Rather than just list them all, Mark and Ray dance through this era-focused topic, guitars in hand, for an episode of Game Changers! Starting with a brief history of the Fender Strat, and a brief side road about "the two Jimmys," the "Imbalanced Ones" cram as much '70s axe action into this one as possible! The 1970s didn't arrive fully formed, so the discussion has to include those Sixties players, like Jimi Hendrix, who opened doors and laid the base forSeventies-specific guitarists. No discussion of the decade and guitar is complete without talking about Eddie Van Halen, which bookends this story. Cotton and color gave way to artificial fabric and varied print patterns, the Hippies yielded to Suburbia...it's the 1970's in America! Disco was around the corner...but Rock was King to start the decade, and guitars drove a massive wave of music to an exploding youth culture!

As 2025 draws to a close, we reflect on the key political events that defined South Africa. The Government of National Unity endured amid intense negotiations and disputes over budget and policy differences, following the ANC's historic loss of majority in 2024. President Cyril Ramaphosa hosted the landmark G20 summit in Johannesburg, the first on African soil, though US President Donald Trump boycotted it, citing unfounded claims of white genocide. Explosive revelations from Lieutenant General Nhlanhla Mkhwanazi dominated headlines, leading to the Madlanga Commission probing systemic corruption, political interference and criminal infiltration in law enforcement. The SACP resolved to contest future elections independently of the Tripartite Alliance. Jacob Zuma's MK Party faced internal turmoil with suspensions, expulsions, and allegations of recruiting South Africans for the Russia-Ukraine war. Meanwhile, EFF leader Julius Malema was convicted on firearm charges for discharging a rifle at a 2018 rally. For expert analysis on these stories and their implications for 2026, Elvis Presslin spoke to political analyst Dr. Dale McKinley, an independent writer, researcher, and lecturer

Governor JB Pritzker visits the studio to talk to Lovett about Trump's Indiana redistricting fail, how Illinois is standing up to ICE's immigration raids, and how the governor's upbringing — a childhood of both privilege and tragedy — shaped his career in politics. Plus, Lovett asks the governor to defend his controversial Star Wars film rankings, quizzes him on some blackjack hands, and asks what we're all thinking: Is he running for President?

Today Amy and Alex talk about the issues that dominated NASCIO this year from AI and EA to procurement and accessibility. Plus we share what was on our Spotify Wrapped lists and our musical ages.

In this episode of Banking on Fraudology, Hailey Windham reflects on a transformational year in fraud by unpacking recent, high-stakes cases and zooming out to address the "seismic shift" in the payment ecosystem. The conversation dives into the industry's evolution , highlighting how human intuition, technology, and a unified view of risk are shaping the future of fraud prevention. Key Takeaways: Cases, Controls, and the Future of PaymentsEmpathy and Human Intuition are Essential: The episode shares several cases that underscore the power of the human element.The Mrs. Doubtfire Scam: A bizarre case where a man disguised himself as his deceased 82-year-old mother to collect her pension for three years. The case was cracked by a frontline clerk who noticed the hands looked too young and the voice slipped, proving that intuition is irreplaceable. The Frontline Hero: A Missouri bank teller saved a woman from a jury duty arrest scam by quietly slipping her a note, proving that no AI system can replace human compassion and intuition. The End of Siloed Intelligence (Internal Threat): Insider threats highlight a control problem, not just an employee problem. Cases involving unauthorized withdrawals, debit card ordering, and forged checks by multiple employees at a major US bank point to patterns of inadequate monitoring and excessive permissions. The Tacoma Credit Union case, where a remote employee stole $345,000 weeks after hire, reinforces that remote work requires stronger oversight, and new hires are high-risk periods. Innovation is Working For Us (External Threats): Scams are evolving alongside technology. Scammers are using real bank activity (transaction amounts and timestamps) to build trust and bypass knowledge-based authentication. New tactics include fake CAPTCHAs that install malware to bypass 2FA, log keystrokes, and spy on sessions, leading to rapidly climbing losses. The State of the Fraud Fighter (Payment Rail Shift): The industry must adapt to the speed of instant payments. Scams are the #1 driver of losses across every rail (ACH, Wires, P2P, Zelle, RTP, FedNow); the vulnerability is social engineering, not the rail itself. The number one strategic imperative is to build a unified, real-time view of risk across every payment rail, as regulators now demand real-time resilience and proof that harm could have been prevented. Get in the mood of being grateful for the fraud-fighting community, and be reminded of how strong the fraud-fighting community truly is.

What does it take to build a life that withstands the storms? This exploration of Proverbs 14 takes us deep into the architecture of a godly life, revealing that everything begins with the foundation we lay. Just as a construction crew wouldn't dream of placing a building on unstable ground, we cannot expect our lives to flourish without first establishing ourselves on four critical foundations: reverence, wisdom, stability, and character. The opening verse presents us with the image of a wise woman building her house—a powerful metaphor for how we construct our entire existence. When we fear the Lord with deep respect and reverence, we're not cowering in terror but standing in awe of His majesty, much like children who have a healthy respect for loving parents. This fear becomes the bedrock upon which everything else is built. The message challenges us to move beyond impulsive living toward discernment, to establish consistent rhythms in our spiritual lives rather than chasing perfection, and to recognize that our character—how we treat the McDonald's employee during a frustrating wait or how we speak to our neighbor—matters eternally. The truth is, more is caught than taught. Our lives become living testimonies, and when we root ourselves deeply in God's Word, we create a foundation that cannot be shaken, even when the winds blow and the floods come.**Sermon Notes: Building a Foundation (Proverbs 14)****Detailed Notes:**1. **Introduction to Proverbs 14:**  - The speaker notes a shift in Proverbs' structure and approach to this chapter.  - A thematic exploration of Proverbs 14, focusing on building a foundation.2. **Four Foundations:**  - **Reverence:**    - Defined as a deep respect/fear of the Lord.   - Wisdom and reverence set as crucial for a strong spiritual foundation.   - Proverbs 14:1-2 discusses the wise woman building her house with reverence.   - Verses 26-27 highlight the benefits of revering God (confidence and refuge).  - **Wisdom:**   - Emphasizes discernment over impulses.   - Wisdom involves prudent decision-making (Proverbs 14:8, 15).   - A caution against following worldly wisdom rather than God's wisdom.  - **Stability:**   - Importance of a stable foundation likened to Matthew 7's parable of building on a rock.   - Proverbs 14:11 contrasts the house of the wicked with the tent of the upright.   - Encourage development of healthy rhythms and consistency in spiritual practices.  - **Character:**   - Focus on speech, compassion, and peacefulness (Proverbs 14:3, 21, 30).   - Character impacts how we treat others and respond to life situations.3. **Summary of Proverbs 14:**  - A reader's perspective after detailed examination: listen through the lens of building a strong foundation.  - Establishing life on God's word forms a foundation that influences personal life and those around you.**Practical Applications:**1. **Reverence:**  - Cultivate a daily practice of reflecting on God's greatness to foster a respectful fear and deepen your spiritual foundation.2. **Wisdom:**  - Practice discerning choices by consulting scripture and seeking godly counsel before making significant decisions.3. **Stability:**  - Establish consistent spiritual habits, such as daily devotionals or attending church, to create a stable foundation.4. **Character:**  - Be intentional about speaking truthfully and acting compassionately, reflecting Christ-like behavior in your daily interactions.**Discussion Questions:**1. **Reflection on Reverence:**  - How do you currently demonstrate a fear of the Lord in your daily life? In what areas can this be deepened?2. **Gaining Wisdom:**  - Can you share an instance where discernment triumphed over impulse in your life? What was the outcome?3. **Building Stability:**  - What are some spiritual rhythms you have established or plan to establish to ensure stability in your faith?4. **Character Development:**  - In what ways can you improve how you represent your character at work, home, or community, ensuring it aligns with your faith?This structured approach (detailed notes, practical applications, and discussion questions) keeps the message focused while encouraging reflection and action.

Fred Collier is one of the patriarchs of Ross LeBaron’s Church of the Firstborn. Fred tried to take over after Ross’s death and even converted Tom Green, an apostle in a rival group, “The Branch.” We’ll discuss more about how Fred’s group descends from Ross LeBaron. Check out our conversation… https://youtu.be/nTOU2ZYkNco Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission While the core authority of the Utah-based Church of the Firstborn traced back through Ross Wesley LeBaron's unique patriarchal lineage derived from Benjamin F. Johnson, the movement’s doctrines and missionary success were significantly shaped by one influential follower: Fred Collier. Collier, who converted to fundamentalism in 1970, was described not as a professional historian but as a “self-trained historian” who dedicated his efforts to researching early Mormon history, ultimately providing the historical bedrock for Ross LeBaron’s claims. The Partnership: History, Mysteries, and the Patriarchal Order Collier joined a core group of “historian followers” drawn to Ross LeBaron because they felt there was something “solid to his claims.” Ross's ministry focused less on concentrating authority (like other fundamentalist groups) and more on disseminating a “patriarchal order of priesthood.” Ross liked to “delve into the mysteries.” This included embracing doctrines like plural marriage and the Adam-God doctrine. Collier expanded on these ideas, even writing a lengthy paper, The Adam God Doctrine in the Bible, attempting to find support for the concept in both the Old and New Testaments. Collier used his historical skills not just for study but for effective missionary work. He was instrumental in helping the Church of the Firstborn articulate its beliefs and authority, serving as a contrast to Ross’s own unorthodox methods: Eccentric Ministry: Ross spent over 20 years on radio shows like KSXX, where he would “clown around” or be controversial and “silly” to attract attention before sharing his message, mirroring unusual methods sometimes used by Old Testament prophets. Historical Converts: Ross’s eccentric style generally did not attract serious religious followers. Collier, however, converted “quite a number of people” by gathering copious historical research and sharing it. Collier also gained notoriety in historical circles for publishing works like Unpublished Revelations, which was valued because it stuck strictly to historical facts without conflating them with fundamentalist folklore or bias. Restoration of the Law of Adoption One of Collier's most significant historical discoveries that shaped the Church of the Firstborn was the concept of the Law of Adoption. Collier found the principle, common during the early Nauvoo/Utah pioneer periods (where men and families would be “sealed to men” in father-son relationships to establish a celestial family structure on Earth), through the published diaries of John D. Lee. When Collier presented this to Ross, Ross embraced it fully. Thereafter, the Law of Adoption became a core aspect of the Church of the Firstborn's structure, requiring anyone receiving patriarchal priesthood to enter into adoption covenants. The LeBaron-ites were likely the first fundamentalists to practice adoption since Wilford Woodruff officially discontinued it in the LDS Church in 1894. Schism Over Celestial Love The partnership between Ross (the innovative prophet) and Collier (the systematizing historian/writer) eventually fractured over a crucial doctrinal difference in 1983. Collier had received a vision which convinced him that the essential principle distinguishing a celestial person was “celestial love”—a selfless love for others and a “total commitment” characterized by losing oneself in service. Collier believed that the lower terrestrial kingdom was populated by people who were honorable but were motivated by seeking their “own reward and aggrandizement.” Collier wanted Ross to adopt this principle of selfless love, believing that the movement under Ross felt too loose and individualistic. However, Ross disagreed vehemently, holding the perspective that competition was a big driving force of the universe. In the ensuing debate, Ross allegedly stated that Christ died for his “own glory” for his own exaltation, which Collier felt was blasphemy against the Atonement. Less than a month later, Ross changed his priesthood teachings entirely, leading Collier to conclude that Ross had fallen into doctrinal apostasy. Fred Collier’s Enduring Legacy Collier separated from Ross, going on to lead his own group (which peaked at several hundred followers in 1992.) Although Ross had never formally appointed a successor, he acknowledged that Collier was the most likely candidate, having “done more to build up our system and the work than anyone else.” Collier continued his work as a prolific author, writing numerous pamphlets and books. His historical research, focusing on early temple doctrine, priesthood, and the Adam-God doctrine, has since “permeated fundamentalism,” with followers of different groups utilizing his historical scholarship.

11-30-25 Elder Mills takes us on a journey of Maslow's Pyramid and breaks down how the world attempts to box in our identity, but also how we can break out of that box by knowing how we operate in the world while not being of the world through the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. 

Crime Defined is a series where we break down the law, one crime at a time. Each episode, we start by explaining exactly what a specific crime is — what makes it illegal, how it's defined under the law, and the consequences for those who commit it. Then, we dive into a real-life case, exploring someone who actually committed that crime, the investigation, and the impact of their actions. Our goal is to make the law understandable and the true crime unforgettable.In this episode, we break down the crime of bribery, what it means, how it's prosecuted, and why it remains one of the most persistent forms of corruption. Then, we connect the law to the real world by examining Operation Varsity Blues, the massive college admissions scandal that exposed a network of wealthy parents, coaches, and consultants using bribes to secure admission for their children.We explore how the scheme worked, who was involved, the legal fallout, and what the case reveals about privilege, access, and accountability in the U.S. education system.If you're interested in how bribery shows up beyond the headlines, this episode offers a clear, accessible look at both the law and one of its most talked-about cases.Follow us on all social media!Facebook - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/bucketmurd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/TheMurderBucket⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/murdbucket/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok -⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@murderbucketpod⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://murderbucketpod.wordpress.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Brian Skrobonja sits down with Phon Vilayoune to unpack buffered ETFs and income notes. Phon is the Founder and CEO of VETA Investment Partners, where they currently oversee over $5.5 billion in assets. They discuss the benefits of positioning your portfolio for growth and safety, how to protect your nest egg in volatile markets, and practical strategies for optimizing gains while limiting downside risk. Tune in to hear professional insights on ETFs, income notes, and actionable frameworks for navigating today's complex market cycles. Phon explains how he entered the investing world and now helps oversee roughly $5.5B in assets. Phon highlights what trading during the 2008–09 crisis taught him about being positioned like Warren Buffett or Middle Eastern banks. In deep volatility, cash plus cash flow gives you the power to buy when everything is on sale.  Why you want a Buffett-style portfolio in a downturn: Buffett held strong during bear markets and bought when others panicked.  How to win more by losing less. Phon says risk management is the key. You never want to be a forced seller during a correction because you take a double hit: loss plus selling at the bottom. Phon and Brian break down buffered ETFs and how they're tied to S&P 500 options designed to provide a more predictable range of outcomes over 12 months. Think of it like investing with guardrails — you're participating but with intentional limits on downside. Learn what income notes are: Phon says it's basically converting equity exposure into monthly income. For example, instead of holding stocks outright, you buy a structured note designed to pay you steady monthly income while still giving some market participation. It's like blending investing and cash flow without fully being in the stock market. Phon on the future earnings potential of ETFs. He believes growth will continue, especially as aging demographics seek income and protection. BlackRock projects more than $600B in defined-outcome/Buffered ETFs in the coming years. Brian highlights that markets don't move straight up forever. We all intellectually understand cycles, but emotionally, we forget. That's why having a plan for downturns is essential. Phon shares a real-life ETF scenario and how, in 2002, a near-retirement couple protected their nest egg during intense volatility using defined outcome tools. They preserved their lifestyle when others were taking major hits. How to balance your portfolio for growth and safety. For Phon, the best thing you can do is to talk to a real human advisor. There's too much DIY noise; professional guidance helps you tune the right mix for your unique situation. Phon on what to ask your advisor: Ask how your portfolio would perform in a COVID-style year or another global-financial-crisis scenario. Then ask how it generates income and supports your goals. His favorite question: "Have you actually guided clients through a deep bear market?" Why working with a professional matters: Many strategies look great and work during bull markets. But the real test is whether they protect you when things are down. Phon explains that good portfolio design is about being structurally prepared before volatility hits. You want a position that holds through downturns—and ideally lets you buy when opportunities appear. Phon's parting advice to the audience: Go outside, walk your dog, and take real time away with family. Getting off screens and into nature helps you stay grounded. Investing is long-term—your life should be too.     Mentioned in this episode: VetaInvestmentPartners.com BlackRock.com/us/financial-professionals/insights/outcome-etfs BrianSkrobonja.com SkrobonjaFinancial.com SkrobonjaWealth.com BUILDbanking.com Common Sense Financial Podcast on YouTube  Common Sense Financial Podcast on Spotify     Alternative investments may be subject to less regulation than other types of pooled investment vehicles.

Hey, humans! This episode is where we start a three-part journey that I truly believe will permanently alter your outlook, because that's what happens when you discover your "why". We all know the what and the how, but when you get clear on the purpose and the belief behind your work, everything gets easier. I'm opening up and sharing the crisis moments in my own life from sitting in Jocelyn's hospital room and my daughter's journey afterwards - that stripped away everything but what truly mattered, making my own why clearer than ever. This week, I'm giving you an assignment to start excavating your own origin story and patterns. Grab a piece of paper and block out 30 minutes to look for the themes that keep appearing in your life and work! We'll walk through the framework of Simon Sinek's Golden Circle and use the powerful format: "To blank, so that blank.". Do the work this week, because understanding your human experience is the first step to enhancing the HX of everyone around you. Bring your first draft, because next week, we're diving into Part 2: How your why transforms your approach to leading! Enjoy, Stacie More episodes at StacieBaird.com.

2/4. Naming OSIRIS-REx and Overcoming Major Hurdles — Dante Lauretta — Following successive rejections, Lauretta systematically defined the mission's core scientific objectives—Origins, Spectral Interpretation, Resource Identification, Security—establishing the OSIRIS framework and subsequently designating the mission OSIRIS-REx(Regolith Explorer). The mission received formal selection in 2011, and Mike Drake, serving as Lauretta's mentor while managing significant personal health challenges, designated Lauretta as "risk mitigation" leader.

So, I pray my offering will help you go back into your part of rivalrous world after the Thanksgiving weekend with joy and peace (Isaiah 55:12 ). And I pray it will jump start an Advent season filled with more of the same. Look for Part 2 Wednesday morning.

1950s were a tumultuous time for Mormon polygamists. Not only did police jail many for polygamy, but there were Mormon Fundamentalist Schisms. Many groups including Joseph Musser and the LeBaron families split apart. Jacob Vidrine of the Church of the Firstborn gives more details. Check out our conversation… https://youtu.be/1hdRUUQ8Gv0 Don't miss our other conversations with Jacob: https://gospeltangents.com/people/jacob-vidrine Copyright © 2025 Gospel Tangents All Rights Reserved Except for book reviews, no content may be reproduced without written permission Dramatic 1955 Schism that Defined the LeBaron Legacy The history of Mormon fundamentalism is filled with contested authority claims, but few are as immediate and dramatic as the split that occurred between Ross and Joel LeBaron in the mid-1950s. This schism not only severed the nascent Church of the Firstborn into two distinct movements but also cemented radically different interpretations of priesthood authority that traced back to Nauvoo. From Mexico to Utah: Quest for the Kingdom Following the death of their father, Alma Dayer LeBaron (Dayer), who had claimed a unique authority line through Benjamin F. Johnson, the family faced a succession crisis. Joel LeBaron and his brothers (including Verlin and Floren) were primarily based in Mexico and had initially affiliated themselves with the Allred Group (AUB), which was the Salt Lake-based faction of the larger Woolley fundamentalist movement after the 1950s split. In 1955, Joel and his brothers traveled to Utah specifically to request funding from the Allred Council to establish a United Order in Mexico. While staying in Utah, they interacted with their brother, Ross Wesley LeBaron, the second oldest son, who had been ministering separately in the Utah area. Ross's Vision: The Higher Church Ross had received a commission from his father in 1950 to carry on the “patriarchal work”. His theology provided a unique perspective in the fundamentalist landscape, teaching that the Church of the Firstborn was not merely a holding pattern for the “out-of-order” LDS Church, but rather a “higher church above the Church of Jesus Christ”. Ross argued that the goal was not to “fall back into the church” but to “advance into the church of the firstborn,” emphasizing the higher principles of the patriarchal order restored by Moses, Elias, and Elijah in the Kirtland Temple. Ross converted his visiting brothers, Joel and Floren, “back to believing in their father’s authority line” and the patriarchal priesthood. Excited, the brothers decided to formally organize a new church5. The September Organization and Contested Authority On September 21, 1955, Ross, Joel, and Floren gathered for an organizational meeting that established the Church of the Firstborn of the Fullness of Times. The minutes of this meeting articulated the specific authority lineage claimed by the family: Joseph Smith passed patriarchal keys to Benjamin F. Johnson, who passed them to Alma LeBaron (Dayer), who conferred them on his sons. In this initial organization: Ross Wesley LeBaron was sustained as the head patriarch, holding the keys and calling received from their father. Ross emphasized that “the honor is in the work, not the title,” focusing on the substance of the calling rather than merely claiming specific offices. Joel LeBaron was ordained to the office of president of the Church of the Firstborn of the Fullness of Times. Floren LeBaron was set apart as a counselor. Ross claimed he ordained both Joel and Floren as patriarchs1012. However, this unity was fleeting. Joel's Claim to the One Mighty and Strong Within approximately a week of the organization, Joel decided to split from Ross. Joel sought a higher, incontrovertible claim to authority to override Ross’s position as the patriarch holding the keys. Joel traveled up Farmington Canyon and claimed to receive a revelation or a theophany. He claimed that “no fewer than… 17 or 18 different past prophets” appeared to him on the mountain. Crucially, these messengers allegedly appointed Joel as “the one mighty and strong”. This claim directly targeted Ross’s earlier teachings; Ross had claimed the birthright of Joseph Smith and described his own work as merely “preparatory work until the one mighty and strong came”. By claiming this specific title, Joel effectively trumped Ross’s foundational claim and secured his own undisputed position as the highest authority. The dramatic revelation led to a swift separation, with Ross remaining in Utah and Joel returning to Mexico, where he would successfully grow his branch of the Church of the Firstborn of the Fullness of Times to several thousand members, emphasizing a restoration of the Church of Jesus Christ structure (complete with a Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and a High Council), rather than Ross’s focus on the higher patriarchal order. ——————————————————————————– In essence, the split between Ross and Joel LeBaron illustrates a fundamental tension in fundamentalist authority: the conflict between inheriting authority (Ross, the Birthright, the Patriarchal Keys) versus receiving new, definitive revelation (Joel, the Theophany, the One Mighty and Strong).

John Adams' single term as President has long been cast as a low point in his political career, but Lindsay Chervinsky sees it differently. "George Washington created the Presidency," she writes in her new book Making the Presidency, "but John Adams defined it."   In this episode, Lindsay joins us to share why she sees Adams as a crucial figure in transforming an office that had been established for, and created by, George Washington, into a position with the customs and practices that could be passed down through generations. Along the way, Lindsay explains why she thinks we've gotten Adams so wrong (hint: both Jefferson and Hamilton disliked his politics), the crucial role he played in establishing a peaceful transition of power, and how the January 6th insurrection might help us all have a greater appreciation for President John Adams.   Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky is the Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library and author of the new book Making the Presidency: John Adams and the Precedents That Forged the Republic, which is out September 5th, 2024 from Oxford University Press.

By Adam Turteltaub The rise of generative AI has brought transformative potential to healthcare—from streamlining administrative tasks to supporting clinical decision-making. But alongside these benefits comes a growing concern: Shadow AI. Alex Tyrrell, Chief Technology Officer, Health at Wolters Kluwer explains in this podcast that this term refers to the use of unauthorized, unmonitored AI tools within organizations. In healthcare, where data privacy and patient safety are paramount, Shadow AI presents a unique and urgent challenge both now and in the future. Healthcare professionals often turn to generative AI tools with good intentions—hoping to reduce documentation burdens, improve workflows, or gain insights from complex data. However, many of these tools are unproven large language models (LLMs) that operate as black boxes. They're prone to hallucinations, lack transparency in decision-making, and may inadvertently expose Protected Health Information (PHI) to the open internet. This isn't just a theoretical risk. The use of public AI tools on personal devices or in clinical settings can lead to serious consequences, including: Privacy violations Legal and regulatory non-compliance Patient harm due to inaccurate or misleading outputs Despite these risks, many healthcare organizations lack visibility into how and when these tools are being used. According to recent data, only 18% of organizations have a formal policy governing the use of generative AI in the workplace, and just 20% require formal training for employees using these tools. It's important to recognize that most employees aren't using Shadow AI to be reckless—they're trying to solve real problems. The lack of clear guidance, approved tools, and education creates a vacuum that Shadow AI fills. Without a structured approach, organizations end up playing a game of whack-a-mole, reacting to issues rather than proactively managing them. So, what can healthcare organizations do to address Shadow AI without stifling innovation? Audit and Monitor Usage Start with what you can control. For organization-issued devices, conduct periodic audits to identify unauthorized AI usage. While personal devices are harder to monitor, you can still gather feedback from employees about where they see value in generative AI. This helps surface use cases that can be addressed through approved tools and structured programs. Procure Trusted AI Tools Use procurement processes to source AI tools from vetted vendors. Look for solutions with: Transparent decision-making processes Clear documentation of training data sources No use of patient data or other confidential information for model training Avoid tools that lack explainability or accountability—especially those that cannot guarantee data privacy. Establish Structured Governance Governance isn't just about rules—it's about clarity and oversight. Develop a well-articulated framework that includes: Defined roles and responsibilities for AI oversight Risk assessment protocols Integration with existing compliance and IT governance structures Make sure AI governance is not siloed. Those managing AI tools should be at the table during strategic planning and implementation. Educate and Engage Education is the cornerstone of responsible AI use. Employees need to understand not just the risks, but also the right way to use AI tools. Offer formal training, create open forums for discussion, and build a culture of transparency. When people feel informed and supported, they're more likely to choose safe, approved tools. Protect PHI with Precision In clinical workflows, PHI is often unavoidable. That's why it's critical to: Deidentify patient data whenever possible Ensure only authorized systems, processes, and personnel have access to PHI Maintain up-to-date business associate agreements and data processing contracts

Today, Dr. Stephanie Holmes talks with Occupational Therapist, Kelly Mahler. The topic is interoception! Every neurotype can struggle with it, but we find neurodivergent folks can have a few more challenges with interoception.Defined by Kelly's website: Many people notice these feelings in their body with the help of an important sense… a sense called… interoception.Don't let the name fool you. The word interoception might not sound very sexy or important. But this sense is a really big deal. Interoception has a huge influence on many areas of our lives, like self-regulation, mental health, and social connection. About our Guest:Kelly Mahler, OTD, OTR/L, earned a Doctorate in Occupational Therapy from Misericordia University, Dallas, PA.

“The importance of the teaching of the faith within believing families is an Old Testament tradition (Deut 4:9–10; 6:4–9, etc.) that needs to be reemphasized in every generation of the Christian church. We, too, are a people of memory and hope, for it is memory that generates hope. When Israel ‘forgot'—as the prophets accused them—they went astray. When Christians ‘forget,' the same thing happens. We simply lose the plot. We forget who we are, to whom we belong, and what story we are supposed to be in.”—Christopher Wright, The Story of God Bible Commentary: Exodus Exodus 12:29-42

          The "Genial and Aloof" Communicator: Reagan's Psychological Defense and Exquisite Political Timing. Max Boot discusses the late Reagan administration, his personality, and his legacy. Reagan was famously defined as "genial and aloof," and Boot argues that Reagan was "very hard to know," even by his wife Nancy and his closest aides, who felt part of him was "walled off." This aloofness originated in his childhood, where constant moving and hiding his father's alcoholism led him to erect a "mental wall." Reagan was comfortable with the title of "Great Communicator," recognizing the political power of his background by stating, "Some people say they can't understand how an actor can be president. I don't understand how anybody but an actor could be president." His most famous sayings include "Honey, I forgot to duck," "ash heap of history," and "There you go again." Regarding his legacy, Boot notes that the economic recovery was largely "salesmanship," with growth rates during the Reagan presidency similar to the Nixon administration, though Reagan's political timing was "exquisite." Boot credits Reagan as a "very lucky politician" who also "made his own luck," with much of the economic recovery due to Federal Reserve Chairman Paul Volcker. An anecdote illustrating Reagan's modesty notes that when he first sat behind the Resolute desk, he was too tall to fit his knees underneath but did not complain, reflecting his unassuming and undemanding nature.
