They discuss the importance of mutual honor among church leaders, the need for safeguarding and accountability, and the influence of John Wimber and the Vineyard movement.

Aptera Motors is set to hit the gas in public markets with an expected IPO on Thursday. Ahead of the debut, co-CEO Chris Anthony talks about how the company is creating a solar-powered electric vehicle that doesn't need daily charging. When it comes to carving out a space in the EV space, he sees Aptera's car creating "a whole new category" for EVs with a reasonable price point. On the greater EV industry, Chris says the U.S. needs to lean more into the space and makes the argument that the more adoption expands, the more infrastructure will be built to support EVs.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Welcome to the first episode in a three-part series about community wildfire resilience, sponsored by Fire Aside.

This breadth of experience has made him instrumental in informing and advancing critical wildfire policy at the state level in California, while also getting involved in projects that leverage technology to help us better understand and mitigate risk to wildfire. After 30 years in CAL FIRE, his goals upon leaving the agency were simple: 1. Bring fire back to fire-adapted ecosystems.2. Build more understanding around what strategies and mitigative actions can meaningful reduce risk in communities.3. Develop and support policies that help us meet these two goals.4. Find innovators and technologies that can help scale up some of the critical actions we need to take to move the needle on fire resilience. We would like to extend a huge thank you to Fire Aside for sponsoring this series.
