Christianity Isn't a Nation and The Church Isn't a National Movement Host Curtis Chang sits down with N.T. Wright to explore the explosive themes of Ephesians, including what the Bible really says about the mission of the church—not as a lifeboat escaping to heaven, but a "small working model of new creation"—a multiethnic, multicultural community that stands against the powers and principalities of our age through truth, unity, and love. Wright discusses the church's mission in a divided world, and the rise of Christian nationalism. They address modern challenges such as misunderstandings of spiritual warfare, the communal nature of the armor of God, why the "belt of truth" matters today, and how Ephesians calls the church to resist counterfeit visions of power.

Mainstream Jews, who support Israel and consider themselves Zionists, feel like they are under attack. When they see people wearing keffiyehs and storefronts stamped with Palestinian flags, they hear an implicit attack: "You are not welcome here." But for Palestinians, watermelons and keffiyehs aren't anti-Jewish icons at all: they're symbols of national pride. How can everyday Canadian Jews and Muslims even start a conversation when words and symbols have such different meanings to different people? Telling people they're overreacting isn't an effective tool, nor is public shame, arguing over historical facts or posting online memes. What might work: navigating difficult conversations. On today's episode of In Good Faith, The CJN's interfaith podcast miniseries, we speak with two people who are working toward exactly that. Niki Landau and Bashar Alshawwa both came to conflict resolution through trauma. Landau lost a close friend, Marnie Kimmelman, to a terrorist pipe bomb on a Tel Aviv beach at age 17; Alshawwa was shot by an Israeli army sniper during a protest in 2014. Now they're touring Canada, bringing Jews and Muslims together for lengthy closed-door dialogue sessions, with a singular goal: create a toolkit to guide Canadians through conversations they desperately don't want to have.

In this insightful conclusion to our two-part conversation, Ellen Yoakum—Certified Separation Anxiety Pro Behavior Consultant, KPA CTP, and Behavior Consultant with Pet Harmony—returns to explore how we can thoughtfully apply the learning principles we use with our animal learners to ourselves and the humans we work with. Building on the foundations of Part One, Ellen and Ryan dive into the complexities of generalization—how humans, much like our non-human learners, can struggle to transfer skills across contexts. From communication and empathy to client coaching and professional growth, Ellen offers compassionate strategies for building fluency, resilience, and sustainability in both behavior change and life. Together, they explore: ✅ Translating behavioral principles from dogs to humans—and ourselves ✅ Creating safe learning spaces for clients, colleagues, and trainers alike ✅ How understanding "pain points" can reshape client plans and improve outcomes ✅ Teaching for generalization without overwhelming learners ✅ Rethinking perfection and building skills for recovery when "life gets lifey" Ellen's reflections on generalization, empathy, and sustainable growth remind us that training isn't just about the animals—it's about the entire learning ecosystem. Her insights leave us inspired to meet our learners where they are, celebrate progress over perfection, and approach every interaction—human or non-human—with curiosity and care.

How Are Cultural Shifts Making Evangelical Trends Look Like Revival? Good Faith "founding friend" David French joins Curtis Chang for a powerful conversation on revival, revolution, and the future of American Christianity.

David and Curtis offer fresh insight into how Christians can pursue authentic spiritual growth while navigating a deeply divided cultural landscape.

As folks may know, I try to avoid deep-dives into "programming" topics here on Fresh Fusion. But as many recent events have proven, the slow creep of edgelord dank meme cosplay-fascist culture online has affected all kinds of communities, and unfortunately the world of open source technology is not immune. This episode is in part about Ruby, Ruby Central, Rails and the various players thereof, but it's really about a larger question: is this kind of behavior OK? Will we just continue to tolerate bullies running online communities? When is it time to speak up? How can we demonstrate to people of marginalized backgrounds that they are safe around us? Simply remaining silent is no longer an option. As the saying goes, if you walk into a bar and you see nazis hanging out freely without push back, then congratulations! You're in a Nazi Bar.
Following five years of research and consultations, the ICRC has published a new, updated Commentary on the Fourth Geneva Convention (GC IV) of 1949. GC IV is the cornerstone of protection for civilians in international armed conflict and occupation – protections that remain urgently relevant amid patterns of urban warfare, strikes on essential services, and persistent harm to people who are not, or are no longer, taking part in hostilities. The 2025 Commentary consolidates seven decades of practice, jurisprudence, and operational experience into a practical guide to applying GC IV's safeguards effectively today. In this post, Jean-Marie Henckaerts, the head of the ICRC project to update the Commentaries on the Geneva Conventions of 1949 and their Additional Protocols of 1977, situates the updated Commentary in contemporary conflict realities and explains why GC IV's protective purpose must steer its interpretation. He argues that good faith interpretation – required by the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties – means reading GC IV in a way that realizes its humanitarian object and purpose, not hollowing it out through technical argumentation that defeats protection in practice.
How can we best navigate the AI revolution to leverage it for a greater good?It's here. What will we do about it as heart-centered leaders?We hear: "The machine is outperforming humans."What we need is to be more human.In this episode of 'Being Brave', I am joined by Justin Hall, CEO of AI UK ( who also spent many years in Christian ministry, coaching, and non-profit leadership) to explore the profound impact of AI on communication, work, and creativity.

This conversation delves into the complex doctrine of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing in contract law. It explores its foundational principles, historical development, and practical implications across various contexts, including insurance and employment contracts. The discussion emphasizes the importance of understanding both the functions and limitations of good faith, as well as the comparative perspectives between US and English law. Practical guidance for law students and legal practitioners is provided, focusing on drafting, advising, and litigation strategies related to good faith claims.In the realm of contract law, the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is a fundamental principle that ensures fairness and honesty in contractual relationships. Imagine entering into a contract with the expectation of mutual benefit, only to find that the other party is acting in bad faith. This covenant serves as a safeguard against such scenarios, promoting trust and integrity.The Essence of the Covenant: The implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is not explicitly stated in contracts but is inherently understood to be part of every agreement. It requires parties to act honestly and fairly towards each other, ensuring that neither party undermines the contract's purpose. As legal scholar John Doe notes, "This covenant is the backbone of contractual fairness, preventing parties from exploiting loopholes to the detriment of the other."Real-World Applications: Consider a scenario where a supplier deliberately delays shipments to pressure a buyer into renegotiating terms. Such actions would violate the covenant, as they undermine the contract's intent. Courts often intervene in these cases, emphasizing the importance of good faith in maintaining contractual balance.Understanding the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing is crucial for anyone involved in contractual agreements. It not only fosters trust but also ensures that contracts serve their intended purpose without manipulation. As you navigate the complexities of contract law, remember that this covenant is your ally in promoting fairness and integrity.Subscribe Now: Stay informed about the latest in contract law by subscribing.TakeawaysThe implied covenant of good faith is a foundational principle in contract law.Good faith requires parties to act honestly and fairly in their contractual obligations.It is not a subjective moral obligation but a legal standard.Good faith cannot override express terms of a contract.Claims for breach of good faith must be distinct from express breaches.Insurance contracts have a heightened duty of good faith, leading to tort liability.California has unique approaches to good faith in employment contracts.Relational contracts require a higher degree of cooperation and trust.Good faith serves as a gap filler in contracts, addressing unforeseen issues.Documenting everything is crucial for proving or disproving bad faith. contract law, good faith, fair dealing, legal principles, implied covenant, contract disputes, law students, legal analysis, historical context, comparative law

In this comprehensive "Comment Counsel" session, New York personal injury attorney Arkady Frekhtman tackles viewer questions while exposing critical litigation strategies that could make or break your case. From revealing why you should never attend mediation without a good faith offer (warning that billion-dollar insurance companies use these sessions as psychological warfare to "dishearten you and take away your belief that you could really get a big, life-changing number"), to explaining the stark differences between suing private landlords versus cities for sidewalk accidents, Frekhtman provides insider knowledge most lawyers won't share. Learn why getting ticketed doesn't kill your brain injury case, discover the step-by-step treatment progression that transforms $30,000 soft tissue cases into $300,000+ verdicts, and understand how defense attorneys weaponize delays as part of their systematic plan to frustrate plaintiffs into giving up—all while Frekhtman breaks down real case values and settlement strategies across multiple injury types and jurisdictions.Frekhtman & Associates specializes in serious and catastrophic injury litigation and are recognized as some of the best personal injury lawyers in the New York City area.▶▶ CLICK BELOW TO GET A FREE CONSULT NOWhttps://bit.ly/atty-free-consultation▶▶ GIVE A REVIEW:https://bit.ly/review-fa▶▶ HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?:https://866attylaw.com/▶▶ CALL US NOW - FREE EVALUATION(212) 222-1111 or (866) ATTY LAW ▶▶ CONTACT US NOW - FREE EVALUATIONhttps://866attylaw.com/contact-us/

R-Soul: Reclaiming the Soul of Reproductive Health, Rights, and Justice
When the U.S. Supreme Court dealt a death blow in 2022 to federal abortion protections offered by Roe v. Wade, a gruesome patchwork quilt of abortion regulations covered the nation, creating drastic gaps to abortion access from state to state. Three years into this new “normal,” Kelley Fox and Rev. Terry Williams talk about what life is like now that nobody got what they really wanted from the U.S. Supreme Court. Focusing on the impact that confusing abortion laws and vague, ever-changing repro rights restrictions have on patients seeking care, Kelley and Terry frame the present as a prelude to what's possible through religious freedom protections, communal resistance, and effective organizing in the coming years.

I've been away, not out of apathy, but because I've been growing, studying, lamenting, rebuilding—and finding my center. I've spent that time preparing, and now, I'm coming back with a plan, a purpose, and a clarity I didn't have before. This episode lays out the foundation for everything that comes next. I'm introducing a new, methodical cycle—a rotation of the most urgent and interconnected issues of our time:Gaza and the global fight against genocideThe rise of fascism in AmericaWhite supremacy and systemic racismFailures and complicity within the Democratic PartyNuances within the Black communityWhy Christianity and capitalism are fundamentally incompatibleEach topic will be revisited regularly. This is not headline-chasing. This is strategic, educational, and mobilizing work—meant to build a body of knowledge that equips us for the fight ahead. I also want to be clear about this shift: I'm leading more publicly with my faith now—not as a means of exclusion, but because it's the source of my clarity and conviction.That said, this space has always been and will always remain rooted in unity—centered around The People of Good Faith. That means you—whether you're Christian, atheist, Muslim, agnostic, Jewish, spiritual, or none of the above. If you yield to truth, if you are committed to justice, if you're willing to confront inconvenient facts for the sake of collective liberation—then you are welcome here. You are needed here.I talk in this episode about why I'm moving to daily audio, how social media algorithms have suppressed this work, and why I'm no longer waiting for perfection to speak truth. I ask you—if you've ever stood with me—to show up again. Share this episode. Commit to listening. Reconnect. Because the best of what's coming won't be possible without you. This isn't just a podcast. It's a strategy. A community. A movement. And it starts now.
