In this episode, Eric Chow is joined by The Most Reverent J. Michael Miller, CSB, and returning guest, Brett Powell. They discuss the Archbishop's keynote at the Upper Room 2021 Conference, the Church's relationship with society today, the co-responsibility of the laity and the clergy in the mission of the Church, and the role that Proclaim has in the Archdiocese of Vancouver. Discussion Questions: What stood out to you the most from this episode? As the laity in the Church, how can we support the clergy in the mission of the Church? How can we take action in serving God alongside our priests and religious brothers and sisters? In your opinion, how has society impacted the Church? How has the Church impacted society? How can we, as faithful Catholics and disciples, proclaim the Good News today? Brett describes the Church seen as a “trusted lighthouse” before. But today, it seems that is no longer the case.

Hello everybody and welcome to another episode of Good Chaos (Insert catchy jingle)! My name is Ryli and I am the host and creator of the show. I hope the start of this description makes you think of one of those Disney Channel tv crossovers from the early 2000s, shout out to all the 90s kids who know what I'm talking about. In the spirit of Valentine's Day, we have a very special and unique episode. As you know, I (Zach) am the creator and host of this podcast. However, this episode is hosted by my extremely kind and talented friend, Ryli. Less than 48 hours ago I reached out to her to get her input on an idea. She took that idea and turned it into what you are about to hear today. Valentine's Day is usually associated with love. While having love for others is important, it's extremely important to have self-love. This episode has a few special guests share their thoughts on self-love, and then it has our honorary ZAP! host, Ryli, take over to make me my own guest. The idea that Ryli pitched to me was to have me share more about myself and my experiences and thoughts on self-love. Exactly like how I do things, Ryli was on brand and directed our unscripted and completely off the cusp and spur of the moment conversation. As much as I love going unscripted, there's a moment where I completely misunderstand the question and ramble so that was fun haha. My podcast means a lot to me and giving control and the host seat to someone else is something I never considered and can be a little intimidating. But, there's truly no one else that I could think of that would be a better host. Huge shout out and thank you to Ryli for the idea and being a great host. Special thanks to our special guests!

In this episode, we continue our Intentional Accompaniment series with Proclaim Director, Eric Chow and CCO Missionary, Michael Hall. In this series, they break down CCO's model of Intentional Accompaniment - an essential skill for missionary disciples. In this episode, Eric and Michael discuss the layers of who are a part of the journey of accompanying others through CCO's 1-2-3-4 model, and dive deeper into the meaning of the scripture verse, 2 Timothy 2:2. Discussion Questions: What stood out to you the most from this episode? Have you heard of CCO's 1-2-3-4 model before? Have you had experience to a leadership structure similar to this concept in the past? What are your thoughts on this model? How can this model help each person (1s, 2s, 3s, 4s) in the ministry/movement? "Who are the next generation of missionary disciples?" How have you helped those that you have accompanied to become the next leaders? If you've witnessed those you have accompanied become leaders, share your story with the group. What did you learn from that experience? If you haven't experienced this yet, keeping in mind that the one who leads in this accompaniment is the Holy Spirit, what are your dreams for your 1s? 2s? 3s? In the context of leading a program or small group, it is easy to identify the 1s, 2s, and the 4s. But where we lack is finding and identifying the 3s within our ministry. How can we help build up the 2s into future 3s? As leaders in our community, how can we intentionally help 2s (and even 1s) become future 3s one day? Michael Hall is the author of "Intentional Accompaniment" and a missionary with Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO).

In this episode, we continue our Intentional Accompaniment series with Proclaim Director, Eric Chow and CCO Missionary, Michael Hall. In this series, they break down CCO's model of Intentional Accompaniment - an essential skill for missionary disciples. In this episode, Eric and Michael discuss prophetic listening: a crucial component in accompanying others, and they share four practical tips to intentionally build this skill. Discussion Questions: What stood out to you from this episode? "If the Lord is calling you to mission, ministry, or to a particular person, and we know that He has a plan for those people, and He has a plan for us personally; doesn't it make sense, that if He wants you to help a person to move in a direction that He wants to move, that He would let us in the plan?". Our guest, Michael, describes prophetic listening in this way. Think back when you were accompanying others (or when someone was accompanying you), have you had moments of prophetic listening with God? What happened during that encounter? "If you don't take that risk, you won't ever discover how far you can take that conversation". Has this ever happened to you? Have you ever felt scared or intimidated to delve deeper in getting to know someone new? What happened? What steps can you take to ensure that you're inviting the Holy Spirit into your future conversations and encounters? Think back on the four skills of prophetic listening that Michael shared: "build rapport", "survey", "zoom in" and "strengthen". Which skills do you excel at? Which skills do you find challenging? As a group, brainstorm ideas on how to build on these skills together, and what helped you in your own journey. If time allows, try practicing these new skills together. Find a partner, listen to each other applying what you've learned about prophetic listening, and share feedback with one another. What have you learned from this experience/exercise?

In this episode, we continue our Intentional Accompaniment series with Proclaim Director, Eric Chow and CCO Missionary, Michael Hall. In this series, they break down CCO's model of Intentional Accompaniment - an essential skill for missionary disciples. In this episode, Eric and Michael discuss the three main aspects of Intentional Accompaniment: people, programs, and paraclete, and the importance of radical commitment in accompaniment. Discussion Questions: "When we're planning this parish event, we put the focus on what's the room gonna look like, what's the registration process going to work .. All those things are important, you don't wanna forget those things ... But at the end, you put so much focus on that, that you forget that the event is about reaching individual people". Have you ever experienced this in ministry? What steps can you take to ensure that you focus on your overall mission? "We have to have a radical commitment to a one-person-at-a-time mentality. A radical commitment to one person at a time". This is a powerful statement from our guest, Michael. Accompanying others in their journey to Christ is a personal encounter. What does Radical Commitment mean to you? How can focusing on one-person-at-a-time benefit the accompanier and the one who's being accompanied? "Let the Holy Spirit take the lead". What is my relationship with the Holy Spirit? How can we trust the promptings of the Holy Spirit in our own spiritual journeys and in the way that we accompany others? How can we let the Holy Spirit to take the lead in ministry and in our own lives? Michael Hall is the author of "Intentional Accompaniment" and a missionary with Catholic Christian Outreach (CCO).

In this episode, we continue our Intentional Accompaniment series with Proclaim Director, Eric Chow and CCO Missionary, Michael Hall. In this series, they break down CCO's model of Intentional Accompaniment - an essential skill for missionary disciples. In this episode, Eric and Michael discuss the role of an accompanier, how to grow in our interior life, and how to build the foundation of holiness and mission in accompaniment. Discussion Questions: "As an apprentice, you don't just go into a classroom and study how to be a cabinet maker or a plumber, and get thrown out into the field when you're deemed ready...There's that person who's there over your shoulder not to criticize you, but to be a support and a role model and who walks with you along the way." Michael shares about the importance and significance of having someone walk with you in your spiritual journey. When you think about your own spiritual journey, has there been moments where you felt like an "apprentice"? Who were your mentors? How have they helped you in growing in holiness and mission? As we grow and mature in our Catholic faith, it is likely that we have encountered others in that are in the beginning stages of their spiritual journey that we can accompany. Who have you accompanied? What insights and lessons have you learned about God, yourself, and the person you accompanied in the process? How have you helped them in their growth? If you haven't accompanied anyone before and would like to, was there a time that you felt an opportunity of accompanying others came up in the past? How can you prepare yourself to be an accompanier in the future? How have you passed on "the message and the mission" in your day-to-day life? What steps have you taken to grow in holiness and mission? What actions have you taken to learn more about our Catholic faith? How have you matured in holiness and multiplying in mission?

Eric is currently a college student, fellow podcaster, entrepreneur, and dreamer. Something that I love about Eric is his mindset. I've been fortunate enough to meet a lot of awesome people, but something about Eric's positivity and mindset has really stuck with me. Being able to call Eric a friend has not only helped me improve my mindset, but it has always taught me a lot about life. It's crazy to think that Eric is still so early on in his journey. Eric has so much wisdom and knowledge about life and it has been an honor to learn from him. I'm extremely interested in seeing all of the incredible work and things Eric accomplishes.

Eric isn't your normal entrepreneur. Acing through school and attending college at the time of this recording, he is also involved with network marketing, tutoring, has his own podcast, and is the Chief Consultant for my own company, Mashman Ventures. In his first-ever interview where he is the one getting asked the questions, we dive into his upbringing, goals, and talk about how unconventional paths can lead to the best opportunities.

Chow gives advice on purifying DNA samples using magnetic beads and on determining the quality of your nucleic acid sample using an Agilent Bioanalyzer.

Chow gives advice on purifying DNA samples using magnetic beads and on determining the quality of your nucleic acid sample using an Agilent Bioanalyzer.

Chow discusses Illumina NGS Sample Preparation. He goes over DNA and RNA preparation, bead-based (Ampure or SPRI) cleanups, and sample quantification and quality control.

In the past decade there has been an amazing change in the efficiency of DNA sequencing. Using traditional Sanger sequencing, the human genome project took 20 years and cost $3 billion. Current next generation sequencing methods allow a human genome to be sequenced for $1000, in 48 hours!  In this talk, Eric Chow explains the chemistry behind next generation sequencing, and describes how the next gen sequencers detect and display results. The most commonly used Illumina sequencers are image based and detect the addition of fluorescently labelled nucleotides. Chow also describes two different next generation sequencing technologies which provide benefits such as much longer reads but with downsides such as higher error rates. Chow finishes the talk with some insights into medical applications of next gen sequencing such as much less invasive prenatal testing or cancer detection.

Single cell sequencing, as the name implies, allows researchers to examine the genomic information for individual cells. This provides an opportunity to examine cell-to-cell differences and identify cell subtypes, which provides insight into how specific cells function within and respond to their environment. Dr. Eric Chow begins his talk with an overview of single cell sequencing with a focus on RNA. He then goes on to outline the predominant approaches, including plate-based, microfluidic-based, and combinatorial indexing methods. He finishes by addressing approaches to single cell analysis that don't rely on RNA, including methods that use DNA, proteins, and antibodies. He also reviews some of the benefits and limitations of analysis at the level of individual cells.
