In this concluding message on biblical fatherhood, we consider the responsibilities God has entrusted to fathers and the privilege of reflecting our Heavenly Father’s love within the home. While the world often measures success by wealth, status, or achievement, Scripture reminds us that faithful fatherhood is one of God’s highest callings. Join us as we … Continue reading "The Blessing of Fatherhood, Part 2"

Our guest has resurrected the word ‘instigators’ and given it a powerful and positive connotation. In this case, she is bringing attention the historical importance of Black women, ages 18 to 45, whose role continues to be that of pushing our society forward for social justice and historic reforms of all kinds.  Atima Omara, author of “The Instigators: How Black Women Have Been Essential to American Democracy and What We Can Learn from Them”, challenges us to consider any progressive movement–be it abolition, voting rights, labor justice, the environment, the rights for LGBTQ and those advances relating to persons with disability–to recognize the central role the ‘instigators’ have played throughout our history.  Even the Flint, Michigan water crises and the attention and action brought to it came about because of these brave young Black women.  We revisit some of the history and current day impacts that these women have had and continue to on our society as they resist being pushed to the margins with a range of creative efforts to bend the nation’s moral compass toward justice.

Welcome to Day 2904 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2904– “The Ultimate Close Encounter”  based on Luke 9:51-62 Putnam Church Message – 06/14/2026 The Good News According to Luke: “Snapshots From An Amazing Album.”   Last week's message was “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” in which we studied four snapshots from Christ's ministry. Today, we continue with our twenty-eighth message from Luke's narrative of the Good News of Jesus Christ. Today's message is: “A Face Like Flint.” Our core passage today is Luke 9:51-62, on page 1611 of your pew Bibles. Samaritan Opposition 51 As the time approached for him to be taken up to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem. 52 And he sent messengers on ahead, who went into a Samaritan village to get things ready for him; 53 but the people there did not welcome him, because he was heading for Jerusalem. 54 When the disciples James and John saw this, they asked, “Lord, do you want us to call fire down from heaven to destroy them[a]?” 55 But Jesus turned and rebuked them. 56 Then he and his disciples went to another village. The Cost of Following Jesus 57 As they were walking along the road, a man said to him, “I will follow you wherever you go.” 58 Jesus replied, “Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head.” 59 He said to another man, “Follow me.” But he replied, “Lord, first let me go and bury my father.” 60 Jesus said to him, “Let the dead bury their own dead, but you go and proclaim the kingdom of God.” 61 Still another said, “I will follow you, Lord; but first let me go back and say goodbye to my family.” 62 Jesus replied, “No one who puts a hand to the plow and looks back is fit for service in the kingdom of God.” Opening Prayer Father, we come before You today grateful for the steady, determined love of Jesus Christ. We confess that our hearts are often divided. We are distracted by comfort, delayed by excuses, wounded by rejection, and tempted to look back when You call us forward. Lord Jesus, as we watch You set Your face toward Jerusalem, help us see the depth of Your love and the seriousness of Your mission. Teach us what it means to follow You with unreserved sacrifice,>undivided devotion,> and unwavering commitment. Give us courage to press on. Give us grace to forgive. Give us faith to follow. May Your Word shape our hearts today. Amen.   Introduction: The Finish Line in View The 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles gave us one of the most unforgettable marathon moments in Olympic history. Gabriela Andersen-Schiess entered the stadium near the end of the women's marathon, but something was terribly wrong. Heat exhaustion and dehydration had taken hold of her body. Her legs were stiff. Her movements were uneven. Her body looked like it might collapse at any step. Doctors moved toward her, but she waved them off because if they helped her, she would be disqualified. She had already run more than twenty-six miles. Only a few hundred meters remained. So she kept moving. / Step by painful step. / Lean, stagger, recover. / Another step. / Another step. / Another step. For nearly six agonizing minutes, she willed herself forward until she crossed the finish line and collapsed into medical care. What stayed with people was not that she won the race. She did not. What stayed with people was her determination. The finish line had become her single focus. She had come too far to quit. In Luke 9:51, Luke brings us to a major turning point in his Gospel. Jesus has healed the sick, calmed the storm, cast out demons, raised the dead, fed the multitudes, revealed His glory on the mountain, and taught His disciples what the Kingdom of God is like. / But now the story turns. Luke says, “As the time drew near for him to ascend to heaven, Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem.”  That phrase — “Jesus resolutely set out for Jerusalem,” — is powerful. It draws from the Old Testament image in Isaiah 50:7, where the Servant of the Lord says, “I have set my face like flint.” Flint is a hard stone. It does not bend easily. It is not soft clay. It is firm, sharp, and unyielding. Jesus set His face like flint toward Jerusalem. / Why Jerusalem? Because Jerusalem was where betrayal waited. Jerusalem was where rejection waited. Jerusalem was where false trials waited. Jerusalem was where the cross waited. Jerusalem was where the tomb waited. But Jerusalem was also where resurrection would break the power of death. Jerusalem was where salvation would be accomplished. From this point forward in Luke's Gospel, the cross is always in the background. Every conversation, every parable, every miracle, every encounter is moving Jesus closer to the place where He will give His life for the sins of the world. The theme of this passage is simple| but demanding: Jesus pressed on toward the cross, and He calls His followers to press on after Him. Here are the four truths that we can glean from today's passage, as found in your bulletin insert on the side ‘A Face Like Flint.' Main Point 1: Jesus Set His Face Toward the Father's Mission Luke tells us that the time was approaching for Jesus to be taken up. That points beyond the cross, beyond the grave, beyond the resurrection, all the way to His ascension. Jesus knew the whole journey. He was not stumbling into Jerusalem unaware. He was not trapped by circumstances. He was not surprised by the hostility waiting there. He was not swept along by political events beyond His control. Jesus knew where He was going. And He went anyway. That is love. In the previous message, “Snapshots From An Amazing Album,” we saw Jesus tell His disciples again that He would be handed over into the hands of men. They did not understand. They were afraid to ask. But Jesus understood fully. He knew the cost before He paid it. / Now, He begins the journey. This is the beginning of what many Bible students call Luke's “travel section.” From Luke 9:51 through much of chapter 19, Jesus is moving toward Jerusalem. Luke will remind us again and again that Jesus is on the way. He is not He is not He is not He is pressing on.     Ancient Context: The Servant With a Flint Face Isaiah 50 gives us the background. The Servant of the Lord says He gave His back to those who struck Him, / His cheeks to those who pulled out His beard, / and His face to humiliation and spitting. Then He says, “Because the Sovereign Lord helps me, I will not be disgraced. Therefore, I have set my face like a stone.” That is the spirit of Luke 9:51. Jesus knew humiliation was coming. / He knew suffering was coming. / He knew the cross was coming. / Yet He set His face like flint. This is not stubbornness. Stubbornness can be foolish. This is holy resolve. This is obedience anchored in the Father's will. Object Lesson: Flint and Clay Hold two objects: a piece of soft clay and a slate. Clay can be pressed, shaped, bent, and changed by almost any outside force. But flint is firm. It holds its edge.

For decades, the strange neolithic monuments at Gobekli Tepe in Turkey have mystified archaeologists, historians, and enthusiasts alike. The enigmatic ruin challenges everything we once "knew" about our ancient past, and according to some, it may tell a story so dangerous that those in power will do anything they can to prevent it from being excavated to the fullest extent. The question is, are the conspiracy theories peddled by men like Jimmy Corsetti and Michael Button true, or is it all just one big grift? @FlintDibble joins us for the inaugural episode of The Lore Lads to talk about history, archaeology, and what's really holding us back from diving head first into the shadows which lurk at the distant edges of the human story...

As we get older, our bodies slow down - it starts to take longer to get back to 100 percent, when recovering from the gym or a sports-match. But longer periods of rest-days can compound, and lead to our fitness goals slipping out of reach. So how do we prevent that? Do we shift our routines to something less-intense, and lower-impact, to get more days in the gym? Or readjust our workout-splits? BodyTorque Fitness Founder and Coach Alex Flint joins the Health Hub to discuss. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This week on Breaking Battlegrounds, host Chuck Warren flys solo to examine the growing appeal of socialism, the failures of government price controls, allegations of foreign-funded political unrest, the Charlie Kirk murder case, Arizona's escalating school-choice battle, and a new approach to America's federal assistance programs. First, former prosecutor and U.S. Senate Chief of Staff Chuck Flint joins the show to explain why price controls often make housing, healthcare, and other necessities more expensive and less available. Using New York's rent policies and Obamacare as examples, Flint discusses the consequences of government interference in private markets and responds to the rise of socialist candidates such as Zohran Mamdani. Flint also discusses his experience as a prosecutor and examines how anti-ICE demonstrations and unrest are organized and financed. He outlines reported connections involving activist networks, Neville Roy Singham, and possible Chinese Communist Party influence. The conversation then turns to the preliminary hearing for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk. Flint explains why death penalty cases require extensive procedural safeguards, how prosecutors attempt to protect a conviction from future appeals, and why poorly managed judicial dockets may contribute more to court backlogs than a shortage of judges. Follow Chuck Flint on X: @ChuckAFlint Learn more about the Alliance for IRS Accountability: IRSAccountability.org Next, B takes listeners inside the mysterious final hours of Chalino Sánchez in this week's B's Crime Corner. The Mexican corrido singer built his career by writing about violence, survival, cartels, and the experiences of people around him. During his final performance in Culiacán in May 1992, Sánchez was filmed reading a note that many believe contained a death threat. Hours later, armed men reportedly abducted him, and his body was discovered the following morning. Was the note truly his death sentence, and who ordered Chalino Sánchez's murder? Matt Beienburg, Director of Education Policy at the Goldwater Institute and Director of its Van Sittert Center for Constitutional Advocacy, then joins Chuck and Sam to discuss the fight over Arizona's Empowerment Scholarship Account program. Beienburg explains how teachers unions gathered hundreds of thousands of signatures for a ballot initiative that could significantly restrict the ESA program, which now serves approximately 100,000 students. He warns that the proposal could impose income limits, restrict eligibility, and remove unused scholarship money that families have saved for future educational expenses. He also discusses the Military Family Protection Act, a proposed Arizona constitutional amendment intended to protect scholarship funds belonging to military families. Because the proposal would be placed in the state Constitution, it could override conflicting statutory changes if voters approve both measures. The conversation also covers two Arizona ballot measures addressing race-based discrimination, the role of outside money in ballot campaigns, and whether voters receive enough information about who is financing major initiatives. Follow Matt Beienburg on X: @MBeienburg Learn more about his work: GoldwaterInstitute.org Finally, Nic Dunn, Vice President of Strategy and Senior Fellow at the Sutherland Institute, joins the show to discuss "empowerment accounts," a proposal to combine multiple federal assistance programs into one streamlined monthly benefit. Dunn explains how the system could reduce administrative complexity, provide stronger incentives for recipients to work and increase their earnings, and address the benefit cliffs that can punish families for becoming more financially independent. He also offers a balanced perspective on artificial intelligence, recognizing its potential benefits while addressing legitimate concerns about its social and economic effects. The discussion concludes with a look at how the Sutherland Institute uses podcasts, videos, and other multimedia formats to make detailed policy research accessible to a broader audience.

On this, it must be said, heavier than usual episode, our hosts Ashleigh and Flint go over:  Tough news from the US Supreme Court and their recent regressive ruling on Title IX, allowing state's sports bans for trans players (mostly trans women). The UK's new draft conversion therapy ban and the loopholes large enough to drive a bus through. More changes within the PATHWAYS puberty blocker trial. Scottish Prisons now being told to house trans women on the male estate and vice versa, thanks to a case brought by For Women Scotland. For our Meat this fortnight, we look at the story of one family deeply affected by the puberty blocker ban and anonymously interview one parent about the experience of having a trans child in this landscape and the help that was offered to them by WellBN.

Is the "purest" water you can buy actually the worst thing for your body?This week I sat down with Martin Riese, the world's water sommelier and water advocate, the man behind the very first water menu and the guy Netflix, National Geographic, and Buzzfeed all call when they want the truth about water.Martin's been studying water since 2005, and he's built his whole career on debunking the myths the rest of us have been sold. He dropped a bomb early on: the viral "water crystal" science everyone loves came from a man with a fake doctorate who refused a million-dollar offer to replicate his findings in a real lab.Here's what blew my mind: last year, AI data centers used more water than every bottled water company in America combined. And he told me exactly why the "pure" water so many of us chase — the zero-TDS, ultra-filtered kind — can actually strip your body of the minerals it needs to hydrate you at all. He even told me why a Diet Coke can technically hydrate you better than nothing, and unpacked the $5,000 MLM water machine he says has zero proof behind its health claims.After this conversation, you'll never look at your glass of water — or your water bill — the same way again.What we talk about:Why "water sommelier" is a real certified job, not a jokeThe fake doctorate behind the viral water crystal trendWhy filtered water isn't actually dehydrating youThe zero-TDS trick that's fooling people into buying the wrong waterWhy he's against the $5,000 machine everyone's selling onlineWhat Flint, Michigan's tap water actually tasted likeWhy AI data centers might be the next water crisisWhy he refuses supplements, creams, and quick fixesEpisode Links:Website: ⁠https://www.martin-riese.com/⁠Instagram: ⁠https://www.instagram.com/martinriese/⁠TikTok: ⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@martinrieseofficial⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/c/MartinRiese⁠Connect with Tracy:Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Hydration Shop: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://sanctuarysd.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/tracyduhs/⁠⁠Flow FAM Community: ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://tracyduhs.com/join-flow-fam/⁠⁠

Cobb's return as the exasperated Lloyd Cramden, women villains, and the colorful supporting cast that rounds out this campy adventure. They also cover the critical reception, the box office numbers, and why this sequel never quite matched its predecessor. But that's not all. It isn't all about the Swinging Sixties. Since this is a Decoded episode, we trace the movie's roots back through decades of spy cinema, and forward into the franchises it helped shape.

Whether you're a longtime fan of Derek Flint or discovering this spy spoof for the first time, this episode has something for you. Listen and discover why this sequel still has a loyal following, decades after its release.

Hello!Ugly stuff? Broken Bones? The earliest archaeologists a century ago ignored these. But not my guest today! Flint Dibble is an ancient historian and archaeological scientist who studies people, animals, and the environment in the ancient Greek world. According to his words, his goal is to make real archaeological research accessible to everyone.With the publication of "The agropastoral debate in context: the relationship between the consumption and management of animals at Azoria on Crete" I wanted to share this conversation I had with Flint about the food in Ancient Greece. What do we know? What does the archaeological evidence tells us that is the same, similar or diverges, from the literary sources that survived the passage of time?What animals were eaten in ancient Greece? How did the ancient Greeks prepared them? And what was the difference between home cooking and sacrificial, professional butchering and cooking for public feasts? How were the poor and the elite different in their eating habits, and how was the food cooked at home and in mobile situations? What does the isotope analysis of teeth and bones tells us about the climate through a millennia of ancient greek history, and how that affected the agropastoralism and transhumanism? When were the first chickens eaten in the Greek context? All the above and a lot more are discussed in our conversation with the fantastic Flint Dibble!The write up about Flint's article can be found here:A goat's tooth may have solved a 100‑year debate about ancient Greek farminghttps://theconversation.com/a-goats-tooth-may-have-solved-a-100-year-debate-about-ancient-greek-farming-285839The article:https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007/s12520-026-02512-7Flint's YouTube channel:www.youtube.com/@flintdibbleMusic by Pavlos KapralosEnjoy!Thom & The Delicious Legacy PodcastSupport the podcast on Ko-Fi and Patreon for ad-free episodes!https://ko-fi.com/thedeliciouslegacypodcasthttps://www.patreon.com/c/thedeliciouslegacySupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/the-delicious-legacy.

During this week's office hours Pastor Amos led discussions on hearing God's voice and fielded questions from participants. Micah shared his experience learning to recognize God's voice through short statements that align with Scripture over 25 years ago, and discussed his recent receipt of compensation from the Flint water crisis lawsuit after 11-12 years. Rosalind discussed dreams she had been experiencing about marriage and relationships, connecting them to her past sexual trauma and questioning how God communicates through such "strange" methods. Stephanie shared her experience persevering through a hurricane recovery process to receive government assistance for her roof, emphasizing the importance of being persistent and providing complete information. The conversation then shifted to practical topics including using AI assistants like Claude for business research and removing phone numbers from spam call databases. Doyin and Deborah contributed insights about predestination and the difference between research and clinical mindsets when studying the Bible, with Deborah sharing her experience taking a psychology licensing exam and learning to approach Scripture from a clinical perspective rather than just an academic one. __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com __________    

IT WAS STEVE McCLAREN, FLINT! Flint has to hand in his United card as he has a senior moment on the Podcast! A timely death saves John from having a barren segment. Rossy reviews some 'Sword and Sandals' movies. All this and the Prog Review!

Today I am here with Kathryn Nicolai, creator of the wonderful sleep podcast Nothing Much Happens, the amazing mindfulness podcast First This, and the lively and delightful podcast Stories from the Village of Nothing Much. Kathryn'new book, On the Street Where You Live, comes out next month, in July 2026. Here is her Instagram, a great place to see what's going on with Kathryn and her creations!Kathryn is intentionally cultivating joy. She began drawing earlier this year, despite having aphantasia (lack of visual imagery – no sound, colours, shapes or forms) and is loving the playful creativity. She's taking online courses and filling her walls with new designs.In our conversation today, Kathryn reflects on letting go of perfectionism and claiming the identity of ‘writer' simply because she chooses to.How she got hereKathryn once believed she wasn't creative, surrounded by artistic friends and family. Over time she learned creativity is a practice. She's now 400+ episodes into Nothing Much Happens, on her second book and running three podcasts.Growing up in Flint, Michigan, she told herself bedtime stories from the age of four. After 20 years teaching yoga/meditation, storytelling was a more accessible way to help people rest and regulate.Kathryn has known sound designer Bob Wittersheim for some time and when she started working with him on Nothing Much Happens, he worked for free. Kathryn describes his compassionate and protective energy and credits him with grounding her.Characters and perspectivesKathryn realised early on that all her stories lived in the same universe. Writing in first person helps listeners to ‘pull the story around them' and she includes a broad range of representative characters. Her upcoming book expands this catalogue of characters. She is now experimenting with a more eagle‑eyed view of the village while keeping her intuitive, centered style. She wants to stay inspired and genuine.InclusivityAs a queer woman, Kathryn values creating spaces where everyone feels safe. We discuss the joy of stories where characters live freely and fully.Anorexia and OrthorexiaKathryn speaks openly about her eating disorders, now seven years into recovery. She reflects on the years lost and the creativity gained since healing; she wants to model recovery.Recovery and identityHere is a lovely moment in our conversation – I share how First This supported me during a period of reclaiming my name and intuition. Kathryn emphasises that creators often help people they'll never meet. She quotes the Regina Spektor song ‘Better', with the line ‘If you never say your name out loud to anyone they can never ever call you by it'. Kathryn describes bodily awareness, connection, her dog beside her, and the joy of this conversation as what feels present for her in this moment.I'm filled with gratitude, to have had this conversation and to be able to bring it to you.Invitations to Play with Kay* I'm offering online workshops throughout 2026, and an in-person retreat here in Maine in September - see more at https://kaylockkolp.com/events* If community is something you value, consider joining Dreamers & Doers.

HER 250, Episode 3: From Bearing Witness to Building PowerThe final episode of HER 250 turns from history to the present — and to what comes next.Dr. Crystallee Crain opens with an unflinching look at where the gaps from Episodes One and Two still show up today. The wage gap remains stark and racially specific: Native American women are paid 53 cents, Latinas 54 cents, and Black women 63 cents for every dollar paid to white, non-Hispanic men. Maternal health disparities persist even across education levels — Black women with a college degree have higher pregnancy-related mortality rates than white women without a high school diploma, evidence that the gap is about racism, not income.But this episode is also a celebration of what's being built right now. Dr. Crain highlights Deb Haaland, the first Native American Cabinet secretary in U.S. history, who used her position as Secretary of the Interior to launch the federal investigation into Indian boarding schools discussed in Episode One. She points to Stacey Abrams, whose work with Fair Fight Action after Georgia's contested 2018 governor's race helped register hundreds of thousands of new voters.From there, Dr. Crain lays out a concrete vision for an intersectional future — disaggregated public health data, redistributive philanthropy, real community governance, and culture as a vehicle for healing — drawing directly from her own work building the Michigan Prevention Data Atlas. The series closes on a personal note: a reflection on the women of Flint, Michigan, who Dr. Crain calls "the infrastructure of this country," and a charge to listeners that the next 250 years belong to all of us.Episode 3 Citations[1] Wage gap figures are sourced from the National Partnership for Women and Families, "America's Women and the Wage Gap" (nationalpartnership.org), based on U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement, 2025 (reporting 2024 data), and corroborated by the AAUW Equal Pay Day Calendar (aauw.org, 2026).[2] Maternal health disparities by education level are documented by KFF (Kaiser Family Foundation), "Racial Disparities in Maternal and Infant Health: Current Status and Key Issues" (kff.org).[3] Deb Haaland's historic confirmation as the first Native American Cabinet secretary and her launch of the Federal Indian Boarding School Initiative are documented by the U.S. Department of the Interior (doi.gov, press release, May 11, 2022).[4] Stacey Abrams's voter registration work through Fair Fight Action following the 2018 Georgia governor's race is documented by Fair Fight Action (fairfight.com) and corroborated by reporting from NPR, the New York Times, and the Washington Post.

On this episode of Fishing the DMV, I sit down with Kevin Flint of Flint Financial Planning for one of the most important conversations we've had about the future of fishing, tournament angling, and the real cost of chasing this sport.Kevin grew up fishing Smith Mountain Lake with his dad out of an old Ranger bass boat, and today he brings a unique perspective as both a lifelong angler and a Certified Financial Planner. We talk about how Smith Mountain Lake has changed over the years, the impact of blueback herring on the fishery, the recent low-water conditions, and how the lake's economy has evolved since COVID.Then we take a deep dive into the financial side of bass fishing. Why are boats, trucks, gas, tackle, hotels, and entry fees getting so expensive? Are tournament payouts keeping up with inflation? Is forward-facing sonar really the reason tournament participation is down, or is the real issue the rising cost of everything around the sport?Kevin breaks down the economics behind the fishing industry, why $100,000 in tournament winnings does not go as far as it used to, and what young anglers need to understand before taking on debt to chase the dream. We also discuss LLCs, Schedule C income, taxes on tournament winnings, guide businesses, budgeting, credit card debt, buy-now-pay-later programs, umbrella insurance, and how anglers at every stage of life can make smarter financial decisions.Whether you're a high school angler, college fisherman, weekend tournament guy, full-time guide, retiring angler, or someone dreaming about buying a new boat, this episode is packed with information that could save you a lot of money and stress.Please note: this conversation is for general educational purposes only and should not be considered personal financial, legal, or tax advice.

In Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom (Routledge, 2026) Steven Segal explores Nelson Mandela's extraordinary ability to lead through moments of existential crisis and uncertainty. Central to Mandela's leadership was his attunement to mood—the emotional and existential atmosphere through which people experience disruption. Long overlooked in leadership studies, mood shaped the way Mandela created trust, defused fear, and opened possibilities when conventional strategies failed. Mandela's wisdom was forged not only in prison but in the existential challenges he faced upon leaving the familiarity of his ancestral homeland and confronting the disorientation of city life. From this early rupture through to his imprisonment, the collapse of apartheid, and the assassination of Chris Hani, he demonstrated a rare capacity to transform existential threats into opportunities for renewal and unity. This book examines how Mandela combined strategic foresight with therapeutic sensitivity, allowing him to guide individuals and nations through disruption with ethical resolve and visionary clarity. Drawing on frameworks from Heidegger and Ubuntu it highlights Mandela's "existential practical wisdom"—the ability to embrace uncertainty, work with paradox, and foster collective transformation through attuned presence. By investigating Mandela's profound relational sensitivity, including his ability to turn estrangement and enmity into trust and collaboration, the book offers timeless lessons for navigating today's global crises. It is ideal for professionals seeking inspiration for leading in turbulent times and for students interested in leadership, philosophy, or history. Steven Segal was formerly an Associate Professor of Management at Macquarie University, Australia and is currently in private practice as a psychologist and leadership coach. He also runs professional development workshops for coaches and psychotherapists. Elena Sobrino is an anthropologist studying environmental emotions and politics. Her current writing projects focus on the Flint water crisis, and she regularly teaches undergraduate courses on environment, race and racism, crisis, and science and technology.

OUR MAN FLINT, the 1966 spy spoof that shook Hollywood, is back under the microscope. Dan and Tom from Cracking the Code of Spy Movies decode this James Coburn classic in their signature style. Released just weeks after THUNDERBALL, this movie punched well above its weight. It spoofed James Bond, "The Man from U.N.C.L.E.", and even drew from vaudeville comedy traditions. The movie's story follows Flint, a brilliant ex-agent pulled back to stop mad scientists bent on world domination through weather control. Highlighted themes in this episode: ·       James Coburn's portrayal of Derek Flint ·       Jerry Goldsmith's iconic score, which blends jazz, electronics, and exotica. He's ahead of his time. Some critics called this score better than anything from the Bond series. ·       ZOWIE, GALAXY, and SPECTRE: the movie directly mocks Bond's spy-agency formula with wit and precision. ·       Austin Powers' DNA traces directly back here — from the harem of women to the multifunction lighter. ·       Vaudeville roots: We uncover surprising comedy traditions hidden in the movie's structure Dan and Tom explore the movie's influences — from Fritz Lang's 1929 Spies to Sherlock Holmes — and trace its legacy through DIE HARD, KINGSMAN, AUSTIN POWERS, and beyond. Whether you're a die-hard spy movie fan or new to the genre, this episode will make you see Flint in a whole new way. This movie was the predecessor to IN LIKE FLINT. Tell us what you think of our decoding of OUR MAN FLINT Have you seen OUR MAN FLINT?  If so, what are your thoughts?  What spoofs did we miss?  If you haven't seen it, does our decoding session make you want to watch it?

Special Assistant to the Head Coach, Bruiser Flint, joins us to talk Arkansas basketball, the Razorbacks' offseason and the new additions to the roster.

After 24-year-old Brianna Vibert disappeared in the early morning hours of July 15, 2017, investigators were tasked with trying to piece together a timeline from scattered surveillance footage, witness statements, and conflicting accounts from the people who had been around her that night. But as the days turned into weeks, and then weeks turned into years, the case only became more complicated.The deeper they looked into the circumstances surrounding Brianna's disappearance, the more questions they uncovered. Timelines overlapped in strange ways, and what social media posts captured in real time seemed to conflict with later statements. Some people who initially appeared cooperative later stopped speaking altogether, while others began making comments that many found deeply unsettling.Family members continued digging, and the case began expanding far beyond the question of who Brianna was last seen with. Concerns about drugs, exploitation, unstable relationships, possible trafficking, and other missing women in the Flint area all started to collide with Brianna's story in ways that became difficult to untangle. And nearly a decade later, many of the same questions still remain unanswered.If you have any information about the disappearance of Brianna Vibert, please contact the Flint Township Police Department at (810) 600-3250 or Crime Stoppers of Flint and Genesee County at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245), visit P3Tips.com, or submit a tip through the P3 Tips mobile app.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Things Discussed: Pre-Show: I came on early to discuss the U.S. Senate's NCAA bill. Proposal: A provision that every game that's broadcast is available for free. You can put it on a streaming network but not behind a paywall. The guys say it's impossible for the people to get anything out of a bill, but I argue this might have enough juice with the public that a senate candidate (we know you're an MGoBlog reader, Abdul) could get some run out of it. Proposal: Michigan Coney Dog Playoff, with Only in Monroe's host as judge. Fun fact: Jim Abbott's dad invented the Flint-style Coney. Fears returns, which was the way to go; he's a college player through and through but a denuded Draft was the time to test his value and jack up his return cost. MSU vs Michigan next year: MSU fixed their frontcourt but have a ceiling in their shooting, Michigan's ceiling is higher but they need big steps from Trey, Cadeau, and someone at the three to offset their frontcourt losses. Cadeau growth potential is real. What we see from Reed (caveat: healthy). Opportunity to grow the threes while he's healing, but the ability to add another 6'10" forward down the stretch makes M an elite D. Football recruiting: Feels like competency. Feels like a Lloyd Carr class juiced by NIL. Some guys are really underrated; Seth likes Xavier Muhammad and Tavares Harrington, who's that tall nickel the defenses running switch coverages want; the football equivalent of giving Dusty May a 6'10" guy at the three. Lundon Hampton is also underrated: Hassan Haskins but Fast. Runs very upright but he's supremely agile and a tackle-breaker with breakaway speed.

Just after midnight on July 15, 2017, 24-year-old Brianna Vibert walked into a Marathon gas station near her home in Flint Township, Michigan. She was visibly upset and had a cut on her arm. The clerk working that night recognized Brianna because she often came into the store. Brianna told him that she had gotten into a fight with her boyfriend and was looking for a ride.A short time later, a man driving a red Pontiac Aztec pulled into the parking lot. According to the clerk, it appeared Brianna didn't know the man, but she asked him for a ride anyway. At first, he declined and drove away. But after leaving, he changed his mind and returned to the gas station to pick her up. Around 1 AM, Brianna left with the man and disappeared into the night.Two days later, on July 17, 2017, Brianna's family reported her missing to the Flint Township Police Department. By then, they had already begun piecing together parts of Brianna's final known movements. They learned about the unknown man in the red Aztec and discovered that, roughly 30 minutes after leaving the gas station, Brianna had contacted a friend she sometimes stayed with after arguments with her boyfriend. Brianna asked if she could spend the night there. The friend agreed, but Brianna never arrived.As investigators retraced Brianna's movements, the case quickly became more complicated. Surveillance footage revealed additional stops after Brianna left the Marathon station. Her belongings later surfaced in strange places. Witness accounts shifted, timelines stopped lining up, and investigators were left trying to determine whether the people surrounding Brianna were withholding information about her disappearance or hiding something else entirely.If you have any information about the disappearance of Brianna Vibert, please contact the Flint Township Police Department at (810) 600-3250 or Crime Stoppers of Flint and Genesee County at 1-800-422-JAIL (5245), visit P3Tips.com, or submit a tip through the P3 Tips mobile app.If you have a missing loved one that you would like to have featured on the show, please fill out our case submission form.Follow The Vanished on social media at:FacebookInstagramPatreonSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
