https://newsongpeople.com/messages/immersed-in-scriptureImmersed in Scripture // Hearing God Series // Pastor Sarah BlountJesus didn't just know Scripture—He lived it. Every word He spoke, every choice He made, every step He took flowed from deep communion with His Father. In this message, we'll uncover Jesus's daily rhythms for hearing God clearly—through prayer, Scripture immersion, and intentional time in God's presence.1. Immersion & EncounterPurpose: Help members recognize the difference between reading for information vs. transformation.Leader Tips:Ask for examples of times they've read Scripture and felt personally met by God.Encourage them to be honest if Bible reading feels more like a checklist—this creates room for practical ideas.Follow up with: What's one change you could make to your approach this week to read expectantly?2. Memorization & MeditationPurpose: Help people reflect on which part of their engagement with Scripture is strong and which needs growth.Leader Tips:Briefly explain each phrase from Kevin DeYoung:_Submitting your will = Letting Scripture set your priorities._Committing your brain = Learning it deeply, understanding context._Humbling your heart = Being ready to obey even when it's hard.Ask them to pick one area to strengthen and share a practical step—e.g., choosing one verse to memorize this week.3. Response & SupplicationPurpose: Connect Bible engagement to life application and prayer.Leader Tips:Encourage them to think of even small ways Scripture has moved them to action—like a phone call, an apology, or a praise prayer.Ask the group to commit to one specific response from their Bible reading this week.Offer to follow up next time with a quick “How did it go?” so there's gentle accountability.#HearingGod #NewSongChurch #FriendsTalk #John15 #HearingGodsVoice #Faith #BibleTeaching #SpiritualGrowth #ChristianLiving #JesusIsSpeaking #YouCanHearGod #HearingGod #SpeakLord #VoiceOfGod #LivingWord #PrayerAndPresence #SpiritLed #FaithComesByHearing #WalkWithJesus #EveryWordMatters #ScriptureSpeaks #JesusAtTheCenter.

Get Charles Derber Book here: https://www.taylorfrancis.com/books/mono/10.4324/9781003491798/bonfire-charles-derber In his new book, eminent sociologist and prolific author, Charles Derber, argues that American capitalism is pushing us toward social death and authoritarianism   In BONFIRE: AMERICAN SOCIOCIDE, BROKEN RELATIONS, AND THE QUEST FOR DEMOCRACY (Routledge, June 6, 2025, paperback and hardcover), Charles Derber warns that American society may be in its death throes. The threat of what sociologists called “sociocide”—a society in which human connection has been largely severed and individuals are only concerned for themselves—looms larger than ever in this age of hyper-alienating neo-liberal capitalism. “A sociocidal society is one whose sociopathy is intensifying into new and more dangerous forms, with family, friendship, community, and broad civil society breaking down so widely and rapidly that the actual self-destruction of the society is possible,” writes Derber. When social connections unravel, strongmen politicians and demagogues find fertile ground. The success of Trump and his MAGA movement show how authoritarianism can take root in a society that no longer values the “we.” In the absence of the social connections that foster collective action, empathy, and a sense of belonging, economic shocks and anxieties can encourage citizens welcoming autocratic regimes and their empty promises of a bright future.   Check out our new bi-weekly series, "The Crisis Papers" here: https://www.patreon.com/bitterlakepresents/shop   Thank you guys again for taking the time to check this out.

The number of international human rights organizations, genocide scholars, public officials, and UN representatives making this assertion continues to grow. Now, two well-respected Israeli human rights groups have released reports concluding that Israel is committing genocide. One is B'Tselem, the Israeli Center for Human Rights in the Occupied Territories. The other, Physicians for Human Rights Israel, issued a report titled "Destruction of Conditions of Life: A Health Analysis of the Gaza Genocide," which focuses on the dismantling of Gaza's healthcare and other life-sustaining systems. Aseel Aburass, Director of the Occupied Territories Department at Physicians for Human Rights Israel, discussed the findings that led to the report's genocide determination.

In this powerful episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we meet Tia Banks—a former professional basketball player turned mountaineer and certified resilience expert. Based in Texas, Tia is on a bold mission to climb all seven volcanic summits, one on each continent, using her journey as a platform to inspire strength, courage, and mental resilience. Her love for adventure began with Mount Kilimanjaro in 2021, where she faced illness, doubt, and the ultimate test of her mindset on summit night. But for Tia, mountaineering is more than reaching the top—it's about how we speak to ourselves in tough moments, how we dig deep when we want to give up, and how we “climb our own mountains” in life. In this episode, Tia opens up about her early years in sport, the “suck it up” mentality, the importance of positive self-talk, and her commitment to empowering young people through adventure therapy and her non-profit initiative, Summit Saturday. If you're looking for a dose of motivation to keep pushing through your own challenges—or to finally try something you've never dared before—Tia's story will light the fire.  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

Pastor Scott Silcox exposes the strategies of spiritual warfare that attack God's vision and reveals how to protect the church's mission with Nehemiah-like courage and determination.• Standing at the threshold of opening Kingdom Heights school after less than a year of vision• Recognizing that God's vision will cost you – spiritually, emotionally, financially • Identifying three enemy spirits that attack vision: Sanballat (mockery), Tobiah (internal sabotage), and Geshem (external intimidation)• Understanding how the mocking spirit manifests as sarcastic skepticism that undermines vision with phrases like "we've never done it that way before"• Recognizing the undermining insider who smiles in meetings but sows division through private conversations and passive resistance• Identifying external intimidation that comes through cultural pressure and accusations of being "too radical"• Following Nehemiah's response: staying focused, posting guards, praying and acting simultaneously• Becoming either a builder or a backer - both are needed to advance God's kingdom vision• Committing to build something eternal that impacts future generationsIf you feel called to be part of what God is doing through our church, visit our website to learn how you can serve and support Kingdom Heights and our other ministries.

Sunday evening message from Pastor Jonathan Barber. August 3, 2025

Welcome to the final week of our Hidden Gems series! Today, Pastor Sarah from our Maui Campus brings a powerful and practical message titled "Committing to God's Path" — a timely reminder that God's promises are found when we trust His direction over our own understanding. Life is full of decisions. But when we commit our plans, steps, and motives to the Lord, Scripture tells us He will direct, watch over, and establish our path. Key Scriptures: Proverbs 3:5–6 | Proverbs 16:3, 9, 18 | Psalm 121:1–4 | James 1:5 | Psalm 119:105 | Psalm 37:5 In this message, you'll learn: – Promise 1: God will direct your paths – Promise 2: God will watch over your journey – Promise 3: God will establish your steps — firm, stable, and lasting – Practical ways to stay committed to God's direction every day “The heart of man plans his way, but the Lord establishes his steps.” — Proverbs 16:9 “Trust in the Lord with all your heart… and He will make your paths straight.” — Proverbs 3:5–6 7 Practical Ways to Stay Committed: – Watch your motives – Seek wise counsel – Wait on the Lord – Trust God's wisdom over your own – Arrest pride – Use Scripture as your guide – Write out your commitment Final Thought: God isn't asking for perfect plans — He's asking for surrendered hearts. What would change if you stopped trusting your own path and fully committed your steps to Him this week?

I don't have a personality and I don't need one. It's absolutely fine.I lost a friend, who wasn't a friend, after I decided not to pay for her movie ticket, popcorn and drink, while I just ordered a popcorn. And I reminded myself, I'm okay. People can come and go. I'm ok. I will remain myself, and overthinking relationships that didn't work out is not the way I want to live my life. I want to live forward.Committing to:One hour of reading a day5-10 cold calls a day (during work days)2-3 Muay Thai classes a week2-3 hours a day of work on my business

Just 15 per cent of private investment in Australia went to startup teams with at least one female founder in 2024.Through this limited Women's Agenda series, we're exploring solutions for actually closing this gap -- solutions that go beyond "fixing" women.In Part 1, we got to some of the issues facing female founders as well as founders from diverse backgrounds.Now in Part 2, we're getting started on solutions: starting with those who typically hold access to capital: Venture Capitalists!Venture capitalists, or VCs, are investment decision makers, and it's a profession that is typically dominated by men, and continues to lack cultural diversity.This matters when it comes to what's driving the gender gap in private investment, and it matters in terms of what we can solve as a country.In this episode, we learn some of the ideas available for shifting the balance: especially some of the "low hanging fruit" options that are easily available to VCs, that legitimately want to be a part of the solution. This series, What We Could Solve, is hosted by Angela Priestley, produced by Allison Ho, and published by Agenda Media, also the publisher of Women's Agenda.You can find more on this series and our guests at Women's Agenda.

After Dark with Hosts Rob & Andrew – Hamas blocks humanitarian aid from reaching starving Palestinians in Gaza, while Israel initiates daily pauses to increase aid deliveries.

Audree shares her powerful journey from carrying overwhelming guilt and shame over past mistakes to finding complete freedom in Christ and learning that God's love transcends our darkest moments.• Growing up under a controlling father who ruled the family with a strict, dictatorial approach• Running away from home at 17 and facing an unplanned pregnancy without support• Choosing abortion and carrying the heavy burden of guilt for two decades• Joining the military, getting married, and struggling with postpartum depression• Committing adultery during a difficult period and almost destroying her marriage• Facing her father's cancer diagnosis and death while dealing with marital crisis• Finding a church community where she could ask questions and learn about God's grace• Getting baptized and experiencing a transformative moment of freedom• Sharing her testimony publicly and watching how her vulnerability helped others heal• Understanding that one in four women have had abortions and many carry hidden pain"I no longer had to carry the guilt and the shame and the unforgiveness for myself, the condemnation, all of it. It just fell away."

“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.

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.

Greer, we get into the nitty gritty of the thought processes, ideas, and attitudes that shape her work and her identity. We talked about:- Pushing your creative boundaries to try new genres and forms- How she gets through the discomfort of sharing personal work, and the payoff that comes on the other side- Committing to telling the full story, even when you're not the ‘hero'- The really cool and skillful way Sheree collaborates with her inner critic- Getting to that “raw space of feeling” so you can tell your story from the heart, and not the head (at least at first)- Taking care of your body in a sedentary profession- Knowing when to follow standard writing advice, and when to let it go- Releasing the idea that any one thing will happen and then you will have “made it”- How she's radically changed her idea of success as she's gotten older Connect with Sheree on Instagram @shereelgreer.

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. If you've ever felt stuck in your career or wondered what other options exist beyond your current role, this conversation might just be the permission slip you need to explore new territory. Press play to discover how your engineering degree could take you places you never imagined!Timestamps:* 00:00:00 - Welcome* 00:01:27 - Exploring common career paths: Technical roles, project management, sales, operations, and more in engineering.* 00:03:23 - Personal gravitations and early career insights: Luis on shifting toward project management.* 00:05:43 - Beyond traditional paths: Opportunities in teaching, government, business ownership, content creation, and leveraging engineering skills creatively.* 00:06:05 - Strategies for career progression: The importance of early focus, observing mentors, and navigating the challenging 7-12 year transition.* 00:08:03 - Stories of career pivots: Examples of switching from operations to project management later in one's career.* 00:10:07 - Trying different paths: The value of internships, curiosity, and exposure without full responsibility.* 00:13:26 - Building T-shaped knowledge: Depth in your specialty with breadth across disciplines, inspired by the book ‘Range.'* 00:16:15 - The role of experts vs. generalists: Balancing specialized technical skills with wider project awareness.* 00:18:30 - Key skills for success: Communication, time management, humility, curiosity, and planning ahead.* 00:21:18 - Embracing lifelong learning and flexibility: Committing to daily discoveries and adapting to new interests.* 00:23:50 - Closing thoughts and resourcesKey Lessons Learned:* Challenge early misconceptions: Many enter engineering thinking it's all calculations, but paths like project management offer client interaction and team leadership—reflect on what excites you beyond the technical.* Embrace pivots at any stage: Careers aren't linear; observe mentors and gain exposure early to identify passions, as seen in stories of mid-career shifts from operations to client-focused roles.* Develop T-shaped knowledge: Build deep expertise in your niche (e.g., bridge design) while gaining broad awareness of related fields like hydraulics or construction to communicate effectively and contribute holistically.* Prioritize curiosity and humility: Ask questions in meetings, seek mentorship, and be a sponge—learning without full responsibility accelerates growth and helps spot opportunities.* Commit to lifelong learning: The real education begins after graduation; focus on skills like communication, time management, and adaptability to navigate transitions and stay fulfilled.* Plan with flexibility: In your first 5-7 years, solidify technical foundations, then zoom out to see how projects interconnect—humility in curiosity can lead to unexpected, rewarding directions.Resources Mentioned:* Book: ‘Range' by David Epstein – Explores why generalists thrive in a specialized world, perfect for understanding the value of broad skills in engineering.* Newsletter – Subscribe at luisfelipeduque.com/newsletter for episode insights, action items, and career reflections.* Contact and Connect – Have questions or suggestions?
