Every year, for the past six years, I have presented a forward-looking, three-year strategic plan to the board of directors of MinistryWatch. That plan has not always been perfect. In fact, it has never been perfect. Circumstances change. New funding sources become available, or they dry up. Opportunities and barriers arise. These annual exercises in strategic planning have made real to me a lesson from a 1957 speech by President Dwight D. Eisenhower: “Plans are worthless, but planning is everything.”  One of the values of a plan is that it produces accountability. A plan is a commitment to accomplish certain things in the year ahead, or at least to attempt them. Plans keep us from wandering. They keep us focused. That's why I enjoy the planning process, and it's one reason I want to share certain aspects of our plans for 2026 with you today. I cannot promise you we will accomplish everything in our plan, but I can promise you these are the things I will focus on this year—and I believe they will make MinistryWatch more effective, and will help make you a more faithful steward of the resources God has entrusted to you. Expansion of the MinistryWatch 1000 Database. Six years ago, we had less than 500 ministries in our database. Today we have about 1,350 ministries, representing more than $51 billion in annual revenue. The vast majority of our readers tell us they use this database to help them make giving decisions. A third of our readers say they have changed their giving decisions based on the information in our database. That's real impact, and we want to see that impact grow. Therefore, our goal is to expand our database to 2,000 ministries by the end of 2026. We believe our database is what truly differentiates us from other investigative journalism and “watchdog” organizations, and we intend to “lean in” to that unique asset in 2026.  Increased Use of Artificial Intelligence. Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become all the rage. But MinistryWatch has been using some primitive forms of AI for years. The algorithms of our database and rating systems utilize the principles of AI. We believe that AI presents ethical and practical considerations, but they are considerations journalists have already been dealing with for years — issues such as attribution, plagiarism, and fact-checking. So we are not afraid of AI, and we intend to use it more in the year ahead. We have already developed an AI assessment tool, and we recently published our first story using an AI assist. The growth of AI is inevitable. Using it will not be an option. Our goal will be to use it well and responsibly.  Personalized Giving Portfolio. We hope to roll out this year a new capability in our database, and that is the ability to customize your giving portfolio. You will soon be able to create your own list of ministries — ministries you want to follow, or ministries to which you currently give — and you will receive email notifications of any change in their ratings. We plan to build an app that will allow you to carry this capability around on your smartphone.  Podcast Improvements. I love podcasts, but one of the things I have noticed is that podcasts are everywhere. Worldwide, there are now more than 4 million active podcasts. I'm guessing that you, like me, are getting pickier about what you listen to. I now subscribe to a lot of podcasts, but I don't listen to every episode. That said, I continue to subscribe because I still listen to every second or third episode, and it costs me nothing to skip an episode I'm not interested in. That's why in 2026 MinistryWatch will be producing more episodes. Last year we published about 120 episodes. This year we hope to publish 135 to 150 episodes. You might not like them all, but if you are a regular listener, we believe this increase in content will give you more choices. Oh, and no hard feelings if you don't listen to them all!  More Long Form Print Content. We published nearly 900 stories at MinistryWatch in 2025. In 2026, I don't expect that number will increase significantly, but we do plan to publish longer pieces. Journalism is supposed to provide the “who, what, where, when, how, and why” for events happening in the world. However, the internet is much better at the “what” than it is at the “why.” Providing the “why” provides judgment, discernment, wisdom. These qualities are in short supply or — even when they exist — are often hard to find amidst the banal, the trivial, and the misinformation. We want MinistryWatch to be a place you can trust not just for the “what,” but for the “how” and “why.” To that end, look for more “explainers” and more “guides to giving” of the kind that we published on sex-trafficking this year. A few things about MinistryWatch won't change. We remain committed to being independent, free to users, and — most importantly — guided by a biblical understanding of the world. If this sounds attractive to you…c'mon along. I believe 2026 will be an exciting year.  TO OUR LISTENERS: The mission of MinistryWatch is to help Christian donors become more faithful stewards of the resources God has entrusted to them. Do you know of a story that will help us fulfill our mission, or do you want to give us feedback about this or any other story? If so, please email us at info@ministrywatch.com.

In this episode of the Crazy Wisdom Podcast, host Stewart Alsop sits down with Mike Bakon to explore the fascinating intersection of hardware hacking, blockchain technology, and decentralized systems. Their conversation spans from Mike's childhood fascination with taking apart electronics in 1980s Poland to his current work with ESP32 microcontrollers, LoRa mesh networks, and Cardano blockchain development. They discuss the technical differences between UTXO and account-based blockchains, the challenges of true decentralization versus hybrid systems, and how AI tools are changing the development landscape. Mike shares his vision for incentivizing mesh networks through blockchain technology and explains why he believes mass adoption of decentralized systems will come through abstraction rather than technical education. The discussion also touches on the potential for creating new internet infrastructure using ad hoc mesh networks and the importance of maintaining truly decentralized, permissionless systems in an increasingly surveilled world.

Hardware curiosity drives innovation from childhood - Mike's journey into hardware began as a child in 1980s Poland, where he would disassemble toys like battery-powered cars to understand how they worked. This natural curiosity about taking things apart and understanding their inner workings laid the foundation for his later expertise in microcontrollers like the ESP32 and his deep understanding of both hardware and software integration.2. AI as a research companion, not a replacement for coding - Mike uses AI and LLMs primarily as research tools and coding companions rather than letting them write entire applications. He finds them invaluable for getting quick answers to coding problems, analyzing Git repositories, and avoiding the need to search through Stack Overflow, but maintains anxiety when AI writes whole functions, preferring to understand and write his own code.3. Blockchain decentralization requires trustless consensus verification - The fundamental difference between blockchain databases and traditional databases lies in the consensus process that data must go through before being recorded. Unlike centralized systems where one entity controls data validation, blockchains require hundreds of nodes to verify each block through trustless consensus mechanisms, ensuring data integrity without relying on any single authority.4. UTXO vs account-based blockchains have fundamentally different architectures - Cardano uses an extended UTXO model (like Bitcoin but with smart contracts) where transactions consume existing UTXOs and create new ones, keeping the ledger lean. Ethereum uses account-based ledgers that store persistent state, leading to much larger data requirements over time and making it increasingly difficult for individuals to sync and maintain full nodes independently.5. True interoperability differs fundamentally from bridging - Real blockchain interoperability means being able to send assets directly between different blockchains (like sending ADA to a Bitcoin wallet) without intermediaries. This is possible between UTXO-based chains like Cardano and Bitcoin. Bridges, in contrast, require centralized entities to listen for transactions on one chain and trigger corresponding actions on another, introducing centralization risks.6. Mesh networks need economic incentives for sustainable infrastructure - While technologies like LoRa and Meshtastic enable impressive decentralized communication networks, the challenge lies in incentivizing people to maintain the hardware infrastructure. Mike sees potential in combining blockchain-based rewards (like earning ADA for running mesh network nodes) with existing decentralized communication protocols to create self-sustaining networks.7. Mass adoption comes through abstraction, not education - Rather than trying to educate everyone about blockchain technology, mass adoption will happen when developers can build applications on decentralized infrastructure that users interact with seamlessly, without needing to understand the underlying blockchain mechanics. Users should be able to benefit from decentralization through well-designed interfaces that abstract away the complexity of wallets, addresses, and consensus mechanisms.

Send us a textA neighboring Wi‑Fi, a handful of stolen credentials, and a quiet leap into a high‑value network—the kind of pivot that sounds cinematic until you realize how practical it is. We unpack that playbook and turn it into concrete defenses you can deploy across your environment, from client endpoints and browsers to databases, servers, and industrial control systems.We start at the edge, where phishing, drive‑by downloads, and man‑in‑the‑middle still win far too often. You'll get a clear blueprint for upgrading endpoint security with EDR, strict patching, and browser hardening, plus when to retire or sandbox legacy applets and how to stop sensitive data bleeding from local caches. From there we map the landscape of modern data platforms: the internal, conceptual, and external layers of databases; the resilience of distributed DBs; the interoperability and pitfalls of ODBC; and the security tradeoffs between NoSQL flexibility and relational ACID guarantees. Expect practical guardrails like TLS on every link, parameterized queries for SQLi defense, and role‑based access with tight segregation of duties.Finally, we focus on servers and ICS, where downtime costs real money and, in OT, can impact safety. Learn how to prioritize hardening and patching without breaking legacy apps, isolate critical services to reduce blast radius, centralize logging to a SIEM, and apply the Purdue model to segment OT from IT. We share tested moves for OT environments—firewalls and DMZs, constrained remote access, realistic backup and recovery plans—and explain how to integrate safety and cybersecurity so alarms, procedures, and people work as one.If you find this valuable, subscribe, share it with a teammate who owns Wi‑Fi or databases, and leave a quick review telling us the first control you'll implement this week.

Ajay Kulkarni from Tiger Data (Co-founder/CEO) is on the pod this week with Adam. He asked him to get vulnerable and trace his path to becoming a CEO. They dig into the themes that have shaped his career, and explore how founder values end up forming company culture (whether you intend them to or not). From his enterprise days to building Timescale (and the rename to Tiger Data), we cover the whole journey — even the haters, because haters gonna hate. Here's where it gets really interesting: Agents in the database! Not the hype. The real thing baby. They get into how fast you can go from idea to shipped these days, what it actually means to talk to your database, and the whole API/CLI/MCP/Skills movement.

First, the San Diego County District Attorney is asking for help fighting back against retail theft. Next, new state legislation is looking to put stricter limits on exposure to a toxic gas created by sewage. Also, a mishap at the San Diego Air & Space Museum. Followed by, one San Diego Unified school got a visit from a very special seasonal guest. Finally, we take you to the hidden local gem of Graffiti Gardens in Encanto.

Caroline Bourgeault, a Ninja Realtor® in Pueblo, Colorado, became the #1 agent in her market in just two and a half years. A mother of four (including a newborn) and a recent Ninja Installation graduate, Caroline shares how intentionality, discipline, and deep care for her "extended family" of clients have fueled her rapid rise, without a traditional assistant. Caroline, originally from Australia and now thriving in Pueblo, Colorado, has built a high-production, relationship-based business on pace for 100 transactions in 2025, following 91 transactions in her first full year. She discovered Ninja through the Ninja Selling book, then flew to the Installation seven months pregnant, choosing to double down on her commitment by also enrolling in Ninja Coaching with Steve Mangelson. Shortly after her Installation, Caroline experienced a complicated C-section and a ruptured uterus, yet she continued her affirmations, gratitudes, and even wrote contracts from the hospital. Guided by her mantra of "God and gratitude before the grind," she built work/life harmony by scheduling what matters most first: breastfeeding, family, mindset, then layering her Ninja Nine and client work around those priorities. Caroline treats her 350-person database as extended family, organizing detailed FORD notes and staying in consistent flow through texts, personalized touches, and thoughtfully designed 8-in-8 campaigns. She also leverages housewarming parties, staging expertise, and hyper-personal gifts to make real estate deeply relational, not transactional. Steve adds powerful insight into how her success comes not from tactics alone, but from who she has become: a person whose business is simply an expression of service and love. Key Takeaways Momentum Is Consistency, Not Noise: Caroline's success is built on the belief that "momentum isn't loud, it's consistent," and that small, steady habits compound. Ninja Your Way: She customizes Ninja, leaning on staging skills, math strengths, and an internal scoreboard for her Ninja Nine. Database as Extended Family: Her 350-person "extended family" is tracked with detailed FORD notes and regularly updated insights, not just static contact records. Structured 8-in-8 Follow-Up: After meeting someone (often at a housewarming party), she runs a pre-planned eight-touch sequence of texts, calls, reviews, and face-to-face meetings. Housewarming Parties as Flow Engines: Streamlined, repeatable celebrations for buyers deepen relationships, generate introductions, and create natural reasons to stay in flow. Work–Life Harmony Through Scheduling: "Priorities don't fight for space; they get scheduled," she built her calendar around feeding a newborn, family, mindset, and then business. Service as the Business Model: Caroline's guiding question is: How can I use this to serve more people? The relationship itself is the leverage. Memorable Quotes "Momentum isn't loud. It's consistent." "Discipline doesn't disappear, it adapts." "God and gratitude before the grind." "Priorities don't fight for space; they get scheduled." "Show up, serve up, and keep swimming." "This is not transactional, this is relational." "If you love on people, you will serve them like no other."

IGG testing, also known as Immunoglobulin G testing, is a method used in forensic science to identify individuals through the analysis of specific proteins found in blood. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. Each person's IgG profile is unique, similar to a genetic fingerprint, making it useful for identification purposes.In crime-solving, IGG testing involves collecting blood samples from crime scenes and comparing them to known samples, such as those taken from suspects or victims. The presence or absence of specific IgG antibodies in the samples can help forensic investigators establish links between individuals and crime scenes.Police use IGG testing to:Establish connections between suspects and crime scenes: By comparing the IgG profiles of blood samples found at a crime scene with those of suspects or victims, investigators can determine whether a particular individual was present at the scene.Exclude innocent suspects: If the IgG profile of a suspect does not match that of the blood found at the crime scene, it can help exclude them from the investigation.Identify unknown individuals: In cases where the identity of a suspect or victim is unknown, IGG testing can be used to narrow down potential matches based on blood samples collected from the scene.However, like any forensic technique, IGG testing also raises privacy concerns. Some of these concerns include:Informed consent: Collecting blood samples for IGG testing without the individual's consent may raise ethical questions about privacy and bodily autonomy.Genetic information: IgG profiles can reveal information about an individual's immune system, which is a form of genetic information. There are concerns about how this sensitive data is collected, stored, and used, especially in terms of potential discrimination or misuse.False positives and misinterpretation: While IGG testing can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations, there is always a risk of false positives or misinterpretation of results. This could lead to wrongful accusations or convictions if not carefully considered.Database security: As with any forensic database, there are concerns about the security of the information stored within it.

IGG testing, also known as Immunoglobulin G testing, is a method used in forensic science to identify individuals through the analysis of specific proteins found in blood. Immunoglobulin G (IgG) is a type of antibody produced by the immune system in response to foreign substances, such as bacteria or viruses. Each person's IgG profile is unique, similar to a genetic fingerprint, making it useful for identification purposes.In crime-solving, IGG testing involves collecting blood samples from crime scenes and comparing them to known samples, such as those taken from suspects or victims. The presence or absence of specific IgG antibodies in the samples can help forensic investigators establish links between individuals and crime scenes.Police use IGG testing to:Establish connections between suspects and crime scenes: By comparing the IgG profiles of blood samples found at a crime scene with those of suspects or victims, investigators can determine whether a particular individual was present at the scene.Exclude innocent suspects: If the IgG profile of a suspect does not match that of the blood found at the crime scene, it can help exclude them from the investigation.Identify unknown individuals: In cases where the identity of a suspect or victim is unknown, IGG testing can be used to narrow down potential matches based on blood samples collected from the scene.However, like any forensic technique, IGG testing also raises privacy concerns. Some of these concerns include:Informed consent: Collecting blood samples for IGG testing without the individual's consent may raise ethical questions about privacy and bodily autonomy.Genetic information: IgG profiles can reveal information about an individual's immune system, which is a form of genetic information. There are concerns about how this sensitive data is collected, stored, and used, especially in terms of potential discrimination or misuse.False positives and misinterpretation: While IGG testing can be a valuable tool in forensic investigations, there is always a risk of false positives or misinterpretation of results. This could lead to wrongful accusations or convictions if not carefully considered.Database security: As with any forensic database, there are concerns about the security of the information stored within it. Unauthorized access or breaches could compromise individuals' privacy and potentially lead to misuse of their data.Ever since the arrest of Bryan Kohberger a conviction has rested upon the shoulders of the DNA that was collected at the scene of the brutal quadruple homicide. However, there have been challenges to the process used to collect that DNA and some have even questioned the constitutionality of the process itself.

Travis sits down with actor‑turned‑entrepreneur Ryan Rottman, cofounder of AthleteAgent.com, an IMDb‑style database for the sports world. From training as a business major and actor at Texas Tech to navigating constant rejection in Hollywood, Ryan shares how thick skin, relationships, and a love of sports led him to build the most extensive searchable sports database online, alongside partners like Aaron Rodgers and Nate Robb. On this episode we talk about: How Ryan's early trading and acting work out of college built the financial runway and mindset he needed to pursue creative projects What acting teaches about rejection, resilience, and treating yourself as a business—and how those lessons transfer directly into startups and fundraising The origin story of AthleteAgent.com, modeled after IMDb but built to centralize athlete data, representation info, and off‑field opportunities Why most athletes beyond the top 1% are massively under‑monetized, and how better visibility can unlock endorsements, podcast bookings, investments, and partnerships The realities of building a tech platform from scratch—finding dev teams, talking to 100+ investors, and expanding from 10 sports toward a global, 50+ sport footprint Top 3 Takeaways Acting and entrepreneurship share the same core skill: moving from “no” to “no” without losing enthusiasm, while treating every experience as training for the next opportunity. Athletes are brands, and most are dramatically under‑leveraged off the field; centralized, accurate data and contact info unlocks deals for the other 99%, not just superstars. Long‑term success often comes from repurposing skills and networks—Ryan used his IMDb experience, sports relationships, and business training to spot an obvious gap and fill it with AthleteAgent.com. Notable Quotes "As an actor, you are your own business—rejection is daily, and your job is to keep showing up until the right role hits." "IMDb changed my acting career because people could actually find my reps; I realized nothing like that existed for athletes." "We didn't build AthleteAgent for the top 1%—we built it so the other 99% can finally be found, booked, and paid."
