What if the Ark of the Covenant isn't lost—it's just hidden in plain sight? Bob Cornuke returns for a second episode, exclusively for members, to share explosive revelations from twenty-two expeditions to Ethiopia, where Orthodox monks guard what they believe is the actual Ark. With unprecedented access to Lake Tana's sacred island and trust earned from four generations of Ark guardians, Bob traces a compelling 2,700-year timeline from Solomon's Temple to modern-day Axum. He presents archaeological evidence, including tent peg holes matching tabernacle dimensions, ancient artifacts, and historical documents that map the Ark's journey through Egypt's Elephantine Island before reaching Ethiopia. With 98% certainty, Bob explains why Ethiopian Christians protect a decaying wooden box they believe houses the Ten Commandments, guarded by a keeper who dedicates his entire life to watching over it, never leaving the building. The conversation shifts to Malta, where Bob tracked down four massive anchors from Paul's shipwreck—discovered by local divers at the exact location and depth described in Acts 27, with odds of coincidence at 10 to the 50th power according to Chuck Missler's calculations. The episode reaches its emotional peak when Bob shares a never-before-told story of a prophetic vision that led him to save a paralyzed Ethiopian man's life, transforming his access to Ethiopia's most guarded spiritual secrets and his understanding of divine purpose.

It's easy to be inspired by success, but the real lessons often lie in what it took to get there. After all, true strength isn't just physical; it's found in how we face change, challenge and the unknown. In this episode of my Feel Better, Live More podcast, I sit down with one of the most extraordinary athletes of our time, Sifan Hassan. Sifan is a Dutch middle- and long-distance runner, celebrated for her versatility and achievements in athletics. Born in Ethiopia and raised in the Netherlands as a refugee, she is known for competing at the highest level in a wide range of distances, including the 1500m, 5000m, 10,000m, and the marathon. She is a two-time World Champion, an Olympic medallist, and holds multiple European Championship titles. Her journey from refugee to Olympic and World Champion has captivated the world, not just for what she's achieved, but for how she approaches life. Sifan's story is one of courage, faith, and relentless curiosity. In this wonderful conversation, we explore: How growing up in Ethiopia and later seeking asylum in the Netherlands shaped Sifan's inner strength, perspective and deep appreciation for opportunity The role running played in navigating life in a new country, and how it offered focus, purpose and belonging Why failure, fear and self-doubt have been central to her journey, and how she's learned to embrace them as essential parts of growth and performance How Sifan continues to find joy in running, despite the pressures of elite sport, and why staying curious matters more to her than winning What her training now looks like behind the scenes - including the shifts she's made to prioritise recovery, longevity and mental balance Why she sees rest, sleep and routine as forms of discipline, and how simplicity keeps her grounded What she's come to understand about identity, letting go of perfection, and finding peace with who she is, beyond the medals You don't need to be an athlete to connect with Sifan's story; it speaks to something deeply human in all of us. In a world that often celebrates outcomes, this conversation invites us to embrace the process of becoming, adapting, and learning. Sifan's perspective is a beautiful example of what it means to stay rooted in who we are, even when life takes us far from where we began. I hope you enjoy listening.

In this episode of Middle East Focus, hosts Alistair Taylor and Matthew Czekaj are joined by MEI Senior Fellow Mirette F. Mabrouk to unpack the growing tensions over the recently inaugurated Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD) on the Nile. With no water-sharing agreement with Ethiopia in place after decades of negotiations, what options remain for downstream Egypt and Sudan?

October 1st (yesterday) was International Coffee Day. In this episode, we trace coffee's journey from ancient ritual to modern science. Once a sacred brew in Ethiopia and Yemen, coffee now fuels billions daily. In 2025, research is rewriting how we should drink it. In this episode, we uncover why timing intake, keeping coffee unsweetened, and using the right brewing method matter for long-term health. We also look at new data linking clean coffee to lower risk of chronic liver disease. Coffee is more than a morning habit.

Millions of people today face dire medical and mental health challenges. What role should the church play in foreign humanitarian aid to address starvation and deadly illness? In this episode, Eric Ha, CEO of Medical Teams International, joins Mark Labberton for a sobering, hopeful conversation on global humanitarian crises and the role of the church in responding to both the physical and spiritual needs of those who are suffering. Drawing from his years at International Justice Mission and now at Medical Teams International, Ha shares vivid accounts from refugee camps in East Africa and migrant communities in Colombia. He reflects on the collapse of US foreign aid, the limits of humanitarian response, and the urgent need for churches to reclaim their historic role in caring for the vulnerable. Ha wrestles candidly with the calling of Christian communities to embody God's expansive love even amid staggering need. Episode Highlights “These humans that bear the image of the divine and the eternal, and the holy and the sacred.” “Last year, Medical Teams staff helped deliver fifty thousand babies—that's a delivery every ten minutes, somewhere around the world in these extraordinarily harsh settings.” “Finding the thread and kernel of hope is actually a lot more challenging.” “For thousands of years prior to the UN, the infrastructure and ecosystem for the care of refugees was the church. It was God's people.” “The gospel is an outward pushing invitation.… It is the pushing out actually into the far and remote places of suffering in need, and to see the presence of God.” Helpful Links and Resources Medical Teams International International Justice Mission UNHCR: The UN Refugee Agency PEPFAR—The US President's Emergency Plan for AIDS Relief Clinton Global Initiative About Eric Ha Eric Ha is the chief executive officer of Medical Teams International, a Christian humanitarian relief organization providing life-saving medical care for people in crisis worldwide. Before joining Medical Teams, he served more than a decade in senior leadership roles at International Justice Mission, advancing global efforts to combat human trafficking and slavery. A lawyer by training, Ha brings a deep commitment to justice, compassion, and the mobilization of the church in service of the vulnerable. Show Notes Global Humanitarian Crises and Refugee Care Eric Ha shares his journey from law and IJM to leading Medical Teams International Medical Teams founded in response to Cambodia's killing fields, continuing nearly 50 years of healthcare missions Primary healthcare for refugees: maternal care, vaccinations, mosquito nets, antimalarials, antidiarrheals, and mental health Serving 9 million people in East Africa, including Uganda, Ethiopia, Tanzania, and Sudan Refugee camps lack electricity, clean water, and adequate shelter—average displacement nearly 20 years Medical Teams delivers maternal care that dramatically reduces mortality, helping deliver 50,000 babies last year Healthcare and Human Dignity The crisis is not statistics—it's humans bearing God's image, glimpses of laughter, joy, and resilience Colombia: working with Venezuelan migrants amid drastic cuts in U.S. aid (down to 10% of prior levels) Withdrawal of foreign aid leaves communities devastated and forces NGOs to scale back Transition from justice work at IJM to medical humanitarian work brings both immediacy of impact and insufficiency of resources Hope and Despair in Humanitarian Work Theories of change at IJM allowed for hope in systemic reform; displacement crises feel harder to solve Challenge of holding onto hope in the face of preventable death and suffering Churches historically provided refugee care before the UN; today, withdrawal of aid exposes the need for church re-engagement Need to reimagine church-government partnerships in humanitarian response Empathy, Collaboration, and Mental Health Empathy as essential orientation in humanitarian work, easily lost without intentionality Competitiveness and survivalism among NGOs risks eclipsing empathy Mental health needs are massive: trauma among children in refugee camps threatens future stability Clinton Global Initiative highlights Medical Teams' commitment to expand mental health care for children in Sudan Training local health workers and communities to recognize trauma and create safe spaces for children Invitation to the Church and Listeners The gospel calls us outward, not inward—expanding our experience of God's vastness through engagement with suffering Churches must discern how to integrate humanitarian concerns without distraction, embracing their historic role in refugee care Prayer requests: for hope, for patience to wait on the Lord, and for wisdom in making hard decisions “We are invited into a different orientation—the empathy piece is so critical because it is the thing that allows us to engage.” Production Credits Conversing is produced and distributed in partnership with Comment magazine and Fuller Seminary.

In a crowded field of seven hopefuls, Zekharia Selahadin is hoping his simple grassroots approach will generate support on October 25th from voters in Elmwood- East Kildonan. Part 1- He moved to Canada from Ethiopia as a child and grew up in Elmwood, and has worked in childcare and with the Green Team. In Episode 49, Selahadin discusses the top issues he's hearing about at the doorstep- including crime and road and sidewalk conditions. He's joined the call for a replacement of the Louise Bridge. The new and far-from-improved Transit system also comes up, as "I've seen many individuals waiting for a bus and it's full and people are squished inside it. I've seen the frustration first-hand." It's affected his own family members getting to and from work at night and he worries about their safety, especially with the longer walks now required. Marty Gold asks him if the management of Winnipeg Transit needs to be hauled on the carpet.25.45 Part 2- Selahadin agrees "it's important to have a car" in Winnipeg but wants residential speed limits reduced to 30k and more bike lanes. 37.25- Crime and disorder from homeless encampments are impacting the ward. Selahadin says that while "police are trying their best" supports for those who want to get housed need to be maintained. He's not sure if a centralized encampment area, like at the Legislature, would work because "a fight club" could result between rival factions placed in close proximity to each other.

Somalia has a serious security challengePaul Njie speaks to Hassan Sheikh Mohamud, President of Somalia, about ongoing efforts to achieve security and stability in his country. While he says much progress has been made in tackling terror, he acknowledges that the insurgent groups al-Qaeda and, in particular, al-Shabab still pose a serious challenge. However, he refutes the American charge that Somalia is a safe haven for terrorists - a charge that has led to a US travel ban for Somali nationals. He also stands firm in the face of pressure to allow the secession of Somaliland, the self-declared republic in the north of Somalia. The country's unity, he says, is sacrosanct. Long-running tensions with neighbouring Ethiopia are downplayed, and instead he gives his support to working together in both countries' interests. President Mohamud first came to power in 2012, at the head of an internationally backed Government that brought a degree of stability to a country riven by civil war for decades. Re-elected for a second time in 2022, he is now attempting to change the country's constitution to allow direct voting for all citizens rather than through clan elders. He believes this is necessary to continue Somalia's journey to democracy. Thank you to Paul Njie, Hassan Lali and Gladys Kigo for their help in making this programme.

The busy and often unpredictable nature of clinical practice can really challenge us as health professionals. So, how do we stay on top of all our work? How do we avoid constant battles with an incredibly scarce resource – time?How can we stay on time in clinical practice, and should we really worry about it too much, or is that only going to add to our cognitive load and stress? Is it really all that important, and what are the repercussions if we don't run on time?To find out the answers to these questions and more, join Dr Annalene Weston and Dr Simon Parson in this RiskBites podcast titled ‘Talking about time management'.“Time wasted by health professionals is time not invested in patients”: time management practice and associated factors among health professionals at public hospitals in Bahir Dar, Ethiopia: a multicenter mixed method study - PMCDoes time management work?

Which countries will be most affected? Then, Ethiopia has opened a controversial megadam built on the Nile River after 14 years of construction. It's at the center of a diplomatic spat with countries that fear their water supplies could be affected.

In this episode of The Horn, Alan is joined by Crisis Group's Africa Program Director, Murithi Mutiga, to discuss the inauguration of the Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam (GERD), Africa's largest hydroelectric dam. They trace the project's development during a tumultuous period for the region and explore its economic and political significance for Ethiopia. They examine why the project has raised tensions with the downstream Nile countries, Egypt and Sudan, why mediation efforts failed before completion, and to what extent concerns about GERD are justified. Finally, they discuss whether the dam can deliver the economic transformation Ethiopia hopes for, what it would take for Ethiopia, Egypt and Sudan to avert a future crisis, and how the dispute over the dam could still drive regional tensions for years to come.For more, check out our Ethiopia and Horn of Africa pages.

For many children, going barefoot isn't a choice—it's a daily struggle that puts their health, safety, and future at risk. But one pair of shoes can change that story.Today, we'll hear how Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls is bringing hope and dignity to vulnerable children around the world. Shawn Spurrier joins us to share how God is changing lives through something as ordinary—and extraordinary—as shoes.Shawn Spurrier is the Director of Buckner Shoes for Orphan Souls at Buckner International, an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A Mission That Began in DallasBuckner Shoes for Orphan Souls started in 1999 as a local effort in Dallas, Texas, to serve children in Russian orphanages. Over 25 years later, God has expanded this work into a global ministry. Today, more than 5 million children in 86 countries have received shoes through the generosity of churches, businesses, and believers across the U.S.What began as a small act of compassion has grown into a worldwide movement of hope.More Than Shoes: Health, Safety, and EducationAround 300 million children worldwide lack access to shoes. This barrier affects nearly every aspect of life:Health—Shoes prevent footborne diseases, many of which carry social stigma and long-term consequences.Education—In many countries, shoes are required for school attendance. Without them, children are forced to stay home, trapped in cycles of poverty.Hope—Receiving shoes as a gift in Jesus' name opens hearts to the Gospel and connects families with life-changing ministries.Shoes are more than fabric and rubber—they are a bridge to dignity, opportunity, and transformation.Restoring Dignity for FamiliesFor many of us, buying new shoes for back-to-school is routine. But in parts of the world where Buckner serves, parents may spend months saving to afford just one pair—or go without entirely. Some families must rotate a single pair of shoes between siblings, deciding who can attend school on a given day.The gift of shoes restores dignity to parents, enabling them to provide for their children and giving kids the confidence to learn, grow, and thrive.Global Reach and Local ImpactBuckner's ministry extends both globally and locally:United States—Shoe distributions in Texas, including for families affected by flooding.Latin America—Serving children in Guatemala, the Dominican Republic, Mexico, Honduras, and Peru.Africa—Programs in Ethiopia and Kenya.Beyond—Partnerships have extended Buckner's reach into 75+ additional countries.Every pair of shoes opens the door to broader ministry.

In this episode, Haley and Dustin sit down with Pastor Ryan Walling of Bayshore Baptist Church in La Porte, Texas. Ryan shares how he came to know the Lord as a child and sensed God's call into ministry, but much of our conversation centers around a deeply personal journey—walking through infertility, adoption, and parenting. Ryan and his wife, Jessica, wrestled with years of infertility before deciding to adopt—not just one child, but four siblings from Ethiopia. Shortly after finalizing the adoption, Jessica became pregnant. And then pregnant again. In just 15 months, the Wallings went from zero children to six! Ryan reflects on the joys and challenges of parenting, the whirlwind of raising six kids, and God's faithfulness along the way. Whether you've walked through infertility, considered adoption, or just need encouragement about God's faithfulness, this conversation is a beautiful reminder that God adopts us into His family and delights in us with fatherly joy.

God decided in advance to adopt us into his own family by bringing us to himself through Jesus Christ. This is what he wanted to do, and it gave him great pleasure.” Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.”

9 And when Jesus passed on from hence, he saw a man sitting in the custom house, named Matthew; and he saith to him: Follow me. And he rose up and followed him.Et, cum transiret inde Jesus, vidit hominem sedentem in telonio, Matthaeum nomine. Et ait illi : Sequere me. Et surgens, secutus est eum. 10 And it came to pass as he was sitting at meat in the house, behold many publicans and sinners came, and sat down with Jesus and his disciples.Et factum est, discumbente eo in domo, ecce multi publicani et peccatores venientes, discumbebant cum Jesu, et discipulis ejus. 11 And the Pharisees seeing it, said to his disciples: Why doth your master eat with publicans and sinners?Et videntes pharisaei, dicebant discipulis ejus : Quare cum publicanis et peccatoribus manducat magister vester? 12 But Jesus hearing it, said: They that are in health need not a physician, but they that are ill.At Jesus audiens, ait : Non est opus valentibus medicus, sed male habentibus. 13 Go then and learn what this meaneth, I will have mercy and not sacrifice. For I am not come to call the just, but sinners.Euntes autem discite quid est : Misericordiam volo, et non sacrificium. Non enim veni vocare justos, sed peccatores.St Matthew was at first a publican at the toll at Capernaum. The publicans on account of their many acts of injustice and extortion, were looked upon as the greatest sinners by many of the Jews. Matthew himself by his humble confession gratefully acknowledged the gracious condescension of the Lord to sinners. At his Matser's invitation he promptly joined Him. He wrote the first Gospel and preached the good news in Palestine and Ethiopia, where he was attacked and killed while saying Mass A.D. 60.

Many people feel caught in worry, fear, and constant striving—chasing achievements yet never feeling truly fulfilled. The restless “monkey mind” jumps from one thing to the next, amplifying stress and turning setbacks into heavy burdens. It doesn't have to be that way, though. You can move from mindless tasks to a mindful purpose. The shift begins by setting a clear, heartfelt intention rooted in something bigger. When the focus moves from self-gain to contribution, the right people, resources, and opportunities often begin to flow toward you.  In this episode, Reverend Michael Beckwith, Lynne Twist, Jay Shetty, and I talk about how shifting from fear and self-focus to living with intention, surrender, daily spiritual practices, and a purpose larger than oneself can transform challenges into growth, bring deeper fulfillment, and open unexpected opportunities. For over 30 years now, Reverend Michael Beckwith has embraced a practical approach to spirituality and has helped people see the benefits of meditation, affirmative prayer, and life visioning, a process he originated. He has spoken at the United Nations, hosted conferences featuring some of the top thinkers and leaders in a variety of industries, and he is also the founder of the Global Association for New Thought. He is a teacher, a speaker, and the author of several books. He has shared his insights on a number of well-known television programs, such as Oprah's Super Soul Sunday, Dr. Oz, Larry King Live, CNN, Tavis Smiley, and others. Lynne Twist has spent over 40 years working with more than 100,000 people in 50 countries in the realms of fundraising with integrity, conscious philanthropy, strategic visioning, and cultivating a healthy relationship with money. A renowned author and speaker, she has presented at the United Nations Beijing Women's Conference, State of the World Forum, Synthesis Dialogues with Dalai Lama, and the Governor's Conference on California Women. Recognized as a global visionary, Lynne has advised the Desmond Tutu Foundation and the Nobel Women's Initiative. She co-founded the Pachamama Alliance, a nonprofit empowering Indigenous people of the Amazon rainforest to preserve their lands and culture. From serving with Mother Teresa in Calcutta to aiding refugee camps in Ethiopia and protecting the Amazon, her on-the-ground work has given her profound insight into the social fabric of the world and the defining challenges of our time. Jay Shetty is a storyteller, podcaster, and former monk. Jay's vision is to Make Wisdom Go Viral. He is on a mission to share the timeless wisdom of the world in an accessible, relevant, and practical way.

Episode 191 with Joseph Kihara, Africa Practice Lead at Africa International Advisors and author of The Roads We Never Build: Rethinking Access to Infrastructure Finance in Africa.Joseph Kihara is reshaping the way we think about Africa's infrastructure challenge. Rather than focusing on a shortage of capital, he reframes the issue around access — the ability to design, structure, and deliver finance systems that fit the realities of African economies.In this episode, Joseph explains why so many infrastructure projects never reach financial close despite available funding, and how the legacy of extraction-driven infrastructure still shapes priorities today. He shares lessons from Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam, which was financed through innovative domestic mechanisms, and highlights how citizens, diasporas, and digital platforms could become Africa's untapped financing engine.We also dive into practical strategies for improving project readiness, creating aggregation platforms to attract big capital, and using blended finance with discipline.What We Discuss With JosephWhy Africa's infrastructure challenge is less about capital and more about access.The legacy of extraction-driven infrastructure and how it still shapes today's priorities.Lessons from Ethiopia's Grand Renaissance Dam on financing large-scale projects differently.Unlocking citizens, diasporas, and digital platforms as Africa's untapped financing engine.Practical solutions: improving project readiness, aggregation platforms, and blended finance.Building credibility, governance, and trust to attract long-term investment at scale.Verto CornerIn this week's Verto Corner, Robert Hallam, Director of Account Management at Verto, explains why client retention is the real engine of business growth. He shares how account management goes beyond reliable payments and transparent pricing to building long term partnerships rooted in trust and understanding.

Egypt and Ethiopia, A Tale of Two Dams

Several fuel tankers were destroyed in Mali after al Qaeda-linked insurgents, who had declared a blockade on fuel imports to the country, attacked a convoy of more than 100 vehicles. That's according to local reports. A fuel supply blockade initiated by the militant group, JNIM, has been in place since early September. The militants had threatened fuel importers and drivers that they would be targeted while bringing products into the country. Mali's Prime Minister Maïga said, "the damage caused clearly demonstrates that armed groups in the area are desperate and have adopted a new operating method, causing panic in certain places." We hear analysis. Also, there's concern in Ethiopia after 92% of grade 12 students who sat national examinations, failed. It's the third year in a row for bad results in the country. Why are students failing? And who benefits from the continued growth of the Mandarin language on the continent?Presenter: Charles Gitonga Producers: Yvette Twagiramariya, Patricia Whitehorne and Makuochi Okafor Technical Producer: Jonathan Greer Senior Journalist: Karnie Sharp Editors: Andre Lombard, Maryam Abdalla, Samuel Murunga and Alice Muthengi

For decades, CBC's foreign correspondent Brian Stewart covered events that changed the world, from the famine in Ethiopia to brutal regimes in Latin America, to the fall of the Berlin Wall. But it was his reports from Ethiopia that galvanized Canadians to send humanitarian aid to the region, and led to Live Aid, one of the biggest charity concerts in history. Brian Stewart reflects on his remarkable career on the front lines of history.

In this episode of China Decode, hosts Alice Han and James Kynge explore whether China's stock market rally marks the start of a true bull market—or just another round of state-driven froth. They then turn to Ethiopia's $5 billion Grand Renaissance Dam, built with Chinese expertise and financing, and ask what it reveals about Beijing's expanding influence in the Global South—and how tensions with Egypt could put that influence to the test. Finally, they look at the global rise of Labubu, the sharp-toothed plush toy embraced by celebrities from Rihanna to Naomi Osaka, and what this craze says about China's growing role as a cultural exporter.

Sometimes the most coolest moments in sport arrive by accident. When Julia Paternain crossed the finish line of the Tokyo World Championships marathon, she wasn't thinking about history and she wasn't even sure the race was over. Yet in that instant of disbelief, she had just given Uruguay its first-ever World Championships medal.In just her second marathon, the 25-year-old stunned the world with a fearless run, climbing from 15th place at halfway to finish third in 2:27:23 behind legends Tokyo Olympic champion Peres Jepchirchir of Kenya and former world record holder Tigist Assefa of Ethiopia. For a runner once who was among the last ones qualified for the championships, the bronze was unthinkable — and unforgettable.Born in Mexico, raised in England, tested in the NCAA system in the U.S., and now calling Flagstaff home, Paternain carries a layered identity but an unwavering pride of all those places.

What began as a response to the suffering of abandoned children, imprisoned women, and struggling families has grown into a vibrant ministry dedicated to meeting the whole person: physically, spiritually, and emotionally. Marcie explains the foundation's mission to care for orphans, provide education, offer prison ministry, and bring the hope of Christ to those most in need. She also reflects on the challenges of mission work, the miracles she has witnessed, and how Catholics everywhere can join in supporting this life-changing mission.

“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve. . . .” — Mark 10:45 Last year I took a course with mission leaders from around the world. On the first day, we were asked this question: How would you describe the central, gospel message of the Bible? I spoke up with an answer that reflects my church tradition. A few others chimed in with their answers. After several people had spoken, a classmate from Ethiopia gave an answer that many of us did not expect. She said, “I think the story of the Bible centers on the story of God as a servant.” That got our attention. She went on to explain, “The Bible opens with God creating the world and caring for Adam and Eve. The rest of the Bible is the story of how God put into place a plan to serve the world through his Son, Jesus.” And then she pointed out this beautiful detail: “The Bible ends with a picture of the new Jerusalem, which we are told will not need the sun or moon because God provides the light” (Revelation 21:23). From the beginning into eternity, God serves the world and all who are in it. I had never heard the good news framed in that way, reflecting a different perspective and cultural context. If Jesus came not to be served but to serve, how does that affect the way we live each day? How should it affect the way we live? Servant God, I am humbled by your willingness to do whatever was necessary to rescue me. Help me in my life to be a reflection of your self-giving heart. Amen.
