“As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable.” (1 Samuel 3:19 NLT) In certain jobs, workers designate their hours of availability. That is, the times they can be scheduled to work. Employers consult these hours of availability to draw up weekly shifts and to determine whom to call to cover shifts for workers who are sick or on vacation or to lend support during times of heavy demand. Needless to say, workers who have a lot of availability are usually popular with their managers. The same principle applies to the Christian life, with a few important distinctions. First, the Christian life is more than a job; it’s an identity. It’s the single most important priority in our lives. If you’re new to the Christian faith, or if you’ve neglected your faith in the past, you need to understand that, as your faith goes, so goes your life. And that brings us to the second important distinction. If you’re a disciple of Christ, you don’t get to choose your hours of availability. Committing your life to the Lord means always being available to be used by Him. Our prayer should be, “Lord, You can use me whether it’s my day off or not. I may be out surfing or on the golf course or out snowboarding, but I want You to call upon me. I am available to represent You. Please call on me.” Availability pleases the Lord. The Old Testament tells the story of Samuel, a boy who served in the tabernacle. One night, the Lord called to him, “Samuel! Samuel!” Samuel replied, “Speak, your servant is listening” (1 Samuel 3:10 NLT). Samuel was ready to do anything the Lord instructed. He made it clear that he was available to serve. Nine verses later, we see the result of Samuel’s availability. “As Samuel grew up, the Lord was with him, and everything Samuel said proved to be reliable” (1 Samuel 3:19 NLT). God does amazing things in the lives of those who make themselves available to Him. God doesn’t choose spiritual giants; He makes spiritual giants of people who give themselves to His service. David was a shepherd whose own father couldn’t picture him as a king. Gideon thought so little of himself that he asked God to perform two different miracles just to prove that there was no mistake. But they made themselves available to God. And God took it from there. It’s been said that ninety percent of success in life is showing up. In the Christian life, the percentage is one hundred percent. If you’re a Christian, the Holy Spirit dwells within you, guiding and directing you. So “showing up” in the Christian life is a matter of following His prompting, prioritizing God’s will, obeying the commands of Scripture, and living in a way that honors Christ. If you make yourself available to God in those ways, He will use you in ways you can’t imagine. Are you available to be used by God? If so, let Him know. And then listen for His call. Reflection question: How can you make yourself available to the Lord?

Two leading Israeli rights organisations have said Israel's conduct in the war in Gaza constitutes genocide against the Palestinian population and the country's western allies have a legal and moral duty to stop it, it comes as Britain will recognise the state of Palestine in September. Jonathan Heaky spoke to one of those organisations B'Tselem.

Jonathan Heaky spoke to one of those organisations B'Tselem.

Today, we're taking a moment to step back from the noise and focus on the heartbreaking reality unfolding in Gaza. With mounting civilian casualties, reports of mass starvation, and widespread devastation, more voices, both at home and abroad, are beginning to call Israel's actions what they are: potential war crimes. Don breaks down the latest developments in the Gaza-Israel conflict, the growing global outcry, and what justice and accountability might look like. This isn't about politics, it's about humanity. Let's talk about what's really happening, and why the world can't look away. This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile.

Committing to consistency, running strategic year-long marketing campaigns, and leaning into a niche with Kate Shungu from Gift of Hospitality. ----- Welcome to episode 528 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Kate Shungu from Gift of Hospitality. How Kate Shungu Grew to 400k Sessions a Year from Pinterest by Using a Marketing Campaign Kate first started food blogging in 2017 with no real focus or niche. In 2018, she rebranded to entertaining and hospitality but, understandably, had to pivot again during the summer of 2020. Since then, she settled into her niche of vintage recipes for modern cooks and quickly grew to 50k sessions by the spring of 2021. In this interview, Bjork and Kate discuss approaching your brand promotion via platform-specific, year-long marketing campaigns and how to think about marketing as investing your time versus spending your ad dollars. Kate's success stories on both Pinterest and Facebook will be really inspiring to anyone looking to diversify their traffic sources away from Google! Three episode takeaways: How Kate doubled her Pinterest traffic in one year — Kate spent a year devoted to growing her Pinterest account, and it (majorly) paid off. Pinterest is now Kate's biggest traffic driver and has kept her afloat through many Google algorithm updates. Kate shares her keyword research strategy on Pinterest, her pinning schedule, and more in this interview. How to develop “marketing campaigns” to promote your brand — Kate uses her background in marketing to develop year-long “marketing campaigns” for her brand and has seen huge success when committing her time to different social media platforms (so far, Pinterest and Facebook) for an entire year. She shares why you don't need to worry about over-promoting your content, and how you can get started with your own marketing campaigns. The importance of clarifying who you're marketing to — Bjork and Kate discuss the benefits of constraints for creators, and how committing to a niche and defining the person you're marketing to can transform your marketing strategy. By focusing on your reader — how they use the internet and what platforms they're on, you can simplify your brand and clarify your business.

Do you embrace the fear that comes with chasing bigger goals, or do you let it hold you back? In this episode, Dan Sullivan and Shannon Waller explore why excitement and fear are inseparable for ambitious entrepreneurs—and how reframing fear as fuel, not a foe, is the key to lifelong growth and fulfillment. Here's some of what you'll learn in this episode:The specific types of fear entrepreneurs experience when pursuing big goals.How Dan experiences both fear and excitement with a current project.The two things that entrepreneurs can do with their fear.Why status-seeking entrepreneurs eventually lose their ambition.The cost of eliminating fear from your future. Show Notes: Growth is like a coin with two sides: excitement and fear. Entrepreneurs need to normalize fear as a regular part of their journey. Committing to a bigger future goal naturally brings up fear about whether you can achieve it. Real growth requires pursuing something more exciting—and more challenging—than what you've done before. Many people lose their ambition because they're stopped by the fear that comes with it. Entrepreneurs are driven to ensure their future is bigger than their past. Status-seeking entrepreneurs focus on external markers of success while growth-oriented entrepreneurs measure success internally, by their own progress. It takes courage for entrepreneurs to keep moving. Expect failure along the way—it's part of the growth process. For growth-minded entrepreneurs, fear isn't a necessary evil; it's a necessary resource. Stopping growth means losing the new capabilities that come with it. When you stop growing, you may feel uneasy about others who continue to grow. For status-seekers, ambition is a destination; for growth-seekers, it's a capability to develop. Growth-oriented entrepreneurs compare themselves only to who they used to be, not to others.  Resources: The 4 C's Formula by Dan Sullivan

The New York Times finally admitted Israel is carrying out a genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, in an article by an Israeli scholar who studies the Holocaust. A United Nations report detailed how US corporations are profiting from these crimes, although the Trump administration responded by imposing sanctions on the UN expert who exposed it, Francesca Albanese.

In this episode of the Engineering our Future Podcast, Nicolai and I pull back the curtain on something they don't teach you in engineering school - just how wildly diverse your career path can become! Remember when we all thought we'd spend our lives buried in calculations? That narrow view quickly changes once you're in the field. We explore everything from the technical specialist route to project management, sales, operations, and even unexpected paths like what I'm doing now - podcasting and entrepreneurship.Nicolai shares some fascinating stories about engineers who made complete career 180s (including one that had me thinking "why didn't I try that?"), proving that it's never too late to pivot if something sparks your interest. We dig into which skills actually open doors - both technical foundations and those crucial "soft skills" that engineering programs barely mention.

California Man Allegedly Murdered Neighbors Over $1 Hot Dog Dispute at Nudist Ranch REDLANDS, Calif. — A 62-year-old man has been charged with two counts of murder after allegedly beating his neighbors to death and dismembering their bodies—an act prosecutors say was sparked by a perceived insult involving a hot dog. Michael Royce Sparks is accused of killing Daniel and Stephanie Menard, a longtime couple who lived near him at the Olive Dell Nudist Ranch in Redlands. The San Bernardino County District Attorney's Office announced the charges Tuesday, which also include two special circumstance allegations for committing multiple murders. Sparks' arraignment is set for Wednesday. According to Detective Thomas Williams, Sparks confided to a fellow inmate that his deadly outburst began when Daniel Menard bought him a hot dog. Sparks reportedly believed the $1 snack was a slight against his worth, telling the inmate he felt it was a “jab” at him. “He said that's what set him off,” Williams testified during a Monday hearing. Sparks then allegedly went outside and struck Daniel in the head until “his head caved in.” When Stephanie Menard ran out screaming, Sparks reportedly attacked both victims with a rake, hoe, and hammer, according to the detective's account of Sparks' jailhouse confession. The Menards were reported missing on Sunday, August 25, after failing to show up for church. Their neighbor, Irene Ingkref, said the couple had lived at their property for decades and were last seen around 10 a.m. the day before. When investigators arrived, they found the Menards' vehicle down the road—unlocked, keys inside—and both of their cell phones and Mrs. Menard's purse left behind in the home. Their dog, Cuddles, remains missing. At first, authorities treated the case as a missing persons investigation. Over the next four days, police and volunteers scoured the rugged terrain surrounding the nudist community. But the case took a grim turn on August 29 when a former coworker and a relative in Minnesota reported receiving alarming texts from Sparks. Gale Heidelberg, a dispatcher at a diesel repair shop where Sparks once worked as a truck driver, testified that she reached out after seeing news coverage. She texted, “I am watching the news. Something going on where you live. Are you in town?” Sparks replied, “It's me. Committing suicide today. Take care. Bye.” When she pressed him for clarification, Sparks responded chillingly: “Chopped up my neighbors. Didn't know I had it in me. SNAPPED.” Redlands police quickly zeroed in on Sparks' trailer at Space 43. Detective Laurel Shearer testified that a foul odor was already emanating from the property. Officers tried to contact Sparks, who refused to come out. Redlands police ultimately used a tractor to dismantle the trailer. Inside, officers found Sparks hiding in a bunker with a long rifle. He attempted to take his own life, but the gun jammed. When asked where the Menards were and if they needed help, Sparks allegedly replied, “They're underneath the trailer… they don't need help,” before adding, “They're in pieces.” Authorities later confirmed they discovered human remains and additional evidence tied to the crime, though the coroner is still working to officially identify the bodies. During Tuesday's press conference, Redlands Police Chief Rachel Tolber emphasized the collaborative effort between law enforcement and the community in locating the missing couple and bringing the case forward. District Attorney Jason Anderson said his office is confident in pursuing the charges, stating, “You don't get a free murder. We believe Mr. Sparks is responsible for both.” If convicted on all charges, including the special circumstances, Sparks could face life in prison without the possibility of parole.

Wippa is going through it right now, as a Father he has to make that choice of loyalty to his favourite club or loyalty to his favourite sport and as usual, Fitzy and Chrissie are no help. It is the eve of our Singles Party and we got a tease of some of the budding romances and finally settled on the first dance song. Lewis Capaldi makes his grand return to the Glastonbury stage after his battles with anxiety, a high profile divorce is being covered on Chrissie's Clickbait and a cringe-worthy Justin Timberlake cover is going viral...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

So, in the part 1 write-up, I referenced this speech class I took in the summer in high school. This is probably the closest in my experiences to doing something like a Project Runway or Top Chef-style reality show–where you are expected to pump out creation after creation on long hours with very little time to recoup or really think through the thing you're making. You're basically just getting a crash course, then expected to pop out some genius.  Unsurprisingly, I don't remember many of the presentations I put together for this class. Except for one. It starts out much like any episode of Project Runway or Top Chef–Heidi or Padma come out to the contestants, say a witty, scripted preamble, then go into the “Challenge” for the day: prepare a dramatic reading, complete with at least one physical prop. Must be at least three minutes in length. You have one day for this challenge. (I do not remember the teacher at all but am willing to bet she was not Heidi Klum or Padma Lakshmi levels of hot–few of us are.) So after sitting through the presentations from whatever nonsense was assigned yesterday, we are released and allowed to go work on what is due tomorrow.  I hear many people joke about snagging a skull from the science department to do Hamlet, in that sort of desperate way where they're trying to gauge how this would land, because no other ideas are coming and they're dying inside. The idea of trying to learn and be able to recite Shakespeare with one evening's worth of prep did not sound appealing. So like many successful competition-based reality show contestants, I thought about what I knew and how I could fit this challenge to it. Like most moody teens from the early 2000s, I did not know Shakespeare. I did not have Robert Frost or Henry David Thoreau committed to the dome. What did I have embedded in my brain? Song lyrics. The metaphorical lightbulb of genius clicked. I knew what I had to do. And what I had to do was walk over to the nearest Walgreens and buy a puzzle.  The next day, presentations began, and we saw a fair amount of fumbling through Hamlet and other Romantic poets. Someone recreated the space landing audio with a toy spaceship. It was a lot of uninspired mediocre dishes. It was a ton of napkin-style mini-dresses in the unconventional materials challenge. I started to panic–either I messed this up royal, or I've done this better than anyone ever has, and I won't know until I volunteer to get up there and present.  I finally get the nerve, go up there, quiet with my unopened puzzle, knowing I only had one shot at this. This was pre 8 Mile coming out, so I couldn't even mom's spaghetti to hype myself up. I just had to commit. What was I committing to? Well, ripping apart the box of a puzzle, throwing pieces around the room for a full minute before reciting the lyrics to Dashboard Confessional's song “This Ruined Puzzle”. I also apparently committed to giving myself a few gnarly cardboard cuts on the stupid box, but…it landed. I got a 100 on the assignment and Padma would've definitely named me the winner of the challenge. Heidi gave me immunity for next week's show, so I'm definitely not getting eliminated. Love that for me. Shout out to Claire from the last writeup, whose feedback included the joke “But not all of the pieces were face down :( ” which is still objectively hilarious, good job Claire.  What does this have to do with part 2 of our 2024 Musical Wrap-up conversation? You have to embrace who you are and let it drive you. If you are an emo teenage dirtbag, Shakespeare doesn't got you, Chris Carrabba does. Also, a healthy dash of chaos and Committing to the Bit ™ always helps. And that's the TLAT way. Enjoy the episode.

When the cost of survival outweighs the cost of death, something has gone deeply wrong. In this sobering and eye-opening episode, Mitch, living with cerebral palsy and chronic pain, shares his harrowing journey through a Canadian healthcare and social system that he argues is failing its disabled citizens. From the challenges of inadequate education and inaccessible post-secondary programs, to the emotional toll of societal stigma and the bureaucratic obstacles in pursuing intimacy, Mitch exposes the gaps that leave many disabled individuals isolated, under-resourced, and overlooked. He bravely discusses everything from systemic failures and addiction to sex work and survival strategies — reminding us how much dignity and independence are shaped by equity, not charity.You can watch this entire episode over on YouTube.Follow Sickboy on Instagram, TikTok and Discord!
