A steward is a trusted manager, an overseer over another person's affairs or goods. Amazingly, those who are born again are named “stewards of the mysteries of God.” What a holy charge! What a weighty responsibility! What a blessed privilege! But what are these divine, heaven-sent mysteries that we are called to protect, to preserve, and to proclaim? We can only be good stewards if we fully recognize our responsibilities.

Every religion's name reveals an important insight into that belief system, either its founder, or a primary concept its followers embrace, or both. Surprisingly, these names often speak of longings common to all sincere seekers the truth, regardless of the faith they embrace. What mystery does that reveal?

Understanding Corporate Liability: Navigating the Complexities of Modern AccountabilityIn today's rapidly evolving business landscape, understanding corporate liability is more crucial than ever. As companies grow in size and complexity, the challenge of holding them accountable for their actions becomes increasingly intricate. This blog post explores the key concepts of corporate liability, insider trading, and the evolving frameworks of accountability.The Puzzle of Corporate AccountabilityImagine a world where a giant corporation commits a crime, such as fraud or bribery. Who pays the price? Is it the CEO, the board, or the company itself? This question lies at the heart of corporate liability, a concept that has evolved significantly over the years. The traditional legal frameworks, such as the identification doctrine, often fall short in addressing the complexities of modern corporations.The Identification Doctrine: A Narrow ApproachThe identification doctrine, a cornerstone of UK corporate law, requires prosecutors to prove that the company's "directing mind and will" was responsible for the crime. This approach, while theoretically sound, often fails in practice, especially in large corporations with complex hierarchies. The case of Barclays in 2018 highlights this gap, where charges against the company were dismissed due to the inability to pinpoint the directing mind.Respondeat Superior: The Broad US ApproachIn contrast, the US model of respondeat superior holds companies liable for the actions of their employees, provided they acted within the scope of their employment. This broad approach ensures accountability but raises questions about fairness, especially when companies have robust compliance programs in place.The Middle Ground: Failure to Prevent ModelEmerging as a middle ground is the "failure to prevent" model, which shifts the burden of proof onto companies. Under this model, companies are guilty unless they can demonstrate reasonable procedures to prevent the crime. This approach is gaining traction, particularly in addressing economic crimes and ensuring companies take proactive measures to prevent wrongdoing.The Role of ESG and AI in Modern AccountabilityAs we move into an era dominated by environmental, social, and governance (ESG) concerns, the landscape of corporate accountability is shifting. Companies are now expected to consider their broader impact on society and the environment. Additionally, the rise of artificial intelligence introduces new challenges in attributing liability, as algorithms make increasingly complex decisions.Redefining Corporate ResponsibilityThe old rules of corporate liability are being rewritten to address the realities of modern business. As we navigate this new landscape, the challenge lies in redefining what it means for a corporation to be responsible. The future of corporate accountability will depend on our ability to adapt legal frameworks to the complexities of global systems and AI-driven decision-making.Subscribe NowStay informed about the latest developments in corporate law and accountability. TakeawaysUnderstanding corporate liability is essential for legal exams.Corporations act through individuals, complicating accountability.The U.S. model allows broad corporate liability through respondent superior.The U.K. model requires proof of a directing mind for liability.Comparative models like Canada's and Australia's offer broader accountability.Failure to prevent offenses shift the burden to corporations.Individual accountability is crucial in corporate crime cases.Sentencing often ignores the financial impact on shareholders.ESG factors are increasingly influencing corporate liability.The legal landscape is evolving with technology and AI implications.corporate liability, attribution, respondent superior, identification doctrine, compliance, ESG, corporate governance, individual accountability, sentencing, legal frameworks

The solution for the fallen condition of the human race is not rehabilitation; it's recreation! Only in Christianity is this offered. “If anyone is in Christ, he is A NEW CREATION” (2 Cor. 5:17). In the New Covenant, God gives His offspring “a new spirit” and a “new heart.” From that point forward the “inward man” is “renewed” (made new all over again) every moment of every day. Wow!

Is it necessary to confess your sins to a priest to properly obtain forgiveness? The Catholic Church says “Yes!” Did the early church practice the sacrament of Confession? If not, when did this tradition begin? Is it biblical or heretical? Have major passages of Scripture been misinterpreted to support this practice?

The Gospel COMPARATIVE is an innovative new book that enables anyone to read all 4 gospels simultaneously as one story. This is done in a clear, easy-to-read design that presents all four of the canonical gospels at the same time. Additionally, it provides a side-by-side, line-by-line comparative that seamlessly integrates with the storytelling process. Several things combine to make the design of this book quite unique. For example each 2- page spread is viewed and read as a whole. This is visually explained on the Introduction Page. And just like a movie script, the story is crafted into scenes. This way it provides the fullest possible content, while creating the complete picture for each and every scene. This alone, makes it more accessible to everybody. Next is the stripped-down approach, which uses only the original text. From there the story is simply laid out in a way that follows the timeline progressively. This layout allows all four versions to live side-by-side; duplicating in each account where they will and standing alone where they will. This years-long effort by editor Michael Degnan was inspired by his professional experience of helping corporations and people tell their stories. In Michael's eyes, the Gospels are nothing if not the weaving together of a great story. On this episode of Common Threads, Fred and Michael discuss the benefits of reading Scripture in this manner.

Martin Luther was a passionate, soul-searching, truth-seeking Catholic monk who could never feel right with God. Because of the rigors of monastic life, he confessed he went through, “such anguish as no pen can describe.” But then the glorious day came when God spoke to him profoundly from Romans 1:17—“THE JUST shall live by faith”—and everything changed. Yes, this simple four-letter name for God's people launched the Reformation and the impact is still being felt.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Dr. Kelly Makielski and Dr. Jaime Modiano from the University of Minnesota join us on OsteoBites to discuss comparative extracellular vesicle (EV) biomarkers for osteosarcoma risk and prognosis.They are investigating extracellular vesicle (EV) transcriptomic profiles as minimally invasive biomarkers in canine and pediatric osteosarcoma in two ongoing studies. In the Canine Osteosarcoma Early Detection (COED) study, they are sequencing EV RNA from otherwise healthy dogs in breeds at elevated risk of osteosarcoma to identify gene signatures for the early detection and risk assessment of osteosarcoma. In parallel, they are conducting the KIDsCAN study, where we are sequencing EVs from pediatric osteosarcoma patients to identify prognostic signatures that could ultimately guide treatment intensity, aiming to minimize long-term therapy-associated morbidity without negatively impacting survival. Preliminary results from COED will be shared, along with how their comparative approach is helping to guide the KIDsCAN study.Kelly M. Makielski, DVM, DACVIM (SAIM) is an Assistant Professor of Small Animal Internal Medicine at the University of Minnesota College of Veterinary Medicine and Masonic Cancer Center. Her research focuses on extracellular vesicle (EV) biology and comparative oncology, using naturally occurring cancers in dogs to inform human cancer biology and treatment. She is the recipient of an NIH K01 investigating EV–based biomarkers for osteosarcoma prognosis in pediatric osteosarcoma, to guide personalized therapy and reduce treatment-related morbidity.Dr. Jaime Modiano holds the Alvin and June Perlman Endowed Chair of Animal Oncology and is director of the Animal Cancer Care and Research Program of the College of Veterinary Medicine and the Masonic Cancer Center, University of Minnesota. He completed his training through the Veterinary Medical Scientist Training Program (VMD, PhD) at the University of Pennsylvania, and he followed it with a residency in Clinical Pathology at Colorado State University and a post-doctoral fellowship at the National Jewish Center for Immunology and Respiratory Medicine. Before joining the University of Minnesota, he served on the faculties of Texas A&M University and the University of Colorado Health Sciences Center. Dr. Modiano has also worked in the private sector, as founder of several start-up companies, and as Director of Cancer Immunology and Immunotherapy for the Donald Monk Cancer Research Foundation. Through his research, Dr. Modiano seeks to understand how and why cancer happens and to develop strategies for improving the health and well-being of companion animals and humans alike.

In this episode of Curing with Sound, we explore a groundbreaking approach to one of medicine's toughest cancers, glioblastoma (GBM), with Michael Canney, PhD, Chief Scientific Officer at Carthera. GBM is the most aggressive form of brain cancer, notoriously hard to treat because the blood-brain barrier (BBB) blocks many life-saving drugs from reaching tumor cells. With survival rates of just one to two years, new approaches are urgently needed. Dr. Canney shares how Carthera's SonoCloud-9, an implantable, therapeutic ultrasound device, temporarily opens the BBB and enhances the delivery of circulating drugs to the brain. He also discusses the SONOBIRD clinical trial, comparing the use of Carthera's SonoCloud-9 device combined with chemotherapy to standard-of-care therapies in patients with recurrent GBM. Discussion highlights: Phase III SONOBIRD Trial: The largest clinical trial in Carthera's history, enrolling 560 patients across the United States and Europe. The trial's goal is to demonstrate a survival advantage for patients with recurrent GBM when BBB opening is combined with the delivery of carboplatin chemotherapy, as compared with standard of care. Revolutionizing Drug Delivery: How SonoCloud-9 opens the BBB to increase carboplatin concentrations five- to seven-fold, potentially unlocking the full potential of existing cancer drugs that previously couldn't reach brain tumors.

The “third eye” is a mysterious, eerie image of an eye in the middle of the forehead. Does it really exist? Is it the sixth chakra, as Hindus and New Agers claim. If so, what is its function and purpose? Do chakras exist and do they need to be awakened? And the most important question—did Jesus believe in “the third eye” and the other chakras, and did He teach His disciples this mystical concept?Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

“The Circumcision” is a name given to God's New Covenant offspring in Philippians 3:3. Are we the spiritual fulfillment of the natural, Old Covenant rite of circumcision given to Abraham. It was a sign of his covenant with God in ancient days. Is it still a sign now—yet on a much higher level?

It's part 2 of our dive into the Insect Apocalypse, with our good friend Dr. Jason Dombroskie from the Cornell University Insect Collection!In this part, Jason fills us in on the drivers of the Insect Apocalypse and - most importantly - what we can do about it.This episode was recorded on August 21, 2025 at Rattlesnake Hill Wildlife Management Area in Dalton, NY.. Episode NotesDuring the episode, we made the claim that 40 million acres of the US is lawn, and that that area is equal to all of the country's National Parks put together. True? Well, sort of. The claim that the U.S. has about 40 million acres of lawn—roughly equal to all our national parks combined—is only partly true. A NASA-funded study led by Cristina Milesi estimated that turfgrass covers about 128,000 km² (≈31 million acres) of the continental U.S., making it the largest irrigated “crop” in the country (Milesi et al., Environmental Management, 2005; NASA Earth Observatory). Later analyses and popular summaries often round that up to ≈40 million acres (e.g., Scienceline, 2011; LawnStarter, 2023). By comparison, the total land area of all officially designated U.S. National Parks is about 52.4 million acres, while the entire National Park System—which also includes monuments, preserves, and historic sites—covers about 85 million acres (National Park Service, 2024). So while lawns and parks occupy areas of similar magnitude, lawns do not actually equal or exceed the combined area of the national parks. Is it better to mulch leaves on your lawn or leave them be? Here's what we found: It's generally best to mulch your leaves with a mower rather than rake or remove them. Research from Michigan State University found that mowing leaves into small pieces allows them to decompose quickly, returning nutrients to the soil and reducing weeds like dandelions and crabgrass (MSU Extension, “Don't rake leaves — mulch them into your lawn”, 2012). Cornell University studies similarly show that mulched leaves improve soil structure, moisture retention, and microbial activity (Cornell Cooperative Extension, “Leaf Mulching: A Sustainable Alternative”, 2019). However, in garden beds, wooded edges, or under shrubs, it's often better to leave leaves whole, since they provide winter habitat for butterflies, bees, and other invertebrates that overwinter in leaf litter (National Wildlife Federation, “Leave the Leaves for Wildlife”, 2020). The ideal approach is a mix: mow-mulch leaves on grassy areas for turf health and leave them intact where they naturally fall to support biodiversity and soil ecology.

A comprehensive exploration of tort law, focusing on negligence, intent, and strict liability. The discussion delves into the nuances of torts, including the importance of understanding intent in torts versus criminal law, the role of negligence in tort law, and the concept of strict liability. Key cases and examples are used to illustrate these principles, providing valuable insights for law students and professionals.In the intricate world of law, torts stand as a fundamental pillar, shaping the way we understand accountability and justice. This deep dive into tort law unravels the complexities of negligence, intent, and strict liability, offering insights crucial for law students and professionals alike.The Essence of Torts: Torts are not just about memorizing rules; they are about understanding the underlying principles of accountability. As highlighted in the discussion, negligence forms a significant portion of tort law, with 50% of torts questions focusing on this area. Mastering negligence involves understanding duty, breach, causation, and damages, with a keen eye on the nuances of duty and causation.Intent and Its Complexities: Intent in torts differs significantly from criminal law. The discussion emphasizes the importance of distinguishing between specific and general intent, especially in cases like battery and assault. The Villa v. Darul case serves as a perfect illustration of how intent is applied in torts, focusing on the intent for contact rather than the resulting injury.Strict Liability and Its Reach: Strict liability shifts the focus from the defendant's mindset to the nature of the activity or product. Whether it's abnormally dangerous activities or product liability, the principle remains the same: accountability without fault. The discussion also touches on the intriguing overlap of tort concepts, such as applying battery principles to environmental pollution cases.At its core, tort law is about achieving corrective justice, ensuring that those responsible for harm bear the cost. As we navigate the complexities of torts, we must consider how these principles apply to both physical and emotional vulnerabilities, challenging us to think about the future evolution of tort law.Negligence Focus: Negligence constitutes 50% of torts questions, emphasizing the importance of understanding duty, breach, causation, and damages.Intent in Torts vs. Criminal Law: Intent in torts focuses on the contact rather than the resulting injury, differing significantly from criminal law.Transferred Intent: This principle applies to core torts like battery and assault, allowing intent to transfer between victims or torts.Eggshell Plaintiff Rule: Ensures full compensation for physical harm, accounting for the plaintiff's unique vulnerabilities.Comparative Fault Systems: These systems vary by jurisdiction, affecting how damages are calculated based on the plaintiff's fault.Product Liability: Involves understanding manufacturing defects, design defects, and failure to warn, crucial for tort law.TakeawaysTorts are about accountability and corrective justice.Negligence is 50% of torts questions, focusing on duty, breach, causation, and damages.Intent in torts differs from criminal law, focusing on contact rather than injury.Strict liability focuses on the nature of the activity, not the defendant's mindset.Villa v.

Sukkot (the Feast of Tabernacles) is the last of seven Feasts that God instructed the Jews to celebrate annually during the Old Testament era. It is taking place this year (October 6-13, 2025). There are five main levels of interpretation to all the Feasts: historical, practical, symbolical, spiritual, and prophetical. As we visit every level, we will discover the genius of the Everlasting Father who often hides His mysteries in this intriguing, symbolic way.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of the tort of negligence, focusing on its four essential pillars: duty of care, breach of duty, causation, and damages. The discussion delves into the nuances of each pillar, including the standards of care, the importance of foreseeability, and the various doctrines that assist in proving negligence. Additionally, it covers defenses against liability, such as contributory and comparative negligence, and the concept of assumption of risk. The conversation concludes with reflections on the balance between legal standards and human judgment in achieving justice.In the realm of civil law, negligence stands as a cornerstone, where carelessness meets legal accountability. Whether you're preparing for a torts exam or simply curious about legal frameworks, understanding the four pillars of negligence—duty, breach, causation, and damages—is essential.Duty: The Foundation of Responsibility The first pillar, duty, asks whether the defendant owed the plaintiff a legal obligation. This duty is often broad, requiring individuals to act as a reasonably prudent person would under similar circumstances. However, the standard can shift dramatically based on specific roles or relationships, such as those of professionals or landowners.Breach: Falling Short of Standards Once duty is established, the next question is whether the defendant breached that duty. This involves comparing the defendant's actions to those of a hypothetical "reasonably prudent person." The breach is determined by whether the defendant's conduct fell below this standard, often using tools like the Hand Formula to assess reasonableness.Causation: Linking Actions to Harm Causation connects the defendant's breach to the plaintiff's injury and is divided into two parts: actual cause and proximate cause. Actual cause, or "but-for" causation, asks if the injury would have occurred without the defendant's actions. Proximate cause limits liability to foreseeable consequences, ensuring the harm was a direct result of the breach.Damages: Quantifying Harm Finally, for a negligence claim to succeed, the plaintiff must have suffered legally recognized damages. These can be economic, such as medical expenses and lost wages, or non-economic, like pain and suffering. In some cases, punitive damages may be awarded to punish particularly egregious conduct.The four pillars of negligence provide a structured approach to understanding and analyzing legal accountability. By methodically examining duty, breach, causation, and damages, one can navigate even the most complex legal scenarios. As you delve deeper into the intricacies of negligence law, remember that these pillars are not just legal concepts but tools for achieving justice and accountability.Subscribe Now: Stay informed and deepen your understanding of legal principles by subscribing to our blog for more insights and analyses.TakeawaysNegligence is foundational in civil law.The four pillars of negligence are duty, breach, causation, and damages.Duty of care establishes legal obligations to prevent harm.Breach of duty is measured against the standard of a reasonably prudent person.Causation includes both actual and proximate cause.Damages must be legally recognized losses for a claim to succeed.Res ipsa loquitur allows for inferring negligence without direct evidence.Negligence per se simplifies proving breach when a statute is violated.Comparative negligence reduces damages based on the plaintiff's fault.Assumption of risk can bar recovery if the plaintiff knowingly accepted the risk.negligence, tort law, duty of care, breach of duty, causation, damages, res ipsa loquitur, negligence per se, defenses, assumption of risk

This conversation provides a comprehensive overview of tort law, focusing on the foundational concepts of intentional torts, negligence, and strict liability. The discussion delves into the distinctions between different types of torts, the importance of consent, various defenses available in tort cases, and the nuances of causation and damages. The conversation emphasizes the complexities of tort law and the ongoing tension between legal principles and social justice.In the realm of tort law, intentional torts stand as a fundamental pillar, distinct from negligence and strict liability. These torts revolve around deliberate actions and the specific mental state of the defendant. This post delves into the nuances of intentional torts, focusing on the transfer of intent, the critical distinctions between assault and battery, and the complexities of consent, including apparent and implied licenses.Transfer of Intent: The concept of transfer of intent is pivotal in understanding intentional torts. It applies to a select group of torts: battery, assault, false imprisonment, trespass to land, and trespass to chattels. The principle is straightforward: if a person intends to commit one of these torts against one individual but inadvertently affects another, the intent transfers. For instance, if Draco aims a hex at Harry intending assault, but it hits Hermione instead, Hermione can sue Draco for battery. The law recognizes Draco's original intent to commit a wrong within that category, thus transferring the intent.Assault vs. Battery: Assault and battery are often confused, yet they protect different interests. Assault is about the apprehension of a harmful or offensive contact, not the contact itself. It requires a reasonable apprehension of an imminent threat. Battery, on the other hand, involves the actual contact—an unpermitted, intentional touching that is harmful or offensive. A key distinction is that the victim need not be aware of the contact for it to be considered battery, underscoring the protection of bodily integrity.Apparent and Implied Licenses: Consent is a primary defense in intentional torts, but it can be complex. Apparent consent, as illustrated in O'Brien v. Cunard's Themeship Company, relies on outward actions rather than internal feelings. In this case, Ms. O'Brien's actions—standing in line and raising her arm for vaccination—were deemed to show consent, despite her internal objections. Implied licenses, such as those in sports or playground activities, suggest that participants consent to certain contacts inherent to the activity. However, context is crucial; a kick during play might be acceptable, but not after the game has ended.Intentional torts require a nuanced understanding of intent, the nature of the act, and the defenses available. The transfer of intent, distinctions between assault and battery, and the intricacies of consent highlight the complexity of these legal concepts. As law students and future practitioners, grappling with these nuances is essential for mastering tort law. Keep exploring these foundational ideas, as they form the bedrock of civil liability and the pursuit of justice.Subscribe now to stay updated on more insights into tort law and other legal concepts.Tort law is foundational for understanding civil liability.Intentional torts require a specific mindset from the defendant.Consent can be actual, apparent, or presumed in tort law.Self-defense and other privileges can serve as defenses in tort cases.Necessity can justify actions that would otherwise be tortious.Negligence focuses on unintentional failures to meet a standard of care.Causation in negligence includes both actual and proximate cause.Damages in tort law can be compensatory or punitive.Comparative negligence is a more equitable approach than contributory negligence.torts, intentional torts, negligence, strict liability, consent, defenses, causation, damages, product liability, law students

Welcome back to EUVC Live powered by Woven Capital at The Drop, where we bring you unfiltered conversations with the voices shaping Europe's venture ecosystem.In this episode, Alex Bakir, founding partner at Norrsken Evolve, takes the stage fresh off his latest fund close — but instead of talking about fundraising, Alex dives into the bigger picture: how competition, climate, and chaos are reshaping the world we invest in.From the cycles of history and the rise of populism to the structural shocks of climate change, Alex challenges us to rethink Europe's role, its vulnerabilities, and why rebuilding around cleantech and climate tech isn't just optional — it's inevitable.

The Bible declares that “mercy triumphs over judgment” (James 2:13). Our heavenly Father creates new expressions of mercy every morning. Receiving His mercy is the key to triumphant living. Giving it away to others is one of the most blessed and godlike things we can do. Believers are not only named “vessels of mercy” (recipients of the Savior's tender compassion); we are also called to be “the merciful” (extending His mercy to others).

Yom Kippur (the Day of Atonement) is the holiest day of the year for a devoted Jewish person. Israelites throughout the world just participated in its call to repentance (from nightfall on Wednesday, October 1, to sundown on Thursday, October 2, 2025). How was it celebrated in ancient times and what is the deep symbolism concerning the Messiah that the traditional practices convey? How does it lead up to the next Feast of the Lord in the Jewish calendar (Sukkot / The Feast of Tabernacles)? This is important revelation!Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.netMinistry website: www.shreveministries.orgThe Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish)Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministriesAll audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.Mike Shreve's other podcastDiscover Your Spiritual Identity—a study on the biblical names given to God's people: https://www.charismapodcastnetwork.com/show/discoveryourspiritualidentityMail: P.O.

All believers are “vessels of mercy” who, according to Romans 9:23, have been “prepared beforehand for glory.” Did you get that? “Prepared beforehand”—that means before the foundation of the world, God chose you to be a recipient of His mercy.

Learn two of the most powerful mercy scriptures in the Bible and two of the most powerful manifestations of mercy to ever take place.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Jesus compares His eternal bride to a “pearl of great price.” This is one of the great mysteries of the kingdom of God. A pearl is encased in an oyster shell, which frankly is one of the ugliest shells in the sea. Yet it contains a sought-after jewel of great beauty and value. What a heartwarming revelation of the identity and nature of God's people and the pearl-producing-process preparing us for our eternal destiny.Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net The “Catholic Project” website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

Are all human beings children of God? The politically-correct answer would be an unequivocal, “Yes, all people of all religions are worshiping the same God, and they are all His children!” But is that true? Or are there certain criteria that must be fulfilled to “become” a child of God? The answer to this challenging question is complex and there are layers of revelation. Get ready for the mystery to be unveiled. You have probably never heard it explained this way.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org The Catholic Project website: www.toCatholicswithlove.org (English & Spanish) Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.

This week's podcast guest Filip Holm has a master's degree in Comparative religion and has studied the topic extensively for many years. He brings that experience to Let's Talk Religion to provide a reliable source of information about religion, history & philosophy. Let's Talk Religion is one of the most popular educational Youtube channels and podcasts in the world. Exploring topics ranging from the major religions of the world to small, relatively unknown schools of thought, philosophers and mystics, Filip brings academic rigour and methodology to a topic that is often very oversimplified and misrepresented through entertaining and well produced content.In this episode we cover the following topics:Sufi history and traditionSufi practicesSufi poetry – RumiVisit Filip:https://www.instagram.com/itsfilipholm/https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC9dRb4fbJQIbQ3KHJZF_z0ghttps://itsfilipholm.com/My Law of Positivism Healing Oracle Card Deck:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/healingoracle.htmlMy book The Law of Positivism – Live a life of higher vibrations, love and gratitude:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/book.html My readings and healing sessions:https://www.lawofpositivism.com/offerings.htmlVisit Law of Positivism:https://www.instagram.com/lawofpositivism/Website: https://www.lawofpositivism.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lawofpositivism/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/lawofpositivism

God delights in mercy, but there are certain key attitudes that open that door of blessing and breakthrough.

In 1274 A.D., Purgatory was officially declared a doctrine of the Catholic Church. This netherworld location has been described as a place of flames, punishment, intolerable pain, and purification, before those subjected to it graduate to the bliss of heaven. Purgatory cannot be proven by the Bible. Along with indulgences, it is one of the primary beliefs that led to the great Protestant Reformation.Comparative religion website: www.thetruelight.net Ministry website: www.shreveministries.org Video channel: www.YouTube.com/mikeshreveministries All audio-podcasts are shared in a video format on our YouTube channel.
