Hey friend! Have you ever wondered what it's like to take a peek behind the scenes - getting a sneak peek of how things run or a closer look at the inner workings? That's what today's podcast is about. You are getting a sneak peek at what group coaching looks like inside The Collective! The women I meet with monthly are amazing, inspiring and ACTION takers! It's been so much fun to watch the progress unfold these past six months. It's not fast action, but it's intentional action. It's action aligned with their personal styles, stories and goals for having homes they delight in! Today's questions are all as different as the homes they come from: 1. Jenny asks which bench to put inside her entryway, but might be surprised to learn that what I recommend is actually a small entry table. 2. Nicole is in desperate need of a paint job and wonders which shade of white to choose and notices how each swatch of paint is pulling a different undertone. 3. Dee is curious why I am recommending a curved mirror for her entry way table and the concept of contrast and soft lines is introduced. Even if the question isn't from them specifically, there's learning opportunities available! Would you like to make progress on your home too? Join us inside The Collective, where there's always more room at the table!   Better Than Basics Bootcamp April 29 - May 1 9am PST | 10 am MST | 11am CST | 12pm EST ......................................

Stuart Delony is unabashedly snarky.  In fact, you could call it his trademark.  He's unapologetic.  He's direct.  He uses profanity.  And, he is calling out the inconsistencies within Evangelical Christianity and the American church, distinctions between what Jesus called His church to do and what we actually do.He's also a former pastor from within Evangelical Christian culture.That's awkward.But, is he correct?  And, if he is correct, is he going about it in the right way?Today's Kingdom Culture Conversation is going to be very interesting!Stuart Delony founded his blog and podcast--Snarky Faith--and it has grown to have a national reach.  His tagline is "Radio for the Spiritually Disenfranchised" and he's been prominently featured within the documentary, "In God we Trump"--an expose on the American church and its relationship with President Donald Trump.  With trademark snarky-ness as a key element of his communication tact, he can be seen as abrasive but the awkward part of it is, there are times where he may be right.Or, is he?  Today, you'll hear from Stuart directly and get the chance to decide.To learn more about Stuart Delony and Snarky Faith, please visit SnarkyFaith.com.To read the specific blog post that we discuss within the episode, "Culture Wars Distract from Jesus' Call", please follow this link.

Find peace in the ebb and flow of life’s experiences. Life is a balance of highs and lows, light and shadow. This meditation helps you accept and appreciate both, guiding you to see the beauty in contrast and the lessons in every moment.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

To love God is to love duality- accepting that His will and creations have contrasts. He's established the sun and moon, like He's conceived good and evil. As mature followers of Christ, we must accept what we don't understand or perceive as bad- knowing all things work together for our good. Though nobody enjoys the rain, it's the storms that nourish the harvest. Love God for who He is, even when you don't comprehend what He does. Stay blessed, not stressed!!!

Following the death of Stephen persecution broke out forcing believers to flee to Judea and Samaria. We read of Phillip faithfully preaching the Gospel in Samaria leading many to Jesus, including Simon the sorcerer who attempted to buy the power of the Holy Spirit.

"But what I didn't realize is that the main reason they wanted us in China was so that they could study our business model and figure out how to copy it over time. And that was something I wasn't expecting, but I should have. If I were less naive, And if I were better prepared, I would have realized that was the intention. So the original title, the working title I had for my book, which I had to change because the publisher didn't like it, my original title was 'One Bed, Two Dreams' (同床异梦).   Because that's a phrase that most Chinese are familiar with." - Ken Wilcox Fresh out of the studio, Ken Wilcox, former CEO of Silicon Valley Bank and author of "The China Business Conundrum", shares his experiences establishing Silicon Valley Bank's joint venture in China, uncovering the challenges of navigating cultural differences, guanxi, and examine China's playbook in bringing successful foreign ventures onshore.

AN ELECTION WITH THE STARKEST OF CONTRASTS

With the White House and Congress up for grabs this election, anticipation in the healthcare industry is high. Shifts in healthcare policy will influence how care is paid for and delivered, which will of course influence the flow of investment dollars in both public and private markets.During the first episode of a four-part series on election implications, beltway insider Julie Barnes laid out potential scenarios for the direction healthcare policy might take depending on election outcomes. With that background, Part 2 of the series zooms in on healthcare investing. For more than 20 years – and now six presidential election cycles – Richard Close has covered the healthcare space as a Wall Street analyst. He was one of the first analysts covering healthcare technology and as Managing Director, Digital and Tech-Enabled Health Equity Research at Canaccord Genuity, he focuses on introducing the investment community to disruptive and innovative companies that are leading the digital transformation in healthcare. In this episode of Healthcare is Hard, Richard talked to Keith Figlioli about the election and how it could impact investments in the healthcare sector. A few of the topics they discussed include:Predictions on priorities. Healthcare has not been a major focus this election cycle and Richard doesn't believe either candidate has shared many specifics about their plans for health policy. But he discussed general expectations like an increase in Medicare drug price negotiations under a Harris Administration, or giving states more control of Medicaid under a Trump Administration. Regardless of who takes the White House, he sees an increasing focus on addressing employer health costs, driven by forecasts for an 8% increase next year – the highest jump in more than a decade.Contrasts in public vs. private markets. Richard says healthcare investors in public markets tend to “paint with a broad brush” and are focused on the short-term. Because of this, he says struggles at large-cap managed care companies in recent years have influenced overall investor sentiment. Once these companies get beyond current challenges and start hitting their numbers, he believes it will open the market and drive improved valuation for smaller and mid-cap companies. On the other hand, Richard says investors in private markets look more deeply into sub-sectors and are placing bets for the long run. Optimism for health tech. With healthcare accounting for 20% of the economy and continuing to grow, Richard sees technology as a primary lever to help bend the cost curve. He's optimistic about the future opportunity for investors in both public and private markets, and sees an opportunity for the IPO window to potentially open up after the election. He says there are a handful of companies that are profitable and have been growing revenue that may be ready to test the IPO market in 2025.To hear Richard and Keith discuss these topics and more, listen to this episode of Healthcare is Hard: A Podcast for Insiders.

In pp. 77–79 of The Defense of the Faith (first edition), Cornelius Van Til addresses the fundamental differences between Christian and non-Christian perspectives on ethics, particularly focusing on the role of the will of God as foundational to ethical systems. Van Til begins by asserting that God's will is absolute and self-determinative. God is eternally good, not becoming good through a process, but being so by his very nature. Unlike humans, God does not have to achieve goodness; it is intrinsic to his eternal character. Therefore, God is both absolutely necessary and absolutely free. Van Til introduces a key distinction between Christian and non-Christian viewpoints. Christians uphold the concept of an absolutely self-determinative God, who is the necessary presupposition for all human activity. Non-Christian ethics, however, assume that if the Christian God were real, he would stifle ethical activity. This is because non-theistic views perceive God and man as having wills conditioned by an environment, implying that God must also achieve goodness through a process. Van Til critiques Platonic philosophy, noting that Plato's conception of “the Good” was ultimate, but his god was not. For Plato, “the Good” was abstract and separated from a fully personal God, leaving the ultimate reality as dependent on the element of Chance. Thus, even if Plato spoke of the Good, it was not self-determined or sovereign in the Christian sense. Modern idealist philosophers tried to build on Platonic thought by proposing an “absolutely self-determinative Experience,” but ultimately failed, according to Van Til, because they made God dependent on the space-time universe, blending time and eternity. As a result, God became dependent on external processes rather than being sovereign over them. The core ethical difference between Christianity and non-Christian systems is the acceptance or rejection of an ultimately self-determinative God. Van Til argues that without the presupposition of God as absolute, there can be no coherent or purposeful human experience, including ethics. The absolute sovereignty of God is not a hindrance to human responsibility but rather its foundation. Van Til makes a point to distinguish Christian doctrine from philosophical determinism. While both affirm necessity, philosophical determinism is impersonal, suggesting that everything is determined by blind, impersonal forces. Christianity, in contrast, asserts that the ultimate reality is personal; God's sovereign will underlies the possibility of genuine human freedom and responsibility.
