Four years of service in the United States Marine Corps, extensive martial arts training, and a back injury sustained from snowboarding left Tim McDevitt's body broken, weak, and in pain. Tim sought out yoga simply to strengthen his core, back, arms, and legs, but his practice evolved into the exploration of a deeper path with the holistic powers of sound baths, chakras, and breath work. In addition to touching on the community and mission of the Empowered Wellness Studio, Tim shares his perspective on various aspects of fitness, teaching methods, and the historical significance of and working with Indian clubs.Connect with Tim✩ Empowered Wellness Studio:https://www.empoweredwellnessstudio.com/✩ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/timothycmcdevitt/✩ Soulistic Sound: https://soulisticsound.com/✩ Soulistic Sound Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/soulisticsoundsllc/✩ Soulistic Sound Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61554027992488&skSupport and stay connected with the GTY community✩ Website:https://www.gtypodcast.com/✩ Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/gtypodcast/✩ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@guystalkingyogapodcast✩ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/guystalkingyogaCheck out Yoga For Dudes with Larry✩ Website:https://www.yogafordudes.com/✩ Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/@UC4yM9Mv-q7fA8VKBEyzt27A

Anger is one emotion that is directly influenced by anger. The two are so intertwined that there is no way to separate them without the truth of God. The kind of anger that makes a soul justify their anger toward the ire of their eye. Yeah anger is the one sin that fuels murder, jealousy, hatred. Strife etc. This episode we will see the extent of anger and it's causalities. Love youErick

Brent Detwiler, however, has seen quite another side of him and his ministry that has been riddled with scandals and corruption, which is what we discuss during this episode of Conversations with Jeff.

Pietism and a false interpretation of Romans 13 has led to the Conservative Evangelical Movement creating a void for the Leftists to fill within the Church. This was the topic of Pastor Sam Jones’ chapter in the book Church & State: How the Left Used the Church to Conquer America. If we want to fix the problem within our churches, we are first going to have to acknowledge where we went wrong as Conservative Christians.

There's a lot of talk within Conservative circles about the Deep State and the Swamp that needs to be drained in Washington DC. In all reality, we should take a hard look at our churches and the Evangelical System and clean up our own system. It's easy to look at politicians as being a part of a corrupt system and that THEY need to change things, but maybe we need to clean ourselves up, first.

Today's guest Pastor John MacArthur website: www.GTY.org John Fullerton MacArthur Jr. is an American pastor and author known for his internationally syndicated Christian teaching radio program "Grace to You". He has been the senior pastor-teacher of Grace Community Church in Sun Valley, California, since February 9, 1969. After a month-long tug of war, Pastor John MacArthur's Grace Community Church likely will meet indoors and in person again on Sunday after a judge refused to enforce Los Angeles County's gathering ban by court order--A huge win! Pastor MacArthur filed a declaration just before the hearing calling the restrictions on worship a misuse of state power: “The utter unnecessary deprivation of all our people by completely shutting down the mutual love and care that sustains our people in all the exigencies, pressures, and challenges of life, was cruel.” In his five-page order issued on Tuesday, California Superior Court Judge Mitchell L. Beckloff ruled the county's request for a temporary restraining order was defective, noting officials haven't cited the Grace Community for violating its health restrictions related to the coronavirus pandemic. He did not strike down the gathering ban, which will allow Los Angeles County to fine the church. We speak to Pastor MacArthur about this and many other crucial issues going on in our nation.

Welcome to Finance and Fury, the Say What Wednesday edition. This week’s question is from Shaf – “I would like to get your opinion/analysis on Australia’s ageing population, and investment opportunities that are linked to this segment of the market. For example, companies like CGF or publicly listed aged care providers.” Great question – This style of investing is along the lines of Thematic investing Thematic investing involves creating a portfolio or investing in companies involved in certain areas that you think will generate above-market returns over the long term All based on Themes – which can be based on a concept such as ageing populations or a sub-sector such as leisure Thematic can be any theme – green energy, AI or technology Aging population has been a big one for a while – first saw it come into mainstream in late 2010 Because of Australian and western nations aging populations - many developed nations are facing an ageing population - While the issue might pose some economic challenges- it has been thought of as opportunities for companies and investments into those companies “demographic time bomb” – what does it look like 1950s - across the globe, there were on average 12 people in the workforce to support each dependent. By 2050, this ratio is predicted to contract to roughly 5:1 Ageing populations are driven by increasing life expectancy and falling birth rates - typically seen in nations that have held ‘developed’ status for several decades In Australia – ABS data - currency 100 workers in the population for every 50 dependents By 2066 -Australia’s population estimated to be 50 million, there may be as many as 70 dependents for every 100 workers projected that the number of Australians aged 65 and over would more than double by 2055, compared with 2015 by 2100, it’s estimated that there will be more people aged 100 or more years than babies born in that year This demographic shift will see the public purse put under increasing strain, as a greater share of the population exit the workforce and become reliant on the government for care, medication and housing But the question still remains – is there opportunity for investors to profit from this trend? Yes and no - Keeping an older generation fit and healthy requires significant investment in certain areas such as healthcare and technology – so having some exposure in your portfolio to stocks tapped into this sector and their healthcare counterparts, may make sense – but what areas can be invested in and how to do it? This isn’t advice – not taking personal situation into account – Major areas that may benefit – asset managers, healthcare, pharma, age care, biotech and leisure companies Side note – these predictions and forecasts on aging population demographics are long term – numbers by 2050 – and require steady growth – don’t think of this as a quick investment trade to make money - come back to this Health care - The health caresector is the most obvious beneficiary of the ageing population trend. greater population of older people, there is naturally an increased demand for health care services, equipment and supplies. Deloitte analysts predict spending on healthcare will grow around 4.1% p.a. – Growth rates forecasted above GDP growth – so if this continues the right company could beat the market also government health expenditure is expected to reach 13% of GDP by 2049-2050, up from its current levels of around 7%. demographic is likely to have implications and opportunities for investment markets Pharmaceuticals - the pharmaceuticals industry will see sizeable growth as the median age shifts towards later life Studies in the US showthat 75% of individuals aged between 50-64 use at least one prescription drug regularly – same study shows that this figure rises to 91% for 80+ age bracket. This is paralleled by the dramatic increase in the number of drugs consumed by older people the 50-64 bracket in the US held prescriptions for around 13 medicines, this number rises to around 22 for patients in the 80+ age category These figures, when put into the context of an ageing population show decent long term prospects for drug and medicine producers – especially with the thematic of medical industry in general – more profitable to treat symptoms than cure Side note – medicinal cannabis on the pharmaceuticals scene are the growing - a range of pain relief and alternative therapeutics Aged-care - Retirees' living arrangements can also change as they age - move into retirement villages, then shift into residential aged care when their ability to look after themselves diminishes If this trend continues = see an increase in demand for residential aged care – so the aged-care industry is also one that should benefit from the ageing population and rising spending – this sector it is well-represented on the stock exchange But has its problems – more recently suffered from recent negative publicity concerning care practices, culminating in the announcement in September 2018 of a Royal Commission into the sector – work off tight spreads now that pricing caps got introduced and sit on the capital – so are rather volatile Biotech – medical research and Modern medicine The other part of the profound demographic trend of an ageing population is that with advances in modern medicine – aims are in general to not just make Australians live longer, they are enjoying more years in good health Lots of smaller companies with new promising technologies However - Investing in Australian biotechnology companies may present a level of risk and is generally a longer-term investment proposition High level of R&D - because the treatments must pass a number of stages of clinical trials in order to reach federal approval So a lot of these companies fall into the category of investing out of hopes as many don’t have solid cashflows with many income streams – example ACR (Acrux) – where I invested out of hope in 2014- Price went from $4 to $1 – so I jumped in – price drops was off bad news – but then prices bounced back to $2.20 – thought I was a genius – then over time the technology never took off and price went to $0.15 – learnt from this Also faces legislation risks - Stem cell applications for treating osteoarthritis have already seen significant pickup in Japan - the nation currently experiencing the worstageing population crisis – but are open to ethical and legal risks Leisure - As Australia’s transition into retirement – there may be an increase in leisure, travel – but also general entertainment spending – going out and dining Travel spending, which is comparatively highly in Australia, increases year on year for adults until age 45, after which it plateaus – but if larger populations – then more people spending But after a certain age this spending declines – generally after 75s Asset managers - retirees are also expected to live longer - which does increase longevity risk - the risk retirees will outlive their savings - creates opportunities for financial services providers to come up with products to provide income streams to retirees - Here is where Challenger falls in - One of the major challenges facing Australia's retirees and ageing population is provision of retirement income streams where Challenger has lots of annuity products and guaranteed products - Older articles on this claims that Challenger's Life segment offers fixed-rate retirement and superannuation products, which are growing strongly and will continued to do so. In 2014 - annuity sales growth was 38 per cent to $1.5 billion - But was banking off the rush to lock in annuities prior to the changes in legislation to Centrelink treatment – Risk to challenger is that is focuses on the retiree markets – and products lack flexibility super has changed since then as well – competition from other asset managers – and at risks of market crashes as these companies make money off FUM – due to administration costs – Out of these options – asset managers outside of challenger wouldn’t be a thematic for aging population – as they draw down not accumulate – it would be better to focus on accumulators as a these if you want to look at this as an option How to invest - Direct companies on the Australian Securities Exchange (ASX) ASX hosts Australia’s global healthcare shares including those developing medical devices for sleeping and hearing as well as plasma based therapies – also has access to private hospital operators in Australia, some of the biggest in the world. Other major domestic stocks include private hospital and medical centre operators as well as pathology, medical diagnostics, and pharmacy networks. Issues – themes can be wrong – but also Selecting individual winners amongst the heard Example - ASX – article back in 2014 to illustrate this – Japara Healthcare - Japara Healthcare owns and operates residential aged care facilities. It has 35 facilities and four retirement complexes throughout Victoria, South Australia, NSW and Tasmania. The company is highly dependent on government funding but the ageing population will continue to drive demand. At the moment there are just over 420,000 Australians aged 85 or over, or 2 per cent of the population. That is expected to more than double to 5 per cent by 2061. - Many investors would have seen the strong share market debut from residential aged care operator, Japara Healthcare, in mid-April 2014 – when it listed stock closed its first day at $2.70, some 35 per cent above its $2 listing price. Issued in 2014 – at around $2.70 – sitting at $0.5 Another one was gateway lifestyle – listed – did well for a bit but then "GTY" delisted as of 26/11/2018 Healthscope - Healthscope is Australia's second-largest private hospital operator, with 41 hospital. It also has a big pathology business with 578 collection centres, 69 laboratories and 46 medical centres. The company originally floated on ASX in 1994 but was bought and taken private by private equity players TPG and The Carlyle Group in 2010, and recently returned to the market in a $3.6-billion listing – then "HSO" delisted as of 11/06/2019 Primary Health Care - Primary Health Care is another play on increasing demand for medical services from an older population. It operates medical centres as well as health technology, pathology and diagnostic imaging services - Now is HLS Healius Ltd - Was at about $4.50 – now at about $3 – was trending downwards for 6 years Invocare - Invocare is the largest funeral, cemetery and crematorium industry operator in Australia, New Zealand and Singapore. It operates national brands such as White Lady. The company says the growing ageing population will increase the annual death rate from 1 per cent a year, to 2.7 per cent per annum by 2033 - $10.50 – now about the same Have been some good ones – Ramsay Health Care - Ramsay is the largest operator of private hospitals in Australia and one of the leading operators of private hospitals in the UK and France. The company is well placed to benefit from increasing private health insurance membership and an ageing population - Went through a meteoric rise from early 2000s till 2016 – stalled out since as PE and revenues have been catching up Sonic Healthcare - Sonic operates in three segments: pathology, radiology and corporate office functions/medical centre operations. The company provides medical diagnostics, laboratory and radiology services to medical practitioners, hospitals, community health services, and their collective patients. It also operates Australia's largest network of primary care medical centres - Independent Practitioner Network - as well as other healthcare businesses. – Have been a good growth prospect – pay out okay dividends – Other options - Global healthcare indexes - One way to gain exposure to the healthcare industry is via exchange-traded funds (ETFs). Several ETF issuers have created vehicles that track global healthcare indices – allows you to diversify and pick up Aus and International shares with access to these themes – purchase some of the world’s largest listed pharmaceutical companies, medical device makers and healthcare companies in one ETF There are some risks – currency risks and also the nature of ETFs with their structuring – but a more diversified way A lot of these ETFs look like they have had great returns over the past few years – a lot of that has been the devaluation of the AUD to USD – so just watch out for that – might look like companies have been doing well – but in reality major driving factor for returns has been currency In Summary - Australia’s ageing population will potentially provide tailwinds for decades to come to the economy – but can provide for additional sectors of returns – from boosting the demand for drugs, surgeries, medical devices, private hospitals, medical centres and aged-care facilities, as well as services such as nursing, pathology and radiology But Remember as well – all of this is priced into these shares – it was priced in and then they don’t perform as well – or competitors come in and they sink Industry saw massive booms back at the listing of a lot of these companies – for payoffs that may take decades – so many lost steam and values and delisted in the end Nothing wrong with investing in thematic – but not fully - All because something might sound good – might not be fundamental or it might already all be priced in based around forecasts buying stocks on the basis of a long-trend trend is a dangerous strategy if underlying value is ignored. Time will tell the full extent to which Australia’s ageing population will catalyse growth in the health care, biotechnology, pharmaceutical and leisure sectors. If you are looking at getting into the theme – probably better to select an ETF and to be patient – but know you are investing for the long term and that the growth of these industries is already priced into the shares Doesn’t mean that they still wont keep going up though Thanks for the question – anyone else Thank you for listening to today's episode.

In this episode of The GateKeepers Radio Show, host Jeff Dornik takes a look at the confusion coming out of John MacArthur's camp attempting to play both sides of the argument regarding whether Interfaith Dialogue is biblical or not. Pastor MacArthur's teachings seem to say that this evangelistic tactic should not be employed, yet GTY staffer Fred Butler claims that not only do they not have a problem with IFD, but they've hosted an IFD! But then Phil Johnson, Executive Director of Grace To You, claims that they would never sanction an IFD, although it's not unbiblical AND Jesus participated in IFDs, Himself! Question? If Jesus participated in IFD, why doesn't Grace Community Church? For more information visit gatekeepersonline.com.

In episode 67 of Fresh Tracks I speak with leadership consultant, speaker, and best-selling author Steve Farber about what it means to be a true leader. His lofty plans to change the world one person at a time through his Greater Than Yourself project are shared, along with the understanding that the highest purpose of our work is the development of other people are all discussed on the show. Steve shares that our ability to shift from a “me” perspective to an “us” perspective changes everything ranging from people wanting to be around us to the respect we receive. Running your life and your business knowing that we are all connected rather than feeling you are alone effects not only your results but how you feel as a person contributing to your company, society, and your family. Steve shares that life and business are not a win-lose, zero sum game. It’s the quality of the relationships we have are important. Our ability to create a culture of giving, to facilitate relationships and share knowledge, life lessons, connections and experience are invaluable gifts to share with others. Seeing our world and working with others from a place of giving rather than hording knowledge and information to control and have power over others are just a few of the skills that make you an extreme leader.

Farber, Steve, foreword by Patrick Lencioni and Matthew Kelly. Greater Than Yourself: The Ultimate Lesson of True Leadership. New York: Doubleday, 2009 …real leadership is not about calling yourself "leader;" rather, it's about taking up the cause to change some piece of the world for the better. Real leadership, in other words, is an extreme act rooted in love and motivated by a desire to create a better world--whether it's the world of your company, team, neighborhood, or family. Simply put, real leadership is Extreme Leadership. "There are three tenets of Greater Than Yourself," said Charles, writing upside down on the pad so it was right side up to me. "Expand Yourself, Give Yourself, and Replicate Yourself." Your job is to do whatever you can, to act in such a way that you extend and offer yourself to another, with the expressed purpose of elevating that person above yourself. "Expand Yourself, Give Yourself, and, finally, Replicate Yourself by teaching others to do exactly what you've done for them." …that, in fact, is the first element of Expand Yourself: Shift your perspective from isolated to connected; from alone to interdependent; from me to us. GTY is really just a form of very personal, one-on-one philanthropy. …a culture in which everyone reaches out not just to help, but to help each other excel. … My job is to lead the company, not to be the smartest, greatest, most talented person in the building. You want to get noticed around here? … Then use your life experience to start raising someone else up.
