"If God is good, why does He allow so much evil in the world?" That's a question we should be prepared to answer if we assert that God is morally good - noble, virtuous, upright. So, in our final sermon in the Attributes of God series, we pivot from the subject of His greatness, to His goodness. It turns out that the Almighty is better than anyone could have imagined; and that He gives His children the power to imitate His goodness. Here's Jim to help us explore The Goodness of God.

Julie Popovich /// Part 2 /// 948 Part 2 of 2 www.TrueCrimeGarage.com The case of Julie Popovich remains a haunting chapter in central Ohio's criminal history. The murder shocked the region and some believe that the case continues to raise difficult questions about justice, public records, and the rights of people who claim they were wrongfully convicted. Julie Popovich was an aspiring young model from Reynoldsburg, Ohio. Her death in 2005 drew widespread attention, not only because of the brutality and sadness surrounding the crime, but also because of the young life that had been cut short. In the years that followed, prosecutors built a case against Adam Saleh, who was accused, tried, and ultimately convicted of Popovich's murder and kidnapping. Using the trial transcripts we present to you a case that is still much talked about in central Ohio still to this day. From behind bars, however, Adam Saleh continues to maintain that he is innocent. Saleh turned to the Ohio Innocence Project, a group based at the University of Cincinnati College of Law that investigates claims of wrongful conviction.

Researcher and writer Thomas Michael Swensen (Tangirnaq Native Village) takes music fans to the fascinating intersection of punk music and Native America in his new book, “Where Next, Columbus?: A Native Punk Mixtape“. He explores some of the unlikely places where this intersection appears, from Alaska to the Southwest to the Black Hills of South Dakota. He thoroughly dissects Native punk music, zines, videos, and art installations, examining recurring themes of individualism versus collectivism, DIY culture, and sovereignty. We'll speak with Swensen about the new book and listen to some of his favorite Native punk songs he found during his research. A new album, “Live From '81–'85“, collects live recordings from the legendary 1980s New Wave band Romeo Void, from the height of their popularity and creative power. Fronted by singer Debora Iyall (Cowlitz), the group is known for edgy, pointed lyrics and standout saxophone solos. Songs like “A Girl in Trouble (Is a Temporary Thing)” and “Never Say Never”, which was named one the 200 Best Songs of the 1980s by Rolling Stone, have been featured in movie soundtracks and the Billboard Top 40. Iyall remains active in the arts and performs as part of a new creative project. We'll speak with her about music, art, and activism. Thomas Sewell recommended Native punk tracks: Ya Tseen “Back in that Time” Bastard Fairies “Guns and Dolls” Pisswalker “Crudo y Confundido” Weedrat “Don't Tell Me” Friends of Cesar Romero “Baby Razorblades” Dead Pioneers “My Spirit Animal Ate Your Spirit Animal” Lozen “Unnatural Disaster” Break 1 Music: 500 Años (song) Los Crudos (artist) Doble LP Discografía (album) Break 2 Music: Wolastoq Song by Saqatay (song) Mawi Sakolikapuwicik Singers (artist)
Full Text of Readings Thursday of the Nineteenth Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 416 The Saint of the day is Blessed Michael J. McGivney Blessed Michael McGivney's Story The eldest son of an immigrant Irish family in Connecticut, young Michael left school at 13 to work in a brass factory making spoons. At 16 Michael J. McGivney began studies for the priesthood in Quebec, but was obliged to leave to help support the family when his father died. Michael completed his education in Baltimore, Maryland, and was ordained for the diocese of Hartford in 1877. Assigned to St. Mary's Parish in New Haven, Michael J. McGivney was very active in parish and civic affairs, serving as director of public plays and fairs. He volunteered to become the guardian of Alfred Downes, a minor whose father had died leaving a large family in poverty. This situation as well as his own family's circumstances and that of other immigrants impressed on Fr. McGivney the need for lay Catholic men to establish a mutual aid society to provide financial assistance for their families if the primary wage earner died. Protestant fraternal groups already provided this type of life insurance protection for their members. In 1882, Michael J. McGivney formed the Knights of Columbus among a small group of St. Mary's parishioners to promote charity, unity, and fraternity, assisting widows and orphans. Because of the Knights' emphasis on serving Church, community and family, the organization grew and did not remain strictly parish-based. Patriotism was added as a founding principle in 1900. Michael J. McGivney died from pneumonia in 1890 and was buried in Waterbury, Connecticut. Later his body was moved back to St. Mary's in New Haven where it remains today. He was beatified in 2020. Reflection Michael Joseph McGivney was a genuine pastor who, in the words of Pope Francis, was unafraid to share “the smell of his sheep.” He promoted families whose members were strong in their faith expressed through generous following of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. In a decree read at the beatification Mass, Pope Francis praised Fr. McGivney's “zeal and the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for his brothers and sisters.” These “made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”Saint of the Day, Copyright Franciscan Media

America's experiment in democracy was designed and launched 250 years ago—and it hasn't stopped evolving since. As our nation approaches its 250th anniversary, we reframe America's semiquincentennial not as a momentary celebration, but as a democratic handoff with a commitment to the future. Can the age-old promise of American democracy be refined, improved, nurtured, and preserved? With a panel of key thought leaders, we explore what the next era of democracy in America may demand, including ethical and corruption-free leadership, responsive institutions, stable and solid democratic norms, civic education, and redesigned systems and processes that better serve the public. Centering Ohio and Columbus as testing grounds, we ask how American communities can move from reflection to renewal—and what responsibility today's leaders and citizens have to future generations of Americans. Featuring: Robert Alt, President and CEO, The Buckeye Institute Rita McNeil Danish, Interim CEO, The Matriots Dr. Hasan Kwame Jeffries, College of Arts and Sciences Alumni Associate Professor of History, The Ohio State University The host is Lee Strang, Executive Director, Salmon P. Chase Center for Civics, Culture, and Society, and Professor of Law, Moritz College of Law, The Ohio State University. This forum was sponsored by JPMorgan Chase & Co.

Music Video for The Stairs: https://youtu.be/-9FOYTwxfcU?si=mFPQVDCKASBR1oFuLive from Wembley Stadium: https://youtu.be/N8CIBNJB2FM?si=sF_SoLZtDrzyaszvThere's a kind of loneliness that has nothing to do with being alone.You can live surrounded by hundreds—or thousands—of people, pass the same faces every day, share elevators, hallways, sidewalks and city blocks…and never truly know one another. This week on The Songs That Made Us, Gunter explores INXS' “The Stairs,” a haunting meditation on the anonymous lives unfolding around us and the strange human experience of being physically close while remaining emotionally separate.Through the song, Gunter examines the psychology of loneliness, our biological need for connection, the phenomenon of “familiar strangers,” and the surprising role architecture and urban design play in determining whether people simply pass one another—or actually meet.And more than three decades after The Stairs appeared on INXS' X, its observations may be even more relevant in a digital world that gives us unprecedented proximity while often leaving genuine human connection painfully out of reach.In This EpisodeThe story and ideas behind INXS' “The Stairs”Why loneliness can exist even when we're surrounded by peopleLoneliness as a biological signal rather than a personal failingThe evolutionary importance of human connectionThe psychology of the “familiar stranger”How urban environments can create proximity without interactionSocial infrastructure and the spaces where relationships formWhy cities designed primarily for movement can unintentionally discourage connectionPsychological overload and why we sometimes withdraw from people around usHow digital environments reproduce the same paradoxWhy The Stairs remains strikingly relevant todaySmall acts of recognition that can begin closing the distance between strangersChapter HighlightsIntroduction: The Stairs and the Loneliness of Being SurroundedINXS and the Album XThe Psychological Need to BelongSocial Overload in Urban EnvironmentsLoneliness as a Biological SignalWaiting, Recognition and the Structure of The StairsHow Urban Design Shapes Human ConnectionFrom Physical Cities to Digital LonelinessProximity Without ConnectionSmall Acts That Bridge the DistanceSharing Our Experiences of LonelinessKey TakeawaysLoneliness is a signal. Like hunger or pain, it can alert us that an important human need isn't being met.Proximity isn't the same as connection. We can encounter the same people repeatedly without ever crossing the invisible boundary between stranger and acquaintance.Our environments matter. The spaces we build can either encourage spontaneous human contact or quietly discourage it.The digital world hasn't eliminated this paradox. In some ways, it has recreated the apartment building on a global scale: millions of people occupying the same space while remaining strangers.Connection can begin remarkably small. Recognition, conversation and simple acknowledgment can interrupt anonymity.GratitudeWe want to extend a huge thank you to our listeners in Fairborn, Elyria (uh-lee-ree-uh), Columbus, Grafton, Northfield, Lorain, Ashland, and Cincinnati for keeping Ohio securely at the #2 spot on the Top 10 USA listeners list.And to our Global Listeners, we extend our gratitude to two countries reaching our top 20 list for the very first time ever!

[3:53] Justin says that shows our audience that you can have a risk career at one company. You don't need to jump around. If you're doing well, if you're comfortable, if the company's treating you right, and you're doing a good job. [4:10] Eric says the risk career came later in his life. It was the culmination of a lot of other things he did. He had a varied set of positions at Spire. Over time, it was multiple types of companies. As you go through CEOs, things change. [4:31] Eric says he was there for about five CEOs and got to see many different sides of how business operates. [4:49] Eric says he graduated from Boston College in 1990. It was a tough job market. He wanted a job on the East Coast, but it was an expensive place not to have a job. He went back home. [5:08] His stepfather had a contact at the Laclede Gas Company. He interviewed, and they offered him a position, which he took. Within two weeks, he thought he would be crazy to stay at that company more than a couple of years. He thought it was odd they had a few computers. [5:29] Eric came from a school with a library full of computers. You had to sign up to use them. It taught him to use his mind, and it instilled patience. Those elements have been valuable to Eric's career. [6:06] Eric started as a budget analyst and did that for about a year and a half, in the corporate office in downtown St. Louis. [6:33] Then he was fortunate to move to Operations to do the same sort of work with all the department heads to help them with their budgeting, to translate things from Operations into financial terms and get better relationships with the people who ran the business. [6:53] Eric says he got to understand the business better from the view of the boots on the street. [7:04] Justin asks if risk management and ERM came onto Eric's radar in August 2001, when he became the Managing Director for Strategic Planning and Corporate Development. [7:18] Eric says that he had also worked with property insurance in Treasury. There's a big commodity risk at a natural gas company. There are also market risks and credit risks. [7:33] Eric says Strategic Planning was new to The Laclede Group, taking the budget period and extending it out three years, rolling in strategy and planning. [7:49] Eric helped them to develop software for business planning, custom-made from Access, to help support the Balance Scorecard they rolled out. It included something for Initiatives for making improvements, which were tied to Metrics. [8:11] There were Action Items. There was a section where you laid out your different risks and what you were doing to mitigate them. The Action Items often required support from other areas. The software would put that into their business plan so they could see it and collaborate. [8:33] Eric says risk management and collaboration are hand-in-hand. [9:09] Eric speaks of a change in leadership, where they went from mostly looking at operational excellence and continual improvement to a more external look at other businesses, at ways to diversify within the gas industry: storage, pipeline, E&P, and more. [9:40] That was the beginning of the thought processes Eric would go through, looking at different businesses; what can go right with them, and what can go wrong. [9:57] Part of modeling acquisitions is taking a look at those scenarios and looking for the probability of a downside, what that downside looks like, and what will drive it. What has to go right to have the best case? What does the base case look like? What are those probabilities? [10:20] Eric says that was the beginning of understanding how risk and business go hand-in-hand. They can't have opportunity without risk. There's no reward without risk. Understanding that was an element of that job. [10:39] Eric was fortunate to have a tremendous boss during that time who helped him gain critical thinking about how things operate. [10:58] Eric says when they were looking at how other companies operate, they were companies within the gas industry, to stay within their knowledge base, and simplify their business, within the natural gas value chain, from wellhead to burner tip. [11:30] They were looking at exploration & production, gathering & processing, pipelines, underground storage, down to uses for it, including compressed natural gas for vehicles and local distribution utilities. [11:58] Justin suggests that the 13-year period when Eric was in Strategic Planning and Corporate Development, holding several positions, was a key time in his career. Eric says yes, and it was his favorite period. He had gone to school for investment banking and acquisitions. [12:42] Eric says, at the same time, it was a tremendous amount of work. He thought maybe it wasn't the best place to spend his lifetime because of the level of work and stress involved. [13:04] Eric was married and raising a family, and that had to come into play, as well. He says while his wife was extremely patient with him during all those times, sometimes working around the clock, he felt it wasn't the right long-term opportunity for him. [13:20] Eric says one of the things he learned when he was doing acquisitions was developing models for how utilities make money. Eric worked with people who did rate cases at the company, to understand what drove cash flow. [13:47] In doing that, Eric learned how regulations work and how tariffs work. That led to asking himself, if this isn't the right career for me, taking a look at something next to it, which was regulatory and government affairs. [14:27] Eric had already started to learn about it. Once he was in charge, he based it on Missouri regulations. The first acquisition was a company in Kansas City, Missouri. [15:05] The second acquisition was Alagasco in Alabama, and that was a completely different type of ratemaking approach that was annual. They had a formal department. Eric was asked to develop something more formal for the entire company. [15:21] Eric says then they acquired Energy South, which brought them into Mobile and also Mississippi, a third rate jurisdiction. There was a mountain of information to climb. His drive and thirst for knowledge helped him up the curve pretty quickly. [15:53] Eric says relationships and the stuff between the lines are just as important as what you can read about and study. [16:12] Eric says, pulling from his enterprise risk career, one of the impacts is not just financial, but reputation. Reputation is a huge element of rate setting. Your reputation precedes you to the commission that oversees rate case litigation and the parties to the case. [16:47] The parties that are involved include industrials, AARP, low-income groups, an energy efficiency group, and other parties. [17:01] Understanding where they're coming from, and what they're trying to achieve, and working towards something that gives all parties some of what they want, is a key element. [17:18] If you were a bad operator; if you had a significant incident that showed you weren't a safe operator, or you weren't treating your customers well, then going into the rate case, people had their minds set that they wanted to give you not a rate increase but a rate reduction. [17:40] The value of the relationships and the reputation, the stuff that is gray and in between the lines, is not just about what the numbers are but who you are as a business.

Eric says his career at a critical infrastructure utility delivering a relatively volatile product to people's homes was very safety-oriented with a lot of rules, regulations, and areas of compliance. [21:04] The whole industry faced a need to replace some of its aging infrastructure. That started when Eric was in Treasury and trying to think about how they would afford all the replacements they were going through. [21:22] It came again when Eric was in Regulatory, trying to understand the balance between safety and rates and what's best for the business and what's best for the customer. [21:53] Compliance is not something you can decide to do a little bit or a lot. You have to meet at least the minimum standards. Spire was always at that point but also found the benefit of going beyond that, to deal with it a little bit more strategically. [22:14] Spire was generally a group that looked at opportunities to do replacement in a way that overall was more cost-effective, exceeding requirements on their compliance. Compliance was an enterprise risk. [22:34] Eric says it was not just making sure they were in compliance, but also what the cost of compliance is and what if people change their minds and all of a sudden want us to do this or that? [22:53] Being a regulated utility, your rates are dependent on somebody deciding you deserve to have this. [23:02] Compliance was more often not physical replacement but putting in another pipe beside the old pipe and terminating the old cast iron pipe that had degraded and become a safety issue. [23:26] Spire always paid attention to where they were getting leaks or water potentially getting into the system and areas of geography that had similar types of risk. [23:39] Spire took a strategic approach to look at the information they were getting and figure out where to go and do wholesale changes rather than responding to risks as they popped up. [23:54] Eric says that was the approach where they took compliance and said if we do more, it probably can be better for us and better for the customer to take a better strategic approach. [24:19] Eric says it's inconvenient and sometimes problematic for people when there are workers in the street. Part of Eric's career was dealing with claims and issues that can happen with construction. The construction was necessary to make sure the system was safe. [24:53] Eric says the most prevalent claims were when they were doing excavation and hit something unmapped, like an underground dog fence or sprinkler system. To be cost-effective, they used reliable outside partners to replace these. [26:44] Eric says that every year, when he was in Strategic Planning, he would help put on a two-day conference for the Board to review company strategy and present new ideas. [27:01] Any time they found an acquisition opportunity that met the muster of the executives, they presented that to the Board. [27:!3] Eric says the Board is extremely interested in rate cases, which are the heart and soul of a utility's business. [27:28] Something Eric found helpful later in his career, doing regulatory work, was to pull together parties without overlapping interests, such as the Board and the Public Service Commission, to help them find agreement on why something was beneficial for the customers. [28:58] Eric says, for the first time or two, presenting to the Board was frightening. He was fortunate enough not to be leading the presentations. He reported to officers who helped develop the business planning and strategy. They helped Eric work his way into bigger roles. [29:32] Eric says when he became more involved in doing the modeling, one time he was called by the CEO to speak to the Board while he was on a family vacation. His wife reminds him of this. The Board was very interested in the upside case and downside case of a model scenario. [30:31] Eric says in that phone call he had to give the Board a rigorous view of why they should spend $1.1 billion on this acquisition. While exciting, Eric says presenting to the Board was a very stressful part of the job. They're relying on things that he's saying to them. [31:12] Eric says acquisitions have their own timeline and they develop however they want to. It's not like going to the grocery store to pick up something. When something pops, it pops, and it's all hands on deck. You don't stop until the job is done. [31:35] One more Quick Break!

[32:28] Susan Meltzer was a cherished RIMS President and contributed so much to RIMS and the greater risk community. Learn more at RIMS.org/FRM. [32:36] Let's Return to Our Interview with Eric Lobser! [32:52] Eric says that it seems to him that if people viewed Enterprise Risk Management more as Enterprise Value Management, they would better understand that it's more about what you need to do to improve the value of your company. [33:19] In Eric's Strategic Planning days in Corporate Acquisitions, he learned that Expected Value is about changing probabilities, not just the impact of those probabilities. [33:32] Eric says Enterprise Risk Management does a great job of addressing both the likelihood and the impact of things going wrong and things going right. What you're building with ERM is value. You're adding to the value of the company. [33:46] Eric thinks more people would engage. It would resonate with a lot of the corporate cultures to look at ERM as a way to build value for the company. [34:08] Justin says that for almost eight years, Eric was the Spire VP of ERM. Justin asks if Eric was able to hit the ground running, going from Regulatory and Government Affairs into ERM. [34:32] Eric says the position started with Insurance, and then Commodity Risk Management, other elements of the business that helped him up the learning curve. From Acquisitions, Regulatory, Operations, and Customer Service, Eric understood a lot about the business. [34:55] Eric says having a couple of years when he was in charge of Spire's Insurance program, including Captive Management, where you retain risk instead of transferring it, was a great transition to eventually getting Enterprise Risk. [35:31] Eric says he read every book he could get his hands on in the time he had. He noticed some of the things they were doing were based on ISO 31000. Eric read through ISO and COSO. COSO felt very intricate and detailed. [36:10] Eric asked himself what the potential was that we were going to adopt something. The culture of the business manages the risk. ERM oversees how the business manages risk. Eric wanted to pick a framework that fit more with Spire's corporate culture. [36:39] Eric says ISO 31000 is adjustable. He felt like it was a good fit. It was more about strategy and enterprise than Spire's focus had been. It was not just about what could go wrong and what they should be concerned about happening, but what must go right. [37:22] Eric says that looped in what he learned in Strategy, what they have to do to be successful, and what could derail them from that. Spire transitioned a little bit less away from risks and more to strategic imperatives and what they had to do to achieve their strategic vision. [38:02] Justin asks about ERM conferences and what makes a great ERM session. Eric says it's a practitioner who has lived through it with real-world experience on what works, what doesn't work, and why it didn't work. [38:18] Eric says everything's specific to the company, so what works for one may not work for another. An experienced practitioner brings a level of credibility that is important. Eric wants a presenter who focuses on what helps a company be more successful in executing its strategy. [38:41] Eric says a lot of presentations go into risk registers and software, but in the end, risk management is change management, with very complex systems. The presenter should speak to engaging the business, getting different areas to collaborate, and making better decisions. [39:31] Eric says those decisions are about how you allocate resources. Resources are limited. You can't do everything, so you prioritize. [39:41] ERM helps you to prioritize better, using a process of identification and assessment, to help you understand how important a risk is in relation to other risks, how soon it needs to be dealt with, and what level of mitigation and controls you already have in place. [40:13] Eric says, ERM helps you determine if this risk is extremely well-managed and there are resources you can take away from it to put toward a risk that's less well-mitigated. [40:22] Eric says a good ERM session presenter talks about how ERM helps a corporation make better decisions and effectuate those resource allocations that then help that company to be more successful. That's what ERM is about, and when somebody talks about that, it resonates. [41:02] Eric says when he hears a concept that really resonates with him, he tries to pull those concepts together. He has used principles from the Enterprise Risk Oversight Committee. [41:44] Justin says the Global ERM Award of Distinction call for submissions is open. You can send in those nominations now. RIMS Global ERM Award of Distinction nominations are open through Aug. 21! [41:57] Justin asks Eric what makes an Enterprise Risk Management program award-worthy. Eric says some of it is going to be based on the eye of the beholder. Enterprise Risk should be customized to the culture. People are going to view what makes a great program differently. [42:28] Eric says that the SERMC is looking for, with the diverse perspectives of the members, a program that is well-integrated into Strategic Planning, helps the business make decisions, and most importantly, helps it be more successful, with fewer downturns, than their competitors. [43:09] Eric says the business manages risk. ERM can help oversee what they're looking at and turn its attention to important things, and help determine the best ways to mitigate or treat risk, or support what they are doing, so the strategy prevents threats from derailing the company. [43:33] Eric says, in the end, a company that is consistently successful is probably the mark of a good Enterprise Risk Management program. [43:51] Justin says, we're going to see you again on November 19th and 20th in Columbus, Ohio at the RIMS ERM Conference. You can get your nominations in now for the RIMS Global ERM Award of Distinction. We'll have a special awards ceremony, like we do every year.

Is local leadership declining, even in America's fastest-growing cities? Aaron Renn sits down with Mark Barbash, a longtime economic development professional in Columbus, Ohio, to examine the quiet crisis of civic and corporate leadership. They discuss how generational change, corporate consolidation, shifting philanthropy, and a K-shaped economy are weakening the institutions that once held cities together—while headline growth continues. Using Columbus, Ohio as a case study, they explore what it will take to rebuild commitment to the common good. Topics include the decline of place-based corporate leaders, the rise of donor-advised funds, workforce and housing constraints, the limits of economic development incentives, and whether there's still a “burning platform” for meaningful change.

Think private investigation is all car chases or movie mysteries? Think again.I sit down with private investigator Scott Shepherd of Justified Investigations to pull back the curtain on what really happens behind the scenes in criminal defense cases. Forget the film noir clichés. Scott shares how his work differs from Hollywood's gumshoes and spotlights the vital, often overlooked, partnership between investigators and defense attorneys.Together, we discuss the realities of building a defense case. From sifting through mountains of discovery, to identifying overlooked witnesses, to navigating trial prep and strategy as a team. With stories from the trenches, highlighting both close calls and the methodical process behind major courtroom victories, this episode offers an unfiltered look at the investigative work that can make or break a case.Learn why the best defense is the one that leaves no stone unturned, and how collaboration, humility, and rigorous investigation give clients their best shot at justice.Moments00:00 Starting out in criminal defense06:24 Understanding confirmation bias in law06:51 Reflecting on trial lawyer ego10:45 Discussing Scott's investigative skills14:31 Old-school research paper methods18:27 Working with investigators21:26 Key witness memory issue25:13 Role during trial preparation27:31 Cross-examination with Mark Satawa32:22 Investigating witness statements34:52 Discussing client protection challenges36:23 Collaborating on client interviews41:43 Challenges of Interviewing Witnesses42:35 Approach to building trust5 Frequently Asked Questions About Private InvestigatorsWhat does a criminal defense investigator actually do? A criminal defense investigator reviews discovery, finds and interviews witnesses, analyzes police work, discovers new information, and supports attorneys in building the best defense.How is a private investigator's work different from police investigations? Police investigations aim to support prosecution and often miss alternative perspectives. Private investigators look for overlooked evidence, challenge police assumptions, and seek new witnesses to support the defense.Why is confirmation bias a risk for defense attorneys? Attorneys may assume they know every fact or interpret evidence through their own experiences. Investigators provide fresh, unbiased analysis to spot issues attorneys might miss.How do investigators handle reluctant or hostile witnesses? By approaching witnesses without being confrontational, using empathy, and explaining their neutral role, investigators can often secure valuable interviews—even when initial resistance is high.What makes a successful attorney-investigator partnership? Open collaboration, mutual respect, and a willingness to share information and discuss strategy allow investigators and attorneys to maximize their impact and prepare for every courtroom possibility.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

"If God is good, why does He allow so much evil in the world?" That's a question we should be prepared to answer if we assert that God is morally good - noble, virtuous, upright. So, in our final sermon in the Attributes of God series, we pivot from the subject of His greatness, to His goodness. It turns out that the Almighty is better than anyone could have imagined; and that He gives His children the power to imitate His goodness. Here's Jim to help us explore The Goodness of God.

Two conversations that connect the fights of the past to the fights happening right now — one tracking the policy battles shaping transportation workers today and one tracing the 200-year labor history that explains why those battles keep coming. Transportation Trades Department President Greg Regan discusses the TTD's concerns about newly confirmed TSA Administrator David Cummins, who has said collective bargaining inhibits airport security workers and plans to expand privatized screening from approximately 20 airports to 200. Regan also addresses a bipartisan bill to fix the Railroad Retirement Board's ability to pay out earned benefits to railroaders who have contributed to one of the world's healthiest pension systems and a September 30 surface transportation funding cliff that would simultaneously cut off roads, bridges, Amtrak, commuter rail and public transit funding — at a moment when Amtrak is posting record ridership and revenue as proof that infrastructure investment works. Then, Ohio AFL-CIO President Tim Burga traces Ohio's labor history through his own family story — a grandfather who survived the 1940 Willow Grove Mine explosion in Belmont County, a father who served as president of a United Steelworkers local in the 1960s and a debt he said his family owes entirely to the United Mine Workers of America and the United Steelworkers. He covers the 1890 founding of the UMWA in Columbus, William Green's authorship of Ohio's workers' compensation law and the defeat of Senate Bill 5 in 2011 by the same 62-to-38 margin that defeated right-to-work in Ohio in 1958. He closes with what the current organizing surge among young workers means for the movement's future and why getting from a successful union vote to a first contract remains the most urgent labor law reform priority.

Who is Yahweh? What is God really like, and how should knowing Him change the way we live?In this message, Pastor Greg Ford takes us into Exodus 5 and the story of Moses, Pharaoh, and the people of Israel to uncover a powerful picture of the character of God. When Pharaoh asks, “Who is Yahweh?” the question becomes a thread running throughout the story of Exodus and ultimately points us toward the heart of who God is.Through the contrast between Pharaoh and Yahweh, we see two completely different ways of viewing people, power, purpose, and leadership. Pharaoh sees people through the lens of productivity, usefulness, and what they can accomplish for him. Yahweh sees people, hears their cries, remembers His covenant, and knows them deeply.The Hebrew word “yada” helps reveal the difference. Knowing God is not simply having information about Him. It is relational. It is knowing and being known, understanding, connecting, and responding to who God has revealed Himself to be.Pastor Greg also introduces a simple framework for engaging Scripture: revelation and response. As God reveals Himself through His Word, we are invited to ask, “What am I learning about God?” and then, “How should I respond?” Scripture is not meant to simply give us more information or temporarily inspire us. God's Word is meant to lead us toward transformation.As the story of Exodus unfolds, the plagues reveal the power of Yahweh and expose the limitations of Pharaoh's power. God is not distant from human suffering. He is the God who hears the cry, sees His people, remembers His covenant, and moves toward those who are in bondage.And ultimately, the question “Who is Yahweh?” finds its fullest answer in Jesus.If you want to know what God is like, look at Jesus. He is the God who comes near, who cares, who saves, who leads us out of bondage, and who invites us not only to receive Him as Savior but to follow Him as Lord.This message challenges us to examine our own hearts. Are there places where we have developed a “Pharaoh mentality,” seeing people only for what they can do for us? Have we become hardened to what God is trying to reveal? Are we willing to respond when the Holy Spirit speaks?God hears your cry. God knows you. God sees you. And He invites you to know Him.Key Scriptures: Exodus 1–6, Exodus 5:1–2, Exodus 5:6–9, Exodus 6:6, John 14:8–9, Matthew 11:28–30Topics: Who is Yahweh, Exodus Bible study, Exodus 5, Moses and Pharaoh, knowing God, hearing God, the character of God, revelation and response, spiritual transformation, Bible teaching, Jesus as Savior and Lord, freedom from bondage, God's purpose, Christian faith, following Jesus, knowing God relationally, Old Testament, New Testament, Christian leadershipIf you've just made a decision for Christ, please respond HERE: https://www.one.church/jesusTo Support this Ministry: https://www.one.church/giveWebsite: https://www.one.church/One Church Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/onedotchurchOne Church Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/onedotchurchGreg Ford Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/gregoryafordOne Church is on a mission to ignite a movement that reaches adisconnected culture.#onechurch #gregford #purpose

Sometimes the best podcasts are the most unexpected ones, and that is what happened in our conversation with the acclaimed painter, Robin F. Williams. What began as an interview for our Issue 03 that will be out in the fall, coinciding with Williams' solo presentation with PPOW Gallery for Frieze London in October, turned into a wide-ranging conversation about serendipity, a bit of magic, a bit of cultural critique, and the solar system aligning over the skies of Columbus, Ohio in 2024. We took a journey... Williams is Ohio-born but now been based in New York for two decades, whose work often explores what they call the “low-brow, nitty-gritty, American stuff” of horror films, social media and pop-culture, but also through the influence of the past masters and European classics. In quite a rewarding experience, Williams felt a shift in their practice after a return home and the 2024 museum survey, “We've Been Expecting You” at the Columbus Museum of Art in Ohio, where the solar system aligned, literally and figuratively, and a bit of serendipity has brought new energy to the direction of the paintings…At the moment, Williams is in the final stages of completing Act Natural, a new body of work for PPOW that looks at how we confront AI and technology in our lives, and the dichotomies and contradictions in our 21st century human experience. So please, like, subscribe to Unibrow Radio, and enjoy this conversation with Evan Pricco and Robin F. Williams.

Learn the latest as Oregon voters reject an anti-hunting initiative, a $10,000 Wyoming wolf hunter bounty sparks controversy, and Ohio YouTubers are convicted in a long-running deer poaching case. Join radio hosts Rebecca Wanner aka ‘BEC' and Jeff ‘Tigger' Erhardt (Tigger & BEC) with the latest in Outdoors & Western Lifestyle News! The latest on Oregon's anti-hunting ballot measure, the $10,000 Wyoming wolf hunter bounty backlash, and the Ohio YouTubers' deer poaching convictions. These three news hunting and agriculture topics are hot! Learn why it is important to advocate for our Outdoors and Western Way of Life from ranching to farming and rodeo too. Oregon Hunting, Fishing & Agriculture Protected as Anti-Hunting Ballot Initiative Falls Short Oregon's controversial Initiative Petition 28 (IP28), also known as the PEACE Act, has failed to qualify for the November ballot after falling roughly 13,000 valid signatures short of the required threshold. The proposed measure would have removed long-standing exemptions to Oregon's animal cruelty laws, potentially criminalizing legal hunting, fishing, ranching, farming, wildlife management, and other animal-related activities. Conservation groups, agricultural organizations, sportsmen, and bipartisan state leaders strongly opposed the proposal, warning it would have far-reaching impacts on Oregon's rural communities, food production, wildlife management, and outdoor heritage. Supporters of hunting and conservation welcomed the outcome, viewing it as a victory for science-based wildlife management and responsible stewardship. Organizations including the Sportsmen's Alliance and the Oregon Hunters Association argued the measure threatened sustainable conservation programs funded by hunters and anglers, while jeopardizing livelihoods tied to agriculture and ranching. Notably, opposition to the initiative crossed political lines, with Oregon Governor Tina Kotek, Democratic legislative leaders, and Republican lawmakers all publicly rejecting the proposal. Although the initiative failed to reach the ballot, its chief petitioner acknowledged the campaign was intended to build long-term momentum for similar measures in Oregon and other states, signaling that sportsmen, agricultural producers, and conservation advocates will likely remain engaged in defending regulated hunting, fishing, and farming practices in future election cycles. Reference: https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/oregon-hunting-ban-fails/ What Is IP28? The proposal, known as the PEACE Act (Initiative Petition 28), would remove many of the legal exemptions that currently allow activities involving animals, including: Hunting, trapping, and fishing (including catch-and-release fishing) Livestock and ranching operations Some forms of pest control Certain wildlife and animal research practices The measure would also create programs intended to help Oregon transition toward what supporters describe as a "no-kill or harm" sanctuary state. Why Is It Gaining Attention? Previous versions of the proposal failed to reach the ballot in 2020 and 2022. Opponents believe this year's effort has a stronger chance because organizers have more funding and have used paid signature gatherers, which Oregon law allows. $10,000 Bounty on Wyoming Wolf Hunters Sparks Outrage A Texas social media influencer is offering a $10,000 reward for information identifying anyone who legally harvests a gray wolf from a Yellowstone pack after it leaves the national park, prompting sharp criticism from Wyoming wildlife officials and hunting advocates. Jonas Black announced the bounty on Facebook, saying he wants to identify hunters who harvest wolf 1090F or members of her pack during Wyoming's upcoming wolf season. Black also threatened to publicly expose anyone who legally tags one of the animals. The Wyoming Game and Fish Department called the offer "outrageous," saying it encourages harassment of hunters who are following state law. Wyoming protects the identities of lawful wolf hunters from public disclosure because of past threats and intimidation directed at sportsmen. Wildlife officials emphasize that while wolves are protected inside Yellowstone National Park, they can legally be hunted once they leave park boundaries in designated management areas. Biologists also note that the famous Yellowstone pack is managed like any other wolf pack under the state's science-based wildlife management plan. To protect local wolf populations, Wyoming reduced the number of wolf tags available in the affected hunting unit from eight to four this season. The season opens September 15, and successful wolf hunts remain rare, with statewide hunter success rates averaging only about 3 percent. Hunter advocates warn that publicly targeting law-abiding hunters could discourage participation in regulated wildlife management programs and put private citizens at risk of harassment or threats. Our thoughts, private hunters should not face intimidation for participating in a legal, state-managed hunting season. https://www.outdoorlife.com/conservation/bounty-wolf-hunter-identities/ Ohio YouTubers Convicted After Years-Long Deer Poaching Scheme Two Ohio YouTubers who ran the now-removed Creek Kings Outdoors channel have been sentenced after investigators uncovered a years-long deer poaching operation tied to online content and sponsorship money. William Bethel, 28, and Justin Booth, 23, admitted to 20 wildlife-related offenses each, including illegally hunting deer, trespassing, and failing to properly tag harvested animals. Investigators say the pair illegally hunted deer in Columbus-area parks where hunting is prohibited and falsely claimed some of the animals were harvested in Kentucky. According to Outdoor Life, Franklin County Wildlife Officer Mark Williams says the men were motivated by YouTube views and sponsorship deals, calling the case "wildlife commercialization with a modern twist." He says every deer featured on their channel was illegally killed or possessed in some way. The investigation began after park staff discovered bait, tree stands, and trail cameras inside Three Creeks Metro Park. Even after officials removed the equipment, the men returned, allowing investigators to identify and document their activities over the following hunting season. Williams says the case also highlights clues that can help expose illegal hunting, such as transporting an ungutted deer over long distances to conceal where it was actually killed. The two cousins were ordered to pay more than $37,000 in combined fines, fees, and court costs. They will each serve nine days in jail, lose their hunting, fishing, and trapping privileges for five years, and are banned from Columbus and Franklin County Metro Parks during that time.

Christians do not engage in "blind faith!" We believe, because God is believe-able. Faith is the rational response to a God this faithful. To open up the month of August, we'll get into some interesting discussions about both the faithfulness and the justice of Heaven, and how there might seem to be tension between those aspects of the divine nature... after we've wrapped up last week's talk on God's inescapable presence.

What does it take to pivot from selling the hottest consumer tech of the early 2000s into leading, not one but two, distilleries? Today's guest is Luis Gonzalez. We've known Luis on our first trip out to Old Elk and he forever made an impression on us. If you've ever heard Ryan say "sanity over vanity" this the guy that shared that wisdom. Luis has an interesting journey of starting in mall kiosks selling BlackBerry before making his way to executive status at OtterBox and got the call to help build Old Elk from the ground up. His next big move is now stepping into the Chief Commercial Officer role at Middle West Spirits in Columbus, Ohio after the acquisition of Old Elk. For nearly two years, Middle West has been quietly operating in custom contract distilling, aging, and bottling behind the scenes. We talk about how Luis manages massive inventory networks, maintain transparency with customers, and how to avoid the race-to-the-bottom price wars. Plus, we get into how Middle West is already distilling Old Elk's custom mash bills and what the future holds for all their brands. Show Notes: How a career-ending baseball injury led Luis from Baton Rouge to consumer tech sales at BlackBerry and OtterBox Building Old Elk from the ground up and mastering the long-term lead times required in whiskey forecasting Transitioning to Middle West Spirits as Chief Commercial Officer and managing commercial operations across multiple facilities The hidden power of contract distilling and how Middle West has quietly served the industry for nearly two years How Middle West manages inventory, warehouse operations, and custom mash bills while avoiding price wars What the transition of Old Elk mash bills to Ohio means for transparency, blending, and future releases Learn more about your ad choices.
