    ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bitten: “Never date a guy who's like your father.” ACOFAE realized that it's National Werewolf Day this week and figured, why not?! Why not throw it back to one of Laura Marie's very first werewolf books, very first thrifted book, and first book where everyone is 30+. That's right, everyone here in Kelly Armstrong's Bitten is over 30 and loves being a werewolf. Elena had to come around to it, but she also loves being a werewolf. It's the pack, and her ex fiancé, that are the issue. Instincts are hard to fight though and Elena is finding life away from the pack to be stifling, so when a series of crimes calls her back to her old life how can she resist? Join ACOFAE as they delight in supernatural creatures actually liking themselves while trying to solve a mystery, and cackle at Elena forgetting to call her current boyfriend. Priorities. The call of the wild and all that. Beg.

    Valentine's Day is coming, and if you are feeling stuck in the same old chocolate and roses rut, we have the perfect solution to win over your sweetie! Sherry as the ultimate dessert wine flex, especially if your goal is not striking out this V-Day. Inspired by a listener tip and Carmela's unwavering love of ice cream, this episode dives headfirst into Sherry and vanilla ice cream as a surprisingly elite pairing. We know what you're thinking . . . isn't Sherry that syrupy stuff that your weird uncle drinks? Oh no, friends. It is a winner. In this episode, we explore this Spanish fortified wine from Jerez and tell you why the hype is real. We break down what Sherry actually is, how fortified wines are made, and why the Solera and Criadera System matters in keeping consistency from year to year. We also unpack the key differences between different types of Sherries like Medium, Cream, and Pedro Ximénez, and why different types of Sherries can give very different experiences. We also cover how the temperature can make or break the experience, because too cold or too warm can absolutely ruin the moment. Finally, we put theory into practice, tasting and rating two affordable Sherries with and without vanilla ice cream and giving you our honest take on which one actually delivers the Valentine's Day win.

    The cultivated meat industry has captured headlines and struggled with economics. Meanwhile, plant cell biomanufacturing is quietly solving the cost equation and approaching commercial launch. The question isn't whether cellular agriculture can work at scale. It's which applications will get there first, and what bioprocessing innovations will make it possible.In Part 2, we dive into the commercialization challenges that separate laboratory curiosity from market-ready products. Steven Lang tackles the hard questions: How do you replicate chocolate's complex flavor profile without traditional fermentation? What analytical infrastructure ensures product consistency and safety? And how do you build the right team and data foundation to navigate the journey from premium launch to commodity-scale production?Steven's background spanning Johnson & Johnson, Genentech, and Upside Foods gives him a unique perspective on what works and what doesn't when translating biopharma rigor to food applications. At California Cultured, he's applying those lessons to launch high-flavanol cocoa powder in 2026, with a clear roadmap to commodity cocoa and coffee thereafter.In this episode:The challenge of replicating chocolate's taste and fermentation in the lab (02:39)How plant cell culture differs from conventional farming and its advantages for safety and scalability (03:03)Analytical methods and equipment needed for consistent, safe, and high-quality cultured cocoa products (05:05)The potential for cell-based food to minimize heavy metals and other contaminants in chocolate (06:09)Environmental implications: tackling climate change, deforestation, and the realistic timeline for widespread adoption of lab-grown foods (06:50)Emerging opportunities beyond cocoa and coffee—saffron, ginseng, echinacea, and even lab-grown wood (08:40)Key advice for scientists and entrepreneurs interested in entering the cellular agriculture field (10:12)Building successful teams and robust data foundations in biotech startups (11:43)Key takeaway:Cellular agriculture's future isn't a single technology replacing conventional food production. It's multiple parallel approaches creating resilience in global food systems. The opportunity is clear: the technical principles you've mastered in biopharma translate directly to food applications, but the faster commercialization timelines and novel business models require rethinking what "stage-appropriate development" means.The question for bioprocess leaders is whether you'll help build the solutions to bridge the food production gap, or watch from the sidelines as food security becomes the defining challenge of our generation.Here is the previous conversation with Steven Lang:Episodes 55-56: Cultivated Meat: A Promising Future or an Inevitable Bubble? with Steven LangConnect with Steven Lang:LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/steven-lang-b003406California Cultured Inc.: www.cacultured.comNext step:Need fast CMC guidance? → Get rapid CMC decision support hereSupport the show

    What if the chocolate industry's reliance on equatorial farms—and the deforestation that comes with it—could be eliminated entirely? Plant cell bioreactors are doing that, producing real cacao without a single tree. But this isn't just about chocolate. It's about fundamentally rethinking how we manufacture food at scale, and the bioprocessing innovations emerging from this shift have implications far beyond the food industry.Steven Lang, Head of R&D at California Cultured, spent two decades mastering mammalian cell culture at biopharma giants like Johnson & Johnson and Genentech. Then he made a radical pivot: applying those same bioprocessing principles to cultivate plant cells for food production. His mission? Prove that cellular agriculture extends far beyond the cultivated meat narrative, and that plant cell manufacturing offers a faster, more economical path to market.At California Cultured, Steven's team is scaling cacao and coffee production using innovative low-cost plastic bioreactors instead of expensive stainless steel vessels. They've engineered plant cell media formulations that operate at a fraction of typical bioprocessing costs. And they're preparing to launch their first commercial product—high-flavanol cocoa powder—in 2026.What you'll discover in this episode:Why cellular agriculture ≠ cultivated meat (07:16) – Steven's frustration with the narrow definition that's holding the industry back, and why plant cell culture deserves equal attentionPlant vs. animal cell culture fundamentals (09:26) – Technical comparison: totipotent plant cells, callus formation, adaptation to suspension culture, and how cacao cell lines are developed from explantsAchieving 30-40% pack cell volume in 7-day batches (11:14) – Process parameters: ambient temperature growth, low pH environments, minimal downstream processing, and maintaining product consistency without genetic modificationThe economics that change everything (14:38) – How plant cell media costs and simple raw material requirements create commodity-scale economicsThe Tesla model for biotech (15:58) – Strategic rationale for launching with premium high-flavanol cocoa powder first, then using that revenue runway to optimize for commodity pricingLow-cost bioreactor innovation (18:23) – Why plastic vessels beat stainless steel, contamination management in low-pH cultures, and scale-out strategy over traditional scale-upDecentralized biomanufacturing (23:10) – Converting underutilized office space into production facilities, onshoring food ingredient production, and what this means for emerging markets and supply chain resilienceThe bigger picture beyond cacao (24:23) – Four approved drugs already produced via plant cell culture, the expanding landscape of ingredients (saffron, ginseng, echinacea), and why stage-appropriate models matter for cellular agriculture's futureThe strategic insight:While the cultivated meat industry struggles with cost structures and consumer acceptance, plant cell manufacturing is quietly proving the business model. The lesson for bioprocessing professionals? Sometimes the fastest path to commercialization isn't the most obvious one, and the innovations happening in food manufacturing today could reshape how we think about bioproduction economics across industries.Here is the previous conversation with Steven Lang:Episodes 55-56: Cultivated Meat: A Promising Future or an Inevitable Bubble? with Steven LangConnect One bad CDMO decision can cost you two years and your Series A.

    El 21 de enero de 1908 nació en La Habana Julio Valdés Brito Ibáñez quien muy pronto, por motivos artísticos, fue reconocido en el ambiente musical de su tiempo como Julio Brito. Aunque destacó más en su faceta de compositor comenzamos este breve segmento recordando su etapa inicial como cantante. Para ello contamos con el catálogo de la etiqueta norteamericana Víctor de mediados de los años 30. Dos piezas completaban entonces el repertorio del juvenil Julio Brito: la versión que acabamos de escuchar de "La cachimba de San Juan", una guaracha de Ignacio Piñeiro, y "Tus lágrimas", un son que firma su hermano Alfredo Brito quien al frente de la Orquesta "Siboney" propiciaba el acompañamiento. En la delantera de la Orquesta Siboney incursionaba en el canto, a dúo con Julio, su hermana Nena Brito. Julio Brito, importante músico y compositor dejó clásicos como la hermosa guajira "El amor de mi bohio" y el bolero "Mira que eres linda". Los cantan Guillermo Portabales y Gerardo Pedroso con la Orquesta Gris. Otras dos piezas de su autoría nos acompañan en las voces de Panchito Riset y Abelardo Barroso: "Flor de ausencia" y "El Guajeíto". Las antenas de las veteranas emisoras habaneras nos devuelven a continuación algunos de sus tesoros más preciados. Voces que no deberíamos olvidar pues en su momento contribuyeron a difundir y a cimentar cultura dentro y fuera de Cuba. El depurado estilo de la olvidada cantante Rosita Sánchez no tiene nada que envidiarle a las voces más reconocidas del panteón musical cubano. Integró alguna vez el trío García. Hoy vuelve a acompañarla con su guitarra el trovador Nené Ayué. Maria Teresa Vera y Lorenzo Hierrezuelo, durante toda la década del 40, contaron con el apoyo del mago de la radio independiente cubana: Laureano Suárez. Suaritos, a partir de 1937 comenzó a escribir su propia historia en el dial radiofónico cubano produciendo innumerables grabaciones, únicas en formato y estilo. La soprano de coloratura Xiomara Alfaro y el bien llamado Príncipe del Feeling: Luis García nos recuerdan los tiempos de grandeza e independencia de la radio cubana. Sintonizaremos la señal de "La onda de la Alegría", Radio Progreso. Los acompaña la jazz band Hermanos Castro. Por esos caprichos de la memoria el nombre del compositor Benigno Echemendía Oliva no es reconocido como debiera, teniendo en cuenta la incidencia que ha tenido su carpeta autoral en el poderoso cauce de la música popular cubana. Valiéndose de géneros tan raigales como el son montuno, la guaracha, la rumba, el guaguancó y el bolero, comenzó a ganar prestigio en el ambiente musical a mediados de los años 50 cuando sus temas los tuvieron en cuenta agrupaciones soneras de primera linea incluyéndolos en bailables y producciones discograficas. Entre ellos los conjuntos "Modelo", "Estrellas de Chocolate", "Rumbavana" y "Chappotin". Cronista de su tiempo, siempre atento a lo cotidiano, fiel a la veterana escuela de los compositores cubanos. Con otra de sus formidables creaciones despedimos este breve segmento recordando su legado. "La Iyawó" es un guaguancó que en 2012 recrearon de manera formidable "el trombón de Santa Amalia": Juan Carlos Marín y el trompetista Julito Padrón. Y en espera del más reciente trabajo discográfico del "trombón de Santa Amalia": Juan Carlos Marín, volvemos a la producción de la etiqueta Bis Music del año 2012 donde reunió a otros notables instrumentistas como Julito Padrón en trompeta, David Suárez en saxo tenor, David Alfaro en piano y Oliver Valdés en drums. Bobby Carcassés y Moraima Marín despiden el programa con los temas: "Emiliano Forever " y "Todo de tí".

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Well, good morning.Wherever you are today, welcome.My name is Justin.I'm one of the elders here at Harvest.And as we get started, I would just like to ask that you would pray for me to faithfully and clearly communicate God's word,and I will pray for you to have hearts to receive it.Amen.Well, today we're going to be talking about dealing with disputes, disagreements, beef, as the kids say.Did the kids still say beef, Pastor Jeff?Okay, confirmed.I too was young once, but as a college student, one thing my roommates and I never had beef over was where to order pizza.Listen, four guys in an apartment, that's a big decision.But we found our place, Piazza's Pizza, home to the largest pizza that I've ever seen, the big Piazza.It was the best price to food ratio in the city.The box was so big, it didn't even fit through the door.You had to tilt it just to get it inside.It would feed all of us for a whole weekend.And actually one of those weekends, a few of my friends from home came up to visit.And so, of course, we wanted to treat them to a big Piazza.But there was a dispute.My roommates and I tried to explain to them how enormous this pizza was.But my friends kept insisting, "Look, we need to order two."And we're like, "Guys, you haven't seen this pizza."And they're like, "Guys, you don't know how hungry we are. We need at least two."Okay?So eventually we gave up and we ordered two big Piazza's.And, you know, after dinner, I couldn't believe it, but we actually finished half of one.And that's when the real dispute started.Because we tried to tell them we just needed one.But the problem is, according to them, we didn't eat our share.Because they insisted we needed two.So then wild claims started flying around both sides about how many slices each side ate.And this morning, I'd actually like to present you with some evidenceso you can draw your own conclusions.Exhibit A, this is the big Piazza.And even that, I tell you, the photo doesn't do it justice.But I added some analysis to this photo because one member of the oppositionhas repeatedly stated that he alone consumed 25 slices.Exhibit B, this is his claim.And I'm telling you, I was there that night.If he ate that much pizza in one sitting,we were going to spend the night in Rochester General Hospital.Okay?Church.It was crazy.Now, we are close to the 20th anniversary of that meal.And the battle is still raging on.As far as I'm aware, this is the longest-running dispute I've ever been a part of.Debating it step-by-step, recounting what happened.And of course, laughter.Because this dispute, though still being disputed,it didn't threaten our friendships.It's a silly dispute, but I share it with you because the way that we handle disputes,that often depends on our relationship to the other side, true or false.When we are in a dispute, our relationship to the personor our relationship to the situation, that determines our response.Best friends can accuse each other of pizza malpractice for decades and be totally fine.But for real disputes, think about it.Which ones are the hardest to resolve?The ones within a family,or with a close friend, or someone you looked up to.It's far more difficult to deal with offense from someone that you know deeplythan from someone that you don't know at all.An argument that escalates, a disagreement grows into something much more,most of us have been there.And that can even happen here, within the church family.How do we deal with those disputes?Well, if you have your Bibles, you can open them to 1 Corinthians chapter 6,where we're going to dig into that.We deal with disputes because we're going after a church unified and purified, amen.And last week, Pastor Jeff taught how to get purified when there's sin in the church,when someone claims Christ yet is living in unrepentant sin,and they refuse help, they want their sin to be accepted.What do you do with that person?The Bible says, "Let him who has done this be removed from among you."You might think, "Harsh, that doesn't sound like a thing a church should do."Well, if you missed it, read 1 Corinthians chapter 5 and listen to the sermon online.You'll find out that's what the church must do.Now, this week, we read Paul under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit,discussing disputes within the church.And just like arguments about pizza,we have to remember the relationships involved.So, on your outline today,in a church dispute, remember your relationship.Number one, to other believers, we reconcile.So, 1 Corinthians 6, are you there?Let's read the first verse.It says, "When one of you has a grievance against another,does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints?"So, Paul is calling out the Corinthians for dragging their disputes out into the court system.He says, "Church, why are you going before unrighteous corrupt courts for this?"But please understand in this passage,Paul is talking about civil cases, not criminal cases.This is not about someone breaking the law and being charged with a crime, okay?This is about a private dispute between two parties,and they just can't figure it out.So, they end up taking each other to court over something trivial.Now, we see trivial lawsuits today, don't we?Have you ever seen those courtroom shows where they give you the rundown upfront?He's here suing for a $67 cell phone bill.You hired a lawyer and got on a plane to Los Angeles over $67.You're going to take someone to court over that.Same idea.You'll see the trivial part as we pick up in verse 2.It says, "Or do you not know that the saints will judge the world?And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases?Do you not know that we are to judge angels?How much more than matters pertaining to this life?So, if you have such cases, why do you lay them before those who have no standing in the church?I say this to your shame.Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers?We'll pause there for a moment.Paul is saying we should be able to resolve these disputes internally.He's saying we are called to judge.If that sounds familiar, we saw it in 1 Corinthians 5,where verse 12 says, "For what have I to do with judging outsiders?Is it not those inside the church who you are to judge?"Not judging motives, because we can't see the heart,but we are required to judge actions.We judge the fruit.Now, what does Paul mean with this "saints" meaning believers?What does he mean with this "judging the world and angels" business?Well, he's referring to the concept of the children of God reigning with Jesus Christ in his victory.True.But we're not even going to get into all that, because Paul is using it for irony.Like, "Oh, you who will judge the world, you who will judge angels,why are you taking all your disputes to small claims court?"That's what they were doing.And actually, it was even worse than that.Because history tells us that in Paul's day, civil courts were completely corrupt.You couldn't even bring a case against someone who had a higher social standing than you.And when a case did make it to the courts, judges and juries would expect a kickbackfor a verdict in your favor,either a payment or something to help them with their standing.So the church in Corinth was not only suing each other,they were using the legal system to abuse or shake down fellow Christians of lower status.It's childish.And parents know you train young children to resolve their disputes themselves,but it takes a lot of training.Use your words.Talk it out.How would you feel if she said that to you?But until they mature, what's most often the outcome?Running to mom or dad to make a ruling.And sure, parents do need to step in sometimes,but more often than not, it's a dispute that could have been resolvedwith a conversation and some humility.But they're kids.They don't have the required patience or wisdom just yet.Paul is saying the church should be mature enough to use wisdom to resolve things internallyinstead of using lawsuits.But even if we avoid the courthouse, we can still struggle with disputes as a church.If a church member offends you intentionally or unintentionally,you don't sue them, but how do you react?Do you let it go?Or if it's just too much to let it go, do you talk to them about it?Or do you just avoid them?Or how many churches have gone through gigantic disputes over decisions like the carpet coloror chairs versus pews or the volume level during worship?Is stuff like that worth disunity with your brothers and sisters?Now, 1 Corinthians 6 doesn't outline practical steps that we should follow instead,but we know them from other places in Scripture.Matthew 18, for example, tells us to go first to the person directly,and if they don't listen, bring some others.And if they still don't listen, bring it before the church.That's the general path things should run,and some situations point us to other Scripture too.But the charge in these verses is to judge wisely.But these Matthew 18 conversations or conversations going to someone for counsel,they cannot be about gossip.That's just as destructive as a lawsuit.These conversations must be done with one goal in mind, reconciliation.As believers, we ask for forgiveness and forgive each other in order to be reconciled.That's who we are. That's what God's family does.By His grace, some of us grew up in God-fearing homes that demonstrated that's how a family works.But many of us either grew up in or we've seen family situations where that's not the case,where there is no repentance, no forgiveness, no reconciliation.Some might think, "Yeah, I've seen bitterness and I've seen grudges in a family,but reconciliation, forgiving one another, I've never seen a family like that."And that's why as a church, we must show the world that in Christ we are different.We have to show them what God's family is like, which is why, number two on your outline,in a church dispute, remember your relationship, number two, to the world we represent.So as believers, what does our relationship to the world have to do with our disputes?Well, rewind to the end of verse five.It says, "Can it be that there is no one among you wise enough to settle a dispute between the brothers,but brother goes to law against brother?" And that before unbelievers?Before unbelievers. That's similar to what we saw back in verse one, before the unrighteous.We talked about the Corinthians lacking godly wisdom, but there's another problem.Taking all these disputes out into the world, what does that do to our witness?If the city of Corinth always saw the church in scandal or suing each other,what did that communicate to them about the gospel message?We have to remember that part of our relationship to the world is that Jesus called us to represent him to the world.Represent Jesus to the world.Now, listen, I'm not saying we should be concerned about image in the sense that we are marketing church,and reality is another thing.No, our concern is authentically following Jesus.We want people to see what it looks like to be transformed by Christ and living in a Christ-centered community.It's not about projecting some image, it's about our identity.Our witness is being like Jesus and telling people about him.So, infighting, legal battles, manipulation, that's what everybody else does.God's people are called to be different.If we act like the world, we've already lost.Just like it says in verse 7, it says, "To have lawsuits at all with one another is already a defeat for you."Why not rather suffer wrong?Why not rather be defrauded?But you yourselves wrong and defraud, even your own brothers.Now, again, let me emphasize that we are not talking about criminal cases.But Paul is saying it would be better to just lose your money in the dispute than sue your church brother over these petty issues.Or again, maybe you're not actually going to court, but you still might need to suffer wrong.What do I mean?Have you ever been in a dispute where maybe you're 10% wrong and the other person is 90% wrong?Sometimes we still want to justify ourselves and bang the table about how less wrong we were.What about humbling yourself?What about taking the hit and saying, "You know, you're right. I was wrong. Will you please forgive me?"Our natural reaction is, "Why should I humble myself when they're wrong too?"Because of who we represent.Jesus is our example of humility, and we are that example to those around us.So to claim Christ and act like Paul describes here is a failure in our job as representatives.And you know, I talked a little bit about pizza earlier, but do you know what else I like?Frozen bananas.Well, I should be specific. Chocolate covered frozen bananas. Delicious.One time I went into an ice cream shop where I had gotten one before, but I didn't see any in the case in the front.So I thought, "Oh, they might have some in the back in the freezer."So I asked the woman working, "Do you have any frozen bananas?"And my friends who were there still quote her answer to me because she said, "Does it look like we have any frozen bananas?"Okay. I said, "Thank you." And I walked out without any dessert.Now, do you think the owner of the ice cream shop felt like she represented the store well that day?No. Just like employees represent their workplace as a body of believers, we represent Christ.If you claim Christ, you are his representative, period.In a world where everyone's flying off the handle at every disagreement, screaming or storming out of every issue,imagine the witness of a church that works through things together in love,using the highest authority of our life, God's word, to untangle the issue.No, it's not always easy. But the world will look and say, "What's going on over there? I want to be a part of that."But we have to step back and review for a moment because I don't want anyone to walk away with the wrong idea.So far, we've talked about resolving disputes in-house, not dragging disagreements to the court, and how we are presenting ourselves to the world.Those concepts could be sinfully twisted into an excuse to cover up sin.Now, we don't need to review all the sickening things that have been covered up by churches all over the world.Sinful men have tried to hide their sin, tried to hide abuse by saying things like, "Let's keep this in-house."No, they are wrong.This passage is not about covering things up or ignoring sin. Abuse in court or otherwise is sin.Covering up sin is sin. A forced reconciliation is a false reconciliation.Ignoring sin for the sake of the church's witness is a false witness.If someone's sinful act is a criminal act, then the correct response is to hand them over to the authorities.And that's God's idea, not mine. See Romans 13.I just want to be crystal clear.Paul, just like in chapter 5, is calling for the opposite of a cover up.He's calling us to recognize and remove flagrant, unrepentant sin.And that distinction is important because we all sin.It's not like, "Oh, I was coveting my friend's car yesterday."And last week, I had a lustful thought.Guess I have to leave Harvest Bible Chapel.No, of course all of us struggle with sin, but we commit that as a family,we're here to walk with each other in becoming purified by our Lord.We need each other's support and encouragement as each one of us turns away from our sin daily to become more like Jesus Christ.In fact, in him, we must renounce any relationship that we have to sin.Point number three on your outline today.In a church dispute, remember your relationship number three to sin.We renounce.Let's pick up in verse nine.It says, "Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God?Do not be deceived.Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers,nor men who practice homosexuality, nor thieves,nor the greedy, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers,will inherit the kingdom of God."Now, reading this after the previous section can seem jarring.Paul is talking about disputes, the courts,and then he drops into this list of sins for which someone will not enter heaven.Now, understand that Paul is talking about a lifestyle of unrepentant, continual sin.Committing one of these sins or any sin in isolationdoes not automatically banish a person from heavenif that person repents of their sin and believes in the work of Jesus for their forgiveness.But why does the connection here to verses one to eight?Well, two things.First, verse one asked if believers dare take their case before the unrighteous.And then here it says, "Do you not know that the unrighteouswill inherit the kingdom of God?"Sorry, the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God.Paul is saying, "Church, you should resolve your disputesinstead of bringing them before people who are living in reckless sin for them to decide."You're like, "Don't worry, I keep beef out of the legal system."Okay, well, do you bring your church disputes before unbelieving friends or family?Do you complain about the church or people in the church at work or on social media?That is bringing your case before the unrighteous for them to judge.Now, as for the second connection, recall the underhanded dealings of these civil courts.People in the church were using their influence and status to manipulate other Christians via lawsuitsto take advantage of their own brothers for their gain.That sin belongs in this list, too.See, this isn't a random list of sinfulness.This list is about not being content and reaching out of bounds to get more.And really, that goes all the way back to the first sin, doesn't it?Back in Genesis, God told Adam,"And the Lord God commanded the man saying, 'You may surely eat of every tree of the garden,but of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, you shall not eat,for in the day that you eat of it, you shall surely die.'"But Adam and Eve ultimately were not content with that.And so they reached outside the bounds that God created.That's the same root as every sin in this list.God says that sexual intimacy is between one man and one woman within the covenant of marriage.But people say, "I'm not content with that."Be it adultery, homosexuality, or any form of sexual immorality,instead of receiving God's gift as he intended,they reached outside God's design to take something else, or idolatry.God says we should worship Him and only Him.But people say, "I'm not content with that."They worship money, success, celebrity.They reach outside of what they know in their heart to worship anything but God.What about drunkards or revilers, people who abuse alcohol or verbally abuse others?God set a boundary around drunkenness and a boundary on our speech,but they say, "I'm not content with that.I will drink how I want and I'll say what I want."Or thieves, the greedy, swindlers, whatever they have, they say, "I'm not content with that.I want more and I'm willing to reach out and take it, even if it means stealing from my own family."And that's where the Corinthian church was, reaching out of bounds to take from their brothers and sisters.Paul says their sin is the same as these.And if you live a life of unrepentant, habitual sin, a life reaching out of bounds,you will not inherit the kingdom of God.So church, we have to ask ourselves, what should our relationship be to sin?Titus chapter 2 verse 11 says, "For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions and to live self-controlled, upright and godly lives in the present age."We must renounce sin.That's our relationship, not embracing it, not excusing it, but rejecting it, turning away, running away.How do we do that?Well, praise the Lord, we are about to read some of the most incredible words in Scripture on that topic.Our last point today, you must remember your relationship, number four, to Jesus Christ.We are renewed.1 Corinthians chapter 6 verse 11, it says, "And such were some of you, but you were washed, you were sanctified,you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.And such were some of you."Some translations say, "And this is what some of you used to be."Paul is saying, "You used to do these things, but God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to take the punishment for your sin upon Himself."He bore that sin in His death on the cross and then conquering death rose again in victory.And this verse applies to anyone who will repent and believe in Him as their Savior.Now, you might think that stuff that you used to do is too much to overcome.You're afraid Jesus knows who you were.Well, Jesus knows your whole story and He still invites you into a relationship with Him.He wants to release you from your sin and bring you true contentment.So repent and believe.As it says here, "If you believe, you were washed clean.Sin from your past, present, and future has been washed away in the name of Jesus."You were sanctified, meaning you were set apart as holy and you are being made holy.God is shaping you into what He already calls you.And you were justified, meaning the charges of sin against you have been dropped.You're innocent.That lifestyle of unrepentant sin, that's who you used to be.You are made new.In a dispute, you must remember your relationship with Jesus Christ because that relationship determines all other relationships.But some might think, "If I have that relationship with Christ and if I'm made new, why do I still sin?Why do we still have disputes and disagreements and fights?"I read one scholar put it this way.Imagine, I know this is going to be hard to believe, that you were caught in a snowstorm.It shouldn't be too hard.You're covered in snow, totally freezing, and you feel like you might not make it.But somehow, you crawl and you make it back to your house and you get inside.The room is warm.Maybe fireplace is going.You're saved.But even though you're safe standing in the warmth,it's going to take some time for the ice in your pockets to thaw out.You see the picture.You are secure in Christ, but not all of your sin has melted away yet.That won't be totally complete until we reach heaven.Until then, through our relationship with Christ, we are safe indoors being justifiedand we're thawing out being sanctified at the same time.So as we close, I hope you see how and why the church must deal with disputes in a godly way.We should be able to handle that stuff through Jesus.Next time you're in a dispute, step back and remember, this is my brother or sister in Christ.My goal is to be reconciled with them.Remember that we are representing Christ to the world.The way that we interact should reflect our Lord, showing the world that Jesus works.Remember that we've renounced sin and we lovingly help each other do that.We don't manipulate others.We don't reach out of bounds grabbing for more.That's not who we are.Because who are we?Remember that in Jesus, we are a people renewed.We don't serve sin or our selfish desires anymore.Together, unified and purified, we serve our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.Let's pray together.Lord God, I thank you for your word.God, I thank you for the church.And I pray God that when we face disputes, we would face them with godly wisdom and character, love and patience, God,that we may be reconciled, that we may be a light into the world around us.We pray and ask for your mercy, God, upon us now and we ask for you to guide us in these matters.Let us be a church unified and purified for your glory, Lord God.In Jesus' name, amen.Amen. Small Group DiscussionRead 1 Corinthians 6:1-11What was your big take-away from this passage / message?How should disputes within the church family be resolved? How does that process differ for disputes with unbelievers?How and why must the church faithfully guard its witness to the world?Paul says those listed in 1 Cor. 6:9-10 will not inherit the kingdom of God. What does he mean by that?If we are made new in Jesus Christ, why do we still struggle with sin? How can we come alongside each other as believers in that struggle?BreakoutPray for one another.

    "Language and food are the two vehicles that can help people understand each other better."That's Liang Wang, co-founder and chocolate maker at KESSHŌ Chocolate in Austin, Texas. KESSHŌ makes craft chocolate bars inspired by Asian cuisine and ingredients. These bars open up worlds to the curious taster that might otherwise have remained closed.I met Liang in person for the first time at the Midwest Craft Chocolate Festival in November, and was pleased sit down with her recently to talk about how these concepts are created, and how flavor can bridge cultural divides to speak to something deeper in our shared humanity, something more important now than ever. You can learn more about KESSHŌ Chocolate on their website, or follow them on Instagram. You can listen to my episode with Estelle Tracy about pairing with tea here, and our episode in which we paired KESSHŌ's Lamb Skewer bar here.

This conversation offers hope, clarity, and reassurance for anyone navigating addiction, whether personally or through someone they love.Topics Covered:- The difference between shame and guilt and how each impacts recovery- Why there are many valid pathways to recovery- SMART Recovery vs. 12-step programs- The importance of choice and self-empowerment in healing- How families can support recovery without controlling it- Common myths about addiction and “rock bottom”- Practical ways to communicate with a loved one in treatment- Building a meaningful life beyond addictionAbout the GuestDr. Tom Horvath is a board-certified clinical psychologist, Navy veteran, and internationally recognized expert in addiction recovery. He is the co-founder and former president of SMART Recovery, a science-based, self-empowering recovery network, and the founder of Practical Recovery in San Diego. Dr. Horvath is also the author of Sex, Drugs, Gambling, and Chocolate, a practical workbook for overcoming addictive behaviors.Quotes:“A little guilt can help us change, but too much shame keeps us stuck.”“Recovery works best when people have a choice.”“There isn't one right way to recover, only the way that works for you.”

    This week we're unpacking three of the health stories that have been everywhere as January gets underway. We start with why friendship and social connection are now being talked about as a serious health issue, from loneliness in our 30s to the growing evidence that connection supports mental health, reduces inflammation and even influences longevity. We then look at the headlines linking dark chocolate to ageing, breaking down the new research on cocoa compounds and biological age, why it was picked up so widely, and what it does and doesn't mean in real life. As ever, context matters more than hype. Finally, we dive into the nervous system and the vagus nerve, one of the biggest wellness trends heading into 2026. We explain what's actually going on beneath the buzz, why so many people feel overstimulated and wired, and what genuinely helps your nervous system feel calmer and more regulated, without falling for quick fixes.

    This month on BA Bake Club, hosts Jesse Szewczyk and Shilpa Uskokovic break out their whisks and create a picture perfect pavlova. It has all the top textures of a showstopping bake: It's crunchy, it's chewy, it's decadent and it's boozy. Inspired by Shilpa's childhood favorite, Black Forest gâteau, we dive into the inbox and dig into listener questions. And Shilpa preaches about the virtue of a cracked meringue. “My point is if it cracks, it's okay,” says Shilpa. “That's really what the whipped cream and the toppings are for sure. Just patch it back together.” Watch Shilpa make her fool-proof pavlova on Instagram. 2025 James Beard award-winning cookbook author Nicola Lamb also stops by to help weigh in on what you can do with leftover egg yolks and comes up with some creative suggestions!
