"Architects design things we can't actually build."We sat down with Saxon Hall, Principal Architect at Align Architecture, to tackle the age-old tension between architects and builders. Saxon's unique perspective as a carpenter's son gives him insight into both sides of this divide.In this episode, we explore why communication breaks down between architects and builders, and more importantly, how to fix it. Saxon shares his 'Align Build Collaboration' method that brings builders into projects from day one, the debate around tender vs negotiated contracts, and why energy-efficient design doesn't have to sacrifice aesthetics.Saxon's diverse experience across residential, heritage, and sustainable projects proves that when architects understand building practicalities and builders appreciate design intent, everyone wins.Key topics: • Why early builder involvement saves headaches • Tender processes vs negotiated contracts • The poetic nature of architecture meets practical building • Climate-adapted, sustainable design solutions • Balancing collaboration with contractual obligations

"The message that passive house is better, just isn't reaching people." We explore what actually happens when passive house ambitions meet the realities of Australian building sites - from the builder's perspective, the architect's challenges, and the client's concerns.Today we're discussing what it means to design and build a passive house with Sven Maxa from Maxa Designs: the learning curves, cost considerations, and collaboration required to bridge the gap between high-performance building theory and practical execution. We break down what changes for builders tackling their first passive house spec, how architects balance performance with design, and what clients need to know before committing to passive house principles.This isn't about chasing certification badges - it's about understanding whether passive house standards can improve building performance without making life harder for everyone involved.Whether you're a builder considering your first passive house project, an architect integrating performance requirements, or a homeowner exploring energy-efficient building options, this conversation reveals the real-world challenges and opportunities of passive house construction in Australia.
In a world where Israel is headline news every day, most people are trying to interpret events through a fog of bias, misinformation, and instant reaction culture. We sat down with longtime Jerusalem-based journalist Nicole Jansezian to ask a simple question that's not simple at all: How do we know what's actually true? What unfolded was an inside look at the fractured media landscape inside Israel and the ideological forces shaping the region. Nicole helps us slow down and understand why the Middle East defies the easy categories most Westerners reach for. Israel's political divisions don't map onto America's left-right spectrum. Palestinian society is not monolithic. And both sides live with historic, cultural, and religious dynamics that rarely show up in the headlines. When we oversimplify, we miss the deeper story - and the deeper human reality. This conversation is for anyone who wants discernment in an age of propaganda. We explore why speed has replaced accuracy, why influencers often outrun truth, and why we need a long view shaped by Scripture, not by algorithms. For Christians seeking to understand Israel, this isn't just geopolitics - it's about returning to the story God has been telling since Genesis and learning to see the world the way He sees it. Key Takeaways Israel's internal political spectrum is far more complex than the American left–right divide. Headlines often frame events without context, leading to widespread misunderstanding. Influencer-driven “news” prioritizes speed and virality over verification. Propaganda is not always overt; sometimes it's subtle, soft influence that shapes perception. Ideology - religious, historic, territorial - drives Middle Eastern decisions more than economics. The media environment inside Israel is deeply divided, with competing narratives shaping public opinion. Christians must pursue discernment by slowing down, asking better questions, and grounding their understanding in Scripture.

Most of us learned the Lord's Prayer before we understood what it was doing. It became a ritual, something recited rather than lived. But when Jesus' words are returned to their original world - the Jewish people under Roman rule, the long ache for redemption, the hope of a coming kingdom - the prayer opens up in ways most modern readers have never seen. It becomes less a mantra and more a mission. In this conversation with Brad Gray and Brad Nelson of Walking the Text, we explore why context is not a luxury but a lifeline. Jesus wasn't offering a poetic devotional. He was giving His disciples a framework for partnering with God, joining the story that began in the Exodus, and learning to embody the kingdom He announced. Every line reaches back to Israel's history and forward to God's future, shaping a people who would carry His reign into the world. From the clash of kingdoms under Rome, to the Jewish practice of communal prayer, to the way the early disciples finally recognized the kingdom at Shavuot, this episode invites us to see the prayer not as ancient words but as a daily blueprint. This is what it means to bring heaven here - to live as a people formed by the Father, trusting His provision, forgiving like He forgives, and resisting the powers that distort His world. Key Takeaways Context is not extra; it's everything. Jesus assumed His listeners knew the Jewish, historical, and literary world behind His words. The Lord's Prayer sits at the “center of the center” of the Sermon on the Mount - Matthew's way of spotlighting Jesus' mission. Every phrase echoes the Exodus story and frames Jesus as the new Moses leading a new Exodus. “Daily bread” held layers: Israel's wilderness manna, Rome's grain system, and the hope of Messiah's provision. Ancient Jewish prayer was communal, formational, and participatory - not merely expressive. Jesus' kingdom message is not about escaping earth but joining God's work of renewing it. Salvation isn't the finish line; it's the starting point for disciples who bring God's reign into the world.

Discover how to shift your energy to attract more financial abundance in your private practice. In this episode, Dr Brooklyn Storm shares powerful insights on cultivating a receiving mindset that magnetises clients and money to your therapy business. Learn why blessing your money matters, how to navigate the seasons of wealth in private practice, and the critical difference between "I only had one client" versus celebrating every booking. Brooklyn reveals how your energy around money directly impacts your client attraction and practice growth. This episode covers the feminine energy of receiving, taking aligned action during quiet periods, and why embodiment—not just mindset—creates real results. You'll learn to identify what's blocking your abundance, avoid the "shelf help" trap, and understand why implementation matters more than courses. Perfect for women counsellors, psychologists, social workers, and play therapists who want to build profitable private practices without hustling or undercharging. Whether you're experiencing abundance or scarcity, this episode offers practical guidance on working with both seasons effectively. Transform your relationship with money and discover how taking the right actions can shift your practice from struggle to success.

A: Shift your energy from scarcity ("I only had one client") to gratitude ("I had a wonderful client yesterday and they rebooked"). Your energy around money and clients directly affects what you attract. Take aligned action, track what works, and embody the version of yourself who already has the practice you want. Q: What should I do during quiet periods in my therapy practice? A: Use quiet periods for strategic masculine energy—analyse what's working, check your data, refine your marketing, and ask yourself what the version of you with a full practice would do differently. Take one small action to bring clarity rather than staying stuck in overwhelm. Q: Why am I not getting results despite taking courses and reading books? A: This is called "shelf help"—buying resources without implementation. Results come from taking aligned action and actually implementing what you learn. Focus on mastering one thing before adding more to your plate. Action brings clarity and compounds over time. Q: How do I stop undercharging as a therapist? A: Work on embodiment—become the version of yourself who charges appropriately by taking actions that person would take. Allow yourself to receive payment, enforce cancellation policies, and increase fees when appropriate. Shift from victim mentality to taking accountability for your practice results. Q: What's the difference between embodiment and positive thinking? A: Embodiment requires both mindset shifts AND aligned action. You don't have to believe you're abundant, but you do need to take actions the abundant version of you would take. Nothing changes without embodiment plus action—both are essential. private practice financial abundance, therapist money mindset, counsellor business success, psychologist private practice income, receiving money energy, therapy practice growth, mental health private practice, women therapists business, private practice marketing, undercharging therapists, abundance mindset counsellors, therapy business coaching, practice momentum, client attraction strategies, embodiment for therapists, action over overwhelm, private practice profitability, Australian therapy business, social worker private practice, play therapist business growth

Why would God restore Israel to the Land if they don't believe in Jesus? That's the question many Christians wrestle with - and the one Ezekiel 36 answers head-on. In this wide-ranging conversation with filmmaker and Bible teacher Stephen Briggs of Hatikva Films, we explore the prophetic timeline of Israel's restoration, the continuity of God's covenant with Abraham, and the flaws in replacement theology that blur the story of Scripture. Together we trace how the Hebrew nuances of Genesis 12, the promises of Ezekiel 36, and the disciples' question in Acts 1 all reveal the same truth: God's faithfulness comes before Israel's faith. Stephen shares insights from life in Jerusalem, stories from the “Blessing, Curse, or Coincidence” film series, and a clear-eyed view of what God is doing in our generation. Whether we're talking about prophecy, politics, or discipleship, the message is the same - the restoration of Israel is the greatest evidence that God keeps His promises. Key Takeaways God's covenant with Israel is unconditional and still active. Ezekiel 36 sets the divine order: regather first, renew next. Israel's unbelief magnifies God's grace, not His absence. Replacement theology collapses when read against Scripture's storyline. Modern Israel's return is the stage for future spiritual renewal. Believers are invited to pray, comfort, give, and go. God's faithfulness to Israel confirms His faithfulness to us.

Dr. Camden Bucey speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Bucey weaves together the themes of the previous lectures into one coherent narrative centered on Christ. The address establishes that the entire grand narrative of Scripture, from the promise of the serpent-crushing seed in Eden to the apocalyptic visions of Daniel, is converging on the single, brilliant point of Christ's person and work. Dr. Bucey emphasizes that Christ's incarnation, life, death, resurrection, and ascension constitute the central objective act of redemption and bring the era of special revelation to its completion. The focus is on Jesus Christ as the Lamb of God, who is the ultimate fulfillment of all covenant promises and redemptive types, particularly the Passover, and the one who brings history to its appointed, glorious consummation, which is the eternal Sabbath rest of God's kingdom.

Dr. Daniel Ragusa speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Ragusa, focuses on the dark period of Israel's exile and how it illuminates the deep human longing to return to God's presence, which had been lost due to their rebellion. Dr. Ragusa first establishes the devastating nature of exile by contrasting it with the desired state of dwelling in God's house, a theme illustrated by the pilgrimage described in Psalm 23. He references the Heidelberg Catechism to frame the Christian experience as moving from the "valley of exile" (sin and misery) up to the "mountain of God" (righteousness and everlasting life) through the work of the "mountain ascending mediator," Jesus Christ. Crucially, even in the midst of the exile's darkness, God's hope continues to shine through the prophets, promising restoration, which is ultimately fulfilled in the gospel and glory of Jesus Christ.

Dr. R. Carlton Wynne speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. Dr. Wynne explores how the vast portion of the Old Testament covering the monarchy and prophetic periods (approximately 417 chapters) points to Jesus Christ. Dr. Wynne first establishes the central, Christ-centered scope of all Scripture, affirming that everything in the Old Testament looks forward to and finds its fulfillment in Christ's person and work, including his death and resurrection. The address then moves beyond viewing Christ merely as being prefigured in the Old Testament through "scale models" or "macro typology." Instead, it seeks a deeper sense in which the pre-incarnate Christ's power and heavenly kingdom principles were actively revealed through the history of Israel's kings and prophets, positioning these figures and institutions as intrusions of heavenly glory mediated by Christ himself.

Why did Paul end his masterpiece in Romans with a promise that “all Israel will be saved”? What does that mean - and has it already happened, or is it still to come? In this wide-ranging conversation with Dr. Michael Brown, author of Our Hands Are Stained with Blood and host of The Line of Fire, we trace how Romans 9–11 reveals the continuity of God's plan for Israel and the nations. Dr. Brown unpacks Paul's argument verse by verse, explains why replacement theology opened the door to antisemitism in church history, and clarifies how “all Israel” refers to a future national turning to Messiah - not merely a cumulative remnant. We also talk about the surge of antisemitism after October 7, the confusion in the modern church, and why believers must recover a biblical vision of Israel's role in redemptive history. This isn't a side issue. It's the center of the gospel's story of mercy. Key Takeaways Romans 11 completes the gospel logic: if Israel's rejection brought salvation to the world, her acceptance will bring life from the dead. “All Israel” means a future national turning, not just a historical remnant. The gifts and calling of God are irrevocable - for Israel and for the Church. Replacement theology helped pave the way for centuries of antisemitism. Understanding Israel clarifies the gospel's continuity from Abraham to today. The Church's calling is to provoke Israel to envy, not erase her identity. God's covenant faithfulness guarantees Israel's future redemption.

Dr. James Cassidy speaks at the Reformed Forum Annual Theology Conference, held at Lakeland Church in Gurnee, Illinois on September 27, 2025. The lecture, titled "The Seed of Abraham, Christ in the patriarchs and the promise" by Dr. James Cassidy, addresses the common theological perception that New Testament authors, particularly the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3, give a "surprise ending" to the Old Testament, seemingly reading it against its original intent. Dr. Cassidy argues against this view by showing that the Abrahamic Covenant is fundamentally a covenant of grace, centered on Christ as the singular "offspring" of promise. He explains that the promise is both individual (Christ himself) and collective (all those redeemed through him from every nation), a subtlety Paul rightly handles without misinterpreting Genesis. Crucially, the address highlights that the subsequent giving of the Mosaic Law 430 years later did not and could not annul the original promise of justification by faith, thereby maintaining the primacy and immutability of God's covenant of grace.
