Podcasts about DOD

The big five military contractors – which receive about a third of the DOD's annual contracts – are making billions from Trump's attacks on Iran and other countries.

The fight over the FY27 National Defense Authorization Act is about far more than acquisition policy. It is a debate about who controls intellectual property, how defense companies deploy capital, and whether the Pentagon can attract the commercial innovators, it says it needs. In this episode of Emerging Tech Horizons, Arun Seraphin sits down with acquisition policy expert Moshe Schwartz, President of Etherton and Associates, to break down the most consequential defense industrial base provisions moving through Congress for part one of a two-part discussion regarding the NDAA. While lawmakers continue pushing reforms aimed at accelerating innovation and expanding the industrial base, many of the biggest questions center on implementation and unintended consequences. Key topics include: • Why Congress is pressuring the Department of Defense to finally implement commercial acquisition reforms passed in previous NDAAs.  • New intellectual property provisions that could significantly expand government-purpose rights and reshape how commercial firms, startups, and subcontractors engage with DoD.  • Senate proposals restricting stock buybacks and dividends, and what they reveal about Congress's growing interest in shaping corporate investment decisions. • The rise of strategic capital, equity investments, adversarial capital oversight, and new institutions designed to bring economic competition into national security policymaking.  

by UFO History Buff & Author, Charles Lear While J. Allen Hynek was bringing the invisible college out into the open, he became involved with a documentary that has Rod Serling as its main host, along with Burgess Meredith, José Ferrer, and Vallée. The movie makes a compelling argument that UFOs should be taken seriously and includes appearances by former Blue Book heads Robert Friend and Hector Quintanilla.In its release in 1974 it was titled UFOs: Past, Present, and Future, which was changed to UFOs: It Has Begun for its release in 1976 and 1979. Besides being informative and entertaining and preserving a bit of UFO history for future researchers, the story behind its production has become a part of UFO history as well, as its producers were reportedly misled by the Pentagon into believing they would receive classified footage of a UFO landing at Holloman AFB in May of 1971.The footage was described as showing a meeting between the UFO occupants and Air Force officials. According to producer, main writer, and composer Robert Emenegger, it was going to be the finale of the documentary until the DoD withdrew the offer at the last minute.Robert Emenegger was interviewed by Mel Fabregas in 2009. According to him, he and Allen Sandler had originally set out to produce a series of films about advanced military technology, but were diverted by an intriguing piece of information offered by their military contact at Norton Air Force Base, Paul Shartle. Shartle, Security Manager and Chief of Requirements for the Audio-Visual Program at the base, said that he had seen a film of an alien craft landing at Holloman AFB in 1971. As discussions about possible projects continued, the idea that one of them be about UFOs came up and was encouraged by military officials who offered the producers the use of the footage. Emenegger and Sandler decided to go ahead with a UFO documentary, and the film was made. Read more →CONTACT AND SUPPORT

En una nueva edición de Crónicas de un Guetto, el músico repasa su historia en el arte urbano y la cruda grabación de su nuevo disco. Valparaíso respira a través de sus muros y sus amplificadores. En un nuevo capítulo de "Crónicas de un Guetto" por Ritoque FM, Juan Danilo Veas abrió los micrófonos para recibir a Jesús Pereira, un artista que conoce de sobra ambos mundos. La conversación arrancó repasando su faceta como muralista a principios de los años 2000, época en la que plasmó una decena de obras dejando huellas en lugares icónicos como el Cerro Alegre, el pasaje Apolo y el colegio San Damián. Para Pereira, el arte urbano no necesita pretensiones intelectuales elevadas; el simple hecho de salir a pintar a la calle y retratar la realidad postmoderna en la que vivimos ya es un acto profundamente político y de resistencia. Pero el corazón de la entrevista latió al ritmo de Piure, el estridente power trío que lidera desde 2018. Tras agradecer públicamente el trabajo de Osvaldo Sudhe, quien está reeditando en vinilo el histórico catálogo de su ex banda Ocho Bolas, Jesús detalló el intenso proceso detrás de "Vanadio", el nuevo disco de Piure. Fieles a la vieja escuela y buscando escapar de los sonidos plásticos, la banda se encerró en Foca Estudio junto a "Pajarito" Mardones y grabó todo el álbum de una sola vez durante una tarde de Semana Santa. La decisión de grabar de manera directa buscó capturar esa electricidad y energía genuina que solo se genera cuando los músicos se miran a la cara y tocan al mismo tiempo. Como el rock debe vivirse en directo, el episodio cerró con la agenda repleta. Piure se prepara para una fecha doble: este viernes 31 de julio aterrizarán en "El Cuarto" de Casablanca junto a las bandas DOD, La Yegua Negra y Puncreas. Al día siguiente, el sábado 1 de agosto, desatarán todo su arsenal en una mega tocata en Valparaíso compartiendo escenario con Migueles, Termorate y Grito. La escena local sigue rugiendo y la invitación está hecha para salir a apoyar a nuestras bandas.

Federal agencies are facing growing pressure to replace heavily customized legacy business systems with commercial off-the-shelf platforms that are easier to maintain, update and secure. At the Defense Logistics Agency, officials are treating their enterprise resource planning modernization project as more than just a technology upgrade. DLA says it's using the transition as an opportunity to rethink how it does business as DoD pursues its first clean audit. Adarryl Roberts is DLA's chief information officer. He talked about the work with Federal News Network's Jory Heckman.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 21 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau, janganlah bimbang, sebab Aku ini Allahmu; Aku akan meneguhkan, bahkan akan menolong engkau; Aku akan memegang engkau dengan tangan kanan-Ku yang membawa kemenangan.” (Yesaya 41:10) Renungan: Ada seorang pemuda bernama Riko berusia 27 tahun. Pagi-pagi dia scroll instagram melihat teman-teman seangkatannya. Ada yang sudah menjadi manager, menikah, punya anak dan punya rumah. Siang harinya dia mendapat email, lamaran kerjanya ditolak lagi. Ini adalah penolakan yang ke-8 selama satu bulan ini. Malam harinya orang tuanya bertanya: “Kapan kerja? Kapan nikah?” Kemudian dia masuk kamar dan duduk di tempat tidurnya. Kepalanya penuh dan dia menjerit pelan, “Aku gagal. Aku ketinggalan. Aku sendirian.” Diapun takut akan masa depannya dan mulai bimbang dengan keputusan yang akan diambilnya. Ia merasa capek namun pura-pura kuat di depan orangnya. Saat hendak tidur tiba-tiba hatinya tergerak untuk membaca Alkitab. Pada saat ia membuka Alkitab, tanpa disengaja ia membaca Yesaya 41:10. Setelah membacanya ia menjadi tenang dan malam itu ia bisa tidur dengan nyenyak. Pada saat bangsa Israel hidup dalam pembuangan, mereka merasa takut, bimbang dan merasa dibuang oleh Tuhan. Tetapi melalui bacaan di atas Tuhan memberikan kekuatan kepada mereka. Ada 4 janji yang Tuhan nyatakan yaitu, pertama, “Janganlah takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau”. Dalam hal ini Tuhan mau mengatakan bahwa apapun masalah yang dialami bangsa Israel saat itu, Allah tidak pernah meninggalkan mereka. Allah selalu menyertai mereka. Kedua, “Janganlah bimbang, sebab Aku ini Allahmu”. Kalimat ini mau menunjukkan kepada bangsa Israel bahwa Allah dekat pada bangsa Israel. Ketiga, “Aku akan meneguhkan, bahkan akan menolong engkau”. Saat mereka lemah, Allah menguatkan. Saat mereka tidak punya harapan, Aku menolong mereka. Keempat, “Aku akan memegang engkau dengan tangan kanan-Ku”. Tuhan mau mengingatkan bahwa tangan kanan-Nya penuh kuasa dan kemenangan. Tuhan tidak pernah berkata, "Hidupmu aman dan tidak ada masalah", tapi Dia berjanji, "Di tengah masalahmu, Aku menyertai, meneguhkan dan memegang engkau." Ketakutan kita dijawab dengan kehadiran Tuhan. Kebimbangan kita dijawab dengan janji Tuhan. Jadi ketika besok bangun pagi dan kecemasan muncul lagi, ingatlah bahwa kita tidak sedang berjuang sendirian. Ada tangan kanan Tuhan yang sedang memegang dan menuntun kita selangkah demi selangkah menuju kemenangan-Nya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, hari ini aku mengakui bahwa aku takut dan bimbang akan masa depanku. Tapi hari ini juga firman-Mu berkata, "Jangan takut, sebab Aku menyertai engkau." Tolong pegang tanganku, Tuhan. Teguhkan hatiku yang lemah. Aku percaya Engkau Allahku dan Engkau tidak pernah meninggalkan aku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 20 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Hendaklah kamu saling mengasihi sebagai saudara dan saling mendahului dalam memberi hormat.” (Roma 12:10)Renungan: Mother Teresa ketika tinggal di Kalkuta, dia sering berjalan kaki mengelilingi gang kumuh. Dia memungut orang yang sekarat di pinggir jalan, membersihkan lukanya dan memberinya makan. Suatu hari ada seorang wartawan yang bertanya: “Kenapa Ibu melakukan semua ini?”Jawabnya sederhana, “Karena setiap orang itu adalah Yesus yang menyamar. Dan saya mau mendahului menghormati Dia.” Ia tidak menunggu orang lain lebih dulu sopan. Ia tidak menunggu orang miskin itu "layak" dihormati. Dia yang lebih dulu memberi hormat dengan mencuci kaki, memeluk dan memanggil mereka dengan namanya. Dari kasih kecil yang mendahului itu, ribuan orang di seluruh dunia tersentuh dan ikut melayani. Paulus memberi dua kunci untuk hidup bersaudara. Pertama saling mengasihi sebagai saudara. Bukan kasih karena cocok, tapi karena kita satu keluarga di dalam Kristus. Kedua saling mendahului dalam memberi hormat. Kata “mendahului” artinya berlomba. Siapa yang lebih dulu menghargai dan memuliakan orang lain. Intinya: Jangan tunggu dihormati dulu baru menghormati. Jangan tunggu disapa dulu baru menyapa. Di kerajaan Allah, yang "menang" adalah yang paling dulu mengasihi. Sebagai pengikut Yesus, mungkin ayat ini menampar kita di tiga area yaitu pertama di Gereja / Komunitas. Kita sering pilih-pilih teman. Dekat sama yang sekelompok, seumuran, sepelayanan. Sedangkan yang beda pendapat, kita cuek. Padahal kita dipanggil saling mengasihi sebagai saudara. Kedua di Rumah & Kantor. Kita mau dihargai. Mau didengar. Mau diapresiasi. Tetapi kita menunggu orang lain mulai duluan. Akibatnya semua diam dan saling menunggu. Di Media Sosial. Gampang komen pedas, gampang menjatuhkan. Padahal kita dipanggil mendahului memberi hormat, bukan mendahului menghakimi. Roma 12:10 ini mengajak kita jadi pembuka jalan. Mendahului minta maaf. Mendahului memuji. Mendahului melayani tanpa pamrih. Mendahului menghargai orang yang tidak populer dan sebagainya. Karena saat kita mendahului mengasihi, kita sedang memperlihatkan seperti apa keluarga Allah itu. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang sering menunggu orang lain mengasihi aku dulu. Ajarilah aku mengasihi sebagai saudara, bahkan kepada yang sulit kukasihi. Berikanlah aku hati yang mau mendahului dalam memberi hormat. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 19 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Dan sebagaimana kamu kehendaki supaya orang perbuat kepadamu, perbuatlah juga demikian kepada mereka.” (Lukas 6:31)Renungan: Fred Rogers adalah seorang pembawa acara TV anak-anak di Amerika selama 33 tahun. Acaranya sederhana: dia duduk, ganti sepatu, nyanyi, ngobrol dengan anak-anak. Suatu hari dia diundang ke Senat AS untuk meminta dana bagi TV publik anak-anak. Semua orang pikir dia akan kalah, karena waktu bicaranya cuma 6 menit. Tapi dia tidak bicara data. Dia cerita tentang anak yang merasa tidak dicintai, lalu berkata: “Saya ingin anak-anak tahu bahwa mereka dicintai apa adanya.” Anggota Senat yang awalnya mau potong dana, langsung menyetujui 20 juta dolar. Kenapa? Karena Rogers memperlakukan mereka seperti dia ingin diperlakukan, dengan hormat, tulus, dan tidak menghakimi. Lukas 6:31 ini merupakan "Aturan Emas" yang dikatakan Yesus di atas bukit. Kalimatnya pendek, tapi sungguh bermakna, “Sebagaimana kamu kehendaki supaya orang perbuat kepadamu, perbuatlah juga demikian kepada mereka.” Yesus tidak berkata, "Perlakukan orang seperti mereka memperlakukan kamu". Dia berkata, "Perlakukan seperti kamu ingin diperlakukan". Ini kasih yang aktif. Namun aturan ini paling susah dipraktikkan di tiga tempat yaitu pertama, di Media Sosial. Kita mau dihargai pendapatnya, tapi kita gampang menghakimi dan nyinyir di kolom komentar. Kita mau dimengerti, tapi kita cepat menyimpulkan orang. Kedua, di Keluarga dan Kantor. Kita mau disupport saat capek, tapi kita pelit memuji orang lain. Kita mau dimaafkan saat salah, tapi kita susah mengampuni. Ketiga, ke orang yang menyakiti kita. Kita mau diberi kesempatan kedua, tapi kita menutup pintu untuk orang yang pernah melukai kita. Yesus menantang kita hari ini: Jangan jadi cermin yang hanya memantulkan perlakuan orang. Jadilah lampu yang menyalakan kebaikan duluan. Mungkin hari ini ada orang yang perlu kita perlakukan seperti kita ingin diperlakukan yaitu kita meminta maaf duluan, membelikan kopi rekan kerja, diam dan mendengarkan pasangan kita dan senyum ke tukang ojek dll. Karena saat kita menabur perlakuan yang kita mau terima, kita sedang mencerminkan kehadiran Yesus. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang sering menuntut orang lain berubah dulu, baru aku berubah. Hari ini ajarilah aku hidup dengan Aturan Emas-Mu untuk memperlakukan orang lain dengan baik sebagaimana aku mau diperlakukan dengan baik oleh orang lain. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 18 Juli 2026Bacaan: “Sebab katanya: "Asal kujamah saja jubah-Nya, aku akan sembuh." (Markus 5:28)Renungan: Bethany Hamilton adalah seorang atlet selancar profesional. Pada usia 13 tahun, lengannya digigit hiu saat latihan di Hawaii. Dia hampir mati kehabisan darah. Dokter mengatakan karir selancarnya selesai. Banyak orang merasa kasihan dan berkata, "Sudahlah, berhenti saja." Tapi empat minggu kemudian dia sudah kembali ke papan selancarnya dengan 1 tangan. Waktu ditanya apa yang menguatkan dia, dia menjawab, "Saya tidak berdoa minta lengan saya kembali. Saya berdoa minta Tuhan pakai hidup saya. Asal saya bisa dekat dengan Dia, itu cukup." Pada akhirnya dia pun meraih juara dunia, punya keluarga, dan jadi kesaksian bahwa Tuhan sanggup memakai kekurangan menjadi kekuatan. Dia "menjamah jubah Yesus" di tengah luka, dan Tuhan beri dia kekuatan baru. Bacaan di atas mengisahkan tentang seorang perempuan yang sudah 12 tahun sakit pendarahan. Bayangkan: 12 tahun sakit, uang habis untuk biaya pengobatan, tetapi tidak sembuh, malah semakin parah. Secara agama dia najis. Tidak boleh memegang orang, hidupnya sendirian, malu dan putus asa. Tapi ketika dia mendengar tentang Yesus, muncullah iman di hatinya dengan berkata, "Asal kujamah saja jubah-Nya, aku akan sembuh." Ketika ia berhasil menjamah jubah Yesus, saat itu juga pendarahannya berhenti. Yesus berkata, "Imanmu telah menyelamatkan engkau." Yesus tidak hanya menyembuhkan tubuhnya, tapi juga memulihkan identitasnya. Sebagai pengikut Yesus, saat kita punya masalah kita sering meminta pertolongan ke dukun, orang pintar, curhat di medsos, curhat ke semua orang, cari motivasi. Tapi lupa datang dan menjamah Yesus. Yesus hari ini masih berjalan di tengah keramaian hidup kita. Dia tidak sibuk. Dia berhenti untuk satu orang yang beriman. Pertanyaannya: Maukah kita punya iman seperti perempuan itu? "Tuhan, aku tidak tahu jalan keluarnya. Tapi asal aku bisa dekat dengan-Mu, aku percaya Engkau sanggup menolong aku." Jangan tunggu kuat dulu baru datang kepada Tuhan. Datanglah dalam kelemahan. Karena di sanalah kuasa-Nya menjadi sempurna. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku datang seperti perempuan itu hari ini. Dengan iman kecil, dengan hati lelah, asal aku jamah Engkau saja, aku percaya ada kesembuhan. Jamah lukaku. Jamah kekuatiranku. Jamah hidupku. Aku tidak mau lari ke tempat lain lagi. Aku mau dekat dengan-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 17 Juli 2026Bacaan: Lalu kata Yesus kepadanya: "Apa yang kaukehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Jawab orang buta itu: "Rabuni, supaya aku dapat melihat!" (Markus 10:51)Renungan: Helen Keller kehilangan penglihatan dan pendengaran sejak umur 19 bulan karena sakit. Dunianya gelap dan sunyi. Dia sering marah, memukul, dan merasa terkurung. Sampai datang seorang guru bernama Anne Sullivan. Hari yang mengubah hidup Helen adalah saat gurunya menaruh tangan Helen di bawah air mengalir sambil mengeja kata "w-a-t-e-r" di telapak tangannya. Saat itu Helen sadar bahwa segala sesuatu punya nama. Dia sadar ada dunia di luar kegelapannya. Helen kemudian berkata: “Saya lebih suka menjadi buta dan melihat dunia dengan hati, daripada punya dua mata tapi buta terhadap tujuan hidup.” Dari seorang yang "buta", Tuhan pakai dia jadi penulis, pembicara, dan menginspirasi jutaan orang. Bartimeus adalah seorang pengemis buta yang duduk di pinggir jalan Yerikho. Waktu ia mendengar Yesus lewat, dia berteriak minta tolong. Orang-orang menyuruhnya diam, tapi dia makin keras berteriak: "Yesus, Anak Daud, kasihanilah aku!" Yesus pun berhenti dan bertanya, "Apa yang kaukehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Perhatikanlah dua hal: Pertama Yesus berhenti. Dia peduli pada satu orang yang berseru. Kedua, Yesus bertanya. Dia tahu apa yang diharapkan Bartimeus tetapi Dia mau Bartimeus jujur dan spesifik minta kepada-Nya. Bartimeus menjawab dengan jelas, "Supaya aku dapat melihat!" Dia tidak minta uang. Dia minta sumber dari segala berkat yaitu penglihatan. Dan seketika itu juga Bartimeus melihat, lalu mengikut Yesus. Kita juga sering "buta" seperti Bartimeus. Buta arah. Bingung tentang masa depan, kerja dan jodoh. Kita tidak tahu harus melangkah ke mana. Buta iman. Kita sudah lama berdoa tetapi belum dijawab. Akhirnya kita jadi tawar hati dan berhenti berharap. Buta akan kasih Tuhan. Kita mengalami luka hati dan kecewa menutupi mata kita, sehingga tidak bisa melihat Tuhan yang sedang bekerja memulihkan kita. Yesus hari ini masih bertanya hal yang sama kepada kita, "Apa yang kamu kehendaki supaya Aku perbuat bagimu?" Dia tidak mau jawaban umum seperti "berkati aku Tuhan". Dia mau kita jujur, "Tuhan, pulihkan hubunganku dengan anakku", "Tuhan, berikan aku pekerjaan", "Tuhan, sembuhkan lukaku", "Tuhan, supaya aku dapat melihat rencana-Mu". Kita diharapkan jangan diam karena takut atau malu. Berserulah karena Yesus yang sama yang menyembuhkan Bartimeus, juga mau menyembuhkan kita hari ini. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, seperti Bartimeus aku berseru kepada-Mu hari ini, "Rabuni, supaya aku dapat melihat". Perlihatkan aku jalan-Mu, perlihatkan aku kasih-Mu, dan perlihatkan aku mujizat-Mu. Ampunilah aku yang sering menyerah dan diam karena tawar hati. Aku percaya Engkau mendengar dan sanggup memulihkan hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 16 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Setelah selesai berbicara, Ia berkata kepada Simon: "Bertolaklah ke tempat yang dalam dan tebarkanlah jalamu untuk menangkap ikan." (Lukas 5:4)Renungan: Waktu kecil Thomas Alfa Edison pernah dikeluarkan dari sekolah karena dianggap "terlalu bodoh". Gurunya berkata dia tidak bisa belajar. Waktu meneliti bola lampu, dia gagal ribuan kali. Wartawan bertanya: "Pak, bagaimana rasanya gagal ribuan kali?" Edison jawab: "Saya tidak gagal ribuan kali. Saya hanya menemukan ribuan cara yang tidak berhasil." Dia "bertolak ke tempat yang dalam" - terus mencoba walau semua orang berkata mustahil. Dari kegagalan itu lahirlah lampu pijar yang sampai hari ini menerangi dunia. Yang orang lihat gelap, tapi dia taat "menebar jala" terus, sampai akhirnya terang itu datang. Waktu itu Petrus sudah semalaman mencari ikan hasilnya mengecewakan. Ia capai, malu dan mau menyerah. Tetapi Yesus datang dan berkata, "Bertolaklah ke tempat yang dalam". Bertolak artinya bergerak. Jangan diam dalam kekecewaan. Tetap taat walau tidak masuk akal. Ke tempat yang dalam artinya menuju ke tempat yang berisiko, yang mungkin mustahil menurut manusia. Di sanalah mujizat akan terjadi. Tebarkanlah jalamu, artinya lakukan bagian kita dengan usaha dan iman, maka Tuhan akan melakukan bagian-Nya juga. Yesus tidak menyuruh Petrus kerja lebih keras. Dia menyuruh Petrus taat di tempat yang benar bersama Dia. Kita sering seperti Petrus yang "semalaman tidak mendapat apa-apa." Dalam pelayanan kita sudah mewartakan Injil dan mendoakan orang, tapi tidak ada yang berubah. Akhirnya godaan datang yaitu perkataan, "Sudahlah, capek." Di dalam keluarga kita sudah menasihati anak, sudah berdoa untuk pasangan, tapi ternyata situasinya sama tidak berubah. Maka godaan adalah perkataan, "Percuma." Di dalam kehidupan ini kita sudah mengirim lamaran, sudah berusaha, tapi pintu berkat tetap tertutup. Akhirnya kecewa dan godaannya adalah kata-kata pasrah karena kecewa, "Mungkin bukan jalanku." Yesus hari ini berkata kepada kita juga, "Bertolaklah ke tempat yang dalam." Mungkin "tempat yang dalam" itu adalah: tetap mengasihi musuh, tetap jujur walau rugi, tetap memuji walau hati sakit, tetap percaya walau doa belum dijawab. Di tempat dangkal kita hanya dapat ikan kecil. Tapi di kedalaman bersama Yesus, ada berkat yang bisa "mengoyakkan jala". Jangan berhenti sebelum Yesus berkata berhenti. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, aku sering menyerah terlalu cepat. Hari ini aku mendengar suara-Mu, "Bertolaklah ke tempat yang dalam." Berikan aku keberanian untuk taat, bahkan saat tidak mengerti. Tolonglah aku agar mau menebar jala lagi bersama-Mu. Aku percaya Engkau sanggup mengubah kegagalanku menjadi kesuksesan. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 15 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Kita tahu sekarang, bahwa Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi mereka yang mengasihi Dia, yaitu bagi mereka yang terpanggil sesuai dengan rencana Allah." (Roma 8:28) Renungan: Nick Vujicic lahir tanpa tangan dan tanpa kaki. Waktu kecil dia sering dibully di sekolah. Dia sempat bertanya, "Tuhan, mengapa Engkau membuat aku seperti ini? Hidupku untuk apa? Pada umur 10 tahun dia mau bunuh diri. Tapi dia sadar dan mulai berpikir, "Kalau Tuhan bisa pakai segala sesuatu, berarti Dia juga bisa pakai tubuhku yang seperti ini." Nick kemudian belajar berenang, main bola, mengetik dengan jari kaki. Pelan-pelan dia mulai bicara di depan orang. Awalnya cuma 10 orang. Lalu 100, lalu ribuan orang. Sekarang Nick sudah keliling kepuluhan negara, menginspirasi jutaan orang. Dia berkata, "Saya tidak punya tangan untuk memeluk orang, tapi saya punya mulut untuk memberitahu mereka bahwa Tuhan mengasihi mereka." Yang tadinya dia menganggap dirinya sebagai kutukan, Tuhan ubah menjadi alat untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagi banyak orang. "Allah turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu" artinya tidak ada kejadian yang kebetulan. Yang manis dan yang pahit, yang gagal dan yang berhasil, semua ada dalam tangan Tuhan untuk mendatangkan kebaikan. Tuhan tidak mengatakan semua hal itu baik. Tapi Dia berjanji bisa mengubahnya menjadi lebih baik. Tuhan itu seperti seorang pelukis. Kita melihat coretan dari dekat. Tapi Tuhan sedang melukis gambar besar yang indah dari surga. Kita tidak perlu menunggu hidup menjadi "sempurna" dulu baru dipakai Tuhan. Mulai hari ini, bawalah semua kekurangan kita kepada Tuhan dan katakan pada-Nya, "Tuhan Engkau mau apa untuk hidupku ini? Aku siap untuk melakukan kehendak-Mu." Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang sering bertanya "kenapa aku" saat ada masalah. Hari ini aku percaya bahwa Engkau turut bekerja dalam segala sesuatu untuk mendatangkan kebaikan bagiku. Pakailah hidupku, kekuranganku, bahkan lukaku, untuk menjadi berkat bagi orang lain. Aku mau mengasihi-Mu dan percaya pada indahnya rencana-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 14 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Hai anak-anak, taatilah orang tuamu di dalam Tuhan, karena haruslah demikian." (Efesus 6:1)Renungan: Dimas adalah murid kelas 4 SD. Suatu hari gurunya memberi tugas membuat video tentang "Tokoh Panutanku". Teman-temannya memih pemain bola, youtuber, artis dll. Ketika tiba giliran Dimas presentasi, dia maju sambil membawa foto. "Itu siapa?" tanya temannya. "Itu Bapakku," jawab Dimas. "Setiap pagi Bapak bangun jam 5 buat antar aku sekolah. Kalau aku sakit, Bapak begadang menjaga aku. Kalau aku nakal, Bapak tetap doain aku." Teman-temannya terdiam. Ada yang ketawa kecil. Tapi Bu Guru bilang, "Itu pahlawan yang paling hebat, Dim." Malamnya Dimas cerita ke Bapaknya. Bapaknya memeluk Dimas sambil berkata, "Nak, Bapak juga belajar jadi orang tua yang baik dari Tuhan." Sejak itu Dimas menjadi anak yang lebih taat. Kalau disuruh belajar, dia tidak menjawab "nanti". Kalau disuruh membantu mencuci piring, dia langsung melakukannya. Taatilah orang tuamu di dalam Tuhan artinya mendengar dan melakukan apa yang orang tua minta, selama itu tidak bertentangan dengan kehendak Tuhan. Mengapa? Karena "haruslah demikian". Tuhan memberikan orang tua sebagai wakil-Nya di dalam keluarga. Melalui mereka Tuhan memberi kita makan, sekolah, nasihat, dan doa. Taat bukan karena takut dimarahi tapi karena kita mengasihi Tuhan. Anak zaman sekarang terlalu pandai. Mereka bisa buka HP sendiri dan bisa mencari jawaban di Google. Tapi kadang karena "merasa lebih tahu", mereka jadi sering meremehkan orang tua. Mereka susah mendengarkan nasihat orang tua. Kalau orang tua bicara, mereka menjawab "Tau... Tau..." tapi sambil main HP. Mereka juga suka membantah. Disuruh belajar jawabnya, "Ah ntar", disuruh beresin kamar jawabnya, "Ribet". Mereka juga kurang menghargai orang tua. Lupa mengucapkan terima kasih untuk makanan, baju, uang sekolah dll. Taat itu bukan berarti jadi anak penakut. Taat itu berarti jadi anak yang pintar, karena tahu siapa yang Tuhan pakai untuk menjaganya. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih untuk Papa dan Mama yang Engkau berikan kepadaku. Ampuni aku kalau sering membantah dan membuat mereka sedih. Ajarilah aku menjadi anak yang taat, seperti Yesus yang juga taat kepada Maria dan Yusuf. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Senin, 13 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Sekalipun ayahku dan ibuku meninggalkan aku, namun TUHAN menyambut aku." (Mazmur 27:10)Renungan: Pada tahun 1967, seorang laki-laki bernama Joni Eareckson umur 17 tahun meloncat ke danau untuk menyelam. Namun karena salah perhitungan, dia cedera tulang belakang. Sejak hari itu dia lumpuh dari leher ke bawah. Dunia Joni runtuh. Orang tuanya sedih, teman-temannya menjauh. Dia marah sama Tuhan. "Kenapa aku? Kenapa Tuhan izinkan ini?" Di tempat tidur rumah sakit, dia merasa benar-benar ditinggalkan. Fisiknya lemah, masa depannya gelap, dan dia merasa tidak ada yang mengerti. Tapi di titik paling hancur itu, Joni mulai membuka Alkitab. Mazmur 27:10 jadi pegangannya: "Sekalipun ayahku dan ibuku meninggalkan aku, namun TUHAN menyambut aku." Tuhan tidak menyembuhkan tubuhnya. Tapi Tuhan menyambut dia. Dari kursi roda, Joni menjadi pelukis dengan kuas di mulut, penulis 40 buku, dan pendiri yayasan yang menolong ribuan penyandang disabilitas di seluruh dunia. Dia berkata, "Tuhan tidak selalu mengeluarkan kita dari air, tapi Dia selalu masuk ke dalam air bersama kita." Daud menulis mazmur di atas ini saat dia dikejar-kejar, difitnah, bahkan mungkin ditinggal orang terdekatnya. "Sekalipun ayahku dan ibuku meninggalkan aku", ini merupakan kalimat yang paling menyakitkan. Keluarga seharusnya jadi tempat paling aman. Tapi Daud berkata, bahkan tempat paling aman itu mengecewakan. Kalimat selanjutnya, "...namun TUHAN menyambut aku", itu merupakan kalimat yang meneguhkan dan menguatkan karena itu berarti Tuhan mengumpulkan, merangkul dan membawanya pulang. Mazmur ini mengajarkan kita bahwa pengharapan tidak boleh hanya ditaruh di tangan manusia tetapi di tangan Tuhan. Manusia bisa gagal, bisa pergi, bisa melukai. Tapi Tuhan tidak pernah. Dia selalu jadi rumah yang tidak pernah menolak kita pulang. Sebagai pengikut Yesus kita pasti pernah merasa "ditinggalkan", antara lain ditinggalkan orang. Teman yang unfollow karena kita beda pilihan. Keluarga yang tidak mendukung panggilan kita. Rekan kerja yang menikam dari belakang. Rasanya sakit. Tapi ingat, Tuhan menyambut kita. Dia tidak pernah meng-unfollow kita. Kita juga mungkin pernah ditinggalkan harapan. Doa belum dijawab, pintu kerja tertutup dan rencana gagal. Rasanya Tuhan diam, tetapi ternyata dia tetap "menyambut" artinya Dia tetap dekat. Dia peluk kita di tengah penantian kita. Kita juga mungkin pernah ditinggalkan diri sendiri. Kita kecewa pada diri sendiri sehingga kita berkata, "Aku gagal lagi". Tapi Tuhan berkata, "Aku tidak meninggalkan kamu. Aku mengumpulkan kepingan harapanmu satu persatu." Sebagai pengikut Yesus, kita dipanggil juga untuk menjadi "tangan Tuhan yang menyambut". Ketika melihat rekan kerja yang dikucilkan, murid yang diabaikan, keluarga yang kesepian, jadilah rumah bagi mereka, karena kita sudah lebih dahulu disambut Tuhan. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, terima kasih karena Engkau tidak pernah meninggalkan aku. Ampunilah aku kalau aku sering mencari penerimaan di tempat yang salah. Hari ini aku mau pulang dan berlindung dalam pelukan-Mu. Pakailah aku juga untuk menyambut orang-orang di sekitarku yang merasa ditinggalkan. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 12 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Tetapi segera Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tenang! Aku ini, jangan takut!" (Matius 14:27)Renungan: Pada tahun 1993, Nelson Mandela baru 3 tahun keluar dari penjara setelah 27 tahun dipenjara di Afrika Selatan. Negaranya sedang di ujung tanduk. Kulit putih takut kehilangan kuasa. Kulit hitam marah dan mau membalas dendam. Perang saudara hampir meledak setiap hari. Semua penasihatnya berkata, "Pakai kekuatan dan balas. Amankan posisi dulu." Tapi Mandela masuk ke ruangannya, berdoa, lalu mengambil keputusan yang membuat dunia kaget. Dia undang mantan sipir penjaranya makan siang di istana. Dia membentuk "Komisi Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi". Dia memilih mengampuni daripada membalas. Ketika ia ditanya mengapa berani ambil risiko sebesar itu, dia menjawab, "Saya sudah 27 tahun hidup dalam ketakutan dan kebencian. Saat saya keluar dari penjara, saya sadar kalau saya tidak melepaskan itu, maka saya masih di dalam penjara." Mandela memilih tenang di tengah badai, karena dia percaya ada panggilan yang lebih besar daripada rasa takutnya. Bacaan Injil di atas terjadi saat murid-murid ada di tengah danau Galilea. Angin kencang, ombak besar dan perahu hampir tenggelam. Mereka melihat "sesuatu" jalan di atas air dan berteriak ketakutan, mengira itu adalah hantu. Di titik paling panik itu, Yesus datang. Kalimat pertama-Nya bukan, "Aku akan meredakan badai", tetapi kalimat pertama-Nya adalah, "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!" Yesus dalam hal ini mau mengingatkan bahwa sebelum Ia membereskan masalah kita, ketahuilah dulu siapa yang ada bersama kita. Badai boleh tetap ada. Tapi kalau "Aku ini" ada di perahu, maka kita tidak akan tenggelam. "Danau" kita saat ini mungkin berbeda, tetapi ombaknya sama kencang, yaitu pertama badai Ketidakpastian, contohnya dalam hal kerja, ekonomi, masa depan dll. Kita seperti para murid melihat gelombang, bukan melihat Yesus. Yesus berkata, 'Tenanglah! Aku pegang kendali hidupmu." Kedua badai hubungan. Ada luka, kecewa, pengkhianatan dll. Godaannya adalah kita mau membalas atau menghindar. Mandela mengajar kita memilih tenang dan memilih pengampunan, karena ada Yesus bersama kita. Ketiga badai batin. Ada kecemasan, kegagalan dan merasa tidak cukup. Kita berteriak dalam hati. Yesus datang dan berkata hal yang sama, "Tenanglah! Aku ini. Kamu tidak sendirian. Kita sering meminta Tuhan membereskan badainya dulu baru kita tenang. Tapi Tuhan minta kita percaya dulu bahwa Dia ada, barulah kita bisa tenang di tengah badai. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang sering lebih fokus pada badai daripada kehadiran-Mu. Hari ini aku mau mendengar suara-Mu: "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!" Mampukan aku seperti Mandela, untuk tidak dikuasai takut dan benci. Peganglah tanganku di tengah gelombang hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Sabtu, 11 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Janganlah kamu menghakimi, maka kamu pun tidak akan dihakimi. Dan janganlah kamu menghukum, maka kamu pun tidak akan dihukum; ampunilah dan kamu akan diampuni." (Lukas 6:37)Renungan: Pada tahun 1947, Corrie ten Boom baru bebas dari kamp konsentrasi Nazi. Keluarganya dibunuh karena menyembunyikan orang Yahudi. Suatu hari setelah perang, ada seorang pria datang ke KKR yang dia pimpin. Pria itu dulu adalah penjaga kamp tempat adik Corrie meninggal. Dia ulurkan tangan dan berkata: "Bisakah anda mengampuni saya?" Sekujur tubuh Corrie kaku. Ingatan tentang adiknya, tentang kamar gas, semua kembali. Dalam hati dia berteriak: "Tuhan, aku tidak bisa!" Lalu dia berdoa singkat: "Yesus, tolong aku." Dan dengan kekuatan dari Tuhan, dia menjabat tangan pria itu. Air matanya jatuh. Beberapa tahun kemudian Corrie menulis: "Pengampunan adalah tindakan kehendak, bukan perasaan. Begitu kita mau mengampuni, Tuhan yang memberi rasa damainya." Ada tiga perintah yang saling terkait dalam bacaan Injil di atas. Pertama, "Janganlah kamu menghakimi" Berhentilah menjadi hakim atas hidup orang lain. Kita tidak tahu semua cerita di balik kesalahan orang tersebut. Kedua, "Janganlah kamu menghukum". Berhentilah membalas. Jangan memenjarakan orang dengan perkataan dan sikap dingin kita. Ketiga, "Ampunilah dan kamu akan diampuni". Inilah kuncinya. Ukuran pengampunan kita ke orang sama dengan ukuran pengampunan Tuhan ke kita. Yesus tidak berkata "lupakan kejahatan". Dia berkata "ampunilah". Orang yang terus menghakimi dan tidak mengampuni, dia yang paling tersiksa duluan. Corrie bisa menjabat tangan musuhnya bukan karena dia kuat. Tapi karena dia memilih taat dulu pada Tuhan, baru kemudian Tuhan memberinya kekuatan. Hari ini Yesus bertanya ke kita: "Ada nama siapa yang masih kau tahan di hatimu untuk diampuni?" Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku karena sering cepat menghakimi dan lambat mengampuni. Hari ini aku mau taat pada firman-Mu. Aku memilih mengampuni (sebutkan nama orang).... Isilah hatiku dengan kasih-Mu supaya aku bisa membebaskan orang lain, dan aku pun dibebaskan. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Jumat, 10 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Tetapi Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tidak perlu mereka pergi, kamu harus memberi mereka makan." (Matius 14:16)Renungan: Suatu kali di sebuah komplek perumahan terjadi kebanjiran. Air masuk ke rumah warga. Semua panik. Ada ibu-ibu bawa anak kecil, ada kakek yang tidak bisa jalan. Di grup RT langsung ramai. Ada yang bilang: "Lapor kelurahan aja", "Tunggu bantuan datang", "Kita kan tidak punya perahu". Semuanya punya alasan kenapa "tidak bisa" bergerak sekarang. Tiba-tiba Pak RT ambil ember, galon kosong, dan teriak: "Yang bisa berenang, ikut saya! Kita evakuasi dulu yang anak kecil dan lansia. Soal makan nanti kita pikir bareng." Warga yang tadinya diam jadi ikut. Ada yang masak mie di pos ronda, ada yang buka dapur, ada yang kumpulin pakaian layak pakai. Sore itu semua warga selamat dan dapat makan. Bantuan dari kelurahan baru datang malam. Pak RT bilang, "Kalau kita menunggu bantuan dulu, orang bisa keburu lapar dan kedinginan. Kasih dulu apa yang kita punya." Peristiwa dalam Injil Matius 14:16 terjadi saat 5000 orang kelaparan di tempat yang sepi. Para murid melihat masalahnya besar dan mereka memberikan jalan keluar dengan berkata, "Suruh mereka pergi, supaya mereka dapat mencari makan sendiri." Pola pikir mereka adalah, "Masalah terlalu besar. Bukan kapasitas saya. Biar orang lain." Tetapi Yesus mengingatkan mereka dengan berkata, "Tidak perlu mereka pergi, kamu yang harus memberi mereka makan." Yesus tidak minta mereka mencetak uang atau buka supermarket. Dia minta mereka menyerahkan apa yang ada pada mereka, dalam hal ini 5 roti 2 ikan. Hasilnya? Semua kenyang, bahkan sisa 12 bakul. Sebagai pengikut Yesus terkadang saat ada orang yang membutuhkan pertolongan kita berkata, "Tidak bisa. Tidak cukup. Bukan urusan saya. Sudah ada pemerintah biar mereka yang menangani." Hari ini Tuhan mengingatkan kita bahwa hal kecil yang kita lakukan dengan ketulusan hati, maka akan menjadi berkat yang luar biasa. Mari kita belajar untuk percaya bahwa Tuhan kita Yesus Kristus lebih besar dari masalah yang ada di sekitar kita. Kalau kita percaya penuh pada-Nya maka akan selalu ada jalan keluar untuk setiap permasalahan yang ada di sekitar kita atau yang kita alami. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku kalau selama ini aku cepat berkata "tidak bisa" dan menyuruh orang lain pergi. Buka mataku untuk melihat kebutuhan di sekitarku dan ajarilah aku agar mau memberi dulu apa yang ada di tanganku: waktu, harta, tenaga, dan kasih. Pakailah aku untuk jadi jawaban doa bagi sesama. Amin. (Dod).

Soren Monroe-Anderson grew up racing FPV drones before turning that obsession into Neros, a defense startup building low-cost, high-volume drone systems for the United States and its allies. What began with prototypes in a basement has become a 200-person company producing roughly 1,000 drones a week, with plans to build a factory capable of making one million annually. The timing is difficult to ignore. Small drones have become one of the defining weapons of the war in Ukraine, China holds a massive production advantage and the Pentagon is now trying to catch up in a category it was slow to take seriously. We get into why so many American drones failed in Ukraine, what separates a good demo from a battlefield-ready product, and why Soren believes the next generation of weapons will look more like consumer electronics than traditional defense systems. We also discuss the limits of autonomy, the difficulty of manufacturing at scale, and the moral weight of building kinetic systems. We cover: The widening drone production gap between the United States and China What Ukraine has taught Neros about battlefield performance, tactics, and product design Why scaling from prototypes to one million drones a year is an entirely different engineering problem Where autonomy helps, where it breaks, and why human pilots still matter How Soren thinks about talent, focus, capital, and the ethics of building weapons • Chapters • 00:00 – Plants at the factory 00:55 – Strawberry jam on a drone 04:45 – Soren's and Olaf's background 07:28 – First meeting with the DoD 08:54 – The key to Soren's early success 10:00 – How do you push the boundaries of a small drone? 11:39 – The most successful technology in Ukraine 13:45 – The future of warfare 15:09 – Chinese vs. US drone manufacturing capabilities 18:42 – Neros's facility and current production process 20:30 – What surprised Soren about building Neros 22:06 – How Soren thinks about competing in a well-funded market 23:50 – What makes the talent side so challenging 27:05 – Revenue concentration 28:12 – Are defense tech companies living up to their promises? 30:19 – Nervous or excited about the changing investor in defense tech? 32:12 – $120M raised and future capital needs in the near term 33:19 – Would Neros expand beyond drones? 34:22 – Where the primes fit in with manufacturing drones 36:30 – How Neros views AI in their products 41:41 – From professional drone racer to CEO 43:23 – Key players early on in Neros 45:28 – Does Soren still build drones or is he more focused on running Neros? 47:07 – Cultivating company culture 48:46 – Wrestling with building lethal systems 50:21 – Soren's health scare 51:28 – The morality critics on drone warfare 54:17 – How can the US win the drone production race? 55:45 – What keeps Soren up at night? 56:51 – Advice Soren would give to himself 58:05 – Factory of the future 59:31 – What Soren does for fun   • Show notes • Neros' website — https://www.neros.tech/ Soren's' socials — https://x.com/soren_ma Mo's socials — https://x.com/itsmoislam Payload's socials — https://x.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspace Ignition's socials — https://x.com/ignitionnuclear /  https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/ Tectonic's socials  — https://x.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/ Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us • Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.  Brought to you by Arkaea Media, the team behind Payload (space), Ignition (nuclear energy), Decoding Bio (biotech) and Tectonic (defense tech), this show goes beyond headlines and hype.

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Kamis, 9 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Hidup dan mati dikuasai lidah, siapa suka menggemakannya, akan memakan buahnya." (Amsal 18:21)Renungan: Suatu hari seorang istri mengeluh karena minggu ini ia terlalu lelah. Kerjaan menumpuk, anak rewel minta ditemenin belajar. Suaminya pulang kerja terus rebahan main HP. Tanpa sadar ia kesal dan berkata kepada suaminya: "Kamu sih tahunya cuma enak-enak rebahan. Gak pernah mikirin rumah ini!" Suaminya pun diam. Malam itu suasana rumah menjadi dingin. Dua hari kemudian giliran ia yang sakit. Anak-anak yang biasanya deket dengannya menjadi takut karena melihat papa mamanya tegang. Ia pun tersadar. Satu kalimat emosinya malam itu "mematikan" suasana rumah selama dua hari. Padahal kalau ia bilang: "Pa, aku capek. Boleh tolong temenin anak belajar 30 menit?" pasti jawabannya berbeda. Amsal 18:21 ini berisi peringatan keras dari Raja Salomo tentang kuasa dari kata-kata: "Hidup dan mati dikuasai lidah". Di rumah, lidah kita bisa jadi sumber kehidupan atau sumber kematian. Dengan kata-kata kita bisa menghidupkan semangat pasangan, menguatkan anak yang gagal, memberkati keluarga. Tapi dengan kata-kata juga kita bisa melukai hati pasangan, mematikan semangat anak, dan merusak keharmonisan rumah. Rumah tangga kita adalah cermin dari apa yang sering kita ucapkan. Suka mengeluh, maka rumah penuh keluhan. Suka mengucap syukur dan menguatkan, maka rumah penuh damai. Keluarga adalah tempat pertama kita latihan memakai lidah. Tiga hal yang bisa kita latih mulai saat ini: 1. Ganti kritik dengan permintaan. Dari perkataan, "Aku sibuk, jadi lupa" menjadi "Sayang, boleh tolong ingetin aku ya" 2. Perbanyak kata penguat untuk anak. Perkataan, "Mama bangga kamu sudah berusaha", lebih menghidupkan daripada "Nilainya kok segitu-segitu aja".3. Doa berkat sebelum tidur. Ucapkan satu kalimat berkat untuk tiap anggota keluarga. Itu seperti menyiram tanaman di rumah. Ingat, anak-anak kita tidak akan ingat seberapa rapi rumah kita. Tapi mereka akan ingat: "Di rumah ini, kata-kata apa yang paling sering ia dengar." Tuhan Yesus memberkati. DOA:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku kalau selama ini lidahku sering melukai orang-orang yang paling aku kasihi di rumah. Ajarilah aku menjadi pembawa damai di tengah keluargaku. Berikan hikmat supaya setiap kata yang keluar dari mulutku adalah kata yang membangun, menguatkan, dan memberkati. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Rabu, 8 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Janganlah kamu kalah terhadap kejahatan, tetapi kalahkanlah kejahatan dengan kebaikan!" (Roma 12:21)Renungan: Suatu kali ada seorang teman guru dari sekolah lain bercerita bahwa di grup WA orang tua murid, ada 1 orang tua yang tiba-tiba menyerang kebijakan sekolah. Kata-katanya pedas, menuduh, bahkan menyeret nama guru. Tangannya gatal mau membalas. Mau sekalian "membongkar" juga keburukan dia. Tapi ia menahan diri. Ia menarik napas, lalu mulai menjawab: "Terima kasih sudah peduli. Boleh kita bicara 4 mata? Saya rindu mendengar masukannya langsung." Anehnya, dua hari kemudian dia chat pribadi dan minta maaf. Katanya dia malu sendiri karena direspon dengan baik. Baru sadar ternyata "melawan api dengan air" itu benar-benar bisa memadamkan. Roma 12:21 ini ditulis oleh Paulus kepada jemaat di Roma yang hidup di tengah tekanan, fitnah, dan perlakuan tidak adil. Dunia berkata: "Lawan dan sakiti orang yang menyakitimu. Tapi Tuhan bilang: "Jangan kalah terhadap kejahatan. Kalahkan kejahatan dengan kekebaikan." Kata "kalahkan" di sini bukan berarti kita jadi lemah. Justru butuh kekuatan besar untuk tidak membalas. Kebaikan adalah senjata yang mematahkan lingkaran kebencian. Kita hidup saat ini di era yang cepat tersulut: Di media sosial, satu komentar jahat dibalas 10 komentar lebih jahat. Di rumah, satu kata ketus dibalas dengan membentak. Di kantor/sekolah, satu gosip dibalas dengan menjatuhkan. Tuhan hari ini menguji kita: Mau jadi pemadam atau penambah api? Mungkin kita tidak bisa mengubah karakter orang yang buruk. Tapi kita bisa memilih untuk tidak jadi sama seperti dia. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, sering kali aku kalah terhadap amarah dan keinginan membalas. Hari ini ajarilah aku untuk meneladani-Mu yang membalas kejahatan dengan pengampunan. Berilah aku kekuatan untuk mengalahkan kejahatan dengan kebaikan, mulai dari rumahku, sekolahku, dan lingkunganku. Pakailah hidupku menjadi alat damai-Mu. Amin. (Dod).

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Selasa, 7 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Manusia itu menjawab: 'Perempuan yang Kautempatkan di sisiku, dialah yang memberi dari buah pohon itu kepadaku, maka kumakan.'" (Kejadian 3:12)Renungan: Suatu kali Anna ditegur atasan karena laporan keuangan telat. Anna sebenarnya yang salah karena ia lupa mengingatkan tim. Tapi apa jawaban pertama Anna? "Pak, si Yordan yang pegang datanya. Saya sudah bilang kok, tapi dia tidak kirim-kirim." Selesai bicara Anna menjadi lega. Rasanya beban pindah ke Yordan. Malamnya barulah Anna sadar. Ia baru saja melakukan hal yang sama seperti Adam di taman Eden. Menyalahkan orang lain supaya ia tidak terlihat salah. Kejadian 3:12 ini terjadi sesaat setelah Adam dan Hawa makan buah terlarang. Tuhan datang dan bertanya. Seharusnya ini momen pertobatan. Tapi lihat jawaban Adam. Pertama, ia menyalahkan Tuhan dengan berkata, "Perempuan yang Kautempatkan di sisiku." Seolah Tuhan yang salah kasih pasangan. Kedua, ia menyalahkan orang lain, "Dialah yang memberi dari buah pohon itu kepadaku, maka kumakan. " Adam tidak berani bertanggung jawab dalam hal ini. Dosa pertama manusia bukan hanya tidak taat pada perintah Tuhan. Dosa pertama juga "tidak mau mengakui salah". Dari taman Eden sampai kantor, rumah, dan sekolah kita hari ini, polanya sama. Hati kita lebih memilih membela diri daripada jujur di hadapan Tuhan dan sesama. Di zaman sekarang kita punya 1001 cara untuk "melempar kesalahan": "Grup WA yang tidak dibaca, sinyal jelek, anak yang rewel, pasangan yang tidak mengerti, sistem yang ribet dsb." Tapi Tuhan hari ini mengajak kita untuk berhenti jadi "Adam". Keberanian berkata "Tuhan, aku salah" adalah awal pemulihan. Di keluarga: minta maaf dulu sebelum menjelaskan. Di kantor: akui bagian kita sebelum menunjuk orang. Di hadapan Tuhan: buka hati apa adanya, jangan berdalih. Ingatlah, Tuhan tidak mencari orang yang sempurna. Tuhan mencari orang yang jujur dan mau diperbaiki. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, Ampuni aku yang sering seperti Adam. Lebih cepat menyalahkan orang lain daripada mengakui kesalahanku sendiri. Amin. (Dod).

Send us Fan MailMichael Kloepper, former commander of the 173rd Airborne Brigade and current Brigade Tactical Officer at the United States Military Academy, joins Joe to explore leadership, readiness, and the responsibility to pass hard-earned lessons to the next generation.This episode examines what it means for a generation of leaders shaped by more than two decades of war to “empty the rucksack” before leaving the Army. Michael reflects on the urgency he and many of his peers feel to pass on what they learned through success, failure, command, and combat so future generations do not have to repeat the same mistakes.Colonel Kloepper also shares how his experiences in battalion and brigade command shaped his views on mental, physical, and spiritual readiness. Rather than simply pointing soldiers toward more resources, he believes leaders and chains of command have a responsibility to create healthier organizations. He explains how programs built around outdoor challenges, shared hardship, reflection, and time with teammates helped reduce high-risk behavior while strengthening trust and readiness.Joe and Michael also discuss:Why learning organizations must do more than collect informationWhy leaders should invest in people before problems occur instead of only responding afterwardHow shared challenges and time outdoors can strengthen teams and reduce destructive behaviorWhy people fight for what they believe inWhy accessibility matters, especially when information is not moving through the chain of commandThe difference between highlighting problems and becoming a reactionary leaderWhy presence remains one of the most important qualities of leadershipWhat lieutenants and captains should understand about character, toughness, command authority, and exampleWhat Mike has learned from leading and developing cadets at West PointThis episode is for leaders who want to build stronger organizations, invest more deeply in their people, and pass hard-earned lessons forward. It is also for veterans reflecting on what their service meant, commanders trying to create healthier teams, and anyone who believes leadership begins with presence, trust, and the willingness to stand alongside people when things are hard.Watch the interview on YouTubeA special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.

Foals are especially vulnerable in their first months of life. Think about the first time you met a newborn foal—did you know it takes both knowledge and experience to protect them well? In this podcast, we'll dive into three of the top challenges horse owners face with foals just after birth to a few months old. This isn't a complete list, so remember, teaming up with a seasoned professional will always help you stay ahead of problems. I picked these three foal problems because they're common—and, good news, they're all preventable! Imagine welcoming a new foal into the world. Suddenly, you learn that one of the biggest risks it faces is failure of passive transfer (FPT). This can happen if the foal does not drink the mare's first milk within 24 hours of birth. Or, it may occur if the mare's milk leaks out before birth. The resulting weak immune system leaves your foal vulnerable to everyday germs. Illness and even death can follow. Have you ever noticed a foal with diarrhea? It's a common issue, with several possible causes. Diet is usually to blame, but sometimes more serious issues are at play. Have you ever noticed a foal struggling to walk, or perhaps heard about issues like contracted tendons, angular limb deformities, or epiphysitis? In addition to infection and digestive concerns, these developmental orthopedic diseases (DOD) are conditions I often see when I'm called to work on the mare's teeth. The good news is that these issues are almost always diet-related and preventable. ******************************* #horses #veterinary #horseteeth #horsecare #equinedentistry Join us at The Horses Advocate Community page: https://community.thehorsesadvocate.com/yt Dentistry: https://theequinepractice.com/ Horsemanship Dentistry School: https://www.horsemanshipdentistryschool.com/c/information/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TheHorsesAdvocate Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/horsesadvocate/ Geoff Tucker is a veterinarian and horseman who has worked with horses since 1973. He earned his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Cornell University in 1984. Over the years, Geoff went from mucking stalls as a farmhand to starting his own equine practice. This journey helped him learn how to blend medical care with good horsemanship. Geoff believes in doing what is best for the horse and also in working with the horse. While at Cornell, he started the Cornell Student Horseman's Association, which organized talks with local experts, a knowledge competition called the Intercollegiate Horse Bowl, and Foal Watch at the Equine Research Park to help with live foal deliveries. Wanting to educate horse owners even more, Geoff also launched the first "I Love New York Horse Symposium," which drew 500 people from across the northeast. Geoff also worked at the Equine Isolation Lab alongside respected colleagues, including Dr. Coggins, whose name is on the well-known test. He worked both part-time and full-time at Cornell's Equine Research Park. On graduation day in 1984, while his classmates celebrated, Geoff drove his fully stocked vet truck to his first call—a sick foal. This marked the beginning of The Finger Lakes Equine Practice, which still operates today. Geoff sold the practice in 1996, worked for a short time at another clinic near Albany, NY, and then started The Equine Practice, focusing on equine dentistry. He continues this work from his base in South Florida. Geoff worked on his first horse's teeth in 1983, when his mentor showed him how to place his hand inside a horse's mouth without medication and rasp off the offending sharp points. He was hooked from the start and made dentistry a key part of his practice. Since then, he has examined the mouths of over 84,000 horses across the United States - yes, he's been counting.

Out Of This World Video: https://bit.ly/444RzKs The White House has just released a massive number of previously top-secret videos and documents from the DIA, CIA, FBI, and DOD – all related to UFOs. In our preceding UFO episode, we replayed popular episodes on the topic from the recent past. BUT this episode is entirely NEW. Anuradha and I welcome our esteemed guest, Maria Barnes, to our microphone. Longtime film/video producer, director, and writer; college professor; author of several books; podcaster, and many other things, Maria has her own unique theory about extraterrestrials that you will definitely want to hear. We mention the Drake Equation which describes the overwhelming mathematical probability that intelligent life should exist elsewhere in the universe. https://bit.ly/4gevn7N We also mention the famous psychanalyst Carl Jung's 1958 book, “Flying Saucers: A Modern Myth of Things Seen in the Skies” On Amazon: https://bit.ly/4wgcV3w . Jung believed that after the 1947 “Roswell Incident” we socially projected UFO delusions upon ourselves in the wake of the existential threat of the cold war and possible sudden annihilation.

Start your free trial at https://account.trainheroic.com/create-accountWhat we get into:Coach pay comes first. The DOD is on track to become the largest employer of strength and conditioning professionals in the world, which means contracting companies will be too. The contracting model is a race to the bottom on price, with staff salaries absorbing the cuts. That has to change.The five pillars get a rebrand — move, eat, think, recover, connect. Why dropping a dedicated spiritual pillar doesn't mean spirituality doesn't matter — it just means it's woven into everything else.Branding and marketing are undervalued. Embedded human performance has to compete for attention in a way that S1 never does. Drew's pitch: hand the whole thing to an ad agency and see what happens.The personal services contract problem, explained plainly. Coaches meet every FAR criterion for personal services but get treated as non-personal services. Cleaning this up would mean better pay, better working conditions, and actually being able to choose who you hire.GS billets for lead coaches — at minimum the lead strength coach and athletic trainer should be government employees with real career progression, same pay grade as the PT and dietitian.The coach-NCO relationship. Coaches exist to transport people from A to B — that's literally where the word comes from: a 15th century Hungarian horse-drawn carriage. Some coaches are getting fired for leading PT sessions. That's insane.Extender courses are teaching the wrong things. Periodization and physiology when people actually need interpersonal skills and session flow management.Data — stop making it the mission. Just watch what happens to the numbers that justified these programs in the first place.Wearables — a closet full of devices, service members pick what they like, a small subset of data flows to the HP team for trend monitoring and outlier detection, nobody touches a custom military interface.Policy — the Randolph Sheppard Act of 1936 and military dining, credentialing through MTFs vs operational leadership, and why language in DODI 1308.03 may have killed the original ACFT.Mentioned in this episode:Ben Bergeron — move, eat, think, recover, connect frameworkKat Oswald — recent podcast guest, helped implement the five factors at Alex's day jobRachel Chamberlain — community-based blueprinting, podcast appearance incomingDODI 1308.3 — DOD physical fitness and body composition program instructionRandolph Shepherd Act, 1936 — federal law governing vending and dining on government propertyLong and Strong — the Mops and Moes training program on TrainHeroic Views expressed are those of the speakers and do not represent any official organization.

Shaping a government solicitation before the RFP drops is one of the most powerful competitive moves a small business can make and in this episode, Ryan Atencio walks through a live sources sought response strategy designed to nudge an active DoD training requirement toward a small business set-aside on Seaport Next Generation. This is real BD strategy in action, not theory. How to structure a sources sought response that recommends minimum requirements, acquisition strategy, and contract type all designed to eliminate low-price technically acceptable (LPTA) races to the bottom and filter out unqualified competitors Why joint venturing with the large business incumbent before the solicitation drops is the smartest teaming play a small business can make, and how to position that JV as a zero-risk transition solution for the contracting officer The staffing and recruiting mindset that drives wins in professional services contracting why putting the right people in seats is the only skill that truly matters for service contract capture How to use past performance from elite DoD customers like Naval Special Warfare (SEAL Teams) to build confidence with risk-averse contracting officers who hate change Why Eric prices every bid as if it is LPTA regardless of contract type and how that discipline keeps him competitive even when best-value trade-off evaluations are in play EPISODE CHAPTERS: 0:00 - Introducing Mindy AI and the federal research gap 0:30 - Welcome to the Federal Help Center podcast 0:52 - Seaport NxG strategy to cut out LPTA competition 1:20 - Why staffing and recruiting wins all service contracts 1:50 - Using elite past performance to build contracting officer confidence 2:48 - Why customers want the incumbent and how to neutralize that 3:17 - Joint venturing with T3i as a zero-risk transition play 4:17 - Writing industry recommendations that shape the requirement 5:14 - Pushing the set-aside, contract type, and NAICS strategy 5:39 - Pricing everything like LPTA even on best-value awards 6:36 - Adding specialized capabilities like UAS and pyro to the requirement 8:03 - Firm fixed price versus time and materials risk explained 9:55 - Final thoughts on small business set-aside advantages Mindy gives you the federal opportunities, agency signals, recompete intel, and pursuit briefs that tell you not just what contracts exist, but which ones to chase and how to win them.

Send us Fan MailSteven Pressfield, bestselling author of Gates of Fire, the War of Art, A Man at Arms, and The Arcadian, joins Joe to explore writing, resistance, and the soldier's long search for peace.This episode examines the story behind The Arcadian, Pressfield's latest novel featuring Telamon, a warrior cursed to live lifetime after lifetime as a soldier. Steve shares how the seed for the book began with a quote from Empedocles that he carried with him for more than forty years before finally discovering the story it was meant to become.Steve and Joe discuss why the idea of a cursed soldier resonates so deeply, especially with those who have served. Telamon's journey is not just a story about war, exile, or violence. It is about the burden many people carry, the search for redemption, and the hope that we can become something more than the roles we have played for so long.Steve also reflects on losing his home in the Palisades fire while working on the book and how writing became a refuge during that difficult season. What could have become another form of resistance instead became proof of the very ideas he has spent decades teaching: that the work can save us, steady us, and call us back to ourselves.Joe and Steve also discuss:The connection between soldiers, exile, redemption, and the search for peaceWhy “life is warfare and a journey far from home”Why animals and children often carry the divine in storiesWhy great stories often begin with the question “What if?”What it means to start over, kill the ego, and become an apprentice againWhy Steve believes nearly every great story is, in some way, a redemption storyThis episode is for anyone who has carried a burden longer than they expected, walked away from a life that once defined them, or wondered whether peace is possible after years of fighting. It is also for writers, leaders, veterans, and readers who believe that stories can help us make sense of exile, suffering, hope, and the long road home.Watch the full interview on YouTubeA special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.

    Few careers in military medicine trace an arc as wide as that of CAPT (Ret) Kimberly Elenberg, DNP, RN. In this episode she sits down with WarDocs to map a journey that began as an ROTC cadet who joined because she saw students rappelling down a building in Philadelphia, and that has since carried her from the bedside at Walter Reed Army Medical Center to the role of principal investigator on a Carnegie Mellon University team competing in the DARPA Triage Challenge. Along the way she changed uniforms, disciplines, and altitudes of responsibility, but never lost the thread that ties it all together: people first, and the relationships that make hard things possible.     CAPT (Ret) Elenberg describes how early mentors shaped her. Colonel Graham showed her that putting people first is a practice, not a slogan. Major McGee backed her instinct for innovation, and as a young nurse on Ward 51 she built one of the first patient education centers in a military treatment facility, learned to set up networks and hardware, and pursued nursing informatics before the field was common. She recounts moving to research at NIH, where her work on TPA for clearing central line catheters was later adopted as best clinical practice, and her decision to volunteer as an EMT and medic so she would understand field medicine as well as hospital medicine.       From there the conversation follows her into the U.S. Public Health Service, where after 9/11 the Surgeon General asked her to help build the nation's deployable response teams from concept to operation, training them in real communities facing real crises. She explains how anthrax and zoonotic disease drew public health into agriculture and food security, how her long relationship with Carnegie Mellon's Auton Lab began with a bus trip and a phone call, and how that mathematical grounding in probabilistic modeling resurfaced when she was asked to model the effects of policy during COVID and, later, to track military security assistance flowing to Ukraine.     The episode closes on the present and the future: autonomous triage payloads that can read a casualty's physiological state without touching them, robotic snakes that might pack non-compressible hemorrhage, swarms of drones and ground robots that find the wounded and feed the right information to the right echelon. Throughout, CAPT (Ret) Elenberg returns to her core lessons — trust your chain of command, define what success really looks like, build on small wins, and never limit yourself to your military occupational specialty. From an orphanage and a food-service background to teaching at the National Defense University, hers is a story about doors held open and relationships that endure. Chapters (00:54-07:11) From Rappelling Cadet to Innovating Army Nurse (07:11-16:48) Building the Nation's Public Health Response Teams (16:48-22:24) Biosurveillance Modeling COVID and Ukraine Aid (22:24-32:32) The Power of Relationships Across a Career (32:32-37:37) Autonomy Confidence and Knowing When to Explore (37:37-51:33) The DARPA Triage Challenge and Lessons That Last Chapter Summaries (00:54-07:11) From Rappelling Cadet to Innovating Army Nurse The guest traces her start as an ROTC cadet drawn in by students rappelling down a Philadelphia building, her commissioning as an Army nurse, and her first duty station at Walter Reed Army Medical Center. Early mentors, including Colonel Graham and Major McGee, taught her that people truly come first and backed her instinct for innovation. On Ward 51 she built one of the first patient education centers in a military treatment facility while teaching herself websites, networking, and nursing informatics.   (07:11-16:48) Building the Nation's Public Health Response Teams Her NIH research on TPA for central line catheters was later adopted as best clinical practice, and she volunteered as an EMT and medic to learn field medicine. After moving to the U.S. Public Health Service for family stability, she answered the Surgeon General's call following 9/11 to build the nation's deployable response teams from concept to operation. Anthrax and zoonotic disease pulled public health into agriculture and food security across the federal enterprise.   (16:48-22:24) Biosurveillance Modeling COVID and Ukraine Aid Tasked to advise on detecting events and discerning intent, she leaned into probabilistic modeling and a long relationship with Carnegie Mellon's Auton Lab that began with a bus trip and a phone call. As Director of Population Health at the Defense Health Agency she modeled total force fitness, then was asked to model the effects of policy during COVID rather than the disease itself. The work forced coordination across agencies, departments, and services on a scale not seen since World War II.   (22:24-32:32) The Power of Relationships Across a Career Describing herself as an introvert, she explains why relationships are the engine of accomplishment, recalling a Ranger literally pushing her up a mountain during advanced camp after a car accident. Those bonds endured and resurfaced decades later in Texas during the DARPA Triage work. She recounts retiring out of Poland after 28 years, where she stood up a secure network to coordinate 26 non-doctrinal partners supporting aid to Ukraine.   (32:32-37:37) Autonomy Confidence and Knowing When to Explore She makes the case for military service as a path to clinical autonomy and the chance to think, decide, and do research that civilian roles often do not allow. She reflects on how to know when to pursue a new opportunity: trust your chain of command, negotiate and listen when you are the one in charge, and act on principles of doing no harm. Confidence, she says, means not being afraid to fail.   (37:37-51:33) The DARPA Triage Challenge and Lessons That Last She gives a plain-language tour of her team's autonomous triage work — payloads that read physiological state without touching a casualty, visual reasoning models tempered by Bayesian rigor, and platforms that deliver the right information to each echelon. Using a DoD-wide tobacco policy as a case study, she explains the art of the doable and building success on small wins. She closes with advice on confidence, integrity, and holding doors open for the next generation.   Take Home Messages Cross disciplines to scale care: The greatest gains often come from teaming up outside your own specialty. Pairing clinical insight with engineering, informatics, and operations lets a single provider extend capability and capacity far beyond what one profession can deliver alone. People first is a practice, not a slogan: Leaders who genuinely put people first earn the trust that makes hard missions possible. The example of a leader who recognized her team while facing her own serious illness shows that the principle is proven in action, not in words. Relationships are the engine of accomplishment: No one knows everything, and progress depends on the people willing to push you up the mountain. Networks built early endure for decades and can be called on when the mission needs them most. Define what success really looks like: Insisting on the perfect outcome can stall progress entirely; agreeing on the art of the doable moves the mission forward. Real success is often a series of small wins that build on one another over time. Confidence means not being afraid to fail: Growth lives outside the comfort zone, and everyone fails sometimes. Acting with honesty, integrity, and your best effort each day — then trusting tomorrow brings another chance — is what builds lasting confidence.

The Department of Energy is kickstarting a quantum computing effort tied to the Genesis Mission following a pair of quantum-focused executive orders signed by President Donald Trump on Monday. The newly launched Quantum Genesis initiative aims to develop and deploy a more resilient quantum computing capability by 2028. Darío Gil, under secretary for science and Genesis Mission lead, told FedScoop that the new initiative serves as a foundation for the charges Trump issued in his directives for “challenging America's quantum information science community and industry to build the world's first fault-tolerant quantum computing capability that will transform scientific discovery, strengthen national security, and power the next era of American innovation.” To reach that goal, DOE has three main priorities: set up a competition to accelerate quantum system development, conduct targeted research to advance high-impact, scientific quantum use cases, and build a supercomputing facility for engineers to access the new capabilities. The facility, along with DOE's existing high-performance computing systems and the Genesis Mission's in-progress American Science and Security Platform, will form a unified high-performance computing, AI and quantum computing ecosystem. The Pentagon's workforce shrank by roughly 10.7% during the height of the Trump administration's Department of Government Efficiency implementation efforts, according to a new report by the Government Accountability Office. That decrease represents 82,940 employees — from a baseline 778,188 civilian employees at the Defense Department in December 2024 near the end of the Biden administration, down to 695,248 in January 2026. Outlining governmentwide workforce contractions across 2025 that were sparked by multiple presidential directives, GAO's report offers a fresh, data-driven look at DOGE's downsizing impacts inside the Pentagon. It indicates that, while DOD remains America's largest employer of federal civilian personnel, the department's workforce is now substantially smaller in volume than it was in prior years. Dawn Locke, director with GAO's Strategic Issues team and lead on the review, told DefenseScoop: “A key takeaway for DOD is the role the Deferred Resignation Program played in the agency's efforts to reduce the size of its civilian workforce.” The Daily Scoop Podcast is available every Monday-Friday afternoon.

Send us Fan MailBrooke Taylor, author of Healing the Success Wound, joins Joe to explore the hidden pain that comes from mistaking achievement, productivity, and success for self-worth.This episode examines the “success wound,” the belief that our worth is tied to what we produce, accomplish, or achieve rather than who we are. Brooke shares her own story of growing up in Silicon Valley, chasing gold stars, working at Google, and realizing that external success could not fill the emptiness underneath. What looked impressive on the outside was, internally, driven by a deep need for approval, validation, and belonging.Brooke explains how high achievers often become trapped in a cycle of striving, proving, pleasing, hiding, or numbing. They keep reaching the next promotion, assignment, title, or milestone, only to find that the satisfaction never lasts. Over time, that pattern can lead to burnout, anxiety, substance abuse, chronic stress, and a distorted sense of identity.Joe and Brooke also discuss:Why achievement can become a substitute for self-worthThe difference between self-confidence and self-worthWhy many high performers are only as good as their last piece of feedbackThe five success wound archetypes: the grinder, the hider, the pleaser, the seeker, and the work-hard-play-hardHow military leaders can confuse identity with rank, role, branch, or assignmentWhy values are essential for making better career and life decisionsHow aligned ambition allows leaders to pursue meaningful work without being driven by fear, scarcity, or the need to prove themselvesThis episode is for anyone who has achieved the thing they thought would finally make them feel whole, only to realize the finish line moved again. It is also for leaders, professionals, parents, and high performers who want to understand what is driving their ambition, how to separate their worth from their work, and how to build a life and career from a place of alignment instead of anxiety.Watch the entire interview on YouTubeA special thanks to this week's sponsors!Dunedain Systems is a veteran-founded defense technology company building Warmind, an AI platform that accelerates military planning, operations, and document generation.
