He was a native of Thessalonica, born of noble parents. His wisdom and distinction in battle earned him rapid advancement in the service of the Empire: in time he was appointed commander of all the Roman forces in Thessaly, and Proconsul of Hellas. Despite these worldly honors, Demetrius put his Christian faith before all, and by his words and example brought many pagans to faith in Christ.   When the Emperor Maximian, a persecutor of Christians, came to Thessalonica he appointed games and public sacrifices to celebrate his recent victory over the Scythians. Some jealous pagans used the visit to denounce Demetrius to the Emperor. Maximian had Demetrius cast into a fetid cell in the basement of some nearby baths. Maximian had brought with him a huge barbarian of tremendous strength named Lyaios, who fought many men in the arena and defeated them all, to the entertainment of the Emperor and the crowds. A young Christian named Nestor determined to show the people that the only true strength is in Christ: he visited Demetrius in his cell and asked for his blessing to challenge Lyaios to combat. The Martyr made the sign of the Cross over Nestor and sent him to the arena with his blessing. Nestor, a young boy, cried out before the Emperor 'God of Demetrius, help me!' and quickly killed the mighty Lyaios, to the astonishment of the crowd. The infuriated Emperor had Nestor slain with his own sword, and sent soldiers to Demetrius' cell, where they killed him with their spears. Demetrius' servant, a believer named Lupus, retrieved the body of Demetrius and buried it with honor. He kept the Saint's ring and blood-stained tunic, and through them worked several miracles and healings. When the Emperor heard of this, he had Lupus, too, beheaded.   As a sign of the grace that rested on the holy Demetrius, a fragrant myrrh flowed copiously from the Martyr's body after his death, healing many of the sick. For many centuries, St Demetrius has been a patron Saint of Thessalonica.

 Bien qu'il ait fait sa réputation au service de l'Empire, Antoine-Jean Gros ne fut pas boudé par la Restauration. Mais il eut le malheur, en pleine explosion romantique, de se cramponner au néoclassicisme…   Mention légales : Vos données de connexion, dont votre adresse IP, sont traités par Radio Classique, responsable de traitement, sur la base de son intérêt légitime, par l'intermédiaire de son sous-traitant Ausha, à des fins de réalisation de statistiques agréées et de lutte contre la fraude.

Pastor Leo on John 15:8- 16:4

Comment exister autrement que par son nom de famille quand on est le petit-fils de Gérard Mulliez ?Après ses études, Alexandre Mulliez passe 10 ans entre deux mondes : d'un côté l'empire familial Auchan dans lequel il fait ses gammes et de l'autre les start-up qu'il crée.Mais dès le début sa vision détonne : il s'occupe des gens, des clients, des collaborateurs et n'hésite pas à s'opposer aux dirigeants et à leurs enjeux d'EBITDA et d'évolution de parts de marché.Après un an à la tête d'Auchan France avec son bras droit Fabien Lazare, le comité de direction les évince.Le duo se met donc en quête d'un projet dans lequel ils pourraient jeter toutes leurs forces pour les 40 prochaines années et se tourne vers une passion commune : le sport.Faute d'écurie de F2 disponible, ils mettent la main sur le Football Club de Versailles qui évolue en championnat national et perd 7,5 millions d'euros par saison à ce moment-là.Dès le premier jour ils décident de tout documenter, tout filmer, tout montrer, sans exception.Lancée en septembre 2025, la série “Le Club” crée un engouement historique autour du FC Versailles. On entre dans l'intimité du vestiaire mais on découvre aussi — et surtout — les défaites, les problèmes de financement, le combat quotidien pour le maintien en division nationale. C'est la quintessence du "build in public".Un échange passionnant et sincère avec un homme bien plus radical qu'on ne pourrait l'imaginer et dont l'énergie semble inépuisable.TIMELINE:00:00:00 : “J'avais le cul entre deux chaises pendant 10 ans”00:14:42 : Chercher (et trouver) le meilleur moyen d'avoir de l'impact00:29:11 : Le conditionnement à l'entrepreneuriat dans la famille Mulliez00:45:13 : La technique pour retourner n'importe quelle entreprise en un an01:03:30 : “Caissiers, magasiniers ou cadres : il faut que chacun puisse utiliser tout son potentiel”01:13:41 : Comment sélectionner la meilleure équipe01:23:27 : Trouver son bras droit pour la vie01:29:32 : Le rachat express du FC Versailles01:38:11 : Assumer son ambition et choisir de TOUT montrer01:46:27 : “En leader, mon rôle c'est d'être au service des gens”02:00:45 : Comment bien gérer un club de foot professionnel02:12:16 : Ces 90 minutes irrationnelles où tout s'arrête02:23:51 : 40 ans pour gagner la Ligue des champions02:35:30 : “50% de ce que je suis aujourd'hui, je le dois à mon grand-père”02:48:46 : Le poids d'être un petit-fils MulliezLes anciens épisodes de GDIY mentionnés : #127 - Paul Lê - La Belle Vie - De la résilience, de l'honnêteté et du travail pour réussir big time#380 - Paul Lê - La Belle Vie - Le Son Gokû de la FoodTech qui rachète Frichti#234 - Amandine Merle Julia - Plum Living - Pimper IKEA pour proposer un design d'intérieur accessible à tous#483 - Carlos Ghosn - Out of the box : masterclass business de l'évadé du siècle#386 - Patrice Haddad - 40 ans de prod, 15 ans de foot : de Première Heure au Red Star#488 - Valentin Kretz - L'Agence (immobilier de luxe) - Le vrai business des Kretz derrière la série Netflix#312 - Thierry Reboul - Directeur exécutif de Paris 2024 - Orchestrer l'événement du siècle : récit d'un créatif rebelle#485 - Tibo InShape - YouTubeur - Le Syndrome du personnage principal#155 - Nicolas Chartier - Aramisauto - Apprendre à être un leader#344 - Robert Plomin - Psychologue & Généticien - Et s'il était possible de prédire vos atouts dès votre naissance ?Nous avons parlé de :Hartô, la première société d'AlexandreOres Collective, l'agence de pub qu'Alexandre a montée en 2012Koober, application de résumés de livresUnion nationale des footballeurs professionnelsREMORAMakiPeopleLe rachat du Red Star par 777 PartnersEdmond Tahar, l'avocat d'AlexandreLa série “Le Club” qui plonge dans les coulisses du FC VersaillesLe film “L'enfer du dimanche”Le modèle GembaRegis MedinaLes recommandations de lecture :Humanité: Une histoire optimiste - Rutger BregmanLearning to Scale - Régis MédinaLa boulangerie Lean - Juan Antonio Tena, Emi Castro et Roberto PrioloLa stratégie Lean - Michael Ballé, Daniel Jones, Jacques Chaize, Orest FiumeRaise the BarThe Lean Turnaround Action Guide - Art ByrneSe libérer du connu - Jiddu KrishnamurtiJe rouille - Robin WatineVous pouvez contacter Alexandre sur LinkedIn ou Instagram.

Shannon Rowan discusses her fascinating book "The Red Shoes: Our Devil's Dance with Technology and How We Can Stop It" on whether digital technologies have crossed the Rubicon from being mere tools to becoming our masters and whether they may even inherently be evil. From the harms of EMF and EMR, to the effects of screen technology on children and adult internet addiction, the internet is wrecking havoc on society. She also looks at some of the mysterious DARPA origins of this technology and little known facts, such as how the CIA's MKULTRA predecessor was known as Project Bluebird, and isn't it interesting how Twitter's initial logo was a bluebird? She also covers solutions which includes "rewilding ourselves". Watch on BitChute / Brighteon / Rumble / Substack / YouTube *Support Geopolitics & Empire!

They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the hardest thing in growing a small business is having the patience and perseverance to push through the early, slow stages while learning things outside your comfort zone. He explains that growth often requires focusing on areas you don't enjoy, making tough decisions, and knowing when to let go and replace yourself in certain roles. Understanding every part of the business—even the ones you're not good at—is essential, because only then can you hire the right people and build a strong foundation for long-term success. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Dmitriy Peregudov's favorite business books include Further, Faster by Bill Flynn, which provides clear frameworks for business growth, and Delivering Happiness by Tony Hsieh, which inspired him to build a people-first company culture. He also recommends The Five Types of Wealth by Sahil Bloom for understanding balance in life and business. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Dmitriy recommends the Harvard Business Review (HBR) Podcast for case studies and expert discussions, and Lex Fridman's Podcast for deep, thought-provoking conversations that go beyond business into leadership and innovation. He also appreciates podcasts like Built to Sell Radio for real-world entrepreneurship lessons. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? He highly recommends HubSpot, calling it a game-changer for small businesses. From marketing automation to CRM and workflow management, it helped his team streamline communication, improve sales processes, and enhance customer relationships. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? According to Dmitriy Peregudov, the advice he would give himself on day one of starting out in business is simple yet powerful — “Just do it.” He believes that too many entrepreneurs hesitate, overthink, or wait for the perfect moment, but real growth happens only through action. Taking the first step, learning from mistakes, and adapting along the way are far more valuable than waiting for ideal conditions that may never come.

Kingdoms will come and go. Empires will rise and fall. But God is sovereign over all. In the end, there is nothing that can stop the Kingdom of God from crushing and dominating all earthly kingdoms. And that is good news for God’s people in exile - both in Daniel’s day, and today. In this episode of How to Study the Bible, Nicole Unice dives into the visually stunning and deeply theological chapter of Daniel 7, where Daniel’s dream of the four beasts reveals the rise and fall of earthly empires—and the unshakable rule of the Ancient of Days. Nicole explains how this vision parallels Nebuchadnezzar’s statue in Daniel 2 and points ahead to Jesus as the Son of Man, whose eternal kingdom will never be destroyed. Listeners will learn how to approach prophetic literature, understand historical context, and anchor their faith in the sovereignty of God—even when the world feels chaotic. Nicole also highlights what it means to live faithfully “in exile,” seeking the good of our communities while keeping hope fixed on Christ’s everlasting reign. Main Takeaways / Learning Points God’s sovereignty is the story behind every story. Empires rise and fall, but God’s kingdom endures forever. Prophetic visions are meant to encourage, not confuse. Daniel’s dream reassured exiles that God was still on the throne. Be faithful in exile. Like Daniel’s people, Christians today live as “foreigners and exiles” (1 Peter 2:11), called to pray for and bless their cities (Jeremiah 29). Jesus is the Son of Man. The vision in Daniel 7:13–14 directly foreshadows Christ’s eternal authority and glory. Hope wins. However dark the times or powerful the empires, evil does not get the last word—God’s justice and peace prevail.

Bob Moriarty of 321gold.com discusses the global financial situation and what gold is telling us. The West is in steep decline as it prepares for war (e.g. Latin America). Europe remains a basket case. At some point the divide between the oligarchy and plebs may become great enough that the serfs may decide to spontaneously revolt.

He came from a noble family, and was appointed military Governor of Alexandria and Egypt by the Emperor Constantine the Great. Some years later, the Emperor Julian the Apostate strove to restore pagan idolatry as the official religion of the Empire. He also entered into a war with Persia, and established Antioch as his headquarters for pursuing the war. In Alexandria, Artemius received an order to come to Antioch with the military forces under his command. Artemius reported to the apostate Emperor just in time to see him ordering the cruel execution of two pious Christians, Eugenius and Macarius. Fearlessly, St Artemius immediately denounced the Emperor, telling him to his face that his anti-Christian policy was of demonic origin. The enraged Emperor instantly had Artemius stripped of all official rank and thrown into prison. The following day, he had Artemius brought before him and promised him high Imperial office if he would only renounce Christ and worship the idols. When Artemius forcefully refused to do this, he was publicly tortured to death. A pious noblewoman secretly recovered the Saint's relics and took them to Constantinople, where they were venerated and wrought many miracles for several centuries.

In June, a sharp-suited Austrian executive from a global surveillance company told a prospective client that he could “go to prison” for organizing the deal they were discussing. But the conversation did not end there.The executive, Guenther Rudolph, was seated at a booth at ISS World in Prague, a secretive trade fair for police and intelligence agencies and advanced surveillance technology companies. Rudolph went on to explain how his firm, First Wap, could provide sophisticated phone-tracking software capable of pinpointing any person in the world. The potential buyer? A private mining company, owned by an individual under sanction, who intended to use it to surveil environmental protesters. “I think we're the only one who can deliver,” Rudolph said.What Rudolph did not know: He was talking to an undercover journalist from Lighthouse Reports, an investigative newsroom based in the Netherlands.The road to that conference room in Prague began with the discovery of a vast archive of data by reporter Gabriel Geiger. The archive contained more than a million tracking operations: efforts to grab real-time locations of thousands of people worldwide.
