Welcome to Tax Tuesday with Anthony Wolfenden from Positive Tax Solutions.This week, we unpack the latest version of Div 296 — the proposed new superannuation tax that has been reintroduced to Parliament for the third time under the “Building a Stronger and Fairer Super System” reforms.Often dubbed the “Voldemort Tax,” Div 296 has undergone major changes since its original 2023 proposal. In this episode, we break down what's changed, what's improved, and what high-balance super holders must do next.What Is Div 296?Div 296 introduces an additional tax on individuals with total super balances above $3 million.Under the revised proposal:• Balances between $3M and $10MAn additional 15% tax on earnings above the thresholdTaking the effective rate to 30%• Balances above $10MAn additional 20% tax on earnings above that thresholdTaking the effective rate to 40%Importantly, this tax is proportional — it only applies to the portion of earnings above the relevant threshold.The Three Major Fixes in the New BillAnthony explains how the updated version addresses three critical flaws from the original draft:1. No More Retrospective TaxationA cost-base reset allows SMSFs to revalue assets to market value as of 30 June 2026 — creating a clear “line in the sand.”2. No Tax on Unrealised GainsThe revised version removes the controversial tax on unrealised capital gains. Now, capital gains tax only applies when assets are actually sold.3. Indexation AddedThe $3M and $10M thresholds will now be indexed to inflation — reducing the risk of inflation dragging more Australians into the regime over time.Why 30 June 2026 Is CriticalIf you have an SMSF or a super balance approaching $3 million, 30 June 2026 is one of the most important dates on your financial calendar.Before that date, you should:• Obtain accurate, evidence-based market valuations of all SMSF assets• Ensure your cost base is correctly reset• Review whether restructuring or rebalancing is required• Consider contribution splitting or spouse strategies where applicableYour valuation is your shield. It determines how future capital gains are calculated under the new rulesWho Is Driving This?The reforms are being introduced by the Australian Government and regulated through the Australian Taxation Office, which oversees compliance within superannuation.Who Should Pay Attention?• Individuals with balances near or above $3M• SMSF trustees• Investors in pension phase with high balances• High-income earners planning long-term super growthFor most Australians, this tax won't apply. But for those nearing the threshold, proactive planning is essential.Final TakeawayThe bill is significantly improved from its original form — but it still introduces a meaningful shift in how large super balances are taxed.If you're close to the threshold, now is the time to:• Speak with your accountant• Review your SMSF valuations• Model future growth• Consider strategic adjustments before the deadlineBecause while having $3 million in super is a great problem to have — paying unnecessary tax on it isn't.Catch you next Tax Tuesday.

For part 10 of 12 on “What is the Nicene Creed?” we unpack this lines:"We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church."... which can feel strange, or outright ironic, when you are in a church that doesn't get along with ... the church across the street. How can we proclaim we are ONE church when Christianity is so obviously divided? How could the church 1700 years ago claim this, when division goes back to James and John vying to sit at the right hand of Jesus when he came into glory? We bring in scholar and priest, The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey, to speak with us and muddle through what it means to (1) be a church in the tradition of the apostles and (2) aspire for such holy unity. The Rev. Dr. Valerie Bailey Fisher The Rev.

     The spiritual life cannot be fully understood or lived until the believer grasps the distinction between positional truth and experiential truth. Learning God's Word is always the starting point for the Christian way of life (1 Pet 2:2; 2 Tim 3:16–17). Until the believer orients to what God has already accomplished at initial salvation, he cannot discern what God now expects in fellowship (Rom 6:3–11). Confusion or neglect of Scripture inevitably drives the Christian into legalism, emotionalism, ritualism, activism, or frustration (Col 2:8, 20–23; Gal 3:1–3). Bible doctrine learned and applied provides the foundation for executing the spiritual life (Rom 12:2; Jam 1:22). God's riches for the believer include both positional and experiential blessings, and the former establishes the ground on which the latter are enjoyed (Eph 1:3; Col 2:6–7).

In this second episode of a two-part series, (for part 1 click here) we explore The Chicago Statement on Biblical Inerrancy, a concise and influential 1,700‑word confession that articulates the historic Christian understanding of Scripture as God's authoritative and trustworthy revelation.Within Wesleyan circles, many have never encountered this document directly. After noticing this gap, and the blank stares I often get when referencing it, I decided it was time to devote two episodes to simply reading the statement and offering accessible commentary.To guide the conversation, I'm joined by Dr. Matt O'Reilly, who has appeared on the podcast multiple times over the last five years.

Send a textREPRISE - Ken welcomes pastor, historian, and special advisor to the President at Baylor University, Dr. Malcolm Foley. Just this month, his new book - The Anti-Greed Gospel: Why the Love of Money Is the Root of Racism and How the Church Can Create a New Way Forward - has just been released. Dr. Foley shares something of his faith and spiritual journey. As an undergraduate at Washington University in St. Louis, he majored in Finance and the Classics. After earning an M. Div. at Yale Divinity School, he completed his Ph.D. at Baylor. His dissertation focussed on the history of lynching in America, and the responses of African American Protestants to the horror of it all. Ken and Malcolm unpack the thesis of his new book: that racism is rooted in greed. They talk about his concept of racialized capitalism, the dominance of white supremacy, the witness of the “Church Fathers” and the biblical passages that deal with greed and wealth. In the 1987 movie Wall Street, Gordon Gekko (played by Michael Douglas) declares, “Greed is good!” Dr. Foley disagrees. He takes a deep dive into the reality of lynching and the use of violence and terror to subjugate black folks. It's a hard look at history. They talk about Malcolm's heroes in the movement: Martin Luther King, Malcolm X (for whom he was named), and Ida B. Wells among many others. Toward the end of their lively conversation, Ken asks Dr. Foley about the current weaponization of phrases like DEI, Woke, and CRT which do not appear in the book. Don't miss Malcolm's response. SHOW NOTES (see links to the book and more about Dr. Foley)Support the showBecome a Patron - Click on the link to learn how you can become a Patron of the show.

Televize Nova řeší, jak naložit s víkendovou debatou Za pět minut dvanáct. Poté, co se neprosadila v neděli, přišel přesun na sobotu. Teď mění moderátora. „Koho jiného do prvního dílu než Andreje Babiše, “ říká nová tvář pořadu Bára Divišová.Původně nedělní debatu Nova spustila v říjnu 2023 s moderátorem Martinem Čermákem. Kvůli velké konkurenci Otázek Václava Moravce na ČT i Partie Terezie Tománkové na Primě, ale televize pořad přesunula na sobotu. Debatu navíc v pátek předtáčí, aby usnadnila zvaní atraktivních hostů.„Ten pořad měl možná velké ambice, ale naskočil do hodně konkurenčního prostředí. Když se ani nebudeme soustředit na sledovanost, tak jsme tam hrozně bojovali o hosty. Tři diskuze na neděli v jeden čas to si myslím, že už je moc. Tak jsme ustoupili na sobotu,“ vysvětluje Bára Divišová, která byla hostem podcastu Mediální cirkus.Ze Střepin do debatyDivišová, která na Nově pracuje už 18 let a v poslední době byla spojená především s pořadem Střepiny nebo Napřímo, se stala novou moderátorkou debaty Za pět minut dvanáct v únoru. Jako prvního hosta si do studia pozvala premiéra Andreje Babiše z hnutí ANO.„Nedávno jsme měli na rozhovoru pana prezidenta, takže jsem si říkala, koho jiného do prvního dílu než Andreje Babiše. Až potom mi došlo, co jsem si na sebe zase ušila,“ popisuje Divišová, která patří mezi pár novinářů, s nimiž Andrej Babiš mluví.„My se známe dlouho. Jednou, někdy v roce 2015, jsem měla s Andrejem Babišem živý vstup do poledních Televizních novin. A on si přinesl pokladničku a mluvil asi sedm minut. Kolegyně Emma Smetana mě za to tehdy strašně kritizovala. Po vstupu jsem Babišovi říkala: ‚Co to mělo být?‘ A on se začal hrozně smát. Ale od té doby si pamatoval, jak se jmenuji,“ vzpomíná Divišová v Mediálním cirkusu na vysílání, ve kterém Babiš vysvětloval elektronickou evidenci tržeb.Exkluzivní prostor dostala Divišová i krátce po loňských sněmovních volbách, když k ní Andrej Babiš přišel na rozhovor tehdy ještě na TN.cz a přinesl s sebou návrh programového prohlášení vlády ANO, SPD a Motoristů. Ten moderátorce ve vysílání i předal. „Kdybych to věděla, tak bych se na to lépe připravila. Kolegové si ze mě dělali legraci, že jsem ho normálně přitlačila, aby mi to dal. Že jsem mu řekla: ‚To mi dáte!‘ Já jsem to řekla, ale na konci věty byl otazník. Ale nečekala jsem to. Kdybych to čekala, tak ten rozhovor povedu trošku jinak. Ale Andrej Babiš takové nečekané věci rád dělá,“ říká novinářka.Babiše umí naštvat každýSama říká, že jí diváci občas vztahy s Babišem předhazují, třeba na sociálních sítích, což ji mrzí.„Diváci spekulují, proč to tak je, že tady nedostane otázky na tělo, že jsem k němu servilní, že má nějaké výhody. Ale na moji obranu - on takhle mluví i s některými dalšími novináři. Na plénu mluví třeba o Petru Vaškovi z České televize. Petr za ním může přijet pro vyjádření, odepíše mu na esemesku. Tak snad doufám, že když dám tyhle dva příklady vedle sebe, že mě lidé nebudou tolik obviňovat,“ říká Divišová a pokračuje:„Andreje Babiše umí naštvat každý. To není mým cílem. Chci z toho člověka dostat informace, hlavně ve chvíli, kdy těch informací má ze svého postu dost. My spolu nesouhlasíme, i se pohádáme, ale smějeme se u toho, je to taková výměna názorů. Na někoho je lepší takový ten sofistikovaný postup, že potom sám na sebe řekne všechno.“Jak se vyrábí zpravodajství pro Novu? Jak zábavné je dělat Střepiny?

Smith draws on his background in theology and martial arts to frame public discourse as sparring — pushing ideas hard while still treating the other person as a training partner rather than an enemy.The conversation moves across church culture, political polarization, and the habits that shape how we disagree. We discuss how identity gets tied to ideology, why online spaces intensify conflict, and what it looks like to challenge ideas without dehumanizing people. Smith also shares how his ministry works to form Christians who can think critically, hold convictions, and stay grounded in real-world relationships.Throughout the episode, the focus stays on discipline — intellectual, spiritual, and relational. The goal isn't to eliminate disagreement. It's to handle it in a way that sharpens understanding instead of tearing people apart. Disciple Dojo YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@UCMEea4p5qqTlpDrp3vl9G3A Guest Bio James Michael Smith is the founder of Disciple Dojo, a discipleship and Bible-training ministry that equips Christians to think clearly and engage culture with integrity.

Together, we walk through the text, highlight its insights, and consider why Wesleyans should be familiar with this important articulation of inerrancy.In this episode:Why the Chicago Statement remains influentialHow it reflects the classical Christian approach to ScriptureWhy Wesleyans benefit from engaging itGuided reading + theological commentaryHow inerrancy fits within a broader doctrine of revelationStay tuned for Part 2 in the next episode.Youtube - https://youtu.be/Lo0cjMoKBcUAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

Derek Rishmawy and Alastair Roberts host Jake Meador for a wide-ranging conversation on why evangelical institutions struggle with leadership transitions and long-term succession. They explore how evangelicalism's emphasis on discontinuity, charismatic personality-driven leadership, and brand-over-institution thinking undermines durability. The discussion touches on the boomer generational bottleneck, the producer-consumer framework shaped by technology, and what healthier models—like RTS or long-tenured churches—might teach us about building things that outlast their founders. — Mere Fidelity is a podcast from Mere Orthodoxy and is listener-supported.

What if the future of the church isn't found in choosing between old and new—but in learning how both can flourish together? In this episode, Loren is joined by Dwight Zscheile and Blair Pogue for a wide-ranging conversation about their book, Embracing the Mixed Ecology, and what it means to form Christian communities in a changing world. Drawing on their experience in congregational leadership, theological education, and diocesan innovation, Dwight and Blair make the case for a mixed ecology of church—where inherited congregations, new communities, fresh expressions, digital ministry, and lay-led initiatives work together to embody the gospel. Rather than dismissing institutions or chasing quick fixes, the conversation emphasizes discipleship, listening to neighbors, and adapting church forms without abandoning the substance of the faith. The episode also explores why activism alone cannot sustain Christian identity, how polarization distorts formation, and why the church must recover practices that shape people into a distinct way of life centered on Jesus.   Topics Include What a “mixed ecology” of church actually means Why inherited churches still matter—and where they fall short Fresh expressions, microchurches, and lay-led ministry Discipleship vs. political or cultural substitutes for faith Listening as the starting point for mission Digital ministry as doorway, not replacement When and how churches may need to end faithfully The Rev. Dwight Zscheile, Ph.D. is professor of congregational mission and leadership at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He is author of Embracing the Mixed Ecology: Inherited and New Forms of Christian Community Flourishing Together (with Blair Pogue, Seabury Books 2025), Leading Faithful Innovation: Following God into a Hopeful Future (with Michael Binder and Tessa Pinkstaff, Fortress, 2023), Participating in God's Mission: A Theological Missiology for the Church in America (with Craig Van Gelder, Eerdmans, 2018), The Agile Church: Spirit-Led Innovation in an Uncertain Age (Morehouse Publishing, 2014), People of the Way: Renewing Episcopal Identity (Morehouse Publishing, 2012) and The Missional Church in Perspective: Mapping Trends and Shaping the Conversation (with Craig Van Gelder, Baker Academic 2011), editor of Cultivating Sent Communities: Missional Spiritual Formation (Eerdmans, 2012) and co-editor (with Ed Olsworth-Peter) of The Starter's Way: Leading New Contextual Christian Communities (Church Publishing, 2025). A graduate of Stanford University (BA), Yale University (MDiv) and Luther Seminary (PhD, Congregational Mission and Leadership), he has served congregations in Minnesota and Virginia. Dwight's experience growing up in a secular home in California has shaped his commitment to helping the church cultivate Christian community with neighbors in today's changing world. The Rev. Canon Blair Pogue is the Canon for Innovation for the Episcopal Church in Minnesota. In that capacity she helps congregations all over the state go deeper in their practice of the Christian faith and rethink how they form disciples and engage the communities surrounding their church. She also runs learning communities for Episcopalians wanting to learn how to form Christian community with neighbors where they live, work, and play. Before joining Bishop Craig Loya's staff she was the rector of St. Matthew's Episcopal Church in St. Paul for 16 ½ years, and before that she served two churches in the Diocese of Virginia, with a special focus on Christian formation. She is a graduate of Luther Seminary (D.Min in Congregational Mission and Leadership), Yale Divinity School (M.Div), and Whitman College (B.A.).   Mentioned Resources:

In this podcast, Dr. Chris Lohrstorfer joins me to unpack a frequent misunderstanding in Wesleyan theology: the idea that we simply “have a free will” in the doctrine of salvation.John Wesley and the Methodist tradition do affirm human responsibility and the ability to respond to God—but not through an inherent, independent free will untouched by sin. Instead, Wesley emphasized that sin binds the human will, rendering us unable to turn to God on our own. This is where prevenient grace comes in: God's initiating, enabling grace that goes before us, restoring a measure of freedom so we can graciously respond to His work in Christ.Chris and I walk through this doctrine carefully, aiming to bring clarity to what it truly means to have a grace-enabled response to God's actions on our behalf through the person of Jesus. We address the common error of overemphasizing “free will” without anchoring it in divine grace, and explore how this fits into the broader Wesleyan understanding of salvation.Whether you're exploring Arminian theology, wrestling with questions of predestination and choice, or simply want a clearer picture of Methodist beliefs on freedom and grace, this episode offers thoughtful, biblically grounded insight.I think you'll enjoy this one—tune in for a clarifying discussion on one of the most debated topics in soteriology!Youtube - https://youtu.be/WkN-wqTUTcEAudio - https://andymilleriii.com/media/podcastApple -  https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-to-the-story-with-dr-andy-miller/id1569988895?uo=4If you are interested in learning more about my two full-length video-accompanied courses, Contender: Going Deeper in the Book of Jude andHeaven and Other Destinations: A Biblical Journey Beyond this World , visit andymilleriii.com/coursesAnd don't forget about my most recent book, Contender, which is available on Amazon! Five Steps to Deeper Teaching and Preaching - Recently, I updated this PDF document and added a 45-minute teaching video with slides, explaining this tool.

CELÝ ZÁZNAM STUDIA N LIVE A VŠECHNY OSTATNÍ EPIZODY V PLNÉ VERZI NAJDETE NA HEROHERO.CO/STUDION Film může uklidňovat, ale také otevřít místa, na která nejsme připraveni. Ve Studiu N mluví Filip Titlbach s filmovým historikem a uměleckým šéfem karlovarského filmového festivalu Karlem Ochem o snímku Citová hodnota, o síle emocí v kině a o tom, proč jsou některé filmy přitažlivé právě tím, že z nich máme obavy. Film Citová hodnota režiséra Joachima Triera se stal jedním z nejdiskutovanějších evropských snímků – a to nejen kvůli devíti oscarovým nominacím nebo triumfu na Evropských filmových cenách. „Já si na Trierovi už od jeho mládí vážím jisté zralosti a moudrosti, se kterými přistupuje ke svým postavám. Snaží se být chápavý a celé je to obestřené velmi hustou melancholií,“ popsal na živém natáčení Studia N v pražském kině Přítomnost Och. Filmy rozděluje na ty, kterým věří, a na ty, které mu připadají vycucané z prstu. „Citová hodnota je film, který patří do té první kategorie. Trier tvoří neuvěřitelně komplexní mikrosvět vztahů, melancholie a věrohodných emocí, že se do něj vždycky rád nořím. Někdy z toho mám ale trochu obavy, protože při sledování jeho filmů prožívám velmi silné emoce. Je to přitažlivost a obava zároveň,“ říká. Někdy lidé podle něj prožívají ještě silnější emoce, když se na film dívají podruhé. Diváci a divačky by se podle filmového historika měli rozmýšlet, jestli na určité druhy filmů mají zrovna kapacitu. Film totiž může léčit i zraňovat. Hranice mezi tím, kdy kino pomáhá a kdy už ubližuje, je podle Ocha u každého jinde a souvisí s tím, co si do sálu neseme ze svého vlastního života. „Stalo se mi, že jsem z jednoho filmu odešel už po deseti minutách, protože se v něm odehrávalo něco, co jsem intenzivně prožíval. Představa, že se dívám na zkondenzovanou verzi téhož pro mě byla absolutně fyzicky nepřijatelná,“ přiznává. I proto je někdy legitimní z kina odejít. Ne proto, že by film selhal, ale protože se trefil až příliš přesně. „Je to lepší možnost než se u toho trápit,“ říká. Zažívá Joachim Trier svých warholovských patnáct minut slávy?

Fool: Identifying and Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome by Garry D. Nation Seriouschristian.org https://www.amazon.com/Fool-Identifying-Overcoming-Character-Deficiency/dp/1629024627 Practical wisdom…in today’s less than ethical business climate-deep, thought-provoking, and entertaining. Phil Eubanks Corporate Ethics Compliance Professional Garry is a pastor and scholar with a passion for Christ, an innovative spirit, and an open heart. I have read his work with spiritual profit. Now it’s your turn to benefit: the Bible tells us that ‘wisdom is too high for fools’ (Prov 24:7). Find out for yourself and read this book. Professor Andrew Walker King’s College, London The question of ethical character (and its deficiency) has become a matter of lively public discussion in recent years and promises to be so for a long time to come-in private life, in politics, in business, in society. While the world tries to figure out how to restore character, it will not find better guidance than we already have in the Bible. Fool: Identifying and Overcoming Character Deficiency Syndrome is a forensic, worldview-conscious study of the fool and folly as depicted in the Bible, especially in the Book of Proverbs. The message of author Garry D. Nation is that character deficiency (folly) is a vicious, predictable, downward spiral of destructive personal choices. Moral upbringing and ethics training may interrupt and temper it, but God’s grace alone can cure it. Sometimes humorous, sometimes exasperating, sometimes tragic, but always engaging, Fool uncovers surprising insights into what makes us all tick. About the author Garry D. Nation is an author, minister, scholar, educator, and speaker. He holds the B.A. magna cum laude from Oklahoma Baptist University(1975), the M.Div. (1978), and the Ph.D. (1990) from Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary. He is a Fellow of the Oxford Society of Scholars and is a full member of the Evangelical Theological Society. His articles have been published in Christianity Today, the Mid-America Theological Journal, and the Journal for the American Academy of Ministry. Garry is also a versatile actor, singer, and perfomer. He has appeared onstage, often playing biblical characters ranging from Mordecai (Esther: For Such a Time as This) to Simon Peter (The Promise). More recently he has played lead roles in independent films such as Polycarp, Indescribable, and My Grandpa Detective.

HEY! We encourage you to listen to this show as part of the "Happy Hour with John Gaskins" daily podcast, which you can find at SiouxFallsLive.com, and most podcast platforms like the one you find here! So, if you enjoy the topics Matt & John cover, you'll get those topics, plus relevant local guests, every Monday through Thursday on Happy Hour... so we highly recommend you check that out!What could possibly be a bigger local sports story than South Dakota State All-America offensive lineman Quentin Christensen turning down a $1 million NIL offer from an SEC school recently?  Not much, but the SDSU women's basketball team losing a Summit League regular season basketball game for the first time in 68 contests — which spans nearly four calendar years — was quite a whopper over the weekend. Those were two of the main topics in a 75-minute weekly "Nobody's Listening Anyway" podcast on Happy Hour with Matt Zimmer on Monday. Zimmer confirmed with confidence in his sources that Christensen joins fellow South Dakota native Chase Mason as Jackrabbits who turned down seven-figure NIL offers. This comes three days after the two week portal window closed for players to declare their free agency. SDSU head coach Dan Jackson will join Happy Hour on Wednesday to remark on that, plus the Jacks' top portal additions (many from Div. II) and, as importantly, lack of portal losses this season.  Meanwhile, North Dakota State finally became the first team to beat the Jackrabbit women since USD took down SDSU twice in 2022 — in a Feb. 5 regular season game and again in the Summit League tournament championship game on March 8.  This means the Bison ended a 54-game overall streak for the Jacks against conference opponents. So why was Saturday the day? How did NDSU pull this off on the Jacks' home court? And what does this mean for SDSU and the rest of the league for the rest of the season, now that (at least for a game) the walls have cracked? Zim has answers and also explains why he feels the SDSU men will still be a threat in Sioux Falls in March despite a 10-10 record and 3-2 league mark that includes last Wednesday's loss to first place and still undefeated-in-conference NDSU. Part of the chat about the two Bison basketball wins was the large and palpable crowds in both Brookings and Fargo for the showdowns with the Jacks.  This led to a larger discussion about declining attendance the last several years at local and regional college basketball games in general. Well, except at SDSU (for the most part). Zim and the host pick apart why not as many people go to games despite plenty of the Div. I and Div. II teams in the Dakotas being consistently decent-to-great. The pod's plane lands in Minneapolis with a word about the Minnesota Vikings and how they didn't fit into the playoff picture in a year when things were far more ripe-for-the-taking than most.

In the final installment of this series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Divyanshu Dubey discuss the latest findings and some non-occupational exposures.  Show citation:  Hinson SR, Gupta P, Paramasivan NK, et al. Neural synaptic vesicle autoimmunity following aerosolized porcine neural tissue exposure: insights into autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. EBioMedicine. 2025;122:106053. doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.106053 Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemarco:  Hello, and welcome back. This is Justin Abbatemarco. I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey, discussing his article, Neural Synaptic Vesicle Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insights Into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradiculoneuropathy. Div, maybe we could talk about non-occupational exposures? I think many of us don't see this cohort of patients commonly, but I really think this helps inform care, beyond just this specific occupational exposure. What did you guys find in your work? Dr. Divyanshu Dubey:  So, one of the inspirations for this study was driven by the phenotypic characterization of patients who were described in this 2010 paper, which is somewhat similar to some of the patients I currently see in my clinic who don't seem to meet GBS or CIDP criteria. But, based on their MRI findings, based on their CSF studies, the EMG nerve conduction studies, they seem to have this polyradiculoneuropathy presentation, often presenting with asymmetric disease onsets, starting on one leg and then sometimes transitioning to the other side. In some cases, even a non-length dependent pattern with sort of proximal cervical brachial nerve root plexus involvements, which don't really seem to have a blood test, or a biomarker right now. Currently, many of these cases are a diagnosis of exclusion. I was thinking if there's a biomarker that we can identify from this 2006 to 2008 unfortunate event, that might actually help us diagnose these patients. So, once we identified synaptophysin and GAP43 antibodies in the swine abattoir cohort, I went back to our storages of these patients with other inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy, and found about 5% of these patients from a large cohort of close to 300 patients, did have these antibody biomarkers. Some of these patients had paraneoplastic trigger, where we had patients with neuroendocrine tumors, or hematological malignancies mounting a response to these antibodies. But a good chunk of these patients we did not truly understand, or know what the triggers were. That might be a potential for future studies, as we expand our cohort of these antibodies, as well as study further the phenotypic characterization of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemarco: Yeah, there's just so much there, really helping to inform future clinical care outside of this very specific occupational exposure. And then, as we talked about in the podcast, I think really helping to think through how neurological autoimmune diseases develop. So, just really exciting work. We really appreciate you coming on, sharing this. We're excited for how this evolves over the coming years. Dr. Divyanshu Dubey:  Thank you, Justin.

In part one of this two-part series, Dr. Justin Abbatemarco and Dr. Divyanshu Dubey discuss the original patient cohort with occupational exposure, what motivated this line of research, and the key findings from the initial workup.  Show citation:  Hinson SR, Gupta P, Paramasivan NK, et al. Neural synaptic vesicle autoimmunity following aerosolized porcine neural tissue exposure: insights into autoimmune inflammatory polyradiculoneuropathy. EBioMedicine. 2025;122:106053. doi:10.1016/j.ebiom.2025.106053 Show transcript:  Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Hello and welcome. This is Justin Abbatemacro. And I'm here with Divyanshu Dubey to discuss his article published in eBiomedicine, Neurosynaptic Vessel Autoimmunity Following Aerosolized Porcine Neural Tissue Exposure: Insight into Autoimmune Inflammatory Polyradicular Neuropathy. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Div is a professor of neurology at the Mayo Clinic, and we just finished our interview, which I would encourage everyone to check out. Div, maybe we could talk about the original cohort with this occupational exposure, what inspired you to do this work and then what did you find with that initial workup? Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: As recounted in our paper, this story began in 2006 to 2008, when a group of swine abattoir workers developed a striking neurological syndrome. These people were previously healthy and suddenly developed severe neuropathic pain, tingling, and variable weakness. The localization stood out, these cases were initially identified by Dan Lachance, who characterized these patients having an autoimmune neuropathy, which was further phenotypically characterized by the work done by Dr. Dyck, calling these inflammatory polyradicular neuropathy based on their nerve root plexus and proximal nerve collisions. And interestingly, a lot of work done back then by Dr. Lennon showed these patients had a unique synaptic staining pattern suggesting there was an underlying antibody driving this disease process. So as I joined the neuroimmunology lab a few years ago, this was one of the areas I wanted to go back and study, not only to find this mystery biomarker which caused the disease in these patients, but also to try and understand how this can help. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Yeah. I think my takeaway is be curious, right? You hear the story, you see this pattern. Be curious and investigate, and it takes a team or a village to do it. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: 100%. So observation, communication between, as you said, a team or a village with like-minded, passionate individuals is one of the successes of many of our discoveries, not just this one in this biomarker space. Dr.  Divyanshu Dubey: So the technique we use for discovery of these biomarkers was called a phage display where we use the archive sera to test from these patients, the swine abattoir worker patients with autoimmune polyradicular neuropathy. And we ended up finding two dominant antigens, which was synaptophysin and GAP-43, which were present in majority of these cases. Dr. Justin Abbatemacro: Please come back and check out part two where we discuss the latest findings and maybe some non-occupational exposures. And check out the podcast. Thanks.

What happens when the need to appear competent becomes the very thing that disconnects us from others—and from ourselves? In this deeply honest and surprisingly funny conversation, Ian welcomes author, speaker, and Enneagram Three, Steve Cuss for a wide-ranging dialogue on anxiety, performance, false self, and the quiet freedom that comes with becoming more human-sized. Drawing from Steve's experience as a hospital chaplain, pastor, and leadership consultant, they explore why our most polished coping strategies often come from fear, how predictable patterns keep us stuck, and why anxiety is so contagious in families, churches, and organizations. Along the way, they unpack the Enneagram Three's drive to succeed, the exhaustion of self-presentation, the difference between ambition and authenticity, and why true maturity looks a lot like being relaxed—no masks required. Expect stories, laughs, hard-earned wisdom, and a refreshing reminder that you don't have to win the room to belong in it.
