St. Paul updates the Philippians on two of his coworkers and expresses his desire to send them to the Philippians soon. First, he commends Timothy, whom the Philippians know personally. Timothy is an example of the humility of Christ, as Timothy concerns himself with the Philippians' welfare and the interests of Jesus. Second, Paul commends Epaphroditus, who had brought the Philippians' gift to Paul. The Lord had been merciful in sparing him from death, bringing great joy to the Philippians and Paul.  Rev. James Helms Jr., pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Greenbelt, MD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Philippians 2:19-30.  To learn more about Holy Cross Lutheran, visit myholycross.com. “Letters from Prison” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies Philippians, Colossians, and Philemon. Even when Paul was imprisoned for the sake of Christ, the Word of God remained unbound. The apostle's letters from prison still fill us with the same joy that his chains could never silence. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

The UK's #1 ranked panning lawyer, Simon Ricketts, joins the podcast to discuss the Government's package of support for housebuilding in London. In the latest episode of Concilio's Better Places Podcast we were joined by the UK's #1 ranked Planning Lawyer, Simon Ricketts, to discuss the Government and Sadiq Khan's announcement of 23rd October on a series of measures that can support housebuilding in London. The housing crisis in London is real, with Molior reporting that private construction starts totalled just 3,248 homes in the first three quarters of 2025 and likely 5,000 for the year. One in six construction projects have halted whilst there were only 5,933 new home sales over Q1 to Q3. Alongside this, Build-to-Rent starts are drying up, with Molior predicting that BTR completions are set to disappear after 2027. The human impact of this is stark. More than 130,000 households are living in temporary accommodation in London and the cost of this has led to a £740m black hole for local authorities. Concilio's MD Nick Dines and Simon look at the Government's proposed reforms: Time-limited planning route that enables developers to secure planning permission for schemes on private land that provides at least 20% affordable without requiring an upfront viability assessment. This will qualify for Fast Track and be eligible for grant.  Temporary relief from the Community Infrastructure Levy, covering 50% of the borough CIL charge for schemes delivering at least 20% affordable. Adjusting London Plan design guidance on dual aspect requirements, dwellings per core and cycle storage provision.  Enhanced Mayoral planning powers, giving the Mayor the authority over 50 unit schemes, the ability to call in 1,000 sqm Green Belt and MOL and allow written rep call ins. An initial £322m allocation to establish a City Hall Developer Investment Fund Simon explains his understanding on the timings involved and looks at four different scenarios for developers: Existing planning permission that is unimplemented or is a phased consent Application approved by Committee yet does not have the Section 106 signed An application that has been submitted but has not been determined  An application not yet submitted The podcast is a fascinating, must-listen episode if you want to understand how significant the changes coming to planning in London are.

Send us a textLondon's property market is under real pressure — but also full of opportunity. New housing starts have dropped to the lowest level in the UK, with developers blaming overregulation, affordability targets, and fire safety rules that make many projects unviable. Mayor Sadiq Khan faces mounting pressure to ease planning and even reconsider parts of the Green Belt to restart stalled developments.At the same time, the commercial sector is reinventing itself — offices are turning into hotel-style spaces, and industrial sheds are delivering some of the strongest returns in the market. Investors are taking advantage of political uncertainty, spotting bargains in REITs like Big Yellow and Tri Tax, both seen as top long-term plays.Meanwhile, stamp duty remains a heavy burden, but creative investors are finding ways around it — from negotiating with developers to exploring REITs and alternative property types. And in the luxury market, tax clampdowns and global sanctions are cooling demand, with prime homes sitting empty as overseas buyers pull back.Change is coming — and those who adapt early will win.#LondonProperty #RealEstateNews #PropertyMarket #HousingCrisis #CommercialProperty #REITs #PropertyInvestment #LuxuryHomes #UKProperty #InvestSmart #PropertyInsights #GreenBelt #StampDuty #Developers #MarketUpdatePROPERTY WEALTH - Transforming challenges into opportunities with specialist knowledge and reach.

Se cuenta que una vez estaba el Papa de Roma con Tomás de Aquino. Al observar las riquezas del Vaticano, el Pontífice dijo: "Se ve que ya no podemos decir como Pedro, que no tenemos plata ni oro". A lo que Santo Tomás respondió: "Lo malo es que tampoco podemos decir: "¡Levántate y anda!". Esta historia, seguramente apócrifa, ya que habla originalmente de un Papa llamado Inocencio y Aquino no conoció ninguno con ese nombre, sin embargo, expresa la verdad profunda de la que habla el tercer capítulo del Libro de los Hechos. Tras la sintonía de nuestra ruta por los 66 volúmenes que forman la Biblia (Get Your Kicks On) Route 66), a cargo esta vez del ya desaparecido organista británico Harry Stoneham, oímos al "enfant terrible" de la "música cristiana" de los 80, Steve Taylor. Este hijo de un pastor bautista americano abrió un concierto en el que estuvo José de Segovia en el festival entonces "cristiano" de Greenbelt, junto al castillo de Ashby (Inglaterra) en 1985 con una canción sobre una iglesia que se había convertido ya en una discoteca )This Disco Used To Be A Cute Catredral). En ella observa que donde ahora se baila, antes se decía a la gente," lo que querían oír"... Dios parece haber abandonado su casa, pero no de la que habla el australiano Nick Cave en el tema de su disco del 2001, "Ya no partiremos más" (No More Shall We Part), donde este apasionado lector de la Biblia se da cuenta que "Dios está en la casa" (God Is In The House).Diez años antes, "la reina del country" admirada tanto por demócratas como republicanos, Dolly Parton, grabó una canción del pionero del rock Carl Perkins. El autor de "Zapatos de gamuza azul" (Blue Suede Shoes) dejó la bebida al convertirse al cristianismo evangélico en 1966, dedicando su vida a la iglesia. Esta canción que conecta con la fe Parton, está inspirada en este capítulo del Libro de Hechos. Se llama "Plata y oro" (Silver and Gold 1991). La serie que hizo el año 2016 para el canal de televisión por cable HBO, el director italiano Paolo Sorrentino -ganador de un Oscar por "La gran belleza" y autor de obras tan conmovedoras sobre el paso del tiempo, como "La juventud" o "Un lugar donde quedarse-, juega con la incertidumbre que provoca un nuevo pontífice. "El joven Papa" parece más ultramontano que el cardenal más conservador, pero con más dudas que el teólogo más radical. Todo es tan desconcertante como la vida misma. Escuchamos escenas de la serie interpretada por Jude Law, el gran Silvio Orlando, la maravillosa Diane Keaton y el español Javier Cámara en la versión doblada al castellano. Las comenta José de Segovia con la banda sonora original de Lele Marchitelli. Y así como empezamos, acabamos también el programa con una grabación en vivo de la BBC en el festival entonces "cristiano" de Greenbelt, que transmitió el culto que había el domingo por la mañana en 1985. La audiencia de la televisión británica pudo ver cómo 20.000 jóvenes bailaban al son de la canción que hizo el pastor anglicano en Palestina, Garth Hewitt. inspirado en este capítulo del Libro de los Hechos, José de Segovia estuvo también ese año allí. El tema lo ha grabado Hewitt varias veces y lo interpretó en el concierto que organizó José en Madrid en el Colegio El Porvenir. Se llama "¡Levántate y baila!" (Get Up and Dance).

Recorded live at Glee 2025, this episode brings two very different lenses on garden retail performance and growth. First, Amy and Libby Stubbs share how British Garden Centres has scaled to 73 locations while keeping each site's individuality, from centre-level social media to data-driven benchmarking and a renewed focus on tech, process and customer loyalty. Then Reverend Dave Walker explains how he's reviving Sheffield's Birley Moor Garden Centre with community at the core: forest school education, nature-based improvements on site and a clear-eyed approach to cash flow, planning and supplier partnerships.In this episode you'll hear: Leadership and next-gen talent: Amy's step up to Managing Director, the sisters' complementary strengths, and how giving younger leaders real responsibility builds momentum.Destination thinking, not just tills: Events, evening opportunities and “point of difference” from suppliers that help educate newer gardeners.An independent's turnaround playbook: Why Rev Dave bought his childhood garden centre, drove a 43% turnover uplift in year one, and grew the team from 4 to 28, before even opening the café.Community as a growth lever: Forest school provision, Help for Heroes meet-ups and on-site biodiversity plans including a wetland to deliver Biodiversity Net Gain and mitigate local flooding risks.Planning in the real world: Lessons from a 15-month Green Belt change-of-use process, and why popular street-food outlet Grandpa Joe's remains part of the future mix.Supplier takeaways: What will make buyers at large groups stop at your stand at Glee, and what independents need from suppliers right now, from extended terms to stronger POS and marketing support.Who should listen:Garden centre owners and managers, heads of retail and catering, supplier teams planning 2026 ranges, and anyone interested in loyalty, operational efficiency and community-led footfall growth.British Garden Centres: http://britishgardencentres.com Birley Moor Garden Centre: http://birleymoor.co.uk/ Sussex Seed Balls: https://www.sussexseedballs.com

Hace falta valor para decir ciertas cosas. Cuando vemos el nacimiento de la Iglesia en Pentecostés, nos preguntamos cómo pudieron aquellos temerosos discípulos de Jesús enfrentar la persecución de judíos y romanos: ¿Cómo pudo Pedro, después de negarle aquella noche, dar valeroso testimonio de Jesús a todos los que estaban en Jerusalén? La explicación es sobrenatural. Fue por el poder del Espíritu Santo que nos habla de Cristo resucitado. Tras escuchar la sintonía de nuestro programa de "Ruta 66" a cargo del italiano Riccardo Ferranti, escuchamos el llamamiento del grupo sueco Jerusalem a anunciar el mensaje del Reino, "Al servicio de Su Majestad". La banda del espectacular cantante Ulf Christiansson, se forma en Gotemburgo en 1975 para dar testimonio de Jesús con un "rock" tan "duro" que anuncia ya el "metal". Un grupo que hacía ese mismo tipo de música en Chicago como parte de la comunidad de la Gente de Jesús de hippies convertidos al cristianismo, Resurrection Band, les descubrieron en Inglaterra en el festival cristiano de Greenbelt, La gira americana de Jerusalem en 1985 fue recogida en un disco que lleva el título de este tema (In His Makesty Service). Otro grupo formado en la Revolución por Jesús en 1974 al sur de California, La Última Banda de Jubal, cambia su nombre en el 76 a Daniel Amos, al grabar su primer álbum de "country-rock" en el sello de la Capilla Calvario de Costa Mesa, Maranatha! Su líder Terry Scott Taylor graba en él una canción a un compañero de colegio del que se burlaban porque leía la Biblia y hacía una oración antes de comer. Al llegar el músico a la fe, lamenta su crueldad y reconoce que Guillermo (William) puso la semilla de la fe en él, que ha brotado ahora que ha llegado a creer. Tras dejar la droga con la ayuda de Larry Norman en Los Angeles con la Revolución por Jesús, Randy Stonehill publica su primer álbum en 1971 con la ayuda del cantante y actor evangélico Pat Boone, que publica también el primer disco de Jerusalem en Estados Unidos. Al romper con Norman, Randy se une a Daniel Amos e inicia una carrera en solitario. En 1986 habla del valor de aquellos que están dispuestos a morir por su fe (The Dying Breed). Es la fe de Sophie Scholl (1921-1943), la que hace que una joven estudiante luterana se enfrente a la guillotina con 21 años, por distribuir unos panfletos en la universidad de Múnich contra el nazismo. La historia de sus últimos días, la cuenta la película alemana que lleva su nombre en 2005. Escuchamos escenas de la versión doblada al castellano con los comentarios de José de Segovia sobre el fondo instrumental de la banda sonora original de Reinhold Heil y Johnny Klimeck). Oímos después la canción que le dedicó el cantautor francés Louis Philippe en 1989. La oración de Sophie antes de morir, nos recuerda también la canción del grupo de las tres hermanas Barlow a principios de este siglo. En este tema hablan de las oraciones que Dios parece no responder y la fe a la que se aferran en medio de la duda, por la esperanza de que el sol saldrá, aunque no lo vean todavía brillar, como las últimas palabras de Scholl.

The account of Jonah doesn't end with Nineveh's repentance; the prophet tells us his angry reaction. Jonah despises the LORD's forgiveness for “those people,” and so he despises the LORD. Yet the LORD calls Jonah back. The LORD first appoints a plant to give Jonah shade. Soon, however, the LORD appoints a worm to kill the plant and take away Jonah's shade, and then the LORD appoints an east wind to make Jonah miserable. When Jonah becomes angry over the plant, the LORD points out that Jonah has pity over something that he had not planted or grown. In the book's concluding question, the LORD calls Jonah, and all of us, to consider how great the LORD's compassion is for all people and all His creatures, whom He loves in His Son Jesus Christ.  Rev. James Helms, Jr., pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Greenbelt, MD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Jonah 4:1-11.  To learn more about Holy Cross, visit myholycross.com. “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

According to a 2014 study by the Pew Research Center, people in wealthier countries are happier on average, but only up to a point. Even in so-called "emerging" countries like Indonesia, Pakistan and Turkey, there was a correlation between rising wealth levels and the percentage of happy people. Interestingly though, in well-off nations, people don't necessarily attribute their happiness directly to money. The same Pew Research Center study found that health, children's education, safety from crime, owning a home and having a fulfilling job were all more important than financial security. Of course, those factors are all somewhat connected to the economy.  Where did that saying come from to start with? And is money still a key player? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

On this episode, host Paul W. Grimm speaks with Professor Maura R. Grossman about the fundamentals of artificial intelligence and its growing influence on the legal system. They explore what AI is (and isn't), how machine learning and natural language processing work, and the differences between traditional automation and modern generative AI. In layman's terms, they discuss other key concepts, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement training, and deepfakes, and other advances that have accelerated AI's development. Finally, they address a few potential risks of generative AI, including hallucinations, bias, and misuse in court, which sets the stage for a deeper conversation about legal implications on the next episode, "To Trust or Not to Trust: AI in Legal Practice."

Host Paul W. Grimm continues his conversation with Professor Maura R. Grossman on the legal system's growing challenges with generative AI and deepfakes. They explore how AI-generated images, video, and audio differ from traditional fakes—and why they present unique evidentiary challenges and ethical problems for lawyers and judges. They also discuss the legal implications of the “liar's dividend,” the psychological impact of AI-generated evidence on juries, and potential updates to the Federal Rules of Evidence. In the absence of new rules dealing with AI evidence, they explain how early case management, protective orders, and Rules 403 and 901 can address a few of these challenges.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESGrossman, Grimm & Coglianese "AI in the Courts: How Worried Should We Be?"

Every year, if we are lucky, several comets can come close enough for the Sun to warm and us to see the beautiful changing dust and gas clouds around them with binoculars or our unaided eyes. So far asteroids have gotten most of the attention as dangerous celestial neighbors, however, Dr. Joseph Nuth, a researcher at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center in Greenbelt, Maryland recently pointed out "Comets can also deliver a heaping helping of calamity to Earth, and scientists and policymakers alike should start taking measures to combat the threat".   - Collect your own beautiful micro-meteorite sample.  It is estimated that several hundred thousand pounds of left over particles from the formation of our solar system enters the Earth's atmosphere every day with perhaps 10% of the of the total reaching the surface of our home planet.

In December 1989, Germany's ‘Green Belt' was born. For more than 40 years, the country had been split by a 1,400km border and, in the decades the so-called ‘death zone' had existed, life flourished everywhere. In 1989, communism crumbled and, as soon as the borders opened, Kai Frobel knew he needed to act fast to stop farmers and developers. He called a meeting on 9 December, hoping a few people might come along. Around 400 people from both sides of the border joined Kai to help create what would become known as Germany's ‘Green Belt', securing life in a place which had been associated with death for decades. Professor Kai Frobel tells Laura Jones about growing up near the fortified GDR border and why it's such a special place for rare species of birds and animals.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive.

Donald Trump's Liberation Day has unleashed a suite of tariffs on the world, but Canada has escaped any additional ones. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine what effect the tariffs Canada is facing are having on the economy. A former executive assistant to Premier Doug Ford violated the province's lobbying rules, according to Integrity Commissioner J. David Wake. The violations occurred during lobbying for clients' land to be removed from the Greenbelt. Nico Fidani-Diker also offered Toronto Maple Leafs tickets to "public office holders" putting them into conflict of interest. Steve Paikin and John Michael McGrath examine the latest chapter in the Greenbelt scandal and the implications for the RCMP investigation into it. With every election comes inevitable "bozo eruptions," which is when a politicians is caught saying something unsavoury, which sometimes gets them kicked out of elected politics.

The LORD commands Samuel to go to the house of Jesse in Bethlehem to offer a sacrifice with Jesse's family and anoint the next king from among his sons. As the sons of Jesse come before Samuel in the order of age, Samuel wrongly assumes that the oldest will be king. The LORD corrects His prophet; the LORD looks at the heart. No man, not even his own father, realizes that it is the youngest son that will be the king. At Samuel's request, David is brought before him, and Samuel anoints the shepherd as the next king of Israel. When the Spirit of the LORD comes upon David, the Spirit also leaves Saul. When Saul is tormented by an evil spirit, David is brought before him to comfort him by singing God's Word to music. Still today, music combined with God's Word is a powerful gift for God's people.  Rev. James Helms, Jr., pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Greenbelt, MD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Samuel 16:1-23.  "A Kingdom Unlike All the Nations” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through 1-2 Samuel. This time in Israel's history has its highs and lows, but the LORD's faithfulness never wavers. He provides His Word to be proclaimed faithfully through prophets like Samuel and Nathan. Even as princes like Saul and David sit on an earthly throne, the LORD remains King over His people, even as He does now and forever through the Lord Jesus Christ. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Guest: Toronto Star Queen's Park Bureau Chief Robert Benzie After months of speculation, Premier Doug Ford finally called an election, sending voters to the polls more than a year ahead of schedule. Robert Benzie discusses Ford's stated rationale for the campaign, and also unpacks the reasons behind the months of groundwork that prepared for this early election. Tax rebate cheques are hitting mailboxes, beer is on sale in corner stores, and the results of the Greenbelt police investigation are still likely months away. On Ford's side, the polls and electoral conditions seem favourable now. On the other side, on key issues of housing, health care and transit, it's hard for him to make the argument he's “gotten it done.” Here's what the Toronto Star team has seen during the first week of the campaign. PLUS: The potential rewards and substantial risks of making Trump a central figure in the campaign.   This episode was produced by Julia De Laurentiis Johnston, Paolo Marques and Ed Keenan.

Isaiah proclaims the coming king who will reign in righteousness. Under His reign, the people of God will dwell safely with the true knowledge and worship of Him. Those who are foolish will be known as such, and those who are complacent will mourn over the judgment that the LORD will bring. Once the judgment is complete, the righteous King will pour out the Spirit who will cause the LORD's people to be fruitful. In this way, Isaiah preaches of the coming reign of Jesus Christ.  Rev. James Helms, Jr, pastor at Holy Cross Lutheran Church in Greenbelt, MD, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Isaiah 32:1-20.  "The Fifth Evangelist” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through Isaiah 1-39. The prophet proclaims to the people of his day and throughout history that the Holy One of Israel alone is exalted. Those who put their trust in the strength of man will be brought low, but those who trust in the LORD will see that He is their Immanuel. Jesus is God with us who reigns over the kingdom of God forever and ever! Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners.
