What if the most dangerous move is playing it safe? We open Matthew 25 and wrestle with the Parable of the Talents as a living blueprint for money, mission, and movement. The thread running through every story and challenge is simple: how you see God shapes what you build. If you believe He's harsh, you bury. If you know He's good, you build. From fasting and prayer to a bold vision for community impact, we explore why immediate obedience beats ideal conditions and how a multiplication mindset replaces maintenance.We walk through the five-talent servant's urgency and risk, showing how trust turns resources into reach. Then we spotlight the two-talent servant, who rejects comparison and matches faithfulness, not capacity—proof that heaven rewards obedience over volume. Finally, we face the one-talent warning: fear masquerading as wisdom, safety that wastes opportunity, and bad theology that breeds small, stalled choices. Along the way, we share stories of empathy in action and a dream that reframes provision, reminding us that heaven's scale doesn't bow to our math.This conversation is for anyone tired of careful, neutral living and hungry to see gifts, time, and treasure multiplied for real people and real needs. We talk generosity, risk tolerance, practical steps to start now, and how vulnerability turns pain into a pathway for others. The invitation stands: stop overthinking, start moving, and steward what's in your hand with courage and clarity. If this resonates, share it with a friend, subscribe for more, and leave a review telling us the one step you're taking this week. Your story might be the spark someone else needs.Thanks for listening! Follow us on Facebook or YouTube.
In Joy That Grows, Pastor Shane shares how true joy is not based on circumstances but on our relationship with Christ. From Paul's opening words in Philippians, we see that joy grows through partnership in the gospel, confidence in God's faithful work in us, and love that increases in wisdom and understanding. Even in difficult seasons, we can trust that God is continuing the good work He began, shaping us to be fruitful and faithful until the day of Christ.
The 3M documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein have reignited political controversy across the United States and beyond. High-profile attorneys, international leaders, and political figures have been named in various filings and investigative materials and are resigning en mass! Among those referenced in past reporting is Donald Trump and many in his administration though no criminal charges have been announced against him related to these documents. Meanwhile, federal immigration enforcement efforts are expanding, with Immigration and Customs Enforcement increasing operations amid lawsuits and criticism over detention conditions.At the same time, data analytics giant Palantir Technologies continues securing government contracts tied to surveillance and enforcement infrastructure — raising questions from privacy advocates about oversight and civil liberties.In this video, we break down:What the Epstein-related document releases actually showWho has resigned, who is under investigation, and what's confirmedThe expansion of immigration enforcement operationsLawsuits alleging poor detention conditionsClaims about denaturalization efforts and deportation policyThe growing role of surveillance tech companies in federal operationsThis is not about partisan spin — it's about understanding the bigger picture: power, accountability, immigration policy, and the future of civil liberties in America.Watch to the end for a timeline that connects the dots.

Showing up online can feel exhausting when you're doing all the “right” things and still not seeing traction. In this episode, I'm unpacking one of the biggest questions I hear from property managers and business owners right now: should you be building a corporate brand or a personal brand? With social platforms more crowded than ever, visibility isn't about being louder or more polished – it's about being more human, more intentional, and more connected.I break down why personal brands create stronger trust, deeper relationships, and warmer conversations than business pages alone. We talk about how showing the person behind the brand actually strengthens your business, not undermines it, and why clarity, consistency, and lived experience are your biggest differentiators online. This isn't about becoming an influencer or oversharing your life – it's about being known for what you stand for and how you think.This episode is an equal parts mindset shift and practical guidance for anyone who wants to grow their business without burning out or hiding behind a logo. Whether you're a property manager, leader, or agency owner, this conversation will help you rethink how you show up, what you want to be known for, and how to build trust in a digital world that's craving real leadership. ”People don't connect with businesses. They connect with people." - Kylie WalkerWe cover:Balancing career and family in the property management industryStrategies for growing a property management businessOvercoming fear and boosting confidence in professional settingsThe importance of mindset in achieving successDifferences between personal branding and corporate brandingWhy personal brands tend to outperform corporate brands onlineThe role of trust in service-based and relationship-driven industriesKey elements of a successful personal brand (clarity, consistency, perspective, authenticity, and value)The impact of social media algorithms on personal versus corporate brandingThe significance of showing up authentically in a crowded online spaceKylie's Resources:Property Management Growth School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/TPM-BDMSchool Digital Marketing School: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/digitalschool That Property Mum Courses: https://www.thatpropertymum.com.au/courses/ The PM Accelerate Membership: https://courses.thatpropertymum.com.au/accelerate Book a Strategy Call with Kylie:

Politics used to be a battle over competing ideas, but now it's become a very real fight “between identities”: that's according to Valentina Grippo, an Italian Member of Parliament and delegate to the UN-affiliated Inter-Parliamentary Union, or IPU, which met at UN Headquarters this week in New York. A majority of MPs worldwide are facing threats and abuse from voters, according to a new IPU report which found that 71 per cent of surveyed lawmakers experienced violence from the public – whether offline, online or both. Speaking to Edouard de Bray of UN News Ms. Grippo stressed that rising polarisation and online disinformation are fuelling violence against politicians and undermining democratic debate worldwide.

Support appears to be firming for Angus Taylor to win the Liberal leadership, as those behind current opposition leader Sussan Ley privately paint a grim picture of her chances.At nine o'clock today, federal Liberal MPs and senators will hold a meeting to vote on a leadership spill.Yesterday there was a run of high-profile resignations from the shadow ministry, including Michalea Cash, James Paterson, Jonno Duniam, and Dan Tehan.Sussan Ley's been opposition leader for nine months, and is the first woman to head up the Liberals at a federal level.The federal government's announced $87 million over four years to support survivors of the stolen generations.The funding will go towards services such as family tracing and reunification, health, and access to redress.More than a hundred survivors are also gathering at federal parliament house this morning to mark the 18th anniversary of the national apology to the Stolen Generations made by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd.More intense rainfall is expected in Queensland's south east today.The weather bureau's warning heavy rain could lead to dangerous flash flooding.Meanwhile the full extent of damage is being assessed after flash flooding in Alice Springs in central Australia.The Trump administration's ending the immigration crackdown in the US state of Minnesota that led to thousands of arrests, violent protests and the fatal shootings of two US citizens over the past two months.Donald Trump's border tsar Tom Homan claims it was the largest immigration enforcement operation ever, touting it as a success.But the actions of ICE immigration officers attracted global outrage after they fatally shot Renee Good and Alex Pretti in the city of Minneapolis.And Cooper Woods has become just the seventh Australian to win gold in Winter Olympic history, triumphing in the men's mogul skiing in Livigno.The 25-year-old came into the event having never won a world cup event, but registered a score of 83.71, level with Canada's Mikael Kingsbury.Woods was declared the winner based on the turns component, while fellow Australians Matt Graham and Jackson Harvey finished in fifth and eighth respectively.

There are people who do the right thing, making a difficult decision guided by the Torah, fully expecting to one day see the good that will come from it. Yet sometimes, not only do they fail to see any immediate benefit, but with time it can even appear as though the decision was a mistake. Years pass, and from our limited vantage point it may look as if the person actually lost by doing what Hashem wanted. But Hashem does not test a person only for a week, a month, or even a year. At times, tests in emunah are designed to last for decades. Throughout those years, the Yetzer Hara repeatedly tries to convince the person to regret his decision and to discourage him from making similar choices in the future. But the rule never changes. A person always gains by following Hashem. No one ever fulfilled His will and lost as a result. It may look like a loss, because that is part of the test, but in the end the person will see that he only gained, and that the gain was far greater than he could have ever imagined. The longer the test lasts, the greater the reward. When a person must hold on to his emunah for many years, continuing to trust that choosing correctly will ultimately bring blessing, the reward becomes exponentially greater. Eventually, he will see not only how much he gained in this world, but even more so how much he gained in the next. The Be'er HaParashah related a story of a man from Israel, whom we will call Shemuel. Shortly after his marriage, Shemuel received a very large inheritance, enough at the time to purchase two apartments outright, without any mortgage. He planned to invest the money in real estate so that one day he could give apartments to his children when they married. Before doing anything, he went to ask a rabbi for guidance. The rabbi advised him to invest the money in a loan gemach instead. The funds would help many people over the years, and when the time came, the money would still be there. This, the rabbi said, would be a far better investment. Shemuel accepted the advice. Twenty years later, when his first son was ready to get married, he withdrew the money from the gemach. By then, housing prices had skyrocketed, and the amount was no longer enough to buy even one standard apartment. He began questioning himself: Why did I ask the rabbi? Friends added to the pain, telling him that when it comes to investing money, one should consult financial experts, not rabbis. But the story did not end there. Several years later, after Shemuel merited, with Hashem's help, to marry off all eight of his children, he reflected on the entire shidduch process and realized something remarkable. Six of his children received full apartments from their in-laws. Two received only partial help. At that moment, Hashem illuminated his mind with a powerful insight. According to his own calculations, the inheritance should have been enough to easily take care of two children, while for the remaining six he would have had to struggle mightily to raise the necessary funds. In reality, Hashem reversed the picture entirely. The six children for whom he had no plan and no money were completely taken care of from Heaven. The two children he thought he was financially prepared for were the ones for whom he had to contribute significantly from his own pocket. It took many years for him to recognize the good hidden within his decision, and throughout that time the Yetzer Hara tried to convince him to regret it. In the end, as always, he gained far more than he could have ever dreamed of. And that is only what was visible. The true gains are infinitely greater. When a person can hold on to his emunah for years, trusting in Hashem's system even when the results are delayed, he will see that he did not only gain in this world. His greatest reward is preserved for all eternity.

If your company is objectively successful but leadership feels heavier, more personal, and more draining than you expected, you're not imagining it. For many women founders running businesses in the one to ten million dollar range, leadership strain shows up right as things start working. This week, Eleanor is joined by Lia Garvin, a workplace expert who has led and advised teams inside some of the most operationally demanding organizations in the world, including Apple and Google. Drawing from her experience and her book The Unstoppable Team, Lia breaks down what actually happens when responsibility accumulates faster than structure. Listen in to learn how unclear expectations, fuzzy accountability, and incomplete systems quietly force founders to absorb pressure that should live in the business. Together, Eleanor and Lia unpack why founders become the default escalation point, how responsiveness and availability quietly trap leaders in reactivity, and the critical difference between having people doing the work versus owning outcomes.

Part 2 in our series looks at Ezekiel 47 and the place of church in society.
The Kingdom Grows in Silence Today's Homily focuses on Jesus' parables of the seed . . . . . . and mustard seed from the Gospel of Mark along with the story of King David's sin and repentance from the Book of Samuel. The Mysterious, Gradual, and Often Hidden Nature of Spiritual Growth The Homily highlights the mysterious, gradual, and often hidden nature of spiritual growth in the Kingdom of God. Just as seeds grow quietly in the soil without human control, grace works slowly and inevitably within receptive hearts. David's fall with Bathsheba illustrates humanity's constant vulnerability to sin . . . even among the chosen and favored . . . while Psalm 51 gives voice to repentance and the hope of interior transformation. Against this backdrop, Jesus' parables reveal that God's Kingdom does not arrive through spectacle or instant change, but through small beginnings, patient faith, and sustained growth nourished within the soil of the Church. True understanding of Christ's teaching requires not only intellectual effort but a living relationship with Him. From baptism to the Eucharist, God plants His life within us like a seed, promising that . . . even when it seems small or insignificant . . . it carries within it the power to grow, transform, and bear abundant fruit for the life of the world. Listen to this Meditation Media.

February 8, 2026 Morning Service. When we live a life of faith, it is not something that is done on autopilot. It takes a conscious effort to ground ourselves in the things of God in order to avoid allowing our sinful natures to draw us away. In this week's sermon, Pastor John Friederich explores the words of Jesus to show us why this is so important and what the benefits are from doing so. (John 15:1-8)

In this Friday Headline Brief of The Wright Report, Bryan sounds the alarm on a clandestine Chinese biolab discovered in Las Vegas, tied to the same Chinese national behind the infamous California lab raid involving dangerous viruses, dead animals, and fraudulent COVID test schemes. He then covers explosive new inconsistencies in the Jeffrey Epstein jail death investigation, including missing evidence, conflicting officer statements, and questions the DOJ still refuses to answer. Back in Washington, Bryan breaks down the looming DHS shutdown as Democrats push demands that would effectively cripple ICE, while some Republicans float compromise plans that Bryan warns could be disastrous. The episode closes with encouraging economic and medical news, including rising wages for American truckers as illegal drivers are removed, factory growth beating expectations, falling remittances to Mexico, promising breakthroughs in cholesterol treatment, inspiring longevity research from Spain, and simple evidence that family dinners may be one of the most powerful tools to protect children.

Daniel Scharff, founder of Startup CPG, joins the Grow Everything podcast to share how he built the world's largest community for emerging consumer brands. With 35,000 members in their Slack channel and over 75 in-person events annually, Startup CPG is democratizing access to retail buyers, investors, and industry resources that would typically cost founders thousands in consulting fees. Daniel discusses the harsh realities of CPG entrepreneurship—including why only 20-25% of brands survive beyond a few years—and shares his playbook for success: prioritize great branding and taste over health claims, build scrappy and resourceful, and delay fundraising until you can command a meaningful valuation. He reveals patterns he's observed across thousands of brands, from the danger of copycat products in oversaturated categories (looking at you, chili crisps and prebiotic sodas) to the power of in-person connections for discovering innovation. Daniel also explains why Startup CPG operates on a "do good, do well" model, offering free resources to brands while building a sustainable business through sponsorships and events—and why he believes this approach could transform other industries beyond CPG.Grow Everything brings the bioeconomy to life.

AP Washington correspondent Sagar Meghani reports on the Senate GOP rejecting Democrat demands, as the showdown continues over Homeland Security funding and how federal immigration officers operate.
Our first guest Darren describes his investigations on local marshes in Cheshire, where he's seen a black leopard, chased by his dog. This happened after his previous encounters with similar looking cats nearby, including on a disused golf course. Some of Darren's encounters have been close up, and most have involved dogs around as well. Darren explains how these events have motivated him to search for more evidence and do a Youtube channel. For our second guest we have an update from Liz in Cumbria, where a mother and cub, presumed black leopards, have been visiting the area. Liz has six more big cat events to describe around her farmhouse from the past year. She discusses what appears to be a young male big black cat loitering around the property. It shows far less predictable behaviour than the mother's calm vibes. Words of the week: Panthera pardus Britannica5 February, 2026

President Trump and the GOP are in a growing panic over ICE. Trump's advisers are sinking into recriminations. Republican officials are publicly admitting that his immigration agenda “seems to be not working” and that the GOP is “losing” the political battle over it. Others are suggesting that Alex Pretti's killing was “murder” and that it's time to “recalibrate.” Yet MAGA figures are pulling in the other direction. Media Matters has a good roundup: Many are urging Trump to escalate, with white supremacist Nick Fuentes labeling Pretti a “race traitor.” MAGA doesn't want to let the GOP even appear to moderate. We talked to Jennifer Rubin, editor-in-chief of The Contrarian, who has a new piece urging Democrats to seize this moment. We discuss how MAGA's white nationalism has landed “moderate” Republicans in a trap, why this provides an opening to divide the Trump coalition, and what Democrats can do to demonstrate that they side with the American people against Trump-MAGA's violent lawlessness.
