"When you're blessed, it's very important to look back and give back and bless others." "If you're a leader and you're not creating more leaders, something is wrong with your leadership." "You cannot be what you cannot see." "Everybody can teach you something if you're, if you're teachable and willing to learn." "With everything you're doing, you've got to ask yourself, 'How am I growing every day?' And you got to reflect and ask yourself, 'How am I better? How will I be better tomorrow?' And if you're not reflecting, you're not growing, and you're stuck in the same thing." "If you are a leader and you have a great message, but you cannot communicate it, and people can't receive it, then you're going nowhere as a leader." "Success for me is how many people I have impacted and brought along on this journey, because we are on this journey of inspiring each other. We're on a journey. And it's not, did we get to the destination." "Your role as a leader is not positional. Your role is to serve others, is to bring others along. It's, 'I'm in this position because I want to bring others along,' and I'm humble enough to understand that I may not know it all, and there's going to be people that I am leading that would know more than I do. But it's about how we complement each other's strengths, to be able to to work together and bring each other along." "If you're not learning every day, then you're not growing every day. It's just kind of like a banana. If you're green, you grow. If you're ripe, you rot." BOOKS MENTIONED: Straight from the Gut by Jack Welch and John A.

I have long had an interest in both the Keswick movement and the East Africa Revival. Dr Robinson Kariuki Mwangi's doctoral research brings the two together. His book is The Influence of Early Keswick Theology of Sanctification in the Socio-ethical Life of the East African Revival Movement: A Missional Perspective (Langham Academic, 2025). In this episode I frame my questions as an interested observer to allow Dr. Mwangi to explain his findings. The issue is this. Sanctification is an essential part of every Christian life. But how do its differing theologies shape our Christian walk and wider socio-ethic contexts? Grounded in the East Africa Revival Movement (EARM), this work seeks to answer how the Keswick theology of sanctification contributes to the socio-ethical understanding of "walking in the light" and consequently influences the mission of the Anglican Church in the Mount Kenya region. Dr. Mwangi uses exegetical analysis to understand the biblical roots of revival and sociological surveys and focus groups to understand how adherents of revival have developed in this region of Kenya. Scholars of theology and lived Christianity will find the observations in this work informative for further study. Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on Sibling Watchery, Bob and Monét break down Season 18, Episode 4, and ask the question: Is Drag Race unwatchable? They get into the workroom beef between Briar, Athena, and Mia, and question exactly who Juicy's best friend is. They talk about whether queens should care what the others think, how much help Juicy is getting in challenges, and Kenya's colorful coming out story. On the runway, they review the red carpet mashup challenge, compare team looks to decide who wore it best, discuss padding and silhouette, and react to Briar's dramatic judging moment. Plus, Bob predicts who might quietly sneak into the top five, and they name their favorite and least favorite looks of the week. Thanks to our sponsors: -Philo's a better way to slay!

The WHO covered up on behalf of the ChiComms and pushes a leftist globalist agenda.

He says Moderna no longer expects to invest in new Phase 3 vaccine studies anytime soon because it no longer has access to the U.S. market.

January is marked worldwide as cervical cancer awareness month. According to the World Health Organisation, cervical cancer is one of the most preventable types of cancer, yet it kills over 350,000 women globally every year. We look at how Kenya, where more than half of those diagnosed die within a year, is approaching the disease; and how Botswana manages to keep prevalence low.

In this episode, we discuss recent developments at Elephant Sanctuary Brazil (ESB) following the deaths of Pupy and Kenya, the sanctuary's two female African elephants, in 2025.As we have seen in recent weeks, we are living in a time that is exposing a troubling side of our society — one where false and negative claims are more readily accepted than positive truth, and where it often seems easier to believe accusations of manipulation and corruption than to accept that honesty and integrity exist. In this conversation, we examine how anti-sanctuary narratives and the temporary suspension of ESB's license to bring in new elephants have emerged in this climate — and why the impact extends beyond elephants, affecting wider wildlife rescue and rehabilitation efforts.At the same time, we explore why this difficult moment may also present an opportunity: to bring clarity through evidence-based review, and to highlight the vital — and too often misunderstood and ignored — responsibility sanctuaries around the world take on when they accept elderly, chronically ill, and end-of-life elephants into their care.We urge supporters to sign and share our petition calling for fair, transparent, and equal standards — ensuring that Elephant Sanctuary Brazil and zoos in Brazil are assessed by the same regulatory criteria.What we know so far about Pupy & Kenya's passingTransparency and Accountability for AllThe episode transcript can be found here.Email: We'd love to hear from you podcast@globalelephants.orgWho we are: Global Sanctuary for Elephants exists to create vast, safe spaces for captive elephants, where they are able to heal physically and emotionally. There are elephants around the world in need of sanctuary, but too few places exist to be able to care for even a fraction of the elephants. International support is necessary to build sanctuaries for elephants in need of rescue and rehabilitation.

Willis Chimano is one of Kenya's biggest pop stars. With the boyband Sauti Sol, he's won a string of awards and even danced with President Barack Obama. But behind the success, Chimano had a secret: being gay in a country where gay sex is criminalised and people who identify as LGBT+ can experience violence and harassment. Since his childhood, Chimano had been hiding his sexuality but then in 2018 he was outed. Suddenly his career stood its toughest test as he was caught in a media frenzy and dealing with exposure that threatened to derail his entire life - and his relationship with his conservative family. But Chimano emerged from the storm as role model for LGBT+ people, becoming Kenya's most famous openly gay singer.His memoir is called Heavy is the Crown.Presenter: Mobeen Azhar Producers: Maryam Maruf and June ChristieLives Less Ordinary is a podcast from the BBC World Service that brings you the most incredible true stories from around the world. Each episode a guest shares their most dramatic, moving, personal story.

A deep dive into the Basketball Africa League's impact on sports, culture, talent development, and media, featuring insights from BAL President Amadou Gallo Fall and NBA Africa CEO Clare Akamanzi. In 2019, a longtime dream for many became a reality when the National Basketball Association (NBA) committed to launching the Basketball Africa League (BAL). With 12 teams from the continent representing nations including Kenya, Nigeria, Egypt, and Rwanda, the league would showcase the diversity of culture, talent, and love for basketball across Africa while providing a pathway for youth to play professionally in their own nation. One of the dreamers to realize the opportunity was Amadou Gallo Fall, the former scouting director of the Dallas Mavericks and a lifelong champion of sport in Africa. Fall's work prior to the BAL is seen in the creation of a basketball academy in his native Senegal, working with the NBA's Basketball Without Borders program, and his former position as the NBA's managing director for Africa. As plans for the BAL start to move ahead, one of Fall's Basketball Without Borders colleagues, and former director of the program, would join the movement: beloved former Raptors General Manager Masai Ujiri, also the first African general manager in US professional sports history. Together, Fall, Ujiri, and many others would work to make the seemingly impossible possible. Featuring interviews from many supporters of the BAL, including rapper J. Cole (who played in the BAL's inaugural season), NBA superstar Stephen Curry, and former US President Barack Obama, Origin showcases the vast network of advocates who came together to make the ambitious endeavour a reality. Co-directors Richard Brown and Tebogo Malope highlight the diversity of the continent, the passion of the players, and the universal language that is love of the game.

Kristen Welch is an author, speaker, and the founder of Mercy House Global, but her story is shaped less by achievement and more by surrender. Raised in a generous, Christian home, Kristen followed God's lead into ministry, writing, and motherhood. Her love for writing led her into the early Christian mom-blogging world where she found community and influence, but it was a 2010 blogging trip to Kenya with Compassion International that unsettled her faith and reordered her calling. That encounter became the catalyst for Mercy House Global and for a lifelong journey of learning what it means to say yes to God with open hands.   Through Mercy House, Kristen has spent the past fifteen years walking alongside vulnerable women and families through job creation, orphan prevention, and discipleship, both globally and locally. Along the way, she has learned that generosity and ministry busyness without intimacy with God can quietly hollow out the soul. Her story reflects the cost of faithful work, the danger of doing for God without being with Him, and the grace God offers through rest, repentance, and renewed friendship with Him.   This conversation invites all of us to reflect on how God calls us to slow down, reorient our hearts, and rediscover satisfaction in His presence while living generously.   Major Topics Include: Generosity in hospitality Obedience through small, faithful yeses Using influence for Kingdom purpose Serving without losing intimacy with God The danger of doing for God without being with God Identity rooted in sonship, not productivity Parenting through embodied generosity Slowing down to practice God's presence QUOTES TO REMEMBER “Just do the next right thing.” “We were always looking for ways to use what we had for the gospel of hospitality.” “The opportunity to use the writing skill and the blog platform for God's glory really became a sweet spot for me and it changed my life.” “I will spend the rest of my life answering the question, ‘what am I doing to help the vulnerable in our communities and in our world?'” “God used the poor to help me find Him in a new way.” “God doesn't need us to do any of this, He invites us to do it.” “Being with God is the best use of our time.” “It is not a waste of time to spend time with God.” “When we live as generous people, our kids will too.” LINKS FROM THE SHOW Mercy House Global Kristen Welch's Website Raising Grateful Kids in an Entitled World by Kristen Welch Raising World Changers in a Changing World by Kristen Welch Compassion International When Helping Hurts (see our interview with coauthor Brian Fikkert) Women Doing Well (see our interview with president Julie Wilson) The Finish Line Community Facebook Group The Finish Line Community LinkedIn Group BIBLE REFERENCES FROM THE SHOW Revelation 3:20 | Christ's Invitation to Intimacy   Behold, I stand at the door and knock.

A new dawn has beckoned upon Kenya as 2025 steadily grinds to a halt. We Are Loud Festival is who. Rock aficionados are about to experience something akin to Green Day making a pitstop to East Africa, without making a big fuss off it. The festival will bring forth an unapologetic mix of rock, punk, proto-punk, skate culture, and underground energy in a four-day sonic explosion, a first of its kind in the country.

"They were tired of losing women in childbirth."Last year, one of the US's top diplomats said that Africa is the world's largest untapped market… and Africa should be among the US's largest trading partners. This time, it's not just about aid. It's about business. And we were wondering what that might mean in practice. In November last year, the US Department of State made an important announcement: the U.S. committed up to $150 million dollars to a partnership with Zipline. Zipline designs, manufactures, and operates delivery drones. These currently fly in Cote d'Ivoire, Kenya, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ghana. And they're saving lives.

Un an après la bataille de Goma, quelle est la réalité du contrôle exercé sur la ville par l'AFC/M23, soutenu par Kigali ? Comment le groupe AFC/M23 se finance-t-il ? Et quelles perspectives de paix, alors que les initiatives diplomatiques — qui se multiplient — n'ont que peu d'effet sur le terrain ? Zobel Behalal, expert senior à l'Initiative mondiale contre le crime organisé transnational et ancien membre du panel d'experts des Nations unies sur la RDC, répond aux questions de Florence Morice. RFI : Il y a un an, lors de la chute de Goma, beaucoup d'analystes affirmaient que le M23 n'avait pas les moyens de gouverner la ville. Un an plus tard, peut-on dire que l'on s'était trompé ? Zobel Behalal : Oui, évidemment, on s'était trompé il y a un an. Parce qu'aujourd'hui, le mouvement non seulement contrôle la ville, mais il a étendu son pouvoir sur d'autres territoires, et notamment sur la province du Sud-Kivu. De quelle manière est-ce qu'il contrôle la ville, concrètement ? Le M23, toujours soutenu massivement par le Rwanda, a installé une administration parallèle avec des gouverneurs qui ont été nommés dans les provinces du Sud et du Nord-Kivu, des administrateurs du territoire. Il a installé un système de taxation assez bien huilé. Le M23 contrôle également des territoires stratégiques de production minière, qui sont une source d'enrichissement assez considérable pour lui. Et ensuite, ce qu'il faut noter, c'est que le M23 contrôle cinq postes frontaliers stratégiques, notamment avec le Rwanda et l'Ouganda. Comment le M23 finance-t-il cette administration parallèle ? Essentiellement par ces taxes et le contrôle des ressources minières ? On a vu une nomenclature des taxes assez bien élaborée par le mouvement, qui concerne aussi bien le mariage, le transfert d'un corps, que la traversée d'une frontière, l'exploitation d'un site minier. Donc ça couvre vraiment toute l'activité économique et sociale des territoires sous son contrôle et cela rapporte énormément d'argent au mouvement. Il faut aussi comprendre que le M23 ne dépense pas beaucoup d'argent pour ses troupes. Les soldats, pour la plupart, sont très peu payés, ils reçoivent un entretien journalier pour leur nutrition, donc ceux-ci se sucrent sur le dos de la population et l'essentiel de l'argent collecté par le M23 va dans les poches de ses cadres politiques et militaires. Avant la chute de Goma, le M23 contrôlait déjà d'importants sites miniers. C'était le cas, par exemple, de Rubaya. Qu'est-ce qui a changé depuis un an ? Est-ce qu'ils ont mis la main sur de nouveaux sites stratégiques ? Depuis la chute de Goma, le M23 a étendu son contrôle sur des sites miniers, notamment dans la province du Sud-Kivu, des sites miniers de production d'or et de ce qu'on appelle la wolframite, ce qui constitue des sources de revenus importantes pour le mouvement. Il a continué à maintenir son contrôle sur les routes d'exportation des minerais de coltan exploités à Rubaya vers le Rwanda. Donc tout cet argent rentre dans les caisses du mouvement, mais profite surtout aux cadres politiques, aux cadres militaires et évidemment aux pays qui soutiennent le M23. Quels sont les pays qui bénéficient de ces ressources ? On a suffisamment d'informations et de preuves pour attester du soutien massif du Rwanda vis-à-vis du M23 et on sait que ce soutien rapporte énormément d'argent au Rwanda. Les statistiques du Rwanda d'exportation du coltan sur la période de janvier à juin 2025 sont 200 % supérieures à ce que c'était à la même période en 2024. Et on sait aussi qu'il y a des pays qui profitent de manière passive de la présence du M23, notamment les flux commerciaux et économiques entre le M23 et le Congo et l'Ouganda. Il y a également des pays un peu plus lointains, comme le Kenya et la Tanzanie. Prenons un exemple, celui du commerce du carburant. Aujourd'hui, à Goma, le carburant est sous le contrôle des proches du général Makenga, qui est le chef militaire du M23, et ses proches ont un monopole sur l'importation du carburant qui vient de pays comme le Kenya. Donc ça enrichit des réseaux qui, de manière passive ou indirecte, contribuent à financer le mouvement et profitent également de cette économie illicite. Depuis un an, les initiatives diplomatiques se multiplient, mais on a le sentiment qu'elles ont peu d'effet sur le terrain. Pour quelle raison, selon vous ? Il y a eu une forte mobilisation diplomatique qui est appréciable. Mais ce qu'on constate aujourd'hui, c'est qu'il y a un élément qui structure cette guerre, il y a un élément qui constitue son carburant, c'est l'exploitation des ressources naturelles. Donc l'angle mort des principaux processus de paix, c'est qu'ils ne prennent pas suffisamment en compte cet aspect qui pourtant représente un moyen de pression sur les différents acteurs pour les obliger à se mettre autour de la table pour discuter. Mais le processus de Washington et l'accord-cadre qui a été signé en fin d'année dernière aux États-Unis prétend justement placer cette dimension économique et l'organisation économique régionale au cœur des discussions. Autant on se félicite du fait que les Américains aient mis sur la table cette dimension économique, autant on reste encore sur notre faim sur les mesures concrètes qui vont véritablement résoudre le problème dans sa profondeur. On a plutôt l'impression que ce processus pourrait représenter une prime à l'ambition expansionniste de certaines parties. Il pourrait représenter une source d'enrichissement des réseaux criminels préexistants. Donc il faut commencer par créer des conditions pour que ces personnes n'accèdent plus à ces ressources naturelles. Et c'est l'angle mort, comme je le disais, de ces processus de paix. Donc le M23, et ? Le M23, les pays voisins comme le Rwanda… Et il faut reconnaître aussi que, aujourd'hui, dans l'exploitation illicite des ressources naturelles, les réseaux criminels se recrutent au sein de l'élite politique, sécuritaire de tous les pays, y compris du Congo. On n'a pas d'éléments qui nous permettent de dire aujourd'hui que ces élites au Congo, au Rwanda et dans les autres pays, ne continueront pas à tirer les ficelles lorsque ces contrats seront appliqués. Tout récemment, l'Angola, qui semblait sorti des processus de négociation, a relancé des consultations et plaide pour un dialogue national. Est-ce que cette nouvelle initiative de Luanda est porteuse d'espoir selon vous ? L'initiative angolaise est potentiellement une évolution positive, car si la crise du M23 s'inscrit dans une dynamique géo-criminelle, où des États instrumentalisent le crime transnational organisé à des fins économiques et financières, il faut reconnaître que cette crise prospère aussi parce qu'elle s'ancre dans des faiblesses structurelles profondes que seuls les Congolais eux-mêmes ont la capacité et le devoir de traiter. Donc un dialogue intercongolais, qui va discuter du partage des richesses, de la forme de l'État, de comment faire nation, de la lutte contre l'impunité, me semble bienvenu.

Two former international educators, Nick and Joy Owens, lay out what a lot of teachers secretly want to know: how to keep global education alive without staying trapped in the classroom forever. Their story runs through Taiwan, Honduras, Alaska, Arizona, and back to the U.S., and it's packed with the real-world stuff teachers actually deal with, like credential renewal, licensure headaches, Praxis retakes, and the post-COVID classroom burnout that can make even great teachers start plotting their escape.Nick describes getting started overseas in Taiwan after the 2008–2009 recession knocked his U.S. job out from under him, beginning with an intense English-immersion “summer camp” style program before moving into a growing school environment where he taught science and even launched AP-level courses. Joy's path begins with growing up in Zambia and schooling in Kenya, then jumping into teaching in Honduras with zero classroom experience, learning the hard way that classroom management is not optional, and later earning a master's in ESL before landing in Taiwan where she and Nick met.A big theme: teachers abroad can't ignore home-country paperwork. The conversation gets practical about how quickly licenses lapse and how painful it is to recover (including re-testing) if you let it slide. Then the episode pivots into their current chapter: they bought and now run Butler Travel, a teacher-informed travel agency that builds custom, education-focused student tours (not cookie-cutter packages), including options like homestays, local expert guides, service learning, and clear “all-in” pricing that parents can understand without getting ambushed by extra fees.They also talk through what actually makes student travel educational: structured learning goals, space for reflection, and the uncomfortable truth that too much downtime creates chaos, but zero downtime creates misery. Along the way you get a memorable safari lesson about risk awareness… via animal poop identification, because humans apparently need comedy to learn anything.Butler Travel contact mentioned in the episode: website butlertravel.com and their planning guide at butlertravel.com/plan.Stats Nick cites (attributed to “Wise Travel Federation” in the conversation):Students who travel show 59% improved grades95% graduation rate among students who participated in trips86% higher intellectual curiosity80% higher motivation and engagement[00:00] The Role of JP Mint Consulting[01:48] Nick and Joy's International Teaching Experiences[04:55] Cultural Shifts and Challenges in Teaching Abroad[07:53] Navigating Credentialing and Re-credentialing[10:47] The Importance of Keeping Credentials Updated[13:50] From Teaching to Travel: A New Journey[15:46] The Impact of Travel on Education[23:01] Customizing Educational Travel Experiences[30:53] Butler Travel: Tailored Tours for Teachers[39:12] Enriching Experiences with Local Expertise[40:03] Navigating Travel Logistics During Crisis[42:54] The Importance of Flexibility in Travel Planning[45:37] Understanding Educational Travel Needs[48:16] Memorable Travel Experiences and Stories[52:31] Essential Items for International Travel[55:54] Final Thoughts on Educational TravelAdditional Gems Related to Our Show:Greg's Favorite Video From Living Overseas - ⁠https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQWKBwzF-hw⁠Signup to be our guest  ⁠https://calendly.com/itpexpat/itp-interview?month=2025-01⁠Our Website⁠ -  ⁠https://www.itpexpat.com/⁠Our FaceBook Group - ⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/itpexpat⁠⁠JPMint Consulting Website  - ⁠https://www.jpmintconsulting.com/⁠Greg's Personal YouTube Channel: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLs1B3Wc0wm6DR_99OS5SyzvuzENc-bBdO⁠Books By Gregory Lemoine:⁠International Teacher Guide: Finding the "Right Fit" 2nd Edition (2025)⁠⁠⁠"International Teaching: The Best-kept Secret in Education"⁠⁠

I've been hoping to inspire you to ask God to give you a vision—so you rise above mediocrity and soar to the heights for which God created you. What does a vision look like? Here are five signs to help you identify your God-given vision: Sign Number 1 – It won't go away. As you pray about it, it gets stronger, not weaker. Sign Number 2 – There is a need for it. Sign Number 3 – God will open doors for you. You will see some small and/or large miracles as God opens these doors. You will be amazed, frightened, awestruck, and excited. Sign Number 4 – Your spiritual leader(s) will encourage you. Sign Number 5 – God will give you the right people to help you. Elsy Riungu was my friend in Nairobi, Kenya. Many years ago, at our conference there I spoke on the topic of asking God for a vision. As always, Elsy took to heart what she heard. She prayed about it and then began a ministry to help save marriages. She rented a venue near her home—with money she didn't have to spare—and started a monthly meeting for couples. She got speakers, planned the programs, advertised and invited, and for several years she continued this ministry. After she began, she wrote: “Couples ministry is running well, as we meet once a month. It is exciting to minister to mostly young couples. I have had three separate marriages, and after counselling, two of them are restored and enjoying their union. My desire this year is to reach families in the rural areas, where the need is enormous. Pray for me.” She had no money, no support system backing her up. God gave her a vision, and she was obedient to it. And she was filled with joy to be doing what God called her to do. Are you willing to ask for a vision? It begins with prayer, but at some point, you must put feet to your prayer. Start walking through open doors and just keep taking the next right step. Remember, when it comes to pursuing your vision: If you don't go for it, it will fade, and you'll miss the blessing. Use it or lose it. The more you pursue God's vision for you, the more ability and gifts you will have to do it. God will stretch you and gift you like you've never dreamed. But this won't happen until you take the first step.

Les civils d'Uvira sont exposés à de graves risques d'abus… C'est l'alerte lancé dans le nouveau rapport de l'ONG HRW. Uvira, ville du Sud-Kivu, avait été prise par les rebelles de l'AFC/M23 mi-décembre, juste après la signature de l'accord de paix de Washington. Sous pression diplomatique, les rebelles se sont retirés. La ville est désormais aux mains des autorités congolaises…

Can science actually PROVE God exists? Dr. Antony Latham joins us to explore how the cosmos, consciousness, and the complexity of life all point to divine design—and why the Big Bang might be Christianity's best friend.In this episode of Remnant Radio, Joshua Lewis sits down with retired physician and author Dr. Antony Latham to tackle one of the most critical questions facing believers today: Does science contradict Christian faith, or does it actually confirm it? From his own journey as a teenage skeptic who lost faith studying evolution to becoming a Christian in Kenya and diving deep into biology, consciousness, and cosmology, Antony brings a unique perspective that bridges the gap between the lab and the sanctuary.​What We Discuss:-The Big Bang & Biblical Creation -Fine-Tuning of the Universe-The Cambrian Explosion-Consciousness & the Soul -Moral Law & Objective Beauty -Miracles & an Open Universe Whether you're wrestling with doubts about faith and science, or you're looking for solid apologetic tools to strengthen your biblical worldview, this conversation will equip you with evidence-based answers rooted in both Scripture and scientific discovery. 0:00 - Introduction1:04 - From Skeptic to Scientist to Believer5:13 - Big Bang: Friend or Foe to Christian Faith?9:20 - Fine-Tuning Arguments & Cosmological Evidence12:17 - String Theory & Multiple Universe Objections14:03 - The Exquisite Precision of Universal Constants15:37 - God of the Gaps Argument Addressed17:04 - Origin of Life & Irreducible Complexity19:30 - Old Earth Creation & Genesis Interpretation22:56 - The Cambrian Explosion & Fossil Record28:03 - Reading Genesis 1 Poetically & Theologically31:17 - Consciousness & Evidence for the Immaterial Soul35:17 - Moral Objectivity, Beauty, & Free Will41:02 - Mind-Body Dualism & Christian Worldview43:03 - Taking Back Science for the KingdomABOUT THE GUEST:

The event will take place on the 12th of February 7pm at the Malone Lodge.  Kitson Praises Paras in BallymurphyI recently came across the autobiography of British General Sir Frank Kitson which was published last year shortly after his death. It is titled ‘Intelligent Warfare' an oxymoron in any language. In truth it is an account of British military failures through several colonial wars in which Kitson fought, including in Ireland. It is also a reflection of Kitson's enormous personal ego.Kitson came to prominence within the British military hierarchy in the 1950s during its efforts to crush the independence rebellion in Kenya. He established counter-gangs that tortured and killed Kenyan civilians. The groups were made up of British soldiers, including Kitson on occasion, and former members of those fighting against British rule. Tens of thousands of Kenyans ended up in over 150 detention camps where they were brutalized. An estimated 30,000 Kenyans were killed; one and a half million were interned; torture was commonplace and 1090 were hanged.While Kitson boasts of his role in the counter-gangs he ignores the human rights violations that underpinned British strategy in that African country.In 1970 he took command of the 39th Brigade – which covered Belfast and surrounding region. In the same year he published ‘Low Intensity Operations' which quickly became the standard text book for the British Army's counter-insurgency strategy in the following decades. A Raffle for Jim Fitzpatrick limited edition printThe Moore Street Preservation Trust is raffling our hugely popular Elizabeth O'Farrell print - a unique, framed print designed and signed by the renowned Irish artist Jim Fitzpatrick.

In this winsome study, Ephesiology offers readers a comprehensive view of the empowering work of the Holy Spirit in the most significant city of the New Testament, and compels us to ask the question: how can we effectively connect Christ to our culture? “Masterfully handling the book of Ephesians and using its content as a definitive guide, Michael Cooper lays a theologically strong foundation that is both corrective and directive to disciple making movements. The principles he gleans from the book of Ephesians and related texts, help to ensure the on-going multiplication and maturation of a movement. Because these are supra-cultural principles, they are applicable anywhere in the world.” Marvin J. Newell, Staff Missiologist, Missio Nexus, Author of Crossing Cultures in Scripture Buy This Now!

After October 7, stories about Israeli humanitarian aid can sound like hasbara—a Hebrew term for public diplomacy or advocacy meant to improve Israel's image. So in Part 1 of this two-part series, Noam Weissman asks a harder question: why does Israel keep rushing into disaster zones, often at real risk and with little strategic payoff? The episode traces Israel's early “soft diplomacy” under Ben-Gurion and Golda Meir, then turns to IsraAid, Israel's leading humanitarian NGO, through its work in drought-stricken Kenya and a daring evacuation during Afghanistan's 2021 collapse. Next week, the story continues when Noam explores what happens when Israeli aid enters Gaza—and the moral and societal tensions that follow.

My guest on today's episode, James Copple, the President of Servant Forge and founder of The Freedom Fast, is a leader committed to fostering unity through actionable change. James's work in police reform and civic engagement offers a blueprint for addressing systemic issues and healing divides within our communities.James shared a compelling example of how his work has impacted the nation. Six months before the murder of George Floyd, James and his team produced a report in Minnesota on police use of deadly force. “It was about policing procedure and protocol,” James explained, sharing how their research highlighted the urgent need for de-escalation training. Following Floyd's death, James and his team were invited back to help implement their recommendations, working with policymakers to improve training and minimize future tragedies.One of James's newest initiatives, The Freedom Fast, aims to address the country's growing polarization. Inspired by historical calls for national fasting during the Continental Congress, the Freedom Fast encourages Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of service. “We're calling for a sacred pause for civic renewal,” James said. “It's about recapturing the values that brought us together as a country and influenced our civic discourse.”James's vision is rooted in the belief that dialogue is key to progress. “Getting people in the same room, even when they don't agree, is essential,” he shared. This approach—proximity and listening—has been central to his work, from police reform projects in Minneapolis and Kenya to initiatives aimed at reducing gender-based violence in East Africa.If you're inspired by James's vision and want to be part of the solution, visit TheFreedomFast.us to learn more. By taking part in this initiative, we can collectively work toward a more unified, compassionate, and equitable future.tl;dr:James Copple reveals key insights from his work on police reform and de-escalation training.The Freedom Fast calls for Americans to pause, reflect, and engage in acts of civic renewal.James emphasizes the importance of bringing people together to solve problems through dialogue.Stories from Kenya and Minneapolis illustrate how dialogue can drive meaningful change.James shares tips for fostering civility and connection, including listening and creating proximity.How to Develop Facilitating Dialogue As a SuperpowerJames's superpower lies in bringing people together to solve difficult problems through dialogue and understanding. As he explained, “Getting people in the same room and getting them to agree to have the conversation” is vital. He emphasized the importance of listening, saying, “Listening is a form of fasting… to surrender my own principles and values for a few moments to listen to another person's perspective.” This ability to foster connection and encourage open discussions has been central to James's work in both the U.S. and globally.James shared a powerful example from his work in Kenya, where 70% of women believed men had a right to hit them. He brought together male leaders from universities and businesses with women's advocacy groups to discuss gender-based violence. This dialogue led to concrete solutions like including women in decision-making processes and leadership roles. James's ability to create proximity and facilitate understanding directly contributed to meaningful change in a community struggling with entrenched cultural norms.Tips for Developing the Superpower:Engage and Be Present: Show up for conversations, even when topics are difficult or divisive.Listen Actively: Dedicate time to truly hear others' perspectives without judgment or interruption.Foster Proximity: Create opportunities for people with differing views to engage in the same room.Sacrifice for the Greater Good: Be willing to let go of time, comfort, or preconceived notions to achieve progress.By following James's example and advice, you can make facilitating dialogue a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJames E Copple (he/him):President, Servant Forge/The Freedom FastAbout Servant Forge/The Freedom Fast: Servant Forge works with organizations to build their capacity to secure funding to help fulfill their mission.

Ever lie awake at night replaying all the moments you lost it with your kids, your partner, or your co-workers? You're not alone. Bart van Melik is back on the show (his first appearance was four years ago) as our Teacher of the Month for January. Bart has one of the more interesting origin stories in the meditation world: from a small town in the Netherlands to Kenya on an exchange program (where he met his wife of 30 years), to studying in Thailand, to teaching meditation to teenagers in juvenile detention in the South Bronx. In this conversation with executive producer DJ Cashmere, we talk about: The difference between being mindful and knowing you're mindful (and why this matters when your 11-year-old is pushing every button) Why awareness feels like protection How to stop the cycle of: snap, regret, repeat What Bart learned teaching meditation to kids in juvie who told him his meditation was "lit" Why your kids might be your fiercest Zen teachers The surprising power of saying "no" without aversion How everything actually goes faster when you stop rushing His favorite teaching from a modern-day monk: "Keep calmly knowing change" Related Resources: Bart's previous episode on insight dialogue and relational meditation practice New guided meditations from Bart available throughout January Join Dan's online community here Follow Dan on social: Instagram, TikTok Subscribe to our YouTube Channel To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/10HappierwithDanHarris
