Charles Burton Charles Burton discusses his book, The Beaver and the Dragon, illustrating China's fundamental untrustworthiness and statistical manipulation, which has intensified under centralized leadership, noting Canada's past cooperation with China's National Bureau of Statistics (NBS) failed as officials often falsely reported data, and despite historical deception and security risks, there is a push in Canada to increase trade with China to offset trade issues with the United States, with Burton cautioning that trusting the Chinese Communist Party has always "gone badly wrong."

This sermon presents a biblically grounded framework for achieving financial peace through faithful stewardship, emphasizing that true financial health begins with spiritual alignment and obedience to Scripture. It argues that financial struggles stem not from external circumstances but from poor stewardship, lack of contentment, and disobedience to God's principles—particularly the dangers of debt, the necessity of budgeting, and the call to prioritize heavenly treasures over earthly accumulation. The message underscores that God owns all things, and believers are entrusted with managing resources wisely by working diligently, spending less than they earn, saving for emergencies, and giving generously, all while rejecting the bondage of debt and the idolatry of money. Practical steps are introduced, including calculating net worth, creating a budget, and building an emergency fund, all rooted in the conviction that financial discipline is an act of faith and a reflection of one's relationship with Christ.

This sermon, rooted in Psalm 100 and structured around the four A's of thankfulness—awareness, acknowledgement, appreciation, and action—calls believers to embrace thankfulness not as a fleeting emotion but as a disciplined, intentional practice grounded in the unmerited grace of God. It emphasizes that Christian identity is inseparable from gratitude, highlighting God's sovereignty, mercy, and eternal truth as the foundation for joy and peace, especially in a culture marked by entitlement and distraction. The preacher challenges listeners to cultivate spiritual awareness by focusing on divine goodness amid life's trials, to consciously honor God's blessings, to genuinely value them, and to respond with tangible acts of kindness, forgiveness, and service—mirroring Christ's redemptive love. Drawing from Scripture, including the story of the ten lepers and the parable of the Good Samaritan, the message underscores that true thankfulness results in transformation, compelling believers to live out their faith in practical, selfless ways. Ultimately, the sermon affirms that gratitude is both a response to God's love and a means of deepening one's relationship with Him, calling the church to be a people marked by holy joy, truth, and sacrificial love.

The sermon presents a theological and pastoral reflection on the nature of suffering, emphasizing that not all suffering stems from divine judgment, moral failure, or spiritual warfare. Drawing from Ecclesiastes and other biblical texts, it argues that suffering often results from three impersonal realities: natural disasters, accidents, and the inevitable physical entropy of aging. The preacher illustrates how events like avalanches, mudslides, lightning strikes, and structural collapses occur without regard to moral worth, underscoring that some tragedies are simply the consequence of natural laws and human fallibility. Similarly, accidents—such as falls, vehicle collisions, or workplace incidents—happen to the righteous and wicked alike, often due to human error or chance. The sermon concludes by affirming that aging and bodily decay are universal, governed by the second law of thermodynamics, and that the body's gradual decline is not a sign of divine abandonment but a reminder of human frailty. Ultimately, the message calls for humility, gratitude, and a reorientation toward worship, urging believers to recognize God's sovereignty even in the midst of inexplicable suffering.

Changing course is never easy, especially if the change requires a complete overhaul at the most basic, fundamental level. Dr. Robin "Buz" Kloot of the University of South Carolina's Arnold School of Public Health and Soil Health Labs talks with Eric, Mary, and Jeff about this paradigm shift among farmers and within the soil science community.Buz explains how the shift in thinking and paradigms occurred. In many cases, people were focused more on the symptoms rather than the cause, for instance, soil loss through erosion or poor water infiltration. Understanding the underlying cause required a whole-system approach. For Buz, an open mind to farmers' stories and experiences, and a beginner's mindset as a scientist were required to truly grasp the dynamic nature of soil.         If you are beginning your journey with soil health and cover cropping systems, the featured length Under Cover Farms video, Buz and his team produced, provides a good introduction and uplifts the initial experiences of farmers in South and North Carolina. As always, we encourage you to cooperate with other farmers, graziers, and gardeners for peer-to-peer learning and to follow the four core soil health principles: 1) Keep the soil covered -- Cover crops are our friends and allies; avoid bare fallows;2) Minimize soil disturbance -- Practice no-till or gentle tillage as much as possible in your field or garden;3) Maximize living roots year-round -- to improve biodiversity, soil structure, and life in the soil; and4) Energize with diversity -- through crop rotation, high-quality food, farm enterprises, and livestock integration. The 4 The Soil team recently commissioned a new set of art posters to help people remember the four principles of soil health and celebrate that “We Are 4 the Soil!”.  If you would like to learn about the history of the art posters and access a link to purchase an individual poster or the set of five 4 The Soil posters, please visit our recent blog post: Spreading the Message for Healthy Soil with Posters!If you have questions about soil and water conservation practices, natural resource concerns, and soil health principles and practices to restore the life in your soil, call or visit a USDA Service Center, a Virginia Soil and Water Conservation District office, or your local Virginia Cooperative Extension office.  4 the Soil: A Conversation is made possible with funding support from the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation and The Agua Fund.

“We couldn't start inkjet again if we had it in our hands because we're not meeting the rules.” That stark admission from former HP Fellow Will Allen reveals why even the most innovative companies struggle to recreate their own breakthroughs—and what it takes to actually scale disruptive technology.In this episode, Will Allen, holder of 102 US patents and the first HP Fellow promoted within HP's Global Print Business, takes us inside three decades of Silicon Valley innovation from logic analyzers to consumer inkjet printing to his current role as CTO at Kaspix, where he's pioneering ultra-low-power AI inference using analog circuits. We explore why research should be treated as investment portfolio management (not an expense to cut), how “showing beats telling” when getting buy-in for radical ideas, and why getting AI to the “true edge” – directly at sensors and actuators – will fundamentally change computing economics.What You'll Discover:[00:00] Why Research and Development Are Two Different Things→ The fatal mistake of treating R&D as a single expense line when research is actually an investment with portfolio-level returns[06:03] Has Silicon Valley Run Out of Ideas?→ Why scaling success creates the very constraints that prevent future innovation, and whether we're less innovative than decades past[10:12] The Scaling Trap That Kills Success→ Real HP story: how field-fixing problems scaled so badly that engineers couldn't design problems out, and what this means for any growing business[16:23] Getting Past the “$100 Million Question”→ How to navigate corporate demand for predictable returns when developing something the market has never seen before[18:03] “A Functioning Proto Is Worth a Thousand Pictures”→ The clownfish story: how a weekend demo got low-drop-volume printing approved after months of rejection, and the art of communicating on stakeholders' terms[21:16] Signal Spotting and Fundamental vs Killer Apps→ Will's framework for distinguishing noise from transformational trends—and why asking “what's the killer app?” might be the wrong question[24:47] Kaspix and the True Edge→ Why analog circuits for AI inference could be as transformative as the mouse, enabling intelligence directly at transducers without memory-compute bottlenecks[29:56] Where AI Is Actually Heading→ Beyond the hype: specialized AIs, “AI middle management,” and why rapid societal change from deterministic technology creates uncomfortable transitions[36:04] The Advice Will Would Give His Younger Self→ Why leaders who invested years in education suddenly think quarterly, and how to reclaim the long-term thinking that got you thereAbout Will Allen:Will Allen is CTO at Kaspix, pioneering ultra-low-power AI inference through analog circuit design.

Preaching Service The sermon centers on the transformative power of gratitude as a disciplined, biblical response to God's unchanging truth and faithfulness, rooted in Scripture such as 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18 and expanded through passages like Philippians 4 and Lamentations 3. It calls believers to reject emotionalism and self-centeredness, instead embracing a posture of thankfulness in all circumstances—whether in prosperity or suffering—as a means of accepting the present moment, maintaining spiritual integrity, and resisting deception. The message emphasizes that gratitude is not merely an emotion but a practice that brings peace, contentment, strengthened faith, joy, and a powerful testimony, ultimately glorifying God and advancing His kingdom. The preacher urges the congregation to live out this discipline daily, not for human approval but for divine honor, and invites both believers and seekers to respond in faith and thanksgiving.

The sermon centers on the biblical principle of servant leadership, emphasizing that true leadership is defined not by power or status, but by a commitment to the growth and discipleship of others. Drawing from Scripture, particularly 3 John 1:1–4 and Jesus' call to follow Him, it underscores that Christian leadership is rooted in humility, love, and self-sacrifice, with the ultimate goal of helping others walk in truth. The message highlights four transformative outcomes of serving others: refocusing the mind away from self, becoming a doer of God's Word, joining God in His redemptive work, and experiencing inner transformation that aligns the heart with Christ's. It calls believers to move beyond passive faith, to embrace practical obedience, and to invest in others—especially the young, the broken, and the lost—knowing that such service carries eternal significance and reflects the very nature of Christ's ministry.

This sermon presents a comprehensive theological framework for understanding suffering, rooted in the biblical narrative from Genesis to Revelation. It begins by establishing that suffering did not originate with God, who declared creation 'very good,' but arose from the rebellion of Satan, the selfishness of humanity, and the pervasive reality of sin, all of which brought divine judgment and a cursed creation. Rather than viewing suffering as a sign of God's absence or injustice, the message reframes it as a divinely orchestrated means through which believers are strengthened, sanctified, and equipped for service. The sermon highlights twelve redemptive purposes of suffering, including the development of spiritual sufficiency, sanctification, service, emotional and mental resilience, and the promise of future glory, culminating in the ultimate restoration described in Revelation where all pain will be erased. Ultimately, suffering is portrayed not as an end in itself, but as a transformative tool that shapes character, deepens faith, and prepares believers for eternal reward and reign with Christ.
