Products often tell you exactly how they're intended to be used. But why leave it at that? As a culture, we have long had a knack for finding ingenious, off-label uses for things. In this episode, we take a close look at a few examples of products that are ostensibly meant for one thing, but are better known for something else entirely. We explore Q-tips, which we are explicitly told not to put into our ears; the Hitachi Magic Wand, the iconic sex toy marketed as a body massager; the musical washboard; and the children's electrolyte solution Pedialyte that many adults swear by as a hangover cure. You'll hear from Hallie Lieberman, author of Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy; Jacqui Barnett of the Columbus Washboard Company; Christopher Wilson, curator and chair of the Division of Home and Community Life at the Smithsonian; musician and educator Súle Greg Wilson; zydeco musicians C.J. Chenier and Steve Nash; Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, author of Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure; as well as writers Roberto Ferdman, Dan Brooks, and Kaitlyn Tiffany. Decoder Ring is produced by Willa Paskin, Max Freedman, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. We had additional production from Sofie Kodner.

Roy L Hales/Cortes currents - What does it mean to be a neighbour on Cortes Island? This question is at the heart of the new Cortes Island Museum exhibition 'Won't You Be My Neighbour?' curated by Melanie Boyle, Managing Director of the museum and Monica Hoffman. Opening Sunday May 4th the exhibit invites visitors on a visual and narrative journey through both the historical and contemporary communities that shaped life on the island. “The  idea of focusing on neighbourhoods came from the prior exhibition, ‘From the Ground Up,” explained Hoffman. Boyle added, “We did touch on how people work together to build structures, in terms of collaboration.  It was also about repurposing material and sharing of resources and, in a way, this is also what this new exhibition is about. Collective land arrangements are a way for people to live affordably on Cortes, to share  the land, but also to share the material, resources and work collaboratively. So there's a lot of overlap.”  Monica Hoffman: “This is about those very focused areas on the island, such as Tiber Bay, Blue Jay Lake, or Siskin Lane - that sort of community, and what it means to be a neighbour is all about.”  Cortes Currents: It is also about the definition of ‘community,' in all its manifestations from the pioneer era to modern times, from ‘communal groupings' to individual dwellings. Monica Hoffman: “A focal point for this exhibition is this north facing wall where we have a map of Cortes Island. We focus on various communities and give a little bit of commentary and interviews  with  the shareholders and the landholders. Some of these we did look at briefly in the prior exhibition, but this allows there to be a bit more space and more opportunity to explore them more.”  Melanie Boyle: “Monica's right, this wall is a little microcosm of the community itself. It's a reference to all the voices that make this exhibition happen. This exhibition stemmed  from an interview we did during the last exhibition with Amy Robertson, who is one of the co-founders of Treedom. Jill Milton and Bernice McGowan interviewed Paul Kirmmse, who is one of the co-founders of Redlands.  We spoke with Ron Bazaar. Jim Murphy came into the museum and spoke about Tiber Bay.  We also interviewed Ron Wolda, more to do with the mill itself. I know Ron from selling the spoons  as a craftsperson and I didn't know his ties to Vancouver, the business community and now Tiber Bay.”  Monica Hoffman: “I didn't know where that Tiber Bay connection started.”   Melanie Boyle: “It was serendipity and people looking at that particular time for options to live on Cortes or just live on the coast.  Land comes available  and  they organize a bunch of people to get together to purchase the land. Everwoods came out of discussions that were happening at Hollyhock at the time.” “We respect the fact that these are the co-ops and collaborative living arrangements on Cortes, of people who are willing to actually share their story.  We only can profile a small handful. There are people who choose to remain private and we respect that, of course, but these would be ones that are publicly known.” 

Co-Hosts: Steve Macchia & Matt Scott “We are to be like the Trinity and model our lives accordingly.” —Steve Macchia  The perfect church is a misnomer. But what if there was such a thing as a perfect community? The relationship within the Triune God (Father, Son, and Spirit) is indeed, the perfect community. Beginning with a conversation around the life of the Trinity, Season 35 of The Discerning Leader podcast explores the essentials of spiritual community.  In episode 01, Steve and Matt invite the listener to consider what it looks like for fellow pilgrims on a commonly shared journey to share life together.  Join the conversation about spiritual discernment as a way of life at www.LeadershipTransformations.org and consider participation in our online and in-person program offerings. Additional LTI spiritual formation resources can be found at www.SpiritualFormationStore.com and www.ruleoflife.com and www.healthychurch.net.

Could you help me understand what Dan was getting at by mentioning those cities and how they're connected to the passage?”"At the end of the sermon Dan prayed in the name of The Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

We are re-engaging with the sermon series we started in September on 1 Corinthians to coincide with our school year theme of "Choosing Unity". You and I both know how polarized our world is right now and how much more fractured it can become in an election season. We have lost the ability to really listen to one another. We take sides. We take positions and, let's be honest, sometimes we forget why. Now more than ever the Church has a responsibility to be bridge builders and peacemakers in our community. This week, our Director of Community Life, Evan Gratz, shares how our language known as "Christianese" can get in the way of loving people around us. We pursue love and intimacy with God, but fail to share those experiences with peoplke in a way they can understand.  Passage: 1 Corinthians 14:1-12 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

True community reflects the heart of Jesus—it’s about showing up, being vulnerable, and carrying each other’s burdens. Life isn’t meant to be lived alone, and real connection happens when we move beyond surface-level interactions and embrace authentic relationships. Jesus calls us to a love that stands out—a love that forgives freely, sacrifices selflessly, and welcomes unconditionally. When we love as Jesus loves, it not only transforms our relationships but also reveals his presence to the world. References: The U.S. Surgeon General’s Study on Loneliness – Loneliness has severe health effects, equating social isolation to smoking 15 cigarettes a day and having a greater impact on health than obesity or physical inactivity. “You cannot follow Jesus alone. Not should not, but cannot.” - John Mark Comer “God’s family is meant to be the show-and-tell of what true belonging and love look like.” - Adele Calhoun TRANSCRIPT

In this episode, Pastor Nic sits down with Jill Reasa, director of High Point Church's Oaks ministry, and talks about the ethics of information sharing within a church community. They explore how church leaders should handle sensitive personal information, focusing on balancing the need for appropriate disclosure with maintaining confidentiality and discretion. The conversation covers various aspects of pastoral care, including when and how to share information up the church's leadership hierarchy, the differences between gossip and necessary disclosure, and the importance of having proper confidants and reporting structures. They emphasize that while the church aims to keep sensitive information within the smallest necessary circle, certain situations require broader disclosure for the safety and wellbeing of both individuals and the congregation. The discussion also delves into biblical principles regarding speech, confrontation, and church discipline, while addressing modern psychological concepts and mandatory reporting requirements. Throughout the conversation, they stress that the goal is to handle information in ways that promote healing and spiritual growth while maintaining trust and protecting both vulnerable individuals and the broader church community.

Welcome to episode #960 of Six Pixels of Separation - The ThinkersOne Podcast. It's not every day you get to sit down with someone who has shaped your professional life in such a profound way. I've known Seth Godin for nearly two decades. While I wouldn't say we're the kind of friends who text each other about weekend plans, there's a kinship that comes from two people who respect the craft of ideas, the power of language, and the art of making things better for others. Over the years, Seth has been a generous mentor - not in a formal sense, but in the way his words, books, and insights have seeped into the cracks of my thinking, slowly but surely changing how I approach my own work. Seth's latest book, This Is Strategy - Make Better Plans (Create a Strategy to Elevate Your Career, Community & Life), feels like a culmination of his ethos. If you've read his work before, you know his magic lies in making the complicated feel clear, the overwhelming feel doable, and the intimidating feel… well, fun. This book is no different. It's a map, not just for businesses trying to navigate a tricky economy or professionals angling for that next promotion, but for anyone looking to build something meaningful - whether it's a company, a community, or a life. And here's the thing: Seth doesn't just teach strategy; he lives it. From the outside, it might seem like his career has been one unbroken string of successes - best-selling books, a groundbreaking blog, iconic projects like The Marketing Seminar and altMBA. But what he really teaches us, and what I've seen firsthand, is that strategy is about persistence, adaptability, and the willingness to say, “I made this,” even when you're not sure how it will land. In this conversation, we went deep into not just the mechanics of strategy but the mindset behind it. Seth has this uncanny ability to get you to question your assumptions while making you feel like you're capable of anything. It's a rare kind of mentoring, and I think you'll feel it too when you listen to this episode. So, if you're someone who's wrestling with what's next - whether it's a project, a career move, or just a better way to spend your days - I hope you'll carve out some time for this one. Seth has this way of reminding you that strategy isn't about being clever; it's about being clear. And clarity? That's something we could all use more of. Enjoy the conversation...

What if the key to a harmonious society lies in the ancient practices of early Christians? In this captivating episode, Joseph Macolino returns to unravel his vision of voluntary Christian communities, inspired by the communal living described in the Book of Acts. Picture a world where cooperation replaces coercion, and rulers are a thing of the past. Joseph paints a vivid picture: "Imagine a society where bartering goods and services is the norm, and conflicts are resolved through conversation, not force." We journey into the realm of fantasy with Joseph's book series set in Everath, where Marfta Port exemplifies a voluntary community. This fictional world serves as a powerful allegory for how Christians might live peacefully today. Joseph shares, "Through Marfta Port, I wanted to show that a different way of living is possible—one where faith and community go hand in hand." The discussion deepens as Craig and Joseph tackle the nuances of Christian pacifism. They explore the idea that pacifism doesn't equate to passivity. This thought-provoking dialogue challenges listeners to reconsider their views on self-defense and retaliation. But what about the inevitable challenges of community living? Joseph candidly addresses potential pitfalls, such as dealing with bad actors, emphasizing, "Open communication and shared values are crucial to overcoming these hurdles." This episode is a compelling invitation to rethink societal norms and explore the transformative power of faith-based communities. Are you ready to question the status quo and envision a new way of living?

Are you confident in your strategy or just following a plan? In this episode, Kevin is joined by Seth Godin, and they examine the difference between strategy and tactics, the importance of addressing choices, and why leaders should embrace uncertainty to stay relevant. Seth emphasizes that strategy is not just a step-by-step plan but a philosophy of becoming. He shares his insights on systems thinking, how organizations often mistake marketing issues for strategy problems, and why traditional notions of strategic planning may be outdated. Kevin and Seth also discuss the impact of AI on decision-making, strategies for leading amidst uncertainty, and how we can leverage new tools like AI to make our strategies better.

We are beginning a new sermon series on 1 Corinthians to coincide with our school year theme of "Choosing Unity". You and I both know how polarized our world is right now and how much more fractured it can become in an election season. We have lost the ability to really listen to one another. We take sides. We take positions and, let's be honest, sometimes we forget why. Now more than ever the Church has a responsibility to be bridge builders and peacemakers in our community. This week, our Director of Community Life, Evan Gratz examines how the Apostle Paul was not an eloquent speaker, but God spoke through him anyway. In fact, sometimes our gifts get in the way of God using us. Passage: 1 Corinthians 2:1-5 We have three worship opportunities for you to experience: 9:00 a.m. - Sanctuary Service 9:30 a.m. - Online Service 10:30 a.m. - Chapel Service  Please consider joining us for one of these services.  To view past worship services along with other digital content, go to our Youtube Channel @PointLomaChurchOnline.  To get involved in what God is doing within our community, please visit our website at www.pointlomachurch.org.

Acts chapter two says this about the first Christian church, "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and fellowship, to the breaking of bread and prayer. And many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles." Today, Ron returns to the book of Acts to give us a glimpse into the life of the early church, and to encourage us to uphold the original tenets upon which it was founded.  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support

Acts chapter two is one of the most exciting passages in all of Scripture. The supernatural birth of the church. The first sermon ever preached in the church age, in which three thousand people came to faith in Christ. And then there's a brief passage that explains what we now know as the five purposes of the church. That's where Ron is headed today as he continues his teaching series, “AD: Acts of the Apostles.”  --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/something-good-radio/support
