Questions about how we know that God is one being instead of three distinct divine beings in perfect unity, and why God would give notable miracles to Oneness Pentecostals if their theology is truly heretical.   I see real distinctions between the persons of the Trinity—Father, Son, and Spirit interacting, speaking, and acting in different roles—but what specifically makes God one being instead of three distinct divine beings in perfect unity? Why would God give such notable miracles to Oneness Pentecostals if their theology is heretical? I can't help but wonder if they're seeing this kind of power because they know who Jesus really is.

Do "good" chords exist? What about "bad" chords? If they did, how we would we know? In this pod, I consider the case of the Tsimane', an Indigenous people living in the Bolivian Amazon, who have a surprising lesson to teach Western music.For 30% off your first year with DistroKid to share your music with the world click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DistroKid.com/vip/lovemusicmore⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

*This episode was originally released on Jan. 30, 2026*In this episode of the Pastoral Thoughts Podcast, Pastor Jack sits down with Rob Gassman for a thoughtful and Scripture-centered conversation on the relationship between Israel and the Church.Together, we explore the miracle of the Jewish people, the biblical covenants God made with Israel, and why Scripture presents Israel and the Church as distinct yet divinely connected parts of God's redemptive plan. We also address common misunderstandings surrounding replacement theology and consider the prophetic future of Israel as revealed in the Word of God.This episode is designed to help believers think biblically, carefully, and reverently about God's faithfulness to His promises—and how that faithfulness strengthens our confidence in Him today.

Original Air Date: 9/5/26 Episode Number: 475Episode SummaryDan kicks off the Labor Day weekend with color capping — the emerging trend of using multiple shades from one color family as you move up the walls to the ceiling — and five things to think through before you try it. Then he launches a new multi-week series on refinishing and flipping secondhand furniture, starting with the skill that comes before any of the sanding or stripping: how to walk through a thrift store, antique shop, or flea market and tell whether a piece is actually worth bringing home. Six things to check before you buy, a hard look at what paint might be hiding, and how to figure out whether the piece you just found is worth more than you paid for it.Timestamps[00:00] -- Labor Day Welcome [00:56] -- Color Capping Trend [02:07] -- Five Color Capping Tips [06:08] -- Tools and Deals [07:55] -- Furniture Refinishing Series [11:07] -- Thrift Store Worth It [13:11] -- Check the Bones [18:33] -- Break and Tease Next [20:33] -- Spot Solid Wood [21:59] -- Veneer Red Flags [22:50] -- Painted Piece Reality [26:42] -- Hardware Swap Magic [28:10] -- Pick Beginner Projects [31:53] -- Sniff Test Check [33:13] -- Is It Valuable [34:08] -- Research Maker Marks [35:03] -- Reverse Image Search [37:38] -- Restore or Paint [38:51] -- Wrap Up and SaleColor Capping [00:56]Color capping is a way of using multiple shades from the same color family in one room, typically getting deeper and richer as you move upward and onto the ceiling. Picture a soft dusty blue on the walls, a deeper blue on the crown molding, and a rich navy overhead. It doesn't have to run light to dark — you can reverse it — and it doesn't have to be three colors. Two works. More works. Benjamin Moore has been talking about it and it's showing up steadily on design blogs and decorating sites.Five things to keep in mind before you try it:Undertones matter. Three greens are not automatically three compatible greens. One may lean yellow, another blue, another grayed-down and earthy. The easiest fix is to start with a single color card and pull your graduating tones from it. If you're pulling from separate cards, hold them together and compare undertones directly.Distinct, but not disjointed. The shades need enough separation to read as intentional without looking like they don't belong in the same room. On a card with graduating tones, two or three shades apart is a good starting point. However you land on your colors, sample them. Benjamin Moore color samples let you get real paint on the wall, the ceiling, the trim, or a foam board and see the colors at scale, next to each other, in morning light and evening light.Let the architecture pick your transition points. Crown molding makes this easy — walls in one color, crown in the next, ceiling in the deepest. Picture rails, beams, and tray ceilings all work the same way. Anything that naturally divides one surface from another gives you a logical place to shift. Without those elements you can still do it, but you have to create the break yourself; roughly two-thirds up the wall is a reasonable rule of thumb.Think hard about the ceiling color. A deep navy, charcoal, or dark green overhead can be gorgeous in a dining room with ten-foot ceilings — rich and intimate. That same ceiling in a small room with eight-foot ceilings and one north-facing window can read as smaller, darker, and more closed-in. That may be exactly what you want, but make it a deliberate choice rather than a photo you saw online. Look at room size, ceiling height, and natural light, and sample before you commit.Don't be intimidated. It looks sophisticated, but mechanically nothing new is happening. You're painting walls, trim, and a ceiling — just in different colors. The hard part is color selection, and there are color experts at every RepcoLite location who can help.Ceiling paint note. If you're putting any color on a ceiling, Benjamin Moore Waterborne Ceiling Paint is the product to use. It's a dead flat and it stays dead flat when it's tinted, which is unusual — most ceiling paints don't hold that. The flatter the finish, the more forgiving the application.September Deals [06:08]FrogTape is on special all September at RepcoLite — $13 for a three-pack of 1.5-inch tape. It's the product to reach for when you need crisp lines between colors, which color capping demands. More on FrogTape next week.Benjamin Moore Regal Select Interior is 20% off at all RepcoLite locations through September 14.A New Series: Furniture Refinishing [07:55]Over the next several weeks, Dan is doing a running series on refinishing and flipping furniture — finishes and when to use which, prep decisions like whether to strip or just sand, tools, tips, and techniques. It won't take over the whole show every week, and it won't necessarily appear every week.Furniture refinishing is one of the best gateway projects in DIY. The investment is low — a dresser, table, or cabinet from a thrift store, estate sale, or garage sale, or something already sitting in your basement — and with a fairly small set of tools and products you learn skills that transfer to projects all over your house. Plenty of people who now do all their own painting and remodeling got started by refinishing a single chest of drawers, and some turned it into a business.Is This Piece Worth Bringing Home? [11:07]Before any of the actual work comes the skill of standing in front of a piece at a thrift store, flea market, or Facebook Marketplace pickup and deciding whether it's worth your money. A former guest on the show — a professional refinisher — once grabbed a great-looking piece off the curb with a free sign on it, got it home, and realized in seconds that it wasn't wood at all. It was particle board with a convincing printed grain. It happens to people who do this for a living. Six things to check:Check the bones. Is the piece solid or wobbly? Are the major joints tight or separating? Do doors open and close smoothly, do drawers slide, are the drawer bottoms intact? Pull a drawer out and look at the underside. Look at the joinery — dovetails signal real effort and a much stronger drawer than corners that are stapled together, and irregular hand-cut dovetails suggest real age, real care, or both. Confirm the back panel is properly attached. Look for warping, rot, and water damage; minor versions are usually fixable, serious versions are a different project entirely. And check the feet. Dan once bought an ornate carved desk, inspected everything, and discovered at home that large chunks were missing from the back feet — right where they'd be visible in his space. On wood filler and "stainable." The epoxy putties and wood fillers used for repairs like that say "stainable" on the container, and most people read that as "will match." It doesn't mean that. It means the product will absorb stain — not that it will take stain in the same way, at the same rate, or in the same color as the real wood around it. Dan's repaired feet always read slightly lighter than everything else. If you're painting the piece, repairs are far less of a problem. If you're staining, assume the repair will show.Identify the material. Solid wood, veneer, or engineered? Solid wood and veneer can both be refinished. Engineered material with a printed grain can be painted with enough prep, but you're not working on a lasting piece of furniture. Check the edges and corners: on solid wood the face grain continues around onto the edge, while veneer shows a thin seam or a separate banding strip where the sheet stops. Veneer is genuinely workable despite what you sometimes hear — minor issues are easy to fix — but heavy lifting, bubbling, loose edges, or large missing sections make it substantially harder and slower.Painted pieces need extra scrutiny and lower expectations. Sometimes paint is there because somebody got tired of everything looking like wood, and stripping it reveals beautiful grain underneath. That's a real and genuinely thrilling outcome, and it will make you say the universal line — why would anyone have ever painted this? — roughly a hundred times. But paint also covers a multitude of sins: major repairs, or grain so unappealing that someone painted over it on purpose. Dan stripped a desk expecting treasure and found cheap wood with terrible graining that looked worse stained than painted. In the store, look for smoothness across large flat surfaces, or rather for spots that aren't smooth or uniform, which can signal putty repairs underneath. Beyond that, have a backup plan. If you'd be happy pivoting to a painted or partly painted finish, buy it. If the room truly requires stained and varnished, understand that you're gambling.Don't let the hardware throw you. New hardware transforms a piece. Dan passed on a chest of drawers a couple months back because he disliked the large wooden knobs, saw it again after someone else refinished it and swapped in brass, and was floored by the difference. He'd had no trouble picturing the refinishing — it was the hardware he failed to imagine. Hardware is easy to change in nearly every situation.Ask how complicated the refinish will be. Look at the shape, the detail, and the existing finish. A worn clear coat is one project; layers of old paint are another. The older...

Venice Beach is often referred to as the shark teeth capital of the world, but there had never been formal, peer reviewed documentation until a Florida Gulf Coast University professor published a paper breaking down what he and his students found beneath the waters there. The Venice shark and ray assemblage contains 45 species identified from their fossil teeth, all collected by Dr. Harry Maisch, Assistant Professor of Earth Science in the Department of Marine & Earth Sciences in The Water School at FGCU. We learn about his research, and this area's fascinating geologic past.

The brain remembers past inflammatory events.ABOUT THE GUEST: Isaac Chiu, PhD is a professor in the Department of Immunology at Harvard Medical School.

Most sales conversations assume buyers make rational decisions. Ted Olson argues that's exactly why so many deals stall. Ted Olson is a sales strategist who helps founders, consultants, coaches, and sales teams use behavioral science to improve how buyers make decisions. He is the author of Feel Good About Selling and the upcoming book, Distinct, where he explores what happens between a buyer saying, "This makes sense," and actually saying, "Yes."  In this episode, Ted and Mark challenge one of sales' biggest assumptions: why buyers hesitate. Is it fear or a lack of confidence? Their lively debate uncovers what really drives buying decisions and how sellers can help buyers confidently say yes.    Why you have to check out today's podcast: Learn why buyers hesitate and why it often has nothing to do with your price. Discover how great salespeople build buyer confidence instead of pushing harder to close. Understand what "We'll think about it" really means so you can reduce hesitation before objections show up.   "Indecision is fear-based. Status quo is fear-based. If you can address that fear, you can double your close rates." –  Ted Olson   Topics Covered: 02:05 – Are Buyers Rational? The Psychology Behind Every Buying Decision. Are buyers driven by logic or emotion? Ted and Mark debate how buyer psychology, perceived value, and decision-making influence pricing more than most companies realize. 05:45 – Buyers Buy Futures, Not Features. Learn why listing more features rarely wins deals. Discover how buyers imagine future outcomes and why too much information creates uncertainty instead of confidence. 09:10 – Why Buyers Say, "We'll Think About It". Is it really about price? Ted explains why buyer indecision is usually driven by fear and uncertainty, not budget or competition. 13:30 – Buyer Confidence vs. Buyer Fear. Mark introduces his Buyer Confidence Framework—payoff, probability, and anticipated regret—while Ted argues that every hesitation can be traced back to fear. 17:15 – Handle Buyer Objections Before They Happen. The best salespeople don't overcome objections—they prevent them. Learn how anticipating buyer concerns early makes closing feel natural. 23:00 – Stop Building Trust. Start Building Buyer Confidence. Ted introduces his new sales philosophy: Always Build Confidence. The goal isn't getting buyers to trust you—it's helping them trust their own decision. 26:20 – Why Buyers Push Back When You Try Too Hard. Learn how psychological reactance causes buyers to resist pressure, urgency, and traditional sales tactics—even when your solution is the right fit. 30:05 – How to Become the Obvious Choice. Ted shares the PACE Framework (Positioning, Authority, Conversion, Expansion) and explains how experts become the first choice before pricing is even discussed. 32:45 – What Really Shapes Willingness to Pay? Does willingness to pay come from ROI alone? Ted explains how context, experience, status, and perceived risk dramatically influence what buyers are willing to spend.   Key Takeaways: "If we think about pricing purely rationally, we'll miss the mark 100%." — Ted Olson "Buyers buy when they feel safe enough to buy." — Ted Olson "When I train sellers, I don't think about making them better sellers. I think about making them better decision-making coaches." — Ted Olson    People & Resources Mentioned: Matt Dixon & Brent Adamson – Authors of The JOLT Effect, referenced for their research on reducing buyer indecision and limiting information overload.

In this episode, we chat with Anthony Viljoen, who returns to the podcast to provide an update on the progress being made at Andrada Mining as the company continues to advance its ambition of becoming a leading African critical minerals producer.  We discuss the operational improvements behind record tin production at the Uis Mine, the impact of the new ore-sorting circuit, exploration progress at Brandberg West and Lithium Ridge, strategic partnerships with global industry leaders, and the key operational, technical and corporate milestones investors should be watching over the remainder of the year.  This episode is brought to you by Mining International, a global executive search partner to the mining industry. For bespoke search and advisory services, please visit www.mining-international.org KEY TAKEAWAYS By integrating an innovative X-ray transmission (XRT) ore-sorting circuit, Andrada Mining aims to eliminate 80% of waste upfront and boost operational throughput by approximately 60%. Distinct exploration programs at Brandberg West have revealed a rich blend of tin, tungsten, and copper, effectively shielding the project from single-commodity market volatility. The extensive drilling initiative at Lithium Ridge, conducted in partnership with SQM, has confirmed high-grade, near-surface mineralization spanning a 6km strike. Anthony believes that surging global interest in critical minerals offers a unique opportunity to revitalise liquidity and rebuild retail investor trust on the London AIM market. BEST MOMENTS "What started off as this consolidation of historic tin mines is turning into a district-scale mineralised province." "We'll get rid of 80% of the waste upfront... that makes the whole concentrated part of the circuit a lot more efficient." "Having the different array of minerals that we've got allows any sort of fluctuations [in the commodity game] to be smoothed out." "I think that with the flurry of interest in critical minerals, there is a unique chance now for AIM to reassert itself as the dominant mining market globally."

Continuing last week's conversation, we explore how God's set-apart people are to relate to the nations. Israel was forbidden from making alliances with the nations, and its way of life stood in stark contrast to the surrounding cultures. Kings, prophets, and priests each served a unique role in advancing God's purposes. But that was then. This is now. Did Christ's fulfillment of the prophecies overturn the Old Testament trajectory? Under the lordship of Jesus, what has changed, and what has remained the same, and what does that mean for us today? Did Jesus walk the hard road so we could have an easy one? Or are we called to follow the example of our King? Tune in today to find out. Because the best conversations happen After Class.

Nicole O'Byrne speaks with Monika Gagnon and Brandon Webb about their book Concordia University at 50: A Collective History, which celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the merging of Loyola College and Sir George Williams University in Montreal in August 1974. Distinct from traditional institutional histories, this volume approaches Concordia University's history from the ground up by sharing a plurality of voices from across the university over time. Fifty contributions from faculty, staff, students, and alumni, present stories of a vibrant community and its activities in a multilayered collection of professional and personal reflections, essays, and oral histories conducted with participants and observers of key events. Providing insights into the early political pressures that inspired Concordia's formation and the growing pains of the merger among its four faculties, as well as the development of new programs such as dance, theological studies, and études françaises, this book is a testament to an urban university formed by its many constituents and by the multilingual city and the complex province that is its home. Enriched with copious and colourful archival documents, photographs, and public artworks that grace these urban campuses, Concordia University at 50 highlights the great range of activities, causes, innovations, and debates that emerge from educational institutions but extend well beyond the classroom. Monika Kin Gagnon is professor of communication studies at Concordia University. Brandon Webb is a PhD graduate of the Department of History at Concordia University.  If you like our work, please consider supporting it: bit.ly/support_WTY.

In contemporary discourse, antizionism is treated either as legitimate political critique or as bigotry only when it resembles recognizable forms of classical antisemitism. This article challenges that assumption. I argue that antizionism is a coherent ideological formation with a distinct genealogy, stable core tropes, and a specific political logic. Tracing its development across the Nazi–Islamist axis, Soviet propaganda, and Western settler-colonial theory, I identify a recurring triad of libels—colonizer, apartheid, genocide—that compose its discourse. Combining genealogical reconstruction with anthropological description, I show that antizionism constitutes a political inversion of classical antisemitism. Whereas classical antisemitism was anti-assimilationist, casting Jews as alien outsiders, antizionism is assimilationist, denying the legitimacy of Jewish peoplehood and indigeneity. This inversion reclassifies the Jew by reversing the cultural categories through which Jews are imagined, recoding the Jew from non-European infiltrator to white colonizer. Recognizing this structure clarifies antizionism as a distinct contemporary formation of anti-Jewish bigotry. Learn more about your ad choices.

A Distinct AccentActs 11:19-30Teacher: Pastor Tommy BaileyDate: June 21, 2026In Acts 11:19-30, the gospel reaches Syrian Antioch, the third-largest city in the ancient world. Believers scattered by persecution arrived, speaking the name of Jesus, and the hand of the Lord was with them. Something about their words and their lives set them apart, a spiritual accent the city had never heard. Their way of life was so unusual that the pagan city of Antioch had no category for them. Likely as a derogatory term, believers were called Christiansfor the first time.Join Pastor Tommy as we consider what made this young church so unique: what they said, how they lived, and who they turned to. These believers were so captured by Jesus that their whole way of life pointed to another home.Join Our Community:Our Sunday morning worship services are comprised of verse-by-verse Bible teaching, Christ-centered worship, and a time of congregational prayer.In-Person: 9 am & 11 am in Nashville, TNOnline: 10 am at https://thevillagechapel.online.churchConnect With Us:Dive deeper into our verse-by-verse studies.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit www.politix.fmIt's a been a busy seven days, so we race through a bunch of topics, with a special focus on Graham Platner, the state of the Maine Senate race, and then some stake driving on how Democrats should prepare for the likelihood that they'll inherit the country back in economic and budgetary shambles.In this episode, Matt and Brian discuss:* Would the Democratic Party be better off or worse off with two Democrats (Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer) at the top of the California ballot?* Is Donald Trump's spiraling presidency cause for schadenfreude, alarm, or both at once? * Is the latest Platner scandal worse than the previous ones? Part of the same story?Distinct in ways that might be more likely to put off older voters? And what should he do to get back into a commanding position?Then a look ahead to 2029 (but possibly sooner). Inflation and interest rates and deficits and debt are all high. When Democrats next regain power (if not sooner) they will face enormous pressure to cut deficits—and unlike in 2009, it'll be for a good reason. How should they present this to the public. What's a sound and moral way to retrench, particularly given the rapacious greed that ballooned deficits under Trump? And how should they frame their opening bids, so they don't get stuck in another lopsided austerity negotiation with Republicans?Answers are available in full to paid subscribers—just upgrade your subscription and pipe full episodes directly to your favorite podcast app via your own private feed.Further reading:* Brian argues Democratic operatives planning for the post-Trump era need to go back to the drawing board.* Matt argues it's time to start freaking out about the national debt.* Josh Kovensky's précis on the Broadview Six fiasco. * A reminder that Colorado Dems still could and should oust Jared Polis.

(13) Peter Berkowitz examines two distinct intellectual critiques of the United States as it approaches its 250th anniversary: the postmodern progressives and the post-liberal right. The progressives argue that America is mired in systemic oppression and that its founding principles are the actual cause of its problems. The post-liberal right, conversely, views the nation as decadent and corrupt because it fails to recognize a higher religious authority. Both groups advocate for fundamental changes, with the right-wing critique specifically calling for the government to take a more active role in leading citizens toward virtue and salvation.1671NEW AMSTERDAM

Guided Question How does returning to God's original design for men and women—through submission to Scripture and dependence on the Holy Spirit—challenge the way you currently understand leadership, responsibility, and relationship in your own life? Summary In this message, Dr. Robert Lewis continues his Genesis series by examining roles as part of God's original design for humanity. Building on the prior discussion of equality and difference between men and women, he explores how biblical roles are revealed in Genesis 1–3 and how New Testament writers interpret these passages. Dr. Lewis argues that while men and women are created equal in value and dignity as image-bearers of God, they are given distinct, complementary roles. He highlights several features from Genesis 2 that suggest male headship: Adam's creation first, his assignment to cultivate and guard the garden, his receiving God's command directly, and his role in naming both the animals and the woman. These elements, Lewis explains, are foundational to how the New Testament understands leadership in the home and the church. The sermon then turns to Genesis 3 and the Fall, showing how sin disrupts God's intended order. Satan approaches Eve first, roles are reversed, and Adam fails to lead—resulting in devastating consequences. God's curse affects men and women differently, distorting both leadership and submission into struggle, domination, and resistance. Dr. Lewis explains that this “battle of the sexes” flows directly from the Fall, not from God's original design. Finally, the message offers hope through redemption in Christ. While the curse still affects believers, it can be progressively reversed through radical submission to God's Word and dependence on the Holy Spirit. Drawing from Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3, Dr. Lewis emphasizes that Spirit-filled living restores God's design—calling husbands to loving, sacrificial leadership and wives to respectful submission—so that God's original intent for harmony, purpose, and witness can again be displayed to the world. Outline Introduction: From Differentness to Roles Review of Genesis 1: equality and distinction Cultural resistance to biblical roles Trusting God's conclusions rather than human reasoning Genesis 2: Roles Revealed Adam as primary focus of the chapter God as Father providing occupation and wife Man's role as leader; woman as helper Symbiotic design for subduing and multiplying Theological Indicators of Headship Man created first Adam receiving God's command directly Adam's responsibility to instruct Eve Naming as an act of authority New Testament Affirmation Paul's grounding of church roles in Genesis Key passages: 1 Timothy 2; 1 Corinthians 11 & 14 Roles rooted in creation, not culture Genesis 3: The Fall and Role Reversal Satan's strategy and temptation Doubting God's Word and motives Eve leads; Adam follows Adam held responsible for the Fall The Curse and Distorted Roles Pain in childbirth and toil in work “Desire” and “rule” explained through Genesis 4:7 Struggle, domination, and oppression introduced Roles Restored Through Christ The curse still affects believers Radical commitment required The Word and the Spirit working together Ephesians 5 and Colossians 3 as the pathway forward Conclusion God's design as a witness to the world Faithfulness to Scripture despite cultural opposition Key Takeaways Men and women are equal in worth but distinct in role, according to God's design. Biblical roles are rooted in creation, not culture or convenience. The Fall distorted both male leadership and female submission into struggle and oppression. Adam bears responsibility for the Fall because headship includes accountability. Every temptation involves doubting God's Word and His character. The conflict between men and women is a result of sin, not God's original plan. Restoration of roles requires radical submission to Scripture and reliance on the Holy Spirit. Spirit-filled, Word-centered lives enable loving leadership and willing submission. God's redeemed design in marriage and church serves as a testimony to the world. Scripture References Genesis 1:26–28 — Men and women are equally created in God's image and given shared purpose. Genesis 2:15–25 — Distinct, complementary roles are established in creation. Genesis 3:1–19 — Sin reverses God's design and introduces conflict and hardship. Genesis 4:6–7 — “Desire” describes a struggle for control. Luke 3:38 — Adam's representative responsibility is affirmed. 1 Corinthians 11:8–9 — Creation order informs male and female roles. 1 Timothy 2:12–13 — Church roles are grounded in creation, not culture. Ephesians 5:18–33 — Spirit-filled living restores God's design in marriage. Colossians 3:16–19 — God's Word directs healthy marital relationships. Recorded on 1.31.82

or Jews, Shavuot commemorates the revelation at Mount Sinai and the giving of the Torah. For Christians, Pentecost marks the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in Acts chapter 2 and the birth of the Church's public mission. These are not the same holiday, and this conversation does not blur the profound theological differences between Judaism and Christianity. Yet the parallels are impossible to ignore. In this episode of Shoulder to Shoulder, Rabbi Pesach Wolicki and Pastor Doug Reed explore the deep biblical and symbolic connections between Sinai and Pentecost: fire, covenant, divine revelation, responsibility, language, and the call to bring knowledge of God into the world. Along the way, they examine how Acts chapter 2 emerges from a thoroughly Jewish context, why Shavuot has no explicit biblical explanation, and what both faith communities can learn from the idea that ordinary believers are meant to become God's representatives in the world. This is a thoughtful and text-based exploration of how two distinct traditions can share resonant themes without surrendering their unique identities.

Today we're here to share some war investing wisdom with you as we deal with an unusually volatile and fragmented market environment. Distinct "market paradigms" have rapidly rotated month-to-month, creating confusion for investors as sectors behave inconsistently. Despite a strong earnings week and resilient equities, underlying concerns are building, including rising interest rates, surging energy costs, and early signs of economic slowdown that could pressure consumers and corporate margins over time. There is a growing disconnect between market performance and economic reality, warning of potential earnings compression as higher costs and weakening demand squeeze companies. Remain cautious and selective, as the market is difficult to handicap. Right now, patience may be the most prudent strategy. Today we discuss...  Markets are behaving unusually in 2026, driven more by sentiment and geopolitical events than consistent trends. War has disrupted typical market patterns, yet equities have rebounded back to all-time highs. Distinct "pre-war, war, and post-war" paradigms have created sharp, month-to-month sector rotations. Tech and semiconductors have led the recent rally, despite broader inconsistency across sectors. A major earnings week showed mixed results, with strong performance overall but clear winners and losers. Economic data signals a slowing economy, though not yet strong enough to confirm a recession. Rising oil prices and geopolitical tensions are increasing inflationary pressures and economic uncertainty. Consumers are beginning to feel pressure from higher costs, especially energy, which could impact spending. A "margin squeeze" risk is emerging as companies face rising costs and slowing revenue growth. Markets remain resilient despite weakening underlying fundamentals, creating a growing disconnect. Big Tech continues to generate strong cash flow but faces uncertainty due to heavy AI-related capital spending. Emerging markets and rate-sensitive sectors face elevated risks in the current environment. Corporate earnings quality may deteriorate through lowered expectations or financial adjustments. Housing and consumer data remain weak, signaling underlying fragility in the economy. The biggest forward risk to markets is earnings compression rather than inflation or the war itself. Seasonality and historical patterns suggest potential weakness in the coming months.   Today's Panelists: Kirk Chisholm | Innovative Wealth Douglas Heagren | Mergent College Advisors Follow on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/moneytreepodcast Follow LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/showcase/money-tree-investing-podcast Follow on Twitter/X: https://x.com/MTIPodcast For more information, visit the full show notes at https://moneytreepodcast.com/war-investing-wisdom-patience-and-caution-813
