Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Today's shout-out goes to Corey Dill from Auburn, ME. Thank you for partnering with us through Project23. Your faithfulness is helping others find truth in God's Word. This study is for you. Our text today is Mark 7:1-5: Now when the Pharisees gathered to him, with some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem, they saw that some of his disciples ate with hands that were defiled, that is, unwashed. (For the Pharisees and all the Jews do not eat unless they wash their hands properly, holding to the tradition of the elders, and when they come from the marketplace, they do not eat unless they wash. And there are many other traditions that they observe, such as the washing of cups and pots and copper vessels and dining couches.) And the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not walk according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” — Mark 7:1-5 Jesus is about to challenge a deeply embedded cultural and religious practice—and the collision is unavoidable. The Pharisees come down from Jerusalem, the religious epicenter. But instead of focusing on Jesus' message or miracles, they fixate on something petty: his disciples didn't wash their hands before eating. Now, this wasn't about hygiene—it was about ceremonial cleanliness. Over time, religious leaders added layer upon layer of rules—man-made rituals meant to “guard” God's law. But in guarding it, they buried it. They replaced heartfelt obedience with outward performance. That's the danger. Religion becomes a show. Tradition becomes a substitute for transformation. And here's where it hits home. We do this, too. — We go to church but don't listen. — We pray before meals but don't pray from the heart. — We read a verse a day but don't seek to apply it. — We volunteer, tithe, serve—but resist surrender. Why? Because those things are easier to manage than dealing with our motives, bitterness, pride, or hidden sin. They're visible. Comfortable. Controllable. But Jesus didn't die to give us clean habits—he died to give us clean hearts. So, what traditions are you clinging to while avoiding true obedience? Are there places where you've mistaken the routine for the relationship? God never asked for clean hands at the table—he asked for clean hearts before his throne. #HeartOverHabit, #JesusOverTradition, #CleanHeartsNotJustHands ASK THIS: Where am I relying on tradition instead of real relationship with Jesus? What habits have become heartless rituals in my life? Do I obey God from the heart—or just to be seen? When was the last time I confessed a hidden motive to God? DO THIS: Identify one spiritual routine this week you've been doing on autopilot—and ask God to reawaken your heart through it. PRAY THIS: Lord, I don't want empty religion. Wake up my heart. Make my obedience real. Strip away what looks good but lacks love. Amen. PLAY THIS: “Heart of Worship” – Matt Redman.

Reinventing the Scorecard: Principles for Effective Disciple Making Welcome to the final episode of our series on the 10 principles of disciple making! In this episode, we celebrate your journey so far and dive into the crucial topic of reinventing the scorecard for disciple making. We discuss the traditional ways churches have measured success, such as attendance and donations, and why these metrics may not fully capture the essence of true disciple making. We explore the importance of tracking 'controllable' like sharing faith and prayer, versus 'uncontrollable' like conversions and baptisms. The conversation also delves into real-world examples from churches and movements worldwide, including impressive results from India. Whether you're looking to transform how success is measured in your church or seeking inspiration for personal disciple-making efforts, this episode offers valuable insights and practical advice.

In this episode:            I talk about the what, why and how of leveraging the behind the scenes of being an upper elementary reading teacher to help you end the year strong-ish.We talk about:1.What is the behind the scenes of teaching.2. Why you should focus on controlling the controllables at the end of the school year. 3. What is your M.S.O. and how do you plan for it?Quotables:-Teaching requires a lot of teachers and most of what it requires is intellectual. This means that there is often not a lot of room leftover for unnecessary real estate in our brains and yet we give a lot of this space away rent free.  -It's important to give some thought to our M.S.O. (our motivation, self care and organization) It's also important to put some intention behind these so that we have enough mental bandwidth to generate creative solutions to all of the other things that are running around rent free in our minds. - I like to think of self care as an act of resistance, because education is a system that will try to take all of everything you give it. Links to resources mentioned in the podcast:Sign up for the Finish Strong-ish Workshop Here!Book a discovery call for one on one coaching or school professional developmentControl the Controllable in Sports by: Sidd SamplaNext Steps: If this episode resonated with you, take a screenshot of the episode and tag me on instagram @msevamireles. This helps my show remain active in order to continue to help other upper elementary teachers get ideas they can use in their class today.The Reading Teacher's Playbook Search for my show on iTunes or Stitcher.Click on ‘Ratings and Reviews.'Under ‘Customer Reviews,' click on “Write a Review.”Sign in with your iTunes or Stitcher log-in infoLeave a Rating: Tap the greyed out stars (5 being the best)Leave a Review: Type in a Title and Description of your thoughts on my podcastClick ‘Send'Leave a Rating and Review:

Is hypomania something you can use to your advantage, or is that a dangerous game to try? In this episode, Gabe Howard, who lives with bipolar disorder, and Dr. Nicole Washington, a board certified psychiatrist, take a deep dive into the nuances of hypomania, its diagnostic criteria, and the widespread belief that it can be harnessed for productivity. They explore why some people may mistake elevated moods for hypomania, the risks of trying to "ride the lightning," and how support systems and self-awareness play crucial roles in managing this symptom. Whether you're seeking clarity on hypomania or practical advice for managing it, this episode offers thought-provoking insights and actionable takeaways. "To point out that when we talk about managing hypomania, we first must make sure you are truly hypomanic. And I don't know anybody who is productive after four days of lack of sleep or four days of not being able to calm down, rest, think straight. But there's always this advice on how to harness hypomania and turn it into a $1 million business. Which also, not for nothing, sounds a little hypomanic to me." ~Gabe Howard, Host To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page.

On this episode of Agency Nation Radio, we meet Haley Andrews, vice president of Gaines Insurance Agency in El Dorado Hills, California. Growing up in a family where insurance was a topic of conversation at the dinner table, Andrews' future in insurance was written in the stars. After earning a degree in business with a concentration in insurance and risk management from Sacramento State University, Andrews accepted an internship from Nationwide. However, a few years later, she answered the call from her father, Ted Gaines, to join the family agency. Since then, Andrews has become involved in local associations, serving as president of Independent Insurance Agents of Sacramento (IIAB Sacramento) in 2023. This year, she is serving as the Northern California director on the board of the Independent Insurance Agents of California (IIAB Cal). However, operating in California has its challenges. “It's not so sunny and beautiful here in California when it comes to insurance,” Gaines says. “Nevertheless, our agency works well as a team by constantly communicating how we can be dynamic to meet our client's needs,” she says. “The key for us is to always work together and just focus on what we can control: our attitude and how we work with our clients.” Agency Nation Radio is where insurance professionals turn on the mic and share unscripted stories about leadership, technology, marketing, success, and failure—stories that helped make them the professionals they are today. From Main Street USA to the pages of Independent Agent magazine—we've got the stories you want to hear.

Diffusion models have achieved great progress in image animation due to powerful generative capabilities. However, maintaining spatio-temporal consistency with detailed information from the input static image over time (e.g., style, background, and object of the input static image) and ensuring smoothness in animated video narratives guided by textual prompts still remains challenging. In this paper, we introduce Cinemo, a novel image animation approach towards achieving better motion controllability, as well as stronger temporal consistency and smoothness. In general, we propose three effective strategies at the training and inference stages of Cinemo to accomplish our goal. At the training stage, Cinemo focuses on learning the distribution of motion residuals, rather than directly predicting subsequent via a motion diffusion model. Additionally, a structural similarity index-based strategy is proposed to enable Cinemo to have better controllability of motion intensity. At the inference stage, a noise refinement technique based on discrete cosine transformation is introduced to mitigate sudden motion changes. Such three strategies enable Cinemo to produce highly consistent, smooth, and motion-controllable results. Compared to previous methods, Cinemo offers simpler and more precise user controllability. Extensive experiments against several state-of-the-art methods, including both commercial tools and research approaches, across multiple metrics, demonstrate the effectiveness and superiority of our proposed approach. 2024: Xin Ma, Yaohui Wang, Gengyun Jia, Xinyuan Chen, Yuan-Fang Li, Cunjian Chen, Yu Qiao https://arxiv.org/pdf/2407.15642v2

With so much going on in culture and society, it's easy to drown yourself in the sea of relevant issues that need to be addressed. Unfortunately, so much of what we see and hear is largely outside of our control. But you can control yourself. And, that's the good news. Today, I'm joined by Kyle Thompson with Undaunted Life to talk about how to do just that. We discuss ignorance and initiative, why diversity alone doesn't really mean much, what Kyle has dubbed, “the 11th Commandment,” why compromise isn't all it's cracked up to be, and how to be the man your people need you to be.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Response to Aschenbrenner's "Situational Awareness", published by Rob Bensinger on June 6, 2024 on LessWrong. (Cross-posted from Twitter.) My take on Leopold Aschenbrenner's new report: I think Leopold gets it right on a bunch of important counts. Three that I especially care about: 1. Full AGI and ASI soon. (I think his arguments for this have a lot of holes, but he gets the basic point that superintelligence looks 5 or 15 years off rather than 50+.) 2. This technology is an overwhelmingly huge deal, and if we play our cards wrong we're all dead. 3. Current developers are indeed fundamentally unserious about the core risks, and need to make IP security and closure a top priority. I especially appreciate that the report seems to get it when it comes to our basic strategic situation: it gets that we may only be a few years away from a truly world-threatening technology, and it speaks very candidly about the implications of this, rather than soft-pedaling it to the degree that public writings on this topic almost always do. I think that's a valuable contribution all on its own. Crucially, however, I think Leopold gets the wrong answer on the question "is alignment tractable?". That is: OK, we're on track to build vastly smarter-than-human AI systems in the next decade or two. How realistic is it to think that we can control such systems? Leopold acknowledges that we currently only have guesswork and half-baked ideas on the technical side, that this field is extremely young, that many aspects of the problem look impossibly difficult (see attached image), and that there's a strong chance of this research operation getting us all killed. "To be clear, given the stakes, I think 'muddling through' is in some sense a terrible plan. But it might be all we've got." Controllable superintelligent AI is a far more speculative idea at this point than superintelligent AI itself. I think this report is drastically mischaracterizing the situation. 'This is an awesome exciting technology, let's race to build it so we can reap the benefits and triumph over our enemies' is an appealing narrative, but it requires the facts on the ground to shake out very differently than how the field's trajectory currently looks. The more normal outcome, if the field continues as it has been, is: if anyone builds it, everyone dies. This is not a national security issue of the form 'exciting new tech that can give a country an economic or military advantage'; it's a national security issue of the form 'we've found a way to build a doomsday device, and as soon as anyone starts building it the clock is ticking on how long before they make a fatal error and take themselves out, and take the rest of the world out with them'. Someday superintelligence could indeed become more than a doomsday device, but that's the sort of thing that looks like a realistic prospect if ASI is 50 or 150 years away and we fundamentally know what we're doing on a technical level - not if it's more like 5 or 15 years away, as Leopold and I agree. The field is not ready, and it's not going to suddenly become ready tomorrow. We need urgent and decisive action, but to indefinitely globally halt progress toward this technology that threatens our lives and our children's lives, not to accelerate ourselves straight off a cliff. Concretely, the kinds of steps we need to see ASAP from the USG are: Spearhead an international alliance to prohibit the development of smarter-than-human AI until we're in a radically different position. The three top-cited scientists in AI (Hinton, Bengio, and Sutskever) and the three leading labs (Anthropic, OpenAI, and DeepMind) have all publicly stated that this technology's trajectory poses a serious risk of causing human extinction (in the CAIS statement). It is absurd on its face to let any private company...
