Presented by Karly Hampshire, MD; Natasha Sood, MD, MPH; and Bhargavi Chekuri, MD (Moderator)STFM Conference on Medical Student Education Closing Session | Sunday, February 1, 2026Climate change is the greatest health threat of the 21st century, yet medical education has been slow to prepare future physicians for its wide-ranging impacts on health systems and patient care. In this session, we spotlight the power of student-led innovation in advancing climate and health education through two globally recognized initiatives: the Planetary Health Report Card (PHRC) and Climate Resources for Health Education (CRHE). Both began as grassroots projects by medical students who identified gaps in their training and took action to fill them. PHRC now benchmarks health professional schools internationally on planetary health curriculum, research, and operations, while CRHE has developed a growing library of open-access teaching materials to equip faculty with ready-to-use climate and health resources.Through a panel discussion with the co-founders of PHRC and CRHE, participants will hear first-hand stories of how these initiatives were built, scaled, and sustained as international collaborations. Panelists will reflect on their “aha” moments, early challenges, and lessons learned in fostering inter-institutional collaboration, leveraging mentorship, and bridging the gap between education and clinical practice. As both panelists now train as residents, they will also share how their perspectives on climate and health education have evolved with greater exposure to patient care and health systems.This session will equip educators, learners, and leaders with practical insights on cultivating an entrepreneurial mindset, leveraging collaboration, and supporting the next generation of change agents in climate and health education.Learning ObjectivesUpon completion of this session, participants should be able to:Describe how trainee-led initiatives have advanced climate and health integration in medical education worldwide.Identify strategies for fostering collaboration, mentorship, and sustainability in grassroots educational innovations.Apply lessons from student innovators to support the development of new climate and health education efforts at their own institutions.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send a textA courageous journey, a chance meeting and a single ring on the bell at the gilded gates of his future, changed everything for Kevin Tewis and launched him into being! And nothing has stopped him ever since!At 15, a disastrous careers interview informed Kevin that he simply wasn't good enough and a life of stacking biscuits as opposed to a glorious creative career lay ahead. To quote Churchill Insurance's iconic dog Winston that Kevin subsequently went on to create: "Oh No-No-No-No-No!" A day later Kevin found himself at the gates of 5 Star, his very favourite band. And having taken his destiny into his own hands, there at the gates, his future began. That mix of nerve and pitch-perfect timing became a blueprint that Kevin still follows: Create work with staying power, not sugar highs. In this extraordinary episode we explore how a shy Superfan became a Photographer, a Music Producer, a Brand Builder, a Creativity Legend and the mind behind one of Britain's most loved advertising icons, Churchill's nodding bulldog Winston: "Oh Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes-Yes!"We dig into the craft. Kevin's teenage habit of hand-charting Top 40 hits helped him decode what makes a song endure across formats and decades. That data-meets-feel approach fuelled records designed to live on Heart and Smooth long after the charts. It also birthed a branding masterstroke: “Winston,” a bulldog that turned insurance into affection by blending British heritage with warmth and simple, memorable language. You'll hear how he later applied the same logic in government, naming ANTENNA for Number 10's secure comms by building inward and outward meaning straight into the word.Mentors loom large in Kevin's story. From Five Star's kindness to Eddie Gordon's industry schooling, he shows how generosity scales careers—and why he now mentors young creators, sits on a school trust, and argues for business literacy in classrooms. We talk ad quality, radio's surprising strength, Simon Cowell's new boy band era, and why AI is best treated like Grammarly: a sharp helper, not a stand-in for empathy, timing, and taste. Creativity remains stubbornly human because what moves us keeps shifting.The most luminous turn arrives with fatherhood. Kevin shares the joy and honesty of building a family through surrogacy and egg donation, keeping both women an active part of his children's lives. It's a lesson in dignity, clarity, and the kind of legacy that truly lasts. Anchored by a favourite line from Kipling's If—keep your head when others lose theirs—this conversation is a guide for anyone who wants to make things people will still love in ten, twenty, thirty years.Enjoy the story, share it with a friend who needs a nudge of courage, and if it resonates, subscribe and leave a review so more listeners can find these conversations.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send a textWhat if staying sharp has nothing to do with age and everything to do with curiosity? We sit down with Harry Mount, editor of The Oldie, for a brisk, generous tour through a life shaped by language, architecture, bicycles, and the courage to change course. Harry opens with the soul of the magazine—why it prizes wit over celebrity and celebrates people “with snap in their celery”—and takes us inside Oldie Of The Year, where legends and unsung heroes share a stage and a laugh.From there, we travel to his “clearing” on the Pembrokeshire cliffs and the four moments that defined his path: the quiet impact of a brother he never met, a childhood powered by worry and exams, a sharp pivot from barrister-in-waiting to gossip columnist, and finally the long, lively challenge of editing a 100-page print institution. Along the way, Barry Humphries' razor wit, Giles Brandreth's encomiums, and the thrill of clean copy land with warmth and precision.Harry's passions animate every page: the “R factor” of great buildings, from Vanbrugh to Hawksmoor; the classics as living tools woven through two-thirds of English; and the deceptive ease of comic prose from Wodehouse, Waugh, Mitford, and Amis. He shares honest distractions—the tug of the internet, the tonic of Hampstead ponds—and a love of press trips where purpose beats the pressure to have fun. There's a personal twist too: his distant cousin Tony Adams, whose openness about addiction helped shift the culture around recovery.Two lines frame the wisdom here. From Virgil: “One day it will help to remember even these things,” a balm for hard seasons and a nudge toward meaning. From Arthur Balfour via Bill Deedes: “Nothing matters very much, and very few things matter at all,” a reminder to edit life with a lighter touch. The dream? To be remembered for a great comic novel—and, failing that, for meeting interesting people, doing interesting things, and writing them up right.If you love good stories, beautiful buildings, late‑period Elvis, and the feeling of wind-in-your-face clarity on a bike, you'll feel at home. Listen, share with a friend who needs a purposeful nudge, and leave a review so more curious minds can find us.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

What happens when decades of trusted learning and development expertise meet purpose-built AI? In this episode, Ken Taylor, CEO of Training Industry, and Amanda Longo, Vice President of Brand Strategy, explore TIA, Training Industry's new AI-powered assistant, designed specifically for L&D professionals to support learning strategy and performance.Show Notes:Ken Taylor and Amanda Longo from Training Industry share the benefits of their organization's AI Agent TIA including these key points:TIA is built for L&D and nothing else. Unlike general AI tools, TIA is trained exclusively on Training Industry's vetted content, including research reports, articles, webinars, and expert contributions. This ensures responses are relevant, credible, and grounded in the realities of learning and development work.Transparency and attribution are non-negotiable. A core design principle of TIA is showing users exactly where information comes from. Every response is sourced, allowing learning leaders to explore original articles, compare perspectives, and build confidence in the guidance they receive.Guardrails matter for trust and quality. TIA is intentionally limited to Training Industry's content ecosystem. If the answer isn't there, TIA says so—reducing AI hallucinations and reinforcing integrity over convenience.TIA supports preparation, not content creation. TIA isn't meant to replace instructional designers or subject matter experts. Instead, it helps learning leaders think through structure, strategy, and next steps—making the human work faster and more informed.AI works best when paired with community. TIA is designed to complement Training Industry's peer and expert network. Learning leaders can use AI-generated insights as a springboard into conversations with practitioners, contributors, and Training Industry staff—turning AI into a catalyst for connected learning.Related Articles:[Product Demo] Meet Tia, Your AI Agent for Solving L&D ChallengesHow Training Industry Turned Two Decades of Knowledge Into an AI Agent: A Case StudyPowered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

Rashi explains that “gedi” in “Lo tevashel gedi bachalev imo” refers specifically to a young animal—calf or lamb—not merely a goat. Yet the Gemara mentions parah and rachel. The analysis shows that even there the intent is their offspring, preserving the precise meaning of “gedi.” https://www.torahrecordings.com/classes/by_parsha/002_shemos/006_mishpatim/002

How CX Leaders Can Navigate the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World Shep interviews Scott McKain, award-winning speaker and best-selling author. He talks about his latest book, Beyond Distinction: How Leaders Transcend the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World, and how leaders and organizations can create meaningful, distinctive customer experiences in an AI-transformed world. This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: Why is consistency important in providing an excellent customer experience? What role does emotional connection play in building customer loyalty? How should companies leverage technology to improve customer service without losing the human touch? What are some effective ways to deliver a proactive customer experience? Why is standing out from competitors not enough to build lasting customer relationships? Top Takeaways: Standing out from competitors is important. However, simply being different is not always good. Distinction is when what we do is unique, compelling, and memorable in a way that is impactful and meaningful to the customers we seek to serve. Consistency wows customers. Amazing customer experiences are built on doing small things right, every time. When every interaction is handled with care and attention, customers learn to trust the brand. Technology, like AI, can make your business faster and more efficient, but loyalty comes from how you make customers feel. Even with simple gestures like remembering someone's name or checking whether the customer got everything they need, it's the human touch that keeps people coming back. Use AI to save money and handle repetitive tasks efficiently, giving your team more time to focus on resolving customer issues and building stronger relationships. Every organization should be very precise about what they aren't, just as clear as they are about what they are. Real competitive advantage does not come from reacting to trends or to what your competitors are doing. If you are constantly in reaction mode, you are already behind. Staying ahead means anticipating your customers' needs before they realize what they want. Artificial Intelligence amplifies the values and habits a business already has, good or bad. If a business is committed to consistently providing excellent service, AI will help them do so even better. If a business is running on broken systems or is only focused on cutting costs, AI could make those problems worse. Plus, Scott shares more insights from his latest book, Beyond Distinction: How Leaders Transcend the Turbulence of an AI-Transformed World. Tune in! Quote: "Tasks go to technology, but emotion and customers go to human beings." About: Scott McKain is a Hall of Fame speaker, business advisor, and the founder/CEO of the Distinction Institute. He is the best-selling author of ALL Business is STILL Show Business, Iconic, Create Distinction, and his latest, Beyond Distinction. Shep Hyken is a customer service and experience expert, New York Times bestselling author, award-winning keynote speaker, and host of Amazing Business Radio. Learn more about your ad choices.

Nathan Wood, author of "Bombs, Bots, and the Principle of Distinction: The Law of Armed Conflict and Contemporary Warfare," speaks on the principle of distinction in an age of autonomous warfare. He argues that while some concerns about these technologies are valid, we must move beyond general debates to address the specific legal and operational realities of concrete systems. Our conversation explores how the US military can utilize these advancements while maintaining a fundamental, felt sense of human responsibility.

PSALMS 111–113 — PRAISE, COVENANT REMEMBRANCE, RIGHTEOUS STABILITY, AND YAHUAH'S EXALTATIONEvening MessageTeacher: Kerry BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis evening Torah message covers Psalms 111 through 113, a unified progression of covenant praise, remembrance, upright stability, and Yahuah's exaltation over all creation.These Psalms are not emotional poetry. They are covenant formation. The Writings witness Torah, call Israel to fear, and define what righteousness produces in the life of the set-apart remnant.Psalm 111 establishes that the fear of Yahuah begins with remembering His works and honoring His covenant.Psalm 112 shows the fruit of that fear, stability, obedience, generosity, and endurance against the wicked.Psalm 113 exalts Yahuah as the Most High who still attends to the lowly, raising the poor and restoring households by covenant mercy.This message is taught with judicial clarity, precept upon precept, and requires a lawful response.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEPraise in the Assembly, Not Private ReligionPsalm 111Praise belongs in the gathered order of the upright, not isolated spirituality. Covenant people worship publicly in truth and remembrance.The Works of Yahuah Are Studied, Not ForgottenPsalm 111The remnant does not admire Yahuah's acts, they study them. Forgetting produces rebellion. Memory is obedience.Covenant Provision and Command Are JoinedPsalm 111Yahuah provides for those who fear Him, and His provision is governed by covenant order, not entitlement.The Fear of Yahuah is the Beginning of WisdomPsalm 111Wisdom begins with trembling submission. No fear, no wisdom. No obedience, no understanding.The Righteous Man Produced by Covenant FearPsalm 112Blessing is attached to delight in commandments. Upright men are stable in darkness and unshaken under trial.Generosity as Covenant Order, Not Charity CulturePsalm 112Giving is covenant justice and stewardship. Ordered care among the set-apart, not forced redistribution.Separation Revealed by OppositionPsalm 112The wicked grind their teeth against righteousness. Distinction returns. Opposition proves separation.Yahuah Exalted, Yet Near the LowlyPsalm 113The Most High humbles Himself to behold the poor, raising them from the dust and seating them with princes.Household Restoration as Covenant FruitPsalm 113Fruitfulness and restoration are governed by Yahuah's mercy, not human control. He builds households by covenant order.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSCovenant praise is public and orderedRemembrance is obedienceFear is the beginning of wisdomRighteousness produces stabilityGiving is governed by Torah justiceOpposition reveals separationYahuah lifts the lowly by covenant mercyHouseholds are restored by His handThese Psalms train the remnant to live upright, fear Yahuah without hypocrisy, and trust His exaltation and governance in every condition.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYPsalms 111–113Deuteronomy 31Exodus 13Deuteronomy 4Deuteronomy 8Proverbs 1Ecclesiastes 12Isaiah 66Psalm 1Deuteronomy 28Psalm 37Deuteronomy 15Psalm 2Malachi 3Isaiah 571 Samuel 1–2Genesis 21Isaiah 54Revelation 7Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.

That question sits at the heart of our conversation with Founder Ingrid Sanderson of Principal Travel, a boutique, independent firm built to help professionals arrive fresh, not frazzled. We dig into how her team blends concierge-level care with smart digital tools to protect a traveller's most precious assets: time, money, and wellbeing.Ingrid shares the origin story behind a 27-year journey through ash clouds, strikes, airport outages, Brexit, and a once-in-a-century pandemic.

Our ears, nose, and throat (ENT) work quietly together to shape how we hear, breathe, taste, and even defend ourselves against the outside world. From the often-misunderstood role of earwax to why dry air and seasonal changes make nosebleeds more common—and how inflammation and mucosal irritation contribute to sore throats—many everyday ENT issues are actually signs of smart protective design. But with such a complex system, how simple can effective treatments really be? Can warm tea with honey actually soothe throat irritation? Are cotton swabs really bad for our ears? Can spicy foods truly clear sinus infections?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Chris Park, MD (known online as ChrisP.MD), an Otolaryngology (ENT) - Head & Neck Surgery Chief Resident Physician.Dr. Park received his B.A. in Biology and Computer Science from Dartmouth College and his M.D. with Distinction in Research from the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where he was a Researcher at the Laryngology Lab.

Torah Class | Distinction, Order, and Daily HolinessTeachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues Leviticus chapter 11, focusing on the laws of clean and unclean as they apply to daily life within the covenant community.Leviticus 11 is not a lesson about diet, culture, or preference. It is instruction on discernment, restriction, and obedience after holiness has been established and judgment has already occurred in Leviticus 10.Part 2 of this chapter addresses how uncleanness spreads, how time and process govern restoration, and why distinction must be practiced intentionally to preserve order in the camp.This is not symbolic teaching.This is covenant instruction.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGEUncleanness and Contact Leviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is not sin, but it does restrict access. Torah teaches how contact affects status and why awareness, not panic, is required.Environmental Spread and Containment Leviticus 11:32–35Uncleanness can transfer quietly through vessels, objects, and spaces. Order must be maintained intentionally or disorder spreads.Boundaries, Time, and Restoration Leviticus 11:39–40Uncleanness is governed by process and time. Restoration follows obedience, not impulse.Internal Governance Leviticus 11:41–43Israel is commanded not only in action, but in posture. Detestation prevents tolerance and protects discernment.Identity and Purpose Leviticus 11:44–45Distinction flows from redemption. Israel is called to be qadosh because Yahuah is qadosh.The Goal of Distinction Leviticus 11:46–47The chapter concludes by restating purpose: to distinguish between clean and unclean, preparing Israel to live daily near holiness.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDistinction preserves orderRestriction protects accessUncleanness requires awarenessTime governs restorationTolerance erodes holinessDaily obedience sustains the campLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not maintained through intention, but through disciplined, consistent obedience in ordinary life.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 10–11Exodus 11–12Deuteronomy 14Numbers 19Ezekiel 44Isaiah 52Malachi 2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.Our teaching follows the Sovereign Blueprint:Law | Precept | Example | Wisdom | Understanding | Prudence | Conviction | Fruit of the Ruach | Final Heart CheckSUPPORT THE WORK — GIVE VIA ZELLEZelle QR available at: ahavaloveministry.comZelle only.No CashApp.No PayPal.FINAL WORDHoliness requires distinction.Distinction requires discipline.Discipline preserves access.Leviticus 11 governs how Israel lives daily in proximity to Yahuah's presence.Final Heart CheckAre your daily choices preserving distinction, or quietly eroding it?

When done well, learning design grabs participants' attention like a great marketing campaign and engages them emotionally and intellectually to make learning stick. That's the premise of “Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro,” a book written by our guests Mike Taylor and Bianca Baumann. In this episode, you will learn how to elevate traditional training approaches with marketing tools such as learner personas, journey mapping, and content strategy that come together in high impact learning campaigns.Show Notes: Co-authors Mike Taylor and Bianca Baumann share some of the top takeaways from their book, “Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D Pro,” to help you create experiences that learners crave.L&D can learn a lot from marketing. Marketers know the value of making an emotional connection with their audience —L&D should too. Applying marketing principles can help learning designers create experiences that boost performance and influence behavior.Learner personas are foundational, not optional. Understanding who learners are, what they need, and what motivates them is critical to designing content that resonates and sticks.Journey mapping helps deliver learning at the right moment. Mapping the learner journey allows L&D teams to support employees before, during, and after key moments—not just during formal training events.Content strategy drives behavior change. When personas, journey maps, and content strategy work together, learning becomes more targeted, improving proficiency and long-term behavior change.It all comes together in a Learning Campaign. Smaller, well-timed content—resources, nudges, and reinforcements—create more impact than one-time standalone training events.Success is measured beyond completion rates. True learning impact shows up in measuring performance, confidence, and on-the-job behavior—not just in LMS reports.Learn more about Think Like a Marketer, Train Like an L&D ProConnect with Mike Connect with Bianca Powered by Learning earned Awards of Distinction in the Podcast/Audio and Business Podcast categories from The Communicator Awards and a Gold and Silver Davey Award.

We are a world that devours stories. Most people tune in every night to be taken in by the stories others are living or they have created, and the vast majority of these stories are centered about a grand cause. The action and adventure movies and dramas we love so often showcase someone encountering a cause and devoting themselves to it. A cause. Something bigger than themselves that involves protecting or supporting the welfare of something or someone else. Finding and having a cause is often the most profound aspect of a life well lived. But we don't seem to grasp how finding a cause works. We tend to think of learning and training and preparing, so that we can commit to something truly big and worthy. A grand purpose. A cause. My guest today argues, in the most compassionate way possible, we have it backwards, and that the greatest people ever known simply committed to something they believed in, and the journey within it is what made them great. It crafted and honed them. The challenge and trials and triumphs along the way is what refined them. Then the charge is not to commit to preparation, but to commit now and let the commitment prepare you along the way. Lynne Twist is a recognized global visionary and legendary humanitarian. Lynne wowed the world with her first book, The Soul of Money, but I had her on my show for her book, Living a Committed Life: Finding Freedom and Fulfillment in a Purpose Larger Than Yourself. Lynne's own story began when she heard about the The Hunger Project where their goal was to end world hunger, and knew she was supposed to devote her life to it. She spent a decade there and has influenced more people through more humanitarian efforts than nearly anyone. Lynne has been an advisor to the Desmond Tutu Foundation. The United Nations honored her with a “Woman of Distinction” award. From working with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to the refugee camps in Ethiopia and the threatened rainforests of the Amazon, Lynne's on-the-ground work has brought her a deep understanding of the social tapestry of the world and the historical landscape of the times we are living in. Over the past 45 years Lynne has worked with over 100,000 people in 50 countries in the arenas of fundraising with integrity, conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning and having a healthy relationship with money.

“Holiness at the Table: Discernment Through Repetition”Teachers: Kerry & Karen BattleAhava ~ Love AssemblyThis Torah class continues our verse-by-verse instruction through the book of Leviticus and addresses covenant obedience at its most daily and unavoidable level: what enters the body of Yisra'el.Leviticus 11 is not symbolic.It is not cultural.It is not optional.This chapter establishes Yahuah's distinctions between clean and unclean and trains Israel in discipline, restraint, and self-governance through repeated obedience. Holiness here is not emotional or dramatic. It is practiced, measurable, and enforced through daily conduct.This lesson is taught verse-by-verse, precept upon precept, using a judicial structure that keeps authority in the text and removes negotiation.This is not dietary preference.This is covenant law.WHAT WE COVER IN THIS MESSAGE1. Authority Over AppetiteLeviticus 11:1–2Yahuah speaks to Moses and Aaron and commands them to instruct all Israel. Eating is placed under covenant authority. No one is exempt. Obedience at the table becomes a national responsibility, not a personal choice.2. Distinction by Defined StandardsLeviticus 11:3–8Clean land animals must meet two conditions. Partial qualification does not count. Yahuah names animals that appear close to clean in order to eliminate rationalization. Near-obedience is rejected.3. Environment Does Not Change ObedienceLeviticus 11:9–12Water creatures are governed by the same clarity. Fins and scales are required. Context does not override command. Location never excuses deviation.4. Nature MattersLeviticus 11:13–19Predatory and scavenger birds are forbidden by name. Israel is prohibited from consuming what feeds on death. Diet is tied to covenant character.5. Exceptions Require CommandLeviticus 11:20–23Winged swarming things are largely forbidden, with specific named exceptions. Permission does not come from usefulness or tradition. Silence from Torah is not approval.6. Defilement Without ConsumptionLeviticus 11:24–28Uncleanness is transmitted through contact. Defilement does not require intent or appetite. Obedience includes restraint and acceptance of interruption.7. Absolute ProhibitionsLeviticus 11:29–31Creeping and ground-dwelling creatures are unclean entirely. No justification is given because none is required. Familiarity does not cleanse.8. Household TransmissionLeviticus 11:32–35Objects, tools, and shared spaces can become unclean. Obedience is not private. One person's choices affect the household.9. Discernment Without PanicLeviticus 11:36–38Torah distinguishes between contamination and destruction. Clean sources remain clean. Israel is trained to discern, not overcorrect.10. Circumstance Alters PermissionLeviticus 11:39–40Even clean animals produce uncleanness when death is involved. What is permitted can become forbidden by condition.11. Self-Governance Under TorahLeviticus 11:41–43Negligence is treated as defilement. Israel is commanded not to make themselves detestable. Discipline must be internal.12. Purpose of the LawLeviticus 11:44–47Yahuah ties dietary obedience to holiness and identity. Distinction preserves covenant order. Discernment is the goal.WHY THIS MESSAGE MATTERSDaily obedience reveals authorityDistinction preserves holinessRepetition forms disciplineNegligence defilesHouseholds transmit obedience or disorderSelf-governance is required under covenant lawLeviticus 11 teaches that holiness is not proven in moments of crisis, but in ordinary, repeated obedience.SCRIPTURE REFERENCES FOR STUDYLeviticus 11Leviticus 20Deuteronomy 14Isaiah 65–66Ezekiel 4Ezekiel 44Malachi 1–2Every section is taught precept upon precept.ABOUT AHAVA ~ LOVE ASSEMBLYWe teach the Pure Word of Yahuah.No religion.No tradition.No compromise.
Barry draws a sharp distinction between sex and love: true love, especially between devoted partners, travels down into the subconscious and disturbs the past, bringing up old doubt, heartbreak, conditioning, and stored emotional patterns so they can be seen rather than lived as present reality. He says the right response is stillness—recognising what rises as past unreality—so love can do its work and lead to increasing detachment from feelings and eventual freedom. Sex, by contrast, may satisfy present desire but it disturbs the emotions in a way that produces cycles of excitement and depression. Sex is a drug — and leads to restlessness rather than settled love. Barry describes the beauty of man and woman disappearing into each other through love, not the mind's sexual excitement.Barry then speaks of the watcher or the witness in everyone — utterly uninvolved, always present— whose deepest point is the Lord, and reads letters describing realizations of pristine stillness, ordinariness, and the sense of being nothing behind all appearances. He stresses that this is not mere talk or philosophy but a descent into being, and warns that the mind—tied to senses and practical life—is an utter obstacle in matters of God and truth; the practice is to leave the mind in neutral and rest in stillness, like dreamless sleep, letting doubts lose their force.Then, in extended dialogue with attendees, he addresses the fear of stillness, self-consciousness, celibacy and not giving thoughts or images continuity, the gradual stopping of thinking as fear subsides, and practical struggles (including smoking, drinking, and sexual momentum,) repeatedly bringing people back to simplicity, honesty, and being.~Source:This is recording 16 of 20 from the Master Sessions of 1996, recorded on 8 November 1996 at Cabarita on Australia's Tweed Coast.

"The Good Listening To" Podcast with me Chris Grimes! (aka a "GLT with me CG!")
Send us a textPressure doesn't just test us; it can transform us. My guest, Diana Esther Berschader, introduces us to her "Diamond Within" Spiritual Philosophy: A living source of inner guidance that many of us forget under layers of fear, fatigue, and old stories. Her path runs from a Soviet childhood where a ballerina's dream was dismissed, through years of illness and an eventual cancer diagnosis, to a profound reconnection with the quiet voice that first said: Do not be scared.We explore what it means to treat consciousness as practical—how you think, feel, and act today—not an abstract ideal. Diana draws a clean line between religion and a personal spiritual connection anchored in the heart. She frames midlife as a powerful crossing for women, a time to shift from pushing to flowing, from seeking external permission to trusting inner light. The conversation moves from philosophy to practice: a simple daily heart ritual, the subtle signals the body sends, and how small moments of presence can restore clarity, courage, and ease.Diana shares the tools she built to make the path real: An online programme designed to peel back the layers that hide our inner brilliance, and two books—one a roadmap from rough to flawless, the other a collection of spiritual poems that cut through noise with feeling. We talk about community, mentorship across generations, and a belief that personal transformation scales to cultural change. When one diamond shines, the crown brightens.Ready to meet your own guiding light?

The book of Acts is the narrative of the work of the Spirit among the first century believers when the Kingdom of God expanded from one ethnic group to many. This moment in Church History established the pattern for how God equips and empowers His people to be His witnesses in such a way that engages the culture for its redemption and restoration.

Many people find themselves in roles that look great on paper but feel misaligned or unfulfilling in reality. In this week's episode I'm joined by Angela Rixon, founder of The Centre for Meaningful Work and author of Meaning Over Purpose to explore what meaningful work really is, why so many of us lack it, and how both individuals and leaders can create more meaning at work day-to-day. Angela shares the five pillars of meaningful work—from autonomy to impact—and we dive into simple, practical steps you can take if you've fallen out of love with your role. We also look at the powerful role managers play in helping others find meaning, and how meaning can protect us from burnout when it's balanced in a healthy way. We talk about: • What meaning is and how it differs from purpose • The five pillars of meaningful work • Practical ways to create more meaning in your current role • How leaders can build meaning within their teams • Why meaning boosts engagement—and how it can sometimes lead to burnout • A powerful real-life example of how autonomy transformed performance This is Influence & Impact for Leaders, the podcast that helps leaders like you increase your impact and build a happy and high performing team.

In Part 2 of our series on intellectualls, Daniel Tutt returns to talk Bourdieu. Start with the feeling that “merit” is natural and fair—and then watch it fall apart. We take Pierre Bourdieu's sharpest tools—habitus, field, cultural capital, symbolic power—and use them to expose how universities, media, and taste quietly reproduce class while insisting it's all about talent. From Homo Academicus to Distinction to the Algeria studies, we clear up the biggest misconceptions: cultural capital is more than style, symbolic violence is more than rude behavior, and habitus is embodied history adapting to shifting fields.Our conversation travels through the crisis of the scholarly habitus—leisure packaged as labor, prestige buffered by adjunct exploitation—and the awkward truth that DEI can deepen stratification when it diverts resources and legitimizes existing hierarchies. We connect Bourdieu's hysteresis to today's culture wars: fields change fast, bodies adapt slow, and the resulting frustration feeds irrationalism. His study of Heidegger becomes a cautionary tale about stalled elites and seductive anti‑rational philosophies. Meanwhile the working class loses a stable habitus in a gigged‑out economy, making organizing harder and resentment easier to weaponize.We balance Bourdieu with a Marxist insistence on production and power. The best use of his map is practical: reveal the hidden rules, rebuild class independence, and design para‑academic and organizing projects that out‑perform the academy on rigor and relevance. Expect clear definitions, concrete examples, and straight talk on credentialism, elite infighting dressed as populism, and why making class legible again is the first step toward changing material life. If you've ever felt the system deny its own history while sorting your future, this conversation will give you language—and a plan—to push back.If this resonates, follow the show, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review with the sharpest insight you took away.

As the new year begins, many of us start thinking about fresh starts. This episode of Career Can Do leans into what renewal actually looks like. Mary Ann is joined by Monnica Rose, Board President of Women of Visionary Influence, for a warm, thoughtful conversation about purpose, connection, and growing with intention rather than pressure. Monnica talks about how a true fresh start is not about becoming a brand-new version of yourself. It is about giving yourself space to grow, building confidence, and being deliberate about your personal development. She shares how WOVI supports that process by creating a place where women can pause, reflect, and learn from one another through mentoring, which she describes as the heartbeat of the organization. A big theme throughout the episode is connection. Monnica explains that renewed purpose is almost always rooted in relationships and community, reminding us that “no one does life alone.” Whether it is learning from someone who has already walked the path or being brave enough to ask for support, those connections help purpose take root and keep it moving forward. They also dive into career growth and what it really takes to stand out. Monnica encourages women to stop chasing perfection and instead focus on being visible, speaking up, and showing up as their authentic selves. Distinction, she says, comes from service and honesty, not from getting everything exactly right.
