I became a servant of this gospel by the gift of God's grace given me through the working of his power. Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me: to preach to the Gentiles the boundless riches of Christ, and to make plain to everyone the administration of this mystery, which for ages past was kept hidden in God, who created all things (Ephesians 3:7-9). This passage undermines a common misunderstanding of grace in the Christian church. In fact, it reveals, that we have shrunk grace down to something that we can manage. But it does not belong to us. It belongs to God. So we must allow him to define what grace is, what it means, and what it does. For many Christians, we understand grace simply and only as something that we receive from God. It is limited to the forgiveness of sins and the “get out of jail free” card that permits us to escape this world into heaven someday. Its like grandmother's fine china: as a precious possession, it remains locked up in the china cabinet for display and safe keeping. But rarely does it take up a place at the dinner table where life happens. God's grace is much more than that. It enlists us. Paul was made a servant because of “the gift of God's grace.” The gift obligates and equips. Grace in this verse does not relate to Paul's salvation, but to his ministry. Through grace he became a servant of the gospel. Grace connects us to Christ and to each other, but it also enlists and empowers us in the ministry of Christ. Grace always brings responsibility. Paul alluded to this earlier, “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith… For we are God's handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” (2:8a,10). In our text, we are told how it worked in Paul's life. Paul viewed himself as a steward of the grace given him. His ministry to the Gentiles was unique, but all Christians are to be stewards of grace. All who have received grace should extend it to others. This becomes the main theme in chapter 4, where Paul writes, “But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it” (4:7). Peter puts it rather bluntly, “Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God's grace in its various forms” (1 Peter 4:10). To receive grace is to be taken into its service. Grace connects, enlists, and empowers. It will not allow us to be passive, for it is God's power at work in us. Do we think ourselves not good enough or worthy enough to serve in this way? Paul anticipates the objection. “Although I am less than the least of all the Lord's people, this grace was given me…” Paul says. He perhaps felt he should have been rejected because he persecuted the church, but God chose him anyway—a choice not based on his ability, but on God's grace. Anything he accomplished was a result of the power of God at work in him. What is the stewarding service that God's grace enlists you in today? The answer is the same as the answer to the question of what you will do or did do today. Nothing in this world moves or works without God's gracious gifts, provisions, and salvations animating it—these being “the boundless riches of Christ.” The breath we breathe is the breath of God. The skills, know-how, curiosities, and passion we deploy in our work, home, volunteering, and schooling are gifts of God. The world in which we live is his creation. In other words: everything you do is already knee deep in the world of God's grace. The only question is how will your life today reveal a God-attentive stewardship of all that grace? How will the grace you've received serve his glory? The fine china is already on the table: God put it there—use it! As you journey on, go with the blessing of God: Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. (Ephesians 3:20-21)

On the US culture wars, then and now. Historian Andrew Hartman, author of A War for the Soul of America, talks to Alex about how US Americans have been sorted into cultural camps over the past fifty years. We discuss: Who started it? And who perpetuates it? What is the "culture" in the culture war? And is it a war, or a series of skirmishes? Is there something particularly American about culture wars? The culture wars have followed the breakup of liberalism – so, what comes next? Do culture wars necessarily presuppose identity politics?

https://youtube.com/live/ugkL1xsjHSw When Joe Satriani was announced as part of Sammy Hagar's Best Of All Worlds Tour – seen by many as the closest thing to a Van Halen tribute – he embarked on a lengthy journey to perfect his tone for the role. Satriani admitted his usual rig wasn't up to the task, so he created a new setup to capture the essence of Eddie Van Halen's iconic sound. This included collaborating with 3rd Power to develop a tube amp inspired by Eddie's Marshall and modifying stock EVH Frankie guitars with speed knobs, Sustainer pickups, and other tweaks. As Satriani shared in Guitarist, these modifications were essential, as he initially struggled with the Frankenstein guitar, finding it nearly unplayable. “I tried seven Frankensteins and had to rely on the shop owner's advice on how they sounded. The one that works for me now didn't sound great right out of the box.” When Joe Satriani first picked up the Frankenstein guitar, he found it "lifeless" and struggled to keep it in tune. It took him two weeks of constant adjustments to make it playable. To solve these issues, Satriani reached out to Eddie Van Halen's former guitar techs for advice on optimizing the design. They shared their techniques, like filing down specific parts, adjusting screws, and making tweaks to improve tuning stability. Taking creative liberties, Satriani adapted the guitar to his needs, even replacing the pickup with a Sustainiac to handle a variety of songs from Van Halen, Chickenfoot, and his own catalog. "I didn't have time to switch guitars between songs, so I made each one work for multiple things," Satriani explained. Despite facing criticism from some fans for altering such an iconic instrument, Satriani embraced the challenge, even joking that Eddie might haunt him for it. His modifications paid off, and he's now confidently playing Eddie's parts on the Best Of All Worlds tour. To prepare, Satriani didn't just revamp his gear—he also studied how other guitarists interpreted Eddie Van Halen's legendary style. “Exclusively Van Halen" is the ultimate destination for all things Van Halen. Step into the world of rock and roll legends as we delve deep into the history, music, and trivia surrounding one of the most iconic bands of all time. Join us as we explore Van Halen's storied career, from their electrifying performances to the making of their timeless hits. Get to know the band members, their inspirations, and the stories behind the songs that have rocked generations. But that's not all – tune in for exciting giveaways where you can win exclusive Van Halen merchandise and more. Whether you're a die-hard fan or just discovering the magic of Van Halen, this show promises to keep you entertained, informed, and rocking out from start to finish. Get ready to jump into the world of "Exclusively Van Halen" and experience the music like never before. We talk all things Van Halen!

This likely not the conversation you're expecting. Chef James Taco Morley, and Chef Kacey Cummings are two men with a passion for putting good in the world. We talk about where their love of cooking came from, sobriety, the intricacies of working in a restaurant, their non profit, and resilience. James Taco Morley is a 42 year old girl dad born in Oakland Ca, and raised all around the Bay Area and Sonoma Co. Enlisted in the US Army after High School and traveled the world through training assignments and multiple deployments in support of both Operations Iraqi and Enduring Freedom. After the military he attended The Culinary Institute of America at Greystone and is now Head Private Event Chef for a local Texas Ranch, as well as Humanitarian, and Cofounder of the homeless outreach nonprofit, EngageHumanityATX. Born and raised in Austin, Chef Kacey embarked on his culinary adventures within the bustling local restaurant scene. It was during his tenure at the prestigious Austin Renaissance Hotel from 1997 to 2007 where he honed his craft, followed by a transformative experience at the Marriott Quorum in Dallas for the final three years of his hotel career. In 2010, an opportunity arose for him to assume the role of Executive Chef at IPIC Theaters' inaugural Austin location, setting the stage for his ascent to Corporate Chef, overseeing new store openings. Recognized for his passion and expertise, Kacey transitioned in 2017 to the realm of construction and design, relinquishing daily operations to focus on shaping culinary spaces. Guided by exceptional mentors and propelled by remarkable opportunities, Kacey's journey spans three decades, culminating in his ability to envision, construct, and manage large-scale, multi-concept venues. Today, he stands at the intersection of culinary artistry and operational excellence, driven by a relentless pursuit of innovation and quality. Please consider donating to their cause.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the busy season that is upon us; we have several MBA admissions deadlines upcoming this week; Georgetown / McDonough and Johns Hopkins / Carey have their Early Action round deadlines. Stanford, Michigan / Ross, Columbia, Yale SOM, INSEAD, Northwestern / Kellogg and Berkeley / Haas have their Round 1 application deadlines. The Clear Admit “Inside the MBA Admissions Process” event series begins this week and runs for three weeks, on September 11th, 18th and 25th. Our first event includes INSEAD, London Business School, UPenn / Wharton, Emory / Goizueta and Michigan / Ross. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/insidemba Graham highlighted recent news from GMAC, which is launching a new writing exam, now that the AWA element of the traditional GMAT test has been eliminated. We discussed Harvard admissions team's desire to see a writing sample for all its candidates. Graham then highlighted several admissions-related articles that have been recently published on Clear Admit. They include admissions tips focused on GMAT and GRE test waivers (don't if you are able to take a test) and MBA programs which don't require the test (we still encourage candidates to take a test). Admissions tips that focus on video essays, which are becoming more popular, and the need to avoid comparing your target MBA program with other programs, through the admissions process. Finally, Graham noted an in-depth survey of visa requirements for international MBA students who plan to study outside their home country. Graham highlighted three Adcom Q&As, from IMD, Vanderbilt / Owen and Cornell / Johnson. We then discussed two recently published class profiles. UCLA / Anderson experienced an incredible 41% increase in application volume last season, and Duke / Fuqua was able to recruit a class where female enrolment eclipsed 50% for the first time. Both these class profiles are very impressive. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and a Question from LiveWire: This week's first MBA admissions candidate is going to be sponsored for their MBA by a “big 4” consulting firm. They appear to have done very well at work, and they also have a very good profile for sustainability initiatives. Their numbers, 3.3 GPA and 690 GMAT, are a potential area of concern. This week's second MBA candidate enlisted in the military straight out of high school. Once they completed their military service they started their undergraduate degree at a community college, they have now transferred to Stanford, and are studying Mechanical Engineering. We anticipate they have a very interesting “lived experience” that may play well in MBA admissions. The final MBA candidate for this week posed a question on MBA LiveWire regarding their reapplication process. They are planning to retake the GRE, as well as transition to a new job. The question is whether to apply in Round 1 or Round 2. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA. Thanks to all of you who've been joining us and please remember to rate and review this show wherever you listen!

Michael talks about prayer as “the most effective tool” in his toolkit. What additional tools can you use when facing hard times?

STORY 1: Blake Witmer following in her father's footsteps as UGA orientation leader Blake Witmer, a rising junior at the University of Georgia, secured a coveted role as an orientation leader this summer, following in her father's footsteps. Each year, only 20 out of over 100 applicants are chosen for this role, which involves introducing new students and families to campus life. Blake was delighted to learn she would be "Saucy 6," the same number her father had as an orientation leader. She's deeply involved in campus activities, including student government and journalism, and plans to pursue a career in publishing despite her family's teaching background. Blake finds fulfillment in mentoring new students and enjoys the dynamic atmosphere of UGA's orientation sessions, which she describes as a highlight of her summer experience.

STORY 3: Some Asian-American Lawmakers From Gwinnett Backing Harris' Presidential Run Following President Joe Biden's decision not to seek re-election, Asian-American lawmakers from Gwinnett County swiftly expressed support for Vice President Kamala Harris as the Democratic Party's potential nominee for the presidency. Harris, of mixed Jamaican and South Asian descent, would be the first Black woman and the first Asian-American to hold the office if elected. State Sen. Nabilah Islam Parkes and other Democratic legislators from Gwinnett, including Reps. Sam Park, Marvin Lim, and Farooq Mughal, endorsed Harris, highlighting her historic candidacy and praising her and Biden's engagement with Georgia's AAPI community. Not all Asian-American lawmakers in Gwinnett support Harris; Rep. Soo Hong, a Republican, remains aligned with his party. Meanwhile, other Democratic lawmakers, both AAPI and non-AAPI, also voiced support for Harris on social media. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows.

Dear Steve and Shirley, I am 57 years old and have been married to an intelligent, extremely good looking 60 year old man for ten years. We're admired by friends and family because we seem to have the perfect marriage. At home and in public, we act like two teenagers in love. We send each other silly texts all day and we play all kind of silly games at home.............. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Confused about continuation pay? Join the club. Unfortunately, too many servicemembers and their leaders are confused about the continuation pay benefit in the BRS. In today's episode with Brandon Lovingier, ChFC®, MQFP® aka The Enlisted Money Guy™, we share all you need to know to understand the benefit. For active duty, it's currently: 2.5 times your monthly base pay in either a lump sum or up to 4 equal, annual payments. For example, a monthly base pay of $4,252 x 2.5 = $10,630 bonus or $8,684 monthly base pay x 2.5 = $21,710 bonus (pre-tax) Other important points from the episode: When am I eligible for continuation pay? Does it come automatically? Does the program vary by service? How does the payment come to me? Does it reduce my pension? What is the service commitment after taking the bonus? Does it impact my eligibility for other bonuses like a re-enlistment bonus or aviation bonus?
