Peter concludes his letter to the elect exiles with exhortations to persevere in the faith through sufferings, to humble themselves under the mighty hand of God, cast their cares on him, be soberminded, watchful, and resist the devil who prowls around like a roaring lion. Suffering is the common experience of all Christians in the present age and is for our sanctification and to share Christ's sufferings according to God's will. But suffering in this age will surely be followed by God exalting believers at the proper time in the age to come. Echoing the theme of suffering according to God's will (4:19), Peter beautifully summarizes this  letter to the elect exiles by affirming that God promises to sustain even through suffering: “the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, will himself restore, establish, strengthen, and support you after you have suffered a little while.”

Send us a textPeaches goes off on the biggest shakeup in the military since forever: the Secretary of Defense (now Secretary of War) dropping a savage speech that could've been an email—but wasn't. From “FAFO” threats to beard bans, fat generals, and nuking woke policies, nothing was off limits. Trump chimed in with his usual fire, telling generals to leave the room if they didn't like it. Peaches rips through the chaos with hot takes, sarcasm, and zero filter. If you thought the military was soft—buckle up, because culture change just showed up with steel-toe boots.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 – Why assessment & selection is about attributes, not miles run 01:00 – Daily Drop intro: news, Nashville OTS slots, and pipeline quitters 04:30 – Pete Hegseth's speech: could it have been an email? 06:54 – Pentagon rebranded as War Department (pending Congress) 08:45 – FAFO policy and “decades of decay” in the ranks 09:50 – Culture change vs. military paralysis 11:00 – Purging DEI and woke policies—good, bad, and ugly 13:18 – Sweeping cuts: when good programs get axed 15:41 – Fitness standards, grooming, and the “no more permanent beardos” rule 18:05 – Daily PT mandate across the force 19:50 – Fat generals, Ozempic, and why Peaches says it's actually fine 21:45 – Officer purge incoming? 22:09 – Gulf War as the model for decisive command 23:00 – Trump's turn: fire them on the spot if you don't like them 24:28 – Echoing anti-woke push and Pentagon renaming 25:04 – Silent generals, apolitical bearing, and political clowns in uniform 26:00 – Trump's classic meandering style (and Peaches admits he does it too)

Good morning everyone! I am so sorry that I completely forgot yesterday was Wednesday and yet I didn't want you to miss out on Witness Wednesday this week. Today I will be reading to you the story of Sophia. She is a 12 year old student  who was shot and nearly killed during Mass at the Annunciation Catholic School in August. First I will read the prayer request I recieved from several people and then the article a friend sent about her recovery.A friend whose brother-in-law teaches at Annunciation is passing along an urgent prayer request from the dad of Sophia, who's still in intensive care...Sophia's brain swelling needs to stop now and recede.

Books of the Book: Week 2 - The Book of Jude ### Introduction This week's sermon delves into the **Book of Jude**, exploring its profound relevance for modern believers. Despite being one of the shortest books in the Bible, Jude's message is powerful and urgent, calling Christians to contend for their faith amidst ancient and contemporary challenges. ### The Importance of Scripture The sermon begins by emphasizing the foundational role of Scripture in the life of a believer. Echoing the words of Jesus, "Man does not live on bread alone, but on every word that proceeds from the mouth of God," and Paul in **2 Timothy 3:16**, which states, "All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness." This underscores the necessity of engaging with all of God's word to be equipped for every good work. ### Understanding Jude Jude, Jesus's half-brother, addresses his letter to those who have come to God through faith in Jesus Christ. Despite his familial connection to Jesus, Jude identifies himself foremost as a servant of Christ, highlighting humility and obedience over personal prestige. The core of Jude's message is a call to "contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people" (**Jude 1:3**). This faith, established through Jesus' death on the cross, is unchanging and must be defended against distortion. ### The Threat of False Teachings Jude warns against individuals who have infiltrated the church, perverting the grace of God into a license for immorality and denying Jesus Christ as Lord (**Jude 1:4**). He references historical examples of rebellion against God, such as the Israelites who were delivered from Egypt but later judged for unbelief, the fallen angels, and the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah (**Jude 1:5-7**). These false teachers are described as dangerous and destructive, akin to "clouds without rain" and "autumn trees without fruit" (**Jude 1:12-13**). They are accused of leading believers astray by promoting a message that cheapens grace and denies the call to righteousness. ### Call to Action Jude's letter is not just a warning but a call to action. Believers are urged to: - **Build themselves up in their most holy faith** - **Pray in the Holy Spirit** - **Keep themselves in God's love** - **Show mercy to those who doubt** - **Save others by snatching them from the fire** These actions are crucial for personal growth and maintaining the faith community's integrity. ### Conclusion The sermon concludes with a prayer for strength and wisdom to contend for the faith with mercy and love. It emphasizes the church's responsibility to uphold the truth of Scripture and to resist the divisive and destructive influences of false teachings. In a world where beliefs and morals are constantly challenged, Jude's message is a timeless reminder of the importance of standing firm in the faith "once for all delivered to the saints" (**Jude 1:3**). As believers, we are called to be pillars of truth, reflecting God's mercy and grace to a world in need of hope and salvation.

I Started Loving Myself More After Joining Swami's HospitalOn August 15, 1973, a young MBBS graduate from Kasturba Medical College, Bengaluru, began a humble Sunday clinic in the village of Begur. With nothing more than his medical degree, the help of a compounder, and an unshakable determination to serve, he quietly tended to villagers in a corner 33 kilometres from Bengaluru.What started as a small act of service has today blossomed into a movement that provides free healthcare to more than 1,000 patients every week. For over five decades, this dedicated doctor has never missed a single Sunday at his clinic in Begur. In recognition of his lifelong commitment, the Government of India honoured him with the Padma Shri in 2010.Ask him what fuels this unwavering resolve, and he humbly replies:“Baba's message, ‘Hands that serve are holier than lips that pray,' has touched me deeply and given me the strength to carry on and do even more. These hands are not my hands, they are His hands.”Echoing a similar spirit of surrender, Dr Geetanjali Tulapurkar, Head of the Department of Anaesthesia at the Sri Sathya Sai Institute of Higher Medical Sciences, Whitefield, shares: “It is not me doing anything for the patients. Every patient who comes to Baba's hospital actually heals me. Day by day, I am realising that I am not the doer, and this fills me with a great sense of peace and joy."Both of these eminent physicians were among the inspiring speakers at the Global Medical Conference held in Prasanthi Nilayam in June 2025.

Every day lives are affected by all kinds of voices. Voices of the living and voices of the past that are still speaking their stories, works and faith. Our own voices impact life all around us for the good and the bad. "Death and life are in the power of the tongue."- Proverbs 18:21.Last Wednesday Charlie Kirk's died in a horrific flash moment while he was speaking. Voices from the media were all saying, "A great voice was taken away from us today." The nation was stunned, and all voices were stopped in silent shock. As I pondered the unponderable, a thought crossed my mind. God's voice is not stopped and can never be taken away. Which means our voices will ever go on filling this dark world with words of eternal life while we live. The greatest voice in the world is the voice of Jesus Christ and His word. And by the Holy Spirit we will go on sowing His words until the end. Until we are taken off earth's stage by God Himself.Meditate on the what this means and use your voice in prayer always. Then go and speak in the power of His love being witnesses unto Christ. You will never know the feeling of what it means to be carried about on eagles wings until you soar in His words towards others in your lifetime. I have tasted it and there is nothing like it. I will never live and serve Christ any other way.“Some of us are like the Dead Sea, always taking in but never giving out, because we are not rightly related to the Lord Jesus.” ― Oswald Chambers

Charlie Kirk assassination 2025 demands answers, patriots—@intheMatrixxx and @shadygrooove unleash unfiltered fury with Season 7, Episode 173, “The Charlie Kirk Tragedy; Remembering 9/11,” airing live today, September 11, 2025, at 12:05 PM Eastern! These battle-tested truth warriors, forged in the fires of Twitter's deep-state ban and rising to awaken a sleeping giant, plunge into the gut-wrenching details of conservative powerhouse Charlie Kirk's fatal shooting in the neck on September 10, 2025, during his electrifying American Comeback Tour at Utah Valley University in Orem. As the FBI's $100,000 reward sparks tips and a person of interest's photo floods X, Jeff and Shannon rip apart the inconsistencies—like the leaked ATF report on a high-powered Mauser .30-06 bolt-action rifle engraved with trans and anti-fascist markings, found in woods after a sniper fled 200 yards away in 10-15 mph winds, per police scanners and bystander videos. Utah Governor Spencer Cox brands it a blatant "political assassination," amid detained-then-released suspects George Zinn and Zachariah Qureshi, foreign intel whispers from John Solomon, and Blue Sky threats targeting JK Rowling, Matt Walsh, and Elon Musk. They torch the radical left's bloodlust, from Jezebel's cursed Etsy witches scramble to MSDNC dumping analyst Matthew Dowd for his bile, and Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker's Trump-blaming deflection—proving how globalist hate from the likes of the Minnesota lawmaker slaying and Pennsylvania arson fuels this war on America-First voices, birthing a million Kirk-inspired fighters armed with ballots, not bullets. Igniting Kirk's fearless legacy, the hosts blast an "Inspire someone today" rallying cry to embolden youth against tyranny, syncing with Jesse Watters' Fox News bombshell: a "turning point" where "they are at war with us," swearing vengeance via media rat hunts and political accountability. They amplify President Donald J. Trump's Oval Office thunder—"My Fellow Americans," dubbing Kirk "the Great, and even Legendary" youth whisperer, unveiling a posthumous Presidential Medal of Freedom to etch his Turning Point USA triumphs into eternity. Pivoting to sacred ground, the show vows "We will never forget" 9/11's 2,977 heroes lost 24 years ago at Ground Zero, the Pentagon, and Flight 93—first responders charging into hell, a generational shift now led by their children's solemn recitations amid toxic legacy deaths topping attack tolls. DJT's Pentagon address with First Lady Melania, secured indoors against threats, fuses 9/11 resilience with Kirk grief, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's tear-streaked eulogy hails Charlie as a "good and faithful servant" and "incredible American patriot" whose arena roar demands "full hearts, clear eyes—you will never be forgotten." Echoing the live chat's WWG1WGA fire—prayers, unity blasts, and psyop calls—the MG Show forges unbreakable patriot bonds, shunning reactionary traps for constitutional steel. This is the crucible where America-First legends are born, delivering live intel blasts, savage wit, and narrative-shredding analysis that crushes deep-state deceptions and rallies the republic's guardians. The truth is learned, never told, and the constitution is your weapon—tune in at noon-0-five Eastern LIVE to stand with Trump!

The Cardinals got accumstomed to seeing throngs of fans. Now both are facing the prospects of neither. That's how St. Louis Post-Dispatch sports columnist Jeff Gordon puts it when he joins baseball writer Derrick Goold for this brand new Best Podcast in Baseball. The two staff writers for StlToday.com discuss the stunning lack of attendance for a four-game visit from the Pittsburgh Pirates, and how the Pirates sure do have plenty of power pitching, but they also present a cautionary tale for the Cardinals about the gravitational pull of the perpetual rebuild's black hole. There are ways for the Cardinals to pull out of that outcome. Goold likens the situation to a space launch. Sure, the Cardinals can spend time engineering and building a homegrown shuttle, but eventually it's going to take the booster rockets from spending on outside help to get it off the ground and out of low-hovering orbit.  In its 13th season as one of the first and most widely heard podcasts on baseball and the Cardinals, the Best Podcast in Baseball, sponsored weekly by Closets by Design of St. Louis, is a production of the St. Louis Post-Dispatch, StlToday.com, and Derrick Goold.

Send us a textReady to shake up your customer experience approach with some no-fluff, straight-to-the-point wisdom? In this episode, Adrian Swinscoe – author of *Punk CX* and *How to Wow* – joins Roman Trebon to deliver a masterclass on how real, actionable data combined with firsthand customer stories can transform your CX from good to unforgettable. Learn why "going to the gemba" (that's Japanese for “go see where the work happens”) can be the secret weapon in your customer success playbook, and why less complexity often results in more memorable experiences.Adrian Swinscoe dives deep into a pragmatic, almost punk rock philosophy of customer experience that's anything but conventional. His call to action? Don't get lost in the sea of binary data points and over-engineered solutions. Yes, data is king – but raw numbers alone often feel like a monochrome sketch. True customer success leaders bring color and context by blending quantitative insights with rich, qualitative stories. It's these narratives that move teams to act and innovate, bridging the gap between cold metrics and vibrant human emotion.Swinscoe invokes the Toyota-inspired practice of “going to the gemba,” encouraging CX leaders to ditch conference rooms and dashboards for direct observation—whether it's sitting with frontline agents or experiencing the product as a customer would. This boots-on-the-ground approach fosters empathy, reveals friction points invisible in reports, and catalyzes meaningful change.Echoing his punk ethos, Adrian warns against the natural tendency to keep piling on features and processes under the guise of “improvement.” Instead, simplicity should be your compass. If you add one new element to a process, critique what two things you can eliminate. Complexity is easy; elegance and clarity require discipline—and they pay dividends in customer loyalty.Roman's illustrated comic example highlights the paradox: an overcomplicated onboarding and an overly simplified offboarding process reveal where brands lose customers—not because of lack of effort, but too much of the wrong kind of effort.For anyone seeking practical, actionable guidance on staying ahead in the crowded CX arena, this conversation is a treasure trove. Tune in, challenge your assumptions, and enrich your customer success playbook with these hard-earned lessons on observation, storytelling, and ruthless simplicity.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

The more you give, the more returns in unexpected ways. Empathy as a strategic advantage: Empathy is not just a “soft” skill—it's a superpower in building trust, partnerships, and team cohesion. Brand (including failure): Authenticity and a willingness to share failures build a personal brand that is relatable and trustworthy. On getting mentorship and opportunity: The best mentors look for mentees who show grit, passion, and a willingness to add value in any position. Exceptional performance, even in “menial” jobs, is what gets you noticed and sponsored. Advice for ambitious newcomers: Don't expect entitlement; own your success by excelling wherever you start. Opportunity follows attitude and effort. Nonprofit vs. for-profit for “doing good” Top 3 Takeaways Do Good Wherever You Are: “Doing good” isn't dependent on working for a nonprofit—you can create impact in any career by showing up, helping others, and standing for something meaningful. Mentorship and Passion Create Results: The combination of a mentor's insight and a mentee's work ethic unlocks opportunity and advancement at every level. Operate with Business Rigor, Even in Nonprofits: Sustainability, efficiency, and accountability are just as important in the impact sector as they are in the for-profit world.

She would have been the first socialist mayor of a large city since Frank Zeidler left office as mayor of Milwaukee in 1960. But she never became mayor. Brown sued to get on the ballot, failed, but then launched a successful write in campaign. Though she was backed by WFP and had secured endorsements from Chuck Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and AOC, Governor Hochul declined to endorse Walton, Echoing the current Zohran Mamdani moment. Now, Walton returns to Bad Faith to give her unique perspective on what it's like to win a Democratic Party primary, only to be beaten by the Democratic Party establishment, to offer advice to Zohran Mamdani, who once campaigned for Walton in Buffalo, and to unpack her feelings on the viability of using the Democratic Party as a vehicle for real change.

God at Work: The Practice of Mercy in an Unstable World – Rev. Donnell T. Wyche - a2vc.org. Like us on fb.com/vineyardannarboror watch our livestream Sundays @ 10:45am - vimeo.com/annarborvineyard  Summary: In this third installment of the God at Work series, Pastor Donnell Wyche explores what God desires from us amid the uncertainty and instability of the world. Drawing from Hosea 6:6—“For I desire mercy, not sacrifice”—Pastor Donnell reframes our assumptions about pleasing God. Rather than asking for performance, ritual, or religious effort, God calls us to embody mercy. This mercy is not just a feeling, but a relational, transformative force that reorients us toward God and each other, even in the face of evil and injustice. Pastor Donnell emphasizes that, in Scripture, God doesn't provide neat answers to the problem of evil, but instead offers witness and invitation—inviting us to respond mercifully in a broken world. Pastor Donnell illustrates that mercy isn't abstract or reserved for grand gestures—it starts in everyday relationships and small, personal decisions. Whether it's in how we speak to our family members, interact with neighbors, or respond to strangers, mercy is a discipline of love. He offers compelling personal examples, including his role in organizing a local “Warrant Resolution Day” to help people clear court debts and restore freedom. Through this story, he shows how mercy can take tangible form in systems and communities, not just individual interactions. In contrast to transactional religion, Pastor Donnell invites the congregation to participate in a faith rooted in God's character—one that prioritizes compassion over control. Closing the sermon, Pastor Donnell brings it home with a challenge: where are you being invited to practice mercy? Whether in a crowded Costco checkout line or a tense neighborhood meeting, each situation is a chance to choose relationship over reaction. Echoing the prophets and Jesus himself, Pastor Donnell reminds us that faithful worship without mercy is hollow. The way forward is not through louder prayers or deeper sacrifices, but through the often quiet, often inconvenient practice of loving mercy—especially when it's hardest to do.

Storm Technology, a Littlefish company, has announced the findings of a survey which shows that 69% of IT leaders say a failure to successfully implement AI is costing their company money. The research for Storm Technology involved 200 IT decision-makers and leaders across Ireland and the UK (100 respondents per market) - also found that a similar proportion (71%) think their organisation will lose market share or competitive advantage within the next 3 years if they do not invest effectively in AI. Echoing this, 82% agree their company needs to invest in updating technologies and tools to be competitive. Furthermore, two thirds (66%) of respondents agree their organisation is taking too long to leverage the potential of AI. This rose to more than three quarters (77%) of respondents in Ireland. Meanwhile, some 63% of IT leaders say their company has become disillusioned by AI. Again, a higher proportion of respondents from Ireland (70%) expressed this view, with 77% of the opinion that their organisation should spend more on AI in 2025. In terms of the anticipated investment in AI for 2025 among businesses in Ireland, that came in at approximately €491,250 on average - marking a 42% increase from the estimated AI spend for 2024. Among all respondents, AI (35%) is one of the top five priority areas for IT spend over the next year. The others are cybersecurity (37%), cloud infrastructure (30%), data analytics (25%), and technology training (26%). Where businesses are currently leveraging AI, 36% are deploying it in Operations, followed closely by Marketing (35%), and then Finance (31%). The survey also revealed the main benefits of AI usage as driving business growth (29%), enhanced customer service (28%), and improved data analysis, reporting or insights (28%). However, just a fifth (20%) of respondents in Ireland cited business growth as a main benefit of AI, compared to 38% of UK counterparts. As for actual results being driven by AI among all respondents, faster data analytics came to the fore (35%), followed by rising productivity levels (25%). Shorter customer response times (24%), increased profitability (24%) and automated processes (23%) finished off the top five. Karl Flannery, CEO, Storm Technology, said: "While most companies believe that investing in AI is critical to growth, many are not clear where the most benefits can be derived. Additionally, they believe their company is taking too long to invest and have become disillusioned with AI. "Failing to embrace AI and get leadership buy-in will only exacerbate this issue, impacting future innovation and competitiveness. There is no alternative, but to just get started and build that organisational understanding across all levels of this fast-developing capability to unlock new levels of growth and efficiency."

In this episode of Comic Stripped, Mark Radulich and Evan Bevins dive into Here, discussing how Richard McGuire's formal experiment reshaped the boundaries of graphic storytelling and how Zemeckis' adaptation attempts to interpret that same vision through cinema. The hosts explore whether the emotional arc added in the film enhances or detracts from the original's minimalist power. They also debate the challenges of adapting abstract art into narrative film, and where Here sits in the pantheon of both graphic novels and cinematic experimentation."Here" is a 6-page comic story by Richard McGuire published in 1989, and expanded into a 304-page graphic novel in 2014. The concept of "Here" (in both versions) is to show the same location in space at different points in time, ranging from the primordial past to thousands of years in the future. "Here" has been recognized as a groundbreaking experiment with the formal properties of comics.Here is a 2024 American drama film produced and directed by Robert Zemeckis, who co-wrote the screenplay with Eric Roth, based on the 2014 graphic novel by Richard McGuire. Echoing the source material, the film is told in a nonlinear fashion: using a locked-down or "static shot" technique, the story covers a single plot of land and its inhabitants, from the distant past to the 21st century. During the film, the screen is often subdivided into panes, presenting events from different times simultaneously. The film stars Tom Hanks, Robin Wright, Paul Bettany, and Kelly Reilly, with digital de-aging via generative artificial intelligence being used on much of the cast to have them portray their characters over time.Here premiered at the AFI Fest on October 25, 2024, before being theatrically released in the United States by TriStar Pictures through Sony Pictures Releasing on November 1, 2024.[10] The film received generally negative reviews from critics and grossed $15.8 million.Disclaimer: The following may contain offensive language, adult humor, and/or content that some viewers may find offensive – The views and opinions expressed by any one speaker does not explicitly or necessarily reflect or represent those of Mark Radulich or W2M Network.Mark Radulich and his wacky podcast on all the things:https://linktr.ee/markkind76alsohttps://www.teepublic.com/user/radulich-in-broadcasting-networkFB Messenger: Mark Radulich LCSWTiktok: @markradulichtwitter: @MarkRadulichInstagram: markkind76RIBN Album Playlist: https://suno.com/playlist/91d704c9-d1ea-45a0-9ffe-5069497bad59 For the purposes of engaging with tiktok and youtube viewers, what is the best 10min or more segment from this podcast?

Miguel Angel Angeles, executive director of Bethel Radio & TV, shares the history of a ministry that started with one Christian asking a radio station to play audio cassettes of his sermons on the air. As the radio ministry encouraged and built up the church, it expanded into Venezuela, Colombia, and other areas. Today, Bethel is a network of hundreds of radio and television stations, based in Peru and reaching Spanish speakers all over Latin America and the world. Miguel will share about his own start serving in IT with Bethel TV, and how he came to understand the importance of bringing awareness of the persecuted body of Christ through Bethel programming. “My first time listening about the persecuted church was when Petr Jasek came to a conference in Peru to share his testimony,” Miguel said, “and it created a hunger for me to learn more.” After hearing speak at a conference about his own arrest in Sudan, Miguel's church began to meet every Monday to pray for the persecuted church and to learn more about fellow believers facing Christian persecution. Week after week, God prepared Miguel's heart as it was continuously stretched by the stories of bold faith in the face of hostility and persecution. After reading Tortured for Christ, by Richard Wurmbrand, the founder of The Voice of the Martyrs, Miguel knew he needed to share about persecuted Christians with the broader church in Latin America and with his radio audience. Listen as Miguel shares the heart of his church for missions. Churches dedicate one Sunday a month to focus on missions and missionaries. You and your church will be encouraged to make missions and praying for persecuted Christians a regular part of your worship gatherings as well. Pray this week for Miguel, his family, and Bethel Radio & TV as they continue serving the Lord and sharing the voice of persecuted Christians with Spanish-speaking people around the world.

Keir Starmer has promised to take a tougher stance on immigration — but there are fears the government's new ban on the recruitment of foreign care workers could deepen Britain's care crisis, with providers warning it could lead to care home closures due to significant staffing issues.Since 1997, there have been 25 official reviews into the UK's broken care system, yet little meaningful change. We're joined by someone who has brought the issue to the political forefront: Liberal Democrat leader Sir Ed Davey. His moving personal story of caring for his disabled son, John, struck a chord across party lines — and in his new book - Why I Care: And why care matters - he's calling for urgent reform.He also explains why he disagrees with the Prime Minister's use of language announcing those immigration reforms, why he's confident that he can match Nigel Farage's appeal to former Tory voters, and why Donald Trump's position on the Ukraine/Russia conflict amounts to little more than appeasement of Vladimir Putin.Plus, it's our first podcast birthday!

Ep.242 Shaunté Gates (b. 1979) lives and works in Washington, D.C. He studied at Duke Ellington School of the Arts and Bowie State University. Early in his career, Gates trained in oil painting and portraiture. His past experience as a tattoo artist and television motion graphics editor caused a profound shift in his artistic practice. His recent work employs a multidisciplinary approach, layering photography, painting, and found text to create dreamlike landscapes that explore labyrinthine social constructs and the physical sites that house and perpetuate them. Echoing the aesthetics of paper theater, his compositions unfold like intricate stage sets, where layered imagery and shifting perspectives evoke a sense of constructed reality and theatrical illusion. Gates was a participating artist in the Smithsonian Institution's “Men of Change” four-year traveling exhibition spanning ten museums, including the International African American Museum in Charleston, SC, California African American Museum, Cincinnati Underground Railroad Museum and Washington State History Museum (2019-23). He has been awarded the Louis Comfort Tiffany Biennial Grant (2022) and residencies with The Nicholson Project (2023), The Kennedy Center (2019) and Washington Project for the Arts (2018; 2017). Gates has work in esteemed private collections and institutions such as the Studio Museum in Harlem and Munson, Utica, NY. He has completed many public art commissions including Transcending, a painting commemorating the 140th anniversary of Howard University School of Law.  Photo credit: Biko Gates Artist https://www.shauntegates.com/ Virginia Tech https://artscenter.vt.edu/exhibitions/shaunte-gates.html Sperone Westwater  https://www.speronewestwater.com/artists/shaunte-gates#tab:slideshow Marc Straus https://marcstraus.com/artists/98-shaunte-gates/ FAD Magazine https://fadmagazine.com/2025/03/03/marc-straus-gallery-now-represent-shaunte-gates/ Zidoun-Bossuyt https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/artists/shaunte-gates/ | https://zidoun-bossuyt.com/exhibitions/shaunte-gates-poppies-parachutes-iii-we-should-be-flying-by-now/ Smithsonian https://menofchange.si.edu/exhibit/artist-pairings/shaunte-gates/ The Roanoker  https://theroanoker.com/events/shaunt%C3%A9-gates-2025/ Phillips Collection https://www.phillipscollection.org/event/2024-08-25-collaging-shaunte-gates Brooklyn Rail https://brooklynrail.org/2023/10/artseen/Shaunt-Gates-In-Light-of-the-Hunt/ Culture Type https://www.culturetype.com/tag/shaunte-gates/ Washington Informer Bridge https://wibridgedc.com/the-transformative-power-of-found-objects-with-shaunte-gates/ RUSH Philanthropic https://rushphilanthropic.org/artist/shaunte-gates/

Donald Trump has said his administration will abandon efforts to broker a peace deal between Russia and Ukraine unless there are rapid signs of progress. Echoing comments made earlier by the US Secretary of State, Marco Rubio, Mr Trump said he was prepared to walk away. The White House says Mr Rubio presented a peace proposal yesterday to a Ukrainian delegation in Paris and to Russian officials by telephone.Also in the programme: More than eighty people have been killed in the deadliest attack yet by the US on the Houthi movement in Yemen; and deep sea scientists have had a very rare encounter with a colossal squid.

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome back, dear listeners, to another episode of the Daily Radio Bible. It's March 21st, 2025, and we're diving deep into powerful passages from the book of Joshua and 1 Corinthians. I'm Hunter, your brother, and your Bible reading coach, here to guide us on this journey through the Word. Today, we venture through Joshua chapters 9 to 11, witnessing the cunning of the Gibeonites and Joshua's epic battles, showcasing faith interwoven with shrewdness and cunning. We then turn to 1 Corinthians chapter 6, where we are prompted to consider how our faith shapes our interactions within the community. Echoing through these narratives is the call to a faith that is not just wise but rooted deeply in God. Let's allow these scriptures to challenge and encourage us as they point us to the living Word, Jesus. So grab your Bible, settle in, and let's explore these timeless truths together. TODAY'S DEVOTION: Now the Gibeonites were wise, and you might say that their wisdom was rooted in a kind of faith. The same kind of faith Rahab had. Both had confidence that God was going to give the land to Israel. They both responded in fear before God's people, and both acted with wisdom and cunning in order that their people might be saved. In the end, the Gibeonites would be saved by their faith just as Rahab had been saved by her faith. It's their faith in God, the God of Israel, that causes them to make peace with the God of Israel even when their shrewdness was deceitful. They didn't trust in their power, their might, their alliances. No. They sought to make peace with God. There is a shrewdness in these Gibeonites. Their deception leads to their deliverance. They, like Rahab, saw that the God of Israel was a God of deliverance; they recognized that this God delivered the Hebrew people out of Egypt and was giving them this land. And so they were shrewd. They were deceitful. And in their shrewd deceit, they found deliverance. Sometimes faith looks a lot like shrewdness. Jesus tells a parable of the shrewd manager who makes friends with all of his master's debtors in order that he might be delivered from his own financial ruin. He gave away what was not his in order that he might have life. And in a similar way, the people of Gideon gave away something in order that they might have life. They were shrewd, And Jesus commends this kind of shrewdness, the willingness to let go, to give away, to not hold on and insist on my own way. This is the way of faith, and sometimes it looks cunning and shrewd, and sometimes it finds its way into very practical situations in life, like the conflict between sisters and brothers in Christ. Sometimes there must be a shrewdness, a willingness to let go, to give something away in order for there to be peace. This is in part what Paul's trying to show us in our Corinthian reading today. The Corinthians, the Gibeonites, you and I are called to live by faith. A faith that is shrewd, A faith that invests itself primarily in our relationships with God, his people, and this world. And often, we need to give something away to let go of our own way in order that we might have life. May God give us faith that is shrewd, that is cunning, wise, and obedient. That's the prayer that I have for my own soul. That's the prayer that I have for my family, for my wife and my daughters and my son, and that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.   Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.   And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray... Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name, thy kingdom come thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven, give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen. Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.  OUR WEBSITE: www.dailyradiobible.com We are reading through the New Living Translation.   Leave us a voicemail HERE: https://www.speakpipe.com/dailyradiobible Subscribe to us at YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Dailyradiobible/featured OTHER PODCASTS: Listen with Apple Podcast DAILY BIBLE FOR KIDS DAILY PSALMS DAILY PROVERBS DAILY LECTIONARY DAILY CHRONOLOGICAL  

Would you identify an AI song if you pressed play on one? Colm Cahalane and Niall explore what's happening in AI and music now, with an example drawn from the Irish music scene in recent months. Echoing the early Wild Wild West streaming era that we discussed last week with Liz Pelly that gave rise to Spotify's dominance, our chat this week with Colm Cahalane of Irish music Substack blog Fourth Best / Cork label Hausu finds parallels with what's happening with AI and music right now. AI is breaking new ground, and creating new problems and moral issues in doing so. Colm recently posted a ruminating article on AI on Fourth Best, which talks to an artist called Kawaii Hoe who inadvertently, and relatively innocently duped me into covering their energetic AI-generated hyperpop music on the site - Like I said it's the Wild Wild West. We talk about this scary new world of not knowing whether an artist is making music entirely with AI or not, and the implications and creative quandary of generated art. Because you can now make a full music project with AI, does that mean you should? Are AI musicians just really gifted at prompts? Are the outputs music? As AI music flooded streaming platforms, social media and we cannot put the genie back in the bottle, what's next? As Liz Pelly's book shows, Spotify will do what it can to reduce royalty rates so what's to stop it from replacing real artist's music with AI-generated music? Isn't this already happening whether they allow it or not?    * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community Listen on Apple | Android  | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Pod.Link
