Send us a textPeaches is back in the Ones Ready Team Room with another no-BS drop that'll make the Pentagon sweat. From the government shutdown that's starving paychecks to the beefy boys rolling off bread trucks in Chicago, this episode rips through every headline the brass wishes you'd ignore. Peaches calls out the “financially illiterate” lifestyle of troops living beyond their means, laughs at the Army Corps' endless postponements, and lights up DoD's hilariously outdated cybersecurity systems. Then it's on to the Marines flexing “maritime domain awareness” for an attaboy, the Air Force's missileer cancer scare, and the Space Force trying to sound cool with “hypersonic challenges.” Oh—and the Coast Guard Cutter Midgett (yes, really) returns from busting drug runners like it's the sequel to Narcos. Top it off with Peaches' unfiltered rant on false IG complaints, whistleblowers, and accountability. The episode ends with updates on the sold-out Nashville Operator Training Summit and a sneak peek at the next Vegas OTS—because rest is for civilians.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Hydration, Hoist, and Old Man Midnight Sips 02:30 – The Shutdown Circus: Paychecks, WIC, and Why You're Broke 04:50 – Fat Troops and Bread Trucks in Chicago 07:15 – Cybersecurity Theater: Outdated Systems and Cheesy Training 09:25 – Marines Celebrate “Maritime Domain Awareness” (Whatever That Means) 11:50 – Missileers, Cancer, and the HunterSeven Lifeline 13:10 – Tac-P Documentary: Filthy Legends, Must-Watch History 14:15 – Inspector General Reform: Bye-Bye Anonymous Whiners 17:00 – Presidential Directives, Bureaucratic Chaos, and Infrastructure BS 18:50 – Nashville OTS Recap + Sneak Peek: Vegas Summit Locked In
Send us a textThe Ones Ready Team Room is back and Peaches isn't pulling punches. From the DoD's latest Inspector General “reforms” (translation: no more hiding behind fake complaints) to the U.S. getting embarrassed in the Arctic—this one's got everything: cartel strikes, gender-standard meltdowns, government shutdown chaos, and a little unsolicited love for Aussie warfighters.Peaches dives headfirst into the week's wildest military moves, from Trump's National Guard orders to the Pentagon's plan to polygraph everyone short of the janitor. He also breaks down why the Coast Guard has three icebreakers while Russia flexes forty-one, why “equal standards” means stop crying about pull-ups, and how false accusations destroy careers faster than TikTok destroys attention spans.It's brash. It's brutally honest. And it's the only sitrep you'll actually enjoy listening to.

CMMC is officially here. The DoD finalized the DFARS rule on September 10, with CMMC clauses eligible in solicitations by November 10 and a three-year phase-in through November 10, 2028. We break down Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3, the 180-day conditional grace period, prime flowdowns, and COTS exemptions. The headline: Level 2 can be a self-assessment on some programs, dramatically lowering cost and keeping more small and mid-sized firms in the game. We also cover smart “ghosting” moves to right-size requirements during pre-acquisition and Q&A, plus examples of where Level 2 self-assessment may be appropriate.

Jon Herold dives into day two of the government shutdown, unpacking the fight over Democrat demands for expanded Obamacare subsidies and health benefits for non-citizens. He highlights Trump's meeting with Russ Vought and the unprecedented opportunity to slash bloated federal agencies during the shutdown, tying it back to Trump's past remarks on fraud and the need for an “unprecedented cure.” The episode also explores a newly issued DoD directive on irregular warfare, connecting it to information ops and Trump's acknowledgment of domestic psyops. From Kash Patel ending FBI partnerships with the ADL to billions in climate and DEI funding being cut, Walmart dropping synthetic dyes, and even the Pope blessing ice at a climate conference, Herold blends sharp analysis with pointed humor. Updates on crypto, Fed rate cuts, and the reopening of questions about Andrew Weissman round out a packed show that exposes the deep state's games and Trump's counterpunches.

He shares his long journey with weight loss and how intermittent fasting transformed his life, helping him lose 60+ pounds, from a high of 265 pounds. Through various trials with different diet methods over the years and even medical prescriptions, James has found intermittent fasting to be the key to achieving his health goals.James delves deep into how he first encountered intermittent fasting over a decade ago. Initially skeptical, his real transformation began around seven to eight years ago when traditional calorie counting and diet attempts failed to yield lasting results. This led him to explore intermittent fasting more seriously. His thorough research into the health benefits related to autophagy, neuroplasticity, and overall metabolic health convinced him to adopt this lifestyle.Throughout James's discussion, he highlights significant improvements in his health metrics, such as reducing his blood pressure and BMI, as well as the challenges he faced from skeptical family members and friends.

He prefers natural and wholesome meals, and keeps his window flexible while also remaining consistent. His success story serves as an inspiration for those facing similar opposition in their health journeys.James's advice for those starting with intermittent fasting is to know your 'why.' Understanding the personal reasons and health goals behind adopting intermittent fasting is crucial for staying committed.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com We are recording this at the Air Force Air, Space, & Cyber Conference. During the second day of the conference, General B. Chance Saltman, Chief of Space Operations at the Space Force, talked about a “focus on readiness.” Our guest, Rob Bocek from Virtualitics begins the interview by talking about the concept of readiness being applied to AI. In fact, Bocek recently did an in-depth discussion of this topic at a conference he led titled The Frontiers of AI for Readiness. Today, we combine some of the lessons learned from that gathering with some of the goals and aspirations that were given at presentations at this year's Air Force Air, Space, & Cyber Conference. In a wide-ranging interview, Bocek comments on topics like guardrails, leadership, procurement, and collaboration. GUARDRAILS Even the casual observer will notice that AI will have an impact on the DoD. However, the DoD deals with life and death decisions daily and cannot be subject to data poisoning and LLM attacks. During the interview, Bocek commented on implementing guardrails when experimenting with AI. LEADERSHIP In the corporate world, leaders will justify a blind jump into AI with assertions like, “if they don't jump in, their competitors will.” The DoD deals with much more than a profit and loss statement. Military leaders must step up with understanding the positives and negatives of AI, and lead technology experts into correct implementations. PROCUREMENT When General B. Chance Saltman was presenting nobody in the audience thought he would include acquisition reform as one of his three main points. He reinforced the concept of living in a contested world where adversaries can adapt quickly, and the American military cannot be held back by antiquated procurement processes. Listen to the podcast to get an idea of some of the solutions available for federal leaders trying to use AI in a responsible manner.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 1 Oktober 2025Bacaan: "Tetaplah berdoa." (1 Tes 5:17)Renungan: Alkitab telah mengajarkan prinsip bahwa seorang ayah juga berperan sebagai pendoa bagi kehidupan anak-anaknya. Alkitab mencatat bahwa Ayub senantiasa berdoa bagi anak-anaknya, "...keesokan harinya, pagi-pagi, bangunlah Ayub, lalu mempersembahkan korban bakaran sebanyak jumlah mereka sekalian, sebab pikirnya: 'Mungkin anak-anakku sudah berbuat dosa dan telah mengutuki Allah di dalam hati." Demikianlah dilakukan Ayub senantiasa (Ayb 1:5). Jadi tidak peduli apakah kita jarang mendapati pria sebagai sosok yang berdoa, tetapi jika firman Tuhan mencatat peran Ayub dalam berdoa, berarti Tuhan juga menghendaki setiap ayah bisa menjadi pendoa di dalam kehidupan bersama keluarganya. Ada keterbatasan seorang ayah untuk mengawasi penuh kehidupan anak-anaknya. Dengan berdoa seorang ayah telah menyerahkan pemeliharaan anak-anaknya ke dalam tangan Tuhan. Mari, para ayah, jadikanlah hidup anda sebagai pendoa dan wakil keluarga di hadapan Tuhan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, penuhilah para ayah dengan kuasa doa-Mu. Sehingga merekapun bisa menjadi wakil bagi keluarga mereka di hadapan-Mu. Jangan biarkan kesibukan mereka menyita waktunya untuk berkomunikasi dengan Engkau. Biarlah dengan kuasa doa-Mu, Engkau pun menguduskan hati, pikiran, perkataan dan pekerjaan para ayah, sehingga walau mereka jauh dengan keluarga karena jarak dan tugas pekerjaan mereka, mereka tetapi mempunyai hati yang takut akan Engkau. Tuhan Yesus, jadikanlah pada ayah sebagai prajurit-prajurit-Mu untuk menjadi benteng dan mengawal setiap pribadi dalam keluarga mereka agar keluarga mereka semakin dekat dengan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).
On today's Daily Windup, I dive into how certifications can be the catalyst for massive growth in government contracting. From real-world success stories like Sarah scaling her 8A business to $30M, Marcus building his SDVOSB to $25M, and Lisa cracking $40M through combined certifications, this episode reveals why credentials aren't just paper—they're profit multipliers. I also unpack why certifications like PMP, Agile, and Lean Six have become essential in today's government contracting landscape, with over 600,000 project management roles available and the DoD increasingly requiring PMP for leadership. Whether you're a veteran translating military skills or a contractor chasing scale, you'll learn how credibility and capability must align to win. Key topics covered: Real success stories of entrepreneurs scaling to $25M–$40M with certifications (8A, SDVOSB, and combined approaches). The rising necessity of professional certifications like PMP, Agile, and Lean Six in the government space. Why credibility, combined with capability and relatability, is critical for winning government contracts. Learn more: https://govcongiants.org/
Jon Herold opens the week with a deep dive into the looming government shutdown, breaking down Trump's negotiations with Congress, Republican infighting over ACA subsidies, and the DoD's contingency plans prioritizing border security and Middle East operations. He connects these developments to broader devolution themes, highlighting continuity of operations and Trump's strategy of using shutdowns as leverage to force real change. The episode also covers Trump's White House meeting with Netanyahu and the 21-point Gaza peace plan, along with speculation about signals tied to military aircraft sales. Jon examines the devastating LDS church shooting in Michigan, Rudy Giuliani's Dominion settlement, and new rulings against Mike Lindell, before turning to Oregon's lawsuit challenging Trump's National Guard deployment under Title 10. Other stories include China's ferry buildup for Taiwan, misleading narratives about drug prosecutions, and EA's massive $55 billion buyout led by Saudi funds and Jared Kushner. With sharp humor, first-principles thinking, and plenty of rug metaphors, Jon ties together shutdown brinkmanship, legal showdowns, and geopolitical maneuvering into one packed episode.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 30 September 2025Bacaan: "Alangkah sukarnya orang yang beruang masuk ke dalam Kerajaan Allah." (Lukas 18:24) Renungan: Banyak orang yang datang kepada Yesus dengan membawa kesedihan, namun mereka pulang dengan membawa sukacita. Tetapi apa yang terjadi pada orang muda yang kaya dalam Lukas 18:18-27 ini adalah sebaliknya, dia pulang dengan membawa kesedihan. Dia tidak bisa melepaskan hartanya yang banyak ketika Yesus menyuruhnya untuk menjualnya, membagikan pada orang miskin dan mengikuti Yesus agar dapat hidup yang kekal. Yesus tahu tidak ada cara lain bagi orang muda ini untuk bisa dekat dengan-Nya kecuali dengan meninggalkan hartanya. Karena apa yang ada pada hati dan pikiran orang muda itu hanyalah hartanya, artinya "tuhan" yang sebenarnya adalah hartanya. Maka, tanpa pusing-pusing berdebat dengan Yesus, diapun dengan sedih meninggalkan Yesus karena hatinya sudah melekat pada hartanya. Sangat disayangkan bahwa orang muda ini tidak menyadari bahwa kemudaan, jabatan, harta bukanlah kunci untuk mendapatkan kebahagiaan dan hidup kekal. Tetapi ketika kunci itu disodorkan kepadanya, yaitu meninggalkan segala kelekatannya pada harta duniawi dan mengikuti Yesus, dia justru menolaknya. Tidak ada yang salah untuk memiliki harta benda, yang salah adalah ketika hati seseorang terikat atau melekat kepada harta bendanya. Oleh sebab itu, mari kita gunakan harta benda yang kita miliki untuk mendekatkan diri kita kepada Tuhan dan bukan menghalanginya. Jangan sampai gara-gara harta benda itu, kita mengakhiri hidup dengan kekecewaan karena tidak sampai di Kerajaan Sorga. Tuhan memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, aku bersyukur atas harta duniawi yang Kau percayakan untuk aku miliki. Kuasai hatiku agar aku tidak melekat pada harta duniawi itu, dan tetap menjadikan Engkau sebagai yang nomor satu dalam hidupku sehingga biar harta duniawiku melimpah-limpah, tetapi hatiku tetap melekat pada-Mu. Amin. (Dod).
Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 29 September 2025Bacaan: "Tuhan di pihakku. Aku tidak akan takut. Apakah yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap aku?" (Mazmur 118:6) Renungan: "Tuhan di pihakku, Aku tidak akan takut!" Demikian seru Raja Daud dengan nyaring, bangga, dan yakin. Tulisannya dalam Mazmur 118 memberikan kekuatan yang mendalam bagi kita yang sering mengalami kegentaran di dalam meniti jalan kehidupan. Banyak kegagalan, kejahatan dan kemalangan yang mungkin menimpa kita, namun semua itu hanya akan menyerang kehidupan jasmani kita di bumi. Daud mengerti bahwa hal terburuk yang dapat dilakukan manusia terhadap dirinya adalah merenggut nyawanya. Ia yakin bahwa ia akan bertemu kembali dengan Tuhan di dalam kerajaan-Nya yang indah dan kekal. Apapun keadaan kita saat ini, asal kita hidup benar di hadapan Tuhan, maka Tuhan akan selalu ada di pihak kita. Kalau Tuhan ada di pihak kita, maka kita tidak perlu takut, karena Dia tahu apa yang harus dilakukan-Nya untuk menolong kita. Marilah kita mengandalkan Tuhan, karena orang yang mengandalkan Tuhan tidak akan pernah disia-siakan-Nya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, berilah aku kekuatan untuk dapat menjalani kehidupan ini. Berilah aku hati yang takut akan Engkau, sehingga walaupun keadaan dan pergumulan hidupku terasa berat, aku tetap ada di jalan-Mu dan punya pengharapan bahwa bersama dengan Engkau semuanya akan dapat kulalui dengan baik. Tuhan Yesus kutaruh keterbatasanku di dalam tangan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).
Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 28 September 2025Bacaan: "Jikalau kamu mengasihi Aku, kamu akan menuruti segala perintahku." (Yohanes 14:15) Renungan: Seorang ibu ketika sedang berjalan-jalan melihat seorang anak gadis cilik yang baru keluar dari gereja sendirian saja. Ketika anak itu lewat di depannya, si ibu itu bertanya kepadanya, "Dari mana nak?" Si anak menjawab, "Dari gereja." Si ibu bertanya lagi sambil tersenyum, "Untuk apa ke sana?" Si anak menjawab, "Berdoa." Karena menyangka bahwa anak itu mungkin sedang mempunyai masalah berat, ibu itu bertanya lagi, "Berdoa untuk keperluan apa sayang?" Lalu si anak menjawab, "Tidak ada keperluan apa-apa. Saya berdoa karena saya mencintai Yesus kok." Apakah kita mencintai Yesus? Kalau kita mencintai Yesus, maka tidak ada alasan bagi kita untuk tidak berdoa. Kapasitas kecintaan kita pada Yesus dapat diukur saat kita berdoa, beribadah, membaca firman dan memuji Tuhan. Kalau kita selalu ingin cepat-cepat menyelesaikan doa, atau menganggap waktu satu setengah jam ibadah di gereja terlalu lama, maka hanya segitulah cinta kita pada Yesus. Pernahkah kita jatuh cinta pertama kali? Bukankah kita akan merasa bahwa waktu 2 jam itu terlalu cepat untuk kita lalui berdua dengan kekasih kita? Hal itu mau menunjukkan bahwa kita begitu mencintai kekasih kita. Tetapi ketika cinta kita mulai luntur, maka waktu 10 menit terlalu lama untuk kita lalui bersamanya. Mari kita bina lagi hubungan mesra dengan Yesus, agar perlahan-lahan cinta kita pada-Nya bertumbuh kembali. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa: Tuhan Yesus, aku mohon ampun kalau aku sering ingin cepat-cepat menyelesaikan jam doaku karena ada hal lain yang lebih penting aku lakukan. Aku juga mohon ampun karena aku sering memberikan waktu sisa untukmu dalam jam-jam doaku. Padahal aku sungguh membutuhkan Engkau dalam setiap desahan nafasku.

On today's Daily Windup, I'm revealing what it truly takes for small businesses to break into the supply chain of a major defense contractor like BAE Systems. With 17 years of insider experience, my guest explains why market research, industry days, and knowing the forecast are non-negotiable when 99% of contracts tie back to the DoD. We cut through the myths around teaming agreements and subcontracting plans, exposing why most fail—and how legacy small businesses thrive by coming prepared with research, mission alignment, and credibility. This episode is a playbook for showing up the right way, avoiding common pitfalls, and positioning your business to win in the defense sector. Key topics covered: Why research, industry days, and forecasts are essential to succeeding with primes like BAE Systems. The biggest pitfalls that keep small businesses out—weak introductions, lack of mission alignment, and poor preparation. How to leverage FPDS data, prove past performance, and align proposals with agency missions to break in. Learn more: https://govcongiants.org/
Host Rob Couture welcomes Congressman Derrick Van Orden of Wisconsin's 3rd District to the podcast. Van Orden is a retired Navy SEAL, VFW Life Member, chairman of the House VA Subcommittee on Economic Opportunity, and recent recipient of the VFW Life Saving Award. Van Orden reflects on his path from military service to Congress, the importance of veterans' voices in government, and his personal connection to the VFW dating back to his service in Bosnia. He shares how loss and hardship — including the passing of his daughter — shaped his sense of urgency in public service, and why mission-first leadership is essential to addressing the challenges facing America's veterans. The conversation highlights his first bill signed into law protecting veterans' home loans, bipartisan efforts to strengthen VA–DoD collaboration, and his advocacy for suicide prevention and smoother transitions for service members. Van Orden also recounts the powerful story of saving a young boy's life after a horrific car accident, underscoring the value veterans bring to their communities long after service. With humor, candor, and heartfelt storytelling — from his role in Act of Valor to his commitment to authenticity in Congress — Van Orden embodies the enduring spirit of service. This episode showcases how veterans continue to lead, protect, and serve their nation in every arena of life.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 27 September 2025Bacaan: "... Sekalipun dosamu merah seperti kirmizi, akan menjadi putih seperti salju, sekalipun berwarna merah seperti kain kesumba, akan menjadi putih seperti bulu domba." (Yesaya 1:18) Renungan: Suatu ketika seorang anak lelaki diculik di London. Tahun-tahun berlalu dan ibunya terus berdoa, tanpa kehilangan harapan. Suatu hari seorang pemuda tanggung hendak membersihkan cerobong asap di rumah yang bersebelahan dengan rumah sang ibu yang anaknya diculik. Namun ternyata ia masuk ke cerobong asap yang salah. Setelah menuruni cerobong asap, ia mendapati dirinya berada di ruang keluarga ibu yang anaknya diculik. Lalu ada sesuatu yang membangkitkan kembali ingatan si penyapu cerobong asap itu. Ruangan itu tampak tidak asing baginya. Saat ia berdiri di sana dan memandang ke sekitarnya, tiba-tiba sang ibu masuk ke dalam. Walaupun pemuda itu berpakaian lusuh dan diselubungi jelaga hitam, sang ibu langsung mengenalinya sebagai anaknya yang hilang bertahun-tahun lalu. Apakah sang ibu meminta anaknya mandi lebih dulu sebelum memeluknya? Tentu tidak, itu anaknya sendiri. Maka, ia langsung menarik anak itu dan memeluknya, sambil menangis karena sukacita. Apakah Allah akan menanti sampai kita melakukan perbuatan baik atau menjadi orang baik dulu baru Dia akan membawa kita dekat ke hati-Nya? Tentu tidak!Apapun kondisi kita saat ini, bahkan mungkin kita merasa bahwa diri kita sudah kotor karena dosa dan kita merasa tidak layak lagi di hadapan-Nya, ketahuilah bahwa jika kita mau membuka hati untuk-Nya, maka Allah akan masuk dalam hati kita dan akan memeluk kita untuk kemudian Dia akan mengubah kita menjadi pribadi yang kembali berharga di mata-Nya. Jangan takut, kasih dan pengampunan Allah jauh lebih besar dari pada dosa kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku bersyukur karena kasih dan pengampunan-Mu lebih besar dari pada dosaku. Saat ini kubawa hatiku yang penuh dosa kepada-Mu, ampunilah aku dan kuduskan aku kembali oleh belas kasih-Mu. Sembunyikan aku di dalam hati-Mu dan basuhlah aku dengan darah-Mu, agar aku menjadi pulih seperti yang Kau kehendaki. Yesus, terima kasih atas hadiah pengampunan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).
Smallsats have defined the last decade of space, but their limitations are clear: low power, limited throughput, and fragile unit economics. K2 Space is betting on the opposite. The company is building mega class and giga class satellites, platforms measured in tons rather than kilograms, that deliver unprecedented power, capacity, and resilience. By vertically integrating 80 percent of their systems in house, K2 is cutting costs by an order of magnitude and making industrial scale spacecraft a reality.On this episode of Valley of Depth, we're joined by Neel Kunjur, cofounder and CTO of K2 Space. Neel traces the journey from early Slack messages about the promise of MEO to a 160 person team building the largest commercial satellites ever attempted. He shares how K2 has reimagined subsystems like reaction wheels, high voltage power, and 20 kW propulsion to unlock entirely new mission architectures in MEO, GEO, and beyond.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 26 September 2025Bacaan: "Sekalipun aku berjalan dalam lembah kekelaman, aku tidak takut bahaya, sebab Engkau besertaku..." (Mazmur 23:4)Renungan: Suatu pagi seorang ahli pertanahan dan pertanian di universitas Toronto Kanada ingin membawa domba-dombanya ke padang rumput dan ia harus menggiring mereka melalui lembah. Ia menyadari bahwa di perjalanan ia akan melalui beberapa rintangan, mungkin di celah-celah tebing bersembunyi ular atau binatang buas yang akan mencelakakan domba-dombanya, atau bisa saja batu-batu dari tebing berjatuhan, namun ia mengabaikan semua itu karena domba-dombanya membutuhkan rumput yang segar. Saat tiba di lembah, cuaca yang cerah tiba-tiba berubah menjadi kelam. Angin dingin bertiup dan tidak lama kemudian hujan air yang disertai es mengguyur lembah itu. Kawanan dombanya mulai gelisah. Oleh karena itu ia segera menggiring mereka berteduh di celah-celah gunung batu. Domba-domba itu kelihatan lebih tenang karena mengetahui bahwa gembalanya ada bersama-sama dengan mereka. Untunglah di lembah itu ia menemukan rumput hijau dan air yang dibutuhkan domba-dombanya. Ternyata di sepanjang lembah itu tumbuh rumput segar dengan kualitas terbaik. Gembala tahu bagaimana memberi rasa aman bagi domba-dombanya. Sebagai Gembala yang baik, Yesus melakukan yang terbaik bagi kita, domba gembalaan-Nya. Dan sebagai domba, seharusnya kita tidak keberatan ketika Dia mengajak kita berjalan melalui lembah kehidupan. Mungkin di sana kita akan mengalami ketakutan, kekecewaan, frustasi, dan hilang harapan. Tapi ingatlah bahwa Sang Gembala tidak pernah meninggalkan kita sendirian. Dia ada bersama kita untuk menjaga, bahkan menyediakan semua kebutuhan kita. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa: Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau sudah menjadi gembala utama dalam hidupku yang senantiasa menjaga dan menuntunku ke padang berumput hijau. Berilah aku keyakinan bahwa bersama Engkau semua akan berjalan dengan baik. Jangan biarkan keraguan dan ketakutan membuat aku tidak percaya akan kuasa-Mu. Kini kuserahkan keterbatasanku dalam tangan-Mu, sempurnakanlah aku agar aku tetap percaya pada-Mu walau di tengah badai. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 25 September 2025Bacaan: "Sekalipun ayahku dan ibuku meninggalkan aku, namun TUHAN menyambut aku." (Mazmur 27:10)Renungan: Seorang wanita berusia 40 an tahun menjatuhkan dirinya dari lantai 14 sebuah apartemen. Sebelumnya ia masih sempat tersenyum kepada seorang pria yang sedang membersihkan kaca jendela apartemen. Tetapi ketika petugas kebersihan itu kembali memalingkan wajah ke arahnya. wanita tersebut sudah menjatuhkan diri ke bawah. Di sebuah kursi tak jauh dari jendela tempat ia menjatuhkan diri, terdapat secarik kertas yang ditinggalkannya. Dalam kertas tersebut tertulis. "Aku tidak dapat lagi menahan rasa kesepian ini. Teleponku tidak pernah berdering. Aku tidak pernah menerima surat. Aku tidak punya teman." Ternyata di sekitar kita terdapat orang-orang yang merasa kesepian dan putus asa. Kesepian dan putus asa bisa menimpa siapa saja. Orang kaya maupun miskin, orang yang bekerja maupun yang mengganggur, orang menikah maupun yang tidak menikah, orang terkenal maupun tidak terkenal. Mungkin kita adalah seorang ibu, bapak, guru, hamba Tuhan, pengusaha atau pelajar. Banyak orang diberkati melalui pelayanan kita. Namun, ada saat-saat tertentu di mana kita merasa tidak berdaya, kesepian atau putus asa. Kondisi seperti ini mungkin disebabkan masalah keluarga, atau masalah pribadi kita yang tidak diketahui oleh siapapun. Jangan takut, Tuhan mengasihi kita dan Ia tahu apa yang kita butuhkan di saat seperti itu. Ia ingin memulihkan setiap aspek kehidupan kita. Saudara dan sahabat boleh meninggalkan kita, tapi Tuhan akan selalu menjadi sahabat setia bagi kita. Oleh karena itu, jika saat ini kita sedang merasakan kesendirian dan mulai putus asa, ingatlah janji penyertaan Tuhan. Ia tidak pernah membiarkan kita sendiri. Ia akan selalu ada untuk kita, seperti janji-Nya"...... Aku menyertai kamu senantiasa sampai kepada akhir zaman." (Mat 28:20).Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau senantiasa ada untuk ku. Sering di saat-saat tertentu aku merasakan kesepian dan kegalauan dalam hidupku. Aku merasa tidak tahu harus berbuat apa. Aku merasa ditinggalkan oleh orang yang sangat kukasihi dan aku merasa seolah-olah Engkau begitu jauh dari kehidupanku. Tapi kini aku tahu, bahwa janji penyertaan-Mu juga ditujukan kepadaku. Engkau senantiasa ada dan hadir dalam keseluruhan hidupku. Kini kuserahkan rasa sepi dan tak berdaya ku padaMu, hiburlah dan ubahlah hatiku, agar damai dan sukacitaku kembali masuk dan menguasai hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

In this episode of Building the Base, Hondo Geurts and Lauren Bedula sit down with Jamie Jones Miller, CEO of Northeastern University's Arlington campus and Interim Director of the Kostas Research Institute. Drawing from her journey from Capitol Hill legislative work on the House Armed Services Committee to the Pentagon's Office of Legislative Affairs, and now leading national security research in academia, Miller discusses the critical need for "unicorn talent" that bridges policy, technology, and leadership. She explains why universities must align with defense priorities, the importance of matching talent pipelines to technology strategies, and how academia can serve as a vital connector in the national security ecosystem.Five key takeaways from today's episode:Employers want "unicorn talent" who can seamlessly operate across policy, technology, and leadership domains, with Miller noting they "want the people who can figure out how to look into the future and see what's coming."Policy, technology, and security are now inseparable, as Miller reflects that these domains "can't stand on its own anymore" and require integrated approaches to education and problem-solving.Academia must align with defense priorities, with Miller asking "what is the next critical technologies list at DOD gonna look like?" to ensure universities invest where "the investments are going to be made."Talent strategy must match technology strategy, as Miller challenges organizations: "Do you have a talent pipeline plan? How many engineers do you need to hire in the next 12 to 18 months?"Start with real problems, not solutions, emphasizing the need to ask "what are your pain points?" and build trust through delivery rather than rushing to help without understanding actual needs.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 24 September 2025Bacaan: "Ia membuat segala sesuatu indah pada waktunya, bahkan Ia memberikan kekekalan dalam hati mereka. Tetapi manusia tidak dapat menyelami pekerjaan yang dilakukan Allah dari awal sampal akhir." (Pengkhotbah 3:11)Renungan: Leonardo da Vinci berasal dari keluarga broken home. Ia adalah anak yang lahir di luar nikah. la tidak pernah melihat ibunya. Ayahnya kemudian menikah dengan wanita berumur 26 tahun. Dua belas tahun pertama la diasuh oleh neneknya, dan setelah itu pengasuhan diserahkan kepada dua orang tantenya. Selanjutnya ia dibesarkan oleh ayah dan ibu tirinya. Ayahnya bekerja di bidang hukum dan terpandang, maka ayahnya tidak mengijinkan Leonardo bermain dengan anak-anak di kampung tersebut dan ia kehilangan masa kanak-kanak yang indah.Dengan awal kehidupan seperti di atas, mungkin kita akan berpikir bahwa Leonardo akan menjadi anak bodoh dengan sikap anti sosial. Tetapi ternyata ia memiliki keingintahuan yang besar. Ia senang berjalan-jalan di desanya, melihat, mendengar dan memperhatikan banyak tanaman, binatang, Fosil, kayu dsb. Hingga pada akhirnya ia dikenal sebagai seorang astronom terkemuka, ahli geologi, insinyur, ahli botani, ahli anatomi, penulis terkenal, ilustrator dan psikolog. Awal kehidupan ataupun masa lalu yang buruk tidak selalu membuat seseorang bermasa depan suram. Dengan perjuangan, kerja keras dan iman pada Tuhan, kita bisa meraih yang lebih baik. Bersama Tuhan, kita bisa mengubah keadaan yang buruk menjadi baik. Bahkan kutuk pun bisa diubah menjadi berkat. Tetapi kita juga harus berjuang dengan gigih dan bekerja keras. Jauhkan anggapan bahwa kita sudah ditakdirkan hidup menderita, atau kita tidak mungkin berhasil seperti orang lain. Berusahalah, bersama Tuhan tidak ada yang mustahil. Tuhan Yesus memberkati.Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku bersyukur pada-Mu karena Engkau mengetahui seluk beluk kehidupanku, masa laluku, kekecewaanku, luka hatiku, dan pandangan orang lain terhadapku. Telusurilah kembali semua itu, dan hapuskanlah bila masih ada hal-hal yang membuat hatiku tidak nyaman dengan hal itu semua. Ubahlah semua pemikiran negatif tentang diriku. Bantu aku untuk menatap ke depan, bahwa bersama dengan Engkau segala sesuatu yang buruk menurut pemandangan mataku dan orang lain dapat dan telah Kau ubah menjadi baik. Amin. (Dod).

The Department of Veterans Affairs is the second largest government agency. The Secretary of the VA has an operational responsibility to support our Veterans and a moral obligation to ensure that those who defend and protect American interests are returned from service as contributing members of society. To explore what it takes to transform one of America's biggest bureaucracies, Fran Racioppi sat down with the Secretary of the VA, Doug Collins. As a former US and Georgia Congressman, and a Chaplain having served in both the Air Force and Navy, Secretary Collins knows what a Veteran needs and how to navigate Washington to get it done. The Secretary and Fran broke down the pillars of VA support: including the VA Health Care System, the Disability and Pension process, education support programs like the GI Bill and Vocational Rehab, the importance of Veteran-Owned Businesses, and the no down payment VA mortgages. Most importantly the Secretary shared his vision to stop Veteran suicide and why despite spending billions to reduce it over the years, we must forge a path that actually works. Fran has personally leveraged almost every single pillar of support the VA has to offer. And although it hasn't always been perfect, Secretary Collins explains why the VA leads industry in many domains and how under his leadership the VA will be held to a defined standard of excellence. This episode is about bridging the gap between military service and civilian life, the responsibility the VA has in supporting our nation's most important asset, and why Veterans are critical to American strength.

Nick Sinai, former U.S. Deputy CTO and venture capital investor, is a leading authority on federal innovation policy and defense start-ups. We spoke to Nick about how hackathons are being used by DOD to address real operational problems outside the formal requirements process. Nick explains that these events build networks of talent, expose participants to new tools and datasets, and foster ideas that can sometimes even mature into field-ready solutions. Hackathons give both industry and government a rapid, low-risk way to experiment and learn what the warfighter actually needs.To receive updates about the conference please join our mailing list here: https://www.emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org/sign-up http://emergingtechnologiesinstitute.org https://www.facebook.com/EmergingTechETI https://www.linkedin.com/company/ndia-eti-emerging-technologies-institute https://www.twitter.com/EmergingTechETI

Send us a textPeaches is back in the team room, and this “daily” drop is anything but short. From the Air Force reactivating old commands to Space Force rolling out new uniforms, this episode dives into the chaos of DoD rebrands, reorganizations, and questionable decisions. Why are we shooting at UFOs with Reapers? Why is Congress playing budget chicken with defense spending?

On Friday's Mark Levin Show, Venezuela, Mexico, and Communist China, are flooding the U.S. with deadly poisons killing many young people. Unlike others who merely complain, President Trump uses his presidential powers and the military to intervene, such as destroying a drug-laden Venezuelan boat and giving orders to eliminate threats like encroaching Venezuelan jets. The reaction from the left is to find a court or a law to try and prevent Trump from protecting Americans from enemies foreign and domestic. Afterward, we're glad to see all those attacking pro-military conservatives as "warmongers" now celebrating the Department of War. We were never warmongers. And we salute POTUS and what he is doing for DOD and our national security. He was never an isolationist or appeaser or pacificist. Peace through strength. Also, Tucker Carlson, Qatarlson, conducted an entire program using a disgruntled reportedly former contractor, who was apparently dropped by the State Department, to smear Mark's step-son David Milstein, who works for Ambassador Huckabee, as well as Huckabee, Speaker Mike Johnson, the entire Rubio State Department, and President Trump's policies. Qatarlson believes that libeling a family member is fair game. Ask yourself, what causes someone like Qatarlson to become so thoroughly evil that they promote 9/11 conspiracies, host Holocaust deniers and Hitler promoters, lavish praise on Putin and other monsters, smear our country's history, military, and great leaders, spread vicious lies and hate about our allies like Israel, trash President Trump for successfully defending our nation against the Iranian terrorist regime and its nuclear program, and smear our country's history? Later, unlike Joe Biden, Trump is protecting Christians, not punishing them. DOJ released a report exposing systematic anti-Christian bias under the Biden administration. Key findings include the State Department limiting humanitarian aid to Christians, favoring non-Christian hires, denying leave for Christian holidays, and imposing LGBTQ+ ideology that violated religious beliefs. The task force commits to ending such discrimination, ensuring equal treatment for all faiths. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
