It is my privilege to invite you to today's sermon podcast. . May today's sermon come alive to you and aid you in your understanding of God's plan for your life. This episode explores perseverance through the story of Ernest Shackleton and the warnings and encouragements of Hebrews 10. It outlines four truths for better endurance: a clear-eyed view of reality, recalling God's past grace, anchoring hope in a promised future, and exercising faith that refuses to shrink back. Practical application includes sharing your biggest faith challenge with a friend for prayer and accountability. ---- “A Better Endurance” Hebrews 10:26–39 Main Idea: Endurance isn't about strength - it's about staying faithful. Introduction - “Have you ever felt like giving up?” Endurance begins with a clear-eyed view of reality (vv. 26–31) Endurance starts when we take seriously what's at stake Warning: Rejecting Christ is spiritual self-destruction. Endurance grows when we see that Jesus Christ is the only sacrifice, the only refuge, the only hope. Application: Understand what you're enduring for. III. Endurance is strengthened by remembering God's past grace (vv. 32–34) Endurance is fueled by recalling how God has already carried us through. Losses can be endured when you have “a better and lasting possession.” If God sustained them in the past He will sustain them in the present. Application: When you remember God's past faithfulness, present trials lose their power to intimidate. Endurance is anchored in a better future (vv. 35–37) We endure because our future is guaranteed by the return of Christ. Don't throw away your bold, public allegiance to Jesus. Endurance is not self-help grit; it is hope-driven perseverance. Application: Trust God's promised future. Endurance is expressed through faith that refuses to shrink back (vv. 38–39) Endurance is active faith that refuses to retreat, even when pressured. Shrink back or be saved? Endurance is faith with a backbone. Application: Choose faith over fear. Conclusion & Application Action Step: Share your biggest faith challenge with a friend this week and ask them to pray for you and check in on your progress. Stay anchored in faith—because Jesus is returning soon, and He's faithful to those who endure.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 5, 2026 is: colloquial kuh-LOH-kwee-ul adjective Colloquial is used with words like term and word and expression to describe language that is used in familiar and informal conversation. // The author can switch from formal academic language to a charmingly colloquial style, depending on the audience and subject of her writing. See the entry > Examples: "The American woodcock is a native North American bird species found in Wisconsin and much of the eastern United States and Canada. Known by a host of colloquial names, including timberdoodle, ... bogsucker and mudsnipe, the species is about the size of the American robin ..." — Paul A. Smith, The Green Bay (Wisconsin) Press-Gazette , 1 May 2026 Did you know? The noun colloquy has since the 15th century referred to a conversation or dialogue, and when the adjective colloquial was formed in the mid-18th century it had a similar focus. (Both words trace back to the Latin verb colloquī, meaning "to converse.") Over time, however, colloquial developed a more specific meaning related to language that is most suited to informal conversation, and it ultimately garnered a secondary use for language that is so informal as to be inappropriate for a given situation. For instance, when writing an academic paper about Antarctic explorer Ernest Shackleton, it would not serve to say that the crew of the Endurance was "in quite a pickle" when they became trapped in ice off the Caird coast. Although pickle does indeed mean "a difficult situation" in this context, its flavor—ahem—may be considered too colloquial, that is, "unacceptably informal," for academic use.
I samlingarna finns kartor, fakturor och byggdelar till stugan på Snow Hill, där en oplanerad övervintring gav forskningstid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Programmet är en repris från november 2025. På våningarna i Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek ligger Otto Nordenskiölds personarkiv, fyllt av kartonger märkta Sydpolen, Grönland och Peru. Bland godbitarna finns loggboken från ångbarken Antarctic, med anteckningar som följde med när fartyget övergavs och senare krossades i Weddelhavets is 1903. Här finns också originalfakturan på den forskarstuga som fraktades i byggdelar och restes på Snow Hill, tänkt som bas för mätningar medan fartyget arbetade vidare i de okarterade haven.Dokumenten visar hur expeditionen 1901–1903 drogs in i oväntade isförhållanden, hur grupper hamnade på skilda platser och hur en vinter i provisoriska hyddor kom att prägla både människor och forskning. Telegram och brev speglar väntan hemma, tills argentinska örlogsfartyget Uruguay till sist nådde fram. I samlingarna finns även korrespondens med polarupptäckare som Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott och Ernest Shackleton, samt manus till ett tal i Göteborg 1908.Föreståndaren Anders Larsson pekar också på material om Nordenskiölds liv i Göteborg, från Geografiska föreningen till arbetet med den blivande Handelshögskolan och fredsengagemanget under första världskriget.

Hay algo que el alma necesita y que no proviene de ninguna conversación, de ningún logro, ni de ninguna distracción; es el silencio habitado por la presencia de Dios. No el silencio vacío o incómodo, sino el que está lleno de Él. En ese silencio, el corazón recobra la perspectiva que el ruido cotidiano le fue quitando sin que lo notara. El explorador Ernest Shackleton llevó a su expedición al Antártico en 1914 con instrumentos de precisión para medir el frío, el viento y la dirección. Pero durante los meses de invierno polar, cuando el sol desaparecía completamente por semanas, lo que sus hombres más necesitaban no eran datos. Ellos necesitaban sentido. El silencio prolongado en la oscuridad revelaba lo que cada uno llevaba por dentro, para bien y para mal. No había escapatoria de uno mismo. Es así como el silencio ante Dios no es vacío; es un diagnóstico honesto y una restauración profunda al mismo tiempo. Lo que encuentras en él puede incomodar al principio, pero sana con el tiempo. De modo que, no huyas del silencio. Búscalo con intención. Dios te espera allí. La Biblia dice en Salmos 62:5: "Alma mía, en Dios solamente reposa, porque de él es mi esperanza". (RV1960).
Standing at the edge of something new can be exciting—and terrifying. In this episode of Your Weekly Calling, Brad dives into Joshua 1 and the moment Joshua stepped into impossible shoes after the death of Moses. Through personal stories, a remarkable lesson from explorer Ernest Shackleton, and God's repeated command to "be strong and courageous," you'll discover that courage isn't the absence of fear—it's trusting God's presence in the middle of it. If you're facing a new chapter, a difficult decision, or an uncertain future, this episode is the reminder you need: the same God who walked with Joshua is walking with you.

Philipp Leo — Swiss cyber expert, diplomat, and military officer, always two steps ahead of the storm No Password Required Season 7: Episode 7 - Philipp Leo Philipp Leo co-founded Leo & Muhly Cyber Advisory, a strategic advisory firm specializing in cyber risk, resilience, and geopolitics. Now consulting with governments and private firms in Switzerland and abroad, Philipp has served as a UN observer on the Korean DMZ, trained the next generation of Swiss Armed Forces cyber specialists, and taught at the University of Glasgow. He is also part of Europol's network of experts in data protection and cybercrime and has published stateside in MIT Sloan Management Review. In this episode, Philipp shares his journey from a Swiss bank he couldn't wait to leave to the Korean border, and eventually to the boardrooms of executives who still think cyber risk is someone else's problem. He breaks down the three most dangerous misconceptions executives have about cyber risk, why the CISO is too often a poster child rather than a decision-maker, and the challenges to cyber insurance in Europe. Cyber attorney Jack Clabby and co-host Kayley Jerrell talk with Philipp about his live crisis simulation that nobody can win, how to train cyber warriors, and how nation-state cyber conflict is looking more and more like the age of Caribbean pirates. In the Lifestyle Polygraph, Philipp reveals his favorite book, his eye-opening, go-to celebratory drink, and the weight of his luxury umbrella. He also shares his favorite escape when the complexity of modern life gets to be too much and introduces us to a Zurich commuting tradition that involves swimming home through a river.

Psalm 23:4 says, “Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for you are with me.” In this episode, Jack considers one of the most familiar and comforting phrases in Scripture: “the valley of the shadow of death.” Life can move quickly from green pastures to dark valleys, but Psalm 23 reminds us that the believer is never abandoned there. The Good Shepherd is with His sheep. He guides, protects, corrects, comforts, and leads them safely through. Through personal reflection, the story of R.F. Gates, and the remarkable survival story of Ernest Shackleton and the Endurance, this episode points us to the comfort of Christ's presence in suffering and the hope of His victory over death. Because Jesus laid down His life for the sheep and rose again, death has lost its sting. For the Christian, death may cast a shadow, but it cannot destroy.

Wykład Jerzego Giżejewskiego z Instytutu Geofizyki PAN w ramach Projektu Edu-Arctic [8 czerwca 2024 r.]Jak przeżyć wiele miesięcy na krze lodowej po zatonięciu statku? Czy można uratować całą załogę w jednym z najbardziej niegościnnych miejsc na Ziemi? I dlaczego wyprawa, która nie osiągnęła swojego głównego celu, przeszła do historii jako jedna z największych ekspedycji polarnych wszech czasów?Imperialna Ekspedycja Transantarktyczna z lat 1914–1917 to jedna z najbardziej niezwykłych historii eksploracji naszej planety. Jej celem było dokonanie czegoś, czego wcześniej nie udało się nikomu – przejścia przez cały kontynent antarktyczny od Morza Weddella do Morza Rossa, przez biegun południowy.Na czele wyprawy stanął Sir Ernest Shackleton, legendarny brytyjski odkrywca polarny, który po zdobyciu bieguna południowego przez Roalda Amundsena uznał, że ostatnim wielkim wyzwaniem epoki heroicznej eksploracji Antarktydy jest właśnie przemierzenie kontynentu w poprzek.Wykład przedstawia historię odkrywania Antarktydy – od pierwszych lądowań na kontynencie, przez wyprawy Scotta i Amundsena, aż po ambitne plany Shackletona. Szczegółowo omawia przebieg ekspedycji statku Endurance, który został uwięziony przez lód Morza Weddella, a następnie zmiażdżony przez napierające pola lodowe.Rozpoczyna się dramatyczna walka o przetrwanie. Uczestnicy wyprawy przez wiele miesięcy dryfują na krze lodowej, później docierają do Wyspy Słoniowej, a następnie Shackleton wraz z niewielką grupą podejmuje jedną z najbardziej brawurowych podróży w historii żeglarstwa, próbując sprowadzić pomoc dla pozostawionych towarzyszy.Wykład pokazuje nie tylko przebieg wydarzeń, ale również fenomen przywództwa Shackletona. Jego zdolność utrzymania morale, organizacji życia codziennego i podejmowania decyzji w ekstremalnych warunkach do dziś stanowi przedmiot analiz historyków, psychologów i ekspertów zajmujących się zarządzaniem kryzysowym.Dowiemy się również:• jak wyglądała eksploracja Antarktydy na początku XX wieku,• dlaczego wyprawa Endurance stała się symbolem wytrwałości i odwagi,• jak funkcjonowano przez wiele miesięcy na lodzie,• jakie zagrożenia czekały na uczestników ekspedycji,• dlaczego historia Shackletona jest dziś wykorzystywana w szkoleniach liderów i menedżerów.Szczególnym elementem wykładu jest także opowieść o odnalezieniu wraku statku Endurance w 2022 roku. Ponad sto lat po zatonięciu badaczom udało się odnaleźć jednostkę spoczywającą na głębokości ponad 3000 metrów pod powierzchnią Morza Weddella. Stan zachowania wraku zaskoczył naukowców i stał się jednym z najważniejszych odkryć współczesnej archeologii morskiej.W wykładzie m.in.:• Ernest Shackleton i epoka heroiczna eksploracji polarnej,• zdobycie bieguna południowego,• wyprawa Endurance,• historia odkrywania Antarktydy,• przetrwanie w ekstremalnych warunkach,• przywództwo i zarządzanie kryzysowe,• Morze Weddella i Wyspa Słoniowa,• odnalezienie wraku Endurance w 2022 roku.Dr Jerzy Giżejewski – geolog i polarnik, wieloletni pracownik Instytutu Geofizyki PAN. Od 1991 roku związany z Zakładem Badań Polarnych i Morskich IGF PAN, gdzie prowadził badania nad sedymentacją osadów w jeziorach i fiordach południowego Spitsbergenu. Dwukrotnie kierował całorocznymi wyprawami PAN do Polskiej Stacji Polarnej Hornsund, a wielokrotnie uczestniczył w pracach terenowych na Spitsbergenie. Od lat angażuje się również w popularyzację wiedzy o Arktyce, Antarktyce i historii wypraw polarnych, m.in. w ramach projektów edukacyjnych Instytutu Geofizyki PAN, takich jak EDUSCIENCE, EDU-ARCTIC, EDU-ARCTIC.PL i Odyssey.#Antarktyda #Shackleton #Endurance #historia #wyprawypolarne #eksploracja #biegunpołudniowy #ErnestShackleton #polarnictwo #geografia #historianauki #WszechnicaZnajdź nas: https://www.youtube.com/c/WszechnicaFWW/https://www.facebook.com/WszechnicaFWW1/https://anchor.fm/wszechnicaorgpl---historiahttps://anchor.fm/wszechnica-fww-naukahttps://wszechnica.org.pl/

En 1914, un explorador puso un anuncio en un periódico para reclutar hombres dispuestos a cruzar la Antártida. No prometía gloria inmediata, ni seguridad, ni sueldo generoso. Prometía frío extremo, meses de oscuridad, peligro constante y un regreso dudoso. La historia dice que respondieron miles. El hombre era Ernest Shackleton, y el barco se llamaba Endurance, un nombre magnífico para una expedición condenada a comprobar que el marketing, cuando se enfrenta al hielo, no siempre conserva su dignidad. La idea era cruzar el continente antártico de costa a costa. Una empresa heroica, absurda y muy británica, de esas que empiezan con mapas, bigotes y frases solemnes, y terminan con hombres comiendo grasa de foca mientras reconsideran su relación con el Imperio. Pero el Endurance nunca llegó a cumplir su misión. Quedó atrapado en el hielo del mar de Weddell, fue aplastado lentamente por la presión y acabó hundiéndose. No hubo travesía continental, conquista ni foto final con bandera y pecho hinchado. Y, sin embargo, la expedición pasó a la historia como una de las mayores gestas de liderazgo jamás contadas. Ese es el giro de guión. Shackleton fracasó en su objetivo original de forma absoluta, pero salvó a todos sus hombres. Durante meses, en uno de los lugares más hostiles del planeta, mantuvo vivo al grupo, cruzó hielo, navegó en botes diminutos por mares imposibles y terminó llegando a Georgia del Sur para organizar el rescate. La misión fue un desastre; la gestión del desastre fue una obra maestra. Hay historias que nos obsesionan porque terminan bien. Esta nos persigue porque empezó mal y, aun así, produjo grandeza. En los mercados ocurre algo parecido. Nos pasamos la vida buscando empresas, sectores y narrativas que cumplan el plan perfecto: crecimiento, márgenes, tipos bajos, demanda infinita, múltiplos generosos y una presentación trimestral con más flechas ascendentes que una tienda de arquería. Pero el mercado rara vez premia solo los planes bonitos. A veces premia a quien sabe sobrevivir cuando el hielo empieza a crujir. Y lo más curioso es que el crujido casi nunca llega como un cataclismo teatral. Llega primero como un detalle incómodo. Un coste que sube demasiado rápido. Una financiación que ya no es tan barata. Una acción que no reacciona como debería. Un cliente que empieza a pagar la factura de otro. Una narrativa que sigue siendo cierta, pero empieza a ser menos gratuita. Ese es el momento que de verdad importa. No cuando el barco se hunde. Cuando todavía flota, pero alguien atento oye la madera quejarse. Esta semana en Actualidad Semanal +D hablamos de ese crujido. De una bolsa que no ha dejado de creer en sus grandes historias, pero que empieza a distinguir entre quien tiene un barco resistente, quien solo tiene una bandera bonita y quien ha confundido hielo con tierra firme. No es un episodio sobre catástrofes. Es algo más útil: un episodio sobre resistencia, facturas escondidas y narrativas que descubren que el invierno también sabe hacer due diligence. Porque en los mercados, como en la Antártida, el plan impresiona menos que la capacidad de seguir vivo cuando el plan se rompe.

Cette semaine, partez à la rencontre de quatre récits de survie hors du commun : l'histoire de Mauro Prosperi, trekkeur pris au piège dans le désert lors d'une course de l'impossible ; Juliane Koepcke, jeune fille échouée au cœur de l'Amazonie après un crash d'avion ; Ernest Shackleton, capitaine d'une des expéditions les plus périlleuses de l'Antarctique ; ou encore Aliy Zirkle, qui devra puiser dans ses dernières forces pour affronter l'une des courses de traîneaux les plus dangereuses au monde. Juliane Koepcke, la miraculé tombée du ciel Juliane Koepcke, 17 ans, embarque avec sa mère à bord d'un vol en plein cœur de l'Amazonie pour rejoindre son père biologiste. Ce qui devait être un voyage ordinaire de Noël se transforme soudain en cauchemar lorsqu'une tempête s'abat sur l'avion. En un instant, tout bascule : le ciel s'embrase, la carlingue se disloque, et Juliane perd connaissance. À son réveil, seule au milieu de la jungle, elle réalise l'impensable : elle a survécu à une chute de 3000 mètres.

https://media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/media.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/ins.blubrry.com/thesuccessfulmindpodcast/TSM727_MDM_May16_26.mp3 Hope is not a strategy — and I think most people know this somewhere deep down, but they’ve never stopped to examine what it’s actually costing them. In this episode, I use the extraordinary true story of Ernest Shackleton’s 1915 Antarctic expedition to show exactly what it looks like when a leader refuses to let hope become the plan — and what happens instead.Hope Is Not a Strategy: The Lesson Shackleton Already KnewWhen Shackleton’s ship, The Endurance, became locked in Antarctic ice in 1915, there was no rescue coming. No technology. No timeline. What he understood — and what Viktor Frankl later documented in Man’s Search for Meaning — is that people who attach their emotional survival to a hoped-for outcome are the most fragile people in the room. Frankl could identify the prisoners who would die first in the concentration camps. They were the ones who had pinned everything to a specific date — Christmas, a promised release. When that date passed, they fell apart. So did Shackleton’s carpenter, who began to spread dissent among the crew. Shackleton stopped it immediately. He understood that one person’s emotional collapse, if left unchecked, could kill everyone. The lesson isn’t that hope is bad. It’s that hope as your primary psychological strategy is dangerous. It keeps you on the edge of fear — one disappointment away from crashing. Hope Is Not a Strategy — Present-Moment Living IsWhat Shackleton’s crew did instead is something I’ve watched the most successful people I’ve ever coached do in their own lives. They didn’t just survive Antarctica — they lived there. They played football on the ice. They put on theatrical performances. They took care of their sled dogs. They chose to make the experience of being where they were as full and human as possible, while using the goal of getting home as direction — not salvation. I see this same pattern play out for entrepreneurs and business owners every week. When a sale falls through, when the numbers don’t match the picture in your head, when you get a bad review or a rejection — the people relying on hope crash. The people living fully in the moment, with understanding and awareness instead of hope, stay stable. That stability is what keeps your frequency aligned with what you’re building. When your emotions drop, your vibration drops, and you begin attracting more of what you don’t want. What Disappointment Is Really Telling YouDisappointment is a hidden expectation. Every time you feel it, it’s a signal that somewhere underneath, you were relying on a specific outcome to be okay. That’s hope doing its quiet damage. The shift I’m teaching here is from hope to understanding — from ‘I’m surviving until things change’ to ‘I’m fully alive in what is, while moving toward what’s next.’ Your goal gives you direction. But who you become in the journey is the whole point. If you’ve been riding the emotional highs and lows of your business or your life — this episode is the conversation that reorients everything.

Series: Contending for The Faith Title: "How do we stand firm in truth and love?" Part 1 Scripture: Jude 1:1-16 2 Cor 13:5 "test yourselves to see if you are in the faith. Examine yourselves." Numbers 14 12 spies Ezekiel 16:49 Sodom and Gommorah's sins 1 Cor 6:9-11 Wicked Corinth received cleansing Bottom line: Standing firm means contending for The Faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant in fruit-bearing of both ourselves and others in love and by love. INTRODUCTION CONTEXT OUTLINE CONCLUSION DISCUSSION QUESTIONS NOTES YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION MAIN REFERENCES USED My opening prayer: Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in him and leading others to do the same. OPENING STORY(ies) From the Lord of the Rings second book, The Two Towers In The Lord of the Rings, King Théoden has slowly fallen under the corrupting influence of Gríma Wormtongue. Wormtongue constantly whispers lies, fear, half-truths, and discouragement into the king's ear until Théoden becomes weak, passive, isolated, and unable to discern reality clearly. The corruption is subtle, not obvious. Wormtongue presents himself as a loyal counselor while actually undermining the king and the kingdom from within. Then Gandalf confronts the deception directly. He exposes Wormtongue's influence, calls Théoden to wake up, and helps him see clearly again. Once freed from that corrupting voice, Théoden rises, regains strength, and leads courageously. That parallels Jude well: False teachers rarely arrive looking dangerous. They infiltrate quietly (“have slipped in among you” — Jude 4). They distort truth while pretending loyalty. Over time they weaken discernment, courage, holiness, and mission. Jude, like Gandalf, is sounding the alarm: wake up, see clearly, contend for the faith, and do not surrender the community to corrupt influences. -ChatGPT Jude is giving the Church a wake-up call to arms. It's a challenging call that most Christ-followers brush aside so it won't disturb their spiritual slumber. Through Jude's letter, God is calling his church--his body--to rise up and contend for the faith, reject distorted grace, and stay vigilant with ourselves and others regarding ungodliness. We do all of this in love because we're loved. This calling is for everyone. And it's a calling few are willing to step into. It reminded me of Shackleton's newspaper ad when recruiting and hiring men for his expedition to cross Antarctica: Right image courtesy of John Hyatt http://johnhyattillustration.com SHACKLETON Newspaper ad: "Men wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in event of success." CONTEXT The book of Jude was written by Jude, who identifies himself as “a servant of Jesus Christ and a brother of James” (Jude 1). Most scholars believe this means Jude was also a half-brother of Jesus, making him part of Jesus' earthly family (cf. Matthew 13:55). Rather than emphasizing his family connection to Jesus, Jude humbly identifies himself as Christ's servant. He likely wrote the letter sometime before AD 70 to a group of Christians facing the growing threat of false teachers infiltrating the church from within. Jude originally intended to write a positive letter about “the salvation we share,” but felt compelled instead to urge believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people” (Jude 3). The danger was not primarily persecution from outside the church, but corruption from inside it. These false teachers distorted God's grace into permission for immorality, rejected God's authority, and influenced others through arrogance, sensuality, and selfish ambition. Jude responds with some of the strongest warning language in the New Testament, drawing repeatedly from Old Testament history and vivid illustrations to remind believers that God takes both truth and holiness seriously. Yet the letter is ultimately framed by hope: believers are loved by God the Father, kept by Jesus Christ, and sustained by God's power. Bottom line: Standing firm means contending for The Faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant of both ourselves and others in love and by love. OUTLINE I. Contend for "The Faith" by holding fast to the Truth (1-4) * It's about who we are in Christ. (1-2) * It's about being loved so that we love others. (1-2) * It's the purpose of this letter (3) * It's why this is the purpose of this letter (4) II. Reject the distortion of grace and don't give in to licentious ways * You will be judged * Old Testament examples CONCLUSION ““Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother's eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? How can you say to your brother, ‘Brother, let me take the speck out of your eye,' when you yourself fail to see the plank in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother's eye.” Luke 6:41-42 NIV https://bible.com/bible/111/luk.6.41-42.NIV “Because the church here is under a satanic lullaby and I'm falling asleep. Every time I try to wake up, the lullaby goes faster. Let's go back to my country.” According to the testimony, an Iranian Christian couple escaped persecution and moved to a Western country (often retold specifically as America). The husband believed they finally had “the abundant life” — safety, money, comfort, freedom. But after only a short time, the wife became deeply troubled and told him she wanted to return to the Middle East because the spiritual complacency of the Western church was more dangerous to her soul than persecution in Iran. It appears to come from interviews and testimony connected to the documentary Sheep Among Wolves Volume II and was later repeated on podcasts and blogs, including an interview on Jennie Allen's podcast/blog. https://www.jennieallen.com/blog/the-underground-church?utm_source=chatgpt.com Pray Questions (Write this down) - grab an index card and pen What is God saying to you right now?

December 26, 2004. Mai Khao Beach, Phuket, Thailand. Christmas holiday. Perfect weather. The Smith family walked along the sand on their first overseas vacation together. Then Tilly noticed something wrong. The water wasn't behaving normally. ""It wasn't calm and it wasn't going in and then out,"" she later recalled. ""It was just coming in and in and in."" The sea had turned frothy—""like you get on a beer,"" she said. ""It was sort of sizzling."" Any other ten-year-old might have thought it strange. Tilly knew exactly what it meant. Two weeks earlier, her geography teacher Andrew Kearney had shown the class footage of the 1946 tsunami that devastated Hawaii. He taught them the warning signs: sea receding unusually far, frothy bubbling water, ocean behaving strangely. Tilly was watching those exact warning signs unfold in front of her. She started screaming at her parents. ""There's going to be a tsunami!"" They didn't believe her. They couldn't see any wave. The sky was clear. The beach was calm. But Tilly wouldn't stop. She became more insistent, more frantic. ""I'm going,"" she finally said. ""I'm definitely going. There is definitely going to be a tsunami."" Her father Colin heard the urgency in her voice. He decided to trust his daughter. By coincidence, a Japanese man nearby overheard Tilly use the word ""tsunami."" He'd just heard news of an earthquake in Sumatra. ""I think your daughter's right,"" he said. Colin alerted hotel staff. They began evacuating immediately. Tilly's mother Penny was one of the last to leave. She had to sprint as the water began rushing in behind her. ""I ran,"" she recalled, ""and then I thought I was going to die."" They made it to the second floor with seconds to spare. Then the wave hit. Thirty feet tall. Everything on the beach—beds, palm trees, debris—was swept into the pool and beyond. ""Even if you hadn't drowned,"" Penny later said, ""you would have been hit by something."" The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami killed over 230,000 people across 14 countries. Entire beaches in Phuket were wiped out. But at Mai Khao Beach, not a single person died. Because a ten-year-old girl paid attention in geography class. Tilly was hailed as the ""Angel of the Beach."" She received awards, spoke at the United Nations, met Bill Clinton. Her story is now taught in schools worldwide. Her father Colin still thinks about what could have happened. ""If she hadn't told us, we would have just kept on walking,"" he said. ""I'm convinced we would have died."" Tilly still credits her teacher. ""If it wasn't for Mr. Kearney,"" she told the UN, ""I'd probably be dead and so would my family."" Two weeks. One lesson. One hundred lives. That's the power of education. YOUTUBE DESCRIPTION Contending for the Faith | “How Do We Stand Firm in Truth and Love?” Preacher: Darien Gabriel Series: Contending for the Faith Scripture: Epistle of Jude 1–16 (NIV) Grace Christian Fellowship Grace Christian Fellowship In a culture filled with spiritual confusion, distorted grace, and growing compromise, the book of Jude gives the church a wake-up call. Jude urges believers to “contend for the faith that was once for all entrusted to God's holy people” (Jude 3). The danger wasn't primarily persecution from outside the church—but corruption from within. False teachers quietly slipped into the church, distorted God's grace into permission for sin, rejected God's authority, and weakened discernment among God's people. In this message, Pastor Darien Gabriel walks through Jude 1–16 and explores what it means to stand firm in both truth and love. Bottom Line Standing firm means contending for the faith, rejecting distorted grace, and staying vigilant in fruit-bearing of both ourselves and others in love and by love. In This Sermon * What it means to “contend for the faith” * Why false teaching is often subtle and deceptive * The danger of spiritual complacency * How grace can be distorted into license for sin * Why vigilance and discernment matter in the church * The examples of Israel, Sodom & Gomorrah, and rebellious angels * How believers can examine themselves faithfully and lovingly * Why truth and love must stay together Key Scriptures * Epistle of Jude 1–16 * Second Epistle to the Corinthians 13:5 * Book of Numbers 14 * Book of Ezekiel 16:49 * First Epistle to the Corinthians 6:9–11 * Gospel of Luke 6:41–42 Opening Illustrations This sermon includes reflections on: * The Two Towers and the corrupting influence of Gríma Wormtongue on King Théoden * Ernest Shackleton's famous Antarctic expedition recruitment ad * Testimonies from persecuted believers who warn against the spiritual complacency of the Western church Jude reminds us that false teaching rarely announces itself openly. It slips in quietly, weakens discernment gradually, and lulls believers into spiritual compromise. But God calls His people to wake up, see clearly, and remain faithful to Jesus Christ. Opening Prayer: “Lord God, help us grow to be and do like Jesus, while abiding in Him and leading others to do the same.” If this message encourages you, please like, subscribe, and share it with others seeking truth, discernment, and faithful discipleship in Christ. #Jude #ContendForTheFaith MAIN REFERENCES USED “Proverbs,” by Ray Ortland, Preaching the Word Commentary, Edited by Kent Hughes Exalting Jesus in Proverbs, Daniel Akin Windows of Wisdom, Stephen Olford “The Bible Knowledge Commentary” by Walvoord, Zuck (BKC) “The Bible Exposition Commentary” by Warren Wiersbe (BEC) Outline Bible, D Willmington (OB) Willmington's Bible Handbook, D Willmington (WBH) NIV Study Bible (NIVSB) https://www.biblica.com/resources/scholar-notes/niv-study-bible/ Chronological Life Application Study Bible (NLT) ESV Study Bible (ESVSB) https://www.esv.org The Bible Project https://bibleproject.com “Look at the Book” by John Piper (LATB) “The Bible in One Year 2023 with Nicky Gumbel” bible reading plan on YouVersion app (BIOY) Claude.ai
In this episode, Jed welcomes two wonderful guests who are using story to build kids' hearts and minds. First, Allie Slocom joins us from Colorado to celebrate her middle grade novel Is There Hope for Theodore Cope. Theo is an 11‑year‑old aspiring magician who's also neurodiverse and gifted. He's brilliant at math, reading, basketball, dog walking, and magic tricks—but struggles with executive functioning. Allie explains that Theo isn't irresponsible; he simply hasn't yet developed the skills to manage his time, commitments, and big "yes" energy. Drawing on her work as a gifted education teacher, Allie talks about the importance of helping kids practice executive function through games and real-life experiences. She shares how her Character Club—an after‑school group she ran in her home—grew into an entire book series focused on traits like responsibility, compassion, integrity, and forgiveness, with historical vignettes featuring figures such as Ernest Shackleton and Clara Barton. Next, Jed heads to New Jersey to chat with Nicole Smith‑Schultz, school librarian and author of the picture book My Baby Doll. Inspired by her own daughter, Nicole's book beautifully mirrors getting a beloved baby doll as a child with becoming a mom for the first time. She reflects on the joy and surprise of motherhood, the innocence of play, and the powerful ways kids imitate the care they receive. Nicole also shares her passion for librarianship, media literacy, and making sure every child finds a book they truly love—while advocating for the vital role of school librarians in our communities.
Naomh McElhatton, director of the ‘Spirit of Shackleton' project, tells Oliver how a yacht inspired by Ernest Shackleton is set to become a floating classroom for young people, STEM & ocean science research & leaders across the country.

Unbeweevable! Sir David is 100, the Navigator Trend, St Helena travel and A12345678 are just a few of the topics this week. Bev and Nigel twitch at Clair parkrun in Haywards Heath whilst Dan Solo goes Voronoi filling at the lovely St Matthew's Field parkrun in Bridgwater, Somerset.
What does it take to finish a record that's been living in your head for two decades?In Episode 284, Jim Exon traces the long arc of Nashville Sessions — a country-leaning album shaped by time, persistence, and a deep bench of collaborators, including Jeff Silbar, Ron Wallace, and lyrics by Gay Hendricks. Alongside Martin Young, Exon brings a distinctly Ojai-rooted project into authentic Nashville form.Before the studio, there was the road — years managing and representing Maynard Ferguson — and before that, the Sunset Strip grind as a working musician. We talk about how the music business has changed, what collaborators really contribute, and the rare discipline it takes to finally finish what you started. We did not talk about Canary Islands' whistle language, Ernest Shackleton or the impact of Charlemagne's missi domenici. A conversation about craft, time, and getting it done.

Le “mystère du troisième homme” est un phénomène troublant, souvent rapporté dans des situations extrêmes : alpinisme, exploration polaire, survie en mer ou en montagne. Il désigne cette impression très forte — presque tangible — qu'une présence invisible accompagne une personne en détresse, comme un guide silencieux qui aide à avancer.L'histoire la plus célèbre est celle de Ernest Shackleton. En 1916, après le naufrage de son navire lors de l'expédition de l'Endurance, il entreprend une traversée désespérée de la Géorgie du Sud avec deux compagnons. Épuisés, affamés, à la limite de leurs forces, ils marchent pendant plus de 30 heures sans pause. Et tous les trois rapporteront la même sensation : ils n'étaient pas seuls. Comme s'il y avait un quatrième homme avec eux, une présence discrète mais rassurante. Shackleton lui-même écrira : “Je savais qu'il y avait une autre personne avec nous.”Ce phénomène n'est pas isolé. Des alpinistes, des naufragés, des survivants d'accidents graves racontent des expériences similaires. Certains décrivent une voix intérieure qui donne des instructions précises. D'autres parlent d'une présence physique, presque perceptible à leurs côtés.D'un point de vue scientifique, plusieurs hypothèses existent. La plus probable est neurologique. Dans des conditions extrêmes — fatigue intense, isolement, stress, manque de sommeil, hypothermie — le cerveau peut se dérégler. Certaines zones impliquées dans la perception du corps et de l'espace, notamment au niveau du cortex temporo-pariétal, peuvent créer une dissociation. Résultat : le cerveau “projette” une présence extérieure… qui est en réalité une construction interne.Mais ce qui intrigue, c'est que cette présence est presque toujours bienveillante. Elle rassure, guide, encourage. Comme si le cerveau, confronté à une situation de survie, activait une sorte de mécanisme de secours psychologique.D'un point de vue évolutif, cela pourrait être une stratégie adaptative. Dans un environnement hostile, maintenir la motivation et la lucidité peut faire la différence entre la vie et la mort. Créer l'illusion d'un compagnon pourrait aider à continuer, à prendre de meilleures décisions, à ne pas céder à la panique.Autrement dit, ce “troisième homme” ne serait pas une hallucination au sens pathologique, mais plutôt un outil du cerveau pour survivre.Aujourd'hui encore, le mystère fascine. Car même si la science propose des explications, l'intensité de ces témoignages laisse une impression étrange : dans les moments les plus critiques, notre esprit semble capable de créer… quelqu'un pour nous sauver.

In this episode, host Margaret Walls talks with Kevin Stiroh, a senior fellow at Resources for the Future and a former senior advisor at the Federal Reserve. Pulling from his extensive career in the financial sector, Stiroh expounds on how financial institutions evaluate climate-related risks and the analysis necessary to address risks across loans, insurance, and investment portfolios. Stiroh emphasizes that sound banking practices require active collaboration between research and policy to navigate financial risks. As calculations of the macroeconomic impacts of climate change evolve, past research may be less relevant and accurate than newer studies on climate change as sources of information about climate-related financial risk and shocks. Effective risk management is in a bank's best interest, Stiroh notes, and requires rigorous, credible economic research that informs durable policy solutions.

Week 12 of All I Do Is Win features a powerful message from Gabe Zammit titled The King We Wanted vs. The King We Needed. Through Palm Sunday and the story of Ernest Shackleton, we're reminded that when our plans fall apart, God may be accomplishing something deeper than we can see. This message challenges us to trust Jesus not just when He meets our expectations, but when He doesn't—because the greatest victory didn't come through power, but through the cross. Be sure to reference the Sermon Reflection Guide linked below to go deeper and continue the conversation throughout the week.

I samlingarna finns kartor, fakturor och byggdelar till stugan på Snow Hill, där en oplanerad övervintring gav forskningstid. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. På våningarna i Göteborgs universitetsbibliotek ligger Otto Nordenskiölds personarkiv, fyllt av kartonger märkta Sydpolen, Grönland och Peru. Bland godbitarna finns loggboken från ångbarken Antarctic, med anteckningar som följde med när fartyget övergavs och senare krossades i Weddelhavets is 1903. Här finns också originalfakturan på den forskarstuga som fraktades i byggdelar och restes på Snow Hill, tänkt som bas för mätningar medan fartyget arbetade vidare i de okarterade haven.Dokumenten visar hur expeditionen 1901–1903 drogs in i oväntade isförhållanden, hur grupper hamnade på skilda platser och hur en vinter i provisoriska hyddor kom att prägla både människor och forskning. Telegram och brev speglar väntan hemma, tills argentinska örlogsfartyget Uruguay till sist nådde fram. I samlingarna finns även korrespondens med polarupptäckare som Roald Amundsen, Robert Falcon Scott och Ernest Shackleton, samt manus till ett tal i Göteborg 1908.Föreståndaren Anders Larsson pekar också på material om Nordenskiölds liv i Göteborg, från Geografiska föreningen till arbetet med den blivande Handelshögskolan och fredsengagemanget under första världskriget. Arkivet började byggas upp 2001 och växer fortfarande genom gåvor från släktingar och kompletterande förvärv.Reporter: Mats Carlsson Lénartmats.carlsson-lenart@sr.seProducent: Lars Broströmlars.brostrom@sr.se
In this episode, we explore what to do when the weight of uncertainty and overwhelm makes it hard to think, create, or move forward. We open with the legendary survival story of Ernest Shackleton's Endurance expedition, drawing practical lessons about leadership, adaptability, and creative resilience. When everything spins out of control, it's not about getting back to what we've lost—it's about reframing the mission and determining the next right move.We dig deep into how overwhelm isn't just a productivity hiccup, but a genuine threat to creativity and motivation. Drawing on personal experiences and years working with creative leaders, we share three actionable moves for anyone feeling stuck, anxious, or creatively compressed. These aren't quick fixes; they're mental models and practices to help talented professionals regain clarity and get unstuck, even when the path ahead is anything but clear.Five Key Learnings from This Episode:Redefine Success in the Moment: When circumstances change, don't cling to old goals. Instead, ask, “What does winning look like now, with what I have?”Shrink the Target: Limit your field of view. Focus on the one thing you can accomplish today that will make everything else easier or less necessary.Name What's Actually Wrong: Overwhelm is often a symptom of unrecognized fear or unresolved tension. Identify and write down the specific issue that's weighing on you.Protect a Pocket of Presence: Carve out uninterrupted time—just 20 minutes—to be alone with your thoughts. This helps your mind recover, make connections, and surface what really matters.Remember, Overwhelm Means You Care: Feeling overwhelmed isn't failing; it's a sign that you're carrying meaningful responsibility. You don't need to solve everything at once. Clarity and small wins create the momentum to move forward.Get full interviews and bonus content for free! Just join the list at DailyCreativePlus.com.

Most of us love a good story of sacrificial courage: like Frodo Baggins taking the ring to Mordor or Ernest Shackleton rescuing his crew from the Antarctic ice. But when it comes to our own lives, we often find ourselves resisting the very thing that makes those stories great: sacrifice.In the final session of The Core, part of our Year of the Forge series, Pastor Mark dives into the "Nerd-egesis" of sacrifice. We explore why sacrifice is not an invitation to burnout or bad mental health, but rather an invitation into God's kingdom and your true purpose.

Ernest Shackleton and Leadership When Everything Falls ApartIn 1914, Ernest Shackleton set out on what was supposed to be one of the greatest expeditions in history: the first land crossing of Antarctica. His ship, the Endurance, carried 27 men into one of the most unforgiving environments on Earth.What happened next is the part that matters.The ship never reached Antarctica.Instead, it became trapped in pack ice for months—until the pressure finally crushed the ship. The Endurance sank, leaving Shackleton and his crew stranded on drifting ice floes, more than 1,000 miles from safety, with no communication, no rescue plan, and brutal Antarctic winter closing in.From that moment on, the mission was no longer exploration.The mission became survival.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/
Scott makes a record-setting excursion through the Transantarctic Mountains to cap off his historic Discovery expedition. He then returns to Great Britain a national hero. But as others - including Ernest Shackleton - make noise about making a go at the South Pole, Scott begins to plot his own return. Sponsors: Quince.

The Venezuelan opposition leader, Maria Corina Machado, has said the removal from power of President Nicolas Maduro by US special forces is a huge step for freedom despite being sidelined by Trump. We hear from inside the country amid a crackdown in Caracas. Also on the programme, European leaders meet in Paris to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine; and a battle to save an historic monument to one of the great Antarctic explorers, Ernest Shackleton.(Photo: Nobel Peace Prize laureate Maria Corina Machado looks on, outside the Grand Hotel after she was in the audience at the Royal Palace in Oslo, Norway, December 12, 2025.

Today's episode is a part of my artist conversation series and is a wonderful chat I had with songwriter for and lead singer of Have Gun, Will Travel. For those of you who were down in Gainesville for the Tom Petty Weekend, you probably say Matt and the guys play their killer set on Sunday afternoon. This one ranges all over the map. We do discuss Tom Petty's influence on Matt's songwriting, but we also talk about the band's fantastic new Voyager Golden EP! We also head into all sorts of interesting side roads leading to Ennio Morricone, Davids Bowie and Gilmour, Mark Knopfler, Carl Sagan, and even Ernest Shackleton!

Bad omens abound. But it's not enough to dissuade 13 tourists on a luxury cruise to Antarctica — including protagonist Striker, a Black film scout on the ship to search for a location to shoot a movie about Ernest Shackleton — from a kayak excursion on a chilly Christmas Eve. As the group paddles past towering icebergs and desolate landscapes, a sense of unease gives way to full on dread. And then it all goes terribly awry. “Antarctica is the land of illusion,” writes author Quan Barry. “All of this endless white tricks the eye.” What is hidden and what is revealed is the true terror of her new novel, “The Unveiling.” Quan labels it literary horror — equal parts “Lord of the Flies” and “Get Out.” She discusses her wildly original and downright scary new book with host Kerri Miller on this week's Big Books and Bold Ideas. Guest:Quan Barry is an English professor at the University of Wisconsin, Madison and the author of many books, including “When I'm Gone, Look for Me in the East” (featured on Big Books and Bold Ideas in 2022) and “We Ride Upon Sticks.” Her new novel is “The Unveiling.” Subscribe to the Thread newsletter for the latest book and author news and must-read recommendations.Subscribe to Big Books and Bold Ideas with Kerri Miller on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, RSS or anywhere you get your podcasts.
Durante la expedición Endurance (1915), Ernest Shackleton escribió: “La verdadera valentía es la paciencia prolongada”. Así es, perseverar no siempre significa avanzar rápido, sino mantenerse firme cuando nada parece moverse. No obstante, el final del año suele traer cansancio: metas no cumplidas, oraciones en espera y fuerzas que se debilitan. De modo que hoy practiques la perseverancia santa: esa que se sostiene en la gracia y no en el rendimiento. Además, recuerda que Dios no mide tu vida por la velocidad, sino por la constancia. Así pues, da un paso más, aunque sea pequeño. Es suficiente si apunta en la dirección correcta. Así que, reafirma tu compromiso de fe: persevera en oración, en pureza, en servicio, en esperanza. El Señor Jesús se agrada de los que no se rinden, aunque el terreno sea difícil. La Biblia dice en Gálatas 6:9: “No nos cansemos, pues, de hacer bien; porque a su tiempo segaremos, si no desmayamos”. (RV1960).

Egyptian strongman Ashraf Mahrous recently pulled two ships totalling 1,150 tonnes with his teeth, setting his sights on the Guinness World Record. Inspired by this story, this week we're tackling the science of all things strong. First, we find out about new research that could keep our muscles strong as we age. Next up, we discover why graphene is so strong and how it could help improve data storage. We're then joined down the line by Dr Matt Caplan, an astrophysicist from Illinois State University, who tells us about his search for a weird substance called ‘nuclear pasta'. And no, you won't find it in your local Italian restaurant. Plus, find out how robo-exoskeletons can help you climb hills and why Ernest Shackleton's Endurance was weaker than expected. All that, plus many more Unexpected Elements. Presenter: Marnie Chesterton, with Kai Kupferschmidt and Andrada Fiscutean Producers: Alice Lipscombe-Southwell, with Robbie Wojciechowski and Lucy Davies
Who's to blame for Voyage of The Endurance?This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) welcomes Sebastian Major, host of the Our Fake History podcast, to discuss the harrowing Antarctic voyage of The Endurance. Miraculously, everyone survived! But, should they have tempted this dangerous journey to begin with? Who was Ernest Shackleton and what drove him to be the first to cross the Antarctic? Did the allure of adventure blind him from the perils of the task at hand? Did competitive exploration at the time have something to do with it? Who's to blame for this rare “happy” ending? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early join the conversation.
