Lieutenant-Colonel Chris Bray is the Commanding Officer of 427 Special Operations Aviation Squadron, the Royal Canadian Air Force unit supporting the Canadian Special Operations Forces Command (CANSOFCOM).In Part 2, we take a rare look behind the curtain of Canadian Special Operations Aviation, exploring how 427 Squadron evolved into the modern capability it is today. Chris explains the squadron's culture, what makes it unique among allied SOF aviation units, the philosophy of "no mission too small," the addition of the CE-145C Vigilance, and the standards that define one of Canada's most demanding aviation communities. We also discuss leadership, mission command, and how 427 built a reputation for professionalism, adaptability, and trust while supporting special operations around the world.CONTINUE THE FLIGHTEXPLORE THE LOGBOOKMore stories from RCAF and mission aviation pilotshttps://podpilotproject.transistor.fm/episodesCHAPTERS(00:00:00) Introduction and Welcome(00:02:41) How 427 Squadron Reinvented Itself(00:03:39) Building One Special Operations Aviation Culture(00:06:49) Why the Squadron Had to Change(00:09:44) Living Through the Transformation(00:13:10) Earning a Reputation in Special Operations Aviation(00:14:49) "No Mission Too Small"(00:18:46) Expanding the Mission with the CE-145C Vigilance(00:20:44) Learning to Think Beyond Helicopters(00:22:53) What Makes 427 Different?(00:26:21) Becoming an Organic CANSOFCOM Capability(00:28:44) The Professionals Behind Every Mission(00:30:04) Why Communications Can Make or Break a Mission(00:31:12) Building Trust with Canada's Special Operations Forces(00:33:44) Maintaining Elite Standards(00:37:52) Rewriting the Rules: The New TOCA(00:41:35) The Career Path of a Special Operations Aviator(00:44:57) Balancing Risk and Mission Success(00:46:22) Leading an Elite Squadron(00:47:34) The Hardest Decisions as Commanding Officer(00:49:57) Next Time: Inside SOTAC

Most men don't fail in leadership because they don't know what to do. They fail because they haven't let God deal with who they are. In this Chapter 1 companion video for The Armory of Leadership, Vince Miller challenges men to confront the first and hardest battlefield of leadership: the man in the mirror. Before a man can lead his family, church, workplace, or circle of influence, he must first be led by Christ. This teaching walks through the central theme of Chapter 1: spiritual leadership begins with surrender, self-denial, submission, and servanthood. God does not merely sharpen leaders. He forges men. Get the book here: https://beresolute.org/product/the-armory-of-leadership/ #ArmoryOfLeadership #VinceMiller #ChristianMen 10 Reflection & Small Group Discussion Questions 1. What part of your life is most resistant to God's leadership right now? What makes that area so hard to surrender? 2. Where has pressure recently revealed a crack in your character? What did that moment expose about your heart? 3. Which of the five flaws do you see most clearly in yourself: self-resistance, low awareness, emotional bias, lack of discipline, or internal conflict? How does that flaw affect the people you lead? 4. When have you mistaken a skills issue for a soul issue? How might God be trying to form you beneath the surface? 5. What is one area where you keep asking God to sharpen what He may actually want to melt down? What would full surrender look like there? 6. How do you usually respond when God exposes something uncomfortable in you: defensiveness, shame, confession, avoidance, or action? What would a more godly response look like? 7. What does "the forge is not a place of shame but a place of formation" mean to you personally? How does that truth change the way you see conviction? 8. Which of the four forge truths do you most need right now: surrender, self-denial, submission, or servanthood? Why that one? 9. Who is affected most when you fail to lead yourself well? How could your growth bless them? 10. What one specific action will you take this week to let God forge you as a leader? Who will you tell so they can pray for you or hold you accountable?

Adullam is a place of transformation, where ordinary people are shaped into men of purpose, character, and spiritual strength. Just as God raised mighty warriors from the cave of Adullam, this gathering is a call to be refined, equipped, and prepared for kingdom assignment. Through the Word, prayer, and the power of the Holy Spirit, men will be forged to stand firm, lead boldly, and fulfill their divine calling.

Season 5: Episode 33In this episode, Mike sits down with author, researcher and LGBTQ advocate Kathy Baldock to discuss her groundbreaking new book, Forging A Sacred Weapon.For decades, many Christians have been taught that opposition to LGBTQ people has always been the historic, biblical position of the Church. Kathy's extensive research tells a very different story. Whether you're deconstructing your faith, seeking a more historically informed understanding of homophobia and the Bible or simply curious about how theology evolves over time, this conversation offers essential historical context and thoughtful reflection.If this episode was meaningful to you, consider subscribing, sharing it with a friend, and leaving a review.

Episode Summary: The quickest way to learn about the culture of a nation isn't to watch its politics. It's to watch how it educates its children.In this episode, we sit down with author and classical Christian educator David Goodwin, president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools, to explore why education is never neutral and how it shapes a child's worldview, character, loves, and vision of reality.Drawing from his new book, The Forging of the American Mind, and the bestselling Battle for the American Mind (co-authored with Pete Hegseth), David explains the roots of progressive education, the recovery of classical Christian education, and why Christian parents must think beyond skill-based learning to the formation of the whole person.In this episode you'll learn:Why education is about formation, not just informationHow progressive education reshaped American schoolsWhat classical Christian education offers parents todayThe role of story, virtue, and discipleship in raising faithful childrenPractical guidance for parents exploring Christian education, homeschooling, and school choiceAs Charlie Kirk writes:"Battle for the American Mind is a must-read. The education fight is the most critical in America."If you care about biblical worldview, Christian parenting, discipleship, education reform, homeschooling, classical Christian education, or the future of America, this conversation is for you.Matching Challenge: Donate - Disciple Nations Alliance Who is Disciple Nations Alliance (DNA)? Since 1997, DNA's mission has been to equip followers of Jesus around the globe with a biblical worldview, empowering them to build flourishing families, communities, and nations.

We're entering a new society, is what I said, and then laughed at hearing myself say something so extreme, but…It's what I truly believe!Dominant narratives are losing their zing, filmmakers (and audiences!!) are more discerning than ever about Hollywood's ultimate goals, and something new and non-dependent is rising like a perfectly baked soufflé. For the cost of an oatmilk matcha (pre-tip), you can unlock the vault of Town Hall workshops designed ~specifically~ to help non-dependent artists build audiences.It was an absolute pleasure to get into non-dependence, grief, the creative process, and well.. all of it with Laverne McKinnon, an executive producer, grief coach, and career strategist on her Substack Live a few weeks ago.Below you'll find the timestamps and 5 actions filmmakers can take right now to build their careers in the brand new world we're creating every single day.Timestamps & Topics* 00:03:42 — The “coziness” of Birdman and how it helped me learn screenwriting* 00:08:14 — The influences of seeing space shuttle launches in Florida as a kid* 00:10:10 — Learning that artistic freedom wasn't on my industry career path* 00:11:11 — Accepting reality: no one's looking for breastfeeding mom directors!* 00:15:30 — Career coherence and a resistance to having a “marketable” identity* 00:20:02 — The ambition it takes to chart a difference course* 00:22:53 — Instability brought on by mergers, strikes, and AI* 00:23:44 — Forging genuine relationships between filmmakers and audiences* 00:24:39 — The NonDē infrastructural builds we're currently working on* 00:27:35 — Why my negative self-talk is none of my business* 00:30:34 — The importance of collecting data for filmmakers* 00:32:07 — Collaboration over competition as a necessary strategy for audience-building* 00:32:30 — The current initiatives being run by the Non-Dependent Film Movement on and off FilmStack* 00:37:08 — How to generate momentum when it's lost* 00:41:22 — What folks get very wrong about non-dependence* 00:45:55 — Defining career grief and the language and support to process it* 00:47:41 — My personal story of not working for 3 years* 00:50:43 — Learning to “take the L” as a major life strategy* 00:55:02 — How severed attachments impact the brain's cognition* 00:57:18 — How being with my dad in his final days impacted my work* 01:00:13 — How holding all parts of life, including death and loss, can create meaning and even sometimes fulfillment5 Actions for Filmmakers to Take Right Now * Execute on one thing today. Execution is momentum. Waiting for “20/20 vision” or a perfect plan is a thinking trap because as much as I would la-hove to think my way out of every situation, situations usually require action before you can figure them out. But action doesn't have to be a grand gesture. You can catch a momentous wave by simply sending an email, following up with someone when a ball has been dropped or phoning in a favor. There's always something to do, and it doesn't have to be a big thing for it to have big impact.* Collect whatever data you have access to right now and write it down. We all know we're supposed to be collecting our data, but what does that mean?It could mean:* Your subscriber count* Your subscriber open rate* Your last film's overall seat count* Your conversion rate (for email or ticket sales or podcast eps, or…)* Your ACV (Average Customer Value), meaning, how much does each customer/audience member typically spend with you?* Funding raised across all projectsCollecting this kind of data puts you in the driver's seat whether you're going fully non-dependent or not. Because if you decide you want a traditional distribution deal down the line, when you collect your data now, having that data will give you better leverage when striking that deal.* Strike up a radical collaboration with another filmmaker. For non-dependent filmmakers, when you focus on competing rather than collaborating, you're kneecapping your ability to grow your audience. You aren't in a competitive business, you're in a collaborative one. Audiences do not get sick of movies. If they like your filmmaker friend's film, that is actually GOOD NEWS FOR YOU. It means they're more likely to watch yours. So whatever you can do today to radically collaborate with someone will only benefit you. It could be as simple as a joint Substack post or as complicated as a multi-city collaborative theatrical tour. Collaboration allows artists to collapse timelines, learn from each other's mistakes faster, and offset the risk from going it alone.* Participate in an infrastructural build. Because the traditional Hollywood system has become an unstable place to chart a career, it's incumbent on us to build the infrastructure we need. But we can't build the house without the scaffolding. We need small bits of infrastructure to build the bigger, better system as a whole. Small builds could be: rounding up all of the screening venues in your neighborhood or city and sharing them with NonDē Alternative Venue List, or suggesting an initiative within the NonDē 50 Films Project, or writing a Substack post on your post-production workflow. Small infrastructure is still infrastructure, and we need it to build the entire ecosystem.* Develop your career-grief literacy. The disappointment you feel in the industry (or in the speed at which you're able to build outside of it) creates legitimate physiological events in your body that impact cognition and physical health. Take the time to grieve it. Mourn the things you thought were for you. Mourn the direction you thought you were pointed in. Integrate that loss into your identity, you don't have to always just rise above. Sometimes you can wade directly through, and that's a faster salve. Remember: maintaining your emotional resilience is required to continue making art. Take good care of yourself, always.Psst. If you've made it this far in the post, then you deserve the insider secrets! You can grab a 7-day free trial to test drive past LGA Town Halls to see if they're valuable, before you commit. :)Feeling NonDē curious?

Katie got into making swords through a traineeship at Lancaster Armoury, after leaving a career in the NHS, and along with fellow trainee Horatio, they set up Crucible Armoury in Sheffield, with Katie doing the blades and Horatio doing the armour. We talk about making different types of crazy swords, running a profitable business, how blades were made before power tools, and the dream business of creating an armoury within a pub (or a pub within an armoury).

Bridget Phetasy sits down with Luke Burgis to discuss his new book, The One and the 99: Forging Identity in the Age of Social Contagion. They explore one of the most uncomfortable ideas in modern thought: that we don't actually know what we want — we copy the desires of others. They discuss why tribalism is surging even as loneliness is rising, the longterm effects of turning everything - even religion - into “content”. They share a variety of stories from attending seminary to winding up at an ashram cult, analyze the Gen Z stare, and talk about what it means to be a real person in an increasingly mediated world.Get Luke's book here - https://www.amazon.com/One-Ninety-Nine-Forging-Identity-Contagion/dp/1250373034#lonely #SocialContagion #tribal #WalkInsWelcome #bridgetphetasyTopics covered: mimetic desire, René Girard, tribalism and identity, social contagion, AI and the human person, community and loneliness, pseudo self vs solid self, contentification of religion, gig economy and the creator class, face-to-face interaction

The perfect hire is not always found. Sometimes they have to be built. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why elite talent is forged through leadership, training, and clear systems. Let's be real… If you are waiting for a unicorn employee to walk through the door… With every skill you need… Perfect instincts… Zero training required… And the ability to read your mind… You are going to be waiting forever. In this episode, you'll learn: Why A players are built through great leadership How poor onboarding destroys employee potential Why structure and standard operating procedures come before scale How investing in your people creates loyalty, ownership, and elite performance The truth is simple: You cannot drop someone into chaos and expect excellence. If there is no process… No training… No communication… No clear standard… Even talented people will fail. That is not always an employee problem. Sometimes it is a leadership problem. High-level founders do not just search for unicorns. They forge them. They document the process. They train with patience. They communicate the standard. They mentor their key people until the team can execute without constant hand-holding. Because when your people know you are invested in their growth… They fight for the vision like it is their own. Stop waiting for the perfect operator. Build the environment that creates one. Invest in your talent. Set the standard. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

What happens after we realize that education is about far more than information transfer? In this episode of BaseCamp Live, Davies Owens sits down with David Goodwin, president of the Association of Classical Christian Schools and co-author of the New York Times bestselling book Battle for the American Mind. David's newest book, Forging the American Mind, serves as a practical guide for parents and educators who want to understand not only why classical Christian education matters, but how it actually works. Tune in to hear: Why Battle for the American Mind resonated with so many parents and educators What paideia is and why it shapes every child's understanding of truth, identity, and purpose Why the most important question in education is not "What do you know?" but "How do you know?" How Dorothy Sayers and C.S. Lewis continue to influence the classical Christian education movement Practical examples of classical education in action, from great books and handwriting to Socratic discussion and dialectical learning How adults who feel they "missed out" on a classical education can begin pursuing one today Along the way, David offers a compelling vision for recovering the lost tools of learning and cultivating wisdom, virtue, and intellectual freedom in the next generation. Whether you're a parent, educator, school leader, or lifelong learner, this conversation will help you think more deeply about what education is for and how it shapes both individuals and culture.

Kerry Writers’ Museum will welcome artists from throughout the world from June 11th to 14th for a four-day Celtic Arts festival. Jerry spoke to event organiser Stephen Rynne, and Maui artist Hamish Burgess.

In June 1992, 179 nations made two pledges that still shape every international conservation agreement today, and thirty years later, the world's most important climate conference was held inside a tropical rainforest. What happens in those halls matters—but so does everything that happens after. James Deutsch, CEO of Rainforest Trust, breaks down how a half-billion-dollar pledge helped catalyze the 30x30 target, why the Tropical Forests Forever Facility could fix a structural flaw in carbon finance, and where he sees the next window for real conservation progress. Constanza Prieto Figelist, Legal Director for Latin America at the Earth Law Center, explains how a Peruvian court recognized the Marañón River as a subject of rights, and why four articles in Ecuador's constitution have stopped more destructive projects than years of protest ever could. Catarina Nefertari of Amazônia de Pé was on the ground in Belém when COP30 arrived, and has spent years closing the distance between communities most affected by Amazon destruction and the rooms where decisions about its future are made.

What if the wicked villains did conquer the elves? And what if a young elf-maiden was forced to carry the offspring of one of the invaders? That's the new novel The Rending Cauldron, just brewed by fantasy author and Realm Makers president Rebecca P. Minor. Today, Becky joins us in the studio to explore tough topics, dark drama, and the expanding worlds of Christian-made fantastical fiction.

Early responses from readers and a guide to complex stories. 3. Forging a deeper Christian-made fantasy Stories can avoid politics, but wrestle with pre-political moralities. They can go beyond jargon and apply crises to realistic people. And not every story is for everyone. Readers can help each other.

Others may not care so much, especially if they didn't grow up in the 1980s. But no matter your age, fantasy franchises from that decade have shaped the creative worlds we know today.

On this Tourism Tuesday Berryville/Clarke County edition of The Valley Today, host Janet Michael catches up with Martha Reynolds, Executive Director of The Barns of Rose Hill, to walk through what's coming next — and there is a lot.

From Pulitzer and National Book Award finalist Anand Gopal, an epic and enthralling account of six Syrians fighting for a better world, in the tradition of classic works by Philip Gourevitch and Katherine Boo.In 2011, in a northern Syrian city, a small group of men and women began a movement that overthrew a brutal dictatorship. For the next eighteen months, many of the citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times.Days of Love and Rage (Viking, 2026) details the powerfully intimate narratives of the men and women who led this struggle, and who experienced the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal. Among them: a pair of best friends torn apart by political polarization, a mother who stands up to male dominance, and a worker who risks everything for the dream of equality.Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the broader story of rising authoritarianism in our times. Days of Love and Rage has the force, sweep, and artistry of a great novel, and is ultimately a story of our enduring human need for dignity and hope.

For the next eighteen months, many of the citizens of Manbij carried out one of the most remarkable experiments in democracy in modern times.Days of Love and Rage (Viking, 2026) details the powerfully intimate narratives of the men and women who led this struggle, and who experienced the highs of camaraderie and the lows of betrayal. Among them: a pair of best friends torn apart by political polarization, a mother who stands up to male dominance, and a worker who risks everything for the dream of equality.Anand Gopal immerses you in the world of a single city in the throes of revolution, and lays bare the danger that inequality poses to democracy. But this book transcends the particulars of one terrible conflict to tell the broader story of rising authoritarianism in our times. Days of Love and Rage has the force, sweep, and artistry of a great novel, and is ultimately a story of our enduring human need for dignity and hope. Anand Gopal is a writer for The New Yorker. He is the author of No Good Men Among the Living and writes about democracy, inequality, and conflict. Recommended Books: Loubna Mrie, Defiance Walter Ang, Orality and Literacy Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature, is published with Bloomsbury Publishing.
