Gaming hosts Josh, Ryan and John debate something that's been simmering for years—who actually deserved Game of the Year? In this episode, we look back at GOTY winners and nominees from the past decade and make our case for which games should've taken home the crown. Was Sekiro really the best video in game in 2019? Did It Takes Two deserve to beat Metroid Dread and Resident Evil in one of gamings most mediocre years? And was Elden Ring truly unstoppable in 2022? We break down the biggest video game surprises, the most controversial wins, and the snubs that still haunt us.

Nous sommes au cœur de la Rome antique. Esculape est le dieu de la médecine. Lorsqu'il en ressent le besoin, le patient se rend au temple et se soumet à une cure qui consiste à boire une eau réputée susciter des rêves. Il s'endort. Esculape lui apparaît alors et lui fait ses recommandations. Plusieurs témoignages nous assurent de la guérison du malade. Ainsi celui-ci : « En ces jours, le dieu révéla à Gaius, un homme aveugle, qu'il devait aller à la base sacrée, et s'y prosterner. Ensuite, il devait retourner de droite vers la gauche, placer ses cinq doigts sur la base, lever sa main et la placer sur les yeux. Et il put, à nouveau, voir clairement, alors que le peuple, qui se trouvait à côté, se réjouissait que des événements glorieux se produisent à nouveau sous notre Empereur Antonin. A Lucius, qui souffrait de pleurésie et avait perdu tout espoir chez les hommes, le dieu révéla qu'il devait aller et prendre des cendres du triple autel et les mélanger avec du vin et les placer sur son flanc. Et il fut sauvé (…) A Julianos, qui crachait du sang, et avait été abandonné par tous les hommes, le dieu révéla qu'il devait aller prendre sur le triple autel des fruits d'un cône de pin, et les manger pendant trois jours avec du miel. Et il fut sauvé, revint et offrit publiquement ses remerciements en face du peuple. » Comment les Romains pratiquent-ils leur religion au quotidien ? De quelle manière vénèrent-ils leurs dieux ? Quelle place pour la magie ? Comment accompagnent-ils leurs morts ? Avec nous : John Scheid, de l'Institut de France. « Les Romains et leurs religions – La piété au quotidien » ; éd. du Cerf.

Talking points: history, psychology, mindset, cultureLike George Santayana said, those who do not learn from the past are condemned to repeat it. There's so much we can learn about ourselves, where we come from, and what needs our attention when we study the past. Grateful for the host of Cost of Glory, Alex Petkas, coming back on the show to lay down some real history, difficult truths, and deep insights on ol' Gaius himself.(00:00:00) - What the modern man can learn from Julius Caesar(00:17:52) - The importance of philosophy and poetry to ancient men(00:23:06) - Why Caesar's storytelling ability was so important, and how modern men can benefit from being better storytellers(00:35:51) - The usefulness of old stories and ideas, and the psychological strategies that Caesar used(00:45:48) - How Caesar handled women(00:52:12) - Misconceptions of Caesar's demise and attitudeAlex Petkas is writer, entrepreneur, and founder of The Cost of Glory, a bridge for the virtues of ancient heroes and the modern world's demands. With a PhD in Classics from Princeton University, Alex has transcended traditional academic boundaries to bring the power of ancient wisdom into contemporary leadership. Recognizing that figures like Plato, Aristotle, Plutarch, and Cato were not just intellectual giants but also formidable leaders and entrepreneurs, he blends their timeless insights with modern leadership needs, offering actionable strategies that resonate with today's leaders. Alex challenges the modern disregard for classical education, championing its vital role in moral and intellectual development. His mission is to reignite the heroic spark within men, empowering them to tackle contemporary challenges with unmatched courage and clarity.Connect with Alex-Website: https://www.costofglory.com/-The Authoritative Speakers Guide: https://costofglory.kit.com/gift-Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpetkas/***Tired of feeling like you're never enough?

Welcome to Day 2626 of Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom – Theology Thursday – “Jesus, God, a.k.a., The Name” – I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible. Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2626 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2626 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. Today is the 55th lesson in our segment, Theology Thursday. Utilizing excerpts from a book titled: I Dare You Not To Bore Me With The Bible written by Hebrew Bible scholar and professor the late Dr. Michael S Heiser, we will invest a couple of years going through the entire Bible, exploring short Biblical lessons that you may not have received in Bible classes or Church. The Bible is a wonderful book. Its pages reveal the epic story of God's redemption of humankind and the long, bitter conflict against evil. Yet it's also a book that seems strange to us. While God's Word was written for us, it wasn't written to us. Today's lesson is: “Jesus, God, a.k.a., The Name.” It only takes a few words to produce dramatic theology. In the short letter we know as 3 John, the apostle is writing to a beloved friend, Gaius (v. 1). He commends Gaius for ministering to fellow believers who were strangers because "they have gone out for the sake of the name" (v. 7). John doesn't use the phrase "in Jesus' name" or "the name of Jesus"; it's simply, "for the sake of the name." Why this phrase? Is John trying to keep a secret? John isn't trying to be cryptic. He's actually drawing on an Old Testament expression. When understood in that original context—and the context of his other writings—‘ odd wording amounts to a powerful statement on the deity of Jesus. The Name in the Old Testament In Deuteronomy 12:5, God instructed the people of Israel that—when they got into the promised land—He would show them the place where they were to worship Him. God described that location as "the place that the LORD your God will choose out of all your tribes to put his name." God wasn't talking about writing His name on a town or a building. He was referring to where the tabernacle—and ultimately the temple—was to be stationed. But He wasn't talking about writing "Yahweh" on that either. Nothing of the sort is ever recorded in Scripture. Rather, God was talking about the place where He would choose to meet Israel personally—His very presence. The description "the name" actually refers to the presence of God. This presence was at times visibly evident through the so-called "glory cloud" (e.g., 1 Kgs 8:10-11). At other times the name came in human form. For instance, in Exodus 23:20-23, God tells Moses that He is sending an angel to bring Israel to the promised land. God warned Moses that this angel would pardon no transgression since "My name is in him." We learn from Judges 2:1-5 that the angel did indeed lead them to the land. But how could God's name be in an angel? The answer is that "the name" referred to the very presence of God—His essence. This is confirmed in Deuteronomy 4:3 7. Here, we read that—instead of the angel being credited as the one who would bring Israel to Canaan—it is God who brought them there "with his own presence." Jesus Has and Is the Name Before His arrest and crucifixion, Jesus prays: "I am no longer in the world, but they...

Salute my wellbeloved Epenetus, who is the firstfruits of Achaia unto Christ. 6 Greet Mary, who bestowed much labour on us. 7 Salute Andronicus and Junia, my kinsmen, and my fellowprisoners, who are of note among the apostles, who also were in Christ before me. 8 Greet Amplias my beloved in the Lord. 9 Salute Urbane, our helper in Christ, and Stachys my beloved. 10 Salute Apelles approved in Christ. Salute them which are of Aristobulus' household. 11 Salute Herodion my kinsman. Greet them that be of the household of Narcissus, which are in the Lord. 12 Salute Tryphena and Tryphosa, who labour in the Lord. Salute the beloved Persis, which laboured much in the Lord. 13 Salute Rufus chosen in the Lord, and his mother and mine. 14 Salute Asyncritus, Phlegon, Hermas, Patrobas, Hermes, and the brethren which are with them. 15 Salute Philologus, and Julia, Nereus, and his sister, and Olympas, and all the saints which are with them. 16 Salute one another with an holy kiss. The churches of Christ salute you. 17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and avoid them. 18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple. 19 For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. 20 And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. 21 Timotheus my workfellow, and Lucius, and Jason, and Sosipater, my kinsmen, salute you. 22 I Tertius, who wrote this epistle, salute you in the Lord. 23 Gaius mine host, and of the whole church, saluteth you. Erastus the chamberlain of the city saluteth you, and Quartus a brother. 24 The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you all. Amen. 25 Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, 26 But now is made manifest, and by t
Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss the brothers Tiberius and Gaius Gracchus whose names are entwined with the end of Rome's Republic and the rise of the Roman Emperors. As tribunes, they brought popular reforms to the Roman Republic at the end of the 2nd century BC. Tiberius (c163-133BC) brought in land reform so every soldier could have his farm, while Gaius (c154-121BC) offered cheap grain for Romans and targeted corruption among the elites. Those elites saw the reforms as such a threat that they had the brothers killed: Tiberius in a shocking murder led by the Pontifex Maximus, the high priest, in 133BC and Gaius 12 years later with the senate's approval. This increase in political violence was to destabilise the Republic, forever tying the Gracchi to the question of why Rome's Republic gave way to the Rome of Emperors.WithCatherine Steel Professor of Classics at the University of GlasgowFederico Santangelo Professor of Ancient History at Newcastle UniversityAndKathryn Tempest Lecturer in Roman History at the University of LeicesterProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Appian (trans.

On today's episode, Gaius from Tribunate joins Josiah to talk about Roman history and it's parallels to the present moments. Is the U.S. in a decline like the end of the Roman Republic? Or, perhaps, the end of the Roman Empire? Why are fascists and far right groypers so obsessed with Rome?

The Gospel message is quite clear on this one point - we are ALL quite responsible here and now for what we do with God's offer, and more importantly, what we do with Christ. In today's message, speaker Gaius Goff takes a look at the 'Three Strong Wills' in our lives - God's will, the devil's will, and our will. You can be certain that God desires your salvation and well-being, a blessing that the devil is also determined to keep from you. But you can also be sure that YOU have the deciding will in this matter - not that you can save yourself - but that you must make salvation the priority of your life.

Gaius, who runs an insurance brokerage in Ohio wants to know how to get his new sales agents cold calling and building pipeline earlier in their training cycle, without making them feel overwhelmed and sabotaging their confidence. If you've ever hired a sales class or tried to ramp up new hires in an industry with complex products or strict guidelines, you'll relate to Gaius's dilemma. Below, you'll find the key takeaways from our conversation on accelerating new rep success, establishing realistic expectations, and blending company marketing with individual agent prospecting efforts. The Challenge: New Hires, Big Learning Curves Gaius plans to hire new property-casualty agents in classes of four, each going through about 3–4 months of training. During that time, they have to learn multiple carriers, underwriting guidelines, and compliance rules so they don't accidentally write poor-fit policies or lose deals over technicalities. It's crucial they build confidence before being “thrown to the wolves.” But here's the catch: If new hires only focus on product and system knowledge for months, their pipeline remains empty. By the time they're “ready” to sell, they'll be way behind on prospecting —and might even lose that DAy One enthusiasm for building relationships. The question is, how soon can they start generating leads and setting up sales conversations? Why Pipeline Activities Can't Wait As I shared with Gaius, I've seen many companies assume new reps aren't “ready” to prospect until they've absorbed the entire knowledge library. Yet waiting too long to do real sales activities can backfire. Early Wins Boost Confidence If new hires can set even a few appointments or pass warm leads to experienced agents, it gives them a sense of accomplishment. That momentum helps them stick with the grind of more complex training. Practical Learning Beats Textbook Learning In industries with loads of carriers and underwriting rules, real-life sales scenarios actually teach new reps faster than purely theoretical training. Once they've got a potential client on the hook, the rep has motivation to find the answers. Improved Onboarding Speed Companies that mix early pipeline-building with supported team selling often see new hires reach quota faster—sometimes shaving weeks or months off the usual ramp-up. And yes, there's a risk of missteps. But that's where a collaborative culture (“sell as a team”) ensures mistakes become teachable moments, not deal-killers. The Team-Selling Approach When new agents don't have full carrier knowledge, they'll naturally hit roadblocks. How do you keep them from burning deals (and morale)? Encourage “Hand-Raises” If a new rep snags an interested customer, let them wave the flag: “Hey, I have a lead who needs home and auto coverage. Here's what they're telling me. What do I do?” Then a veteran agent or manager steps in to guide the quote or finalize the sale, with the rookie learning through an actual client scenario. Shared Commissions Make sure new reps see a direct benefit. If they hand off a deal, they might get a partial commission or spiff for their contribution. Over time, they'll rely less on help—but they're still building pipeline from Day One. Hands-On Coaching Each real conversation is a goldmine for coaching. The rep sees how an experienced teammate answers tricky questions, navigates underwriting guidelines, and pivots between carriers. It's in-the-field training, not just theoretical. Structuring Training + Prospecting Gaius is worried that his new agents need a full 3–4 months before picking up the phone. The short answer is no. They can start small while still in training. Here's how: A Few Leads a Day Instead of waiting for them to finish product modules, drip leads early. Let them call 5 or 10 leads each morning, focusing on booking appointments (rather than doing in-depth quoting). This keeps them from drowning in complexity,
