In today's podcast Paul has a conversation with Gavin Willis of the Washington Red Raspberry Commission. Most of the frozen raspberries grown in the US comes from Whatcom County in Washington state due to the unique soil conditions and weather. These growers are facing issues related to labor and foreign competition but are very resilient. It can cost upwards of $50,000 to put in an acre of raspberries and mother nature does not always cooperate. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Listen to the full episode Influential right-wing pundit turned celebrity conspiracy-peddler, Candace Owens, just visited Russia for the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum. While at “Russia's Davos” she marvelled at the cleanliness and beauty of Moscow, explained that Americans were never given any real reason why Putin invading Ukraine was bad, and deflected questions about her potential presidential run. She's not alone. MAGA has increasingly found a warm place in its heart for Vladimir Putin and other strongman dictator-types (like Viktor Orban). Owens rubbed shoulders with accused sex traffickers, the Tate Brothers, fake martial artist and aging film star, Steven Segall, Trump's head of the Commission of Fine Arts, and representatives of the Taliban, North Korea, Iran, and China. In this reimagining of Russia—the same “evil empire” of GOP patron saint, Ronald Reagan—the post-Soviet dictatorship is poo-pooed as a danger to European democracies by a growing cadre on the right. Figures like Owens, Tucker Carlson, Megyn Kelly, Tim Pool, Nick Fuentes, and Marjorie Taylor Green all oppose US support for Ukraine and involvement in the war in Iran. In another interesting turn, they now also all oppose US support for Israel—which makes for some strange diagonalist bedfellows with certain figures on the left, like Hasan Piker.  Julian unpacks this story. Stay tuned for claims that Carlson and Green have been less harmful to Gaza than Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, as well as for erstwhile left-wing pundit Ana Kasparian's come-to-Jesus moment on Owens' show.

C dans l'air du 15 juin 2026 - Trump : un anniversaire... et un accord de paix !Les États-Unis et l'Iran ont annoncé dimanche 14 juin avoir trouvé le cadre d'un accord pour mettre fin à la guerre sur tous les fronts au Moyen-Orient, avec une cérémonie de signature prévue vendredi prochain à Genève, avant des pourparlers de 60 jours plus précis et techniques sur les sujets qui fâchent.Pour le moment, le document sur lequel se sont entendus Washington et Téhéran n'a pas été rendu public. Donald Trump a néanmoins promis sur son réseau Truth Social la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz dès vendredi.« J'autorise pleinement la réouverture du détroit d'Ormuz sans droits de passage et, parallèlement, la levée immédiate du blocus naval américain. Navires du monde entier, mettez vos moteurs en marche ! Que le pétrole coule à flots ! », a écrit le président des États-Unis, ajoutant que cette ouverture interviendra « dès la signature de l'accord vendredi afin de permettre le déminage ».En fin de matinée, ce lundi, l'agence iranienne Fars a néanmoins indiqué que l'Iran a ajouté au dernier moment des négociations une clause prévoyant l'imposition de redevances pour les services maritimes dans le détroit d'Ormuz.Alors, que contient cet accord-cadre ? Ce passage stratégique, par où transite d'ordinaire un cinquième du pétrole brut mondial, va-t-il réellement rouvrir ? Dans quelles conditions ? Y aura-t-il un péage ?Si les conditions précises de ce protocole d'accord ne sont pas encore connues, l'éventualité d'une possible reprise du transit dans le détroit a entraîné une chute des cours de l'or noir et une avalanche de réactions. La vice-présidente de la Commission européenne et haute représentante de l'Union européenne pour les Affaires étrangères, Kaja Kallas, a salué prudemment une « avancée potentielle ».Depuis Évian-les-Bains, où s'ouvre ce lundi le sommet du G7, Emmanuel Macron a de son côté affirmé « qu'il faut tout faire pour mettre en œuvre cet accord ». La mission maritime internationale mise en place par la France et le Royaume-Uni est « prête à accompagner » sa réouverture. Si cela se confirme, le Charles-de-Gaulle ne mettrait que « deux ou trois jours » à se rendre à Ormuz, a assuré le président.Le président de la République a aussi dit vouloir « une discussion respectueuse mais ferme » avec Donald Trump, qui, ces dernières heures, a de nouveau menacé d'imposer des droits de douane de 100 % sur le vin français si Paris ne supprime pas sa taxe sur les services numériques.Parallèlement, l'administration américaine a décidé d'interdire l'utilisation des deux modèles d'IA les plus récents d'Anthropic à « tout ressortissant étranger », provoquant un coup de tonnerre sur les deux rives de l'Atlantique.Le chef de l'État va s'entretenir avec son homologue américain ce lundi. Un président des États-Unis qui devrait apparaître revigoré par cet accord avec l'Iran, annoncé au soir de sa fête d'anniversaire.Pour ses 80 ans, Donald Trump a transformé dimanche la pelouse de la Maison Blanche en arène pour des athlètes de MMA. Le spectacle s'est déroulé devant 4 000 invités triés sur le volet, installés autour de la cage, dont l'incontournable Mark Zuckerberg, PDG de Meta, ou David Ellison, patron de Paramount.Quelque 100 000 spectateurs s'étaient par ailleurs massés dans un parc adjacent pour suivre les combats sur écran géant et écouter les hommages au président rendus par certains vainqueurs, gladiateurs des temps modernes.

There were 12 original, hand-picked disciples of Jesus until Judas died by suicide. After he died, Peter said, “Boys, there has to be 12 so we need to fill this vacancy!” So they chose two men who met the qualifications to be an apostle, “they had to be with Jesus from the beginning when he started his ministry and they had to witness his resurrection.” Mathias was chosen to replace Judas by casting lots. Guess who wasn't there?!?! The man who was persecuting these Jesus followers—Saul who later became Paul! So there is a good reason for the people to question his authority...or is it? Paul saw Jesus and was commissioned by him to take the gospel to the Gentiles, and just like the original disciples, Paul was confirming his message with miracles. Yet, Paul continued to humble himself in order to win others to Christ!

Ralph talks to journalist and M.Div. Chris Hedges about Pope Leo XIV's encyclical on artificial intelligence. Then, Ralph speaks with Rick Engler (former member of the US Chemical Safety and Hazards Investigation Board) about Trump's proposed closing of that agency. Finally, Ralph pays tribute to some recently departed friends.Chris Hedges is a Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist, who spent nearly two decades as a foreign correspondent in Central America, the Middle East, Africa and the Balkans. He is the host of The Chris Hedges Report, and he is a prolific author— his latest book is A Genocide Foretold: Reporting on Survival and Resistance in Occupied Palestine.I think that Pope Leo kind of missed the point of AI. In that he describes that it could be a positive force for Catholic education (these are his words), compassionate health care, creative platforms that tell the Christian story with truth and beauty. I think those were all indications to me that he didn't quite understand what AI is about. It's not about education, it's not about compassion, it's not about truth, and it's not about beauty. It is a very pernicious force that will go beyond, of course, replacing all sorts of labor, but creating a world where fact and fiction are blurred together.Chris HedgesI think that mass organization is kind of all we have left as we barrel towards an authoritarian state. Congress doesn't function, certainly doesn't function as Congress was designed to function. They have surrendered their traditional constitutional authority, including, of course, the call for Congress to declare war. And this kind of unitary executive branch—this was put into place, by the way, before Trump. He's just taken advantage of it…And I think that it's absolutely fundamental that we recapture that kind of militancy, that kind of organized workforce that has traditionally throughout our history been such an important corrective to democracy—along with, of course, journalism.Chris HedgesRick Engler is a former U.S. Chemical Safety and Hazard Investigation Board member and labor advocate who founded the New Jersey Work Environment Council. He has advocated for successful landmark state and national public policies that ensure workers and the public's “right to know” about potential chemical dangers, and that promote safer processes, chemical incident prevention, and whistleblower protection.The CSB is unique. I mean, nobody would think of abolishing the National Transportation Safety Board. And no one should think about abolishing the Chemical Safety Board, which does the same thing. It's not about issuing, in this case, fines or violations. It's about trying to understand the underlying causes of what led to these incidents.Rick Engler[Trump's allies] have a certain religious fervor about this. When I talk to plant managers, the plant managers of the corporations are much more careful and nuanced in most cases. They don't want their own plants to explode. But somewhere at the higher corporate levels, I think they're just willing to take the risks that the tradeoff for them is: Trump is supporting them in so many ways, why interfere? Why become part of some nuanced opposition to the most extreme EPA attacks? But I do think the elimination of the CSB is driven by the Trump administration in a way that wouldn't be happening if it was just left to the chemical industry trade associations alone. I'm not sure that's an adequate answer. I'm actually kind of puzzled by it. Because it's also really clear that if there was any one major incident, it would cost so much money—not only in the human tragedy of the lives lost and neighbors harmed and evacuations and shelter-in-place and property damage, but these incidents destroy facilities.Rick EnglerNews 6/12/26* Our top stories this week come to us from California, where, after an excruciatingly protracted wait, authorities have finally called some of the most high-profile races. In Los Angeles, Democratic Socialist City Councilwoman Nithya Raman has secured the second slot in the mayoral race, beating out reactionary former reality television star Spencer Pratt, PBS reports. Pratt garnered significant attention from conservative media for his slick AI-generated ads and his false claims about living in an airstream trailer after his LA home burned down in the recent fires. In actuality, he was living in the posh Bel Air hotel, billed as a campaign expense, per TMZ. Now the question becomes whether or not Raman will be able to expand her coalition to unseat incumbent Mayor Karen Bass in November.* If Raman's victory is the good news however, the bad news is that Trump-endorsed Republican Steve Hilton will advance in the gubernatorial race. He will face off against former California Attorney General and Secretary of Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra, who has accepted large campaign contributions from the California Association of Realtors, the California Medical Association and even Chevron, per CalMatters. This outcome means progressive billionaire Tom Steyer will not advance. Many are placing the blame for this on former Congresswoman Katie Porter, who remained in the race despite clearly failing to achieve any real viability throughout the race. This has drawn comparisons to Elizabeth Warren's perceived role as a spoiler candidate vis-a-vis Bernie Sanders in the 2020 Democratic Primary, particularly since Porter is a highly visible protégé of Senator Warren. In his concession speech, Steyer closed by telling his supporters “Pay attention. Know what you deserve, and know who is on your side. Understand who the villains are, and say their names out loud. Continue to demand more from your leaders and your government, until they give you the California – and the country – you know you deserve. I will be with you all the way.”* Elsewhere in California however, progressives scored major victories. In California's 22nd congressional district, Bernie Sanders-backed Randy Villegas secured a spot in the top two, beating out his opponent Jasmine Bains, who enjoyed the backing of AIPAC and 53 corporate donors, according to the American Prospect. He will face Republican incumbent Congressman David Valadao in November. Even more impressive is the victory of progressive challenger Mai Vang in California's 7th district primary, where she actually emerged as the top vote getter, beating out longtime incumbent Congresswoman Doris Matsui. However, because Matsui, who is 81 years old, won the second-most votes, she will still advance to the general election.* Another much-anticipated primary was held this week on the exact other end of the country. In Maine, Graham Platner trounced his opponents in the Democratic Senate race, winning over 70% of the vote despite a concerted campaign against him in the national press. In his victory speech, CNN reports Platner wrote off the smears, saying “They don't know Maine.” Furthermore, he said “If you believe, as I do, that we can change our politics, and change our country, then you must also believe that people can change…To all those who feel let down, disappointed, or disillusioned. It is my job to earn your trust, your faith, and your support. And I will spend every day of this campaign, and if I have the privilege, every day in the United States Senate, doing exactly that.” Platner will face off against five-term incumbent Senator Susan Collins in a race that will be decisive if Democrats are to have any chance of retaking the Senate in the 2026 midterms.* Turning towards the plains, two candidates are starting to show a surprising level of viability in heavily Republican, rural states. First, in Idaho, Todd Achilles is running as an independent against Republican incumbent Senator Jim Risch. Achilles served as a tank commander and armor officer in the Army before a varied career in the corporate world, education and now politics, according to Independent Voter News. The most striking development in this race is a new poll showing that while “Achilles starts out…behind by 14 points at 48-34…once voters hear biographical information about him and negative messaging about Senator Risch, he gains a full 17 points…[leading] Risch, 41% to 38%.” If accurate, this would be a stunningly close race in a state where registered Republicans outnumber registered Democrats by a margin greater than 5-to-1.* In South Dakota, Brian Bengs, another veteran turned educator – turned, in this case, National Park Ranger – is running shockingly close to incumbent Republican Senator Mike Rounds in a head-to-head matchup. According to the South Dakota Standard, the latest polling shows Rounds leading Bengs 44% to 40%, with 16% undecided. Moreover, like the Achilles poll, when voters are given biographical information about Bengs and negative messaging about Senator Rounds, that margin flips to 44% in favor of Bengs, compared to just 42% for Rounds. If these polls are accurate and independent candidates – not just Achilles and Bengs but also Dan Osborn in Nebraska and Seth Bodnar in Montana – prove viable, perhaps even victorious, in states long seen as out of reach for non-Republicans, there will have to be a serious reckoning with the toxicity of the Democratic Party brand in the American heartland.* In Michigan, progressive candidate Abdul El-Sayed has picked up perhaps the most critical possible endorsement in the state: that of the United Auto Workers. In a statement, the union wrote that “UAW members in Michigan want a fighter in Washington, D.C. who isn't afraid to push forward a strong working-class agenda with moral clarity…From Medicare for All to banning stock buybacks, Dr. Abdul El-Sayed is ready, eager, and well-equipped to move our core issues in the U.S. Senate.” Whether because of this endorsement or not, El-Sayed now seems to be in the driver's seat in this primary. This endorsement dovetails with UAW President Shawn Fain's rumored frustration with the mainstream labor movement for not doing more to back labor candidates, such as Clare Valdez in New York, who was a UAW organizer before entering the State Assembly.* On the House floor meanwhile, lame-duck dissident Republican Congressman Thomas Massie delivered a barn-burner of a speech this week, demanding that the government reopen the investigation into the 1967 Israeli attack on the USS Liberty, Al Jazeera reports. The attack on the Liberty, a US Navy vessel, killed 34 service members and injured 171 others. For decades, Israel has claimed that this was nothing more than an accidental incident of friendly fire, but the surviving veterans have long disputed this explanation, contending that it was a deliberate attack, either as a “false flag operation or because they simply didn't want anybody observing what they were doing that day.” Massie called on the House to “give them closure…It's long overdue. And then they can have their justice.”* Looking to Latin America, the presidential election in Peru is, predictably, coming down to a razor thin margin, WLRN reports. This race, between left-wing Senator Roberto Sánchez and Keiko Fujimori, perennial presidential candidate and daughter of former dictator Alberto Fujimori, currently stands at 50.004% for Fujimori and 49.996% for Sánchez, with 98.258% of the votes tabulated. Sánchez was favored to win after the in-country votes were counted, then Fujimori pulled ahead when the votes from Miami came in, other absentee votes eroded that margin and gave Sánchez the edge once again but Fujimori has yet again pulled ahead by a hair. This is Fujimori's fourth presidential campaign, making it to the runoff each time but ultimately losing by the narrowest of margins.* Finally, in Colombia, Progressive International reports that while Colombian President Gustavo Petro presides at the United Nations Security Council, “conservative forces in the country's legislature have conspired against the constitution to ‘SUSPEND' his presidency — just 11 days from the run-off presidential election.” While Reuters adds that the proposal must be “debated and approved by all ‌16 ⁠members of the [legislative Commission of Investigation and ​Accusation] and subsequently by the Senate before it can take effect,” it is hard to see this as anything besides an opportunistic grab for power while the proverbial cat is away. Petro's four-year term ends in August; the runoff in the presidential election, between leftist Ivan Cepeda and right-wing lawyer Abelardo ​De La Espriella, will be held on ​June 21st.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

"Until immunomodulators, patients [with myeloma] did not have a great overall survival rate. But when we introduced lenalidomide, we started seeing our patients have life expectancies between five and seven years—which was unheard of prior to these immunomodulators going forward. I think it's promising and allows patients to have quality of life versus therapy of life," ONS member Daniel Verina, DNP, RN, ACNP-BC, nurse practitioner for the multiple myeloma program at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York, NY, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, BMTCN®, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about immunomodulators.

Highlights From This Episode "We definitely want the diagnosis of multiple myeloma before initiating these drugs. We're going to look at serum protein electrophoresis. We want to make sure that we know the patient has serum free light chains and myeloma proteins to really confirm their disease. Plus, a bone marrow biopsy." TS 7:21 "Each immunomodulator has slightly different side effects. Thalidomide's biggest side effects are constipation, weakness, fatigue, somnolence, peripheral neuropathy, mood swings, hand tremors, and depression. With each generation, less of the side effects actually occurred. Most of lenalidomide's side effects, not discounting the deep vein thrombosis, are pancytopenia—the neutropenia, the anemia, and the thrombocytopenia. [The side effects] are very similar in pomalidomide." TS 15:40 "The REMS program is critical for oral immunomodulator therapies—thalidomide, pomalidomide, and lenalidomide. It was developed due to the risk of developing embryofetal toxicities. ... It is mandatory testing and counseling, so all females of reproductive potential must have two negative pregnancy tests prior to starting the therapy and then monthly pregnancy tests while on the therapy alone. Again, they must use two forms of effective contraceptives or abstain from heterosexual sex four weeks prior, during, and after. And the same thing for men. I focus on that because males may say, 'I have a vasectomy.' These therapies tend to bind to the semen. So, males must still use a latex or synthetic condom during any sexual contact with a female of reproductive potential, even if they did have a vasectomy." TS 18:31 "The capsule itself cannot be chewed, crushed, or opened. I bring that up because as healthcare professionals, we have educated our patients. If it's difficult to swallow capsules or tablets, we've always said to them, 'Oh, don't worry, just crush it into applesauce or open it up and sprinkle it on your mashed potatoes.' But because of this embryofetal toxicity, I advise my patients not to open the capsule. If they can't swallow it for any reason, they have a sore throat or they're just unable to, then [we tell them] to hold the therapy and then call us." TS 22:49 "We spoke about three generations already, but there's actually a fourth generation [of immunomodulators]. They're called cereblon E3 ligase modulators(CELMoDs). They're still in clinical trials but really showing promise in the therapy of myeloma. They're showing very good affinity to cereblons, just like the immunomodulators do. I think, in all cancer therapies, as newer generations come out or newer therapies move forward, some of the older generations might move aside, but they get integrated later on. So I don't think [immunomodulators] will disappear totally, but they will probably be modified." TS 36:39

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with client strategist Amadeus Huff to cover a wide range of topics that wind their way from the nuts and bolts of recruiting and payment models to the rapidly shifting landscape of AI adoption in business. The two dig into how AI tools are reshaping client success roles, the murky territory of recording laws and privacy in a globalized world, the geopolitical implications of oil supply chains, sanctions, and the rise of domestic tech ecosystems in countries like Russia and Argentina, and what all of this means for the future of human connection and the nation-state. Amadeus closes on an optimistic note, arguing that as AI takes over bureaucratic busywork and erodes trust online, people will increasingly hunger for genuine human relationships and third spaces. You can connect with Amadeus Huff on LinkedIn.Timestamps00:00 - Stewart introduces Amadeus Huff, diving into recruiting as building connections between job seekers and employers with minimal variance.05:00 - Amadeus discusses AI adoption pitfalls, comparing aggressive growth strategies to Amazon's early model, questioning whether tools deliver promised results.10:00 - Conversation shifts to AI notetaking versus human perception, exploring probabilistic interpretation differences between humans and machines.15:00 - Recording consent laws debated across states, touching on Waymo surveillance, Uber data collection, and public versus private space definitions.20:00 - Global privacy landscape examined, covering Swiss banking secrecy erosion, ProtonMail's departure, and RISC-V semiconductor development escaping US jurisdiction.25:00 - Sanctions creating domestic innovation ecosystems discussed through Russia's example, paralleling Argentina's emerging commerce evolution.29:00 - Closing reflections on AI replacing bureaucracy while preserving human purpose, optimism about meaningful work and deeper personal connections emerging.Key Insights1. Recruiting is fundamentally about reducing variance between what job seekers want and what employers offer. The most ethical payment models in recruiting are tied to proven success, such as waiting three months to confirm a hire is working out, rather than collecting fees the moment a contract is signed.2. Business thinking has shifted from shareholder value to stakeholder value, meaning companies now consider the wellbeing of employees, families, and communities, not just stock price. This shift is accelerating due to AI overpromising and underdelivering, making value-based measurement more important.3. AI is most useful when it handles administrative tasks that provide no direct value to customers, such as transcribing meetings and populating CRM systems. This frees up workers to focus on meaningful relationship-building and intellectual work rather than bureaucratic busywork.4. There is an important distinction between recorded and unrecorded conversation in professional settings. Building trust through informal off-the-record dialogue before switching on a transcription tool creates clearer boundaries and stronger relationships with clients.5. Sanctions tend to follow a bell curve of effectiveness. Over time they force sanctioned countries to build domestic alternatives, which gain adoption and loyalty, ultimately reducing the influence of the original foreign companies once sanctions lift.6. AI is degrading trust in online information to the point where people will increasingly crave authentic human connection, physical gathering spaces, live experiences, and real relationships rather than algorithmically generated content.7. AI is quietly improving intergenerational relationships by removing codependency. When elderly parents learn to use AI for technical help, their calls to family members shift from problem-solving to genuine connection, which strengthens the relationship.

Did Jesus' prophecy in Matthew 24 find its fulfillment in the destruction of Jerusalem in A.D. 70?In this final installment of his Olivet Discourse series, Matt Plett walks through the major themes of Matthew 24, the fall of Jerusalem, the end of the old covenant age, and the victorious reign of Christ.

In episode 268, Josh, Chris, and Mark break down the Federal Communications Commission's newly published proposed rule changes to the E‑Rate program. The conversation explains the scope of the public comment period, where the proposals came from, and what districts, consortia, and vendors should watch for over the coming months. The guys discuss what services could be removed from E‑Rate eligibility, the FCC's questions about screen time, CIPA filtering expectations, and how the Commission is reexamining the program's original connectivity goals.

Send us Fan Mail"Our Mission Mandate as ChristiansI. Introduction: The Core Nature of ChristianityThe Thesis: Christianity is inherently and fundamentally a missionary religion designed to convert others to faith in Jesus Christ. The Defect of Passive Faith: Any form of Christianity that does not actively bear witness to Jesus is explicitly labeled as defective, as the Bible strictly mandates this lifestyle. II. The Historical and Physical Proof of the ResurrectionThe Core Event: The mandate is rooted in historical reality: Jesus was crucified, buried, and physically raised from the dead 2,000 years ago in Jerusalem. Tangible Evidence over Isolation: * Jesus did not appear to just one person or in secret; he repeatedly manifested to groups of disciples (ranging from 8, 10, to 11 at a time). He proved his physical, bodily resurrection by speaking, allowing disciples to touch his wounds, and physically eating broiled fish. The 40-Day Instruction Period: Jesus spent 40 busy days on Earth post-resurrection, using his authority as King to instruct his followers on their vital mandate before ascending into heaven. III. The Fivefold New Testament Commission (Chronological Review)The speaker outlines how the critical mission to spread the message of Jesus is uniquely underscored by being recorded five distinct times in the New Testament: Commission 1: John's Account (The First Evening)Occurs on the evening of the resurrection behind locked doors. Jesus provides peace, shows his wounds, and sends them out with the model: "As the Father has sent me, even so I'm sending you.". He breathes on them to receive the Holy Spirit and speaks on the authority of handling forgiveness. Note on Thomas: Thomas misses this first meeting, doubts, but makes a grand confession of faith ("My Lord and my God") the following week. Commission 2: Luke's Account (The First Evening)Connected to the Road to Emmaus disciples returning to the 11 in Jerusalem. Jesus proves his physical nature by eating, then opens their minds to understand that his suffering and resurrection fulfilled the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms. He commands that repentance and forgiveness of sins be proclaimed in his name to all nations, beginning in Jerusalem. Commission 3: Luke's Account in Acts (The Day of Ascension)Jesus corrects the disciples' focus from political timing (restoring the kingdom to Israel) to global witnessing. He promises the immediate power of the Holy Spirit to make them witnesses from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth. Commission 4: Matthew's Account (The Royal Commission)Takes place on a designated mountain in Galilee during the 40-day window. Jesus claims "all authority" in heaven and on earth. He issues the authoritative directive to go, make disciples of all nations, baptize them in the name of the Triune God, and teach obedience to his commands, backed by his perpetual presence. Commission 5: Paul's Account (The Ministry of Reconciliation)Focuses on the conversion and commission of Paul, a former chief persecutor of the church. Frames evangelism as being driven by the love of Christ because believers are entirely new creations. Defines the church's status as "ambassadors for Christ," entrusted with the message and appeal for the world to be reconciled to God. IV. Conclusion: The Universal Scope and Purpose of the MandateNot Restricted to the Apostles: The commission was explicitly not just for the original 12 disciples; it is binding for all believers across all time. A Shared, Joyful Responsibility: While some possess a distinct spiritual gift of evangelism, every Christian is expected to witness to Christ through both their spoken words and the actions of their lives. The Ultimate Goal: To share what God has done so that mankind can receive the forgiveness of sins, walk in eternal life, and be incorporated into the body of believers. Bible Insights with  Wayne ConradContact: 8441 Hunnicut Rd Dallas, Texas 75228email: Att.

This episode is part of a nine-part series on commissions. How to prepare for them, respond to them, deliver them, and, crucially, how to stop them burning you out. If you haven't followed the podcast yet, hit follow so you don't miss an episode. Today, episode three of nine. The first practical stage of the commission process. Your commission ecosystem. In episode one, we did the mindset work. In episode two, we named the five mistakes that almost every underpriced commission has in common. Today we start building the structure. Here is the principle. Stage one of any serious commission practice is the invisible work. The four decisions you make, in advance, before any enquiry arrives. These decisions form what I call your commission ecosystem. Build it once. Revisit it annually. Let it do the work of saying no, so you do not have to do it in the moment. Why does this matter? Because the moment an enquiry arrives, your nervous system will want to say yes. The ecosystem, written down in advance, is the only thing standing between that yes and the resentment you will feel six months later. Four decisions. Let me walk you through each. KEY TAKEAWAYS Set a clear annual profit target for commissions - pricing will stop feeling vague or reactive any you will know how many of each type of commission you need to complete to keep your practice viable. A written rules list and clarity on materials, scale, and time protect you from burnout work and pull in the commissions that genuinely grow your practice.     BEST MOMENTS “The year is the unit, not the commission. Once you know what the year needs to earn, every individual commission conversation becomes easier, because you know what you're measuring against.” “This is the work. Nobody else can do it for you. But once it's done, every inquiry that arrives from that moment onward lands into a structure that already knows how to respond to it.” “Clarity makes an artist easier to collaborate with, not harder. It gives the people commissioning them something stable to work with.” For a text version of today's teaching, plus new practical guidance every week, you can subscribe to Beat the Block at https://cerihand.com/subscribe/ EPISODE RESOURCES Episode 1 of this 9-part series - https://podcasts.apple.com/es/podcast/designing-the-way-you-want-to-work-the-mindset/id1709105337?i=1000769915059 HOST BIO With over 35 years in the art world, Ceri has worked closely with leading artists and arts professionals, managed public and private galleries and charities, and curated more than 250 exhibitions and events.

The Infrastructure Commission warns planning needs to start now for how energy infrastructure will power a larger, low-carbon economy. Its latest report estimates $2 to $5 billion will need to be spent per year over the next 30 years on electricity. General Manager of Strategy Peter Nunns says generation from sources like wind, solar, and geothermal will need to expand to meet demand. He told Heather du Plessis-Allan there's a gap at the moment in terms of energy, which is contributing to high and volatile prices. According to the Climate Commission, electricity use will rise about 60% over the next generation, Nunns says, so generation, transmission, and distribution will all need to increase to match it.

What does it look like to pursue unity in a divided world?In this episode of the CGN Podcast, Daniel Williams and Brian Brodersen sit down with Evan Wickham—pastor of Park Hill Church in San Diego and worship leader—to discuss the beauty and challenge of cultivating unity within the body of Christ.Evan shares stories from eight years of church planting, navigating seasons of leadership transition, and preparing to become a grandfather. Together, they explore why clarity and love must go hand in hand, how worship can bring believers together across denominational lines, and why rediscovering the richness of the historic church can strengthen our witness today.From citywide prayer gatherings and songwriting sessions with Christians from different traditions to practical encouragement for pastors seeking deeper relationships within the broader church, this conversation is a timely reminder that Jesus' prayer for unity still matters.As we prepare for the CGN International Ministry Conference 2026, this episode invites us to consider what it means to be the church in the world—for such a time as this.Join us for the CGN International Ministry Conference, June 28–July 1, 2026, at Calvary Chapel Costa Mesa.For registration and conference details, visit:CGN International Ministry Conference

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur une proposition de l'opposition ivoirienne pour un nouvel organe électoral, un arbitre somalien refoulé des États-Unis et le scandale de chlordécone dans les Antilles françaises. Mali : quelles sont les raisons de la condamnation d'un agent français de la DGSE ?   Arrêté à Bamako en avril 2025 en même temps qu'une dizaine d'officiers maliens, un ressortissant français, membre des services de renseignement, a été condamné à 20 ans de prison au Mali pour « atteinte à la sûreté de l'État ». Que lui reproche la justice malienne ? Dans un contexte de relations tendues entre Bamako et Paris, quelle marge de manœuvre la France a-t-elle désormais face à cette condamnation ?  Avec Serge Daniel, correspondant régional de RFI sur le Sahel.     Côte d'Ivoire : que prévoit le nouvel organe électoral proposé par une partie de l'opposition ?  Un mois après la dissolution de la Commission électorale indépendante en Côte d'Ivoire, une coalition de dix partis d'opposition propose la création d'un « Haut Conseil électoral » pour remplacer l'ancienne structure. Portée par Simone Ehivet Gbagbo, l'ex-Première dame, qui a participé à l'élaboration du projet, cette proposition a été soumise au gouvernement. Mais concrètement, que changerait la mise en place de cette nouvelle instance ? Comment serait-elle composée ? Pourquoi les deux principales forces de l'opposition, le PDCI de Tidjane Thiam et le PPA-CI de Laurent Gbagbo, ne prennent-elles pas part à cette démarche ?   Avec Bineta Diagne, correspondante permanente de RFI à Abidjan.       Mondial 2026 : pourquoi un arbitre somalien désigné par la Fifa a-t-il été refoulé des États-Unis ?  Considéré comme l'un des meilleurs arbitres africains, le Somalien Omar Abdulkadir Artan a été sélectionné par la FIFA pour officier aux États-Unis lors de la Coupe du monde 2026. Mais à son arrivée à l'aéroport de Miami, il a été refoulé par les autorités américaines, malgré un visa que les autorités somaliennes assurent être parfaitement valide. Comment un arbitre officiellement désigné peut-il se voir interdire l'entrée dans le pays hôte ? Pourquoi la FIFA, pourtant organisatrice de la compétition, ne peut-elle pas s'opposer à une telle décision ? Avec Kévin Veyssière, expert en géopolitique du sport, auteur de « Mondial 2026 » (éditions Max Milo).       Scandale du chlordécone : comment dépolluer les sols antillais ?  Le Parlement français a reconnu à l'unanimité la responsabilité de l'État dans le scandale du chlordécone aux Antilles. Entre les années 1970 et 1990, cet insecticide a été utilisé dans les bananeraies de Guadeloupe et de Martinique, alors même que l'OMS alertait déjà sur sa dangerosité sur les habitants. Maintenant que cette responsabilité est officiellement reconnue, quelles mesures concrètes seront mises en place pour dépolluer les terres ?  Avec Hervé Macarie, chargé de recherche à l'IRD (Institut de recherche pour le développement), affecté à l'unité mixte de recherche IMBE, l'Institut méditerranéen de biodiversité et d'écologie marine et continentale.   À lire aussiChlordécone: les députés français pointent la responsabilité de l'État, les indemnisations dans le flou

Sanctuary on the Moon est une initiative internationale visant à créer une capsule temporelle. Il s'agit de graver sur des disques des dessins et des textes qui reflètent « ce que l'on est, ce que l'on sait, ce que l'on fait aujourd'hui » pour ensuite les déposer sur la Lune avec une prochaine mission de la NASA et qu'ils y restent « pour qu'un jour des archéologues puissent les retrouver et comprendre comment notre civilisation était en 2020, 2030 ».L'objectif est de garder des traces de l'humanité telle qu'elle existe aujourd'hui dans des milliers, voire des millions, d'années à venir. Des collégiens de notre partenaire Eco Radio, du collège Vincent Van Gogh, à Blénod-lès-Pont-à-Mousson, en France, ont reçu trois invités pour parler du projet et du concours « Les enfants de la planète Terre » : Hélène Pierson, rédactrice scientifique de Sanctuary on the Moon, Juliette Sardet de la Commission nationale française pour l'UNESCO, et Guillaume Monnain, illustrateur spécialisé dans la vulgarisation scientifique.Dans cet entretien, ils expliquent ce qu'est le projet Sanctuary on the Moon etcomment les enfants sont impliqués dans ce projet à travers un concours sélectionnant des dessins qui seront envoyés sur la Lune.

The City of San Diego's Commission on Police Practices was created in 2020 with the purpose of investigating claims of police misconduct. But, six years later, it still lacks many of the powers voters approved.A recent report released by the San Diego County Civil Grand Jury raises concerns about the rollout of the commission, including stalled labor negotiations, staffing challenges and limited access to police records.On Midday Edition, we sit down with San Diego Union-Tribune reporter Kelly Davis, and revisit the measure that created the commission, and why it is struggling to meet its original vision.Guest:Kelly Davis, watchdog reporter, The San Diego Union-Tribune

On this, our 329th Evolutionary Lens livestream, we continue to discuss the West. We begin with readings of glorious California—from Stegner to Chandler to Didion—and reminisce about our own time growing up in LA. Then: the elections in California seem rigged, and if your elections are rigged, you don't have a democracy. Paper polls worked; in-person voting worked; exit polls provided information. Why did our elections change? The system as it stands is an invitation to fraud. A democratic republic is the only viable alternative, and Democrats are destroying the goose that lays the golden eggs, which makes the marvelous life of most people—including the men singing about not taking it anymore--possible. Meanwhile in the state of Washington: the newest Executive Order demonstrates just how spineless, powerless, and in need of replacement, our leaders are. EO 26-01 purports to address menopausal and perimenopausal symptoms; instead, it is a pandering, bureaucratic, gameable, woke, anti-scientific mess.

Le charbon est l'énergie qui contribue le plus au réchauffement de la planète. Pour respecter l'accord de Paris de 2015 sur le climat, les pays de l'Union européenne devraient l'abandonner avant 2030. Beaucoup s'y sont engagés. Mais après l'invasion à grande échelle de l'Ukraine par la Russie en 2022, et la hausse des prix de l'énergie, certains ont repoussé l'échéance ou revu leur calendrier. La Roumanie en fait partie. Le pays touche des aides de Bruxelles pour sortir du charbon, mais a obtenu en octobre 2025 un délai supplémentaire de la part de la Commission européenne, pour reporter la fermeture de plusieurs de ses mines et centrales, malgré les conséquences pour l'environnement. Un Grand reportage de Justine Fontaine, avec Arturo Cimini. Réalisation : Jérémie Boucher.   La plus grande mine de lignite à ciel ouvert de Roumanie, la mine Rosia, ressemble à un immense cratère. Située en Olténie, dans le sud-ouest du pays, on y descend en 4x4, jusqu'au pied d'une falaise noire et grise, creusée par une gigantesque excavatrice. Aussi haute qu'un immeuble de huit étages, elle avale ce type de charbon très polluant grâce à une grande roue avant de le recracher, en petits morceaux brun foncé, sur un tapis roulant qui file jusqu'en haut de la mine, en plein vent. « Et là c'est un dépôt de charbon, explique Felix Tirca, coordinateur du site, où travaillent près de 1 000 personnes. Le lignite est entreposé ici avant d'être envoyé vers la centrale thermique » voisine, précise-t-il, casque de chantier sur la tête, chaussures de sécurité et bleu de travail. On aperçoit la fumée blanche de sa cheminée depuis le site d'extraction du lignite. Cette centrale, comme la mine, appartient à une entreprise publique, le Complexe énergétique d'Olténie (CE Oltenia). On retrouve dans son bureau, à l'abri de la poussière de charbon soulevée par le vent, le directeur de la mine, Nicolae Mirea. Habillé, comme ses collègues, d'un bleu de travail siglé du logo de l'entreprise, son casque est posé à côté de lui. Il reste en contact avec ses équipes via un talkie walkie. «D'après les dernières informations qu'on a, la fermeture est prévue pour 2029. Mais on espère rester ouverts plus longtemps», dit-il. « L'avenir n'est pas très prometteur pour nous, nous sommes conscients qu'on va devoir fermer... mais on souhaite qu'au moins les jeunes puissent en vivre le plus longtemps possible », avance-t-il.  Craintes pour l'emploi À côté de lui, son collègue, Ionel Marius Gruescu, tient à nous montrer une image sur son téléphone : « Voilà ma femme et mes enfants. Moi et mes collègues sommes de la même génération. Nos enfants sont encore petits, donc nous espérons tous que cette mine et les centrales ne fermeront pas », glisse-t-il. À bientôt 50 ans, il ne s'imagine pas se reconvertir et commencer un autre travail, dans une région où l'économie repose en grande partie sur le lignite.  Ici, chaque famille compte un ou plusieurs  mineurs. « Mon père et ma mère travaillaient dans une centrale à charbon », témoigne Boby Monteanu, qui dirige le syndicat des mineurs Cartel Alfa dans le comté de Gorj, en Olténie. Lui a commencé comme électricien dans une mine de la région, à l'âge de 18. « Ma sœur, mes oncles... Nous avons tous travaillé dans les mines. Mais je suis le seul à être devenu dirigeant syndical. » « À l'heure actuelle, moins de 15 000 personnes travaillent encore dans l'industrie minière en Roumanie, contre 300 000 en 1997, quand a commencé la restructuration de l'industrie minière, pointe un autre syndicaliste, Dumitru Pirvulescu, président de la fédération roumaine des mines et de l'énergie. Depuis, on assiste à un exode des jeunes vers d'autres régions ou d'autres pays. Et c'est un gros problème dans ce comté. »  « La Roumanie ne peut se passer du charbon » En 2021, la Roumanie s'est engagée auprès de l'Union européenne à sortir du charbon d'ici à 2032. Mais en octobre 2025, le gouvernement roumain a demandé et obtenu un délai supplémentaire de la part de Bruxelles, pour retarder la fermeture de plusieurs mines et centrales de l'Olténie, la région où on se trouve. « Le gouvernement roumain a eu raison de reporter la fermeture des centrales à charbon. Car le plan de sortie de charbon était basé sur une autre Europe : quand il a été approuvé, la guerre en Ukraine a commencé immédiatement après, ce qui a bouleversé l'Europe », salue le syndicaliste. Pour les partisans du charbon, la guerre au Moyen-Orient est un argument supplémentaire pour prolonger la durée de vie des centrales et, avec ça, maintenir les emplois existants. Ils estiment que le charbon est utile pour la stabilité du réseau électrique et qu'il n'est pas justifié que la Roumanie s'en passe avant d'autres pays européens, comme l'Allemagne ou la Bulgarie. « ​​​​​​​Nous assurons la sécurité énergétique nationale. La Roumanie ne peut se passer du charbon », insiste Mircea Gherendi. Mineur depuis 31 ans, il travaille sur une excavatrice. « ​​​​​​​L'Union européenne a-t-elle compris que la Roumanie avait besoin du charbon ? Non. Que la Roumanie se convertisse au gaz n'augure rien de bon. Car le gaz est très cher », s'inquiète-t-il, face aux projets de transformer certaines centrales à charbon en centrales à gaz, dont l'énergie devrait alors être importée.  Malgré le délai supplémentaire négocié avec l'Union européenne, il y a quelques semaines à peine, les contrats de près de 1 800 personnes n'ont pas été renouvelés par l'entreprise publique dans l'une des centrales à charbon de la région.   Une vallée ponctuée de centrales Juste à côté de la mine, la centrale de Rovinari est l'une de celles qui ponctue le paysage de la vallée. Le long de la route, on dirait de gigantesques paquebots gris et rouillés, flanqués d'imposantes tours de refroidissement. On suit Marius Bizga vers la salle des machines. Il dirige cette centrale vieille de plus d'un demi-siècle. « ​​​​​​​La centrale avait six unités au départ, mais il n'y en a plus que trois aujourd'hui, de 330 mégawatts chacune. Et une seule est en marche en ce moment », en cette période de printemps, où les besoins en chauffage et en climatisation sont faibles, expose-t-il. « Là, c'est la chaudière, vous pouvez voir la combustion à travers ces fenêtres. Le charbon arrive de chaque côté, ici, puis est broyé très fin avant d'être brûlé », explique le directeur, depuis le cœur de l'usine, une cathédrale de métal traversée par de gigantesques tuyaux d'où s'échappent quelques gouttes d'eau des circuits de refroidissement. Marius Bizga nous emmène ensuite dans la salle de contrôle. On peut y observer en temps réel la production d'électricité de la centrale. Aujourd'hui, le charbon représente encore un peu moins de 15% de l'électricité produite dans le pays. L'entreprise met en avant les investissements réalisés ces dernières années, à hauteurs de plusieurs centaines de millions d'euros pour réduire les émissions de gaz toxiques de ses centrales. « La première unité a été mise en service en 1972. À partir de 2004, toutes les unités ont été modernisées, assure le directeur. Nous avons ainsi investi pour réduire les émissions de dioxyde de soufre et d'oxyde d'azote. Nous respectons toutes les exigences en matière de protection de l'environnement », insiste-t-il. Deux fois plus de CO2 que le gaz Au-dessus de l'usine, la fumée blanche a remplacé la fumée noire ou grise du passé. Mais, même si les émissions de gaz toxiques ont été réduites, le charbon reste la source d'électricité la plus polluante : près de deux fois plus de CO2 que le gaz naturel, une autre énergie fossile. La police de l'environnement dans le comté de Gorj a aussi infligé plusieurs amendes ces dernières années à des centrales de l'entreprise publique CE Oltenia, notammment pour avoir dépassé les seuils de pollution de l'air. Malgré les conséquences pour l'environnement et pour la santé, de nombreux habitants continuent de soutenir l'industrie du charbon, au nom de l'emploi local ou encore de l'indépendance énergétique du pays. « S'ils veulent fermer les mines et les centrales, ce n'est pas parce que ça pollue, c'est pour nous ruiner économiquement », croit savoir Daniel, 52 ans, cheminot rencontré sur une place de Targu Jiu, chef lieu du comté. « Ils ne veulent plus qu'on soit indépendants de l'Union européenne sur le plan énergétique. [...] Si les centrales à charbon et les mines ferment, ça augmentera automatiquement le chômage alors qu'on est déjà en train de s'appauvrir. Si on ne produit plus rien, cette région, ce sera une zone morte. Voilà les conséquences de la fermeture des mines et des centrales », s'alarme-t-il. Cet habitant assure qu'il n'a jamais été préoccupé par les conséquences sanitaires de l'exploitation du charbon.   Retards Si les habitants ne voient pas d'alternatives au charbon, c'est aussi parce que les projets qui devaient remplacer le lignite n'ont pas été lancés à temps, voire pas du tout. À Bucarest, la capitale roumanie, nous avons rendez-vous avec l'ONG  environnementale Bankwatch. « ​​​​​​​Le gouvernement de Roumanie s'est engagé en 2021, à sortir du charbon en 2032, rappelle Eliza Barnea, qui gère la campagne pour une transition juste chez Bankwatch Roumanie. Pour ça, le pays a reçu presque 2 milliards d'euros » de la part de l'Union européenne, pour convertir en centrales à gaz certaines centrales à charbon et construire des parcs photovoltaïques. Or, les projets de centrales à gaz n'ont pas encore dépassé le stade de l'appel d'offres et la construction des parcs photovoltaïques n'a pas encore commencé. Selon elle, la responsabilité de ces retards revient surtout à l'État roumain. La Commission européenne a néanmoins été trop « ​​​​​​​permissive » avec Bucarest, estime-t-elle.    Des émissions de CO2 non déclarées ? Il y a quelques mois, le complexe énergétique Oltenia a aussi été épinglé dans une enquête journalistique publiée par Follow The Money. L'entreprise est soupçonnée d'avoir sous-estimé ses émissions de CO2. Grâce à cela, elle aurait économisé près de 250 millions d'euros sur ses quotas européens d'émissions de dioxyde de carbone. Jointe par téléphone, Anna-Kaisa Itkonen, porte-parole de la Commission européenne sur les questions d'énergie, confirme qu'une enquête a été ouverte à Bruxelles, notamment sur ce point, mais n'est « pas en mesure d'en dire plus tant que l'enquête est en cours ». Elle défend aussi la décision d'accepter de reporter la fermeture de certaines centrales à charbon, un secteur qui est pourtant le principal émetteur de CO2 du pays. « Je ne dirais pas que nous payons la Roumanie pour qu'elle conserve ses centrales électriques à charbon », se défend-elle. « Nous continuons à encourager l'élimination du charbon et à accélérer le déploiement des énergies renouvelables. La Roumanie a des prix de l'électricité parmi les plus élevés d'Europe à l'heure actuelle, tout en étant fortement dépendante des combustibles fossiles. Or, on constate que les États membres qui ont la plus grande part d'énergies renouvelables ont également tendance à avoir les prix de l'électricité les plus bas. C'est pourquoi nous encourageons la Roumanie à prendre des mesures en faveur de la décarbonation et de l'électrification, car cela se traduit en fin de compte par des prix plus bas pour les consommateurs », avance la porte-parole.    Panneaux solaires Anna-Kaisa Itkonen estime que la Roumanie a enregistré des avancées importantes pour réduire ses émissions de CO2 et développer les énergies renouvelables. Le pays est, en effet, l'un des États membres qui a le plus diminué ses émissions de dioxyde de carbone depuis les années 90. Eliza Barnea, de l'ONG bankwatch, voit elle aussi des raisons d'espérer, comme le développement des panneaux solaires chez les particuliers, avec le soutien de l'État. Ainsi, « ​​​​​​​ces dernières années, le nombre d'autoconsommateurs d'électricité a beaucoup augmenté. Face à la hausse des prix causée par les conflits internationaux, les gens sont attirés par la perspective d'être plus indépendants du point de vue énergétique, de ne pas être exposés à la volatilité des prix », analyse-t-elle. L'ONG se réjouit aussi du développement de projets d'énergies renouvelables par de petites municipalités d'Olténie, comme Turceni, dont la municipalité « vient de déposer des demandes de géothermie, l'une des sources de chaleur les moins chères et plus propres. On espère que, petit à petit, ces initiatives locales vont contribuer à faire avancer la transition », conclut-elle. Ce reportage a bénéficié d'un financement de l'Union européenne.  

Send us Fan MailIn this episode, Pastor Dom teaches on the crucial difference between religion and relationshipColossians 2:20-2320 Therefore, if you died with Christ from the basic principles of the world, why, as though living in the world, do you subject yourselves to regulations— 21 “Do not touch, do not taste, do not handle,” 22 which all concern things which perish with the using—according to the commandments and doctrines of men? 23 These things indeed have an appearance of wisdom in self-imposed religion, false humility, and neglect of the body, but are of no value against the indulgence of the flesh.Galatians 2:20-2120 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 21 I do not set aside the grace of God; for if righteousness comes through the law, then Christ died in vain.” 2 Corinthians 5:1717 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.Ephesians 2:8-108 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast. 10 For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.1 John 1:7 7 …the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin.Hebrews 9:1212 Not with the blood of goats and calves, but with His own blood He entered the Most Holy Place once for all, having obtained eternal redemption.Revelation 12:11 11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, and they did not love their lives to the death.1 Corinthians 11:23-2523 For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; 24 and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “Take, eat; this is My body which is [b]broken for you; do this in remembrance of Me.” 25 In the same manner He also took the cup after supper, saying, “This cup is the new covenant in My blood. This do, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of Me.”

"The Biblical teaching of Unitarianism (One God) versus the teaching of Trinitarianism (3 gods) is outlined. The word "trinity" or related words are not found in the Bible. This teaching only surfaced around AD 350-381. The Bible affirms monotheism not polytheism."Inspiring, What if the most widely held belief about God isn't actually found in the Bible? In this thought-provoking and deeply insightful exposition, we embark on a journey through Scripture to examine the foundations of Trinitarianism versus the Biblical Unitarian position. This is not an attack on sincere believers, but a heartfelt and respectful exploration of what the Bible actually teaches about the Father and His Son.This outstanding presentation moves beyond simple proof-texting to reveal the historical development of the Trinity, the philosophical challenges it presents, and the wonderful, plain reading of Scripture that points to one God, the Father, and one Lord Jesus Christ, His exalted Son. We delve into the concept of divine agency, the personification of wisdom, and the revealing truth of what the early church truly believed.If you have ever wondered why the word "Trinity" isn't in the Bible, or how a plain reading of Acts 2 or 1 Corinthians 15 shapes our understanding of who Jesus is, this video is for you. It's a wonderful opportunity to see the cohesive and logical beauty of the Unitarian understanding of God's plan.**Chapters:**00:00 - Introduction: A Respectful Approach to a Difficult Subject02:08 - Playing Offense: Why We Don't Hold to the Trinity03:22 - The Missing Word: "Trinity" and Later Creeds05:40 - Peter's Testimony: A Plain Reading of Acts 208:27 - When Did the Theory Arise?

Ils couvrent 70% de la planète, à la fois régulateur du climat, les océans abritent la majorité de la biodiversité sur terre et sont également source de nourriture et de revenus pour les populations. Mais entre le réchauffement climatique, les pollutions, la surpêche, l'érosion côtière... Ils souffrent aussi de nombreux maux. À cause du réchauffement climatique, le Sénégal, la Gambie et la Mauritanie, ont par exemple, vu chuter les prises de sardinelles rondes, espèce très prisée et auparavant abondante, de 70 à 80%, selon une étude du Centre de recherches océanographiques de Dakar-Thiaroye et de l'Institut de recherche et développement (IRD). Ce qui préoccupe les États membres de la Commission sous-regionale des pêches (CSRP). De manière générale, le continent africain est également victime d'une surexploitation de ses ressources halieutiques. Selon l'Union africaine, la pêche illicite coûte près de 11 milliards d'euros par an au continent. Une situation qui attise les tensions chez les pêcheurs et impose une meilleure protection des océans et, en particulier, des écosystèmes côtiers.    En janvier 2026, le traité sur la haute mer, ratifié par plus de 80 pays est entré en vigueur. Une étape jugée historique et essentielle pour atteindre l'objectif mondial de protection de 30% des océans d'ici 2030. Parmi les mécanismes à mettre en œuvre, la désignation et la gestion d'aires marines protégées (AMP) en haute mer. Les AMP côtières ont largement progressé sur le continent africain, des obstacles structurels demeurent notamment à cause d'un manque de financement. Dans ce contexte, comment faire de ces zones de véritables leviers pour le développement ? Comment assurer leur rôle de conservation tout en préservant la durabilité de la pêche ?  À l'occasion de la Journée mondiale des océans. Avec :  • François Chartier, chargé de campagne Océans chez Greenpeace France • Patrice Brehmer, directeur de recherche en écologie marine à l'Institut de recherche pour le développement, IRD, basé à la Commission sous-régionale des Pêches (CSRP) à Dakar au Sénégal.  Un entretien avec Sarah Tetaud, correspondante de RFI à Antananarivo, à Madagascar, où les communautés de pêcheurs voient les ressources diminuer.

Cette année l'événement a permis d'annoncer 93 milliards d'euros d'investissements - soit plus que les huit éditions précédentes réunies – au travers de 71 projets, représentant quelque 15.600 emplois.Le géant japonais des investissements dans la tech a promis d'investir jusqu'à 75 milliards d'euros en France, dont 45 milliards pour la construction de trois centres de données dans les Hauts-de-France d'ici à 2031. La disponibilité d'une électricité abondante, stable et décarbonée, grâce au parc de centrales nucléaires d'EDF, a convaincu SoftBank de choisir l'Hexagone.La procédure accélérée dite « fast track » lancée en mai 2025 par RTE, l'opérateur du réseau de transport d'électricité, a également joué. Elle a permis d'identifier huit sites adaptés aux centres de données de plus de 400 mégawatts (MW) et raccordables au réseau plus rapidement qu'avec une procédure classique. Autre mesure pour attirer plus de centres de données : la loi de simplification de la vie économique du 27 mai 2026 leur permet de bénéficier de la qualité de « projet d'intérêt national majeur » qui emporte plusieurs avantages comme la priorisation du raccordement au réseau d'électricité et la simplification des consultations du public. En revanche, la loi prévoit que le permis de construire pourra être refusé en cas de « tensions structurelles sur la ressource en eau », élément dont les centres de données sont extrêmement gourmands. Une attention particulière a aussi été accordée avec succès aux établissements financiers à la recherche d'une terre d'asile dans l'Union européenne après le Brexit : chaque année depuis 2019, le baromètre Ernst et Young (EY) place la France en tête du classement des pays européens les plus attractifs.Toutefois, certains entrepreneurs français ont fini par se lasser de Choose France. Ils auraient souhaité que l'attention accordée avec constance aux groupes étrangers susceptibles d'investir chez nous soit la même pour eux. En novembre dernier, l'Élysée a organisé le premier « Choose France - Édition France » pour mettre à l'honneur les entreprises tricolores qui, elles aussi, choisissent d'investir en France. Elles ont eu droit de se réunir… à la Maison de la Chimie.IA : L'EUROPE PEUT-ELLE NE PLUS DÉPENDRE DES USA ?La Commission européenne a dévoilé mercredi un grand plan pour la « souveraineté technologique », au risque de déclencher un nouveau bras de fer avec les Etats-Unis de Donald Trump. Pour son projet de « reconquérir sa place dans la course mondiale à la puissance géoéconomique », l'UE s'inquiète tout particulièrement de sa dépendance aux géants américains des services informatiques à distance ou « cloud ». Amazon, Microsoft et Google contrôlent 70% du marché européen. Or les services numériques reposant sur des fournisseurs américains, notamment dans la défense, mais aussi la santé pourraient être désactivés via un mécanisme d'arrêt d'urgence (ou « kill switch » en anglais), en cas de crise ouverte avec l'administration Trump.Le plan présenté par la Commission concentre les investissements sur les maillons jugés critiques : la production de semi-conducteurs, le développement de capacités européennes en intelligence artificielle, le stockage et le traitement des données, ainsi que la sécurisation des infrastructures numériques. Les entreprises de l'IA et du cloud pourraient être tenues de fournir des garanties pour décrocher des contrats publics. Pour renforcer la sécurité des données européennes dans certains secteurs critiques, comme la défense, la Commission va exiger que leur stockage ait lieu dans des centres de données appartenant à des fournisseurs européens. Pour combler le retard européen en matière de stockage des données, l'exécutif bruxellois prévoit de tripler les capacités installées au cours des cinq à sept prochaines années, afin d'atteindre 60 gigawatts, contre 12 aujourd'hui. Un investissement estimé à quelque 200 milliards d'euros, incombant essentiellement au secteur privé. Pour optimiser le stockage, une mutualisation des capacités entre États membres est également envisagée sous le label EuroCloud.Sur le volet IA, le texte cible trois domaines prioritaires : la robotique, les applications industrielles et la course aux grands modèles génératifs, celle où s'affrontent ChatGPT, Gemini et leurs rivaux. L'ambition affichée : créer « l'équivalent d'un CERN pour l'IA », un grand programme qui réunirait les meilleurs chercheurs européens autour des machines les plus puissantes, à l'image de ce que le laboratoire de physique de Genève a représenté pour la recherche nucléaire.Ces propositions vont maintenant être débattues au Conseil de l'Europe et au Parlement, avant de revenir d'ici un an vers les Etats membres.Chaque semaine, Philippe Meyer anime une conversation d'analyse politique, argumentée et courtoise, sur des thèmes nationaux et internationaux liés à l'actualité.

This powerful teaching by Assistant Pastor Dillon Meadway on Sunday, June 7th 2026, from Acts 1:6-8 challenges us to examine what truly consumes our hearts and minds. We find the disciples still fixated on restoring Israel's physical kingdom, missing the greater spiritual mission Jesus was commissioning them for. The central question posed is profound: what subject could we talk about endlessly without preparation? For many of us, it might be our careers, hobbies, or families—but should it be the gospel? Through the story of Bridget, a finance counselor whose true passion was art, we discover a beautiful spiritual analogy. Just as her artistic gift permeated every aspect of her life, God's Spirit should saturate our entire being—our thoughts, emotions, actions, and relationships. The teaching confronts our tendency to be consumed by traditions, comfort, and fleshly desires rather than the Great Commission. We're reminded that God doesn't need our perfection or complete giftings; He needs our willingness, like the young boy with five loaves and two fish. When we bring what little we have to God and lay it at His feet, He multiplies it for kingdom purposes. The challenge is clear: are we consumed by restoring our own 'Israel'—our comfort zones, schedules, and personal kingdoms—or are we consumed by reaching the uttermost parts of the earth with the gospel?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Todd Kroupa A former firefighter turned top-producing real estate agent in Georgia. Todd explains his journey from a physically demanding fire department career to becoming a highly successful real estate broker, team leader, and luxury/equestrian property specialist. The conversation walks through: His transition from the fire service to real estate Opening and managing a 400‑agent office in Florida Relocating to Georgia and re-establishing his business How he advises both first-time homebuyers and experienced sellers Emotional decision-making in buying and selling Inspections, deal-breakers, and buyer/seller behavior Multi-generational housing trends post‑COVID Why real estate remains a wealth-building tool Advice for navigating neighborhoods, schools, and due diligence His eventual ranking as #1 single agent for Berkshire Hathaway in Georgia (2024–2025) Todd emphasizes integrity, long-term relationships, and guiding clients toward the right house — not just closing a deal. Purpose of the Interview The purpose of Todd Kroupa’s appearance is to: Share a motivational career-change story — moving from firefighter to top real estate agent. Educate listeners on the real estate process — including buying, selling, inspections, and market strategy. Give practical tips for first-time homebuyers, families, and multi-generational households. Promote best practices for choosing neighborhoods, navigating emotion in home buying, and avoiding pitfalls. Highlight Todd’s success and position him as a trusted resource for Georgia real estate clients. Key Takeaways 1. Career Transition & Motivation Todd became a firefighter in 1992, retired in 2014, and began real estate in 2002. Real estate appealed to him because it allowed him to continue helping people without the physical strain. He built and managed a 400-agent office before returning to working directly with clients — his true passion. 2. Balancing Firefighting and Real Estate He often worked both jobs full-time, with limited days off. Eventually, maintaining both became impossible: “I can’t do this anymore,” he told his wife. 3. Buyer Advice Buyers make decisions emotionally first, then logically. Within the first 3–5 minutes in a home, buyers often know if they like it. Lighting, paint color, home condition, and layout heavily influence emotional response. First-time buyers need extra guidance — like “teaching someone to drive for the first time.” 4. Seller Advice Selling isn’t just about market timing — presentation matters. Neutral paint colors and bright white lighting help increase buyer appeal. Every showing is won or lost in the first few minutes. 5. Inspections Matter — and Are Deal Breakers Top inspection walk‑aways: Mold Foundation issues Roof problemsTodd stresses that if a buyer is uncomfortable before closing, “you won’t be comfortable after you close.” 6. Emotion vs. Logic Many buyers get emotionally attached and ignore red flags. Todd’s rule: commissions should never drive decisions. 7. Multi-Generational Living Is Rising Driven by COVID, high child-care costs, rising home prices. Families are choosing: ADUs (Accessory Dwelling Units) “In-law suites” Larger family compounds 8. Real Estate as a Wealth Builder Unlike stock investments, real estate allows you to: Control, improve, alter, and live in the asset. Tax advantages like 1031 exchanges and mortgage deductions compound long-term value. 9. Don’t Buy the Most Expensive House in the Neighborhood Surrounding homes cap your resale value. You may have to wait years for nearby homes to “catch up.” 10. Neighborhood Due Diligence Realtors must avoid discrimination (Fair Housing Act). Buyers should: Visit neighborhoods at night and on weekends Speak with neighbors Review school ratings and county resources Notable Quotes (from the transcript) Career & Purpose “I love helping people. That’s why I became a fireman. Real estate was another way to help people.” “I wasn’t quite sure I wanted to manage long term… my heart was with clients.” Ethics & Commission “Commissions should never be above the people.” “If you’re focused on commissions, you need to pick a different industry.” Emotions in Home Buying “Buyers think they’re looking logically, but they’re looking emotionally first.” “Within the first 3–5 minutes, they already know if they like the home.” Inspections “If you’re not comfortable with the property now, you won’t be comfortable after you close.” Neighborhood Choice “Focus on the house, but look at the neighborhood — you can’t change your neighbors.” Wealth Building “With stocks you can’t control it, improve it, or live in it. With a home, you can.” Success & Determination “Someone told me when I moved to Georgia I wasn’t going to make it. Now I’m the number one salesperson in Georgia.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSupport the show: https://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
