By Mario Seiglie - We can compare our General Council of Elders with the Jerusalem Conference mentioned in Acts 15. Offered herein are five lessons that define and set apart our governance today in contrast to other churches that fall short of following biblical principles.

“As long as he sought the Lord, God gave him success.” That is what 2 Chronicles 26:5 says about Uzziah, king of Judah in the early eighth century B.C. According to Warren D. Bullock, this verse is key to understanding Uzziah's success as a king, as well as his ultimate failure. “When [Uzziah] prayed, all went well; he had amazing success,” Bullock writes. “When he failed to seek the Lord, he acted out of pride, violated the boundaries of his calling, and was cursed with leprosy.” What lessons does Uzziah's example of both prayerfulness and prayerlessness teach spiritual leaders today? That's the question I ask Bullock in this episode of the Influence Podcast. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influencemagazine and your host. Warren D. Bullock is a veteran Assemblies of God minister with six decades of experience as a pastor, superintendent of the Northwest Ministry Network, and General Council executive presbyter. He is author of Seven Life-Changing Words: The Power of Persevering Prayer, published by Trilogy. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Discipler.

You want to influence people. You want to get them to change their behaviour and do things differently.

Cindy Tack files a court case in Trial Court that seeks to reverse action taken by the Legislature. it stems from GC resolution 09.21.2024 "A Resolution for Freedom of Speech with Open and Transparent Governance"The President gave his inaugural State of the Ho-Chunk Nation address. It was pretty good.Comp and class has been addressed once again and this time the Legislature works to help the Madison and Dells areas. Weird how it's happening during election season.

In 1 Corinthians 15:1–2, the apostle Paul wrote: “Now, brothers and sisters, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand. By this gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.” We typically interpret Paul's gospel in terms of the doctrine of justification by faith, with good reason. In Romans 1:17, for example, Paul wrote, “For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed — a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written: ‘The righteous will live by faith.'” And yet, in 1 Corinthians 15:3–7, Paul focused on what happened to Jesus Christ — His death and resurrection, not on what happened through Jesus Christ. Christ's death and resurrection are the cause, and our justification — including our own resurrection from the dead — is the effect. As we approach the holiest days in the Christian calendar — Good Friday and Easter — I want to devote a podcast to discussing the theological foundations of the gospel with Allen Tennison. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. Allen Tennison is theological counsel of The General Council of the Assemblies of God and chair of the Commission on Doctrines and Practices. ————— This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of The Holy Spirit in the Life of the Discipler.

"I ignored the warning signs and paid the price, I went into my head and almost never came out."That powerful statement from Dan Stanley sets the tone for this episode of the How to Thrive podcast, which aims to shine a light on men's mental wellbeing.Dan says, despite having built himself a life of material success, he came to the realisation that his success was superficial and says his experience nearly cost him his marriage, his sanity and his life. He shares his personal journey of awakening to the superficiality of traditional masculinity, discusses the historical context of masculinity, the challenges modern men face, and the importance of peer support and community. Through his experiences, Dan emphasises the need for men to engage in honest conversations, prioritise self-awareness, and redefine their understanding of masculinity. He also reveals his top tips on how to thrive.Dan is the Founder of BetterMen: https://www.better-men.uk/He has published a book called "Rethinking Masculinity" which you can get a copy of from his website: https://www.better-men.uk/rethinking-masculinity-bookWith thanks to our sponsors Flank, an AI colleague for your in-house legal team.

To mark International Women's Day (March 8th) Claire and Helen sat down for a chat with Amy Martin to talk about a subject that rarely gets a mention in the workplace - menstrual cycles.As Amy puts it: “We want to move away from the narrative that women are ‘funny' around their period, but for many of us it's true. Yet we're ignoring it in the workplace.”Amy is on a mission to get us all (men included) talking about how someone's menstrual cycle can affect them at different times, and how businesses are failing to get the best from their teams by ignoring the natural fluctuations people experience in mood and energy.She talks powerfully about her own struggles with burnout and the power she has gained from getting to know her own menstrual cycle.Amy is a qualified veterinary nurse, as well as a coach and mentor. You can find her at Ark Referrals, The Point of Care Foundation, and Magnolia Coaching.Amy's book recommendations mentioned in the episode:Wild Power by Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo WurlitzerUma Dinsmore-Tuli's Yoni ShaktiWith thanks to our sponsors Flank, an AI colleague for your in-house legal team.

Now that X, formerly known as Twitter, is officially located in Texas.  The Texas State government can give Elon Musk the political cover he needs to expose the censorship and election engineering that Old Twitter orchestrated across all social media platforms.  There is wide spread belief that the man central to the censorship and attack on conservatives was a man named Jim Baker, the former General Council of Twitter as well as the FBI before that. California never wanted to get to the bottom of the depth of the corruption.  Now Texas can.  Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, through subpoena power, could get files released to the public that Musk may have been barred from releasing due to privacy laws.  This is why we are calling the investigation that needs to unfold, "The Mother of All Twitter Files." Former Green Beret, member of the Defense Intelligence Agency, and attorney Ivan Raiklin spells out the blue print for Attorney General Paxton to act on.  What comes out of this investigation could secure President Trump victory in November. Also, Kamala Harris does her first sit down interview with a local news reporter from Pennsylvania.  The interview is what you would expect from Kamala Harris.  We go through it piece by piece to show you why the Trump Campaign is now using the commercial as it's latest advertisement.   Plus, hear what President Trump has to say about Kamala working at McDonalds!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Following the attenpt by parliament to close the army down without pay, and the resulting August 1647 coup, the army was a seething mass of worries and resentments. Thrown into the mix were the radical political ideas of the Levellers. Together, all of this threatened chaos and even mutiny. So Cromwell and Fairfax invited representatives of their brothers in arms to thrash all of this out in the open forum of the General Council of the Army, at the church of Sy Mary's in Putney, in October 1647. The resulting discusson is the earliest example of demands for genuine democratic reform in English history. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In times of crisis or as individuals approach life's end, it's often said that doubts about faith and spirituality come to the forefront—even for those who don't consider themselves religious. This phenomenon is sometimes captured in the adage, "There are no atheists in a foxhole."Addressing the needs of those who haven't adopted a religious or spiritual identity involves sensitivity and care. Certain clichés and overused expressions are best left unsaid. Instead, finding the right language that offers genuine comfort and solace is key to providing meaningful support.Reverand Richard Sullivan, a hospice chaplain, will join us today to provide insight and guidance for those nearing the end of their life, and for those who love them.  Special Guest: Reverend Richard SullivanReverend Richard Sullivan is an ordained minister with the General Council of the Assemblies of God headquartered in Springfield, Missouri. Richard has been a credentialed minister since 2007. In addition to his pastoral education, Richard completed four units of Clinical Pastor Education. Richard served on staff as an ecclesiastical endorsed chaplain with Boone Health for 17 years, providing support as a staff chaplain, hospice chaplain, and Lead Chaplain of Spiritual Care Services. During his years of ministry with Boone Health, Richard was active in bereavement care services, as well as, palliative care and ethics committees. His role also included working with patients and community members in education and completion of healthcare directives and durable power of attorney. Richard currently serves as lead pastor of Summit First Assembly of God, Holts Summit, Missouri and Legacy and Care pastor at Columbia First Assembly. Since July 2021, Richard, along with his wife Kellie, own and operate Bluegrass Senior Living in Ashland, Missouri.

Año con año, los partidos políticos y los funcionarios públicos reciben miles de millones de pesos para hacer “comunicación social”, es decir, para informar a la ciudadanía sobre los alcances de su trabajo. Si a esto sumamos la obscena cantidad de dinero que reciben para hacer campañas políticas nos damos cuenta que una gran parte de nuestros impuestos se está yendo, básicamente, en publicidad. En las últimas décadas, estas campañas informáticas se desarrollan con más intensidad en el internet y las redes sociales, que son plataformas más difíciles de fiscalizar. No solo se trata de limitar cuanto se gasta y dónde, pero también qué se dice y cómo, algo que se vuelve casi imposible el mundo digital. El fenómeno de las “fake news” nos impulsa a intentar dibujar nuevos límites y nuevas reglas de la comunicación social dentro de un terreno que, por naturaleza, resiste a los límites y a la censura. ¿Cómo debemos problematizar las campañas políticas en una nueva era informática? y, ¿qué debemos creer y qué no? Para discutir sobre estos temas, nos acompañan Xavier Careaga, ex- General Council de Meta, y Miguel Rábago, profesor del CIDE.

In the second part of Ilia Delio's conversation with Fr. Ronald Rolheiser, Ilia asks what Ron's hope is for the future—is it the church? They share their concerns for theology and doctrines which are increasingly out of touch with the current state of the world, and consider whether a secular religion is possible. Ilia also asks Fr. Ron his opinion on the viability of common appeals for a “spirituality without religion.”ABOUT RONALD ROLHEISER“Faith is not a question of basking in the certainty that there is a God and that God is taking care of us. Many of us are never granted this kind of assurance. Certitude is not the real substance of faith. Faith is a way of seeing things.”Fr.

After we address some news items of the day, we assemble at the General Council of Anthropomorphized Astrological Signs, along with good-bad cinema coorespondent Adrian DeLaTorre (Never Seen It / @b00tz2big), and discuss the brand new Jennifer Lopez vanity project / perfume ad / EPK for her new album / movie (?) This is Me...Now. Described to us in advance as being about JLo as a "Sex-Addicted Insomniac In Space" but it's so much more (and less) than that. Did Jane Fonda, Fat Joe, Neil DeGrass Tyson, and Post Malone all work for scale? Just who exactly is Ben Affleck's bit role as a news anchor character supposed to be lampooning? Did Jennifer Lopez rip off Neal Breen or is it the other way around...now? Does the director's credit as the director of a promotional video for the utopian Saudi project NEOM have any connection to anything here? Do hummingbirds dance in the rain? And do you know the tale of Alida and Taroo? No? Well, let JLo narcissistically unfurl this legend before you. Commiserate on Discord: discord.gg/aDf4Yv9PrYSupport: patreon / buzzsproutNever Forget: standwithdanielhale.orgGeneral RecommendationsJosh's Recommendation: The Films of Neal BreenTim's Recommendation: Fateful FindingsAdrian's Recommendation: KanopyFurther Reading, Viewing, Listening Links to news items from the episodeMore From Adrian DeLaTorrePodcast: Never Seen ItLetterboxd: @b00tz2bigTwitter: @b00tz2bigMore From Timothy Robert BuechnerQ&T ARE@ROHDUTCHLocationless Locationsheatdeathpod.comEvery show-related link is corralled and available here.Twitter: @heatdeathpodPlease send all Letters of Derision, Indifference, Inquiry, Mild Elation, et cetera to: heatdeathoftheuniversepodcast@gmail.comSupport the show

On January 22, 1973, the U.S. Supreme Court handed down its decision in Roe v. Wade, effectively overturning numerous state laws against abortion and legalizing the practice throughout the land. That decision stood until June 24, 2022, when the Supreme Court reversed itself in Dobbs v. Jackson Women's Health Organization and overturned Roe. This didn't end the abortion debate, however. Rather, it returned the debates about whether and how to restrict abortion to the states. Ever since, Americans have engaged in a renewed, vigorous debate about what the law should say about abortion. This past Monday was the 51st anniversary of Roe, and therefore a good occasion to talk about abortion from a Christian perspective. So, in this episode of the Influence Podcast, I'm talking to Allen Tennison about the Assemblies of God's stance on the sanctity of life, which begins in the womb. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influence magazine and your host. (Influence is published by the Assemblies of God.) Allen Tennison, Ph.D., is theological counsel of The General Council of the Assemblies of God, chair of its Commission on Doctrines and Practices, and an ordained AG minister. ––––– This episode of the Influence Podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of Bible Engagement Project.

Let's Talk Through It Our first friend and her fiance have been together 4 years. She is a nurse and he is a barber. She was recently promoted and now makes over 6 figures but is still motivated to grow more. She has been encouraging her fiance to get his own barber shop but he is comfortable where he is. She wants to know how she can motivate him to want more or is he just not the man for her. One of our other friends has been a listener since 2020 and a soror of Nicole. She has been dating a coworker at her company for some time now, he's General Council and she is a VP for the company. He's smart, well off and athletic. He seems too good to be true. She's feeling a little inferior and asks if she should let him go to find someone more his speed. Until we meet again. Pray! Work! Slay! And Show Off Your Melanated Excellence!
