Bernard and Alex consider today's ruling from the Supreme Court in which Lord Hodge said "The unanimous decision of this court is that the terms 'woman' and 'sex' in the Equality Act 2010 refer to a biological woman and biological sex." "Successive SNP-led Scottish Governments have championed gender reform and opined on the definition of a woman - as did other parties in the Scottish Parliament. Where does this leave them, and do they need to revisit previous policies?"PLUS HAMILTON, LARKHALL AND STONEHOUSEThe By Election date has been set. What challenges will the parties face. It's a real test for Labour before the 2026 Scottish Parliament Election. Will Reform UK perform well?

Bernard and Alex explain and analyse the significance of Donald Trump's international trade tariffs and how it might affect you personally in everything from the cost of goods to your pension. Donald Trump's sweeping global tariff offensive has triggered market turmoil and reignited fears of a full-blown trade war, with the FTSE 100 plummeting and central banks scrambling to respond. Trump's protectionist policies — including steep tariffs on key trading partners such as the EU, UK, China, and Vietnam — are driving up consumer prices, fuelling inflation, and risking a global recession. Despite claims of “economic patriotism”, experts argue these tariffs amount to a form of self-inflicted economic harm, unravelling decades of free trade orthodoxy. Retaliatory tariffs, rising import costs, and disrupted supply chains are hitting exporters hard, with industries from Scotch whisky to fighter jet components feeling the sting. Critics warn this tit-for-tat tariff spiral could destabilise the world economy, weaken Western alliances, and hand geopolitical leverage to China — all in pursuit of a misguided vision of industrial revival. With headlines dominated by market shocks, IMF warnings, and international backlash, Trump's trade war may be remembered as a high-stakes gamble with devastating global consequences.PLUS Scottish Conservatives keep resigning - but for contradictory reasons. Some think the party is too far to the left, others think it is too far to the right. Which is it?Scottish Greens Co-Leader, Patrick Harvie, is set to step down after 17 years. Has he been effective as a politician?Focussing on UK, Scottish and Global politics, if you like other great political podcasts like The Rest is Politics, The News Agents, Newscast, Questions Time, Holyrood Sources, Planet Holyrood, The Stooshie, The Steamie, Scotcast, Americast etc etc then The Ponsonby and Massie Podcast could be a great show to add to your list of favourites.

The data includes the $109 million buyout of Dublin-based software company SoftCo by Keensight Capital, making it the largest FinTech deal in Ireland in 2024. Other notable deals for the period were ones by mobile payment platform CleverCards and CreditLogic, a Dublin-based fintech both raising just over $8.6 million and $3.7 million respectively. But FinTech levels in Ireland was an outlier. Global investment dropped from $119.8 billion across 5,382 deals in 2023 to a seven-year low of $95.6 billion across 4,639 deals in 2024. A perfect storm of factors combined to soften investor appetite, including macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical conflicts and tensions, a year of elections in major jurisdictions, and concerns about valuations and the lack of exits. FinTech investment in EMEA region sinks to $20.3 billion - lowest total since 2016 FinTech investment in the EMEA region fell from $27.6 billion across 1,833 deals in 2023 to just $20.3 billion across 1,465 deals in 2024.

Despite global investment falling to a seven-year low, Ireland's innovative spirit and robust ecosystem have set it apart as a beacon of progress in a challenging economic landscape." Nelson adds, "Early-stage deals are thriving, driven by interest in AI and innovative business models. This growth is even more impressive given the macroeconomic challenges, geopolitical conflicts, and election uncertainties that have dampened investor appetite globally and a testament to the strength and adaptability of our FinTech ecosystem." Focussing on H2'24, Ireland's FinTech sector recorded $97.15 million in M&A, venture capital and private equity transactions across five deals. This reflects a significant increase from the $1.61 million for the same period last year.

Kevin Bardosh, Director and Head of Research at Collateral Global, discusses the pandemic response and the uniformity of viewpoint across the planet in what he calls a “totalising vision” of the COVID-19 pandemic response. Discussing his research that addresses both the conversations around the reaction and the social and political factors that fed into the public health response to the pandemic, Bardosh elaborates on the “industry of fear” where public health had a hand in the fearmongering that took place from 2020 onward. Discussing the need for a heterodox analysis, noting the experiences of many scientists who questioned the public policy at the time, Bardosh articulates how the public policy is tasked with making decisions based on making sense of competing interests while also taking decisions based on specific tradeoffs, a framework he maintains which was “completely tossed out the window” during the Covid-19 pandemic. Criticising the suspension of democratic norms, Bardosh observes that those who promoted lockdown policies despite their exaggeration of the dangers of the virus, their fabrications of modelled Covid deaths and who amplified the benefits of lockdown were almost all unilaterally promoted within their institutions while cementing institutional discourse on lockdown with little to no room for heterodox approaches. Bardosh carefully analyses the historical forces that buttressed institutional reactions to the pandemic, from cultural to political to philosophical notions of freedom, all while questioning what would happen were a pathogen with a higher death rate to emerge today. Focussing on his current research in “public health harm,” Bardosh elucidates how public health's unintended consequences of disruption and harm were dramatic and drastic, classifying the reaction to the 2020 pandemic as an “overreaction.” Bardosh also addresses the quite common human train where individuals in positions of power are reluctant to admit where they got it wrong, referring to the Milgram experiment.

An essential adventure and life skill is the ability to be adaptable. Being adaptable allows us to adjust to change and to keep our cool when we find ourselves in adverse or stressful situations.In 2005, Wells Jones set out to retrace the path of the famous soldier and adventurer TE Lawrence - also known as Lawrence of Arabia. The goal of this trip was to prepare for an acting role.On that trip, Wells and his friend Miles went through 39 border check points, trekked through the desert by camel and dared to go where few westerners were willing to travel in the wake of 9/11. All the while they had to vigilante to avoid being kidnapped.Wells and Miles have recently released a book that they wrote based on this trip called A Line in the Sand.In this episode, Wells shares his philosophy of adventure in a candid and at times deeply personal and intense way as well as key strategies that we can use to increase our adaptability.Key TakeawaysHow we can increase our adaptability:You are More Adaptable Than you Think: All of us are already adapting to many different situations that we may take for granted.Yes, I Can Mindset: When you are faced with a situation that pushes you outside your comfort and challenge zone, and you aren't sure whether you can adapt, it can be really helpful to adopt a mindset where you say to yourself, yes I can do it. Focussing on success instead of failure, and believing in yourself can be the difference makers between adapting to new and challenging situations and potentially overcoming adversity - and giving in.Prepare to Relinquish Control: Adapting to new situations may require you to let go of control. Trying new things requires us to go against status quo bias where we may choose familiar patterns where we feel we have control. This can require us to have an open mind and simply embrace the adventure. Embrace change.Adopt an Adaptable Mindset: An adaptable mindset is one where we embrace even the difficult moments in a way that allows us to find value. Happy people find value in every moment, while unhappy people tend to go looking for problems. To adapt, we need to look for value.Guest BioWells Jones started his career as a US Navy Antarctic Pararescue Team Member. This included precision skydiving, technical training mountain/glacier/crevasse rescue, Antarctic survival, advanced to instructor.Wells went on to graduate from the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York. He has since worked in plays, commercials, TV series and films. His acting name is Tad Jones.In addition to acting, Wells has also worked as a producer and director.In 2005, Wells and his friend Miles Spencer set out to retrace the steps of TE Lawrence through the Middle East. The goal of this trip was to prepare Wells for an acting role.On that trip, Wells and his friend Miles went through 39 border check points, trekked through the desert by camel and dared to go where few westerners were willing to travel in the wake of 9/11.

Part 2 of 2. After another quick overdose of praise for the Detroit Lions(!), this begins by discussing Joe Biden's pardonfest. Focussing on the possible preemptive pass for Dr. Fauci regarding any lab leak coverup, Todd concludes that a pardon *could* be a good thing. Also, Daniel Penny's exoneration brought our disgraced BLM friends back out of their agitprop closet, just in time for Trump's inauguration. Coincidence? Or are we in for another Summer of Black Marxist Violence? Factor in Brian Thomson's public assassination, and how Little Luigi's being explained away and lionized, it's clear where we're headed. Where are the counterrevolutionaries? Will they ever set social media aside and meet the fight outside? Toddzilla's known to be skeptical! Like it? Share it!

A Gluten Free Podcast Episode 156 Body image, diet culture and comparisons of ourselves to others are heavy topics but ones that need to happen. Both adults and our younger generations are exposed to so much information, misinformation and damaging images and videos on social media. Physical and mental health issues are continually on the rise. So, how do we start to engage in having these open, honest and hard conversations with not only our teens and children but everyone? My guest on today's episode is founder of This Is Your Body Nutrition, Angelica Pupillo. We'll talk about body image issues, our relationship with food and our own bodies and how we can effectively and positively approach these conversations with ourselves and others. What we'll cover: * Gel's own body image story & why she's so passionate about her work* Becoming a body image educator and nutritionist * What trends Gel has witnessed around body image issues & food in younger generations * Diet culture, weighing children & other toxic issues around diet & body image we now face as a society * How we can effectively & positively approach these conversations * Focussing on function versus appearance with our younger generation * The links between restrictive diets & eating disorders or disordered eating (particularly in relation to coeliac disease & a gluten free diet) * Mental & physical health impacts of body image issues * Changes Gel would like to see in our approach to body image within society* Gel's work with Embrace Kids through Body Image Movement Links This Is Your Body website Follow Gel on Instagram Use the code GLUTENFREE10 for 10% off Gel's teen lunch box eBookUse code GLUTENFREEPOD10 to get 10% off Gel's 1:1 program, Body Bop, for your teen Gel's book recommendations:Just Eat It - Laura ThomasHow to Raise an Intuitive Eater - Sumner Brooks and Amee SeversonIntuitive Eating - Evelyn Tribole and Elyse ReschGel's social media account recommendations: @bodyimagemovement, @tiffhall_xo, @rhitrition, @nadiafelsch, @breeelenehan, @embracehub, @no.food.rules, @nude_nutritionistJoin our gluten free family Join A Gluten Free Podcast Facebook GroupGet in touchJoin our gluten free family on Instagram or send an email to aglutenfreefamily@gmail.com
It's easy to conclude that we are a violent species. Just look at the state of the world.In a quite brilliant book, Professor Christopher Blattman argues that history books can give a misleading impression: on most days, war doesn't happen.Blattman has read everything. He has talked to the street gangs of Chicago and drug lords in Colombia. He summarises his vast knowledge with five main reasons why going to war - rathe than making peace - seems to happen. Armed (pardon the pun) with this knowledge, policy makers can get better at peace making.But, he warns, most policies are wrong, or likley to be. Grand, big theories of everything are best avoided. He urges a 'marginal' approach, perhaps best described as 'suck it and see'. Take baby steps and prepare to fail. But keep going. Small steps may mean you won't make big mistakes.It's hard to end wars but they always do. It's the terms that matter. It looks like Putin is going to win in Ukraine.Even more seriously, are China and America stuck in the same trap that drove ancient Sparta and Athens to war? That's the famous Thucydides Trap.A truly fabulous discussion. Our thanks to Shane. Become a member at https://plus.acast.com/s/the-other-hand-with-jim.power-and-chris.johns. Hosted on Acast.

Although he's flying high, although he's a successful freelancer, and frankly, he's just killing it in the game.

Melisa Rollins was born to race the Leadville 100; although if you had asked her in highschool if this was true, she would have disagreed. Melisa's parents have been racing the Leadville 100 MTB since she was just a year old, so the race runs deep in her blood. She herself has started the race seven times, and crossed the finish line 7 times, including in 2024 where she won the elite women's race. Melisa also completed the Lead Challenge in 2018, a series of 5 races in Leadville including both the 100 MTB and 100 Run races. A feat that most of us find hard just to wrap our heads around! Focussing on the bike, Melisa signed with Team Twenty24 in 2021 right after racing the Leadville 100 MTB that year, with a dream that she would one day come back and win the race. Supported by her team, Melisa raced in the Life Time Grand Prix in 2022, but stepped away for the 2023 season to focus on gaining race experience on the road circuit with her team. This has paid off for Melisa in dividends as she has returned to the Grand Prix in 2024. Following her win in Leadville this year, Melisa finished 9th at Chequamegon this past weekend and plans on finishing the season strong with two more events remaining in the Grand Prix.

Evacuee Cinema: Bombay and Lahore in Partition Transit, 1940–1960 (Cambridge UP, 2022) offers a new history of the partition. Based on previously unexamined archives and rare films, it investigates key questions around film production, partition and the provenance of the nation in South Asia: How did partition transform the dynamic and transcultural film industry of undivided India? What has been the relationship between Pakistani and Indian Cinema? Could the cinematic rendition of Pakistan have preceded its territorial realisation? Focussing on the unravelling of artistic and economic ties between two formerly intimate film cities of colonial India, Bombay and Lahore, this book follows their transition into the nationally discrete production centres of independent India and Pakistan. Pursuing inflections, migrations and shifts across national lines, Evacuee Cinema explains how filmmaking interpreted national danger and examines the expulsion and rehabilitation that went into the making of ‘Indian' and ‘Pakistani' cinema. Dr Salma Siddique is research faculty at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, specializing in South Asian popular cinema, Islamicate screen cultures and immigrant media. Her research has been published in Feminist Media Histories, Third Text, and Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. She is a core editor at BioScope: South Asian Screen Studies, published by Sage. Priyam Sinha recently graduated with a PhD from the South Asian Studies Programme at the National University of Singapore. Her interdisciplinary academic interests lie at the intersection of social media and internet studies, platforms and film studies, disability studies, production cultures, affect studies, creative media industries and cultural studies.

What has been the relationship between Pakistani and Indian Cinema? Could the cinematic rendition of Pakistan have preceded its territorial realisation? Focussing on the unravelling of artistic and economic ties between two formerly intimate film cities of colonial India, Bombay and Lahore, this book follows their transition into the nationally discrete production centres of independent India and Pakistan. Pursuing inflections, migrations and shifts across national lines, Evacuee Cinema explains how filmmaking interpreted national danger and examines the expulsion and rehabilitation that went into the making of ‘Indian' and ‘Pakistani' cinema. Dr Salma Siddique is research faculty at Humboldt Universität zu Berlin, specializing in South Asian popular cinema, Islamicate screen cultures and immigrant media. Her research has been published in Feminist Media Histories, Third Text, and Comparative Studies of South Asia, Africa and the Middle East. She is a core editor at BioScope: South Asian Screen Studies, published by Sage.

In this interview, Jack Wilson, historian of the Mongol Empire and PhD candidate at Central European University discusses his current research into the Mongol invasions of Hungary in the thirteenth century.Focussing on the lesser known Mongol invasion of Hungary in the 1280s, and viewing this from the perspective of the Mongols, Jack's research considers the likely reasons for the invasion. His analysis shows that the Mongol motivations were closely linked to internal power struggles and dynastic conflicts within the Golden Horde, and changing climatic conditions in their home steppe-land. Jack's analysis also implies that the invasion was not for conquest, but for loot and slaves, and to enhance the reputation a leading contender within their internal power struggles. Jack also demonstrates how the Mongolian elite viewed the world and the place of themselves and their vast empire within it.This podcast is part of a series of interviews covering central Europe in the medieval period for MECERN and CEU Medieval Studies.

Life doesn't always go the way we want it to. We wish it did, but it just doesn't. Things happen that aren't fair. Stresses and strains come along that we wouldn't have chosen for ourselves and so what we need in those times is powerful godly wisdom. Wisdom that works. Wisdom for Your Life We know, you and I, that our days on this earth are numbered. We know that one day, we're going to breathe our last breath. We know that one day, our heart will stop beating and that will be it, for our time here. We know that, but mostly, we behave as though we're going to live for ever. Somehow we put the idea that we're going to die, out of our mind and we live mostly, for today. The things of today, tomorrow and perhaps next week are what occupy our minds. As a former soldier, I like the expression “down in the weeds” – it's this sense that you can't see the big picture, because you're, well, down in the weeds. Having navigated through many a swamp in my days in the military, it's something I really relate to. Because when you're down there, you can't easily stick your head up and look around. So, the cares and the pressures of this world take over, and it feels as though all that matters is what's going on right now. The problems, the hurts, the conflicts, the joys, the pleasures that we have going on, right now. But I believe God wants us to stick our heads up and get a sense of the big picture. Because when you take a look at the big picture of your life, it puts today into context. Maybe the things that we have going on right now aren't all there is. Maybe, they're a lot smaller, a lot less significant, in the bigger scheme of things. Psalm 90:9,10: The days of our life are seventy years, or perhaps eighty, if we are strong; even then their span is only toil and trouble; they are soon gone, and we fly away. That's the truth of the matter. That's what's going to happen. SO what God wants you to do today is to stand back and look at the things that are happening in your life today, in context: Psalm 90:12: So teach us to count our days that we may gain a wise heart. Hmm, what's He trying to say here? Quite simply this: count your days, they're limited. If I live to the average age for a male which is 82, I have just 25 birthdays left. That's around 9,125 days – under 10,000. In one way, that's not all that many. From another perspective, it's rather a lot. What I am I going to do with the days that I have left? What are you going to do with the days you have left? Will they count? Will the lives of the people around you be better for having known you? You start asking those sorts of questions, and you're lifting your head out of the weeds. You start asking those sort of questions, you'll develop some serious wisdom of the heart. A funny thing happens when you lift up your eyes from the day to day. I have a beautiful park near my place, where I often go walking. I realised one day, that I constantly had my eyes looking down at the path ahead. Day after day. So I decided instead, that I would look around. And you know, it opened up a whole new world of beauty and joy. We tend to walk through life like that, looking down at our circumstances. Looking down and seeing the problems. Focussing on the here and now, don't we. At a time when Israel had spent seventy years as slaves, in captivity in Babylon, at a time when all God's people could see was a lifetime of toil, God said this to them: Isaiah 40:26: Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who created these? He who brings out their host and numbers them, calling them all by name; because he is great in strength, mighty in power, not one is missing. God wanted them to lift there eyes up out of their misery, out of their sense of lostness and of slavery, to focus on Him, on His power, on what He can do for them. He goes on … Isaiah 40:27–13: Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, “My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God”? Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. I wonder if perhaps today, you feel faint and weary and powerless. I wonder if perhaps today you feel exhausted. If you do, then lift up your eyes and see this God who put all the stars, the trillions upon trillions of stars in their place. The God who created the whole universe. The God who wants to renew your strength so that you too will mount up with wings like eagles, so that you to can run and not grow weary, walk and not grow faint. Lift up your eyes today and wait expectantly on God – that's what the original Hebrew word there means – to wait expectantly, hoping in Him, trusting in Him … then you will be laying hold of the might and the power, the love and the compassion of God for you, in your circumstances. In your life. Isn't it amazing the wisdom that God has ready and waiting for us, if only we'll look, if only we'll listen, hmm?! But wait, there's more! The reality for all of us, is that we lose sight of God amidst the busyness of life, just the day–to–day living life – who He is, His love for us, His incredible power for. Yep, we all lose sight of heavenly things, the spiritual dimension. A dear friend and former business partner of mine, used to say that in understanding any difficult issue, any problem in life, context is everything – almost. He was right. If you take a scripture verse out of context, you can turn it into a lie – that's exactly what the devil did in tempting Jesus (Luke Chapter 4). And he's still doing it today. If you don't take the time to understand the reasons behind a person's actions, chances are, you'll completely misunderstand them. And, you know, if we don't get a grip on the heavenly context, the eternal context, the spiritual context of our lives, we're going to make so many mistakes. Wisdom is about exercising good judgement. Wisdom is about taking our knowledge and experience, and making good decisions. But when you leave something out, if you miss part of the picture, you can't be wise. You can't make good decisions. And that's what happens when we forget the heavenly context of our lives. Colossians 3:1–4: So if you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. How much time do you spend seeking the things that are above, the heavenly things? Setting your mind on the things that are above, not always on the things that are on this earth. Here's the big picture. Jesus died for you and if you believe in Him then your very life is tucked away in God with Christ. And one day, that life will be revealed in glory with Him. Imagine just for a moment, if that became the overriding reality of your life. The context for all that you see and do, for everything that happens to you. Imagine how different the world would look. Imagine the strength and the power that you would lay hold of in dealing with your trials and temptations. Imagine, just imagine, the joy and the peace that would guard your heart, as each day, you set your heart and mind on the things that are above. Well, stop imagining and start doing. Because the Lord your God has a whole new dimension of wisdom for your life, as you set your focus, on the things that are above. Wisdom Amidst Turmoil How much of each day do you spend, investing in tomorrow. Just as with money, there are two things that we can do with our time. We can spend it or we can invest it. There's good spending, and then there's wasting. It's the same with our time. We can spend our time on good things – on relationships, on work, on rest – or we can fritter it away on this and that, answer emails that don't need answering, endlessly scrolling through Facebook or whatever form of social media you happen to be addicted to at the moment. So, how much time to you invest in your future? Because there are things that you can do today, that will protect you tomorrow. Proverbs 1:20–22: Wisdom cries out in the street; in the squares she raises her voice. At the busiest corner she cries out; at the entrance of the city gates she speaks: “How long, O simple ones, will you love being simple? How long will scoffers delight in their scoffing and fools hate knowledge?” In other words, God's wisdom is crying out to you, here and now. His Word is choc–a–block full of His wisdom that He wants to give freely and generously to each of us. But all too often, we're too busy to receive it – frittering our time away as we so often do. There was a huge research project done by the Center of Bible Engagement in the US, asking Christians why they didn't read their Bibles. The number one reason, it won't surprise you, is that they didn't have the time. Really? Too busy … but time to watch the fifth rerun of their favourite sitcom on TV! Come on! There's a reason that God wants to give you His wisdom: Proverbs 1:24–28: Because I have called and you refused, have stretched out my hand and no one heeded, and because you have ignored all my counsel … I also will laugh at your calamity; I will mock when panic strikes you, when panic strikes you like a storm, and your calamity comes like a whirlwind, when distress and anguish come upon you. Then they will call upon me, but I will not answer; they will seek me diligently, but will not find me. You see when disaster strikes, it's too late. The time to get God's wisdom into your heart is now while the going is good, before the turmoil strikes. It's about investing in the future. Or … are you too busy? God loves you more than words can say. And like any good father, He wants to impart His powerful wisdom into your life. He knows what's coming. He knows what you need. And He has given you His Word, and His Holy Spirit to pour out His wisdom in abundance. And here is one of the pieces of wisdom that I believe that God wants to tuck away in your heart, for when calamity strikes. Often when we're going through difficult times, God intervenes in ways that we simply don't expect. We expect a conventional intervention. He on the other hand, steps in, in an unconventional way. We expect a natural intervention, but He has something supernatural in mind. And that can be so unsettling, so fearful. God wants you to be ready for the unexpected. Israel had been in captivity in Babylon for seventy years and it was time for God to set them free and return them to the promised land. Sure, that's what they all wanted, but when God stepped in, it wasn't what they expected. Instead of just changing the King of Babylon's heart – which would have been so much more convenient – He raised up Cyrus, the King of Persia to take on the Babylonians in war and ultimately it was Cyrus as the victor in that war, who allowed God's people to return to the promised land. Now, we can sit back in the comfort of our armchairs and think to ourselves “Well, that's fine. At least they made it home again.” But put yourself in their shoes. They were slaves. Completely powerless. And a war is raging around them. That's pretty scary. But before the battle begins, God speaks to His people through the prophet Isaiah. You see, God always wants to give us His wisdom before the battle begins. Before the calamity strikes. Isaiah 41:2 Who has roused a victor from the east, summoned him to his service? He delivers up nations to him, and tramples kings under foot; he makes them like dust with his sword, like driven stubble with his bow. In other words, I'm behind this calamity. I have the power to raise up kings and cast them down. Isaiah 41:8–13: But you, Israel, my servant, Jacob, whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, my friend; you whom I took from the ends of the earth, and called from its farthest corners, saying to you, “You are my servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off”; do not fear, for I am with you, do not be afraid, for I am your God; I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with my victorious right hand. So don't be afraid, God is saying, because I am on your side? Do you see how important it is to get this sort of wisdom into your heart before calamity strikes, before God intervenes in a situation in a way that you don't expect? Often, when God is up to something really good, things get worse before they get better. And without the Word of God, without the wisdom of God in your heart, you'll have no idea. God is on your side so don't be surprised, don't be alarmed, when He acts in a way that you didn't expect. Now, whilst sometimes God intervenes in our turmoil to bring peace, other times, He has something different in mind. Have you ever found yourself in a situation of uncertainty, of turmoil or conflict or fear … and no matter how much you prayer, God hasn't stepped in to change your situation? It's unsettling isn't it, because we're left wondering “Well, is God ever going to show up? Does God even care?” But you see whilst sometimes God calms the storm, other times He allows it to rage on so that He can calm your heart instead. Because having victory in the midst of turmoil is a beautiful gift that He wants you to have. Philippians 4:4–7: Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, Rejoice. Let your gentleness be known to everyone. The Lord is near. Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Now that's a nice theory I guess, but it becomes so much more than a theory, when you realise that the Apostle Paul wrote those words, chained to a Roman guard, in a dungeon awaiting execution. Now all of a sudden it becomes a shining light, a beacon if you will, in your dungeon and mine, when we're going through tumultuous times. Joy in the face of suffering is victory. Peace which surpasses all understanding, in the face of a death sentence, is victory. It's the same peace that Jesus had in the Garden of Gethsemane after He prayed. And it's the very same peace that God wants you to have, in the midst of your turmoil and trials. In many cases, we will never know or understand, at least not in this life, why God allows us to suffer and another person to be delivered. Or why last time He delivered us quickly whilst this time it seems to be going on and on. When Job asked God those questions from the midst of his suffering, God replied pretty firmly by saying “Well, actually Job, it's none of your business.” God is, after all, God. But I can tell you this: that God wants you to have victory in the midst of your turmoil. That's a piece of wisdom that the Holy Spirit will tuck away in your heart, and pull out the next time you need it. So that instead of worrying and fretting, you go to Him with thanksgiving in your heart, right in the middle of the turmoil, pour out your heart to Him and receive the promise of a peace beyond all understanding, a peace that in natural terms doesn't make sense, a supernatural peace that will guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus. What a gift. And by the Spirit, it's a gift that has been written on your heart today. The Big Picture It's so easy when we're going through turmoil to lose sight of the big picture. To lose sight of the eternal picture. And that eternal picture if we can just grasp it in our hearts, can change the way we feel about today, the way we handle turmoil and stress, and indeed the whole way that we live our lives. Because God has such an amazing future planned for you and for me. It's a future that Jesus died to purchase for us on that cross. It's a future that He rose again to give us, so that we could have the gift of eternal life. 1 Corinthians 15:54–58: When this perishable body puts on imperishability, and this mortal body puts on immortality, then the saying that is written will be fulfilled: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.” “Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?” The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved, be steadfast, immovable, always excelling in the work of the Lord, because you know that in the Lord your labour is not in vain. You see, the eternal future that's coming your way is meant to make a powerful difference to the way that you live your life. Therefore, be steadfast and immovable. Therefore, because of the eternity that's coming your way, excel in the work of the Lord because you know that it's not in vain. Death will be swallowed up. The sting of death will be gone because of the victory that you have through your faith in Jesus Christ. It's free. It's available here and now and it's a victory that will impact your life from this day forward. It's so incredibly sad that so many people worry about their futures, when in fact, in Christ, their future is absolutely secure. So many people believe in Jesus, they believe that they're saved, yet they don't let that faith impact the certainty with which they live their life. The hope with which they live.

I know this is a weird introduction, but the other night I watched Atlas with Jennifer Lopez. In the movie, there were AI robots. A couple of kinds. The one that saved her was the one that she had to simulate her mind with the Robot Smith. It took her all she could to do that final 100% sharing of her feelings. The key to her survival. I believe sinking with ourselves is just that. And this is where Ana's story intrigued me to how it related to finding yourself. JLo found herself through a robot asking her to fully engage her mind to help them both work together for him to help her survive. The truth is, WE need to synch with ourselves to survive.The key to our survival is knowing what is in our hearts. Ana shared her intimate story, and at that moment she said "I shared with my cousin I was bulimic. She was the first person I told" I cried. I cried because I know the emotions of "coming out".Ana turned her life around by finding what is in her heart, her passion, and her MISSION. She is now a Spiritual Coach. With the help of Reiki and Card Reading, she helps those who struggle with eating disorders to find the same path of recovery she did. And what is important is her Clients know she is speaking from the heart because she traveled that journey and recovered.Ana says it's about opening up the heart and sharing. It sounds easy, but it's not. Trust is required. It is why she opens her heart to her Clients so they know being vulnerable is the best way to be and that she can be trusted because she has been there.Ana's story is beautiful. Sad, caring, and about learning that everything happens for a reason. Her's is to serve, and help those who need to reach out and heal. The Magic In Healing. I am sure that will be a beautiful Podcast and book someday. In the interim, you can reach Ana on Instagram here... @TheMagicinHealing I appreciate Ana's honesty and her compassion for helping others recover. I hope that this podcast speaks to my listeners as it did to me when speaking with Ana.Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!Start for FREEBE A GUEST/FIND A GUEST Start for Free!PODMATCH is innovative, provides easy communication and dashboard scheduling!

In this episode, we spotlight the journey and insights of Mehdi Kordi. With a rich and varied background, from biomedical science, to aerospace physiology, to accountancy, to mice in the Andes (yes you heard me correctly), then ultimately into a career in sports science and eventually coaching at the elite end of cycling. First Mehdi was at British Cycling as the sports scientist and hen coach at British Cycling, working with the Para team to Tokyo Games. Then Mehdi moved onto the Dutch National Cycling Federation and is currently creating outstanding success, in his role success as Head Coach (Track Sprint). When I say outstanding success, Mehdi truly encapsulates getting bang for the buck, that is in sports like cycling a mix of technology and human performance, generally the more money yoo put in the better your results. Mehdi and his small team have created disproportionate success by focusing on what matters most. Think ‘Massive Gains' rather than ‘Marginal Gains'. Mehdi's experiences offer a rare glimpse into the high-performance delivered with imagination, creativity, priority and constraints led innovation. So, irrespective of whether you like cycling or not, and if you do there is some juicy detail about riding a kilometer very fast, Mehdi's insights are more about a way of thinking and working, that breaks the mould, of more is better, that could be applied to a range of systems, teams and pursuits.

Focussing on Paul's vision for family and community in the context of Ephesus, this is an opportunity to push back on the individualism that dominates in our city and means that although surrounded by millions, people increasingly feel isolated and alone. How do we draw people into the Kingdom community in the midst of this?
Contemporary Arab art doesn't always get the attention it deserves or needs. Alia Al-Senussi — cultural strategist and arts affairs advisor — talks to us about the power that museums hold in informing and shaping cultures, forgiving and healing from the pasts, and building resilient economies. Focussing on Saudi Arabia's cultural revolution in motion, she explains why everyone seems to be obsessed with the so-called “creative economy” and how her own relationship with art started as a tourist, delineating between modern and contemporary art. Finally, she highlights the critical role that artists and their art play as “interpreters of our time” and the difficulties of building private and public collections, and shares her “playbook” for building a successful cultural institution. For art lovers and curious minds alike, Alia also shares her favorite museums, cultural institutions and galleries, and communities from across the region as well as her favourite North African artists. Alia Al-Senussi is a cultural strategist and art world affairs advisor with nearly 20 years of experience in the field. She works with cultural organisations across the world to support the creative sector. She is Art Basel's UK and MENA representative and advisor for the Milken Institute of Arts and Culture, and has previously been chair of the Tate Young Patrons, founding member of the Tate's Acquisitions Committee for the Middle East and North Africa, and the board of Patrons of Art Dubai.THIS SERIES IS PART OF THE AFIKRA PODCAST NETWORKThe afikra Podcast is our flagship series featuring experts from academia, art, media and beyond who are helping document and/or shape the histories and cultures of the Arab world through their work.

Working from home is also a double-edged sword for parents, who can find themselves taking on a disproportionate share of household and child care responsibilities on top of their paid work. The effect is more pronounced for parents whose partners work outside the home, and for moms, who still do the majority of child care in American families._____If you or anyone you know is struggling with addiction, depression, trauma, sexual abuse or feeling overwhelmed, we've compiled a list of resources at secretlifepodcast.com______To share your secret and be a guest on the show email secretlifepodcast@icloud.com_____SECRET LIFE'S TOPICS INCLUDE:addiction recovery, mental health, alcoholism, drug addiction, sex addiction, love addiction, OCD, ADHD, dyslexia, eating disorders, debt & money issues, anorexia, depression, shoplifting, molestation, sexual assault, trauma, relationships, self-love, friendships, community, secrets, self-care, courage, freedom, and happiness._____Create and Host Your Podcast with the same host we use - RedCircle_____Get your copy of SECRET LIFE OF A HOLLYWOOD SEX & LOVE ADDICT -- Secret Life Novel or on Amazon______HOW CAN I SUPPORT THE SHOW?Tell Your Friends & Share Online!Follow, Rate & Review: Apple Podcasts | SpotifyFollow & Listen iHeart | Stitcher | Google Podcasts | Amazon | PandoraSpread the word via social mediaInstagramTwitterFacebook#SecretLifePodcastDonate - You can also support the show with a one-time or monthly donation via PayPal (make payment to secretlifepodcast@icloud.com) or at our WEBSITE.Connect with Brianne Davis-Gantt (@thebriannedavis)Official WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterConnect with Mark Gantt (@markgantt)Main WebsiteDirecting WebsiteInstagramFacebookTwitterAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
