As we come to the end of this hypothesis, the Fathers leave us with something painfully ordinary. They do not give us visions of heaven or heights of contemplation. They speak about the tongue. About when to speak. About when to remain silent. About lowering the eyes. About saying only what is necessary. It feels almost too simple. Yet they place it before us as a matter of life and death. They tell us that God is always watching. Not watching in suspicion, but watching as One who longs to dwell within us. And yet how quickly the door of the mouth is thrown open and everything inside spills out. Opinions. Explanations. Justifications. Pious thoughts. Clever remarks. Even good words spoken at the wrong time. We imagine that because something is true or orthodox or well intentioned it must be spoken. But the Fathers are ruthless here. They tell us that even good speech can disperse the soul. Saint Diadochus says that when the doors of the baths are left open, the heat escapes. So too with the soul. We labor for years to gather the mind, to kindle even a small flame of prayer, and then in a few careless conversations it dissipates. We leave a gathering inwardly empty. Not because we sinned gravely, but because we spoke much. The tragedy is not only that we lose recollection. It is that we begin to live outwardly. We become performers of thoughts. We interrupt. We insert ourselves. We fear being unnoticed. Saint Maximos unmasks this disease with precision. He says the one who interrupts reveals his love of glory. How often do we speak not from charity but from hunger. Hunger to be seen. To be affirmed. To be needed. Even in spiritual settings. Especially there. Isaiah the Anchorite brings it to the ground level. If you must speak, do so quietly. With humility. With reverence. As one ignorant. As one unworthy. Lower the face. Say little. Return quickly to silence. This is not theatrical piety. It is an interior stance. The tongue restrained becomes a sign that the passions are not ruling the heart. The Gerontikon cuts even deeper. Abba Joseph says he cannot control his tongue. The elder asks him one question. Do you find peace when you talk. No. Then why talk. There is something almost brutal in that simplicity. We speak and we lose peace. Yet we keep speaking. Abba Sisoes, a great ascetic, confesses that for thirty years he has prayed to be delivered from sins of the tongue and still he falls daily. This should sober us. If such a man trembles over his speech, what of us who speak constantly and without fear. And yet the Fathers do not romanticize silence. Abba Isaac exposes the counterfeit. There is a silence born of pride, of wanting the glory of being perceived as spiritual. A brooding silence that hides malice. A calculated silence that manipulates. This is not holiness. This is ego dressed in restraint. True silence either springs from zeal for virtue or from inward conversation with God. If it is not one of these, it will decay into self admiration. The stakes are high. If you guard your tongue, Isaac says, God will give you compunction. Compunction. The gift of seeing your own soul. The light of the mind. The joy of the Spirit. Silence becomes not emptiness but revelation. But if the tongue conquers you, you will never escape darkness. We are accustomed to thinking that sanctification comes through great works. Through ministries. Through projects. Through visible sacrifices. The Fathers insist that it may begin with something as small and humiliating as closing the mouth. Not as repression. Not as fear. But as reverence. To speak only when there is good reason. To speak because it is God's will and not because it soothes our anxiety. To listen more than we talk. To accept being unknown. To resist the need to untie every thought that wanders into the stable of the mind. This teaching must be internalized or it will remain quaint desert wisdom. It must confront us in the car after a conversation that left us agitated. It must confront us before we send the message, before we correct someone, before we offer unsolicited counsel, before we share a clever insight. It must question us. Is this necessary. Is this born of love. Will this preserve peace. Or am I simply opening the door and letting the heat escape. All things must be touched by grace. Speech can console, heal, illumine, and reconcile. Speech can also scatter, inflame, and darken. The same tongue that blesses can wound. The same mouth that proclaims Christ can betray Him. If we do not yet have a pure heart, the Fathers say, at least have a pure mouth. It is a beginning. A humiliating beginning. A door set firmly in place. And behind that door, if we are faithful, the slow birth of compunction. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:04:48 Fr.

However, the true purpose is to encourage thoughtful decisions, support accountability, and promote open communication with stakeholders. In this podcast, Dr Sabine Dembkowski, Founder and Managing Partner, is joined by Kelvin Ernest, a governance professional with extensive experience navigating evolving regulatory expectations and corporate reporting practice. As a Senior Policy Associate in the Financial Reporting Council's Corporate Governance and Stewardship team, Kelvin contributes to stakeholder engagement, policy development, reporting analysis, research, and the development of the updated UK Corporate Governance Code.“The biggest takeaway for boards is that it encourages them to think carefully about how each provision fits into their own individual contexts.“In practice, the UK Corporate Governance Code operates at two levels. Companies apply and explain against high-level principles and then address the more detailed comply or explain provisions. Companies can choose to follow the recommended approach or take a different route that better fits their circumstances. For Kelvin, this is part of how the Code recognises that one size doesn't fit all and that a well-reasoned departure can be entirely appropriate.“The flexibility is a real strength of the UK model.”Kelvin knows that 'comply or explain' is widely debated. For him, in rules-only systems, there's too much formulaic behaviour and box ticking. The UK model allows companies to tailor their governance to their individual strategies and business complexity. “More companies are moving away from boilerplate reporting.”Under the current model, Kelvin notes that companies are shifting what they share. There's less generic, vague, and boilerplate language. Rationales are clearer. Where there are temporary departures, there's more insight and disclosure around timeframes, and more evidence of genuine board discussions.“Explanations don't exist in a vacuum.”For boards wondering how to show an alternative approach is best, Kelvin says a good place to start is by linking it to company strategy and culture, day-to-day operations, and the nuances of the industry. Where possible, he recommends outlining the board's decision-making process and what was considered. “Investors want clarity as to why a departure was made and how that supports the long-term value creation of the company.” Kelvin knows investors find it hard to form a view or make decisions based on generic or vague explanations. They want clarity, specifics, and links to a company's reality. Kelvin notes that too many people believe transparency means revealing confidential details. He says it is more about providing meaningful context, which is the basis for building trust. The three top takeaways from our conversation are:1.     Comply or Explain is about thoughtful governance and not just about reporting.2.    High-quality explanations show accountability, demonstrate transparency, and reassure stakeholders that the company is thinking about decisions for the longer term.3.    Engagement with stakeholders strengthens trust, helps boards refine their governance approacCome Join The Better Boards Community We'd love to get to know you!

Leviticus 10:1–2, 16–20 (ESV)  “Now Nadab and Abihu, the sons of Aaron, each took his censer and put fire in it and laid incense on it and offered unauthorized fire before the Lord, which he had not commanded them. And fire came out from before the Lord and consumed them, and they died before the Lord. … Now Moses diligently inquired about the goat of the sin offering, and behold, it was burned up. And he was angry with Eleazar and Ithamar, the surviving sons of Aaron, saying, ‘Why have you not eaten the sin offering in the place of the sanctuary, since it is a thing most holy and has been given to you that you may bear the iniquity of the congregation, to make atonement for them before the Lord?' And Aaron said to Moses, ‘Behold, today they have offered their sin offering and their burnt offering before the Lord, and yet such things as these have happened to me! If I had eaten the sin offering today, would the Lord have approved?' And when Moses heard that, he approved.” In this episode of Daily Devotions, Pastor David Sumrall draws our attention to an important leadership lesson from Leviticus. God's commands matter deeply, especially to those who serve near His presence. When Nadab and Abihu disregarded what the Lord had instructed, the consequences were immediate and severe, showing that closeness to God carries responsibility. Later in the chapter, Moses confronted Aaron and his remaining sons over another concern. This time, Moses asked questions and listened carefully to Aaron's explanation. Aaron's actions were shaped by grief and circumstance, not defiance. When Moses heard the explanation, he accepted it. This passage shows us that wise leadership holds firmly to God's instructions while also listening carefully when there is a reasonable explanation. Leaders must care deeply about obedience, but they must also be willing to hear the heart behind a situation. Leviticus reminds us that discernment, humility, and listening are essential in leadership within the Bible and Church life at Cathedral of Praise and beyond, as taught through Daily Devotions with David Sumrall. ---- Discover fundamental truths and the power of Scripture with Pastor David E.

We talk about the difference between being understood and truly understanding, why boundaries don't require agreement to be valid, and how looping conversations can exhaust relationships at work, at home, and in love. A grounded conversation on learning when to pause, listen, and let boundaries exist without turning them into debates.Support the show

A key insight social anthropologist Mukulika Banerjee had while observing electoral behavior in a Bengali village was that -- at least in the India of that moment -- elections were sacred. This was not a religious epiphany but a cultural one; at the center was not a figure, religious or political, but an ideal - democracy. Banerjee has explored her insights in the years since in a variety or formats, but academic and popular, ranging from her written work like 2021's Cultivating Democracy: Politics and citizenship in agrarian India or 2014's Why India Votes? to a 2009 radio documentary for the BBC specifically titled "Sacred Elections." In this Social Science Bites podcast, the professor at the London School of Economics reviews much of the underlying scholarship behind those works, then explores with host David Edmonds the de-sanctification of democracy in both India and the Global North in the years since. "I think what has happened ... in the US and in the UK," she explains, "is a complacency that regardless of whether you do your little bit, whether it is literally just turning up to vote or learning to organize and be informed politically, is going to happen regardless of whether you do it or not. And because of this complacency, is precisely why these degenerations of democracy have happened." Banerjee is the founding series editor of Routledge's Exploring the Political in South Asia and is also working on a grant from the Indo-European Networking Programme in the Social Sciences on Explanations of Electoral Change in Urban and Rural India. This year, courtesy of a British Academy-Leverhulme Senior Fellowship, she is on a research sabbatical studying the nexus of democracy and taxation.

Wow! Here it is, the very first episode of ParaReality that I ever did. I had just signed up for a Live365 account and all I had was a headset microphone and an idea. I also had no clue what I was doing! I think that the first version of ParaReality Radio was a unique one. It combined stories of the paranormal with a nice dose of rock music, ending with one of the most popular segments that I ever did - News of the Strange. Back then, I could get away with playing music because Live365 covered me with music licensing. I know I'm not supposed to play licensed music without permission, but I feel that I need to keep the integrity of the original episode by keeping it as is. If I get into trouble, so be it. For some reason, I decided that for my very first episode of ParaReality ever, I wanted to tackle the story of the Devil's Footprints. a legend of hoof-like marks left by the Devil left in Devon, England. After heavy snowfall, mysterious, hoof-like prints appeared in a straight line for over 100 miles, crossing obstacles like rooftops and rivers, causing widespread panic. Explanations vary from escaped animals (kangaroos, donkeys) and unusual atmospheric conditions to a hoax, but the mystery remains unsolved.  Please keep in mind that this was the very first episode that I did, so I had no clue what I was doing. It's definitely not my best work by far. That being kept in mind, it is what it is. I hope you can appreciate it. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

They thought they were moving into a home. What they actually moved into was a presence—one that didn't announce itself with screams, but with precision. Little things. Quiet rearrangements. A bag that tips… then stands upright by itself. Objects placed dead center on the kitchen floor like a message. A house that seems to watch and wait for the moment someone is alone. Then the sightings begin. An old man sitting in a kitchen chair, looking up with a face so sad it stops someone in their tracks. A child describing a terrifying woman—messy hair, “witch-like,” peeking from the doorway… then pulling back as if she's hiding. And a shadowy figure in a hat, walking the hallway again and again, like he's on patrol. The family tries to treat it like a security problem. Locks are changed. Windows checked. Explanations forced. But none of it matters—because the truth is uglier: Whatever is there… was there first. #TrueGhostStory #HauntedHouse #RealParanormal #TheHatMan #ShadowPeople #TerrifyingEncounters #TrueHorror #GhostSightings #ParanormalActivity #CreepyStories #RealGhosts  Love real ghost stories?
