competitive advantage. You need them, but they are not much of a differentiator. So far as I can see, they are not really a source of competitive advantage. And yet, given that history of them being so rare, we basically turned our organizations into administrative aristocracies . And so what that meant practically was, once you reached a certain level in an organization, a fairly low level, the only way to advance your career was to become a manager. And that is still true in most organizations. People tend to compete for those jobs because, and I have young friends, and kids and so on who, very capable people worked in organizations, and however capable you are technically, you reach a point where they are coaxing you into an administrative or managerial role as the only way to grow. And the desire to keep great employees and to pay them well means that those positions proliferate. We create more managerial roles because that is the way of rewarding people and escalating their salaries.The radical shift from static hierarchy to dynamic power39:04: I am all for having a hierarchy, but I think it needs to be highly dynamic depending on the issue, and the hierarchy needs to be able to shift also. When people in power are no longer adding value or whatever they need to, you need to be able to fire those people from below.Why traditional leadership programs create administrators, not leaders47:18: In survey after survey, by Fortune, by McKinsey or others, the vast majority of executives do not think leadership development is producing positive returns or noticeably positive returns. And again, I think the reason for that is what we call leadership development is, first of all, almost done completely in the bureaucratic frame. We are not trying to find people with genuine leadership, natural leadership capacity. We are not trying to find people who understand how to mobilize and catalyze others to do things that people thought were impossible. Our leadership training is basically training people to take on bigger administrative jobs and stratified just like the pyramid: managing yourself, managing a team, managing a unit, managing a function, managing the organization. So number one, we have that problem. It is simply replicating, and it is creating better administrators. I do not think the data says that it is creating leaders.Show Links:Recommended Resources:Thomas PaineMax WeberMcKinsey & CompanyJames G. MarchHerbert A.

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

A new report has revealed the challenges relating to technology that Clare parents are grappling with. Celebrating its 20th anniversary, Schooldays.ie, which is a website that provides resources to parents and teachers, has published a report highlighting the views and experience of parents in Ireland. The 'Parents Of Ireland Survey 2026' features responses for 1,878 parents nationwide on a range of issues. These include special educational needs, mental health services, reform of the Junior and Leaving Cert, bullying, mobile phones, the Irish language, parenting styles and family finances. Owner of SchoolDays.ie, Richard Murphy, says he hopes the report lays bare the challenges faced by parents in a rapidly changing world. A key finding of the survey is that almost 30% of parents have had to seek an assessment of need for their child and of these, one in four have found the experience to be 'very poor'. More than a quarter have said their child has had to look for mental health services and 30% of these deemed the process 'terrible', with over 60% forced to wait six months or more. In addition, just under 30% of respondents said the exam points system is 'not very fair' to those with additional needs. Deputy Assistant General Secretary of the Association of Secondary Teachers Ireland, and teacher at St Flannan's College in Ennis, John Conneely, claims schools aren't sufficiently equipped to support students who require extra assistance.

In this episode of Tech Talks, Julian Dibbell is joined by partner Brian Nolan and associate Megan Fitzgerald to unpack how companies can protect AI assets and outputs using IP strategies. The conversation maps the key protectable components of AI—algorithms and code, trained models and parameters, proprietary datasets, and outputs—and evaluates the strengths and limits of trade secrets, copyrights, patents, and contracts. They highlight why trade secrets are particularly powerful for AI while probing emerging "improper means" issues like scraping, prompt injection, and ToS violations. They also survey evolving copyright law on human authorship and fair use in training, and discuss patent inventorship guidance and eligibility trends, before closing with practical contracting approaches to allocate data rights, output ownership, and IP strategy.

Few areas of modern American popular culture have undergone greater or more rapid changes in recent years that college sports. Thanks to a series of successful legal challenges, the nation's longstanding practice of treating college athletes as amateurs has been completely upended and, especially at big schools engaged high-profile sports like football and basketball, teams have become professionalized, with many athletes switching schools yearly, and raking in multi-million dollar deals under so-called “name image and likeness.” In a time of such rapid change and upheaval, it comes as little surprise that many people who were used to how things once worked – be they university leaders or average citizens and sports fans — are experiencing a sense of disorientation and discomfort. And this fact was made clear in some opinion surveys conducted last October by the Elon University Poll and the Knight Commission on Intercollegiate Athletics, and at that time, NC Newsline caught up with the Elon poll director, Prof. Jason Husser, to learn more. Now that we are in the midst of the college football bowl season, we thought it would be an ideal time to revisit that interview and the poll findings.

The Future of Leadership: How to Thrive in a Changing World with Steve Cadigan Do you feel like you're leading through more uncertainty than ever before? Wondering how to navigate AI disruption, team burnout, and constant transformation without completely losing yourself in the process? If you're a leader right now, you're facing something unprecedented. You're being asked to do more with less, lead through chaos you've never experienced, and somehow keep your team engaged—all while trying not to burn out yourself.  And the truth is, most leaders haven't been given the tools or support they actually need for this moment. In this episode, you'll hear from one of the world's foremost experts on what it actually takes to lead well right now. Blake sits down with Steve Cadigan, LinkedIn's first Chief HR Officer who helped scale the company from 400 to 4,000 employees and shaped a culture so impactful it became a Stanford course. Named a top 100 global thought leader in people and talent since 2021, Steve brings over 30 years of leading through transformation across six different industries. Together, they explore why this moment—despite the chaos—is actually one of the greatest opportunities for leaders. You'll discover why hard work doesn't build careers, how to create stability when everything feels uncertain, and the human skills that will set you apart in the decade ahead. Today's conversation offers something leaders desperately need: hope, clarity, and a roadmap for what's possible when you lead differently.

In spring and summer, Yellow Warblers sing from treetops to stream sides. While their beauty and songs commonly light up our most vibrant months, they face imminent challenges. Yellow Warbler populations have adapted genetically to their local climates. That makes them vulnerable to environmental shifts, which could cause the species to lose much of its breeding range in the U.S. by 2080.A special thank you to artist Heidi Stavrevski for designing our 20th Anniversary Logo, which beautifully captures two decades of BirdNote Storytelling.¡Escuche este episodio en español!More info and transcript at BirdNote.org.Want more BirdNote?
