In this month's Current Campus Context, Heather Shea is joined by correspondents Dr. Felecia Commodore and Dr. Brendan Cantwell to make sense of four major forces reshaping higher education right now: sharp declines in international enrollment and heightened immigration enforcement; a proposed federal redefinition of “professional degree” that could limit graduate student borrowing and access to high-need fields; deepening budget cuts and staff reductions affecting student-facing roles; and major shifts in college athletics as NIL changes and recent legal cases raise new questions about equity, compliance, and institutional accountability. Together, they explore what these developments mean for student affairs educators, how institutions are responding in real time, and what to watch as the semester comes to a close.

Writing the "Why Our School?" essay is one of the toughest—and most overlooked—parts of the MBA application. In this episode, GMAC Zach sits down with Jeremy Shinewald, founder of MBA Mission and one of the most trusted voices in MBA admissions, to break down how to turn this high-stakes prompt into a powerful statement of fit. Jeremy explains why this essay is far more than a formality, where most applicants go wrong, and the three core components every strong response must include: your context, your goals, and a bridge that connects those goals to the school's specific resources. He also shares insider tips from two decades of advising thousands of candidates, including how to avoid sounding generic, why authenticity matters more than perfection, and how to demonstrate conviction that resonates with admissions committees. If you want to tell your story with clarity, purpose, and genuine fit, this episode is your roadmap.

Rachel Maddow relays the details of a new Washington Post report that Donald Trump's secretary of defense, former weekend cable news host Pete Hegseth, gave orders to kill everyone on board a boat he accused of running drugs to the United States, which meant finishing off the survivors of an initial strike that destroyed the boat — the literal textbook definition of an illegal order. Rep. Adam Smith, ranking member of the House Armed Services Committee joins to discuss a new, bipartisan push to investigate Hegseth's orders.Rachel Maddow talks with Nadya Tolokonnikova, founding member of Russian dissident activism group Pussy Riot, about what it means that the Putin administration has declared her a member of an "extremist" organization, and the parallels to Donald Trump using a similar tactic to give himself the tools for targeting people he doesn't like.

The traditional linear shopping journey has collapsed. Commerce now happens everywhere, and consumers are navigating this omnimodal reality with unprecedented fluidity.Phillip Jackson and Lindsay Trinkle sit down with Melissa Minkow, Global Director of Retail Strategy and Insights at CI&T, to unpack findings from her Retail Tech Reality Check research. Together, they dissect how different platforms serve distinct purposes in the buyer's journey, why "omnichannel" is more relevant than ever, and what happens when everything becomes shoppable but commerce itself becomes invisible.In this episode, we explore how the expanded digital ecosystem is fundamentally reprogramming how consumers engage with content, community, and commerce. With 74% of US consumers now using AI tools in their path to purchase, brands can no longer control the narrative—instead, they must embed themselves intentionally into customer-led conversations across multiple contexts.Commerce Is Invisible; Context Isn'tKey takeaways:Each social platform serves a distinct purpose: Facebook for purchasing, YouTube for discovery, Reddit for research. Context matters more than channel ubiquity.The invisible transaction wins: TikTok succeeds because it's entertainment-first. The less commerce feels like commerce, the more consumers buy.Attribution is broken: Traditional linear models can't capture circular, contextual journeys. Focus on conversion, repeat purchase, and brand awareness—the only metrics you can trust.Search remains unsolved: Basic functionality like filtering furniture by dimensions is still missing. Data quality and search methodology are foundational competitive advantages.Micro-influencers drive outsized impact: 45 passionate referrals matter more than 45,000 followers. The persona of the referrer (picky, experimental, passionate) outweighs reach.AI will reshape holiday 2025: Gifting anxiety makes AI particularly valuable.

In this episode of The Jim Stroud Podcast, Jim sits down with Josh Hill—Head of People and co-founder of SuperHired—to explore what's really happening at the intersection of HR and artificial intelligence. Drawing from his unconventional path from the Australian military to executive HR leadership, Josh breaks down why today's recruitment engine is fundamentally broken, how AI is both helping and harming the process, and why “human in the loop” isn't just a best practice—it's a necessity. Together, they dive into the future of hiring, including: Why AI should augment, not replace, human decision-making How small companies can use AI without losing their culture Which parts of recruiting must remain human-led Why resumes offer almost no predictive value—and what should replace them How clearer company context creates better candidate matches The legal and ethical traps HR leaders must navigate as AI tools proliferate Whether you're an HR executive, recruiter, or talent strategist, this conversation offers a candid, forward-thinking look at how to build more human, transparent, and effective hiring practices in an AI-driven world.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 11/29/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In the midst of alleged "thanksgiving" cheer, The C.O.W.S. will recognize the passing of Jamil Abdullah al-Amin and Viola Ford Fletcher. Mr. al-Amin, formerly known as H. Rap Brown, was 82-years-old and a vocal spokesperson against and Victim of the System of White Supremacy during the so-called Civil Rights Movement. Mr. al-Amin is often depicted wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket while announcing that "Violence is as American as cherry (pumpkin) pie." Fletcher was 111-years-old and is credited with being the last living survivor of the 1921 Tulsa Oklahoma Terrorist attack. Also, professional golfer and (professional) Racist Suspect "Fuzzy" Zoeller reportedly died this week at the age of 74. Many reports of his death mention that Zoeller was "haunted" and "tarnished" by his Racist Joke directed at a very young (21!!) Tiger Woods. The then-45-year-old Indiana golfer begrudgingly celebrated Woods' 1997 triumph at the Master's Tournament but cautioned the "little boy" not to serve fried chicken and collard greens at the Masters Champions Dinner

AI Assisted Coding: Building Reliable Software with Unreliable AI Tools In this special episode, Lada Kesseler shares her journey from AI skeptic to pioneer in AI-assisted development. She explores the spectrum from careful, test-driven development to quick AI-driven experimentation, revealing practical patterns, anti-patterns, and the critical role of judgment in modern software engineering. From Skeptic to Pioneer: Lada's AI Coding Journey "I got a new skill for free!"   Lada's transformation began when she discovered Anthropic's Claude Projects. Despite being skeptical about AI tools throughout 2023, she found herself learning Angular frontend development with AI—a technology she had no prior experience with. This breakthrough moment revealed something profound: AI could serve as an extension of her existing development skills, enabling her to acquire new capabilities without the traditional learning curve. The journey evolved through WindSurf and Claude Code, each tool expanding her understanding of what's possible when developers collaborate with AI. Understanding Vibecoding vs. AI-Assisted Development "AI assisted coding requires judgment, and it's never been as important to exercise judgment as now."   Lada introduces the concept of "vibecoding" as one extreme on a new dimension in software development—the spectrum from careful, test-driven development to quick, AI-driven experimentation. The key insight isn't that one approach is superior, but that developers must exercise judgment about which approach fits their context. She warns against careless AI coding for production systems: "You just talk to a computer, you say, do this, do that. You don't really care about code... For some systems, that's fine. When the problem arises is when you put the stuff to production and you really care about your customers. Please, please don't do that." This wisdom highlights that with great power comes great responsibility—AI accelerates both good and bad practices. The Answer Injection Anti-Pattern When Working With AI "You're limiting yourself without knowing, you're limiting yourself just by how you formulate your questions. And it's so hard to detect."   One of Lada's most important discoveries is the "answer injection" anti-pattern—when developers unconsciously constrain AI's responses by how they frame their questions. She experienced this firsthand when she asked an AI about implementing a feature using a specific approach, only to realize later that she had prevented the AI from suggesting better alternatives. The solution? Learning to ask questions more openly and reformulating problems to avoid self-imposed limitations. As she puts it, "Learn to ask the right way. This is one of the powers this year that's been kind of super cool." This skill of question formulation has become as critical as any technical capability.   Answer injection is when we—sometimes, unknowingly—ask a leading question that also injects a possible answer. It's an anti-pattern because LLM's have access to far more information than we do. Lada's advice: "just ask for anything you need", the LLM might have a possible answer for you. Never Trust a Single LLM: Multi-Agent Collaboration "Never trust the output of a single LLM. When you ask it to develop a feature, and then you ask the same thing to look at that feature, understand the code, find the issues with it—it suddenly finds improvements."   Lada shares her experiments with swarm programming—using multiple AI instances that collaborate and cross-check each other's work. She created specialized agents (architect, developer, tester) and even built systems using AppleScript and Tmux to make different AI instances communicate with each other. This approach revealed a powerful pattern: AI reviewing AI often catches issues that a single instance would miss. The practical takeaway is simple but profound—always have one AI instance review another's work, treating AI output with the same healthy skepticism you'd apply to any code review. Code Quality Matters MORE with AI "This thing is a monkey, and if you put it in a good codebase, like any developer, it's gonna replicate what it sees. So it behaves much better in the better codebase, so refactor!"   Lada emphasizes that code quality becomes even more critical when working with AI. Her systems "work silently" and "don't make a lot of noise, because they don't break"—a result of maintaining high standards even when AI makes rapid development tempting. She uses a memorable metaphor: AI is like a monkey that replicates what it sees. Put it in a clean, well-structured codebase, and it produces clean code. Put it in a mess, and it amplifies that mess. This insight transforms refactoring from a nice-to-have into a strategic necessity—good architecture and clean code directly improve AI's ability to contribute effectively. Managing Complexity: The Open Question "If I just let it do things, it'll just run itself to the wall at crazy speeds, because it's really good at running. So I have to be there managing complexity for it."   One of the most honest insights Lada shares is the current limitation of AI: complexity management. While AI excels at implementing features quickly, it struggles to manage the growing complexity of systems over time. Lada finds herself acting as the complexity manager, making architectural decisions and keeping the system maintainable while AI handles implementation details. She poses a critical question for the future: "Can it manage complexity? Can we teach it to manage complexity? I don't know the answer to that." This honest assessment reminds us that fundamental software engineering skills—architecture, refactoring, testing—remain as vital as ever. Context is Everything: Highway vs. Parking Lot "You need to be attuned to the environment. You can go faster or slow, and sometimes going slow is bad, because if you're on a highway, you're gonna get hurt."   Lada introduces a powerful metaphor for choosing development speed: highway versus parking lot. When learning or experimenting with non-critical systems, you can go fast, don't worry about perfection, and leverage AI's speed fully. But when building production systems where reliability matters, different rules apply. The key is matching your development approach to the risk level and context. She emphasizes safety nets: "In one project, we used AI, and we didn't pay attention to the code, as it wasn't important, because at any point, we could actually step back and refactor. We were not unsafe." This perspective helps developers make better judgment calls about when to accelerate and when to slow down. The Era of Discovery: We've Only Just Begun "We haven't even touched the possibilities of what is there out there right now. We're in the era of gentleman scientists—newbies can make big discoveries right now, because nobody knows what AI really is capable of."   Perhaps most exciting is Lada's perspective on where we stand in the AI-assisted development journey: we're at the very beginning. Even the creators of these tools are figuring things out as they go. This creates unprecedented opportunities for practitioners at all levels to experiment, discover patterns, and share learnings with the community. Lada has documented her discoveries in an interactive patterns and anti-patterns website, a Calgary Software Crafters presentation, and her Substack blog—contributing to the collective knowledge base that's being built in real-time.

I guess I'll grandly now call it a holiday tradition. I turned a past blog into a pod pondering the various uses of the words "thanks". Hope you are having a great Thanksgiving weekend, and "thanks for everything"!

In this episode, I'm joined by Faith Womack, known to many as Bible Nerd Ministries, for a deeply refreshing conversation on how to read Scripture with clarity, curiosity, and joy. Faith shares her own story of growing up with mishandled and misapplied Bible teaching, and how learning the basics of hermeneutics transformed everything for her. We talk about context, genre, the big story of God's redemption, why so many of us default to reading ourselves into the text, and how Scripture becomes truly alive when we allow it to reveal who God is rather than simply serve our needs. If you've ever felt bored, intimidated, confused, or stuck in your Bible reading, this episode is a hopeful path back toward awe, depth, and worship. And as Faith reminds us, understanding the Word isn't reserved for scholars, it's an invitation extended to every follower of Jesus.Faith Womack is the founder of Bible Nerd Ministries and a content creator who aims to inspire Christians to get back into the Word of God. Her courses, including “Bible Study Bootcamp” and “Theology Bootcamp,” have reached thousands, and her Bible study content has reached over 10 million people on Instagram, TikTok and YouTube.  Faith aims to empower Christians not only to understand the Bible but also to enjoy it. Her debut book, No More Boring Bible Study: Why Taking Scripture Seriously Is Easier and More Exciting Than You Think releases from Zondervan in November 2025. Faith has a B.A. in biblical and theological studies from Covenant College and a M.A.T.S. from Erskine Seminary.

Before we can interpret the healing of the ten lepers, we must understand the world of the text. This episode examines the geographical, historical, covenantal, priestly, and literary context of Luke 17:11–19

In this week's episode of The Cycling Podcast, Daniel Friebe and Tudor Pro Cycling stalwart Larry Warbasse discuss some of the more intriguing and controversial news stories of the last few weeks.  With most teams about to gather for their first pre-season training camps, some also face an uncertain future. The long-mooted Lotto-Intermarché merger still hasn't been confirmed, raising questions about who will even be in the WorldTour in 2026. The UCI's introduction of a promotion and relegation system was supposed to ensure that such matters were decided primarily on sporting merit. With the latest three-year cycle having just concluded, Daniel and Larry discuss whether the UCI needs to go back to the drawing board.  We also discuss what was formerly Israel Premier Tech's new identity, Marcel Kittel's eye-catching recent comments about doping and why exactly the pro peloton has got so much faster since Covid.

AI Assisted Coding: Treating AI Like a Junior Engineer - Onboarding Practices for AI Collaboration In this special episode, Sergey Sergyenko, CEO of Cybergizer, shares his practical framework for AI-assisted development built on transactional models, Git workflows, and architectural conventions. He explains why treating AI like a junior engineer, keeping commits atomic, and maintaining rollback strategies creates production-ready code rather than just prototypes. Vibecoding: An Automation Design Instrument "I would define Vibecoding as an automation design instrument. It's not a tool that can deliver end-to-end solution, but it's like a perfect set of helping hands for a person who knows what they need to do."   Sergey positions vibecoding clearly: it's not magic, it's an automation design tool. The person using it must know what they need to accomplish—AI provides the helping hands to execute that vision faster. This framing sets expectations appropriately: AI speeds up development significantly, but it's not a silver bullet that works without guidance. The more you practice vibecoding, the better you understand its boundaries. Sergey's definition places vibecoding in the evolution of development tools: from scaffolding to co-pilots to agentic coding to vibecoding. Each step increases automation, but the human architect remains essential for providing direction, context, and validation. Pair Programming with the Machine "If you treat AI as a junior engineer, it's very easy to adopt it. Ah, okay, maybe we just use the old traditions, how we onboard juniors to the team, and let AI follow this step."   One of Sergey's most practical insights is treating AI like a junior engineer joining your team. This mental model immediately clarifies roles and expectations. You wouldn't let a junior architect your system or write all your tests—so why let AI? Instead, apply existing onboarding practices: pair programming, code reviews, test-driven development, architectural guidance. This approach leverages Extreme Programming practices that have worked for decades. The junior engineer analogy helps teams understand that AI needs mentorship, clear requirements, and frequent validation. Just as you'd provide a junior with frameworks and conventions to follow, you constrain AI with established architectural patterns and framework conventions like Ruby on Rails. The Transactional Model: Atomic Commits and Rollback "When you're working with AI, the more atomic commits it delivers, more easy for you to kind of guide and navigate it through the process of development."   Sergey's transactional approach transforms how developers work with AI. Instead of iterating endlessly when something goes wrong, commit frequently with atomic changes, then rollback and restart if validation fails. Each commit should be small, independent, and complete—like a feature flag you can toggle. The commit message includes the prompt sequence used to generate the code and rollback instructions.  This approach makes the Git repository the context manager, not just the AI's memory. When you need to guide AI, you can reference specific commits and their context. This mirrors trunk-based development practices where teams commit directly to master with small, verified changes. The cost of rollback stays minimal because changes are atomic, making this strategy far more efficient than trying to fix broken implementations through iteration. Context Management: The Weak Point and the Solution "Managing context and keeping context is one of the weak points of today's coding agents, therefore we need to be very mindful in how we manage that context for the agent."   Context management challenges current AI coding tools—they forget, lose thread, or misinterpret requirements over long sessions. Sergey's solution is embedding context within the commit history itself. Each commit links back to the specific reasoning behind that code: why it was accepted, what iterations it took, and how to undo it if needed. This creates a persistent context trail that survives beyond individual AI sessions. When starting new features, developers can reference previous commits and their context to guide the AI. The transactional model doesn't just provide rollback capability—it creates institutional memory that makes AI progressively more effective as the codebase grows. TDD 2.0: Humans Write Tests, AI Writes Code "I would never allow AI to write the test. I would do it by myself. Still, it can write the code."   Sergey is adamant about roles: humans write tests, AI writes implementation code. This inverts traditional TDD slightly—instead of developers writing tests then code, they write tests and AI writes the code to pass them. Tests become executable requirements and prompts. This provides essential guardrails: AI can iterate on implementation until tests pass, but it can't redefine what "passing" means. The tests represent domain knowledge, business requirements, and validation criteria that only humans should control. Sergey envisions multi-agent systems where one agent writes code while another validates with tests, but critically, humans author the original test suite. This TDD 2.0 framework (a talk Sergey gave at the Global Agile Summit) creates a verification mechanism that prevents the biggest anti-pattern: coding without proper validation. The Two Cardinal Rules: Architecture and Verification "I would never allow AI to invent architecture. Writing AI agentic coding, Vibecoding, whatever coding—without proper verification and properly setting expectations of what you want to get as a result—that's the main mistake."   Sergey identifies two non-negotiables. First, never let AI invent architecture. Use framework conventions (Rails, etc.) to constrain AI's choices. Leverage existing code generators and scaffolding. Provide explicit architectural guidelines in planning steps. Store iteration-specific instructions where AI can reference them. The framework becomes the guardrails that prevent AI from making structural decisions it's not equipped to make. Second, always verify AI output. Even if you don't want to look at code, you must validate that it meets requirements. This might be through tests, manual review, or automated checks—but skipping verification is the fundamental mistake. These two rules—human-defined architecture and mandatory verification—separate successful AI-assisted development from technical debt generation. Prototype vs. Production: Two Different Workflows "When you pair as an architect or a really senior engineer who can implement it by himself, but just wants to save time, you do the pair programming with AI, and the AI kind of ships a draft, and rapid prototype."   Sergey distinguishes clearly between prototype and production development. For MVPs and rapid prototypes, a senior architect pairs with AI to create drafts quickly—this is where speed matters most. For production code, teams add more iterative testing and polishing after AI generates initial implementation. The key is being explicit about which mode you're in. The biggest anti-pattern is treating prototype code as production-ready without the necessary validation and hardening steps. When building production systems, Sergey applies the full transactional model: atomic commits, comprehensive tests, architectural constraints, and rollback strategies. For prototypes, speed takes priority, but the architectural knowledge still comes from humans, not AI. The Future: AI Literacy as Mandatory "Being a software engineer and trying to get a new job, it's gonna be a mandatory requirement for you to understand how to use AI for coding. So it's not enough to just be a good engineer."   Sergey sees AI-assisted coding literacy becoming as fundamental as Git proficiency. Future engineering jobs will require demonstrating effective AI collaboration, not just traditional coding skills. We're reaching good performance levels with AI models—now the challenge is learning to use them efficiently. This means frameworks and standardized patterns for AI-assisted development will emerge and consolidate. Approaches like AAID, SpecKit, and others represent early attempts to create these patterns. Sergey expects architectural patterns for AI-assisted development to standardize, similar to how design patterns emerged in object-oriented programming. The human remains the bottleneck—for domain knowledge, business requirements, and architectural guidance—but the implementation mechanics shift heavily toward AI collaboration. Resources for Practitioners "We are reaching a good performance level of AI models, and now we need to guide it to make it impactful. It's a great tool, now we need to understand how to make it impactful."   Sergey recommends Obie Fernandez's work on "Patterns of Application Development Using AI," particularly valuable for Ruby and Rails developers but applicable broadly. He references Andrey Karpathy's original vibecoding post and emphasizes Extreme Programming practices as foundational. The tools he uses—Cursor and Claude Code—support custom planning steps and context management. But more important than tools is the mindset: we have powerful AI capabilities now, and the focus must shift to efficient usage patterns. This means experimenting with workflows, documenting what works, and sharing patterns with the community. Sergey himself shares case studies on LinkedIn and travels extensively speaking about these approaches, contributing to the collective learning happening in real-time.   About Sergey Sergyenko   Sergey is the CEO of Cybergizer, a dynamic software development agency with offices in Vilnius, Lithuania.

In 2009, the body of a former president of the Republic of Cyprus, Tassos Papadopoulos, was stolen from his grave. The Time of the Cannibals reconsiders this history and the public discourse on it to reconsider how we think about conspiracy theory, and specifically, what it means to understand conspiracy theories “in context.” The months after Papadopoulos's body was stolen saw intense public speculation in Cyprus, including widespread expressions of sacrilege, along with many false accusations against Cypriots and foreigners positioned as his political antagonists. Davis delves into the public discourse on conspiracy theory in Cyprus that flourished in the aftermath, tracing theories about the grave robbery to theories about the division of Cyprus some thirty-five years earlier, and both to longer histories of imperial and colonial violence. Along the way, Davis explores cross-contextual connections among Cyprus and other locales, in the form of conspiracy theories as well as political theologies regarding the dead bodies of political leaders. Through critical close readings of academic and journalistic approaches to conspiracy theory, Davis shows that conspiracy theory as an analytic object fails to sustain comparative analysis, and defies any general theory of conspiracy theory. What these approaches accomplish instead, she argues, is the perpetuation of ethnocentrism in the guise of contextualization. The Time of the Cannibals: On Conspiracy Theory and Context (Fordham UP, 2024) asks what better kind of contextualization this and any “case” call for, and proposes the concept of conspiracy attunement: a means of grasping the dialogic contexts in which conspiracy theories work recursively as matters of political and cultural significance in the long durée. Elizabeth Anne Davis is Professor of Anthropology at Princeton University. Her research and writing, grounded in the European horizons and the Ottoman history of the Greek-speaking world, focus on the intersections of psyche, body, history, and power.

Series: GratefulWeek 2 Title: HospitalityMain Scripture: 1 Peter 4:8–10BIG IDEA:Hospitality is what happens when the love God pours into us gets poured out of us.When we are filled with gratitude, what comes out looks like hospitality.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYI. The Context of 1 PeterWritten to believers who were scattered, suffering, pressured, and afraid.Life was tight and overwhelming, but Peter calls them outward—not inward.“Above all, love each other deeply… offer hospitality… use your gifts to serve.”When life presses in, the way of Jesus presses out.Hospitality in a broken world is resistance and spiritual warfare. It's how we make room for others the way God made room for us.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYII. Big Vision for Your LifeTo live a life marked by hospitality—loved by God and sharing that love.Hospitality is not decorating your home—it's making space for people.It's not natural; it's formed. Built. Practiced.It's not a talent but the expression of a heart that has been loved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYIII. Hospitality Is an ExpectationScripture repeatedly commands it:Romans 12:13 – “Practice hospitality.”Hebrews 13:2 – “Do not forget to show hospitality to strangers…”1 Peter 4:9 – “Offer hospitality without grumbling.”Pastors and elders must be hospitable (1 Timothy 3:2, Titus 1:8).Hospitality isn't optional for believers—it's part of Christlikeness.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYIV. Hospitality Starts With Being Loved1 Peter 4:8 — “Above all, love each other deeply…”Loving well begins with receiving love well.Many struggle to receive love because of wounds from their “inner child.”Spiritual maturity = seeing that inner child but not letting them steer your life.Christ shepherds us; we shepherd the fearful places inside us.You honor the child within you—but you don't let them lead.Many struggle to offer love because they still feel unknown, unsafe, or unloved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYV. Hospitality Is Love in Action“Offer hospitality… without grumbling” reveals whether it's duty or delight.True hospitality makes room in your heart, not just your home or calendar.Not about hosting; about welcoming.If you're critical of others' hospitality, you may not feel welcome in your own heart.When we're strangers to ourselves, we bury others under unfair pressures.The church becomes powerful when its people carry hospitable hearts.Small groups are hospitality in action—spaces to be known and loved.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYVI. Open Heart Policy1 Peter 4:10 — “Faithful stewards of God's grace…”Hospitality is not “doing something nice.” It's distributing grace.Grace is meant to pass through you, not get stuck in you.Hospitality = living with an open heart, a welcoming presence, an inviting spirit.Limited perspective leads to harmful assumptions that close us off.Without an outlet for grace, our hearts become like the Dead Sea—receiving but never releasing.WEEK 2 - HOSPITALITYClosingHospitality is not a moment—it's a lifestyle.God made room for us; now we make room for others.Grace isn't meant to be stored. It's meant to be poured.We don't want to just say “thanks”—we want to live gratitude through hospitality.

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 11/22/25. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. ANTIBLACKNESS After days of protests and anxious waiting, the 62-year-old Whitestown, Indian homeowner who shot and killed a non-white cleaner who arrived at the wrong address has been named and charged. Curt Anderson, Racist Suspect, faces voluntary manslaughter charges for killing Maria Florinda Rios Perez De Velasquez earlier this month. Again, Whitestown is a Racially Restricted Region. In Texas, a White Texas Department of Public Safety officer was on duty during an college tackle football game between the South Carolina Gamecocks and the Texas A&M Aggies. The visiting Gamecocks' wide receiver Nyck Harbor, privileged black male, scored a touchdown and jogged up the home team's tunnel as he decelerated. The White male Texas DPS officer was walking towards Harbor in the tunnel and delivered a vicious shoulder shove followed by a verbal assault. The officer was allegedly removed from duty after this incident went viral. #EndStageWhiteSupremacy INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 720.716.7300 CODE 564943#

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with international best selling author and publishing mentor L.S. Kirkpatrick to get real about the invisible cost of entrepreneurship. Not the funnels or the hustle. The self doubt. They unpack what happens when your vision board comes down, the money is slow, and you start questioning your worth as a founder, creator or writer. L.S. shares how she went from stay at home grandmother to 22 time award winning author and publisher in just three years, why comparison to “ten year overnight successes” quietly kills momentum, and how to use your story as an asset instead of a wound. If you are building a business, writing a book or turning life experience into impact, this conversation will help you reset your metrics for success and remember that you are the most valuable asset in your brand. About the Guest: L.S. Kirkpatrick is an international best selling and 22 time award winning author, publisher and inspirational speaker. She helps women aged 40 to 65 reclaim their voice and purpose by turning real life experience into books, talks and legacy projects. In just three years she has contributed to or published 47 books, including her own 35 Day Journal and multiple collaborative “Giving Book” volumes. As founder of Wisdom On The Frontporch, a podcast and magazine, L.S. mentors purpose driven entrepreneurs who are ready to share their story without losing themselves in the process. Her work centres on self worth, storytelling and practical business skills for late blooming leaders. Key Takeaways: Self doubt is part of the entrepreneurial journey, not proof that you are failing. You can pause to reassess without quitting on your business. Stop comparing your year one to someone else's year ten. Context matters and most “overnight success” stories hide a long runway of learning. Your story does not have to be graphic to be powerful. You can share lessons, choices and patterns without retraumatising yourself or your audience. Service first is a better strategy than chasing money. Focus on helping people get results and financial growth tends to follow over time. Collaborative books and anthologies are a low risk way to test your message, build credibility and see if authorship fits your long term vision. Give yourself grace in the messy middle. You already have a one hundred percent track record of surviving hard days, and that resilience is part of your brand equity. How To Connect With L.S. Kirkpatrick  : Listeners can connect with L.S. and explore her books, collaborative projects and mentoring via: Website. https://lskirkpatrick.com Podcast and magazine https://www.wisdomonthefrontporch.com/ Social media: Search for L.S.
