The conversation highlights the importance of studying and understanding Scripture and encourages listeners to immerse themselves in the book of Philippians. Keywords Sacred Echo podcast, missing episode, Mother's Day, sermon series, book of Philippians, positivity, attention economy, content creation, suffering, privilege, Philippians, Paul, familiarity, soul sleep, interpretations, gospel, motivations, discernment, Scripture Takeaways The hosts apologize for a missing podcast episode and share funny anecdotes about their busy schedules. They discuss their Mother's Day celebrations and the importance of celebrating moms. The hosts introduce their new sermon series titled 'Everything is Possible' and highlight the significance of the book of Philippians in providing positivity and encouragement. They talk about the attention economy and how Crosswalk Church is engaging with it through their content creation. The hosts briefly touch on the themes of suffering and privilege in the book of Philippians. Paul's letter to the Philippians is written in a more familiar and personal tone, reflecting his close relationship with the recipients. The concept of soul sleep and what happens after death is a topic of debate among different faith communities. Preaching the gospel with the wrong motivations can be problematic, but Paul encourages focusing on the message of Jesus rather than criticizing others. Discernment is important in evaluating biblical teachings and distinguishing between true Scripture and extra-biblical interpretations. Studying and understanding Scripture is crucial for developing a solid foundation of faith. Titles Apologies and Funny Anecdotes Celebrating Moms on Mother's Day Studying and Understanding Scripture Debating Soul Sleep and the Afterlife Sound Bites "I want to apologize for something before we get started. What I'm going to apologize for is we actually did a podcast on Axe 5 finishing out our experience series and it's all edited and ready to go and somebody didn't post it and I don't know who that is." "Good man, we're recording this just after Mother's Day weekend, so always good to celebrate our moms." "I think we're moving into an attention economy, right, where we've monetized people's attention. And that's actually changing the way that we're experiencing things." "He's not introducing himself, trying to gain that authority." "Paul struggles a little bit with... whether or not he wants to be around in some respects." "Paul seems a little less burdened to go fix the other guy."

In this episode of the Future of Application Security, Harshil speaks with Dave Ferguson, Director of Technical Product Management, Software Supply Chain Security at ReversingLabs, which offers software supply chain security analysis platform. They discuss the rising need for software supply chain security as a result of the complexities around how software is built today. They also talk about ways to identify novel attacks through analyzing software behaviors, how efforts like SBOMs and registries help increase transparency, and why software supply chain security needs to evolve from just looking for vulnerabilities. Topics discussed: How Dave's diverse background in security, as well as his piqued interest around the SolarWinds and 3CX attacks, led to his focus on software supply chain security today. How a product manager leads by working with development teams, meeting with customers, incorporating new features and integrations, and helping bring new solutions to market. How the complexities associated with building software today — like open source and automation — have increased the possibility of adversaries slipping in.  Why analyzing software behavior across previous builds and seeing what's changed can help flag novel attacks. Today's trends that are increasing transparency in software creation, including the rising demand for SBOMs and the possibility of trust registries for commercial software. Why software supply chain security approaches need to move beyond just looking at vulnerabilities to find ways to root out all malicious activity. DOWNLOAD: Today, most application security tools are designed to find vulnerabilities, not fix them. What is noise and what is risk? And, more importantly, how do you accelerate the remediation of the most critical vulnerabilities? The answer lies within one key metric — Mean Time to Remediate (MTTR) Taking a better strategy to decrease your MTTR and keep your organization safe can begin today — download the paper to learn how.

Writer Dave Ferguson (The Birthday Boys, I Love You America) braves our October excursion into cinematic scare fare with a discussion of David Cronenberg's 1986 classic THE FLY starring Jeff Goldblum and Geena Davis. The Canadian auteur injects his unmistakable brand of body horror into this sci-fi fable of scientist Seth Brundle (Goldblum) whose experiments with matter transport go awry when he mistakenly teleports himself along with a single house fly. THE FLY was a well-reviewed box office hit upon release, solidifying Goldblum and Davis as a brainy (and very tall) screen couple for the '80s and unleashing Cronenberg as a sicko master for the masses. Join us as we merge with THE FLY, taking a few diversions into Vidiots, The Garbage Pail Kids Movie, Mel Brooks, bug digestion, Little Monsters, stress dreams, kid Halloween costumes, Axe Body Spray, the Grinch and much, much more! THE FLY is currently available to stream with subscription to Max.

For so many Christians, the discipleship process isn't very clear.They know they need to go to church, pray, not sin, and maybe attend a small group. While these are great things, they don't outline a clear path leading people to live more like Jesus. We'd love to introduce you to the 40-Day Red Letter Challenge.When you and your church take the challenge, you'll have a clear 40-day discipleship path that will help you master five key areas of discipleship.You can learn more about the challenge here!A Hurrdat Media Production.

"What would you do in your church if they told you they wouldn't pay you? I think it would make you think differently about your call, your programs, your strategy, and your tactics."

When you think about self-driving cars, you might imagine relaxing in the back seat while a vehicle carries you to your destination. But according to Dave Ferguson, nearly half of all car tips that Americans take don't actually need any passengers at all. That's because we spend a lot of our time driving around just to pick things up, like groceries and takeout.This week on How I Built This Lab, Dave talks with Guy about his vision of a future where many of these everyday errands could be done by robots. Dave's company, Nuro, builds autonomous vehicles that are meant to deliver goods rather than carry passengers. Already they've run pilot deliveries with big-name partners like Domino's Pizza, Uber Eats, and Kroger Grocery stores, and in the next few years, they aim to expand their service to cities all across the country.

Resources mentioned in the episode: Dave Ferguson websiteCommunity Christian ChurchNew ThingExponential ConferencePete Craig Alpha Craig courseBless Book by Dave FergusonKey insights from the episode: Exponential Conference's mission is to get 16% of the churches in North America to be level 4 (a planted church) or level 5 (reproducing churches.Current Landscape of American churches:35% declining35% plateau30% growingThe five different levels of church growth: 1) a church in decline, 2) a plateau 3) growing 4) reproducing church planting 5) multiplying: church multiplying itself. Usually, people only think of the first three levels of growth, but the goal ought to be level 4 and level 5. - Dave FergusonIn order to get to level 4 or 5, you have to reproduce micro before macro. Make disciples inside the church before you can recruit disciples outside of the church. - Dave FergusonOverseas churches are rapidly reproducing disciples. Part of the reason we don't see that same growth in the United States is that we can't figure out how to multiply disciples. - Dave FergusonIndia and Africa are growing the fastest because they are planting the gospel and making disciples, not worrying about the logistics of the church. There it is less about the production and more about the relationship. - Dave FergusonWhen Dave gets it right, the practice he does to stay focused is his RPMs through Journaling: Read, Prayer, and Meditation.Prayer doesn't always need to start with talking, but with silence and meditation. Create space for the Holy Spirit to move. - Dave FergusonThe 5 steps on how to love your neighbor (BLESS)- Begin with Prayer- Listen- Eat- Serve- StoryDave's Challenge of the Week: Have an “I See In You (ICNU)” conversation with someone.

Can We Really Be Digital Missionaries? This is the heart of the conversation with Dave Ferguson today. Dave, and his brother Jon, recently released a book B.L.E.S.S. which details how people can be a missionary in physical space… “Begin with Prayer, Listen, Eat a Meal Together, Serve, Share Jesus”… Recently the question was asked: Can we do the BLESS practices digitally? Can BLESS become the framework for a Digital Missionary. So, we invited in a bunch of digital pastors and digital planters and asked them the question: As you're looking at BLESS, how would we do this digitally? Some things make perfect sense on how this could apply as a digital missionary. Other parts, well, needed adapting. How do we adapt it? I think we made solid headway… Dave Ferguson's BLESS is All About Intimate Relationships that Point to Jesus. How Do We Do that Digitally? The biggest issue we found? How do you eat together digitally? in the metaverse? What do we do there? Dave's solution is fascinating. So, let's jump into the conversation with Dave Ferguson as well as Pastors and Planters from Digital Church Network, as we join the conversation centered around creating a Digital Missionary Culture.

Could Everyone in Your Church Become a Digital Missionary? What if your Physical-, Digital-, or Metaverse- Church used Digital as the training ground to release Digital Missionaries? What if we utilized the strength of digital to train, activate and release people to reach their circle of influence physically, digitally, or even in the Metaverse? Maybe, just maybe, digital can provide the spiritual purpose that many churches are missing beyond the content-driven Sunday mornings, and help us move from a knowledge-based Discipleship format to an obedience-based Discipleship framework. As aggressive as everyone in your church becoming a digital missionary is, maybe we're not that far off. Enter Jon Ferguson into the conversation. Jon, and his brother Dave Ferguson, developed a framework called BLESS to help empower and activate people in physical space. What if that framework works digitally? Jon Ferguson & Jeff Reed Talk BLESS, Figuring Out How to Apply The Framework to Digital- and Metaverse- Spaces. So let's learn more about Dave & Jon's BLESS Practices. Let's hypothesize more about how to make BLESS the foundational piece of Digital Missionaries, and maybe (just maybe) we'll help some churches find some opportunities along the way.

What would it look like to better everyday life through robotics? That's the question Dave Ferguson and Jiajun Zhu set out to answer in 2016. After working as the machine learning and computer vision lead at Waymo, Dave co-founded Nuro to focus on autonomous vehicles that deliver goods (not people). The company's focused approach—on transporting everything from produce to prescriptions—aims to cut down on the 100 billion vehicle trips we take to run errands each year. Nuro's vehicles have been piloted across Texas, Arizona, and California, and the company is valued at over $8B. Dave shares what it means to design a passenger-less vehicle, how Nuro supports a more sustainable relationship to consumption, and why he aims to make Nuro a company where employees do the best work of their careers.
