Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God; once you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.

Genesis 2:23-24 NL“At last!” the man exclaimed. “This one is bone from my bone, and flesh from my flesh! She will be called ‘woman,' because she was taken from ‘man.' ” This explains why a man leaves his father and mother and is joined to his wife, and the two are united into one.
Genesis 2:15–18 (CSB)15 The Lord God took the man and placed him in the garden of Eden to work it and watch over it.16 And the Lord God commanded the man, “You are free to eat from any tree of the garden, 17 but you must not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, for on the day you eat from it, you will certainly die.” 18 Then the Lord God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper corresponding to him.”

As believers, we know that our source of true wisdom starts in God's word. But passing on and receiving wisdom isn't a solo pursuit—it's a shared journey. In this message, we unpacked how God designed wisdom to flow through relationships, bridge generations, and be given and received with humility. If you want to learn how to build meaningful mentorships, glean from the experiences of those who've come before you, or pour into the next generation, then tune in!

God's wisdom empowers us to live with soft hearts in a hardened world—to live free from the trap of offense. It isn't always easy, but we can choose to let go, forgive, and walk in the freedom Jesus modeled. Tune in to learn how to respond with grace and love, even in a world full of hurt.
Ga'avah – “to rise up; to lift oneself above others” Isaiah 14:12-15 NLTHow you are fallen from heaven, O shining star, son of the morning! You have been thrown down to the earth, you who destroyed the nations of the world.

Throughout our lives, we are all faced with various decisions, some more difficult than others. Once we've made the decision to follow Jesus, we're called to not only address Him as Lord but also to obey Him as Lord—choosing to give up our will to embrace His. Jesus submitted Himself to the will of the Father and was obedient to the point of enduring suffering so that we may have life. He knew that His temporary suffering would lead to sharing eternal joy with all who would be saved through Him. Tune in to find out what it looks like to surrender our plans for His, which always have a greater purpose than anything we could ever imagine!
It's easy to think there's plenty of time, but eternity is closer than we realize. For some, this life is the closest they'll get to heaven. For others, the best is yet to come. The world is desperate for good news, and if you've met Jesus, you've got some.
As followers of Jesus, we have the privilege of knowing that earth is not our forever home. Because of His sacrifice, we now have a home prepared for us in heaven, where we'll get to spend eternity with the Father. But if we're honest, when it comes to money, sometimes we live like this world is the only one that exists.
We often chase happiness, hoping our circumstances will align with each of our preferences and desires—but what if there's something better? Happiness comes and goes, depending on what happens. But joy? Joy is rooted in Someone who never changes. Tune in to this sermon to learn how to stop pursuing only temporary happiness and embrace unshakable joy today!
Jesus tells us in His Word that He came so that we may have abundant life. But many of us are only living a fraction of the life He desires for us! As disciples of Christ, we were created for more than survival mode. Take an honest look at your own life. Would you say that you're walking in His purpose and experiencing all that He has for you? Or are you just going through the motions? Tune in to find out how to make the most of every opportunity and give God glory as you...
Hebrews 11 NIV 1-38By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going… For he was LOOKING FORWARD to the city with foundations, whose architect and builder is God… They were longing for a better...
John was given a beautiful vision of the new heaven and earth. One day, Jesus will return as King, and He will vindicate His people who are found faithful.
When sin entered the Garden of Eden, we lost the perfect peace and security that we can find only in God's presence. Unholiness cannot dwell with holiness. So, because of the curse, we lost unity with God. Our connection was severed, and we could no longer see Him face-to-face.
How and why did human's develop self-awareness of what we know and don't know? How does it develop in relation to how we evaluate what other people know? What are the risks of cognitive bias tainting our ability to learn and self correct? In this episode, we have the interesting question of our own self-awareness, or Meta-cognition, to understand. For centuries philosophers have called on us to “know thyself”, but only now with the tools of modern neuroscience have we been able to scientifically quantify the way we consciously track our behaviour, performance, thoughts and knowledge. So today we'll be getting into why this is important for learning and error correction; we're going to talk about meta-cognition's use for “mind reading” I.e. tracking our confidence in others in their own knowledge, both friends and foes, fundamental for the evolution of our collaborative groups; the implications of cognitive bias blind spots in metacognition for updating our collective beliefs over time; also whether metacognition is proportionally correlated to intelligence; and how technology and AI has and will influence the future of our self-awareness, and whether it's convenient to try programming AI to be metacognitive too, or if that would invite disaster. For these matters there can be no better guest than University College London Cognitive neuroscience Professor, Stephen Fleming. He's the author of the 2021 book “Know Thyself, the science of self awareness”, and founder of the Meta Cognition Group at UCL, and the group leader of the Max Plank, UCL Centre for Computational Neuroscience. What we discuss: 00:00 Intro 05:15 Striking aspects of experience get you thinking. 08:00 ‘Know thyself' - a moral, social and spiritual responsibility 10:00 Lao Tsu - to think you know when you do not is a disease. 11:00 Tracking the quality of our performance, error correction and learning. 14:00 Cognitive offloading - compensating for our limitations. 14:30 Metacognition and intelligence are similar but different. 17:40 Inside-out modelling of the world influences your cognition. 20:45 The brain has confidence in colour - Subjective inflation in the periphery. 22:00 UCL metacognition lab experiments - confidence in performance. 25:20 Metacogntiive efficiency - skill in evaluating your success. 26:20 MRI scans of the processes of self-aware brain activity. 28:50 Sam Harris - Self-awareness in the brain vs Ego-self. 33:20 Mind reading/Theory of mind: Evaluation of others VS evaluation of myself. 38:50 Children's learning 43:40 Chris Frith - metacognition for collaboration: Balancing our own VS group evaluations. 44:30 Supremacy of collective knowledge 46:45 Why did self-awareness evolve? 51:30 The fight or flight mental state trumps self-reflective evaluation. 54:00 Stress blunts frontal cortex activity. 54:20 Modern life stress is not the same as the stress we evolved for. 57:20 We need self-reflection in stressful arguments but it's not available. 58:20 Education: re-presenting your ideas - an antidote to over confidence. 01:04:00 Left Brain Interpreter - lack of self-awareness of our cognitive bias. 01:10:00 Exacerbated confidence judgements in internet/social media information ecosystems. 01:14:40 Awareness of the inside out way we construct our view of the world could be positive for compassion. 01:17:10 Balancing long-term societal self awareness, with traditional short term one. 01:21:00 The influence of Ai and technology on our self awareness. 01:26:30 ‘Offloading' aids for cognition VS replacements for our cognition?

You've probably heard the saying, “Stay ready so you don't have to get ready.” But what exactly does that mean, especially when it comes to living out Jesus' call to be light in a dark world and, ultimately, to make disciples wherever we go? Tune in to discover the power of preparation and what it looks like to live prepared for whatever, and whoever, God sends along our path as we journey with Him.

They are authors of “What Makes Us Social?”. In this episode, we focus on “What Makes Us Social?”. We start by discussing what social cognition is, and then go through topics like learning and imitation; emotions, our need to affiliate, and joint action; predicting other people's behavior; group identity; reputation; trust; mentalizing; how high-level cognitive processes interact with low-level cognitive processes; consciousness; collective problem-solving; and teaching, cumulative culture, and the role of culture in human cognition. Finally, we discuss how we can foster cooperation. -- A HUGE THANK YOU TO MY PATRONS/SUPPORTERS: PER HELGE LARSEN, JERRY MULLER, HANS FREDRIK SUNDE, BERNARDO SEIXAS, OLAF ALEX, ADAM KESSEL, MATTHEW WHITINGBIRD, ARNAUD WOLFF, TIM HOLLOSY, HENRIK AHLENIUS, JOHN CONNORS, FILIP FORS CONNOLLY, DAN DEMETRIOU, ROBERT WINDHAGER, RUI INACIO, ZOOP, MARCO NEVES, COLIN HOLBROOK, PHIL KAVANAGH, SAMUEL ANDREEFF, FRANCIS FORDE, TIAGO NUNES, FERGAL CUSSEN, HAL HERZOG, NUNO MACHADO, JONATHAN LEIBRANT, JOÃO LINHARES, STANTON T, SAMUEL CORREA, ERIK HAINES, MARK SMITH, JOÃO EIRA, TOM HUMMEL, SARDUS FRANCE, DAVID SLOAN WILSON, YACILA DEZA-ARAUJO, ROMAIN ROCH, DIEGO LONDOÑO CORREA, YANICK PUNTER, ADANER USMANI, CHARLOTTE BLEASE, NICOLE BARBARO, ADAM HUNT, PAWEL OSTASZEWSKI, NELLEKE BAK, GUY MADISON, GARY G HELLMANN, SAIMA AFZAL, ADRIAN JAEGGI, PAULO TOLENTINO, JOÃO BARBOSA, JULIAN PRICE, EDWARD HALL, HEDIN BRØNNER, DOUGLAS FRY, FRANCA BORTOLOTTI, GABRIEL PONS CORTÈS, URSULA LITZCKE, SCOTT, ZACHARY FISH, TIM DUFFY, SUNNY SMITH, JON WISMAN, DANIEL FRIEDMAN, WILLIAM BUCKNER, PAUL-GEORGE ARNAUD, LUKE GLOWACKI, GEORGIOS THEOPHANOUS, CHRIS WILLIAMSON, PETER WOLOSZYN, DAVID WILLIAMS, DIOGO COSTA, ANTON ERIKSSON, CHARLES MOREY, ALEX CHAU, AMAURI MARTÍNEZ, CORALIE CHEVALLIER, BANGALORE ATHEISTS, LARRY D.

Living for God is not just about having the right information…but did that INFORMATION produce TRANSFORMATION in us?

As believers, each of us is a part of the body of Christ—one body with many members. We were created on purpose with a purpose, and every breath that we've been gifted by God is an opportunity to allow His Kingdom to fully reign in our lives. The reality is that, sometimes, we get comfortable and stop taking steps forward in our faith. But we have a responsibility to do something with the new life we've been given.
Matthew 7:21-23 NIV“Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,' will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons...
Tonight I will be giving my take on the recent controversy and criticisms surrounding Guilio Tononi's “Integrated Information Theory”. A group neuroscientists have gotten 126 scientists to sign a paper calling IIT pseudoscience. I will get into the inner workings and inside baseball regarding these topics.

When it comes to judging, it's in our nature… It's easy to point out the flaws in others while overlooking the areas we need to address, but when we do, we give the kind of judgment that we'd never want for ourselves. Jesus left us with clear instruction: don't be blind to your own sins. Take care of your own wrongdoing first, and only then can you see clearly to help those around you—lovingly calling one another out of sin and into Christ-likeness.
What would the world look like if we all treated one another how we want to be treated? While it's easier said than done when we attempt it in our own ability, we have the grace of a loving Father to help us do what would otherwise be impossible. It's a divine gift that God extends to us time and time again, regardless of our actions and whether or not we deserve it. In His goodness, He invites us to mirror that kind of boundless love and compassion toward others in the
Jesus left us with a command: “…do not worry about your life.” The reality is that we've all gotten caught in the quicksand of “what-ifs” and doubt when it comes to finances. But our Savior tells us that when we learn to think about money His way and place our trust in Him, we can close the door on worry! So, in a world full of uncertainty and trouble, how can we genuinely believe and rest in Jesus' promise to care for us and meet every single one of our needs?
When Jesus talked about money, He introduced a wildly controversial idea of having an eternal view of wealth and that money has the potential to have lasting, heavenly impact. That's still strange for many of us today because the world's view is to build and accumulate money and things that show our success—things that seemingly bring us comfort, security and even power.
Everything that we have is a gift. From the breath in our lungs to the food on our tables and clothes on our backs, we get to experience the generosity of our loving God each day. As His children, God wants to teach us not only how to fully receive His good gifts but also to be an extension of His generosity through the way we live. When we see and prioritize the needs of others, we begin to see the fullness of the life we were created for!
Matthew 6:1,4 NLT “Watch out! Don't do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you.”
