Sermon for the Vigil of Easter on Luke 24:1-11.What first sounded like an idle tale and a bunch of nonsense to the apostles slowly became an undeniable certainty. Jesus died but lives. And now, because He lives, death would have no hold on them because it had no hold on Jesus.

This whole day is full of life and business lessons about the state of our world not only 2000 some years ago but right now. Whether you are a believer or not, the lessons about group psychology, leadership, and how we live our lives with our hopes and fears and what we do when faced with difficult decisions, all come to bear and the stories and truths are told. And I am going to be so bold to suggest that there is something that we can learn that's very significant from what happened that day from the bad guy himself, Pontius Pilate ... This will challenge you in many ways, I guarantee it! ... And then STOSH the robot wanted to have his say about the program.... "Behold the Man: A Good Friday Reflection on Truth, Power, and Pilate"   First-Person Summary and Review: On this Good Friday, I took to the airwaves once again—not to preach, but to provoke. Not with controversy, but with curiosity. You see, I asked a question that might seem odd on this sacred day: Can we learn something from Pontius Pilate? The man who washed his hands, yet left a mark on all of history. This broadcast wasn't a sermon—it was a reflection. A conversation. An invitation to step into the Transformation Zone and ask yourself what you believe is true—not just in religion, but in life, leadership, and legacy. Because Pilate, in a moment of human weakness or accidental brilliance, gave us two of the most powerful phrases in all of human history: “What is truth?” “Behold the man.” Think about it. On one of the darkest days ever recorded, amid power struggles and political games, Jesus stood silent before the empire. And that silence spoke louder than any defense. Pilate saw something in him—something unshakable. Strength. Clarity. Conviction. A man who knew the truth. And whether you believe Jesus was a prophet, a revolutionary, the Son of God—or even if you believe none of it at all—this story remains one of the most studied, debated, and inspiring dramas of all time. It teaches us about fear, courage, responsibility, and that moment when someone asks you to make a choice… and you know it matters. Takeaways – To Remember, Reflect, and Share:

Jackie Healy-Rae Jr has landed himself a role as special adviser to junior minister Michael Healy-Rae, who, yes, just so happens to be his father. Jackie also holds the distinction of being the first such special adviser with a criminal record. Should the conviction have blocked his path? And what does the Taoiseach think?

The "Mary Poppins of Marketing" Emma Clayton reveals the real crisis CMOs face in creating positive impact in their organizations. With 32% less senior marketing roles, fewer truly marketing-qualified leaders in roles and a diminshed seat at the C-suite table, the challenge is huge. Reclaiming marketing power and respect starts with executing well as an exceptional leader focused on the "Three Cs": Curiosity, Clarity and Conviction. "You don't get what you deserve. You get what you work for. You get what you communicate."

Are you just sitting in the pew—or living a faith that rings out? In this inspiring message, Matthew Balentine uses the metaphor of a decorative bell to challenge Christians to live boldly and authentically. Based on 1 Thessalonians 1, this sermon calls believers to move beyond passive faith into Spirit-filled conviction and gospel-driven action.

In this passageJesus gives us at least three examples of how to silence our critics. First, we should bewilling to confront criticism with bold truth. The Pharisees invited Jesus todinner not to learn but to accuse. They used a suffering man as bait, hoping tocatch Jesus breaking Sabbath laws. Jesus saw through their motives andconfronted them directly, asking, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath?” Thiswasn't just a question; it was a challenge to their inconsistent beliefs. Theirsilence showed they couldn't answer without exposing their hypocrisy, as theylacked the power to heal, and their rules didn't align with God's heart. Jesussilenced them by speaking truth boldly, rooted in God's priorities. When weface critics, whether at work, home, or in our faith, we can follow Hisexample. Instead of shrinking back, we can answer their questions oraccusations with questions and share the truth that points to God's love andjustice. For example, if someone challenges your generosity, you might calmlyask, “Why should we withhold help when someone's hurting?” Bold truth, spokenwith grace, can shift the conversation and quiet unfair criticism. Second, we can disarm ourcritics with undeniable compassion. The Pharisees thought they had Jesustrapped: heal and break the Sabbath, or ignore the man and seem heartless.Jesus didn't hesitate. He healed the man and sent him safely away, showingcompassion that no one could argue with. Then He pressed further: “Which ofyou, if your ox or son fell into a pit, wouldn't pull them out on the Sabbath?”This exposed their double standard—they'd act for their own interests butcriticized His mercy. Their silence proved His point: compassion reflects God'sheart more than rigid rules. When critics attack us, acts of genuine love canbe our strongest defense. Imagine helping a struggling coworker despite gossipabout your motives. Compassionate actions speak louder than words, makingcriticism look petty. By loving others visibly and selflessly, we can silencedetractors, showing a faith that's impossible to dispute. And third, we can overcometheir criticism with unshakable conviction. Jesus didn't just heal andleave; He justified His actions with logic the Pharisees couldn't refute. Heknew their real issue was His influence, not the Sabbath. By pointing outthey'd save their animals on the Sabbath, He revealed their criticism wasn'tabout principle but envy. Their silence showed they had no comeback. Jesus'conviction in God's truth was unshakable. We face critics who may twist ouractions or question our faith. Like Jesus, we can stand firm, grounded in whatwe know is right. If someone mocks your commitment to prayer or service,respond with confidence in God's call to love and obey. Conviction doesn't needto be loud, especially when it's steady, rooted in faith. When we live withintegrity, critics often run out of arguments, as our lives reflect God's truthmore than their words can counter. Challenge This week, identify asituation where you face criticism, maybe for your faith, choices, or kindness.Instead of arguing or retreating, take one step inspired by Jesus: speak atruthful word with grace, show compassion that can't be ignored, or stand firmin your convictions without wavering. For example, if someone questions yourgenerosity, quietly help someone in need anyway. Ask God for wisdom to respondin a way that honors Him and silences unfair attacks through love and truth. Closing PrayerLord Jesus, thank Youfor showing us how to face critics with truth, compassion, and conviction. Giveus wisdom to respond to opposition with grace and courage. Help us live in away that reflects Your heart, silencing critics through love and faithfulness.Amen. Godbless!

A judge has convicted the owner of a Lakeville painting company with a felony for failing to pay his employees for work they did on an apartment building in Minneapolis. Hennepin County says this is the first felony conviction under Minnesota's 2019 wage theft law – which is one of the toughest in the country. Joining Minnesota Now to talk about the conviction, plus the enforcement of wage laws more broadly, is Hennepin County Attorney Mary Moriarty.

Here we go again. It's April and we're excited about the Atlanta Falcons. This organization has teased us all for years.But Michael Penix Jr. justifies optimism into 2025. Everything that preceded this shocking draft pick hasn't been ideal, but if Penix hits? Nothing else matters. (Although I suppose $100 mill is $100 mill.)Let's make sense of it all with our pal Justin Felder of Fox 5 Atlanta on the Go Long Pod. Against all conventional wisdom, at No. 8 overall the night of April 25, 2024, GM Terry Fontenot and head coach Raheem Morris selected the Washington bomber.

I discuss the intricacies of post-conviction petitions and the nuances of the appellate process. As a seasoned appellate lawyer, I shed light on the critical timelines that can make or break an appeal and emphasize the importance of understanding the difference between a direct appeal and post-conviction petitions. I outline the crucial steps that need to be taken immediately following a conviction to ensure all avenues for appeal are properly pursued. With real-life examples and expert advice, I provide invaluable guidance for anyone navigating the complex legal terrain post-conviction. So, if you or someone you know is facing an appeal, this episode is a must-listen. Here's a sneak peek at some of the key takeaways:Timelines are Critical: Always be aware of the deadlines. In Ohio, for instance, the post-conviction petition deadline starts one year from when the trial transcript is filed in the court of appeals on the direct appeal.Know Your Ladders: I always emphasize the importance of understanding the two "ladders" in appellate work—direct appeal and post-conviction. Ignoring one can mean missing vital deadlines and opportunities to raise certain issues.Seek the Right Expertise: For a successful post-conviction petition, it's essential to assemble the right team of expert witnesses. Whether it's medical, psychological, or forensic experts, their involvement can significantly influence the case.Submit your questions to www.lawyertalkpodcast.com.Recorded at Channel 511.Stephen E.

Last week, French opposition leader in the national parliament, Marine le Pen, was found guilty of helping to embezzle €4m of EU funds for use by her party. Alongside a four year sentence, le pen was also barred from running from public office with immediate effect. Over the weekend, le Pen called the ruling political and not judicial. So what effect will the sentence have on the far right in France and across Europe? Political Analyst and Associate Research Fellow at IRIS, The French Institute for International and Strategic Affairs Jean-Yves Camus joins us to discuss.

Hebrews 11:23–40 continues the powerful “Hall of Faith,” highlighting men and women who trusted God in the face of danger, hardship, and uncertainty. From Moses' parents defying Pharaoh to the prophets who endured persecution, this passage celebrates those who chose faith over fear, obedience over comfort, and eternal hope over temporary safety. Some saw great victories; others suffered and died without receiving what was promised—yet all were commended for their faith. Together, their stories point beyond themselves to the greater fulfillment found in Christ.  The Rev. Nathaniel Brown, pastor of Grace Lutheran Church in Correll, MN, Trinity Lutheran Church in Bellingham, MN, and Trinity Lutheran Church in Odessa, MN, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Hebrews 11:23-40.  For centuries, God spoke through prophets, in visions, through fire and thunder on Mount Sinai. But now, Hebrews tells us, He has spoken fully and finally in His Son. This book isn't just another epistle—it's the key that unlocks the Old Testament, revealing how everything was always pointing to Christ. The prophets, the angels, the priesthood, the sacrifices—all find their fulfillment in Him. Over the next several weeks, we'll walk through Hebrews, uncovering its depth, its urgency, and its breathtaking vision of Jesus as the great High Priest, the perfect sacrifice, and the One who is greater than all who came before. If you've ever wondered how the Old and New Testaments connect, how the shadows become substance, this is the book to study. Thy Strong Word, hosted by Rev. Dr. Phil Booe, pastor of St. John Lutheran Church of Luverne, MN, reveals the light of our salvation in Christ through study of God's Word, breaking our darkness with His redeeming light. Each weekday, two pastors fix our eyes on Jesus by considering Holy Scripture, verse by verse, in order to be strengthened in the Word and be equipped to faithfully serve in our daily vocations. Submit comments or questions to: thystrongword@kfuo.org.

Following the crowd is convenient, yet the way of Jesus is the way of conviction. And a life of conviction is costly. 

Marine Le Pen has denounced her recent embezzlement conviction as politically motivated, comparing her movement to that of U-S civil rights leader Martin Luther King Jr. Despite a five-year ban from holding office, her party, National Rally, is framing the ruling as an attack on democracy.As supporters rally behind her in Paris, critics argue the court's decision marks long-overdue accountability.

Conviction isn't about guilt—it's about transformation. This week, we'll study 2 Corinthians 7:9-11 & John 16:8 and see how true repentance leads to freedom and restoration in Christ. Join us as we unpack what it means to be cleansed and forgiven.

As we finish out the Conviction and Embrace series, we will consider what it means to practice conviction in community. What kind of people must we seek to become if we are to speak words of conviction wisely and winsomely into one another's lives? How can we avoid the pitfalls on the one hand of never speaking words of challenge to one another, and on the other hand of doing so in harsh and unredemptive ways that lack all humility and self-awareness? Thankfully, the Scriptures have much to say to help us find our way, so bring a friend and come out on Sunday to learn more together about “Practicing Conviction in Community.”- Series Description - This Lenten season, we will create space for the Lord to move for the sake of growing closer to Jesus and the way of Jesus. The way of Jesus is life and life abundant. It is also life through constraint, sacrifice, and even suffering. Our own missing the mark, our own sin, keeps that life far from us and keeps the work of death close. Pursuing life means giving God space to convict us of sin and to embrace us with forgiveness. Conviction of sin by the God of love gives us space to seek God for life, mercy, and for forgiveness. Condemnation simply closes us in our own darkness. It robs us of hope. Yes, conviction exposes our sin as light piercing darkness. However, the revelatory light of conviction is joined by the warmth of the Father's love for us. We will experience both this Lent as we go deeper with Conviction & Embrace, our Lenten teaching series.

France's National Rally leader Marine Le Pen says she won't give up, after being found guilty of misusing over €4.5 million euros in E-U funds and banned from running for office. correspondent Lisa Louis spoke to Corin Dann.

Discussion Questions What are some disputable matters in our church today that can lead to division? What experiences, beliefs, or habits from your upbringing or past church background influence the way you respond to gray areas or non-essential issues in your spiritual life today? Have you ever held a strong conviction or belief and expressed it in a way that ended up hurting someone or causing division, even though you believed you were right? What happened, and what did you learn from it?

I have been an entrepreneur from 2012-2017 building two products AddoDoc and Babygogo. After selling my company to SHEROES, I and my partner Nansi decided to start up again. But we felt unequipped in our skillset in 2018 to build a large company. We had known 0-1 journeys from our startups but lacked the experience of building 1-10 journeys. Hence was born The Neon Show (Earlier 100x Entrepreneur) to learn from founders and investors, the mindset to scale yourself and your company. This quest still keeps us excited even after 5 years and doing 200+ episodes.We welcome you to our journey to understand what goes behind building a super successful company. Every episode is done with a very selfish motive, that I and Nansi should come out as a better entrepreneur and professional after absorbing the learnings.-------------Check us out on:Website: https://neon.fund/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theneonshoww/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/beneon/Twitter: https://x.com/TheNeonShowwConnect with Siddhartha on:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/siddharthaahluwalia/Twitter: https://x.com/siddharthaa7-------------This video is for informational purposes only.

Wednesday Evening- Pastor Larson- "Great Characteristics of Successful Christians" Daniel 1:5-8

The conviction of France's far-right leader Marine Le Pen for embezzling European Union funds came as a major blow to her, preventing her from running in the 2027 presidential election race. Her party called the trial a 'witch hunt' and she accused the court of making a “political decision”, a sentiment shared by far-right politicians across the world. So, could Le Pen's sentence strengthen far-right parties and benefit their leader's popularity? And could she end up standing as president in any case?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
