In this podcast episode, we delve into the significant impact of a recent memorial service for Charlie Kirk, which reportedly garnered an astonishing viewership of approximately 100 million individuals. This unprecedented event served not only as a tribute but also emerged as a remarkable platform for the dissemination of the Gospel, illustrating the profound influence of faith in contemporary society. We explore the implications of such widespread engagement with Christian worship and address the necessity for ongoing prayer for both the ministries involved and the vast audience reached. Through our discussion, we emphasize the importance of embracing community and collective worship, as well as the need for each individual to reflect on their personal faith journey. As we navigate these themes, we encourage listeners to consider their own legacy and the enduring impact of their beliefs on others.Takeaways: The recent memorial service for Charlie Kirk garnered an unprecedented viewership of approximately one hundred million individuals, highlighting the impact of faith-based gatherings. The concept of sin is explained as missing the target of God's will, emphasizing the importance of striving for righteousness in our lives. It is essential for Christians to observe a day of rest, or Sabbath, to rejuvenate physically and spiritually, thus preventing burnout and promoting well-being. Worshipping alongside individuals from diverse cultures can enhance one's spiritual experience, fostering a sense of unity that transcends language barriers. The legacy one leaves behind should reflect genuine love and commitment to faith, aiming to inspire future generations to pursue their understanding of truth.

A groundbreaking study has sent shockwaves through the world of modern romance, revealing that couples who meet through online dating platforms may be missing out on the spark that fuels lasting love. Analyzing data from 50 countries, those who find their partners via apps or websites report significantly lower relationship satisfaction and feelings of love compared to couples who meet offline. The findings suggest that the convenience of swiping right comes at a cost, with online daters experiencing less emotional connection and weaker relationship quality. The Internet has fundamentally reshaped how people meet and form romantic relationships. But how significant are these changes, and what do they mean for relationship quality? In a large-scale, cross-cultural study using nationally representative samples from 50 countries, we examined the prevalence of online partner meeting, the demographic correlates of this trend, and its association with relationship satisfaction and experienced love.Analyzing data from 6,646 partnered individuals (Mage = 41.45, SDage = 13.81), we found that 16 % of participants met their partners online, with this figure rising to 21 % among those who initiated their romantic relationships after 2010. Individuals in shorter relationships and those with lower socioeconomic status (SES) were more likely to have met their partners online. We found no significant differences in the likelihood of online relationship formation based on gender or age.On average, participants who met their partners online reported lower relationship satisfaction and lower intensity of experienced love compared to those who met offline, with effect sizes ranging from small to medium. Given that online dating continues to grow worldwide, our findings underscore the need to enhance support for improving relationship quality among all couples, particularly those who met their partners online.From fleeting matches to fading passion, the data paints a sobering picture of digital romance, raising questions about whether algorithms can truly ignite the flame of true love. Could the old-fashioned meet-cute still hold the key to lasting happiness, or are we doomed to scroll through lackluster love stories?Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/depraved-and-debaucherous--5267208/support.Contact KOP for professional podcast production, imaging, and web design services at http://www.kingofpodcasts.comSupport KOP by subscribing to his YouTube channel and search for King Of PodcastsFollow KOP on X and TikTok @kingofpodcasts (F Meta!)Listen to KOP's other programs, Podcasters Row… and the Wrestling is Real Wrestling Podcast and The Broadcasters Podcast.Buy KOP a Coffee https://buymeacoffee.com/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a PayPal https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=3TAB983ZQPNVLDrop KOP a Venmo https://account.venmo.com/u/kingofpodcastsDrop KOP a CashApp https://cash.app/$kingofallpodcasts

In this episode, Alvean and Doug offer some thoughts on how to energize and remain open to thsoe diferences seeing them as opportunities rather than obstacles.

Loving others and communicating respectfully across differences isn't easy—sometimes it's not even something we want to do. It's far more comfortable to stay in circles of sameness than to engage those with different beliefs, backgrounds, and perspectives. In this breakout session from TGC's 2024 Women's Conference, Vanessa Hawkins explains how growing in cross-cultural competence is not just helpful for communication—it's a key part of our spiritual formation as disciples of Christ.

Is the label "biblical" helping or hurting how we approach faith, church, and cultural challenges? In this thought-provoking episode of the Voxology Podcast, Mike and Tim explore the pitfalls of using "biblical" as a rigid brand, how it impacts theology, and its effects on navigating issues like justice, community, and interpretation of Scripture. They discuss the importance of reading the Bible in community, embracing humility, and fostering critical thinking to form faithful and wise communities. Drawing on listener feedback, they tackle how Scripture has been used both to liberate and to harm and ask what it means to embody a cruciform way of living. The conversation dives into the role of the church in society, the balance between individual and communal faith practices, and the dangers of reducing the Bible to oversimplified categories. With humor, deep insight, and a commitment to justice and Jesus' teachings, this episode invites you to rethink how we engage with Scripture and one another. #bible #selfimprovement #foundationforintentionalcommunity #biblestudy #importanceofchristiancommunity #bible #solascriptura #livingbythebook #eisegesisvs.exegesis #biblestudy Chapters 00:00 Introduction and Week Recap 02:51 Modeling for a Glamping Resort 06:05 Podcast Updates and Listener Feedback 09:07 Discussion on Bible Accessibility and Interpretation 11:57 The Role of Community in Bible Reading 18:09 Intent Behind Bible Study 21:05 Unity and Diversity in the Bible 26:00 The Purpose of the Bible in Community 30:09 Critique of Biblical Branding 34:02 Closing Thoughts on Wisdom and Learning 35:25 The Limitations of Biblical Prepackaging 38:51 The Harm of Misusing Biblical Concepts 44:52 Understanding the Bible as a Cross-Cultural Experience 51:59 The Three Elements of Biblical Interpretation 59:52 The Importance of Context in Biblical Texts 01:06:01 The Dark History of Biblical Misinterpretation 01:09:55 Navigating Modern Misinformation and Biblical Understanding As always, we encourage and would love discussion as we pursue.

Send us a textIn this midweek edition of the Customer Success Playbook, Cairo Marsh returns to the mic to explore the layered world of empathetic marketing across cultures. From the Bronx to Tokyo, Cairo's lived experience adds a global lens to his practical insights on designing connection-first marketing strategies. He unpacks how empathy drives retention, not just acquisition, and reveals a three-tiered framework for building brand relationships based on product, brand identity, and social capital.Detailed Analysis: Cairo Marsh is back for part two, and the conversation dives even deeper. What begins as a lighthearted exchange about food adventures in Tokyo quickly transforms into a tactical discussion on what it means to build marketing strategies that resonate across diverse cultural contexts.The heart of this episode lies in Cairo's model of connection:Functional (product value)Emotional (brand resonance)Social (status or identity alignment)By structuring messaging and experiences around these layers, brands can meet customers where they are—geographically and emotionally. Cairo shares how this model works globally, with examples from his own bi-continental agency experience.But Cairo doesn't stop at strategy. He addresses the million-dollar question: how do you measure the impact of empathy? His answer is both practical and powerful: combine transactional data with perceptual insights to understand not just what customers do, but why they do it. That "why," he argues, is the leading indicator of business success.Crucially, the episode draws a bridge between marketing and customer success. Cairo emphasizes that empathy shouldn't end at conversion. It's the glue that holds the entire post-sale journey together—retention, loyalty, and advocacy all benefit when brands treat customers like humans, not just metrics.This conversation is a masterclass in global customer connection and a blueprint for embedding empathy across every phase of the customer journey. It's also a prelude to the next episode, where Cairo returns to unpack how AI fits into the empathy equation.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookCheck out https://funnelstory.ai/ for more details about Funnelstory.

In a Minneapolis rehearsal room, a group of Somali musicians gathers in a circle, playing music rooted in the cafés of Mogadishu. The sound is emotional, rhythmic and steeped in memory. It's called “Somali blues.”“The lyrics are just showing you what it means,” says Ahmed Ismail Yusuf, the group's leader. The style is similar to what you might have heard in Somalia before the civil war.“It is this lugubrious, lamentation [of] love not returned.”Yusuf and the small outfit — called Araa — are rehearsing for an upcoming concert, “Meet You at the Crossroads.” The concert is co-produced by the University of St. Thomas' Jay Phillips Center for Interreligious Studies and the Cultural Fluency Initiative.“This is really about the life of the city. There are more cultural groups in the Twin Cities than ever,” said David Jordan Harris, who works with the Jay Phillips Center and curated the concert. “Yet, do we know each other? How do we learn about each other? And you know, no better method than our musical traditions.” “Meet You at the Crossroads” will bring together Somali blues and songs inspired by Black gospel music. The idea came from a previous experiment Harris developed with Beck Lee, who runs the Cultural Fluency Initiative. “We did sort of a proof of concept concert salon a little while ago where we where we juxtaposed Sephardic music and Somali music,” Lee said. “It was just interesting to be able to experience those two musical cultures and juxtaposition and talk about it.”This time, Lee and Harris invited Yusuf to lead the Somali music, and JD Steele to bring the Black soul repertoire.“I love cross-cultural, cross-genre projects, because I've been doing them my entire career,” said Steele, known for his long career in the performing arts, and as a member of the well known family band, The Steeles. “Combining multicultural communities, it just excites me.”Steele will perform with his own band and the MacPhail Community Youth Choir, which he directs. Steele and Yusuf are also collaborating on a new song that the youth choir will sing at the concert. During rehearsal with the choir, Yusuf said it had been a long time since he'd taken part in something like it.“The last one that I was [in], was in Somalia,” Yusuf said, adding praise for Steele's work with the choir. “Seriously, you can see the master in hand.”As the performances approach, Steele said the goal is simple: to leave people feeling better than when they arrived.“Because right now, the need for uplifting, encouragement and inspiration is very palpable in our communities. So you know that's our responsibility as artists — is to uplift and inspire and encourage,” Steele said. The first concert takes place April 6 at the University of St. Thomas, launching the school's Culture of Encounter Ideas Festival. Another performance is set for April 27 at St. John's University in Collegeville.Correction (April 4, 2025): This story has been updated with the correct name of the concert series.

Send us a textBefore we dive into uncovering the language of the Universe, I'd love for you to pause, take a deep breath. Exhale. And remember. Thich Nhat Hanh wrote, "Our breath is the bridge connecting our body and our mind. Returning to our breathing, and following it all the way through from the beginning to the end with awareness, brings body and mind back together, and reminds us of the miracle of the present moment."When was the last time that, while the outside world hollered for your precious attention and energy - distracting - annoying, that you caught an inkling, felt a deep knowing that if you didn't shut all that crap out and pay attention you were going to miss something important?Maybe what you would've missed was a message from a loved one that passed on years prior. Or it was a whisper not to enter an intersection on that yellow light, or it was a song on the canned music at the grocery store or mall that has always held deep meaning for you, or it was a reminder that you didn't lock your home; or that you haven't heard from your daughter in too long, or a reminder to schedule that vet appointment for your dog.What came to your mind? In that moment you witnessed the Bridge; a message was sent, seen and understood. STILL through all that outside noise, you heard the message! Acknowledging that helps it to happen again. And again. In less subtle ways, too.That juicy in-between space is not just on display at times when a set of supernatural conditions are met, like, say, a full moon, Halloween, summer solstice, sunrise, the passing of a loved one, etc. The Bridge (or the veil as some prefer to call it) is always there. What's different about those woo-sanctioned moments is we go into those times EXPECTING a message, anticipating the delivery of some deeper knowing, divine guidance, or communication with an ancestor. We are pre-primed to witness the supernatural. It's the energetic equivalent of setting our radio dial to a clear station. Well, bring that open mind to each fresh day! Give it a try, and see if you experience more of it. I wonder if that's the importance of morning minutes? Making a daily practice of sitting in silence to hear direction? Confirmation? That feels true. I'll check in with you on this next week, and let's see if we can normalize hearing from the Universe. This week, we turn to the familiar across the globe - the symbols, stories, and signs that seem to resonate across time and geography. These hints to the language of the Universe even come in the form of melody. Ever heard a song that felt like an old friend you lost track of for a bit? Seen a bunch of references to rabbits, that spotted one out on a walk and wondered if the animal represented some deep knowledge?What to read/listen/watch NEXT!The Present, Curious Cat Episode on BuzzsproutHave you tried the GoodPods app yet?

Human fathers exhibit hormonal shifts in testosterone, prolactin, and oxytocin, enabling flexible responses to parenting. In species with costly paternal care, these shifts balance mating and parenting efforts, suggesting evolved neuroendocrine capacities that support fatherhood. Today, fathers collaborate with mothers worldwide, though their roles vary across cultures and family systems, much as they likely did evolutionarily. Using research from the Philippines, Congo-Brazzaville, and the U.S., alongside cross-cultural data, this talk examines how men's hormonal physiology adapts to parenthood and influences family behaviors and bonds within diverse ecological and cultural contexts.

We've been thinking a lot about culture recently, and reflecting on how–whether or not we're aware of it–culture is a force that's always exerting influence on us. It's typically only when we get outside of our daily routine, our city or even our country, and are confronted with new ways of doing things that we can clearly see the values, norms, and practices that make up the culture we live in. Today, we're re-running a thought-provoking conversation we had with Michele Gelfand about notions of what she calls “tight” and “loose” cultures. It's a conversation that helps illuminate some of the invisible forces of culture, and also sheds light on how understanding these forces helps us better navigate the world. We hope you'll take another listen and enjoy. Have a question for Russ? Send it our way in writing or via voice memo, and it might be featured on an upcoming episode.
