If God said it, He will do it. If God promised it, He will fulfill it.In this message, you'll discover:⛰️ How to see situations from God's perspective instead of through fear⛰️ The power of following God wholeheartedly⛰️ Why waiting does not cancel God's promises⛰️ How to remain faithful during long seasons of delay⛰️ Why your faith today becomes an inheritance for future generations⛰️ How to finish strong and fulfill God's purpose for your lifeThrough Caleb's unwavering faith, we see a powerful picture of Jesus, the One who finished His assignment completely and empowers us to finish ours.Key Scriptures:
Grace & Grit Podcast: Helping Women Everywhere Live Happier, Healthier and More Fit Lives
Forty minutes into a coaching call. A client spinning around the same problem she'd been stuck on for weeks. And then I asked her to do something simple: read her Power Statement out loud. Before she finished the first sentence, she had answered her own question. This episode is about one of the most practically powerful tools in the Consistency Code — and why it works in moments when nothing else does. Not because it's magic. Because it's yours. Written from your own wisdom, in your own words, about the woman you have committed to becoming. No one can give you that clarity. And no one can take it away. I walk through what a Power Statement actually is, how it differs from an affirmation, and why — when you take it seriously — it becomes the most reliable coaching tool you'll ever have. The real work of this episode is writing one. Not a draft. The real thing. Want everything in one place?

DC EKG with Joe Grogan Episode 137: Tax Expenditures, 340 B Drug Pricing, and Kidney Donation Reform Air Date: June 15, 2026 Episode DescriptionIn this episode, Joe Grogan sits down with Dr. Ike Brannon, President of Capital Policy Analytics and Senior Fellow at the Jack Kemp Foundation, to discuss hidden tax expenditures, the 340 B drug pricing program, and innovative solutions to the kidney shortage crisis. Dr. Brannon brings decades of Capitol Hill experience, including roles as chief economist of the House Energy and Commerce Committee and senior advisor to Senator Orrin Hatch. He and co-author Tony LoSasso recently published groundbreaking research in Health Affairs Forefront arguing that the 340 B drug pricing program should be classified as a hidden tax expenditure costing the federal government 15 to 20 billion dollars annually. The conversation covers how the 340 B program evolved from providing discounted drugs to uninsured patients into a massive subsidy for nonprofit institutions with little benefit to poor patients. Dr. Brannon explains how the same drug acquired at a 340 B discount often results in full commercial copays for patients. Joe and Dr. Brannon explore other problematic tax expenditures including the mortgage interest deduction, employer health insurance exclusion, and credit union tax breaks. The episode pivots to Dr. Branons passionate work on kidney donation reform. Forty-five thousand Americans die annually from end stage renal failure due to kidney shortage, disproportionately affecting African Americans. Dr. Brannon advocates for fully reimbursing kidney donors for all expenses.

Forty years ago, following the first surgery I went through with Gracie, the doctor told me to take a break. So I went to a movie. While I was gone, people questioned my commitment, my character, and whether I could handle being a caregiver at all. Decades later, another surgeon faced with one of Gracie's most complex surgeries gave me the exact same instruction: "Go see a movie." In this episode, I explore what that experience taught me about caregiver guilt, boundaries, stewardship, and learning what is—and isn't—mine to carry. I also revisit one of the most powerful load-bearing hymns ever written, It Is Well With My Soul, and explain why grieving people continue to find strength in its timeless words. If you've ever felt guilty for resting, struggled with criticism, or wondered how to stay healthy while caring for someone who isn't, this episode is for you.

The Forty-Deal Mirage: Why Sanctions Relief Will Cost American Troops Their Lives** In this blistering critique of ongoing U.S.–Iran foreign policy, the commentary unpacks the strategic and personal costs of a proposed maritime framework. The host sounds the alarm on President Trump's claims that the U.S. is close to a deal for the "fortieth time," contrasting White House optimism with uniform denials from Middle Eastern allies like Saudi Arabia and Israel. The monologue highlights a dangerous economic paradox: while the administration leverages the conflict to channel global refining and extraction profits into the American oil sector, it risks doing so at the cost of U.S. service members. Drawing a direct parallel to the catastrophic 2021 Abbey Gate bombing that permanently crippled Joe Biden's presidency, the host warns that Tehran does not need to defeat America militarily—they only need a handful of casualties to break the nation's political will. With backing from satellite data provided by China, Iran is sitting on billions of dollars in clogged oil reserves. Lifting sanctions and granting them a massive cash injection, the host argues, rewards hostile behavior and teaches the regime a lethal lesson: the more American troops they attack, the more money they receive.

In 1872, at the age of 31, Dvořák wrote a Piano Quintet designated as Opus 5. Dvořák was not a prodigy like some other famous composers; instead, his development as a composer was slow and steady. Later in his life, he would look back at some of these early pieces with a mix of nostalgia and embarrassment, burning some and revising others. In the case of the Op. 5 Piano Quintet, Dvořák decided to revise the piece in 1887, some 15 years after its original composition, at a point when he was approaching the peak of his creative powers. Soon, however, he cast aside the older quintet and decided to write an entirely new piece. What we were gifted was his Op. 81 Piano Quintet: a luminous, gorgeous, exciting, tragic, joyful, folk-like, classical, and flat-out masterful work that in some ways sums up what makes Dvořák such a wonderful composer, and why his music never really gets old. The Dvořák Piano Quintet is the kind of piece that feels like an old friend from the moment you start listening. Forty minutes later, as it comes to its rollicking end, you feel as if you've been on a journey through a familiar tale told in the most illuminating way. I've always adored this piece, and now that I'm able to explore more chamber music on the show, I'm thrilled to share it with you this week. We'll talk about Dvořák's blend of folk-like sonorities with his adherence to classical forms, his inexhaustible melodies, and the intangibles that make his music so fresh and inviting. Join us!

If someone has an addiction, it can completely overtake his life. It becomes the only thing that matters. He loses control and may even be willing to sacrifice his family, his career, and everything else that is truly important. The reason is because addiction blinds a person to the damage it is causing. The only way to help him is to wake him up and make him see the destruction taking place before his eyes. Sometimes, people become so consumed with earning a livelihood that it resembles an addiction. Money becomes the only thing that matters, and everything else is pushed aside in its pursuit. Every so often, a person needs a reality check to remind himself that there is far more to life than earning money. When the time comes for a person to leave this world, all of his money becomes meaningless. The countless hours spent accumulating it may become a source of regret if they came at the expense of things that have eternal value. A man told me that he became so involved in his business that he completely abandoned learning Torah for fifteen years. Then one day, someone awakened him to what was happening and encouraged him to return to learning. Today, he says he finally feels alive. His life has meaning again, and he is grateful that someone helped him break free from his obsession with making money. There are people, unfortunately, who spend years involved in bitter disputes over money. In this world, those arguments may seem significant. But in the Next World, it will become clear how insignificant they really were. Imagine the son of a king who got into a fight with a friend when they were five years old. In a moment of anger, the friend broke one of his toys. The prince shouted, "When I become king, I am going to punish you for this!" Forty years later, the prince has become king. The old friend appears at the palace and begs forgiveness for breaking the toy. The king would look at him as if he were crazy. Why would he care about a broken toy now? It is utterly insignificant compared to his current position. When a person reaches the Next World, that is how he will view someone who hurt him financially in this world. It will seem like a broken toy. Yet if he can rise above the hurt now and make peace, he will gain eternal pleasure and reward that have genuine value forever. Someone who spends his entire life building a fortune while neglecting Torah and mitzvot is like a man who reaches old age without ever marrying because he was too busy accumulating wealth. People would look at him and wonder what all that money was worth if he never built the life Hashem wanted him to have. So too, if a person leaves this world without Torah and mitzvot, all of his wealth is worthless. We have heard stories of great and successful people who cried on their deathbeds because they realized they could have done more with their lives. At that moment, they understood that the only things that truly mattered were their Torah and mitzvot. Life in this world is incredibly short compared to eternity. If a person does not stop from time to time and think about that reality, he can easily become caught up in pursuits that have little lasting value while neglecting what matters most. Let us always remain focused on what true wealth is. Those who spend their lives learning Torah and performing mitzvot are building fortunes that will last forever. The more we acquire, the greater our eternal reward will be.

Dan Navarro on Saying Yes: Writing Pat Benatar's “We Belong,” Voiceover Breakthroughs & Staying Curious at 72Songwriter and voice actor Dan Navarro joins host Jason English at the 30A Songwriters Festival to discuss his “say yes” philosophy and how it shaped his 40+ year career. Navarro recounts nearly refusing to write “We Belong” during a feud with Eric Lowen, then co-writing it in 90 minutes before it became a long-running Pat Benatar hit that now drives most of his catalog income. He explains how saying yes to a small jingle session launched decades of union voice and singing work, including Family Guy and films like Coco, Encanto, and Puss 'n Boots, and why touring remains the income he can control. Navarro reflects on positivity, relationships behind songs on Horizon Line, plans for a Spanish-language album, concerns about streaming economics, and his curiosity about what's next.00:00 Say Yes Turning Point00:48 Podcast Intro Dan Navarro02:34 30A Festival Vibes03:39 Touring Life After COVID04:28 Friends In The Round05:52 We Belong Bar Story06:57 Feud To Hit Song10:24 Royalties Mailbox Money12:40 Touring As Control13:37 Worst Career Decisions14:34 Advice Just Say Yes15:05 Voiceover Breakthrough16:13 Say Yes Voiceover Hustle16:40 Anonymity Versus Fame17:35 Soundalikes And Movie Rooms18:18 Staying Positive In Your 70s20:11 Horizon Line Breakup Songs22:20 She Dreams In Music CoWrite23:42 Spanish Album Next24:40 50 Years In The Game25:51 Streaming Royalties Reality27:44 Curiosity About Whats Next30:25 Live Performance Ordinary Days

Hidden Killers With Tony Brueski | True Crime News & Commentary
Three machine timestamps anchor the Nancy Guthrie disappearance in facts that can't be disputed. Her doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47 a.m. Twenty-five minutes later, the software detected a person at the door. At 2:28 a.m., the pacemaker monitoring her heart lost its signal — with her phone still inside the house she never re-entered. Forty-one minutes. That's the window.The FBI released the doorbell footage on February 10. A man in a ski mask, gloves, a jacket, and a holstered handgun approached the front door carrying a 25-liter Ozark Trail Hiker Pack — a backpack the bureau says is sold exclusively at Walmart. He discovered the camera in real time, reached down, pulled weeds from Nancy's own yard, and covered the lens. As of the FBI's last public statement, the man has not been publicly identified.Blood confirmed as Nancy's was found on the front porch. She left behind her phone, wallet, and the medication she reportedly needs daily. Discarded gloves were recovered approximately two miles from the property. The family found her gone, called for help within minutes, and a full response deployed — drones, K-9 units, and eventually more than a hundred investigators. No arrest has been made. Nancy Guthrie remains missing.Jennifer Coffindaffer spent 28 years at the FBI and walks through those forty-one minutes the way she was trained to process a scene. She examines what the timestamps reveal in sequence, why an 84-year-old dependent on daily medication turns every passing hour into a countdown, and what it means when a case with this much early evidence still produces no public identification of the suspect on camera.The investigation's credibility has been complicated by the Pima County sheriff's resume scandal and a recall campaign. The FBI Director publicly disputed the sheriff's characterization of the inter-agency relationship. The reward climbed from $50,000 to $1 million. The contamination questions around the initial canvass remain unresolved. Every open question in this case flows back to one: who is the masked figure on Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera, and why hasn't that person been named?Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Sixty years ago, The Monkees debuted as a TV show about a band, quickly grew into a real band, were wildly successful for just a few years, then faded away. Forty years ago, reruns on MTV inspired a new generation of Monkeemania, and so Micky, Davy, and Peter hit the road for the big 1986 Monkees reunion tour. Kevin saw them on that tour, and our guest this week did too! We're joined by Elaine, co-host of the fine podcast Monkeeing Around, which you'll find right here on the ESO Network. And our conversation includes: A breakdown of the whole Monkees set list (including their 80s hit "That Was Then, This Is Now"), the opening bands (a 60s nostalgia lineup of Herman's Hermits, Gary Puckett, and the Grass Roots), attending the show on a broken foot, getting lost in the parking lot, Micky's 80s synth drums, Davy's 80s mullet... and through it all, the nonstop screaming girls. Join us as we take the last train back to 1986, when the silly TV band from the 60s suddenly had the hottest tour of the summer. Alas, Mike Nesmith wasn't there, but we were. #monkees #monkeeingaround #mickydolenz #davyjones #petertork #hermanshermits #garypuckett #grassroots #esonetwork #eso #geektalk #geekpodcast #geek #nerdtalk #nerd #nerdpodcast #podcast #flopcast Check out Elaine's Monkees podcast, Monkeeing Around!

Send us Fan MailIn Part 1, Greg and Ethan tore apart the 2026 season — the schedule failures, the offensive identity crisis, the pitching injuries, and the analytics that tell the real story. In Part 2, they close the book on the Elliott Avent era, open the door on the Chris Hart era, and go through the entire roster player by player to figure out who's coming back, who's heading to the draft, and who's already gone.They start with Avent's real legacy. Not the wins — the man. Four baseball coaches at NC State since World War II. Twenty out of twenty-three seasons in the NCAA Tournament. Three trips to Omaha. But beyond the numbers — the 500 text messages he received the day he announced his retirement, the Chris Combs story that goes far beyond baseball, and what thirty years at one school actually means when the scoreboard stops mattering.Then it's Chris Hart. Forty-six years old. Twenty-four years as Avent's right hand. A five-year contract. Greg and Ethan debate whether Boo Corrigan called anyone else before settling on Hart, what Hart was actually responsible for day to day under Avent, and the uncomfortable question — was Avent a figurehead in his final years? Then the three things Hart must change immediately — the non-conference schedule, the pitching philosophy, and above everything else — NIL funding. NC State baseball is not competitive in the transfer portal market right now. That has to change in year one, not year three.Then the full roster. Every single player on the 2026 roster gets a verdict — Nixon, Sherman Johnson, Ty Head, Rett Johnson, Garino, Nance, McHugh, Hemric, Ragusa, Marone, Dudan, Collins Black, Devin Mitchell, and more. Who has leverage, who doesn't, who's gone, who's staying, and who could make the biggest leap in 2027.They close on the big question — is Nance, Ragusa, and Hemric enough as your weekend rotation to compete in the ACC? And what does Chris Hart actually need to go get this offseason to make NC State baseball dangerous again?This is Part 2 of 2.

Do you feel micromanaged right now? Your boss breathing down your neck? Asking for more details, more plans, more updates? You're probably thinking it's a boss problem. But Sam's going to tell you something that might sting: it's not your boss. It's you.And before you tune out, hear him out—because this applies at every level. Whether you're a salesperson with no team, a manager with a team, or an owner with leadership above you, the root cause is the same.Sam's lived by one principle for twenty-five years: Leader of one, leader of many. If you can't lead one, you can't lead any. And if you're feeling micromanaged, the person you're failing to lead is yourself.In this episode, Sam breaks down the three hundred sixty degree Extreme Ownership Framework and shows you exactly why you're being micromanaged and how to fix it.Key Teaching Points:The problem isn't your boss. It's extreme ownership and upstream communication. Two main categories: salesperson or technician with no team below, or manager with team below and leadership above. The three hundred sixty degree framework: lead up to your boss, lead across to your peers, lead down to your team. Layer one: the salesperson or technician. You're not taking ownership of your role. You're not communicating proactively. Layer two: the manager. You haven't taken extreme ownership of alignment with leadership above. You don't have a clear understanding of what success looks like to them. Layer three: all levels. The framework works everywhere.The One Three One Framework:Never take a problem to your manager without three ideas to solve it. Problem plus three solutions, then suggest the one you think is right. This develops trust.Real Example:Christian Stevens got a sixteen thousand dollar sale on his first appointment after training. He was four thousand dollars higher than the previous quote because he asked more questions and gained trust.The Fix:Take extreme ownership. Show them you've got it. Communicate proactively. Don't wait for them to ask. Send a text immediately after an appointment. Here's what happened. Here's the outcome. Tell them the story.Proactive communication stops micromanagement. Once they see you're on top of it, they have no reason to micromanage you anymore.Work with Sam:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netCoaching and training: https://www.closeitnow.net/coachingFacebook group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowEmail: sam@closeitnow.netHVAC Sales Jumpstart 2026:Live training every Monday night, seven PM Central, starting July first.

Get David's book here: https://www.nebraskapress.unl.edu/.../rainforest-radicals/ Rainforest Radicals presents the first history of one of the most innovative and successful environmental organizations of the late twentieth century. Rainforest Action Network emerged in 1985, when it took over a fledgling effort to protect rainforests from transnational corporations funding the expansion of tropical cattle ranching. It excelled at using nonviolent, civil disobedience in dramatic campaigns that captured the attention of the public, media, and RAN's corporate adversaries. As a result, two decades later rainforest conservation went from a niche academic topic to a fixture in American popular culture, the rights of Indigenous people had gone from ignored or romanticized to at least considered in discussions of the management of their ancestral homelands, and RAN had scored a series of victories over some of the planet's largest corporations. In Rainforest Radicals David Benac traces the evolution of RAN and radical, transnational grassroots environmentalism through the four campaigns identified at the group's founding: rainforest beef, Hawai‘ian rainforests, tropical timber, and multinational development banks. Forty years after RAN's inception, there is much to learn from how it organized people in small towns and large cities across the United States, created alliances that spanned oceans, and inspired a new movement that integrated human rights, Indigenous sovereignty, and environmental protection to challenge multinational corporations, national governments, and neocolonial corporate-led globalism. Through more than thirty oral histories, including those of key players from different eras of RAN's history as well as leaders from other environmental and Indigenous rights organizations, Rainforest Radicals provides unparalleled insight into the network.

Storycomic Presents: Interviews with Amazing Storytellers and Artists
#DonLesser #CrystalSprings #RootstockPublishing #LiteraryFiction #DebutNovel #FoundFamily #LoveOfPlace #FriendshipStories #PioneerValley #WesternMassachusetts #BookInterview #AuthorInterview #IndiePublishing #SmallPressBooks #Storycomic On this episode, I'm joined by author Don Lesser to talk about his debut novel, Crystal Springs — a work of literary fiction set in Western Massachusetts' Pioneer Valley, and driven by the love of place, found family, and friendships that last longer than we expect. At the center is Steven Bennett, an everyman trying to find his footing across a decades-long journey—while the past keeps pulling at his sleeve. As one early praise note puts it, “peril simmers beneath the surface,” and the book explores how a single decision can change a life's trajectory in ways that don't reveal themselves all at once. We talk about building a novel that spans time without losing emotional focus, how the Pioneer Valley shapes the characters, and what it means to write about the long game of memory, regret, and loyalty. Crystal Springs is published by Rootstock Publishing and is scheduled for May 5, 2026, with a launch event listed for May 13, 2026 at the North Amherst Library in Amherst, Massachusetts. The Title sequence was designed and created by Morgan Quaid.

We live in the most connected era in human history — and yet loneliness has never been more widespread. In this thoughtful and beautifully grounded episode, Lia Girard makes an important distinction between two very different kinds of being alone. There is the loneliness we dread — that gnawing disconnection felt even in a crowded room full of people staring at their screens. And then there is erēmos — the Greek word used in Luke 5:16 — a purposeful, chosen withdrawal to a quiet place to be with God. Jesus didn't just permit this kind of solitude. He modeled it, prioritized it, and returned to it again and again. Throughout the richly packed chapter of Luke 5, Jesus pours Himself out completely — healing, teaching, feeding, loving. And then He withdraws. Forty days alone in the wilderness. A mountainside after feeding five thousand. The Garden of Gethsemane, stepping away even from His closest friends to pray. If the Son of God — fully divine, fully human — needed the sanctuary of solitude to reorient His heart to the Father's will, how much more do we? Lia invites us to stop treating silence as something to fill and start treating it as the gift it truly is — a place where we can hear our own hearts, and the voice of God that is meant singularly for us. Today's Bible Verse "But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed." — Luke 5:16, NIV Ponder Today Solitude is not loneliness — it is sanctuary. The Greek word erēmos in Luke 5:16 describes a purposeful retreat to a quiet place. Chosen solitude with God is not isolation; it is intimacy. Jesus modeled solitude as a necessity, not a luxury. From forty days in the wilderness to a mountainside after feeding thousands, Jesus consistently withdrew to be with the Father. His example is both permission and invitation for us to do the same. Busyness and pouring ourselves out for others make solitude more necessary, not less. Jesus lived demanding, sacrificial days — and that is precisely why He withdrew. The fuller your life feels, the more urgently your soul needs quiet. Solitude protects the authenticity of your prayer life. Jesus warned against prayer performed for others to see. Time alone with God removes the audience and creates the conditions for an honest, unguarded outpouring of your heart. A Prayer for You Today Dear God, I'm not always comfortable with solitude — I tend to fill quiet moments with productivity or distraction rather than time with You. The world is loud, and my life feels full and demanding. Please help me reprioritize sitting in silence with You. Help me not to feel anxious when I'm alone, but to see stillness as a gift. Help me reestablish the practice of withdrawing to be refilled with Your guidance and presence. Thank You for Jesus, who shows us that solitude is a necessity, not a luxury — and that being alone is not lonely at all. In Jesus' mighty name, Amen.

Between 1:47 a.m. and 2:28 a.m. on the morning of February 1, somebody walked up to an 84-year-old woman's house in the Catalina Foothills of Tucson, got inside, and got her out. Nancy Guthrie's doorbell camera disconnected at 1:47. Her pacemaker app disconnected at 2:28. Forty-one minutes. That is the entire window. Four months later, nobody outside the investigation can fill it in.This True Crime Today episode walks through the full Nancy Guthrie timeline, beginning to now. The blood on her front porch. The medication she left behind. The doorbell camera that was screwed off the wall. The doorbell footage the FBI released on February 10 — the masked man, the Walmart-brand Ozark Trail backpack, the clump of weeds covering the lens.The reward that climbed from $50,000 to $100,000 to $1 million. The FBI's elite Hostage Rescue Team deployed to Tucson and then pulled back to Phoenix. The 30,000-plus tips. The recall campaign against Pima County Sheriff Chris Nanos. The Arizona Republic report on the sheriff's resume. The Pima County Board of Supervisors vote compelling testimony under oath. The FBI Director on a national podcast confirming, in his words, that the local sheriff's department did not initially cooperate as expected — and Nanos's public dispute of that characterization. The contaminated gloves. The mixed DNA still under analysis.And the 41 minutes at the center of all of it — that nobody, not the family, not the agencies, not the millions of people who have watched this case from the moment Nancy's name first hit the news, can yet account for. The full timeline. Every piece.

You know the numbers. Twelve apostles. Forty days in the desert. Seven sacraments. Seven days of creation. You know they mean something but do you know why? And what happens when you start pulling the thread?Fr. Robert Nixon returns to The Manly Catholic to unpack his latest translation, The Mystical Meaning of Numbers in Sacred Scripture, by St. Isidore of Seville. Numbers may seem boring on the service, but this book is a window into how the greatest minds in Church history understood the universe and why the numbers embedded in Scripture are not decoration but design.Fr. Nixon walks through who St. Isidore actually was (patron saint of the internet!) and breaks down why the ancient world treated mathematics as a form of mystical philosophy.
Before They Left the Ship #RTTBROS #Nightlight "O give thanks unto the LORD, for he is good: for his mercy endureth for ever."— Psalm 107:1THE STORYNovember 11, 1620. The Mayflower sat anchored in the cold waters off Cape Cod, and nothing was going according to plan.The Pilgrims had intended to settle in Virginia, under the jurisdiction of an existing charter. But storms and navigational error had brought them far north of their destination, into territory where no legal framework existed to govern them. Some among the passengers, the strangers as the Pilgrims called those who were not part of their congregation, began to talk openly about going their own way once they landed. No charter, no authority. Every man for himself.What happened next was extraordinary. Before a single person stepped off that ship, the Pilgrim leaders gathered the company together and produced a document. It was brief, barely two hundred words, but it changed everything. They covenanted together in the name of God to form a civil body politic for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith. They would act as one people under one God.Forty-one men signed it. They called it the Mayflower Compact. And then, only then, they went ashore.THE REFLECTIONBefore the houses. Before the harvest. Before the hardship they could not yet imagine, the covenant came first.Half of them would be dead before spring. The winter of 1620 to 1621 was catastrophic. They buried their dead in unmarked graves so the watching natives would not know how few of them remained. And yet the survivors planted, prayed, and pressed on. William Bradford, their governor, wrote that God had preserved them beyond all human probability.There is a reason the Mayflower Compact is considered the seedbed of American self-government, and it is not just political philosophy. It is theological conviction made practical. These people believed that human beings, left to themselves, tend toward chaos. Order comes from above. Authority derives from God. Community requires covenant.We forget this at our peril. In our age of radical individualism, the Pilgrims stand as a quiet rebuke. They understood that freedom is not the absence of accountability. It is the fruit of it. They covenanted before they landed because they knew what they were capable of without God, and they wanted no part of it.THE PATRIOT'S PRAYERFather, we thank You for men and women who covenanted with You before comfort ever came. You are a covenant-keeping God, and You have been faithful to this nation far beyond anything we have deserved. Forgive us where we have broken faith, with You, with one another, and with the inheritance left to us. Restore in us a covenant heart, and may we never mistake freedom for independence from You. Through Christ our Redeemer, Amen.PRAY IT FORWARD: Reflect today on the covenants in your own life, with God, with family, with your community, and ask Him to show you where faithfulness is needed most.
As the nation approaches its 250th anniversary, two veteran activists are celebrating one of the country's foundational principles: the right to protest, as embodied in the Declaration of Independence. But they warn that this right is under attack.“Our ability to protest is key to moving forward on a whole range of environmental and social issues … which is why I'm so terrified at the thought of losing this democratic right,” said Annie Leonard, who spent 17 years with Greenpeace USA, serving as executive director from 2014 to 2023.She and André Carothers are co-authors of “Protest: Respect It, Defend It, Use It.” Carothers spent 13 years with Greenpeace USA and co-founded and led the Rockwood Leadership Institute.The two have direct experience of the power of the protest and the ferocity of the pushback.Anti-protest laws are spreading and becoming increasingly repressive. Nearly 400 anti-protest bills have been introduced in 45 states, according to the International Center for Not-For-Profit Law. Activists are now being charged with felonies and accused of terrorism.One of the most draconian anti-protest tools is known as a strategic lawsuit against public participation, as was filed against Greenpeace by Energy Transfers, builder of the Dakota Access Pipeline. The company accused Greenpeace of inciting violence and spreading misinformation during indigenous-led protests in 2016 and 2017 that delayed construction. Last year, a North Dakota jury awarded Energy Transfers $660 million, later reduced to a still-staggering $345 million.SLAPP lawsuits “are designed to intimidate, silence, scare, distract and bankrupt critics,” Leonard told me. “It's a kind of corporate legal bullying” intended to prevent people from protesting. Forty states, including Vermont, now have anti-SLAPP statutes.“Protest” describes creative and successful acts of resistance from around the world. Among these are the 2015 protests by “kayaktivists” in Seattle aimed at stopping Shell Oil from drilling in the Arctic. Hundreds of people in kayaks, sailboats and tribal canoes took to the water to block an oil drilling rig, Shell's Polar Pioneer, as it was being moved to Alaska. The boaters held up signs saying, “Save the Arctic,” “Oil-Free Future” and “Shell No!”After spending $7 billion on Arctic oil exploration, Shell ultimately canceled the project, citing high costs and “the challenging and unpredictable federal regulatory environment,” which protesters took credit for.Leonard said that what made the Seattle protest successful was that it was “part of a long intentional escalating campaign” that included family kayak training each weekend and free kayak rentals. “There were community meetings and art builds. It was a very inclusive and participatory set of activities for a couple of years leading up to filling the actual bay with kayaks to try to stop the Polar Pioneer from moving forward.”Carothers noted that “a lot of these protesters are not honored at the time.” Rosa Parks and her husband lost their jobs and had to leave town after her refusal to give up her seat for a white person on a bus in Montgomery, Alabama, in 1955. It took nearly 40 years before Parks was honored by President Bill Clinton with a Presidential Medal of Freedom.“There are so many ways to get involved,” said Carothers, highlighting how citizens have protested the federal immigration crackdowns in New Orleans, Los Angeles and Minneapolis. He said he counted 27 different ways that people in Minneapolis resisted U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, “from people driving their neighbors' kids to school because they didn't want to leave the house,” to lawyers offering their services in cars, to people delivering food to their immigrant neighbors, to others “who went to the detention center with a blanket and a cup of hot soup when someone was released.”Leonard and Carothers want their book to be both inspirational and practical. They are speaking at the Patagonia store in Burlington on June 5 and offering a training in nonviolent resistance the following day.“If you're feeling alone and if you're feeling isolated, don't be alone,” Carothers said. “Find a neighbor, find a mailing list that is describing what's available to you in your community … and do what it takes to support the universe of people who are perhaps more inclined to go in the street, or perhaps more inclined to be arrested because they have the social capital (or) the economic flexibility to risk arrest in a way other people don't.”“There's lots of ways to be involved,” Carothers added, emphasizing: “Protest works.”

Forty percent of the land in this country is expected to change hands by 2035. Most of the people holding it have no idea how much of that wealth they are about to hand to the IRS. Joe Michaletz and Mike O'Toole, CEO and principal at Discipline Advisors, have spent decades helping farmers, ranchers and land owners exit their real estate in the most tax-efficient way possible. In this conversation they break down the full toolkit, starting with 1031 exchanges and the most common mistakes people make going into them, including the debt replacement test that catches landowners off guard more than almost anything else. They walk through Delaware Statutory Trusts in real depth, how they differ from REITs, why diversification inside a DST portfolio matters as much as it does anywhere else, and what the 721 UPREIT path actually means and when it is and is not a good idea. The conversation also covers charitable remainder unitrusts, a tax elimination strategy for farm equipment, livestock and grain that most landowners have never heard of, and how one dairy farmer moved 6.5 million dollars of cattle and equipment into a CRUT, sold it with zero tax, and funded a lifetime income stream in the process. For anyone aging out of land ownership, planning a farm transition, or sitting on decades of appreciation with no exit plan, this episode is the conversation to have before you sign anything.

You ever feel like your work bleeds into your life and your life bleeds into your work, and somehow you're never fully off the clock? I hear it constantly. Today I'll tell you something most coaches won't. There's no such thing as work-life balance. It ebbs and flows, and you'll chase it forever if you try to hold it still. But there is a delineation hiding inside this whole thing — and once you see it, your weekends actually feel like weekends again and your Sunday nights stop feeling like Monday morning. Hit play. We're splitting this thing in two. Featured Story On a call this week, a client told me her work and her personal life were one and the same. She runs a lifestyle business, hangs out with her friends in the community, and sometimes those friends become customers. To her, it all blurred into one happy thing. I said no. No, no, no. Forty minutes of stories and metaphors, trying to crack open something she couldn't see yet. Probably 10 metaphors. Way too much overcoaching, even for me. But she finally got there. And the moment she did, the whole thing came apart in a way I had never explained to anyone before. Important Points Stop trying to balance work and life. Balance ebbs and flows by the hour, and chasing it keeps you frustrated all day. There's a real difference between you taking care of yourself and you working — call it what it is to stop the bleed. Treat your job like a shift. Show up, do the work, then walk out — and let your personal time actually be personal. Memorable Quotes I treat my job as a shift. I walk in, put the work hat on, get it done — and when I say I'm done, I walk out the door. I know I have to take care of myself first. There is you who takes care of you, and then there's you with everyone else. There is no balance between work and life. It just ebbs and flows all the time. You never know where it's going to be. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, split your time into four buckets: you alone, you with others, your work shift, and your work for yourself. Next, treat your job like a shift — show up, work the hours you set, then walk out and let your time be yours. Then protect the personal buckets — the gym, the planning, the play — and watch the Sunday-night dread disappear.

In insurance we love to divide ourselves into different mutually-exclusive tribes. Life and non-life, property and casualty, marine and non-marine. Long and short tail Traditional balance sheet reinsurance and Insurance-Linked Securities. And not forgetting - live and legacy. But the fact is that as the global insurance ecosystem becomes more sophisticated there are really only two major differences. Different types of insurance skills and different types of insurance capital. Legacy is a case in point. It has long since outgrown its claims administration roots and developed into the provision of increasingly complex forms of capital relief for the live market that are bringing it closer and closer to live risk. Today's guest is the embodiment of that change. Will Bridger came into the legacy insurance world through investment banking, not claims handling. As Group CEO of Compre he has overseen extraordinary growth with a balance sheet that has moved from the tens of millions to the low-single-digit billions. If you think you already know legacy, you need to listen to Will. For example, Compre's current plans envisage only one third of group activity coming from what we would think of as traditional run-off. So where are the other two thirds going to come from? Ever closer relationships with live carriers that bring more predictable renewal-style income streams, underwriting sidecars and pre-packaged legacy arrangements with alternative capital providers are all part of the mix. This is a fascinating conversation with someone who has developed into an insurance person as dyed-in-the-wool and baked into the insurance ecosystem as the best of us. Will is fun to spend time with and a great communicator. Forty minutes with him and your whole perspective about the legacy market, where it is heading and the value it might be adding to the global insurance whole will change completely.

Forty years ago, the world's worst nuclear accident took place at Chernobyl, in what was then the Soviet Union. When news of the disaster began to emerge beyond the Iron Curtain, one of those paying close attention was Adi Roche in Ireland. At the time, Adi was working as a peace educator, teaching about nuclear weapons and Cold War tensions. She went on to found Chernobyl Children International, which became one of the most significant and sustained humanitarian responses to the disaster. Over the years, she brought aid and medical support to Ukraine, Belarus and other affected regions, established a paediatric cardiac programme for children born with heart defects, and helped arrange for children from Belarus to be adopted in Ireland. Colm Flynn meets Adi Roche to hear about the work that has shaped her life, and the Christian faith that she says has sustained her through it. This episode of The Documentary, comes to you from Heart and Soul, exploring personal approaches to spirituality from around the world.
