Where do you go when God feels distant—even though everyone says He's “with you”?In this honest episode of the Collide Podcast, we sit down with Pastor Bob Marvel to talk about the deeply personal and sometimes confusing reality of Immanuel—God with us. Bob shares about seasons when God felt hard to sense, dismantling the myth that pastors have a “fast pass” to God. Through stories, theology, and lived experience, he offers insight on God's nearness, spiritual dryness, false assumptions about faith, and how to meet God where you actually are—not where you think you should be. Whether you're longing for God, walking through doubt, or feeling spiritually hungry, this episode will remind you that God has not moved—and He is closer than you think.Meet Pastor Bob MarvelPastor Bob Marvel has served as Senior Pastor of Cornwall Church for nearly 30 years and comes from a third-generation ministry family. A passionate teacher and shepherd, Bob has helped shape countless lives through his honest, Scripture-rooted approach to faith. His life and leadership reflect a deep love for Jesus, the local church, and helping people encounter a God who is truly present.In This Episode, You'll LearnWhy God can feel distant even when Scripture promises He is nearThe myths we believe about who God is “with”—and who He isn'tWhy pastors don't have a closer connection to God than anyone elseHow Jesus revealed God's nearness to the overlooked and unlikelyWhere to look for God when you feel spiritually dry or desperatePractical ways to move toward God when you don't even know where to startHow This Episode Will Encourage YouIf you've ever felt like God must be disappointed in you, far from you, or accessible to everyone but you, this episode will gently reframe everything you think you know about His presence. You'll be reminded that God does not wait for you to get it together—He draws near right where you are, offering love, hope, and Himself.Love this episode? Partner with Us!Love what Collide is doing?

Ransomware payments may be falling, but attackers are not retreating—they are shifting their focus upstream to hypervisors, where a single compromise can undo years of layered security investment. This change fundamentally alters the risk equation for MSPs whose architectures emphasize shared infrastructure and efficiency. Lower payments reflect reduced victim capacity, not reduced attacker effectiveness, forcing adversaries to increase the impact of each successful breach. Recovery speed, architectural resilience, and catastrophic-failure planning now matter more than detection narratives.At the same time, regulators are tightening expectations around AI safety while modernization funding stalls. State attorneys general are warning major AI vendors about harmful outcomes involving minors, even as Congress allows critical federal IT modernization funding to lapse. This leaves implementers operating in environments where AI is treated as production infrastructure but lacks the controls, funding, and policy clarity required to manage risk. In these conditions, responsibility concentrates on service providers without corresponding authority.Concerns over AI transparency deepen as OpenAI's shift to a for-profit model triggers internal resignations and allegations of suppressed economic impact research. When AI vendors control both platforms and narratives, ecosystem participants lose access to inconvenient truths about displacement, quality degradation, and operational disruption. MSPs experience these impacts directly, often after automation decisions have already reshaped staffing, workflows, and customer expectations.Security vendors are responding by introducing AI governance and control-layer tools, but carefully stopping short of owning outcomes. From AI detection and response to bundled copilots, zero-trust packages, and expanded vulnerability scanning, the message is consistency and experimentation—not accountability. As AI systems move from passive tools to active decision-makers, governance becomes an ongoing service rather than a product feature. MSPs that fail to price, document, and limit decision risk will inherit liabilities they cannot automate away.

H2S gets the Hollywood treatment, and let's just say reality has some thoughts. The crew tears into how *Landman* portrays one of the oilfield's most dangerous hazards, separating legit risks from TV-level exaggeration based on real-world experience. Along the way, the conversation veers into iconic Billy Bob Thornton one-liners, unhinged family drama, and the kind of business chaos that makes the show wildly entertaining, even when it stretches the truth. Equal parts industry reality check and group chat-style commentary, it's honest, funny, and exactly how people who've actually been around the patch talk about this stuff.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Meghan Markle is back in the satirical firing line as Spitting Image mocks her As Ever marmalade as “woke,” with a Paddington-style bear warning she is “on my turf now.” Meanwhile, mixed reporting fuels the usual “are they going back” drama: one set of sources claims Meghan would only consider a UK return “for the right price,” while Rob Shuter insists she has “zero intention” of moving the children back across the Atlantic. Megyn Kelly piles on with fresh criticism of the Sussexes' post-royal branding, as commentators debate whether their Hollywood clout is fading. After the break, Queen Camilla faces a Christmas without both of her children this year, continues her long-running Buckingham Palace tree-decorating tradition for seriously ill children, and admits binge-watching Rivals helped her recover from pneumonia. Plus, new photos from Clarence House offer a rare look at the King's private world, including a prominently placed picture of Charles holding Prince George at his christening—and a reminder of how distant he remains from Archie and Lilibet.Hear our new show "Crown and Controversy: Prince Andrew" here.Check out "Palace Intrigue Presents: King WIlliam" here.

Seismic data is basically ultrasound for the Earth, and once you hear how it works, you can't unsee it. We break down how sound waves travel underground, bounce off rock layers, and come back with clues about what's hiding below, oil, gas, faults, and everything in between. From thumper trucks and geophones to how geophysicists turn squiggly lines into real decisions, this conversation keeps things simple, visual, and occasionally funny. It's a plain-English look at the science beneath our feet and how modern tools (including AI) are changing the way we explore and understand the subsurface.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

What if the birth of Jesus wasn't just a miraculous moment—but the culmination of centuries of divine orchestration? In this powerful Christmas message, we trace the extraordinary journey God set in motion long before Joseph and Mary ever traveled to Bethlehem, revealing how prophecy, politics, and the very stars aligned to bring the Messiah into the world. Discover the fascinating connection between Daniel's role as chief of the Magi in ancient Persia and the wise men who followed the Star of Bethlehem to find the newborn King. Learn how Balaam's prophecy about a star rising from Jacob, spoken over a thousand years earlier, pointed directly to Jesus' birth. We'll explore why King Herod and all of Jerusalem were deeply disturbed when the Magi arrived—and it wasn't just about a baby. This message unpacks the prophetic timeline from Micah's prophecy about Bethlehem, through Jacob's blessing over Judah, to the Roman census that moved Joseph and Mary exactly where they needed to be. You'll see how God used empires, rivalries, and even a government tax registration to fulfill His perfect plan. The birth of Jesus was no accident—it was the most carefully orchestrated event in human history. Whether you're seeking a deeper understanding of the Christmas story or wondering how God might be setting up circumstances in your own life, this message will encourage your faith and reveal the incredible sovereignty of God across time. He declares the end from the beginning—and He's not done working in your story yet either!

Today’s show was packed with big wins, big concerns, and big energy across Los Angeles. Cadillac Pasadena proved to be a major success as we looked ahead to holiday traffic patterns with Angel, breaking down what drivers should expect as the season ramps up. Investigative reporter Michael Monks joined the conversation with urgent updates on the LAPD, warning that the department could be forced to halt hiring without millions in additional funding. He also shared the heartbreaking story of a family that lost both their home and business in devastating fires, with a full deep-dive interview airing on his KFI show this Saturday night. In a surprising turn, the Los Angeles City Council moved forward with a million-dollar proposal to boost LAPD recruiting, narrowly advancing the measure in a contentious vote. And to cap it all off, Dodger Stadium is officially buzzing — the Dodgers introduced Edwin “Sugar” Díaz, setting the stage for an electric season as Timmy Trumpet and “Sweet Sugar” promise to light up Chavez Ravine. A must-listen episode blending local triumphs, hard truths, and pure LA hype.

In this episode of The Pure Property Podcast, Phil Tarrant and Paul Glossop explore the shifting landscape of Australian property investment as the market heads into 2026. They discuss the impact of government initiatives such as the 5 per cent deposit scheme and how these initiatives are influencing buyer behaviour and property values. While Treasury predicted only a modest 0.5 per cent price increase over six years, early signs suggest a more immediate market impact. The hosts caution that such initiatives may raise demand without easing the underlying supply shortage, especially as dwelling approvals decline and construction costs have dropped significantly since 2019. This environment presents both opportunities and risks for investors, particularly in the lower quartile, where growth potential remains strong. Cultural expectations around home ownership are evolving, prompting wider discussions on affordability and the role of rental markets. As 2026 approaches, investors are advised to monitor policy changes, supply constraints, and market dynamics closely to make informed decisions.

This episode includes discussion of grief, trauma, spiritual attack, and references to self-harm. It is offered for educational and spiritual purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health care. Please listen with care. Nichole Bigley welcomes clairvoyant evidential medium, shamanic practitioner, and Akashic Records navigator Jasmine Greenfield for a real conversation about the intersection of psychic sensitivity and mental health. Jasmine's intuitive abilities appeared early in childhood as unsettling spiritual encounters and unexplained sensory phenomena. Without language or support for what she was experiencing, she spent years navigating mental health interpretations and labels that didn't fully reflect the intuitive nature of her sensitivity. Everything shifted at age 29 after the sudden loss of a close friend — a moment that catalyzed a profound awakening of her psychic gifts and brought clarity to her lifelong intuitive experiences. In this episode, Nichole and Jasmine dive into: How psychic sensitivity may resemble emotional or psychological overwhelm. Jasmine's childhood spiritual encounters and early intuitive fear. The evidential mediumship that emerged after her friend's passing. How trauma, neurodivergence, and intuitive gifts can overlap. Why grounding, rest, hydration, and nervous system care matter during spiritual growth. Some ways people may need mental health support, energetic support, or both. Learn more about Jasmine's work or book a session at magickwithjasmine.com or on Facebook at Magick with Jasmine.

In this episode of Mind Pilot, Dr. Jana Price-Sharps addresses the unique friction that occurs when two "Type-A" personalities share a life.For first responders and veterans, "winning" is often a survival mechanism—but applying that same urgency to household chores can be disastrous for a relationship. Dr. Jana breaks down why you are hard-wired to win, why it's okay for your spouse to have a different opinion, and how to shift your goal from "winning the argument" to "resolving the issue." Tune in for practical advice on how to navigate the small battles—like the dishwasher and toothpaste—so you don't lose the war for your marriage.Topics CoveredLeave command presence at work: Giving orders works on the job, but it doesn't translate to a healthy partnership.Shift from winning to resolving: Winning the skirmish often means losing the war; focus on the solution, not the victory.Accept different opinions: Unless it is a life-or-death scenario, it is okay for your partner to do things differently.Gamify the small stuff: Turn petty irritations—like how to load the dishwasher—into a playful dynamic rather than a fight.Don't communicate while angry: You cannot resolve issues when you are heated; take a break to avoid unnecessary power struggles.Support the show

Lawyers are the behind-the-scenes operators who make energy projects actually happen, and Kerry McGrath broke down what that world really looks like. She's spent more than 15 years helping companies get pipelines, wind farms, mines, nuclear plants, pretty much anything that produces or moves energy, through the maze of permits, regulations, and agency sign-offs. We talked about everything from negotiating with federal regulators to dealing with endangered species rules to how legal teams keep up with new tech like carbon capture. It's a side of the industry most people never see, but it's the difference between a project idea and a project that actually gets built.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

When Hopes and Fears Collide | Eric Pickerill | Westerville Campus | December 7, 2025
Send us a textBright lights, new studio, same mission: cut through the noise and defend common sense. We kick off with a hard look at surveillance creeping into daily life through Flock cameras, AI plate readers, and jurisdiction-free data sharing that records where you drive and who you pass—often without public consent. If you've ever been told “it's just like your phone,” we unpack why that excuse fails, how these systems bypass warrants, and why local council votes matter more than national headlines when it comes to your privacy.From there, we challenge a toxic media economy that rewards outrage over outcomes. We call out big personalities who trade principles for clicks and conspiracies, turning real risks into fan fiction and eroding public trust. When every tragedy becomes a plot, communities miss the obvious failures that can be fixed, and opponents get the soundbites they need to smear the entire movement. Credibility is a strategy, not a slogan—and we show how to rebuild it.We also dive into the labor market distortions hiding behind buzzwords like “affordability.” Industries reliant on illegal labor depress wages across the board, especially in construction and agriculture, feeding the cost-of-living crisis while claiming “realism.” If you want higher pay and a stronger middle class, you need lawful hiring, strict verification, and real penalties for companies that game the system—especially those on public contracts. That's how affordability becomes more than a talking point.Across all of it, one principle stands out: consent. Surveillance without consent undermines liberty; discourse without standards undermines trust; labor without law undermines prosperity. We lay out concrete steps to fight back locally—demand contract transparency, question data retention, push for public votes, and organize neighbors before these programs harden into permanent infrastructure. If you're ready for results over rhetoric, hit play, subscribe, and share this with someone who needs a practical plan, not another hot take. Then tell us: where should your city draw the line?Support the show

December 4, 2025: In today's episode of Future Ready Today, I break down six major stories shaping the future of work.

Featuring: Emma Levine, MD, University of Chicago MedicineThe GI Research Foundation was able to produce this podcast with a sponsorship from Metro Infusion Center.In this episode, Dr. Levine, a current fellow with The University of Chicago Gastroenterology, Hepatology and Nutrition Fellowship training program, shares her 2025 GI Research Foundation Young Investigator Awards study on the reciprocal relationship between sleep and inflammation in IBD. We talk about why poor sleep is so common in people with IBD and how it can worsen disease activity—even when symptoms seem under control. Dr. Levine explains how her team is using metabolomics to uncover biomarkers that link sleep and inflammation, and why mindfulness-based approaches like yoga nidra and gut-directed hypnotherapy could be game-changers. It's a fascinating look at how improving sleep might become a safe, non-drug strategy to help manage IBD.To access other episodes of Visceral: Listen to Your Gut and learn more about the GI Research Foundation's support of clinical and laboratory research to treat, prevent, and cure digestive diseases, please visit https://www.giresearchfoundation.org/.Available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and everywhere else you listen.

Every healthcare organization operates within a web ofoverlapping experience maps, including clinical, administrative, payer, patient, and policy maps. These maps shape every decision, workflow, and outcome. In healthcare, a customer experience (CX) map traces the steps, systems, and emotions that patients, clinicians, and staff move through as care is delivered and supported. Each map makes sense on its own, but the real complexity begins where they overlap. Most improvement efforts focus on a single map, yet few consider how these maps interact or depend on one another.

In this episode, we'll dive into the complicated topic of "When Policy Limits Collide - Navigating Mental Nervous and Musculoskeletal Conditions in Long-Term Disability Claims."Most people think a Long-Term Disability claim is decided by the diagnosis alone - that if you're struggling with a mental health condition, chronic pain, or cognitive impairment, your insurer should simply recognize it. But LTD claims hinge on far more than the condition itself. Carriers scrutinize how your symptoms affect daily functioning, the consistency of your treatment, and how your providers document limitations. Even then, many claims get funneled into restrictive policy clauses that quietly cap benefits at two years. In this episode, we break down the medical side of LTD claims involving mental nervous and musculoskeletal limitations - an area full of misconceptions and insurer tactics that can derail legitimate claims. We start with caregiving responsibilities and daily activities, and how routine tasks can be used to undermine a mental nervous claim. Then we explore the blurry divide between physical and psychological impairments, using post-concussive syndrome to show how insurers reclassify conditions to fit benefit caps. Finally, we examine musculoskeletal limitations and how vague policy language lets carriers argue that chronic pain, spine conditions, or soft-tissue injuries don't qualify for ongoing benefits. By the end, you'll see why navigating these claims requires more than treatment - it demands precise documentation, strategic communication, and a clear understanding of how insurers evaluate evidence. This episode gives you the tools to protect your benefits and anticipate the carrier's playbook.In this episode, we'll cover the following topics:One - How Taking Care of Your Spouse Can Destroy Your Mental Nervous Disability ClaimTwo - When Physical Injuries Get Reclassified as Mental DisordersThree - The Hidden Risk of the Musculoskeletal Disorder LimitationWhether you're a claimant, or simply seeking valuable insights into the disability claims landscape, this episode provides essential guidance to help you succeed in your journey.

Sermon by Bryce Kittinger on Sunday, November 30th at Chenal Valley Church.
The room is loud, the board is hot, and we jump straight from jokes into headlines that actually matter. After quick birthday shoutouts and platform chaos, we sit with the gut-punch news of a young NFL player gone too soon and talk openly about grief, pressure, and the reality that success can't insulate anyone from mental health struggles. It's unfiltered, empathetic, and a needed reminder to check on the friends who seem fine.Then we zoom out to the money and mobility stress you can feel: FAA flight cuts, airlines trimming 2025 schedules, and a spirited debate over budget vs legacy carriers. Add a SNAP shortfall during a government freeze and you get real-world choices at the checkout line. We share a clutch Aldi Thanksgiving bundle and swap smart-shopping tactics because sometimes the most helpful content is just concrete. A UPS cargo crash and a Ferris wheel malfunction prompt tough questions on safety and responsibility, while a disturbing crime story sparks hard, human reactions.In the segment everyone argues about, we put a tricky question to the room: a stranger accidentally Cash Apps you $1,000 and begs for it back. Keep it or return it? The takes range from karma to “blessing,” exposing how our values, needs, and risk tolerance show up in the gray areas. That debate sets the stage for the heart of the show: seasonal affective disorder explained in plain speech—serotonin dips, carb cravings, oversleeping, irritability—and simple tools that help. We trade coping rituals that actually work: sunlight and vitamin D, consistent sleep, baths and hot showers, running with music, cooking, cleaning, prayer and gospel, a therapy lamp, and staying connected when isolation feels easier. And we make the lifeline unforgettable: call or text 988, or chat at 988lifeline.org.We wrap with our “Words of the Week” to stretch the vocabulary you use to describe your mood—ataraxia for calm, ineffable for the unsayable—then flip mics for freestyles and an unreleased track. It's funny, heavy, useful, and very human. If this mix hits you, follow and share with a friend who needs the coping tips. Drop your take on the Cash App dilemma and your best winter ritual, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the showFollow us on social media www.instagram.com/noadvisorypod

Chuck, Matt, Gates, and Boar got together to unpack “Landman” Season 2, Episode 2, and it turned into the perfect mix of oilfield therapy session and comedy hour, calling out the ridiculous drilling logic, roasting Cooper's disastrous money moves, and laughing through the show's dramatic family moments. They riff on everything from cartoon-level oilfield economics to cartel side hustles and legal chaos, plus one absolutely unhinged analogy comparing modern extraction to a Whataburger milkshake. And of course, the infamous “sins of the father” moment sparks plenty of debate.

Michael and Buck broke down how well search and automated regulatory workflows are already helping small, lean production teams move faster. Instead of digging through PDFs, Buck can pull a full well history in seconds, and he sees the next big win as using AI for diagnostics, spotting trends, suggesting likely issues, and helping pumpers focus on what actually matters. They also talked about the huge amount of tribal knowledge stuck in people's heads and how tools like transcripts and voice-to-text can finally capture it so newer hands aren't starting from scratch.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Aurian Norouzi from Kraken Oil and Nick Smart from Collide break down how Kraken is using AI to replace some of the most time-draining midstream and commercial workflows, from digging through gas contracts to analyzing acreage dedications. They walk through real examples like automating North Dakota stripper-well filings, speeding up third-party forecasting with GIS data, and mapping contract dedications directly in Collide. A quick look at how AI is cutting manual work, reducing friction, and helping teams move way faster.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Continental Resources' John Argo sat down with us to talk about how AI can materially improve safety and performance in the oilfield, starting with the Lifesaver Initiative, a collaboration between multiple operators and workover companies to use AI and shared incident data to surface well- and job-specific risks before crews ever step on location. Drawing on his own path from first-generation oilfield kid to leading Continental's Williston Basin, John connected the dots between the shale revolution (where U.S. production wildly outperformed every forecast), our still-low recovery factors (often under 20%), and the massive upside in using AI to capture tribal knowledge, diagnose problems faster, and turn scattered data into actionable frontline insight. He closed by tying it back to the culture that built Continental in the first place, embodied by Harold Hamm mapping wells at night from library logs and made the case that AI is the next big lever for the same mindset: more energy, safer operations, and better use of the resources we already have.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Canisius and Bill dug into the whole on-prem vs cloud debate through the lens of AI, pointing out that massive compute needs and generative models pretty much force serious work into the cloud, with most operators moving to a hybrid setup rather than pure on-prem or multi-cloud. They spent a lot of time on trust, encryption, and data ownership, stressing that customer data stays isolated, is not used to train models unless you opt in, and that Microsoft's job is to be the secure, scalable platform while companies like Collide handle the oil and gas specific workflows and “last mile” value. They also hit on why “we already have Azure and Copilot” is not the same as having a purpose-built solution, why a single-cloud plus good governance usually beats juggling multiple hyperscalers, and closed with a look ahead to a world where agents manage other agents and AI is wired into everyday work across legal, operations, and the field.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

John and Bobby broke down how RAG actually works and why the real battle isn't the LLM, it's the chaos sitting in PDFs, Excel files, post-job reports, random folder structures, and handwritten scans. They showed how extraction, chunking, and embeddings fall apart when data is messy, and why clean structure, good metadata, and consistent organization matter way more than people want to admit. They also hit on how tools like MCP and text-to-SQL let AI pull from WellView, production systems, and databases in one place, instead of everyone living in 20 different apps. The takeaway was simple: AI gets powerful fast when the data is ready, but if the inputs are junk, you'll just get faster junk back.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.

Todd broke down how we're actually getting real ROI out of AI instead of chasing buzzwords, starting with the simple idea that domain expertise and clear value beats any hype cycle. He walked through the three places AI moves the needle G&A, capital, and risk and safety showing how agents can take over the daily grind like SCADA alert triage, revenue statements, AFEs, regulatory filings, and even capturing tribal knowledge before it walks out the door. He explained how Collide sits above systems like Quorum, WellView, SCADA, and accounting so teams can query everything in one place and see how a single well status change ripples across leases, contracts, and compliance. Regulatory use cases are exploding W-10s, injectors, flaring permits, methane reporting and mapping is becoming a key layer using tools like Mapbox. On the non-op side, the team is already extracting revenue statements and AFEs, pushing data into Aries and accounting, and setting up real ROI analysis for OBO partners. The takeaway start small, prove the value, then expand into a stack of agents that quietly take on the busywork so teams can focus on decisions that matter.Click here to watch a video of this episode.Join the conversation shaping the future of energy.Collide is the community where oil & gas professionals connect, share insights, and solve real-world problems together.
