In this episode of Good Morning Liberty, hosts Nate Thurston and Charles 'Chuck' Thompson dive into a range of topics from a critical review of Kanye West's controversial new song to discussions on the latest political developments. The duo speculates about a potentially earth-shattering announcement hinted at by Trump, covering both the hype and the realities of a new trade deal between the US and the UK, which includes controversial provisions like reduced tariffs on car imports and a focus on defense and pharmaceutical supply chains. They express concerns over the halted rescissions package aimed at cutting $9 billion in wasteful spending, discuss the inherent challenges of reducing governmental expenditures, and analyze the proposed budget featuring significant defense boosts. The episode wraps up with a candid exchange on the dire need for serious spending cuts and the political hurdles in achieving them.

He highlights sophisticated narco-subs shipping cocaine to Asia, Africa, and Australia, where a kilo fetches $200,000 in Saudi Arabia, and notes U.S. demand remains high despite fentanyl's dominance. Markowski questions past U.S. involvement, like CIA ties to South Central LA and guarding Afghan poppy fields, and doubts solutions like legalization or forced recovery, emphasizing that demand drives supply. He recommends Forero's article for its insight into this persistent, complex issue. www.watchdogonwallstreet.com

Futility is thy name. The Jazz are "likely" to drop to the fifth pick because we've angered the basketball gods. If Giannis was available... would that make the Jazz interesting? @almabean23 and @huutransuperman with a mammoth episode

In May's energetic forecast, Maia's Take, Maia shares that May feels deep.  It's about adulting ( we don't really like this because who wants to adult?- it's hard!) But as Maia explains it's more about adulting in a calm no drama, slightly boring way.  And, you feel accomplished.  There is also the message that runs through all of May which is fear isn't real and everything is fine.  Something becomes clear.  Something that has been troubling you or taking your energy. We also learn that something good is wanting to emerge and come into life but you are afraid of it. Maia pulls a Tarot card - Futility aka the Seven of swords. She shares the message that your fears have nothing to do with reality. Wake up and see what's really happening.  Then she pulls another card, the Princess of Wands. This card says your old fears have lost their power over you.  They're dead remains can not frighten you anymore.  Reflect on your greatest strengths.  Number 5 - completion, you're done with one piece.  Now it's time stop and celebrate that win.  And shout out to Jamie the Great whose birthday is May 18! And the rejection comes up.  You are going to realize why the rejection is redirection or protection.  Plus a bonus - Maia asked for a sign and got a Blue Heron which is our symbol for the month. Share this episode with your friends and family who love to laugh.

In this episode, I share the idea that judgment acts as a mirror, reflecting our internal beliefs and feelings. We all have our own internal representation of the world, and each person perceives the world through a unique lens shaped by experiences, values, and emotions. This leads to the realization that trying to change someone else's perspective can be a waste of energy, as they are likely operating from their own internal map of the world.  The judgments we fear from others often stem from our self-judgment. Judgment can trigger unresolved beliefs within us, and I emphasize the importance of self-compassion and forgiveness in overcoming these feelings. Reframing our triggers and approaching others with curiosity instead of criticism can foster empathy and understanding.

The effects of Futility on The Psyche: The Outcome of a Narcissistic System | Join The Conversation Call In at 323-524-2599

So today's episode is ALL about a concept that might sound super depressing at first glance, but is actually one of the most powerful tools we have for emotional growth. I'm talking about encountering futility - yep, that word you probably haven't tossed around since your college philosophy class (if ever)!What Is Futility Anyway?

Pastor Aaron Prelock continues our series in Ecclesiastes with chapter 4.

Fighting Shadows: Overcoming Futility and Finding Purpose In this powerful and personal reflection, I share the struggle of feeling like what we do is meaningless, even after hard work and success. In the midst of the rat race, we can lose sight of our true calling and fall into the trap of futility—feeling empty and wondering if anything we do really matters. But there's hope! In this video, I discuss how I've battled feelings of worthlessness and came to realize that success isn't the ultimate goal. Instead, it's about finding significance through purpose. It's about chasing a deeper calling that brings lasting impact, not just short-term achievement. I dive into the difference between success and significance and challenge you to ask yourself: Are you living for success or for something greater? Join me as I explore: - How to break free from feelings of futility - The importance of understanding your true calling - Why significance, not success, leads to fulfillment - The importance of finishing well and living with purpose This video is for anyone who feels stuck, questioning their purpose, or seeking to find deeper meaning in their work and life. It's never too late to live for significance, not success.

Happiest are those never born and there is no end to the tears of the oppressed. Calev Ben Dor shares a midrashic teaching on the tears of the oppressed, mamzerut and a moving story about Rav Ovadia Yosef. https://www.sefaria.org/Ecclesiastes.4?lang=bi

TRAPPED IN THE THREE-RING CIRCUS OF YOUR MINDYour consciousness is being hijacked right now—and you don't even realize it.While you're reading these words, an invisible tug-of-war is happening inside you. The outside world demands attention. Your thoughts race alongside. Emotions surge from nowhere. This constant pull in three directions isn't chaos—it's your default state.Michael Singer calls it the "three-ring circus," and it's the greatest magic trick ever performed: making you believe that these distractions ARE you, when in reality, they're just the show you're watching.What if everything keeping you from peace isn't something you need to fix, but something you need to stop entertaining?The truth is both simpler and more radical than most spiritual teachings dare admit: your consciousness—your true essence—is being dragged around like a dog on three leashes, and freedom isn't about gaining something new, but letting go of what never belonged to you in the first place.Ready to step outside the circus tent? Let's pull back the curtain on what's really happening in the arena of your awareness...First ring: the outside world.Everything you see, hear, feel.Open your eyes—it's there.Close them—it's gone.Your senses grab light, sound, whatever, and your mind builds the picture inside, not out there like you think.Second ring: thoughts.They're running through your head, and you're aware of them.Same consciousness that's taking in the world view - it is tracking these too.No split.You can look at something and think about it—same awareness, doing both.Third ring: emotions.Now, these aren't thoughts or thought forms.You can picture a boat in your mind, see words, hear that voice inside your head talking to you—that's thoughts.Emotions? They're different.They're vibrations, feelings, shifts in energy patterns you pick up.Not words, just raw force.But they're strong, and they latch onto your consciousness, pull it right in.So, that's the circus: the outside world you're aware of, the thoughts in your head—your mind—and the emotions coming up from your heart.Three rings, and your consciousness is stuck dealing with all of them.Here's the thing—it gets distracted by every single one.Funny how 'distraction' turns into a spiritual word, right?Deep spirituality? It's all about handling distractions.If you weren't distracted by emotions, or thoughts, or the outside world—if you could just sit still—your consciousness could drop back to its source.THE CALM LAKE REFLECTING BACK PEACE. WHEN STIRRED UP? YOU CANNOT SEE CLEARLY.The source isn't human or a “male God” manipulating the world. It's bigger, divine, universal, and always “as is” with no empotion or preference.We could dig into that later.But here's the problem: we cannot stay there. An emotion hits—boom, consciousness gets yanked to it.Thoughts kick in—'What am I supposed to do? Do I have time for this? Why'd she say that?'—and you're distracted again.Totally pulled by thoughts, emotions, objects out there shifting and moving.Your consciousness gets drawn out, away from its center, onto distracting it.Something happens outside—it sparks a thought inside, stirs up emotions.They all line up, and next thing you know, your consciousness isn't centered anymore.It's projected out onto these objects of consciousness.So this is what the three-ring circus means.In reading Living Untethered, it then balances —the witness, the three rings: senses, thoughts, emotions.The Futility of Mental Effort* The mind cannot escape itself through its own mechanisms—it's a "built-in feature." * True freedom comes from losing interest in the mind's games, not from mastering them, akin to leaving a heavy bag at the airport rather than struggling to carry it.* The body and the self are viewed as illusory, akin to a flute that doesn't play notes but allows them to pass through. * Consciousness is the underlying reality, and the self is a mental narrative claiming ownership of experiences.* This recognition negates the idea of a separate "doer" or "seer," leading to liberation from the need to seek liberation.Your absolute absence is your absolute presence... Once you start seeing this absence, it just becomes more and more obvious when you are distracted, triggered and allowing the three-ring circus. Shatter the Illusion: Question the Norms, Trust Your Inner Wisdom, and Forge Your Soul's True Path.So freeing, right? So much love to you my friend.

The English noun gospel comes from the Anglo-Saxon term godspell, meaning "glad tidings." It is translated from the Greek evangelion, which means "good message." Originally, the word was related to news of military triumph. –https://www.gotquestions.org/gospel-good-news.htmlWhile mainstream Christianity has a relatively narrow definition or view of the Good News, e.g., limited to the New Testament and only relating to the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ, a broader, more scriptural perspective exists that is less taught, if taught at all.Didn't the prophets Isaiah, Jeremiah, Ezekiel, and others preach good news? What was their good news about?If the Good News is only about the death, burial, and resurrection of Messiah Yeshua, why did He teach and preach about it? What did He say is the Good News?Is the Good News about the Messiah, or is it of the Messiah?As is his usual practice, Rabbi Steve Berkson brings a more profound understanding to this topic by allowing scripture to define itself just as he has done in his other teachings.• Opener• Review• Ephesians 4:1 – We are called to walk worthily?• Ephesians 4:2 – Who is Yahweh looking for?• Ephesians 4:3 – Can we agree to disagree?• Ephesians 4:7 – We all have been given something• Ephesians 4:8 – Yeshua went into the lower parts of the earth?• Ephesians 4:11 – The Five-Fold Ministry• Ephesians 4:12 – Understand the role you've been given• Ephesians 4:13 – They still exist, until…• Ephesians 4:14 – No longer be confused by various teachings?• The trickery of men?• Messiah's definition of unity?• Are you in a cult?• Ephesians 4:15 – The maturity dilemma?• Ephesians 4:16 – A disabled Body of Messiah?• You were called to grow up• Ephesians 4:17 – Futility of mind and hardness of heart• Ephesians 4:19 – Calloused? • Ephesians 4:20 – You have not so learned Messiah?• Ephesians 4:22 – A renewed mind?• Ephesians 4:23 – Things that pertain to maturity• Ephesians 4:29 – Corrupt communication?• Ephesians 4:30 – Sealed for redemption?• Ephesians 4:31 – Direction for maturityListen to the Afterburn tomorrowSubscribe to take advantage of new content every week.To learn more about MTOI, visit our website, https://mtoi.org.https://www.facebook.com/mtoiworldwide https://www.instagram.com/mtoi_worldwidehttps://www.tiktok.com/@mtoi_worldwide You can contact MTOI by emailing us at admin@mtoi.org or calling 423-250-3020. Join us for Shabbat Services and Torah Study LIVE, streamed on our website, mtoi.org, YouTube, and Rumble every Saturday at 1:15 p.m. and every Friday for Torah Study Live Stream at 7:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Dr. Tiffany Schatz of the Christian Medical and Dental Association addresses our culture's push to choose death via assisted suicide and euthanasia at one end and push to try to extend life through technology on the other.  But both extremes offer a false hope.  Riley Kehoe, author of "Three Seconds of Courage," shares her story of fleeing the 2004 tsunami in Thailand, and how God used it to change her life.  Faith Radio podcasts are made possible by your support.

Subject: The Futility Of Religious Ritual Speaker or Performer: R.G. Murray Scripture Passage(s): Romans 2:17-29 Date of Delivery: February 23, 2025

Wokal Distance AKA Michael Young is a cultural researcher at the Center for Renewing America. We discuss the history of American culture and counterculture—specifically how the cycle of commodified non-conformity is used to control the masses and expand the very capitalism that its proponents (originally the Critical Theorists) sought to undermine. Also, where does this leave the “ascendant” cultural right? If it's all just a cycle of faux rebellion, where is there to ascend to? The books discussed are The Rebel Sell by Andrew Heath and Joseph Potter, and The Conquest of Cool by Thomas Frank.

Making any kind of time bounded predictions about where AI will be in the year of our lord 2025 is a fools errand. But, we're suckers for this stuff, so we asked Jackie from Tribe to revise the State of AI download we did last year and orient it to what she sees coming for AI in the enterprise in the new year.No sooner did we record the conversation than OpenAI announced Stargate, Operator, and Deep Seek shot to the top of the App Store. And made the whole conversation form the week before feel dated. But dated is different than timeless and I think what Jackie does an incredible job doing is anchoring founders and executives on the timeless principles of leveraging AI to deliver ROI and unlock entirely new experiences. For this conversation, the key takeaway is that AI implementation is moving from theoretical to practical, with clear winners emerging based on their ability to drive real business value rather than just run experiments.-The AI vendor landscape is shifting from a winner-take-all market to a more competitive space, with Anthropic emerging as a serious challenger to OpenAI. Companies are increasingly comfortable switching between different AI models based on specific needs and cost considerations.-Three areas showed clear product-market fit in 2024:Enterprise ChatGPT implementationsCustomer support automationCode generation tools (with Google reportedly generating 50% of their code using AI tools)- Many companies are stuck in “POC Purgatory” - running small AI proof-of-concepts that never scale to production. The successful companies are those making real commitments and showing patience through initial iterations.-The biggest barriers to AI adoption aren't technical - they're cultural and organizational. Senior engineers and executives often resist AI tools while junior staff embrace them. Success requires leadership commitment and openness to changing how work gets done.- Private equity firms are emerging as surprising AI innovators, focusing on implementing AI in their portfolio companies to drive value. This is shifting PE's reputation from financial engineering to technological transformation.- “Agents” are becoming the dominant theme for 2025, with companies seeking to automate entire workflows rather than just individual tasks. There's growing demand for “factories of agents” that can scale automation across organizations.- The traditional lines between software and services companies are blurring. Service-heavy companies like Palantir are being valued more like software companies as they demonstrate scalable AI implementation approaches.- Marketing automation is emerging as the next major AI opportunity, with companies seeking to both reduce costs and improve ROI through automated content creation and campaign optimization.- Companies that don't move beyond experimentation risk falling permanently behind, as AI is compressing innovation cycles and creating growing gaps between leaders and laggards.This was a wild ride of a conversation with someone who's in the trenches with a wide range of enterprise customers. Her perspective and insights are invaluable. I hope you enjoy listening as much as we enjoyed recording it. And if you are looking to get started with or level up AI within your company, don't hesitate to reach out directly to Jackie at jaclyn@tribe.ai. 600+ of the best AI engineers on the planet are standing by.

We are beginning a new study in Ecclesiastes. This will be a lot of fun with a lot of depth and real talk. 

Welcome to Day 2535 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Day 2535 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 39:6-11 – Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2535 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2535 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. In today's Wisdom Nugget, we'll continue our journey through Psalm 39, focusing on verses 6 through 11 from the New Living Translation. This section of the psalm is a deeply introspective and humbling reflection from David, where he contemplates the fleeting nature of life, the futility of earthly pursuits, and the discipline of God. As we unpack these verses, we'll discover timeless truths about how to live with purpose, humility, and trust in God's eternal perspective. Let's begin by reading the passage together: Psalm 39:6-11 (NLT) 6 We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it. 7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in You. 8 Rescue me from my rebellion. Do not let fools mock me. 9 I am silent before You; I won't say a word, for my punishment is from You. 10 But please stop striking me! I am exhausted by the blows from Your hand. 11 When You discipline us for our sins, You consume like a moth what is precious to us. Each of us is but a breath. The Futility of Earthly Pursuits (Verse 6): David opens this section with a sobering observation: “We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.” This verse captures the transience of human life and the futility of striving for earthly success. David compares our lives to “moving shadows,” a metaphor that underscores how fleeting and insubstantial our existence is. The phrase “all our busy rushing” speaks to the frantic pace of life that often consumes us. We work hard, pursue goals, and accumulate possessions, but in the end, it amounts to nothing if disconnected from eternal purposes. David highlights the ultimate uncertainty of wealth, noting that we “heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.” This truth is a humbling reminder that material possessions are temporary and beyond our control. Illustration: I'm reminded of the story of a wealthy man who spent his life building an empire. He worked tirelessly to amass his fortune, but when he passed away, his children squandered his wealth within a few years, arguing over his estate. This story mirrors David's point—our earthly pursuits, no matter how impressive, can quickly fade if they lack eternal significance. It challenges us to consider: are we investing in things that last, or are we chasing shadows? A Hope Anchored in God (Verse 7): In verse 7, David shifts his focus from the futility of earthly pursuits to the foundation of true hope: “And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in You.” After...
