Send us fan responses! Perfect credit is not the only way to get funded, and chasing “secret” documents won't save you if you can't show clean cash flow. We kick off with Dre's real progress, including how he climbed out of the 400s, learned what trade lines and utilization really do, and built enough confidence to teach the fundamentals back to other people.Then we get into the structure that makes lenders take you seriously: operating company versus holding company, why an LLC alone can still leave you exposed, and how private agreements change the game when you start moving money. We also walk through practical business credit building using net 30 vendor accounts, a DUNS number, and setting up a business address profile that matches your paperwork.The most important takeaway is the underwriting mindset. Alternative business lenders care about what hits your bank statements, how consistent your deposits are, and whether your invoices, receipts, and contracts can prove the story your transactions tell. If you want business funding, cash flow loans, merchant cash advance options, and a step-by-step path from credit repair to real approvals, this is the blueprint we use.Subscribe for more, share this with someone building from scratch, and leave a review with the one part you want us to break down next.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

On this episode of Diversified Game, Kellen Coleman sits down with the principal owner of Purnell Group Contractors, a commercial and post construction cleaning company he built from scratch in under a year, to break down how he found a recession resistant lane, why he refuses to compete on price, and how he and his wife Dominique run it as a husband and wife team.Jeff takes us from the University of Delaware to an HVAC apprenticeship in DC, into tech recruitment, into real estate, and finally into the cleaning industry that most people sleep on. We get into pricing jobs without going broke, vetting clients because all money is not good money, getting SBE certified with your DUNS and CAGE in hand, the ICE audit ready plans that big contracts now require, and where the next contract actually comes from.This is not a burn your life down podcast and there are no quick fixes here.

Sources sought responses are one of the most underused tools in federal contracting — and in this episode, Eric Coffey breaks down exactly how to use them to get your company noticed by the government decision makers who issue the contracts you want. If you've been ignoring sources sought notices because they're "not a real bid," this episode will change how you think about market research forever. In this power-packed session, Eric covers: Why sources sought is better than bidding — Responding puts your company directly in front of contracting officers for free, building rapport before the solicitation even drops What to include in your capability statement response — Company name, DUNS number, size standards, and at least three past performance examples similar to the requirement How to search SAM.gov more efficiently — Eric walks through downloading results into a Google Sheet to scroll and filter 500+ opportunities without wasting time The "stick and stay, segue and make deposits" mindset — Delivering with excellence on small contracts creates the relationships that lead to larger IDIQs and negotiated awards Why following instructions is non-negotiable — From font size to submission deadlines, contracting officers are liable for every award they sign, and they're watching to see who can follow the rules Market Intelligence 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 responses! Peace and love, we're checking in with the school and getting straight to what people actually want: what's changing, what's coming next, and how to move with structure instead of confusion. We talk through a major update on our publishing deal and why the books were pulled from Amazon, then we lay out the practical details for the Las Vegas weekend meetup and why we keep pushing real-life networking over online-only connections.From there, the live Q&A turns into a crash course on business credit building and entity setup. We answer beginner questions on DUNS numbers, net 30 accounts, and what a strong Paydex score is really tied to. We also dig into the basics of privacy-minded structuring, including how we think about an LLC, a holding company, a family office, and why trust roles matter if you're trying to avoid commingling and keep your personal name out of the spotlight.We then shift into higher-level “private life” topics: Palau ID and international identification, foreign status paperwork like the W-8BEN, and how we interpret legal definitions that separate “citizen” ideas from “national” framing. We finish with a tactical section on paying yourself through payroll (ADP or Gusto), tracking business activity, and exploring legitimate tax credits, plus a discussion on GAAP, securitization, and why we think credit reporting is often misunderstood as purely “consumer law.”If you got value from this, subscribe, share it with one person building business credit, and leave a review with the one topic you want us to break down next.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com
We often obsess over our personal credit scores, but how much thought do we give to our business credit? In this episode, I'm joined by Gerri Detweiler from Nav to demystify the world of business credit. We explore why most of us are in the dark about our business scores, how these scores impact our ability to secure supplier terms and loans, and the simple steps we can take to monitor and build a healthy financial profile for our businesses. Key Takeaways The Business Credit Gap: Unlike personal credit, there are no federal requirements for free annual business credit reports. Most of us don't even know our score exists until a loan application is denied. The Big Three Bureaus: We look at the major players Gerri mentions: Dun & Bradstreet (D&B), Equifax Commercial, and Experian Commercial. The Power of Terms: Paying our Net 30 supplier invoices on time isn't just good for the relationship—it's a primary way to build a positive credit history, as many suppliers report to the bureaus. Separating Personal from Business: While our personal credit often remains a factor for small businesses, establishing an LLC and obtaining an EIN and DUNS number are critical steps toward our financial independence. Hidden Use Cases: It's not just for loans! Business credit can affect our insurance premiums and our ability to land large commercial partnerships or retail distributions. The Debt Trap: Gerri explains the hidden cost of fast capital and provides resources to help us calculate the true APR of financing offers that might seem cheap on the surface.

Human Design 101: An Introduction to Understanding Your Energy In this episode of the Abundology Podcast, I am joined by Human Design Mentor Kandy Duns for a Human Design 101 conversation. We break down what Human Design actually is, where it comes from, and how it can be used as a practical tool for understanding yourself and how you are designed to move through the world. Human Design is a system that combines astrology, the I Ching, the chakra system, and quantum physics. Using your birth date, time, and place, it creates a personal blueprint that offers insight into how your energy works, how you make decisions, and how you interact with others. Kandy describes Human Design as “a big fat permission slip,” a way to stop judging yourself and start honoring how you are naturally wired. We talk about how Human Design can be used in real life, including relationships, parenting, and work with coworkers and employees. When you understand your own design and the designs of others, communication improves, expectations shift, and there is often much more compassion and ease. Kandy walks us through the five Human Design types: Generators, Manifesting Generators, Projectors, Manifestors, and Reflectors. She also explains the basics of strategy, authority, profile, gates, and what it means to have a single or split definition. Whether you are brand new to Human Design or already familiar with it, this episode offers an empowering perspective on using it as a tool for self understanding, alignment, and self trust. Kandy Duns is a Human Design, Self-Love and Self-Care Mentor who guides women back home to themselves through Human Design, intuition, and lived wisdom. She helps women understand their energy, release old patterns, and reconnect with their inner truth. Her work is heart-centered, healing, and deeply empowering. ✨ To pull your own Human Design chart and schedule an appointment, visit https://kandyduns.com ✨ Purchase the 2026 Cosmic Clarity Bundle at https://www.abundology.com/cosmic-clarity-bundle ✨ Sign up for Kandy's Journaling Class at https://app.acuityscheduling.com/schedule/2946a8aa/?appointmentTypeIds[]=86419463 ✨ Listen to Kandy's Selfless to Self Yes Podcast at https://selflesstoselfyes.buzzsprout.com/

The Theological depth of Horror Films
Ryan Duns is back on the podcast to talk about his provocative new book exploring horror and theology, and boy does he deliver some counterintuitive insights. He argues that horror is actually the most conservative film genre—and that's precisely why it works so well for theological reflection. Think about it: to be scared, you first have to believe there's something worth protecting. Ryan walks us through how horror films function as underground spaces where transcendence has been displaced and distorted, creating what he calls "frag events" that shatter our comfortable assumptions about reality. From The Purge and mimetic desire to The Black Phone and eucatastrophe, he shows how these films operate as photographic negatives of divine transcendence, revealing both our metaphysical vulnerability and our deep hunger for meaning. We dive into concepts like the "dark transcendent," the porosity of being, and why feeling horror is actually a sign of soul. Plus, Ryan shares stories from his Theology of Horror class—including angry parent emails and a student who ended up joining the Jesuits. If you've ever wondered what a philosophical theologian is doing teaching about chainsaw massacres and demonic possession, this conversation will blow your mind while making you rethink everything about faith, fear, and what it means to be human. Check out the book, Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films. You can WATCH the conversation on YouTube Ryan G. Duns, SJ, (twitter) is a Jesuit priest and an assistant professor of theology at Marquette University. His locates his work the intersection of philosophy and systematic theology and is interested in regarding theology as practice or “way of life.” He has published on Karl Rahner, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, and his most recent work has involved a sustained engagement with William Desmond's metaphysics. His monograph “Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God” argues that, when read as a form of spiritual exercise (Pierre Hadot), Desmond's philosophy can re-awaken a sense of the Transcendent.

Today's episode is for the dreamers and the doers—especially the ones who thought getting a DUNS, a Cage Code, and a nice logo meant they were ready to roll. Let's be real—there are a lot of misconceptions about how easy it is to “start” in GovCon. The truth? Many businesses start officially, but never truly enter the market. And some find out the hard way that they underestimated the time, money, and focus it takes just to get to the starting line; and in this episode, we're going to evaluate that. First, we'll explore the many ways small businesses find their way into this space—some by design, some by default. Then we'll unpack what it really means to build alignment between your vision, your capacity, and your funding over time. Whether you're new and exhausted, or established and re-evaluating, this episode is your reminder: It's not just about getting in—it's about staying in and growing on purpose.

I'm not much of a fan of horror films. But I do love speculative storytelling — of which horror is a sub-genre. Even more, I love using stories of pop culture to dive deeper into faith, spirituality and the nuances of scripture. Which is how we've arrived at today's horror-themed episode. Fr. Ryan Duns — a Jesuit priest and professor at Marquette University — has a new book out from the University of Notre Dame Press called “Theology of Horror: The Hidden Depths of Popular Films.” Throughout the book, Fr. Duns invites us to reflect more deeply on what horror reveals about our real world, our spiritual selves and the God who is present in all of it. There was one particularly stirring moment in this conversation that I've come back to again and again. Fr. Duns is reflecting on the role of the monster in these stories. Whatever the tale, the monster interrupts the status quo, business as usual, whatever constitutes normal and consequently leaves characters scrambling to put the pieces back in place. These sort of horror films are about killing the monster, killing the thing that disrupts our accepted understanding of how the world works so as to continue living as we always have. Now here's the kicker: Jesus is the monster. Right? In the story of scripture — and in our world today — the ideas that Jesus represents, the Good News he comes to bring of hope and healing and compassion and mercy disrupt the status quo. What do the characters in the story do? They kill the monster. And they try to pretend the whole thing never happened, that what Jesus said and pointed to and called us to take on was a lie. I'm struck by this, particularly as we prepare for Holy Week and Easter. Because we know that Jesus isn't dead, the new world he pointed to is real, and nothing can ever be the same again. And so, what will we do as a result? What part do we play in this proverbial horror story? If that idea piques your interest, then buckle up.

Full Text of ReadingsFriday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 489The Saint of the day is Blessed John Duns ScotusBlessed John Duns Scotus' Story A humble man, John Duns Scotus has been one of the most influential Franciscans through the centuries. Born at Duns in the county of Berwick, Scotland, John was descended from a wealthy farming family. In later years, he was identified as John Duns Scotus to indicate the land of his birth; Scotia is the Latin name for Scotland. John received the habit of the Friars Minor at Dumfries, where his uncle Elias Duns was superior. After novitiate, John studied at Oxford and Paris and was ordained in 1291. More studies in Paris followed until 1297, when he returned to lecture at Oxford and Cambridge. Four years later, he returned to Paris to teach and complete the requirements for the doctorate. In an age when many people adopted whole systems of thought without qualification, John pointed out the richness of the Augustinian-Franciscan tradition, appreciated the wisdom of Aquinas, Aristotle, and the Muslim philosophers—and still managed to be an independent thinker. That quality was proven in 1303, when King Philip the Fair tried to enlist the University of Paris on his side in a dispute with Pope Boniface VIII. John Duns Scotus dissented, and was given three days to leave France. hbspt.cta.load(465210, '271f0e97-0cc5-40ab-98e0-75c78489c4b8', {"useNewLoader":"true","region":"na1"}); In Scotus's time, some philosophers held that people are basically determined by forces outside themselves. Free will is an illusion, they argued. An ever-practical man, Scotus said that if he started beating someone who denied free will, the person would immediately tell him to stop. But if Scotus didn't really have a free will, how could he stop? John had a knack for finding illustrations his students could remember! After a short stay in Oxford, Scotus returned to Paris, where he received the doctorate in 1305. He continued teaching there and in 1307 so ably defended the Immaculate Conception of Mary that the university officially adopted his position. That same year the minister general assigned him to the Franciscan school in Cologne where John died in 1308. He is buried in the Franciscan church near the famous Cologne cathedral. Drawing on the work of John Duns Scotus, Pope Pius IX solemnly defined the Immaculate Conception of Mary in 1854. John Duns Scotus, the “Subtle Doctor,” was beatified in 1993. Reflection Father Charles Balic, O.F.M., the foremost 20th-century authority on Scotus, has written: “The whole of Scotus's theology is dominated by the notion of love. The characteristic note of this love is its absolute freedom. As love becomes more perfect and intense, freedom becomes more noble and integral both in God and in man” (New Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, p. 1105). Learn more about John Duns Scotus!

Episode 189 contains the Digital Marketing News and Updates from the week of Nov 27-Dec 1, 2023.1. Google Ads Controversy: Ad Placements on Questionable Websites - A recent study by Adalytics has sparked a debate over the ethical and transparency issues surrounding Google's Search Partner Network (GSP). The report found that Google search ads appeared on websites that violate Google's publisher policies, raising significant concerns for advertisers about where their ads are being displayed.Key Points from the Study: Violation of Publisher Policies: The study discovered Google search ads on websites that don't adhere to Google's publisher policies. These policies prohibit ads from being served alongside illegal content, hate speech, misinformation, and more. Yet, ads were found on far-leaning political websites and other questionable domains. Google Search Partner Network: The GSP is a collection of search-related websites and apps where Google ads can appear. The network, established in 2003, aims to expand Google's ad reach beyond its search engine. However, the lack of transparency about the websites included in this network is a major concern. Compromising Ad Placements: Advertisers reported finding their ads on websites they had previously blocked. This raises questions about the effectiveness of Google Ads' excluded placements setting and the overall control advertisers have over their ad placements. Ethical and Transparency Issues: The report highlights the need for greater transparency and trust in Google's ad network. The lack of clarity about the GSP's members and the discovery of ads on sanctioned websites in countries like Iran and Russia pose ethical dilemmas for advertisers. What Can Advertisers Do? Opt-Out of GSP: Advertisers can manually opt out of the GSP for each search campaign to avoid their ads appearing on these networks. Review Content Suitability Settings: Adjusting these settings, especially on YouTube or display campaigns, can help control where ads are shown. Check Display Campaign Placements: Reviewing where ads are shown in display campaigns can provide insights into potentially questionable or poor-performing websites. Use Advanced Settings for Additional Exclusions: Advertisers can exclude sensitive content types, themes, keywords, websites, apps, YouTube channels, or videos to gain more control over ad placements. This report underscores the importance for business owners of being vigilant about where their ads are displayed. It's crucial to regularly review and adjust ad settings to ensure that your brand's values align with the platforms where your ads are shown. As digital marketing continues to evolve, ethical considerations and transparency in ad placements remain key concerns for advertisers.2. Google Updates Policy for for Consumer Finance Ads - Google has updated its personalized ads policy in February 2024, and introduced new limitations on personalized advertising related to consumer financial products and services. This policy change is particularly important for businesses in the consumer finance sector, including those offering credit cards, loans, banking services, and debt management products.Understanding the Policy Update: Scope of the Update: The updated policy will prohibit targeting audiences based on sensitive interest categories like gender, age, parental status, marital status, or ZIP code in the United States and Canada for consumer finance in personalized ads. Effective Date: The policy enforcement will begin on February 28, 2024, and is expected to ramp up to full enforcement over approximately six weeks. Warning Before Suspension: Violations of this policy will not lead to immediate account suspension without prior warning. A warning will be issued at least seven days before any suspension of an account. Implications for Business Owners: Review Advertising Strategies: Businesses in the consumer finance sector need to review their advertising strategies on Google to ensure compliance with the new policy. This includes revising targeting methods and ad content. Prepare for Changes: With the policy taking effect in February 2024, businesses have time to adjust their campaigns and avoid potential disruptions. Understand the Impact: The policy change underscores the importance of ethical advertising practices, especially in sensitive sectors like consumer finance. It's crucial for businesses to understand how these changes affect their digital marketing efforts. 3. Google's November 2023 Core Update Rollout Complete - Google has finalized its November 2023 Core Update, marking the fourth major algorithm update of the year. This update, which began on November 2, 2023, concluded on November 28, 2023, after 26 days. It followed closely on the heels of the October 2023 Core Update, which itself had significant impacts on search rankings.The November Core Update was notable for the breadth of its impact, affecting a wide range of sites and causing considerable ranking volatility. Many SEOs reported substantial changes in site rankings from the outset of the update.Adding to the complexity, the November 2023 Reviews Update, which began on November 8, overlapped with the Core Update. This meant that websites experienced the effects of two significant updates simultaneously, although the impacts of each were distinct.Understanding Google's algorithm updates is crucial for businesses, as these updates can impact how your site performs in search results. Any change in rankings from a core update, positive or negative, can impact your organic traffic, conversions, and revenue. Knowing when Google makes these updates enables site owners to know if traffic fluctuations resulted from a change to the site or something Google changed with its ranking algorithm.4. Google Search Expands Organization Markup: Enhancing Business Visibility - Google has recently updated its organization markup in Google Search, now supporting additional fields such as name, address, contact information, and various business identifiers. This expansion is a significant development for business owners, as it allows for more comprehensive representation of their organizations in Google's search results.What's New in the Update: Expanded Fields: The updated organization structured data now includes fields for name, alternate name, legal name, description, sameAs, address, phone numbers, email, number of employees, founding date, DUNS, NAICS, tax ID, and other ID numbers. This is in addition to the previously supported logo and URL structured data fields. Enhanced Visibility: These new fields can be used in Google Search knowledge panels and other visual elements, such as attribution. This means that when someone searches for your business, Google can display a rich snippet with detailed information about your organization, making it easier for potential customers to find and contact you. Updated Reporting: Google Search Console reports have been updated to support validation of these new fields. The rich results testing tool has also been updated, allowing you to test your organization's structured data and confirm its validity instantly. Google's expansion of the organization markup in search results is a valuable opportunity for business owners to improve their online visibility and provide users with more detailed information about their organizations. By effectively utilizing these new structured data fields, businesses can enhance their search presence, improve user experience, and potentially increase customer engagement.5. Google Adds Support for Discussion Forums and Profile Pages - Google has announced the introduction of structured data for profile pages and discussion forums, a significant update for Google Search. This new markup, along with corresponding reports in Search Console, is designed to improve the accuracy and completeness of search results, particularly for content from social media platforms, forums, and online communities.Key Features of the Update: Profile Page Markup: This is intended for sites where creators (individuals or organizations) share firsthand perspectives. It helps Google Search better identify information about the creator, such as their name, social handle, profile photo, follower count, and the popularity of their content. This markup is utilized in Google Search features like 'Perspectives' and 'Discussions and Forums.' Discussion Forum Posting Markup: Aimed at forum-style sites where people share firsthand perspectives, this markup helps Google Search better identify forum sites and online discussions. Forums with this markup are considered for content appearance in 'Perspectives' and 'Discussions and Forums' features. QA Markup vs. Forum Markup: For sites already using QA markup for question-and-answer themed user forums, Google has updated the QA structured data documentation to align with the new discussion forum guidelines. Sites should use the markup that best suits their content structure. Search Console Reports: To monitor discussion threads and profile page markup issues, Google is launching rich result reports in Search Console. These reports will show errors, warnings, and valid items related to marked-up pages. Additionally, the rich results test tool supports both features to help test and validate markup. For business owners, especially those with a strong online community presence or who engage in forum-style content, this update is crucial. Implementing the new structured data will enhance your content's visibility and accuracy in Google Search, potentially driving more traffic to your site. It's an opportunity to ensure that Google accurately represents your brand and content in search results.6. TikTok Creative Cards : Will It Boost Content Engagement? - TikTok has launched a new feature called Creative Cards, designed to help small businesses and content creators enhance engagement, relevance, and relatability in their posts. This so-called innovative tool offers data-backed prompts, providing tips on crafting content that resonates more effectively with the TikTok audience.Key Features of TikTok Creative Cards: Diverse Categories: The cards are divided into five categories: Community, Edutainment, Creator Tools, Trends, and Storytelling. Each category offers unique insights tailored to different aspects of content creation. Community Insights: These insights assist creators in engaging their audience actively, building customer loyalty through integrating customer testimonials and content based on user comments. Edutainment Tips: This category includes creative ways to showcase products, share lessons, and introduce offers, blending education with entertainment. Creator Tools: From storytelling techniques to incorporating music and captions, these cards explore various ways to boost views and enhance likability. Trends and Storytelling: The cards help creators brainstorm ideas for participating in trending memes and hashtags and offer different approaches to telling their business's journey and challenges.

Once granted, they can scroll through the digital cards for ideas, breaking down their content creation needs by category. 7. Meta Releases Q5 Strategy Guide For Post-Holiday Marketing - Meta's recently released a Q5 marketing guide that offers a strategic approach to maximizing post-holiday marketing budgets. This period, known as Q5, spans from late December to mid-January and is often overlooked by marketers. However, according to Meta's guide, this period presents a unique opportunity for businesses to capitalize on continued consumer shopping behavior.Key Insights from Meta's Q5 Marketing Guide:Extended Shopping Season: A YouGov survey commissioned by Meta found that 41% of holiday shoppers continue their shopping past the holidays into January. This indicates a sustained consumer interest in purchasing even after the main holiday season.Lower Media Costs: Global data from January 2023 shows that CPM (Cost Per Mille) rates were on average 15% lower than their levels on October 1st. This suggests that advertising during Q5 can be more cost-effective compared to the peak holiday season.Five Best Practices for Q5 Marketing: The guide outlines crucial strategies for marketers: Minimize campaign changes to maintain stability. Leverage automation and AI for improved ad performance. Diversify creatives to appeal to a broader audience. Use data to grow the lifetime value of customers. Always validate results through consistent measurement.

Full Text of ReadingsWednesday of the Thirty-first Week in Ordinary Time Lectionary: 487The Saint of the day is Blessed John Duns ScotusBlessed John Duns Scotus' Story A humble man, John Duns Scotus has been one of the most influential Franciscans through the centuries. Born at Duns in the county of Berwick, Scotland, John was descended from a wealthy farming family. In later years, he was identified as John Duns Scotus to indicate the land of his birth; Scotia is the Latin name for Scotland. John received the habit of the Friars Minor at Dumfries, where his uncle Elias Duns was superior. After novitiate, John studied at Oxford and Paris and was ordained in 1291. More studies in Paris followed until 1297, when he returned to lecture at Oxford and Cambridge. Four years later, he returned to Paris to teach and complete the requirements for the doctorate. In an age when many people adopted whole systems of thought without qualification, John pointed out the richness of the Augustinian-Franciscan tradition, appreciated the wisdom of Aquinas, Aristotle, and the Muslim philosophers—and still managed to be an independent thinker. That quality was proven in 1303, when King Philip the Fair tried to enlist the University of Paris on his side in a dispute with Pope Boniface VIII. John Duns Scotus dissented, and was given three days to leave France. In Scotus's time, some philosophers held that people are basically determined by forces outside themselves. Free will is an illusion, they argued. An ever-practical man, Scotus said that if he started beating someone who denied free will, the person would immediately tell him to stop. But if Scotus didn't really have a free will, how could he stop? John had a knack for finding illustrations his students could remember! After a short stay in Oxford, Scotus returned to Paris, where he received the doctorate in 1305. He continued teaching there and in 1307 so ably defended the Immaculate Conception of Mary that the university officially adopted his position. That same year the minister general assigned him to the Franciscan school in Cologne where John died in 1308. He is buried in the Franciscan church near the famous Cologne cathedral. Drawing on the work of John Duns Scotus, Pope Pius IX solemnly defined the Immaculate Conception of Mary in 1854. John Duns Scotus, the “Subtle Doctor,” was beatified in 1993. Reflection Father Charles Balic, O.F.M., the foremost 20th-century authority on Scotus, has written: “The whole of Scotus's theology is dominated by the notion of love. The characteristic note of this love is its absolute freedom. As love becomes more perfect and intense, freedom becomes more noble and integral both in God and in man” (New Catholic Encyclopedia, Vol. 4, p. 1105). Learn more about John Duns Scotus!

Slam the Gavel welcomes Tracy to the podcast. Tracy is a dedicated and determined Mother and is fighting the unlawful and corrupt court system of "State of Washington," a corporation DUNS# 079248936. A system that has, without any Due Process, taken her child away and given this child over to a family that is advancing both medical tyranny and the LGBTQ agenda on this child. Tracy has been in this legal battle for 3 1/2 years. CPS removed Tracy's daughter from her through the school system after Tracy reported a teacher to the school's superintendent for suspicion of pedophilia, which Tracy's daughter first identified to her mother after the teacher who had asked the child to perform "hot, sexy child" for him in class. Tracy responded by addressing the school, and in retaliation, the school kidnapped her child. Over the last few years, Tracy's discovery has led her down a path of uncovering the sinister agenda of a U.N. run court system in Washington state and throughout the country aimed at breaking down the family unit and the necessary social structures of a strong society. This is a global issue. Additionally, Tracy has been able to uncover the evidence of trafficking children through CPS and the court systems for monetary gain via Title IV incentives. Tracy's daughter is now a victim to numerous psychological drugs and indoctrinations brought to her through these agendas, which are happening across our United States of America! Tracy, who is very concerned about her daughter, also talked about child groomers who have influenced her daughter. Tracy states, "We need to save the children and start with unity."To reach Tracy: dismantlingfamilycourtcorruption.comThis episode of Slam the Gavel is sponsored by CPSprotect Consulting Services.

Goooood morning, evening, or afternoon you legends!!!! Today's episode is a very special one for me as it was an extreme challenge - repair, re-stitching, and essentially rebuilding chunks of data from old radio episodes. I've managed to source some allusive Old Time Radio shows from the "Crime Doctor" series, and began physically stitches, fixing, and stripping back issues within the audio to produce what you hear in today's episode. Truly a challenge, but a great one - seeing as the audio you're hearing is almost 100 years old. Absolutely awesome!! Also, my apologies on the absence of Ghost images last week and the delay on Ghost Stories PART 2, that will be ready by next Monday as I ran out of time on the weekend - I'd rather do it right than rush it - last week I went down to Duns borough, Bunbury, and Busselton, not realising there would be zero net where we were going, oof! So I'll be updating that Post today as well mates

"Star Wars" is a window into a larger universe, a universe that has the same flawed characters, hope-filled adventures and deep galaxy-altering questions as our own. A story like "Star Wars" helps us expand our own imagination, helps us better grapple with how we share and reflect upon our own stories. We dream bigger about what's possible in our lives and our society as a result. And, maybe, we learn something new about how God works. Don't agree? Today's episode of AMDG may help put your doubts to rest. Today's guests our Dr. Benjamin Espinoza and Fr. Ryan Duns, SJ. Ben is the associate vice president for online education and assistant professor of practical theology at Roberts Wesleyan College. He's also an ordained minister in the Wesleyan Church. Ryan is an assistant professor in the theology department as Marquette University. He's also the assistant department chair and director of undergraduate studies. And, he's a Jesuit priest. Both of our guests are eminently qualified to discuss theology, philosophy and pop culture. But what makes them particularly amazing guests today is that they were both involved in a brand new, very cool book, “Theology and the Star Wars Universe.” Ben was the editor; Ryan contributed an essay — and he talks about that in our conversation. Even if you're not a huge Star Wars fan, you'll appreciate the conversation, the grappling with making sense of and encountering God in our culture today.

Ryan G. Duns, SJ, is a Jesuit priest and an assistant professor of theology at Marquette University. His locates his work the intersection of philosophy and systematic theology and is interested in regarding theology as practice or "way of life." He has published on Karl Rahner, Jean-Luc Marion, René Girard, and his most recent work has involved a sustained engagement with William Desmond's metaphysics. His monograph “Spiritual Exercises for a Secular Age: Desmond and the Quest for God" argues that, when read as a form of spiritual exercise (Pierre Hadot), Desmond's philosophy can re-awaken a sense of the Transcendent.
