Today is day 216 and we are on the section The Seventh Petition: "But deliver us from evil". 216. What are angels? Angels are rational, spiritual beings created by God. God's holy angels joyfully serve him in heavenly worship, and God appoints them to act as messengers, bringing words of guidance and assurance to the faithful, and assisting and protecting them. (Numbers 22:21–31; Psalm 148:1–6; Isaiah 6:2–3; Luke 1:19, 26–33; Acts 12:7–11; Hebrews 1:7–14; 13:2) We will conclude today with The Collect for Holy Michael and All Angels found on page 632 in the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Today is day 214 and we are on the section The Seventh Petition: "But deliver us from evil". 214. What are Satan and his demons? Demons, of whom Satan is chief, are fallen angels. Satan rebelled against God and led other angels to follow him. They now cause spiritual and sometimes physical harm to mortals, and they sow lies that lead to confusion, despair, sin, and death. (Job 1–2; Daniel 10:20–21; Luke 8:26–29; 9:37–43; 11:14–26; Acts 16:16–18; 2 Thessalonians 2:9–10) We will conclude today with The Collect for the First Sunday in Lent found on page 605 in the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Claire has spent nearly a decade writing emails, fixing onboarding flows, and tightening messaging for enterprise AI security, LiDAR tech, and competitive SaaS products — where a bad first impression costs everything. In this conversation, she pulls back the curtain on lifecycle marketing, the micro aha moment, the IKEA effect in onboarding, and why your offboarding experience is either a hidden growth lever or a slow revenue leak.If you're spending money to acquire customers and watching them quietly disappear, this episode will tell you exactly why — and what to fix first.Key Takeaways5:07 — Activation is the real growth lever. Most SaaS companies obsess over acquisition. Claire explains why a 5% lift in retention has more revenue impact than almost any ad spend — and why lifecycle marketing starts the moment someone clicks "sign up."6:23 — What lifecycle marketing actually means. It's not just a drip campaign. Claire breaks down the full journey: onboarding → value realization → feature expansion → offboarding — and why each phase is a marketing opportunity.8:29 — Predatory offboarding vs. strategic offboarding. Using Audible as the ultimate cautionary tale, Claire explains the difference between trapping customers and creating a graceful exit that keeps them in your world — and willing to come back.13:13 — The biggest onboarding mistake: empty states. Launching users into a blank dashboard is the fastest way to lose them. Claire explains what to do instead, and why collecting just 2–3 behavioral data points at signup changes everything downstream.15:02 — The IKEA effect in SaaS. A little friction is a good thing. Claire explains why making signup too easy actually reduces commitment — and how the cake mix that bombed (until they added eggs back in) is the perfect metaphor for onboarding design.16:33 — Stop collecting demographic data. Collect jobs-to-be-done. Knowing someone is a "senior manager at a 10,000-person enterprise" helps no one. Claire's framework: problem → motivation → outcome. That's the only data that moves the needle.19:53 — How to run customer interviews that actually work. The cardinal rule: ask "what" not "why." What was going on in your day? What led you to sign up? Inviting a story gets you gold. Asking for a justification gets you a polite non-answer.24:51 — Micro aha moments: the framework behind great onboarding. Don't make users complete a checklist before they see value. Map the big aha moments first, then reverse-engineer what tiny wins need to happen along the way.27:07 — Your pricing page is a micro aha moment. No pricing on your site? ChatGPT already knows. Claire's story of convincing a CEO to ask AI what their product costs — and the result — is a must-hear reality check.32:03 — Behavior-triggered emails beat time-triggered emails every time. Don't email users based on how many days have passed. Email them based on what they've done (or haven't done) in your product. Claire explains activation vs. adoption — and Slack's famous 1,000-message benchmark.35:54 — Why deals stall at no decision — and how to fight it. It's not usually the competitor. It's spreadsheets, internal politics, and the fear of being burned again. Claire's advice: empower the champion inside the company who's trying to get your tool approved.42:20 — The 30-day activation sprint. Claire's step-by-step playbook: optimize the sign-up page → add social proof → send a high-converting welcome email (60% open rate is achievable) → limit in-app prompts to three → A/B test subject lines before content.Tweetable Quotes"Your acquisition budget can't cover what a broken onboarding experience costs you." — Claire Heginbotham"It's not a churn problem. It's an activation problem." — Jeff Mains"Personality is your brand's moat. The more everything sounds the same, the more being human becomes a competitive advantage." — Claire Heginbotham"Don't discount friction. A little skin in the game increases commitment — that's the IKEA effect." — Claire Heginbotham"Ask 'what led you here' instead of 'why did you sign up.' One invites a story. The other asks for a justification." — Claire Heginbotham"Your real competition isn't another app. It's laziness and spreadsheets." — Claire Heginbotham"The company that empowers the internal champion best is the one they're going to fight for." — Claire Heginbotham"Stop asking 'why did you sign up?' Start asking 'what was going on in your life that made you go looking?' The story is where the real answer lives." — Jeff Mains"Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups." — Claire Heginbotham (quoting her first boss)"People don't leave a bad solution for a better one. They leave when they find someone who finally understands what they were actually dealing with." — Futureproof Founder closing thoughtSaaS Leadership Lessons1. The first 10 minutes determine everything. You can out-market every competitor and still lose the customer in the first session. If users don't reach a moment where your product means something to them quickly, they're gone — and no re-engagement campaign will save you. Treat the first 10 minutes like the most important sales conversation you'll ever have.2. Collect behavioral data at signup, not demographic data. Job titles and company sizes are noise. What matters is why someone showed up. Build 2–3 onboarding questions around jobs-to-be-done: the problem they're fleeing, the outcome they're imagining, and the motivation in between. That data powers every email, feature tour, and win-back you'll ever send.3. Design for micro aha moments, not checklist completion. Checklists train users to feel like they're working for your product instead of with it. Map your biggest value moments backward — what tiny realizations have to click first? Deliver those early and often. Every small "oh, I get it" moment is a deposit in the retention bank.4. Offboarding is a growth lever, not a white flag. How a customer leaves determines whether they come back. A graceful downgrade-to-free path, an honest exit survey, and a well-timed win-back sequence turn churned users into future buyers. Predatory offboarding (à la Audible) may retain users in the short term but destroys trust permanently.5. Your internal champion needs ammunition. In B2B, the person who signs the contract isn't always the person who found you. Someone inside that company is fighting to get your tool approved. Transparent pricing, clear ROI framing, and proof of support quality are weapons you hand them — and the company that arms them best wins the deal.6. Test assumptions with data, not debates. Most internal arguments about pricing, onboarding flows, and messaging are based on fear of edge cases that never happen. Before you sink time into back-and-forths about what might go wrong, ask: has it ever gone wrong? If the answer is never, ship it and measure. Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups.Guest Resourcesclaire@copyisland.comcopyisland.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/claireheginbotham/https://www.instagram.com/p/DE44XkOM6Jm/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

It's our 250th episode, and we're celebrating with one of our biggest nostalgia trips yet. Joined by Kalyn and Christian of That's Pretty Dark, we dive headfirst into the weird, hilarious, and occasionally disturbing pop culture that shaped every millennial childhood. Before the game, Trevin debates whether his dogs have declared war on his porch by refusing to poop anywhere else. Amanda returns from Florida after Gatorland finds creative new ways to upsell souvenir photos. Christian shares his own wildlife dilemma as an Alabama black bear keeps terrorizing his home. Kalyn learns the difference between cuticle scissors and clippers. Then it's time for My Childhood Was a Fever Dream, an original trivia game packed with bizarre facts from the '80s and '90s... except one of them is completely made up. Learn the surprising truths behind NASA using Taco Bell tortillas in space, the real meaning of POGs, the scandalous lyrics of the Macarena, AOL's infamous free trial CD campaign, Michael Jackson's reported attempt to buy Marvel, why AT&T accidentally advertised for 1-800-COLLECT, Princess Diana's planned role in The Bodyguard 2, and the voice actress behind The Offspring's "Pretty Fly (For a White Guy)." Can our guests spot the fake fact before the final round?

To Be a Christian: The Anglican Catechism in a Year

Today is day 210 and we are on the section on The Seventh Petition: "But deliver us from evil". 210. What is evil? Evil is the willful perversion of God's will. Evil defies God's holiness, violates his Law, enslaves us to sin, and mars his good creation. (Genesis 3:1–19; 4:1–8; 6:5; Proverbs 1:10–19; Isaiah 59:4–13; Mark 7:20–23; 1 John 3:4) We will conclude today with The Collect for the Second Sunday in Lent found on page 605 in the Book of Common Prayer (2019).

Episode 455 | Martial Arts Appreciation Month: How to Drive Referrals, Reviews, and Retention Podcast Description National Martial Arts Appreciation Month (September) isn't just a “fun theme” — it's a full marketing and retention campaign you can run every year. In this episode, Duane Brumitt and Allie Alberigo break down how they built Martial Arts Appreciation Month into a repeatable playbook that drives referrals, strengthens culture, and gives families a real reason to talk about what martial arts has done for their kids. You'll hear practical ideas you can copy: a buddy week where students bring friends, sponsor-funded T-shirts that turn into walking billboards, review drives that feel like appreciation (not begging), and simple ways to educate parents on your school's legacy so they feel more connected — and stay longer. Key Takeaways Treat Appreciation Month like a campaign, not a calendar gimmick. When you plan it as a full campaign, it becomes a system for referrals, reviews, and retention — not “extra work for maybe results.” Appreciation changes the story families tell themselves. You can't force people to value what you do. However, you can give them a lens to look through so they notice progress: who their child used to be vs. who they are now. Events drive attention — and attention drives action. People are event-oriented more than ever. So when you package your message as an “event month,” families pay attention in a way they don't during normal weeks. Buddy Week + T-shirts = a referral engine that doesn't feel salesy.A structured “bring-a-friend” week inside the month gives you a clear referral push. Pair it with a T-shirt for both the student and the guest, and you create instant excitement and visibility. Use sponsorships to fund (and profit from) your marketing. Instead of paying out of pocket for shirts, Duane and Allie use community sponsors (with tiered packages) to cover costs and create profit — while building local business relationships. Reviews work better when they're framed as appreciation. A review drive tied to “show your appreciation” feels natural. Add a raffle-ticket system and prizes, and participation goes up. Video testimonials are marketing assets — not one-and-done content. Have instructors and students record short videos on why they appreciate martial arts (and your school specifically). Those clips can be reused on social, email, and your website. Brand the testimonials so they don't become generic. If students say “martial arts helped me,” you're advertising every school in town. Ask them to say your school name (ex: “TriStar Martial Arts helped me…”) so the message stays attached to your brand. “Dead leads” aren't dead — they're future event buyers and referral sources. Even if a guest doesn't enroll, they may attend camps, seminars, parent night outs, or refer someone later because they had a great experience. Education builds reverence — and reverence builds retention. Many families join because you're convenient and professional, not because they understand your legacy. Appreciation Month is your chance to teach them who you are, what you've built, and why it matters. Action Steps for School Owners Pick your month and commit to the campaign. September ties nicely to back-to-school, but you can run it any month. The key is planning early enough to execute. Choose 5 core activities (don't try to do all 30 ideas). Start with a simple stack like: Buddy Week (bring-a-friend) T-shirt incentive Review drive + raffle Weekly “Martial Arts Legend / History” spotlight Video testimonials (students + instructors) Build your sponsor offer (even if it's just 2 tiers). Create a simple sponsorship sheet for local businesses. If you want to copy Duane's approach, use four tiers: Community Champion — $200 Character Builder — $250 Leadership Partner — $300 Warrior Advocate — $400 Make the T-shirt the “ticket” to participation. Give a shirt to the guest and the student who brings them. It's a reward, a uniform, and a walking ad. Run a review raffle instead of “please leave us a review.”Every review = a ticket in the drawing. Pick prizes families actually want (gear credit, private lesson, birthday party discount, etc.). Collect video testimonials with one rule: say your school name. Give families a simple prompt and remind them to name your school in the first sentence. Add one “culture education” piece per week. Rotate options like: Word of the Week (grit, legacy, inspire, strength) Legacy chart (your instructor lineage) Instructor spotlight videos “Did you know?” facts about the owner/head instructor Create a follow-up plan for visitors. Don't just invite them to join. Invite them to the next event: movie night, bully-proofing seminar, parent night out, camp, etc. Additional Resources Mentioned Martial Arts Appreciation Month PDF playbook (Duane + Allie mention they'll share it via Facebook message and link it on the Episode 455 post at SchoolOwnerTalk.com.) Event Journal / Event recap questions (a repeatable set of questions to document what worked, what to change, and the numbers from each event.) Video testimonial collection + transcription workflow (they mention using Dropbox to collect videos and auto-transcribe, then repurposing the transcript with AI.) Movie Night Ideas (from the episode) Allie's “family martial arts friendly” movie list mentioned: 3 Ninjas (series) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (movies) Warriors of Virtue Top Dog (Chuck Norris) Surf Ninjas The Karate Kid (series) Kung Fu Panda (series) Mulan Underdog Kids Big Trouble in Little China Additional Resources Mentioned (Action Items to Implement) Link the MAAM PDF to the Episode 455 post on SchoolOwnerTalk.com. Plan and promote a movie night (example: 3 Ninjas) with pizza/popcorn and a giveaway. Closing Note If you want a campaign that helps families feel the value of martial arts again — and gives them a reason to bring friends, leave reviews, and stay committed — Martial Arts Appreciation Month is a simple, repeatable way to do it.

n Episode 293 of the Moonshots Podcast, Mike and Mark dive into Albert Read's inspiring book The Imagination Muscle to explore why imagination isn't an inborn gift—it's a muscle that grows stronger with deliberate practice.Together they unpack how the world's greatest creators develop original ideas, why boredom may be one of your greatest creative assets, and how adopting a beginner's mindset can unlock fresh thinking. They also discuss practical exercises to strengthen your imagination, overcome fear, and make creativity part of your everyday life.If you've ever felt stuck, uninspired, or convinced that you're “just not creative,” this episode offers a refreshing perspective—and a practical roadmap—to help you think differently and create with greater confidence.Primary Website: https://www.moonshots.io/Book: The Imagination Muscle by Albert ReadBuy on Amazon: https://geni.us/TsrReYWatch on YouTube: https://youtu.be/-bZ3cn7rCVw⸻Key Themes* Imagination is a skill that can be trained.* Great ideas come from combining diverse sources of inspiration.* Creativity flourishes when we deliberately make time for quiet thinking.* A beginner's mindset helps us escape routine and discover fresh perspectives.* Social media and constant stimulation can limit original thinking.* Fear is one of the biggest obstacles to creativity.* Small, consistent creative habits compound into lasting growth.⸻Concepts & BreakthroughsImagination Is a MuscleAlbert Read reframes creativity as a practice rather than a personality trait. Like physical fitness, imagination strengthens through regular use. Mike and Mark reflect on how this simple shift removes the pressure of waiting for inspiration and replaces it with consistent action.Collect Better InputsThe episode highlights that creative breakthroughs often result from unexpected combinations of ideas. Picasso, Aaron Sorkin and other creative masters all developed unique rituals for gathering inspiration before producing original work.Rather than searching for one brilliant idea, listeners are encouraged to become collectors—of books, conversations, observations and experiences—that can later combine into something entirely new.Protect Space for ThinkingModern life is filled with interruptions, notifications and endless streams of information. Albert argues that imagination needs space to breathe.Mike and Mark discuss creating intentional moments of quiet through walks, uninterrupted mornings, observation exercises and even scheduled boredom—allowing the mind to connect ideas naturally.The Power of the Beginner's MindExperts often become trapped by familiar thinking. Approaching problems with curiosity instead of certainty creates opportunities for innovation.Reading outside your normal interests, asking simple questions and deliberately seeking unfamiliar experiences all help develop fresh perspectives.Courage Before CreativityOne of the episode's strongest insights is that imagination grows alongside courage.Every sketch, poem, voice memo or imperfect idea strengthens resilience against fear of failure. Rather than waiting until ideas are perfect, creative confidence develops through repeated attempts and experimentation.⸻Habits, Tools & Mental Models* Treat imagination like a daily workout.* Collect ideas, quotes and observations in an idea bank.* Schedule periods without digital distractions.* Go for curiosity walks with the goal of noticing something new.* Read outside your usual genres and interests.* Combine two unrelated ideas to generate fresh thinking.* Use voice notes or journals to capture ideas immediately.* Practice one small creative act every day.* Embrace boredom instead of filling every quiet moment.* Ask beginner's questions, even when you think you know the answer.

More information does not always create a better decision. Sometimes, it only delays the move that needs to be made. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why excessive analysis can paralyze entrepreneurs and why execution is the fastest way to uncover what the market actually wants. Spreadsheets can help you prepare. They cannot guarantee success. The only way to collect real data is to launch the offer, observe customer behavior, and adjust based on what actually happens. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why historical data cannot eliminate the uncertainty of entrepreneurship• How overanalyzing destroys speed and momentum• Why paying customers provide more valuable feedback than hypothetical research• How rapid execution and iteration create a competitive advantage The truth is simple: You cannot perfect a product while keeping it hidden from the market. Launch the first version. Collect real feedback. Fix what is broken. Improve what is working. You cannot steer a parked car. Execution generates the data you need to move forward.

It's sad to say but wars create opportunities to apply new technologies in novel ways as the combatants seek to gain advantage over each other. The US-Israeli War on Iran is a case in point. If you've been monitoring the public airwaves about the war, you'll have picked up hints about the role that digital innovations are playing in the crisis. These signals in and of themselves are almost always overshadowed by the big kinetic actions, such as bombings and destruction. Collect them together, project them forward, and they reveal how the world will likely be different when the hostilities abate. In this podcast I share several insights that I believe have significant bearing on the future of oil and gas infrastructure, not just in the Gulf area but globally wherever there is the potential for conflict. ⚒️ Additional Tools & Resources

[TIPS] Classification Best Practices: Building a Defensible Foundation

Host: Lalo Solorzano and Ashley Arnold Published: July 21, 2026 Length: Approximately 12 minutes Presented by: Global Training Center Summary Accurate product classification is the foundation of a strong import compliance program—and one incorrect classification can create problems far beyond the duty rate. In week three of this tips series, Lalo Solorzano and guest host Ashley Arnold explore the practical steps importers can take to build a more accurate, consistent, and defensible classification process. Drawing on her experience classifying products ranging from apparel to machine components, Ashley explains why importers should never rely solely on a supplier's suggested tariff number. Suppliers may understand their products, but the importer remains responsible for determining the correct U.S. classification based on complete product specifications, materials, construction, and intended use. The conversation also covers the value of CBP rulings, written classification rationales, product catalog management, version tracking, and regular audits. Lalo and Ashley discuss why similar-looking products may require different classifications, how small design or material changes can affect an HTS number, and where technology can support—but not replace—professional judgment. The central takeaway is simple: every classification decision should tell a clear story that can still be understood and defended months or years later. Main Topic / Discussion Lalo and Ashley discuss how importers can create a reliable classification program by collecting complete product information, researching relevant rulings, documenting the reasoning behind each decision, and reviewing classifications whenever a product changes. They also explain why classification affects more than ordinary customs duties. An incorrect HTS number can influence trade-remedy tariffs, free trade agreement analysis, entry audits, and an importer's overall compliance exposure. Technology can help organize large product catalogs and maintain classification histories, but importers must still apply informed judgment and maintain supporting documentation. Key Takeaways • Importers are responsible for the accuracy of their U.S. classifications and should not automatically accept tariff numbers supplied by overseas manufacturers. • Collect complete product details—including specifications, bills of materials, construction, composition, and intended use—before assigning an HTS number. • Use relevant CBP rulings and other classification research to support decisions, while recognizing that similar products may not be identical enough to receive the same classification. • Document the rationale, supporting sources, review history, and product changes so every classification can be clearly explained during a future audit.

A sermon for Pentecost 8 (July 19, 2026) Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 Jesus put before the crowd another parable: “The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, ‘Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' He answered, ‘An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, ‘Then do you want us to go and gather them?' But he replied, ‘No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'” Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, “Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.” He answered, “The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!”

Old Testament: Genesis 28:10-19a 10Jacob left Beer-sheba and went toward Haran. 11He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. 12And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13And the Lord stood beside him and said, "I am the Lord, the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; 14and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. 15Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you." 16Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, "Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!" 17And he was afraid, and said, "How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven." 18So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19He called that place Bethel. Psalm: Psalm 139:1-11, 22-23  1 Lord, you have searched me out and known me; *        you know my sitting down and my rising up;        you discern my thoughts from afar. 2 You trace my journeys and my resting-places *        and are acquainted with all my ways. 3 Indeed, there is not a word on my lips, *        but you, O Lord, know it altogether. 4 You press upon me behind and before *        and lay your hand upon me. 5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; *        it is so high that I cannot attain to it. 6 Where can I go then from your Spirit? *        where can I flee from your presence? 7 If I climb up to heaven, you are there; *        if I make the grave my bed, you are there also. 8 If I take the wings of the morning *        and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 9 Even there your hand will lead me *        and your right hand hold me fast. 10 If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me, *        and the light around me turn to night," 11 Darkness is not dark to you;    the night is as bright as the day; *        darkness and light to you are both alike. 22 Search me out, O God, and know my heart; *        try me and know my restless thoughts. 23 Look well whether there be any wickedness in me *        and lead me in the way that is everlasting. Epistle: Romans 8:12-25 12So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, "Abba! Father!" 16it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. 19For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labor pains until now; 23and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience. Gospel: Matthew 13:24-30, 36-43 24He put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' 28He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29But he replied, 'No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.'" 36Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." 37He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 39and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age.41The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 42and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father.

After he left in 2006, it went passive.The Carter Page applications (17+ errors; a doctored email; a guilty plea) showed the cost.2008's Amendments Act created Section 702 — blanket categories, no named targets, a queryable database of Americans' data.Thesis: the danger isn't who builds a surveillance system — it's everyone who inherits it.EU Chat ControlTwo proposals, one name: 1.0 (temporary, voluntary) vs. 2.0 / CSAR (permanent, mandatory).26 Mar 2026: Parliament rejected the temporary rules 307–306; the derogation expired 3 April.9 Jul 2026: more MEPs voted to kill the revived scheme than keep it (reported 314–276), but rejecting the Council needed 361 votes. It survived — extended to 3 April 2028, with an E2E carve-out.The permanent CSAR could be adopted as soon as October 2026.Client-side scanning is the core danger; 500+ scientists call it infeasible; Signal would exit the EU.

#28 - Monday Minute | Nothing Happens Until You Collect the Money

Welcome to the Monday Minute – your weekly reset to lead better, think clearer, and build your independent dealership with intention.You can buy right, market well, and sell a car every day – and still run out of cash. Because nothing in this business actually happens until you collect the money. Sales are promises. Funding is real. Payments are real. Everything else is just activity until the cash hits your account.In this episode, Jeff and Luke make the case that collections is not a back-office function – it is the lifeblood of the dealership, regardless of whether you are retail, buy here pay here, or lease here pay here. Jeff breaks down why days to funding is one of the most critical metrics a retail dealer can track – do you know which lenders fund the same day and which ones drag it out four or five days while your floor plan is ticking? He walks through what buy here pay here and lease here pay here operators should be measuring every single week – promise-to-pay fulfillment, delinquency percentage, rolling charge-off rates, recovery percentage on collateral – and why the collections department deserves as much attention, resources, and intention as any other part of the store. Luke puts it in dollar terms: if your average charge-off runs $5,000 to $7,000, saving one deal a month is not a collections win. It is a profit line. And if getting deals funded one day faster saves you $100 to $200 a day in floor plan cost, that number gets very real by the end of the month.Your assignment this week: retail dealers, find out your days to funding right now – identify your fastest lenders, your slowest ones, and where the bottleneck lives in your paperwork process. Buy here pay here and lease here pay here operators, pull your collections metrics and ask whether your collector pay plan is actually aligned with the results you want. Because your team will focus wherever the compensation points them. Then ask yourself one honest question: what would saving one deal a month be worth to you? If the answer is $5,000, you already know what to do next.Review this week's Sunday newsletter at TheIndependentDealer.com for the full theme and exercises.Not subscribed yet?

Scripture First
If God is Good, Where Did All the Weeds Come From? | Matthew 13:24-30,36-43 with Dr. Chris Croghan

In this episode, we ask one of the oldest questions: If God's creation is good, where did all the weeds come from? As Jesus unpacks the parable of the weeds, we discover that the real temptation isn't simply evil in the world—it's our desire to sort out the wheat from the weeds ourselves, measuring, judging, and trying to accomplish what belongs to God alone. Instead, Christ calls us away from playing judge and into faith, reminding us that the kingdom of heaven comes not through our efforts to clean up the field, but through God's Word, which elects, preserves, and promises that the final harvest belongs to him.GOSPEL Matthew 13:24-30,36-4324 He put before them another parable: "The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, 'Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?' 28 He answered, 'An enemy has done this.' The slaves said to him, 'Then do you want us to go and gather them?' 29 But he replied, 'No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.' "36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, "Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field." 37 He answered, "The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38 the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers, 42 and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!CARE OF SOULS: DEATHIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those facing death, grief, and loss.Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.Across five episodes, the hosts tackle tough but essential questions on death:How does Lutheran theology speak uniquely to death and grief?What does faithful pastoral care look like when walking alongside those who mourn?How can pastors offer both honesty and hope in the face of tragedy and loss?What does ministry look like when death impacts the pastor as well as the congregation?Why do funerals matter, and what is God giving through them?With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the sorrow of death not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about avoiding death—it's about hearing the Gospel from the One who has passed through death and opened the way to life.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of SoulsSupport the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
