THE ATOMIC BOMB AND POST-WAR LEADERSHIP Colleague Craig Symonds. Nimitz and King believed a naval blockade could force Japan's surrender without a costly invasion, which they feared would result in millions of deaths. Nimitz was informed early about the atomic bomb to ensure it wouldn't interfere with operations. After the war, despite resistance from the aviation community and Secretary Forrestal, Nimitz served a two-year term as Chief of Naval Operations. Spruance, denied a fifth star in favor of Halsey, took the high road by leading the Naval War College, ensuring future officers learned from the Pacific war's lessons.

Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Read more about Project23 and partner with us as we teach every verse of the Bible on video. Our text today is Judges 18:25-29. And the people of Dan said to him, "Do not let your voice be heard among us, lest angry fellows fall upon you, and you lose your life with the lives of your household." Then the people of Dan went their way. And when Micah saw that they were too strong for him, he turned and went back to his home. But the people of Dan took what Micah had made, and the priest who belonged to him, and they came to Laish, to a people quiet and unsuspecting, and struck them with the edge of the sword and burned the city with fire. And there was no deliverer because it was far from Sidon, and they had no dealings with anyone. It was in the valley that belongs to Beth-rehob. Then they rebuilt the city and lived in it. And they named the city Dan, after the name of Dan their ancestor, who was born to Israel; but the name of the city was Laish at the first. — Judges 18:25-29 The Danites finally get what they wanted—a city, a priest, and a name. From the outside, it looks like triumph. But it's all built on theft and deceit. They conquered Laish not through faith, but through force. God never told them to take this land. They took it because it was easy. They called it "God's will," but it was just willpower. That's how sin disguises itself: it borrows the language of faith to bless the work of the flesh. The Danites built a city on the illusion of success. But anything built on disobedience will eventually collapse. We have all done this: We push instead of pray. We manipulate instead of trusting. We use strength, strategy, and spin to get what we want—and then call it God's blessing. But real victory never comes by force. It comes by faith. Faith waits when force demands. Faith obeys when ambition rushes. Faith surrenders when pride insists. The tribe of Dan won a city—but lost its way. Don't lose your way, do things God's way. ASK THIS: Where have you been pushing by force instead of walking by faith? Have you ever mistaken human success for God's blessing? What would it look like to stop striving and start trusting? How can you rebuild what's been done your way, God's way? DO THIS: Pause before your next decision—ask, "Am I forcing this, or is God leading it?" Read Psalm 127:1: "Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain." PRAY THIS: Lord, keep me from building by force what You've called me to build by faith. I don't want hollow victories or false success—only what's done in Your strength and truth. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Wait On You."

« La nouvelle loi algérienne qui criminalise la colonisation française a plus une portée symbolique qu'un impact juridique ou financier », affirme l'historien français Benjamin Stora. Ce mercredi, à Alger, les députés algériens ont voté à l'unanimité une loi réclamant « des excuses officielles » de la part de la France. Ils ont même précisé que ces excuses étaient le préalable à toute réconciliation mémorielle. Benjamin Stora, qui co-préside une commission mixte d'historiens français et algériens, et qui vient de publier avec Thomas Snégaroff France / Algérie - Anatomie d'une déchirure aux éditions Les Arènes, répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier.  RFI : Sur le plan politique, l'Algérie demande aujourd'hui à la France des excuses officielles. Est-ce que vous voyez Emmanuel Macron présenter des excuses ? Benjamin Stora : Maintenant non. La question des excuses devait être l'aboutissement d'un travail mémoriel qui a commencé, fondamentalement, depuis quelques années, notamment à partir de mon rapport de 2021. Il s'agissait de la mise en œuvre d'un chantier mémoriel qui visait précisément, pourquoi pas, à aboutir à des excuses. Mais ce chantier mémoriel s'est brusquement interrompu depuis maintenant presque deux ans. Donc la question des excuses devait être un aboutissement à, disons, une connaissance beaucoup plus grande de ce qui s'était passé dans toute cette histoire qui a duré 132 ans. Or, aujourd'hui, je vois mal la question des excuses se poser à nouveau du côté français. Notamment avec la montée de l'extrême droite française. Non ? Tout à fait. C'est-à-dire que l'extrême droite ne reconnaît absolument pas les exactions commises, les massacres, etc. Fondamentalement par anti-gaullisme, d'ailleurs. Il y a dans cette montée en puissance de l'extrême droite française la volonté de désigner l'Algérie comme un pays avec lequel on ne peut décidément pas s'entendre. Sur le plan juridique, la nouvelle loi algérienne affirme que les crimes de la colonisation sont imprescriptibles. Est-ce que ce n'est pas contradictoire avec les accords d'Évian de 1962 ? Oui, il y a effectivement un problème. Ces accords ont été signés par les deux parties. La partie française, bien sûr, mais aussi par la partie algérienne. Les accords d'Évian stipulaient de manière très claire qu'aucune poursuite pénale ne devait être engagée contre les exactions commises pendant la guerre d'Algérie. Alors maintenant, bien entendu, le texte adopté par les Algériens est bien plus une volonté de démonstration symbolique et politique plutôt qu'une concrétisation sur le plan juridique. Le texte voté mercredi 24 décembre ? Bien sûr. Le texte qui a été voté est, pour moi, une mise en œuvre d'un rapport de force symbolique, plutôt qu'une stricte application sur le plan juridique. Alors, vous dites que ce nouveau texte est en grande partie symbolique, mais sur le plan financier, les députés algériens demandent « une indemnisation complète et équitable » pour tous les dommages commis par la France. Est-ce qu'un tribunal international pourrait se déclarer compétent ? Pas à ma connaissance. Il s'agit là d'une revendication qui n'avait jamais été exprimée auparavant par les Algériens. La question de la réparation financière, c'est une nouveauté qui est apparue dans ce texte. C'est effectivement une revendication, une demande, dont on se demande quel peut être le « chiffrage » entre guillemets. Encore une fois, je pense qu'il s'agit essentiellement d'une mesure à caractère politique et symbolique. Sur le plan militaire, l'Algérie demande les cartes précises des essais nucléaires réalisés par la France au Sahara dans les années 60, afin de pouvoir décontaminer ces territoires. Est-ce que la France peut faire un geste dans ce sens ? Des experts français, qui travaillent sur la question des essais nucléaires, ont demandé plusieurs fois à se rendre sur place. Ils demandent qu'une commission internationale puisse vérifier, et se rendre compte sur place, des effets néfastes de ces essais nucléaires sur les populations civiles. Or, à ma connaissance, pour l'instant, il n'y a pas eu de délégation d'experts internationaux qui ont pu se rendre dans le désert saharien pour voir les effets des contamination sur les populations civiles. Dans la nouvelle loi algérienne, il est dit que le préalable à toute réconciliation mémorielle sont des excuses officielles de la France. Peut-on dire que, si la France ne s'excuse pas, la commission mixte franco-algérienne que vous présidez avec votre homologue algérien, Mohamed Lahcen Zeghidi, va disparaître ? Je ne sais pas. Je ne sais pas quel sera l'avenir de cette commission. Ce que je peux dire, c'est que la collaboration réelle et le partage du savoir et des connaissances ne pourront pas s'interrompre. Et c'est pour moi quelque chose d'essentiel, parce que les jeunes générations d'aujourd'hui, en France et en Algérie, ont une soif de connaissance et de savoir très grande sur cette histoire. Donc la mise en partage, la mise en circulation des savoirs et des connaissances ne pourra pas s'interrompre. Enfin, c'est tout du mins ce que j'espère pour l'avenir : que les choses pourront se poursuivre à ce niveau-là. Quelle est la dernière fois que vous avez vu votre homologue Mohamed Lahcen Zeghidi ? Quelle est la dernière fois que votre commission mixte s'est réunie ? Elle s'est réunie la dernière fois en mai 2024. Deux mois avant la reconnaissance de la marocanité du Sahara par la France ? Tout à fait.   À lire aussiBenjamin Stora: «Il faut commencer à procéder à des restitutions des archives algériennes»

Les États-Unis ont conduit une opération militaire ces dernières heures contre des combattants du groupe EI dans le nord-ouest du Nigeria. Le président américain a promis de nouvelles attaques si l'organisation jihadiste continue le « massacre de chrétiens » dans le pays. Le commandement américain en Afrique a précisé sur X qu'il avait frappé « à la demande des autorités nigérianes ». Quel message Donald Trump envoie au monde et à ses partenaires africains ? L'analyse de Jérôme Viala-Godefroy, chargé de cours à Sciences-Po Saint-Germain-en-Laye, auteur de Les mots de Trump publié aux éditions Dalloz. RFI : Donald Trump assure avoir mené des frappes meurtrières contre le groupe EI au Nigeria ces dernières heures. Des frappes confirmées par les autorités du pays qui assurent avoir fourni du renseignement. Le président américain menace de nouvelles attaques si les terroristes continuent, selon lui, « le massacre de chrétiens ». S'il est important d'en parler aujourd'hui, c'est qu'il s'agit de la toute première intervention de Washington dans le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique. Quels intérêts ont les États-Unis à mener de telles frappes sur le territoire nigérian ? Jérôme Viala-Godefroy : L'intérêt stratégique pour Washington, c'est de montrer qu'ils gardent une capacité d'action en Afrique. Il y a une sorte de compétition d'influence, notamment avec la Chine. C'est une manière de montrer qu'il y a une crédibilité de l'Africom, le commandement américain pour l'Afrique. C'est d'ailleurs l'Africom qui a confirmé ces frappes en coordination avec les autorités nigérianes. L'idée, c'est de se positionner par rapport à la Chine dans la région ? C'est l'un des aspects. Évidemment, il y a aussi un aspect de politique intérieure, toujours présent chez Donald Trump. Il s'agit de montrer, là aussi, qu'il y a une vraie force, de démontrer la puissance américaine. On reviendra sur l'impact au niveau de la politique intérieure américaine. Mais, d'abord, concernant le continent africain, quel message Donald Trump envoie-t-il, au-delà de la Chine ? Il envoie deux messages. Aux groupes armés, il dit qu'il peut frapper, même loin. Il montre aussi qu'il y a une coordination et qu'il a des gouvernements avec lui. Alors évidemment, le revers, c'est que tout cela se passe en dehors de toutes normes internationales. C'est, encore une fois, une expression de la force qui se situe en dehors de tout cadre légal international. Au niveau de la politique intérieure américaine, on sait qu'il y a les élections de mi-mandat dans moins d'un an aux États-Unis. Est-ce une manière de ramener l'opinion publique dans son camp ? Ces frappes surviennent le jour de Noël. Essaie-t-il de convaincre peut-être la communauté chrétienne ? Comme il l'a dit, il s'agit de réagir face aux « massacres de chrétiens ». Il fait donc un récit de ce qui se passe au Nigeria en des termes purement moraux et religieux. Alors que ce sont des questions inter-ethniques ou inter-religieuses, mais que les massacres ne se limitent pas aux chrétiens – ce que dit aussi le gouvernement nigérian, qui s'est éloigné de ce qu'affirme Donald Trump sur cette histoire. Pour Donald Trump, il s'agit de montrer son autorité et surtout de consolider une base électorale qui valorise la fermeté et la défense des chrétiens. Cela peut aussi polariser l'opinion publique américaine. Comment anticiper la réaction potentielle de l'opposition vis-à-vis des frappes ? Les questions internationales ne sont pas forcément essentielles aux États-Unis au sein de l'électorat. Ce que l'on voit, c'est que cela peut diviser le camp « Make America Great Again » (MAGA), le camp républicain. L'électorat de Donald Trump souhaite que l'administration s'occupe d'abord de ce qui se passe chez eux, notamment concernant l'économie. Et non de risquer de se retrouver dans des conflits extérieurs. C'était la compréhension qu'ils avaient de « America First » (l'Amérique d'abord, en français). Donald Trump, lui, en a une autre conception durant son second mandat. À quelle figure pensez-vous ? Qui pourrait être divisé sur cette intervention extérieure au sein du camp MAGA ? Quelqu'un comme Marjorie Taylor Greene par exemple, qui s'est opposée à Donald Trump sur l'affaire Epstein, a commencé à critiquer le gouvernement au moment des frappes sur l'Iran au printemps dernier. On a déjà vu d'importantes critiques d'un certain nombre d'élus et d'influenceurs – je pense aussi à Tucker Carlson –, des gens qui ne veulent pas de guerre, qui ne veulent pas qu'il y ait une implication et qui pensent que l'Amérique doit se concentrer sur elle-même. Avec Donald Trump, on a l'impression que c'est « un jour avec, un jour sans ». C'est-à-dire qu'une semaine il va tenter de faire des accords de paix et d'intervenir dans une partie du monde pour « apporter la paix » et l'autre semaine, il va bombarder. On ne sait réellement sur quel pied il danse, finalement. Il est beaucoup en réaction à ce qui se passe. Il s'agit d'avoir des opportunités qui lui semblent intéressantes d'un point de vue politique et pour son image. Ce qui importe à Donald Trump, c'est de montrer qu'il est fort, qu'il réagit et qu'il est le « dealmaker », qu'il sait faire des deals. Ces deals sont parfois à la surface des choses, n'entrent pas dans les détails, mais lui permettent de vendre aussi un récit de force. Le récit de quelqu'un qui sait obtenir des accords avec n'importe quel pays, dont la seule morale c'est l'intérêt, dit-il, des États-Unis. Souvent l'intérêt de ses propres affaires, aussi. Vous dites qu'il cherche à montrer sa puissance. On le voit bien puisqu'il y a quelques mois, il disait justement du gouvernement nigérian qu'il l'estimait responsable de ce prétendu « massacre des chrétiens ». Quelques semaines plus tard, il semble avoir réussi à leur tordre le bras, à les convaincre, car le gouvernement nigérian est impliqué et a soutenu cette offensive américaine. Ce qui montre toute sa puissance, encore une fois. Exactement. C'est ce qu'il cherche à faire. Montrer que, grâce à la puissance américaine, il peut obliger et convaincre des gouvernements, même si ce n'est pas forcément populaire auprès de leurs populations. Il a cette capacité de forcer des gouvernements à réagir comme il le veut. C'est important pour lui, pour vendre cette idée qu'il peut faire ce qu'il veut dans le monde. Avec l'idée que maintenant c'est la force et la puissance qui sont les critères essentiels dans ce monde nouveau, en dehors de tout cadre d'ailleurs international. Les États-Unis ont frappé des cellules du groupe EI en Syrie récemment. Donald Trump affirme ne pas exclure de mener d'autres frappes, en tout cas sur le territoire nigérian. Doit-on prendre au sérieux ces menaces ? Pour ce qui est des frappes, on peut le prendre au sérieux car cela n'implique pas de troupes au sol. Ce qui constituerait sans doute la limite acceptable pour la population américaine, c'est qu'il y ait des mises en danger de soldats américains. Mais les frappes, c'est quelque chose qu'il peut faire, d'autant plus qu'il n'a pas réellement de résistance de la part du Congrès, même s'il y a des critiques qui s'élèvent. Notamment par rapport au Venezuela. Ce sont des choses qui sont en dehors de tout cadre légal, mais il n'y a pas une majorité suffisante au Congrès pour s'opposer à Donald Trump. Or, c'est le Congrès qui devrait normalement décider de ce genre d'actions. À lire aussiÀ la Une: Donald Trump annonce des frappes américaines contre des terroristes au Nigeria

Former U.S. Army Europe commander General Ben Hodges delivers a blunt assessment of America's shifting military posture and the risks it carries. He raises urgent questions about the legality of recent U.S. strikes on suspected drug-smuggling vessels, the absence of clear rules of engagement, and the strategic vacuum surrounding U.S. actions from the Western Hemisphere to Ukraine. He addresses these issues in Part One of Unchecked Force. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Imaginez, vous vous baladez, dans une forêt tropicale. Quand tout à coup, des odeurs de Saucisse de Francfort et de salade de pomme de terresviennent vous chatouiller les narines. Non vous n'êtes pas à Berlin mais bien au Pérou, coincé quelque part entre les Andes et l'Amazonie. Bienvenue à Oxapampa. C'est ici, que des colons allemands ont posé leur valise il y a 150 ans et leurs descendants comptent bien conserver les traditions. Un reportage de Martin Chabal   Oxapampa, petite ville de près de 20 000 habitants nichée au cœur des Andes tropicales péruviennes, semble tout droit sortie de la Forêt-Noire allemande. Fondée au milieu du XIXᵉ siècle par des colons austro-allemands, leurs descendants revendiquent encore aujourd'hui cet héritage singulier. Chaque année, ils célèbrent leurs origines lors d'un défilé coloré et parfois kitsch, mêlant costumes traditionnels, chars décorés et musique folklorique. Cette fête raconte l'histoire des familles fondatrices, comme celle des Albergrin, et intrigue les touristes, surpris de découvrir une culture germanique transplantée au cœur de la jungle andine.  Nasry Asfura déclaré vainqueur de l'élection présidentielle au Honduras  La presse revient largement sur cette proclamation qui intervient après des semaines de vives contestations postélectorales et d'un climat d'incertitude qui a tenu la population en haleine, écrit le journal Processo. Connu du grand public sous les surnoms de « Tito » ou « Papi a la orden », Nasry Asfuras'emploie à projeter l'image d'un candidat proche des gens, écrit la chaîne CNN en espagnol. S'il accède à la présidence du Honduras, le président élu devra aussi répondre à d'autres enjeux majeurs, estime CNN: la crainte des Honduriens face aux fraudes de la classe politique, la situation économique, l'emploi et la corruption, qui figurent parmi les principales préoccupations de la population. Bien que l'homme d'affaires promette « un gouvernement transparent » dans lequel le peuple « puisse avoir la certitude que ses fonds et ses impôts sont bien gérés », il lui faudra construire cette légitimité au sein d'un Parti national du Honduras terni par des affaires de corruption et par la condamnation pour narcotrafic de l'ancien président et dirigeant du parti, Juan Orlando Hernández.    Si les résultats du scrutin sont validés définitivement, cette l'élection représenterait aussi une victoire pour le président américain Donald Trump. C'est ce qu'on peut dans le New York Times. Le journal rappelle que Donald Trump a apporté son soutien au candidat conservateur, quelques jours avant le scrutin. Le président a déclaré sur les réseaux sociaux qu'ils pourraient travailler ensemble pour faire face aux « narco-communistes » — un terme péjoratif désignant le parti de gauche au pouvoir au Honduras et ses alliés dans la région, notamment le Venezuela — et pour acheminer de l'aide vers le pays.  Aux Etats-Unis, des millions d'enfants ont pu suivre la trajectoire du Père Noël.   Encore une fois, le père Noël est traqué par le très sérieux Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord, le NORAD. C'est à la Une de Newsweek. Ce qui a commencé par un appel téléphonique composé par erreur en 1955 est devenu une tradition très appréciée. A l'époque, un enfant a appelé le NORAD par accident. L'officier de service, le colonel Harry Shoup, a joué le jeu, lançant ainsi ce rendez-vous annuel. Une tradition à laquelle même les présidents n'y échappent pas. Donald Trump a ainsi parlé aux jeunes auditeurs via le Commandement de la défense aérospatiale de l'Amérique du Nord. Lors de ses conservations il a assuré de veiller à ce que le père Noël est sage et qu'il n'y ait pas de mauvais père Noël qui s'infiltrent dans le pays. Après avoir décroché le téléphone, il a publié un message virulent, souhaitant un « Joyeux Noël à tous, y compris – je cite - à la racaille d'extrême gauche ».   Haïti :  « Réveillez-vous »   C'est le titre de l'éditorial de Frantz Duval qui était en direct dans le  journal pour parcourir la Une du Nouvelliste. Le rédacteur en chef estime qu'en « rêvant d'un meilleur avenir, le peuple haïtien, ces dernières années, a accordé foi à des bonimenteurs. Sans mettre la main à la pâte, le pays a livré son destin au Conseil présidentiel de transition et espère des miracles de la Force de répression des gangs. Il n'en sera rien si chaque Haïtien n'est pas éveillé et vigilant », écrit Frantz Duval qui revient aussi sur l'attaque en mer déjouée par les autorités haïtiennes.  Journal d'Outre-mer la 1ère   La Guadeloupe a rendu hommage aux 344 premiers travailleurs indiens débarqués le 24 décembre 1854 à bord du trois-mâts L'Aurélie.

The Fathers do not flatter us here. They speak with a severity that at first wounds, then heals, if we allow it. They do not treat resentment as a minor flaw of temperament or a passing emotional reaction. They name it for what it is: a poison that slowly erodes the soul's capacity to remember God. Abba Makarios goes straight to the heart of the matter. To remember wrongs is not simply to remember events. It is to allow those events to take up residence within us, to become a lens through which everything is filtered. The tragedy is not primarily that we remain hurt. It is that the remembrance of God grows faint. The mind cannot hold both rancor and divine remembrance at the same time. One displaces the other. When resentment is cherished, prayer becomes difficult, then hollow, then distorted. The heart turns inward and begins to feed on its own injuries. The Fathers are unsparing here because they know how subtle rancor is. Other sins shock us into repentance. A lie, a fall, a moment of weakness often leaves the soul groaning almost immediately. But rancor settles in quietly. It eats and sleeps with us. It walks beside us like a companion we no longer question. Abba Isaiah and the Elder of the Cells both know this danger. Resentment does not merely coexist with spiritual life; it corrodes it from within, like rust consuming iron. The soul grows hard while imagining itself justified. And yet, alongside this severity, there is a startling tenderness. The Fathers do not say that healing comes through argument, vindication, or emotional catharsis. They prescribe something far more humbling and far more powerful: prayer for the one who has wounded us. Not a feeling of goodwill, not an internal resolution, but the concrete act of standing before God and interceding. Again and again the teaching is the same. Pray for him. Pray for her. Force yourself if you must. Obey even when the heart resists. The story of the brother who obeyed the Elder and prayed is quietly miraculous. Nothing dramatic happens. There is no confrontation, no apology demanded, no psychological analysis. Within a week, the anger is gone. Not suppressed. Extinguished. Grace works where the will yields, even reluctantly. The healing is not self-generated. It is given. The account of the two brothers under persecution reveals just how serious this is. One accepts reconciliation and is strengthened beyond his natural limits. The other clings to ill will and collapses under the same torments. The difference is not courage or endurance. It is love. Grace remains where love remains. When rancor is chosen, protection is withdrawn, not as punishment, but because the soul has closed itself to the very atmosphere in which grace operates. St. Maximos names the interior mechanism with precision. Distress clings to the memory of the one who harmed us. The image of the person becomes fused with pain. Prayer loosens that bond. When we pray, distress is separated from memory. Slowly, the person is no longer experienced as an enemy but as a suffering human being in need of mercy. Compassion does not excuse the wrong. It dissolves its power. What is perhaps most astonishing is the Fathers' confidence that kindness can heal not only the one who was wounded, but the one who wounds. Be kind to the person who harbors resentment against you, St. Maximos says, and you may deliver him from his passion. This is not naïveté. It is spiritual realism. Demons feed on mutual hostility. They lose their dwelling place when humility and gentleness appear. Foxes flee when the ground is no longer hospitable. St. Ephraim's image is unforgettable. Rancor drives knowledge from the heart the way smoke drives away bees. The heart was made to gather sweetness. When bitterness fills the air, nothing can remain. Tears, prayer, and the offering of oneself like incense clear the space again. This teaching is beautiful because it is honest. It does not minimize the pain of insult or harm. It is challenging because it leaves us without excuses. We cannot claim prayer while nursing grudges. We cannot claim suffering for Christ while secretly rejoicing at another's downfall. The path offered is narrow and costly, but it is also liberating. Resentment chains us to the past. Kindness loosens the chain. Prayer opens the hand. Grace does the rest. --- Text from chat during the group: 00:04:55 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Page 332 Section B Hypothesis XLII Volume II 00:11:28 Fr.

Bryan has had the privilege of talking with Rian Johnson twice for Script Magazine, once for Knives Out and once for Wake Up Dead Man. Both times they talked about his philosophy on writing and both times it touched on techniques and ideas that intersected with things that were relevant to his work on The Last Jedi. Though these interviews focus on the craft of writing and deal as much with Rian's other movies as they do Star Wars, we hope fans of Star Wars and Full of Sith will enjoy them.

On this episode of  Marni On The Move, I'm joined by Robby Sansom, Co-Founder and CEO of Force of Nature—a company at the forefront of the regenerative agriculture movement and redefining what responsible meat production looks like. In this episode, we unpack the real impact of conventional farming, the hidden costs behind cheap food, and why regenerative agriculture is emerging as a powerful solution—for soil health, animal welfare, human nutrition, and the planet. Robby breaks down how Force of Nature partners directly with ranchers who are rebuilding ecosystems from the ground up, and why transparency and consumer education are essential to fixing our broken food system. We also talk about navigating food labels and marketing claims, the nutritional benefits of regeneratively raised meat, the realities of sourcing and logistics, and how everyday food choices can support ethical practices without compromising access or quality. This is a conversation about food, health, values, and the future—and why the way we eat matters more than we think.

Spirit's Anointing…For God's Glory? In this episode of Centering, hosts Yulee Lee and Daniel Lee explore the unlikely convergence of the biblical story of Samson, fermentation of kimchi, and iconic Jane Austen characters. The topic, Spirit's Anointing…For God's glory? highlights the dangers of conflating giftedness with divine favor, the importance of character over charisma, and the critical need for communal discernment and accountability structures, emphasizing that the anointing of the Spirit is made apparent through the evidence of the fruits of the Spirit. They draw on theological insights, personal anecdotes, and historical examples to emphasize the potential pitfalls of toxic ministry. The episode underscores the necessity for spiritual leaders to embody Christ-like humility and to engage in practices that promote healthy, sustainable, and God-centered leadership. 00:00 Introduction to Toxic Ministry 01:16 Recap of Previous Episode 01:54 The Dangers of Public Figures and Parasocial Relationships 04:36 The Misuse of Spiritual Anointing 07:44 The Importance of Communal Discernment 08:56 Character vs. Charisma in Leadership 14:37 The Role of Wisdom and Maturity 16:07 Distinguishing True Movements of God 18:06 White Christian Nationalism and NAR 20:34 The Importance of Accountability in Leadership 24:36 Avoiding Desperation in Ministry 26:37 The Dangers of Familiarity with Holy Things 29:53 Final Thoughts and Reflections The Violent Take It by Force by Matthew D.

What if the real power in your life isn't what you know, but what you know that everyone else knows you know?Money only works because we all believe everyone else believes in it. Governments stand because we assume everyone else will follow the rules. Even love, status, trust, and cancel culture are driven by invisible social agreements that live in our shared mind.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Steven Pinker, Harvard psychologist, cognitive scientist, bestselling author, and one of Time's “100 Most Influential People in the World Today,” to decode the science of common knowledge and how it shapes everything from money and power to social media, revolutions, and your daily relationships.We talk about why some ideas go viral and others don't, why cancel culture and public shaming are so effective, why dictators fear free speech, and how misinformation hijacks our “collective brain.” Steven also shares powerful tools from his books Rationality and When Everyone Knows That Everyone Knows to help you think more clearly, protect yourself from cognitive biases, and become a better learner and communicator in a noisy, hyper-connected world.If you've ever wondered why people follow the crowd, why markets boom and crash, why social norms feel so powerful, or how to stay rational when everyone is yelling online, this conversation will help you see the hidden architecture behind human behavior – and use that insight to upgrade your thinking, your learning, and your life./ / / Ready to upgrade your brain? / / /Choose your own adventure.

My Guest: Nick Gray is the author of The Two-Hour Cocktail Party and founder of Museum Hack. He's mastered the art of hosting events that strengthen networks and build genuine connections. In this conversation, he shares practical systems for hosting gatherings, why every leader needs a personal website, and lessons learned from his viral blind date trip to Tokyo. The Learning Leader Show Key Learnings Two Great Ice Breaker Questions:  What's a compliment that someone has given you that you've never forgotten about?  If you could teach any class about a topic that you're an expert on, what would it be? The power of a network is real: As a leader, you're probably hiring people regularly or looking for investors. By hosting simple, lightweight meetups or dinner parties, or happy hours once a quarter, you can strengthen your network, build it, and keep those loose connections or weak ties warm. Mix professional and personal contacts: For me, a really boring event would be all work people. Look for occupational diversity. If you're hosting a work event, invite some other random folks who you know are gonna be good conversationalists and add to the energy. Don't reach for the top shelf first. Most important advice for leaders: do not invite your most impressive contact to your very first happy hour or meetup. Your first party should be for your neighbors, the parents of kids at your school, those LinkedIn connections, high school buddies you haven't seen in a while. Your first party should be a comfortable meetup for 15 to 22 people that you host at your home with just cocktails, not a dinner party. Then slowly, once a quarter, you'll be adding more people to it and filtering your list. Collect RSVPs to ensure attendance. New hosts are absolutely terrified that nobody will arrive. As long as you get a minimum of 15 people to show up, your party will generally be a success. Use platforms like Partiful or Mixily (not Paperless Post or Evite) to get people to RSVP, let them know what to expect, and send reminder messages. Ten days before, send a reminder message hyping up the party. About a week before, send another reminder message with a little dossier of who the attendees are. Write something little: "Ryan Hawk hosts a podcast. He wrote a book. He lives in Ohio. Ask him about the ski trip he went on with his family." This serves to make anxious people or socially awkward feel like they're welcome and they have a conversational access point. Practical hosting tips on event day: Label your trash cans and your bathrooms. As people arrive, greet and welcome every single person, and make them a name tag. Write it out right in front of them, first name only. Do not pre-write your name tags. Force collisions through structured activities. Your job as a leader is to go through life collecting the interesting people that you meet and helping them meet each other.  Can you become a connector? One way to be a connector is to host these meetups and force the collisions. Lead two or three rounds of introductions at your meetup. Make a little announcement 30 minutes after it starts: "There are so many interesting people here. I want you all to meet each other. We're gonna split into small groups. It might seem silly, but I promise the purpose tonight is for you to talk to as many new people as possible. We're gonna split into small groups of three or four people, and you're gonna go around and tell your life story in two minutes." End on time, especially for weekday events: Host from 6:30 to 8:30 PM with a hard stop on Tuesday or Wednesday nights. People appreciate having an end time because they have responsibilities. Having that end time makes them more likely to RSVP yes and actually attend. "I get more compliments on my party ending on time, and they leave with a positive experience, so they want to return for another." Why every leader needs a personal website. If you have a blue check verified on Instagram, if you post at least once a month on LinkedIn, you probably need your own personal website. It's proactive reputation management. People are out there searching for you on Google and on ChatGPT. It may not happen every single day, but it probably happens every week. Whether it's parents of your kids at school, whether it's new employees, people are googling you. You want to have a personal website to put your best foot forward and make a good impression. Carrd.co to create a simple homepage or cloudflare to set up your domain name.  Keep it simple: You don't need a Gary Vee type page. Your page can look like a Google Doc. Feed these large language models your story and bio. My website is plain text, simple homepage. I used to have a fancy design site. Now I'm like, dude, it doesn't matter. 80% of my visitors are on their cell phone and just want to read some text and have some links. The tweet from 2024 that changed everything.  The viral Tokyo blind date trip taught me I was ready to share my life with someone. I ended up meeting my wife a couple of months after this experience because I realized I was ready. From a business perspective, one of the most interesting things while that was happening and for about a week afterwards: anyone would accept my phone call. My callbacks were instantaneous. My dial to answer fast. People were reaching out from everywhere. I was like, whoa, is this what it's like to be a celebrity? "I came back to Texas after the trip, ready to truly settle down and find a relationship and meet my now wife." Write like you talk: The best book about storytelling is Storyworthy by Matthew Dicks. Don't try to write a LinkedIn post that says "I'm happy to announce." Would you actually say that to someone? No, you wouldn't. Say it like you talk. Advice on Blind Introductions: Use a double opt-in intro. Reach out to one person first, "Hey, are you taking new clients before I connect you with a friend?" Get both parties' permission, separately - then send the email.  Give yourself a Free Day: Dan Sullivan suggests one free day a quarter from work. Make it a weekday, and even get a burner phone so you can't check your work text/emails, so you're completely disconnected from work.  The keys to being a great host/MC: Priya Parker does such a great job talking about the theory of being a good leader. The host that doesn't do a great job is the one who's too cool to care. Give explicit instructions to people. You are a ring leader for an event, and you're in charge of everyone's energy levels and keeping the show on the road.  Add value before taking value. Never send someone a message, "I'd love to pick your brain," or "I'm looking for a mentor." That is take, take, take. Think about how you can add value first. When you add value first to people, it's some sort of law of reciprocity. They're much more likely to want to help you out or do something in return. Advice for new grads in the AI era: AI and new tools are eating into the ability for companies to hire low-level employees that do grunt work. Learn how to use the tools themselves. Work with small businesses and entrepreneurs where you can make a difference. Develop a writing practice: Matthew Dicks has this activity called Homework for Life where every night you write down some note, some anecdote, something that stuck out for you. It gives you ideas about things to write about. Use AI as an editor, not a writer: Don't outsource your thinking to AI. Use the tools, understand how to use them, but don't outsource your thinking. It'll spit back something decent, but you don't want to outsource your thinking, especially as a leader. Reflection Questions Nick says your first party should be for neighbors, school parents, and LinkedIn connections you haven't seen in a while (not your most impressive contacts). Who are 15-20 people in your life that fall into this "comfortable but haven't connected recently" category that you could invite to a simple cocktail party?   He emphasizes "add value before you take value" and never says "I'd love to pick your brain." Think about someone you want to connect with. What's one specific way you could add value to them first before asking for anything in return?   Nick hosts events once a quarter to keep weak ties warm instead of trying to have individual coffee meetings with everyone. What's one relationship-building activity you're currently doing inefficiently that could be replaced with a group gathering?

So a lot of women are being woken up by hot flashes they didn't realize they were having.” ”We desperately need more practitioners who can answer those questions for women, whether it's a more natural, holistic approach that does or doesn't include hormone therapy, antidepressants, or any of the other things. Because the other problem is that these doctors are often doling out pharmaceuticals for sleep.” ”We now know that the impact of declining estrogen and progesterone on the brain [and] on the nervous system absolutely has an impact on anxiety, depression, and sleep.”  RESOURCES MENTIONED Order my new book: The Perimenopause Revolution https://peri-revolution.com/ Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ order https://www.anrdoezrs.net/click-101585564-17091761 Dr. Aviva Romm's Website Dr. Aviva Romm on Instagram Dr. Aviva Romm's Podcast: On Health  RELATED EPISODES  701: Mood Swings, Brain Fog & Exhaustion: The Hormone Conversation You Deserve with Dr. Carrie Jones 690: The Perimenopause Revolution: Why midlife isn't the end — it's the beginning of your most energized, powerful, and vibrant self 689: The Hidden Brain Shift: Why Perimenopause Symptoms Start Earlier Than You Think 686: Your Second Puberty Explained: What's Really Happening to Your Body in Perimenopause 673: From Fatigued to Energized: Reclaiming Sleep in Midlife With Evidence-Based Solutions
