Podcasts about Eem

Why do some kids seem to get stuck in a cycle of eczema, allergies, asthma, and one health issue after another and what can you actually do to change it? In this episode, I sit down with holistic-minded pediatrician Dr. Carole Keim to talk about what's happening beneath these symptoms, including the connection between eczema, allergies and asthma, the enormous role of the gut microbiome and why the foods and exposures your child encounters early in life can matter so much. We also get incredibly practical: picky eaters, building more diversity into your child's diet, natural approaches to everyday childhood illnesses and simple ways to support your child's health without turning your entire life upside down. Eczema is nuanced and multifaceted, but you have far more power to influence your child's health than you may realize. The key is knowing which pieces matter for your child—and what to address first. READY TO GET TO THE ROOT OF YOUR CHILD'S ECZEMA? Book an Eczema Elimination Method Alignment Call to talk through what may be keeping your child stuck and whether EEM is the right next step for your family.

Transcript:Nl: 's Nachts, als de maan hoog boven Amersfoort stond en het licht zachtjes over de stad verspreidde, stonden Anouk en Lars bij de Koppelpoort.En: At night, when the moon hung high above Amersfoort and its light softly spread over the city, Anouk and Lars stood by the Koppelpoort.Nl: De beroemde poort, met zijn oude rode bakstenen en gotische uiterlijk, torende boven hen uit.En: The famous gate, with its old red bricks and Gothic appearance, loomed above them.Nl: De kleine golfjes van de Eem kabbelden rustig tegen de oevers.En: The gentle ripples of the Eem murmured quietly against the banks.Nl: Het was zomer, en hoewel de nacht koel was, was de lucht gevuld met het geluid van krekels die hun lied zongen.En: It was summer, and although the night was cool, the air was filled with the sound of crickets singing their song.Nl: Anouk, met haar ogen glinsterend van opwinding, hield een oude, stoffige dagboek in haar handen.En: Anouk, her eyes glistening with excitement, held an old, dusty diary in her hands.Nl: Ze had het eerder die dag ontdekt, verstopt tussen de stenen muren van de Koppelpoort.En: She had discovered it earlier that day, hidden between the stone walls of the Koppelpoort.Nl: Maar het had een slot.En: But it had a lock.Nl: En de vreemde tekens binnenin waren als een puzzel die smeekte om opgelost te worden.En: And the strange symbols inside were like a puzzle begging to be solved.Nl: "We moeten de geheimen ontsluieren," zei Anouk vastberaden, terwijl ze het dagboek omhoog hield.En: "We must uncover the secrets," Anouk said determinedly, raising the diary.Nl: "Stel je eens voor wat het zou kunnen betekenen voor de geschiedenis."En: "Just imagine what it might mean for history."Nl: Lars, aan de andere kant, was twijfelend.En: Lars, on the other hand, was doubtful.Nl: "Anouk... misschien moeten we gewoon naar huis gaan.En: "Anouk, maybe we should just go home.Nl: We weten niet wat we kunnen tegenkomen."En: We don't know what we might encounter."Nl: Maar diep vanbinnen lonkte er een onontdekt vuur in Lars.En: But deep inside, an undiscovered fire beckoned Lars.Nl: Hij kwam altijd op voor de regels, maar er was iets in Anouks enthousiasme dat hem inspireerde.En: He always stood for the rules, but there was something in Anouk's enthusiasm that inspired him.Nl: Hij wilde de sprong wagen, het avontuur een kans geven.En: He wanted to take the leap, give the adventure a chance.Nl: "Oké," zei hij uiteindelijk met een zucht, "laten we gaan.En: "Alright," he eventually said with a sigh, "let's go.Nl: Maar met voorzichtigheid."En: But with caution."Nl: Ze slopen stilletjes de Koppelpoort in, met enkel het zachte licht van hun zaklampen dansend over de muren.En: They quietly slipped into the Koppelpoort, with only the gentle light of their flashlights dancing over the walls.Nl: Het dagboek voerde hen langs een geheime doorgang, diep binnenin de poort.En: The diary led them through a secret passage, deep within the gate.Nl: Plotseling, een donder klapte onverwachts boven hen.En: Suddenly, thunder clapped unexpectedly above them.Nl: Een storm kwam opzetten, en de wind joeg door de nauwe gangen.En: A storm was brewing, and the wind howled through the narrow halls.Nl: Net toen ze dachten dat ze de verkeerde keuze hadden gemaakt, ontdekten ze een verborgen enclave.En: Just as they thought they had made the wrong choice, they discovered a hidden enclave.Nl: Hier, verscholen en beveiligt van de tijd, vonden ze oude stukken stof, gebroken keramiek en schrijfgerei.En: Here, tucked away and protected from time, they found old pieces of cloth, broken ceramics, and writing implements.Nl: Het was een verborgen schat van het verleden.En: It was a hidden treasure from the past.Nl: Snel werkend tegen de storm, ontcijferden ze door teamwork een cruciale deel van de code in het dagboek.En: Working quickly against the storm, they deciphered a crucial part of the code in the diary through teamwork.Nl: Het leidde hen naar een lokale historicus, die bekend was met oude Amersfoortse geheimen.En: It led them to a local historian, who was familiar with old secrets of Amersfoort.Nl: Samen, ontdekten ze meer over de geschiedenis en de betekenis van het dagboek.En: Together, they uncovered more about the history and the significance of the diary.Nl: Anouk leerde deze nacht de waarde van Lars' voorzichtigheid.En: Anouk learned that night the value of Lars' caution.Nl: De samenwerking redde hen.En: The collaboration saved them.Nl: Lars voelde zijn hart kloppen van de opwinding dat hij nooit eerder had gevoeld.En: Lars felt his heart pounding with an excitement he had never felt before.Nl: "Dankjes," fluisterde hij tegen Anouk, "dat ik dit avontuur mocht meemaken."En: "Thank you," he whispered to Anouk, "for letting me experience this adventure."Nl: Ze verlieten de Koppelpoort net toen de eerste regen viel.En: They left the Koppelpoort just as the first rain fell.Nl: Hun ontdekking zou een verhaal worden dat generaties lang zou blijven leven.En: Their discovery would become a tale that would live on for generations.Nl: Anouk en Lars waren niet alleen vrienden maar ontdekkingsreizigers die samen bruggen bouwden tussen het verleden en het heden.En: Anouk and Lars were not just friends but explorers who together built bridges between the past and the present.Nl: En dat was de grootste schat van allemaal.En: And that was the greatest treasure of all.

Send us Fan MailWelcome to you heard it here last where we talk about news, you've already heard.Our first news article is going to kill two birds with one stone.https://ttrpgfans.com/origins-awards/The Origins Awards winners were announced at this years Origins convention that was held in Colombus Ohio June 17th through the 21st. The Origins Awards are an annual award that recognizes excellence in the tabletop gaming industry, including board games, card games, miniatures and roleplaying games. First presented in 1975 at the inaugural Origins Game Fair in Baltimore, the awards are currently managed by the Game Manufacturers Association or GAMA.The winner of the Roleplaying Game of the Year is the Land of Eem Deluxe Box Set by Exalted Funeral. Notably, Land of Eem is a rules-light TTRPG created by authors Ben Costa and James Parks (and based on their Rickety Stitch and the Gelatinous Goo graphic novels). It's described as a lighthearted blend of Lord of the Rings and The Muppets, with a dash of Adventure Time thrown in for good measure.The Winner of the Roleplaying Supplement of the Year is Call of Cthulhu: The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Twin Suns Rising from Chaosium.The Sutra of Pale Leaves – Twin Suns Rising is a campaign supplement for the Call of Cthulhu RPG, set in 1980s Japan. It reimagines the iconic King in Yellow mythos by having a lost, ancient scroll resurface with ties to a sinister entity. The book features three interconnected scenarios and, in addition to featuring many of the familiar Lovecraftian tropes, also explores the unique cultural and historical setting (which is a radical departure from the traditional 1920s setting of New England).But before we dive into the winners and the long list of nominees, Dr. Christina attended Origins this year. Christina, how was the convention this year?[Kick to Christina]Mike, any thoughts on this year's winners[Kick to Mike]Christina, what about you, thoughts on the 2026 Origin Awards Winners?[Kick to Christina]Our next news item will make Dr. Christina very excited.https://ttrpgfans.com/masks-a-new-generation-rpg-second-edition/Ten Years ago, Magpie Games released Masks: A New Generation, the ENNIE award-winning tabletop RPG of teenaged angst and superhero action.Now, after more than a decade, Magpie has officially unveiled details for a new Masks Second Edition.

The project will first land on crowdfunding, but you can sign up for alerts now on Kickstarter or the Magpie website.Christina, on a scale from 1-10 just how excited are you about a second edition of one of your favorite roleplaying games?[Kick to Christina]Mike, I know this isn't up your alley.

Unless you have your own company, most of us in the building industry have been laid off.  I was laid off in the early 1990's and decided to start my own company rather than work for someone else.  Before getting laid off, however, I was exposed to blower door testing and energy modeling through a state of Colorado funded technical assistance program.  I then worked for that State program for a while before becoming a certified energy Rater and home inspector. My new business fully embraced the idea of being able to offer an Energy Improvement mortgage (EIM) to existing home buyers and an Energy efficient mortgage (EEM) for new construction home buyers. It became apparent very quickly that I would not be able to sustain and grow a business on the back of a mortgage product that realtors and mortgage lenders would not embrace so I pivoted with the industry writlarge to working primarily with builders. Energy related mortgages never fully died, and the golden grail has been, to figure out how to more directly adapted the mortgage Principal, Interest, Taxes, and Insurance equation (PITI) to include Energy (PITI+E)Fast forward 30 plus years and let me introduce you to Don Worthington, a mortgage lender with Primary Residential Mortgages who is specializing in bringing back the energy efficient mortgage (EEM) and the improvement mortgage (EIM) through the LOWTILITY mortgage product.

This week we bounce from toy-filled offices and pirate obsessions into brain-powered computers and philosophical robot chaos—before wrapping things up with a very French film discussion and next week's Book Club pick. Real Life Devon kicks things off by giving some Texans a tour of his office—which, unsurprisingly, is packed with what can only be described as adult toys. Naturally, this spirals into a broader conversation about how we're all just kids with slightly more expensive hobbies. No shame there. Ben brings us into the world of VR with Walkabout Mini Golf's Hollywood course (check it out here: https://www.mightycoconut.com/hollywood). But it's not all smooth putting—there's some concern about rising course prices, less frequent releases, layoffs, and reduced iOS support. The vibe is shifting a bit, and not necessarily in a good way. Devon also caught Project Hail Mary in IMAX and came away seriously impressed—calling it one of the best book adaptations he's seen. High praise. That leads into some appreciation for Andy Weir's writing style and a detour into the Cheshire Crossing webcomic, because apparently we're doing high-concept sci-fi and surreal fairy tale mashups in the same breath now. Meanwhile, Steven has fully committed to pirates. A Pirates of the Caribbean rewatch has set the tone, but instead of just watching, he's gearing up to run a full-on Pirate Borg game (https://www.limithron.com/pirateborg). There's also a shoutout to Land of Eem, a muppet-inspired TTRPG being run by Christina's husband—which sounds delightfully weird—but yeah… pirates won this week.   Future or Now Devon brings in something that sounds like it's straight out of a dystopian sci-fi script: data centers powered by human brain cells. Yes, actual biological neurons. https://futurism.com/robots-and-machines/staff-brain-data-center-spine-fluid https://futurism.com/new-computer-neural-network-human-brain-cells These systems require daily maintenance—including swapping out cerebrospinal fluid—which is not a sentence you expect to hear in a tech discussion. What started as experiments where neurons learned to play Pong (https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2022/10/14/1128875298/brain-cells-neurons-learn-video-game-pong) has now escalated to… potentially running DOOM. Because of course it has. If you want to go deeper into the company behind it, check out https://corticallabs.com/. But the real question is: at what point does this stop being "cool innovation" and start being "ethically complicated nightmare fuel"? Ben counters with some technophilosophy, specifically the Three Inverse Laws of Robotics (https://susam.net/inverse-laws-of-robotics.html). It's a fun twist on Asimov's classic rules—basically flipping the script to highlight how things could go very wrong. If Devon's segment is about can we do this?, Ben's is asking should we?   Book Club Next week's read: Through the Machine by P.A. Cornell https://www.lightspeedmagazine.com/fiction/through-the-machine/ This week, the crew dives into Arco!—which you can find here: https://tv.apple.com/us/movie/arco/umc.cmc.16jgcgmdg48xptfayroel0yvy Ben gives a full rundown of the film, clearly coming in as the biggest fan of the group. Steven jumps in with context on the cast and sums up the experience as "very French," which tells you a lot if you've ever watched… well, anything French. Devon lands somewhere in the middle—appreciating a lot of what the movie does, even if it doesn't fully sweep him away. If you're into sci-fi that edges a little too close to reality, pirate RPG chaos, or just three guys trying to figure out where the line is between "cool tech" and "we've gone too far," this episode's got you covered. And if you want more—bonus episodes, unedited chaos, Discord access, and all the weird extras—head over to patreon.com/sciencefactionpodcast and join us there.

In a week where the gold price soared to new heights and the rand flexed impressively against the dollar, The Finance Ghost and Moe-Knows have turned their focus to the high-stakes world of emerging markets. But as global indicators flash green, is it as simple as buying the $EEM? In this episode, Moe breaks down the macro recipe for a sustainable emerging markets rally and why South Africa might be in the sweet spot of a global rotation right now. He warns against ‘betting the farm' on emerging markets overall, highlighting the wisdom of being highly selective in where you place your capital. Ghost brings the conversation a little closer to home. He explores whether macro wins filter down to individual companies, with MTN as a great example of how a stock in South Africa can reflect the dollar realities. He also deals with the recent Clicks and Cashbuild performance and the jitters in the South African consumer story.

More fun stats - A peer?reviewed 2025 study estimates AI data centers (including indirect usage from electricity generation) consumed 312–765 billion liters of water annually. That's more than all bottled water consumed worldwide each year - Direct (on-site) water is used for cooling servers via systems like cooling towers or liquid loops. Indirect (off-site) water stems from electricity generation—particularly from thermal and nuclear plants, which require significant cooling resources - ??? Estimates suggest a single standard AI prompt (about 100 words) is linked to around 1.5 liters of water—accounting for the entire chain of consumption. (This is total usage from cooling powr consumption, electricity generation) - Global AI workloads consumed 50–60 terawatt-hours (TWh) in 2025—roughly the annual electricity use of a medium-sized country like Switzerland. - By 2030, AI-related electricity demand could reach 300–500 TWh annually, according to energy analysts—comparable to the entire electricity consumption of countries like France.

NCBFAA Transportation Committee Spotlight: 2025 Wins, 2026 Priorities & Industry Insights Host: Lalo Solorzano Guest(s): Kim Calicott — NCBFAA Transportation Committee Chair - LinkedIn Rich Roche — NVOCC Subcommittee Chair - LinkedIn Donna Kavanaugh — Export Compliance Subcommittee Chair- LinkedIn Published: November 26, 2026 Length: ~ 44 min. Presented by: Global Training Center — globaltrainingcenter.com Episode Summary In this special collaboration with the National Customs Brokers & Forwarders Association of America (NCBFAA), Simply Trade launches a multi-episode series highlighting the critical work of NCBFAA committees. This episode features the Transportation Committee, covering NVOCC activity, export compliance, air freight, logistics, and the evolving regulatory landscape. Host Lalo Solorzano speaks with committee chair Kim Calicott, along with subcommittee leaders Rich Roche (NVOCC) and Donna Kavanaugh (Export Compliance). The group breaks down the major wins and challenges of 2025, key regulatory shifts, and what members should expect heading into 2026. Key Learnings & Themes 1. Transportation Committee Overview Kim explains the structure of the Transportation Committee and its four subcommittees: NVOCC Subcommittee (Rich Roche): Guidance on OSRA, FMC rulemaking, D&D billing, “clear as mud” interpretations, and a forthcoming NVOCC Best Practices Working Group. Export Compliance Subcommittee (Donna Kavanaugh): Monitoring regulatory activity from BIS, OFAC, Census, CBP, and DDTC while educating members on practical impacts. Air Freight Subcommittee (Donna Mullins): Infrastructure modernization efforts, partnership with the Airforwarders Association (AFA), and involvement in a GAO study on air cargo facility conditions. Logistics Committee: Watching driver shortages, truck/equipment tariff impacts, Electronic Export Manifest (EEM) development, and alignment with international systems like ICS2. 2. 2025 Regulatory Swing Highlights include: FMC's D&D Final Rule implementation and the section struck down by the courts. BIS tightening China-related controls and reevaluating rules inherited from prior administrations. Pause on the significant Affiliates Rule, which may reemerge in 2026. Changing rules related to firearms, AI, and Syria sanctions. “Clear as mud” advisory responses from FMC's General Counsel. 3. Advocacy That Makes a Difference NCBFAA's early engagement with agencies prevents harmful regulatory outcomes—such as removing unintended burdens on NVOCCs in OSRA's original wording. 4. Encouragement for New Participants Both Kim and Donna stress: No one starts out knowing everything Every question matters Committee involvement accelerates growth and strengthens the industry The association thrives on collaboration across company size, mode, and experience level 5. Looking Ahead to 2026 Key upcoming items include: Launch of the NVOCC Best Practices Working Group Ongoing work on EEM and air cargo modernization BIS rule reviews after the Affiliates Rule pause Continued focus on driver shortages and equipment tariffs NVOCC Day 2026 in New Orleans on January 22 Takeaways for Listeners NCBFAA membership is valuable for all trade professionals—brokers, forwarders, logistics providers, and affiliates. Exporting remains highly regulated and rapidly evolving—missteps can be significant. Committee participation is one of the most impactful ways to deepen knowledge and support industry-wide improvements. Agencies are shifting priorities quickly; staying informed is essential.

In this episode, we go into how energy medicine can complement traditional talk therapy. Mary Grigsby, a seasoned therapist trained in both traditional and alternative healing modalities, discusses her approach to integrating energy medicine into psychotherapy. The conversation covers practical energy medicine techniques, the role of the body's energy systems in emotional regulation, and ethical considerations. Mary also demonstrates several simple energy medicine practices that listeners can try immediately. Ethical considerations and trainingEnergy medicine techniques for trauma and substance abusePractical energy medicine exercisesComparing energy medicine and ReikiMEET Mary GrigsbyMary is a seasoned therapist with training in both traditional and alternative healing modalities. She brings a deep respect for the body's innate wisdom and its ability to guide the healing process. Her approach is holistic, integrating knowledge from functional and integrative medicine with practices such as mindfulness, EMDR, and Brainspotting. Mary's training in Donna Eden's Energy Medicine (EEM) has expanded her ability to support clients who may not respond to conventional talk therapy. She has successfully used EEM in a wide range of contexts—including cancer treatment support, infertility, organ transplant recovery, digestive issues, and chronic pain. It has proven especially effective for individuals who are either reluctant to discuss their challenges or who are too anxious or dysregulated to benefit from traditional therapeutic approaches. Providing adjunct energy work is one of Mary's greatest passions. In this role, she focuses on addressing trauma and areas where clients feel stuck, while their primary therapist continues to support other aspects of their healing journey.

Just as Bible sales in the U.S. grew in 2024 with more people looking for sources of hope and strength in these challenging times, individuals throughout Eastern Europe and the surrounding regions – especially those impacted by the war in Ukraine – have similarly turned to faith as the only sure foundation in an unsteady world. EEM shares reports of growing church attendance and an openness to Bible education in public schools alongside stories of lives changed as hearts are exposed to God's Word, often for the very first time in their own language.“We are humbled to be a part of the amazing work that God is doing, as we celebrate every day the fact that His Word will accomplish its purposes,” said EEM VP Dirk Smith. “Just imagine, if each Bible given means a new believer welcomed into the Kingdom – which is always our prayer and aim – what joy these numbers bring to our hearts!” Dirk Smith Vice President Dirk Smith joined Eastern European Mission following his highly successful tenure as a development officer with his alma mater, Harding University.

What is the cost? That is the question we are asking today on Like it Matters Radio. There is usually a cost. I am not talking about a number that is placed on an item that we need to exchange currency to have. This is beyond money. Certain things have a COST that is far greater than money, currency or exchange value. The Freedoms America has had for 100+ years had a cost. The loss of our freedom today has a cost. For many around the world, following Jesus has a cost. Today’s hour of power is talking about that cost. The specific question; How much did that Bible cost, to get into your hands. If I mentioned men like William Tyndale, and John Wycliffe, with a little study you would see the COST that these men paid for defying a country, The Catholic Church and the forces of Evil to print a Bible in ENGLISH- it was ILLEGAL! Today you will hear about Tyndale, if you didn’t already know. However, Tyndale is merely our launching point to get us to a ministry called EEM. The mission of EEM began in 1961 when a small band of missionaries bravely answered God’s call to take His Word to the people under the rule of the IRON CURTAIN, the Soviet Union. Today you will hear of a man by the name of Gwen Hensley, and the cost he paid to get the Bible in the native tongue of people who had never read it, never heard it and were outlawed from having it.

Brooke also shares impactful stories from the field, offering insights into storytelling that inspires faith and connection. __________________________________________________________   Ready for more?

Can any woman change the world?  Discover the potential of women to be world changers with this week's inspiring guest, Brooke Kehl! Brooke Kehl, Marketing Director of Eastern European Mission, explores what it really means for women to step into their calling, take faith-driven risks, and create ripple effects of hope across the globe. Brooke shares her personal journey growing up in a missionary family, the powerful influence of other women's testimonies, and moving stories of transformation—like Zara's courageous faith despite its manifold risks to her life. This episode is filled with authentic conversations about overcoming the comfort zone, staying faithful through challenges, and practical encouragement for anyone wondering if they're truly cut out to make a difference. Listen in to learn how ordinary acts and steadfast faith can change lives around the world—and how you, too, are invited to become a world changer right where you are. Catch Up: Highlights from Our Episode with Brooke Kehl Brooke's journey began in East Africa, where she learned firsthand what “risky faith” looks like from her missionary parents. Over the past seven years with EEM, she's devoted her life to spreading hope across cultures, and in our conversation, she opens up about the power of testimony, stepping out of your comfort zone, and why courage starts with experiencing God's love. Stories That Inspire Action Brooke shares the story of Zahra, a refugee from Afghanistan, whose life—and that of her husband—was forever changed by encountering Jesus through a Bible in her own language. Despite facing grave danger, Zahra's courage ignited a ripple effect that started a church among other Afghans and led to an entirely new chapter of hope for many. Another unforgettable story is that of Faena from Kazakhstan, who memorized just one verse of scripture in a prison cell—and discovered transformative love and purpose, now passing on that hope to others in Central Asia. Real Talk: Choosing Calling Over Comfort Brooke doesn't pretend risk-taking is easy. She honestly shares her struggle with comfort and reveals how leaning on God for strength—and surrounding herself with inspiring women—has kept her moving forward, even when it feels easier to quit. How You Can Make A Difference Today You might wonder, “Am I really a world changer?” Brooke says YES! You don't need to travel the globe to live on mission. Opening your heart to people around you—at a coffee shop, in your neighborhood, in daily conversations—can change lives. Every small step, backed by God's love, matters. Connect, Learn, and Get Involved Want more inspiring stories? Visit EEM.org, and follow Eastern European Mission on Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, and YouTube. You'll find testimony-filled newsletters, more powerful podcasts, and opportunities to join their mission. Final Word of Encouragement Brooke reminds us that courage comes from knowing how deeply we are loved by God. When we root ourselves in that truth, we find the strength to say “yes” to impact—wherever we are.   We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation.

It's Friday, December 27th, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. Filling in for Adam McManus, I'm Ean Leppin. Ministry distributes Bibles in Ukraine Reported by the Christian Post, a ministry based in Texas is printing and distributing Bibles and other gospel-centered materials through a vast network of churches and Christian organizations to Eastern Europe. The organization is the Eastern European Mission, or the EEM. This year, the EEM had a goal to distribute 970,000 Bibles and other Christian-based materials in over 30 countries in total and in 20 different languages.  This includes the war-torn country of Ukraine. In fact, requests for materials have increased. Vice President of the EEM, Dirk Smith, says, “God uses evil, and this war is definitely not from a good place…” However, nonbelievers are looking at the believers and wanting to know how they are handling these terrible circumstances. Believers are needing more material to share Christ in these trying times. According to the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees, 6.8 million refugees from Ukraine are recorded globally, and nearly 4 million people are displaced in Ukraine as of November. Romans 10:14-15: How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching? And how are they to preach unless they are sent? As it is written, “How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the good news!” Canadian pastor sentenced on December 23 A pastor named Derek Reimer of Mission 7 Ministries in Calgary appeared in court for sentencing back on November 27 after being found guilty in August of criminal harassment and 4 counts of breaching bail conditions—all of this stemming from a conversation with a service delivery manager of a public library. According to Rebel News.com, Pastor Reimer approached the manager at Saddletowne Public Library to ask why the library was hosting events where adults dressed in drag and read books to children, often encouraging the children's exploration of sexual identity and promoting non-traditional values. The manager refused to engage in the conversation and asked Reimer to leave, which he did, but did comment that he would likely return to protest. Reimer also posted about this interaction on his social media, voicing his disapproval. Even though the manager, Shannon Slater, never submitted a victim impact statement to the Canadian Court, Pastor Reimer was still convicted on Dec 23rd. Justice Molle delivered his sentence, including, among other things, a $500 fine, 12 months of house arrest, and 2 years of probation. During his sentence, he must also write an apology letter to the manager Shannon Slater, be banned within 300 meters of a public library on days with a scheduled Reading with Royalty event, and is even prohibited from “entertaining friends at his personal home.” See the full list of his required punishment in his sentencing in the link in our transcript at TheWorldview.com. Hebrews 10:22-23: Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, with our hearts sprinkled clean from an evil conscience and our bodies washed with pure water. Let us hold fast the confession of our hope without wavering, for he who promised is faithful.” Chaos at airport in Phoenix Chaos erupted the day after Christmas at the Sky Harbor Airport in Phoenix. The Associated Press reports that around 9:45pm on Dec 26th, a group of people at an airport restaurant had a disagreement that escalated to the point that one man pulled out a gun and another man pulled out a knife. An adult female and 2 males were shot, leaving the female with life-threatening injuries. The two men were in stable condition, including another man with a stab wound. Two hours later, in an unrelated incident, another man showed up with a bag full of guns after he had received a text saying there was an active shooter at the airport. He began to distribute guns to other people at the airport before he was stopped by a police officer. The man struggled with the officer and had to be detained. Phoenix police are still investigating. Christian Posts' top-five stories on Christian entertainment in 2024 And finally, Christian Post.com has released their top five stories that defined Christian entertainment in 2024. See the full list in our transcript, but here are the top 3. Number 3: The opening ceremony of the Olympic Games in Paris back in July. Many notable people responded, including Harrison Butker of the Kansas City Chiefs, Actress Candace Cameron Bure, and Pastor Greg Laurie. Franklin Graham commented, “Even more than being disrespectful to Christians, I would be concerned about being disrespectful to God. His word tells us, ‘Be not deceived, God is not mocked.' It would be nice if President Biden, a Catholic, would issue a statement condemning this. Whether you're Catholic, Orthodox, Anglican or Protestant, it is offensive." Number 2: Two high-profile baptisms made news this year of actors Russell Brand and Denzel Washington. Brand has been very vocal about his conversion and continues to speak out about his experience with the Lord and his spiritual journey on social media. Denzel Washington told Esquire magazine “If God can do this for me, there's nothing He can't do for you. The sky literally is the limit and there's no limit to the sky.” When asked if he was unafraid to discuss his faith in the light of what Hollywood might think he simply replied, “I don't care what anyone thinks … I'm free now.” Number 1 was the surprising passing of Christian singer Mandisa on April 18th at the age of 47. Mandisa was very open about her struggles with depression and anxiety and how her faith helped her overcome those difficulties. Her rise to fame started on the reality show American Idol in 2006. Her album Overcomer, released in 2013, won a Grammy for Best Contemporary Christian Music Album. During her career, she sold 1.6 million albums. One of her favorite passages was Psalm 13. Verses 5 and 6 say, “But I have trusted in your steadfast love; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation. I will sing to the Lord, because He has dealt bountifully with me.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, December 27th, in the year of our Lord 2024.
