Podcasts about Haggar

Send us a textWhen we make decisions in life we don't often know how they will turn out what what effects it will have on us or our families later. This applies doubly then we decide to break God's laws, never fully understanding the impact. Would Adam really have eaten the fruit if he knew how many millions of people would suffer? Would Abraham have taken Haggar if he knew of the repercussions that would follow that decision thousands of years later?If this episode Robert and Andrew discuss the decisions of the Israelites and how that affected their household for generations.Support the showQuestions or Comments?

Nothing can beat a charismatic frontman. Then again, there are some Side Players that give them a run for their money. I mean… who is Bono without Edge? Freddie Mercury without Brian May? Roth or Haggar without Eddie Van Halen? Robert Plant without Jimmy Page? Anthony Kiedis without John Frusciante? Bon Scott or Brian Johnson without Angus & Malcolm? Or Mick Jagger without Keith Richards.Of course I would be remiss not to mention the few charismatic Frontmen that are also ripping guitarists. Like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Either of the Vaughn Brothers, Derek Trucks, Prince, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill… and lets just say ALL of the Kings.But which is it better to be, a Frontman or a Side Player? Can you be both? Which carries more stress? Which carries more fame? Does one roll have more significance than the other? Who has the bigger influence on the sound? If we could give some advice, what would it be? When I think of a band, which member  comes to mind? And… job security… did I just get fired?Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.

The complexity of cyber security implications for businesses, and therefore their lawyers, “has exploded” in the last few years, and the proliferation of artificial intelligence (AI) being used in such criminal activity cannot be understated. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Norton Rose Fulbright partner and Australian head of cyber security Annie Haggar to discuss how and why this year is so busy for cyber lawyers, the proliferation of election disinformation and misinformation and how this impacts cyber lawyers, how the nature of such legal work will continue shifting ahead of 2030, and how data breaches involving AI are changing the game. Haggar also delves into how businesses can navigate the threat of AI and its intersection with cyber security, whether this intersection is the next frontier for cyber lawyers, lessons from recent case law involving Medibank and an ASIC proceeding involving a financial services provider, and what the rest of the year looks like for lawyers in this space.

THE GOD WHO SEESThis fortnight we are delighted to be joined, all the way from the UK, by Kate Coleman. Kate shares her journey as one who is passionate about breaking ground for God. Both as one that was saved from no Christian background, thrown into Christian leadership in a tradition that initially did not recognise her as a leader, and a multiplicity of ways that she has been breaking ground ever since. Kate was the first Black Female Ordained within her tradition in the UK, and she has become critically acclaimed for her influence across the British church for her reflections on leadership shifts required in our churches. One of the highlights of this conversation was her reflections upon Haggar, and the God who sees us. Both when we are discouraged and despondent, and yet sensing the call to Pioneer. But also for those who are in seats of power with the potential to release others into leadership!

Daily Dose of Hope April 9, 2024  Day 3 of Week 2   Scripture reading for today – Genesis 21-23 Psalm 107; Mark 8   Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope.  Please keep me posted on how you are doing with your daily Bible reading.  I know keeping up with the reading can be a challenge but I do feel like it is worth it.  God is good and he will honor our efforts.  We have to know God's Word to live God's Word.   The drama continues in Genesis!  What I find so fascinating is that nothing is really held back in Scripture.  There is no pretending that these people who God works through don't have faults.  Rather, their faults are front and center for all to see.  And today we see more of the this.  Isaac, the son of Abraham and Sarah, is born and Sarah is once again enraged with Haggar and Ishmael.  She feels like Ishmael is mocking Isaac so she decides to throw them both out of household.  Thus, Haggar is back out in the desert with her son.  There is probably a lot to say about Sarah's cruelty and jealousy, but for now I just want to focus on how God once again meets Haggar in the desert.  In her darkest hour, God shows up.  He provides everything her little family needs to survive.  Think about your own life.  How has God shown up in the middle of your deserts?   The next chapter has Abraham almost sacrificing his son, Isaac.  This passage has always kind of bothered me.  It seems inconsistent with God's character to want Abraham to kill his son.  And remember, when something seems off, we need to dig deeper.  What is God doing here?  In the past, Abraham doubted God.  Think about all the mishaps we have been reading about.  He tried to have children his own way instead of waiting on God.  He repeatedly tried to pass Sarah off as a sister instead of his wife. By asking Abraham to sacrifice Isaac, God was testing Abraham.  Does Abraham finally trust God?  He is finally ready to trust in God's provision?  I don't think God ever intended harm to come to Isaac.  I think he wanted to see how much Abraham had grown.   Besides that, this passage is a beautiful foretelling of another sacrifice.  God himself sacrificed his only son in order for us to be reconciled to a holy God.  John 3:16, For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.    Now, let's jump to Mark 8.  Again, there is a lot of great substance here but I want to focus on the end of the chapter, specifically verses 34-38.  This is a pretty tough passage about what it means to truly be a disciple of Jesus.    Somehow, in our American Christian lifestyles we have lost sight of what it means to really be a disciple. We tend to think that being a disciple is about going to church, being a good person, and maybe sometimes giving some money to a worthy cause. We have narrowed down discipleship to a list of tasks. We have accepted comfort and being good enough. How wrong we have been.  Being a disciple of Jesus is not about tasks, it is certainly not about comfort, but all about heart.  There is self-sacrifice and maybe even some pain involved.  Jesus says, “Whoever wants to be my disciple must deny themselves and take up their cross and follow me.” Wow. How many of us like to deny ourselves?  That doesn't sound very comfortable.  We also have to take up our cross.  Ouch. Carrying a cross doesn't sound like much fun either.  I would imagine it would be heavy and quite difficult.  And yet, this is how Jesus describes following him. Then, he says that those who want to gain their lives will have to lose them. Total surrender to him.  We are no longer our own.  We belong to Jesus.  Are you ready to be a true disciple of Christ?   I didn't touch on Psalm 107 today but do take some time to read through it.    Let's chat again tomorrow.  Have a great day!   Blessings, Pastor Vicki  

Daily Dose of Hope April 7, 2024  Day 1 of Week 2 Scripture reading for today – Genesis 16-18; Mark 6 Welcome back to the Daily Dose of Hope, the daily devotional that complements New Hope Church's Bible Reading Plan.  Our aim is to read the Bible in a year, growing in our walk with Jesus along the way.  If you recall, at the end of last week, we met Abram and talked about how God promised to make him a father of many nations.  Despite some bad choices, God uses Abram in a powerful way.  We see the continuation of this in today's Scripture.  God promises to give Abram and Sarai a son but when it doesn't happen in their timing, they decide to take matters in their own hands.  Sarai devises a plan to have Abram sleep with her handmaid, Haggar, in order to bear him a son.  When Haggar does get pregnant, Sarai isn't happy at all.  Despite the fact that this was all her idea, Sarai becomes furious with Haggar and abuses her.  Haggar leaves and heads into the desert, a dangerous scenario for a pregnant handmaid in those days.  But God meets her there.  He sends an angel who tells her to go back to Sarai and promises that her son, Ishmael, will be a strong and defiant man.  I used to read this Scripture and really burn with anger toward Sarai.  Why was she so mean to Haggar and why didn't she just trust God to begin with?  But over the years, I've realized how often I take matters into my own hands, I don't wait for God's timing, I jump the gun and say and do things without listening to God's clear instructions to wait on him.  While I in no way condone her treatment of Haggar, it's easy to see how she burned with jealousy.  She wanted to be the one who was pregnant with Abram's child!  She wanted to see God's promise come true right now!!!  Of course, we know the end of the story.  God's mercies are so very good.  He cared for Haggar in her hour of need, and he cared with Sarai, despite her disobedience.  And God also cares for us, despite ours.  What's fascinating to me about this power couple, Abram and Sarai, is how very normal they are.  They have times in which they make such crazy choices that leave us scratching our heads and then they have times in which their obedience toward God is incredible.  After the Sarai and Haggar situation, we move right into God's covenant with Abram.  This is when God changes Abram's name to Abraham and changes Sarai's name to Sarah.  God tells Abraham to circumcise all the men in his household and he does it.  He doesn't argue, he doesn't complain and talk about how painful it will be; he just obeys.  God reconfirms his promise to give Abraham the land of Canaan, to give him a son through Sarah (he's more specific this time!), and make him the father of many nations.  From that point forward, circumcision was a sign of belonging to the people of God.  It's easy to spend a lot of time on the Genesis scripture because there is a lot of it but I hope you also made it through Mark 6.  There is a lot of substance there as well!  I wanted to focus on just one portion of that chapter, verses 6-13, when Jesus sends out his disciples.  I've always had a particular affinity toward this Scripture.  I like to picture Jesus telling his disciples to go into the towns two by two, take nothing with them, and simply preach about the Kingdom, telling people to repent.  I wonder what they are thinking – are they scared and apprehensive like I might be, do they consider changing professions?  The best part of the Scripture to me is that they did it; they did exactly what Jesus told them to do.  This was such a huge step of faith.  I mean, they brought nothing with them!  They didn't pack snacks or make sure the local inn had space for them, just in case.  They trusted Jesus.  And the message he had them preach was simple – Repent!  I think sometimes we make things way too hard and complicated.  If we just did what Jesus said to do and trusted his guidance, how much easier things would be for us.  Please know I'm saying this to myself as well.  But here is the thing – Jesus sends all of us out into the towns to preach about him.  The disciples were sent and so are we (after all, we are his disciples too!) Jesus sends us into our neighborhoods, our workplaces, our communities, and our families.  What message are we preaching into these places?  What message do you bring with you? Blessings, Pastor Vicki

Here, we unpack the recently released 2023–2030 Australian Cyber Security Strategy, its implications for lawyers and legal service providers, and the best practice principles that will be pertinent moving forward. In this episode of The Lawyers Weekly Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Cyber GC founder principal Annie Haggar (a former winner of the General Counsel of the Year category at the Australian Law Awards) to discuss how and why the federal government's new cyber security strategy has emerged, how Australia is faring relative to overseas counterparts on cyber matters at present, and the headline takeaways for lawyers and legal services providers from the new strategy. Ms Haggar also dives into how the market has responded to the new strategy, the extent to which various legal practice areas have received suitable guidance, the questions lawyers, firms, and teams must be asking of themselves and their businesses, whether proactive refusal of work from those whose processes aren't up to scratch should be implemented, why lawyers must be at the heart of cyber responses moving forward, and why lawyers need to view cyber as part and parcel of their duties to the courts, clients, and the broader community.

Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney  ...  Righteous indignation of the end times:   (Comments by Joan Boney)    I believe we live in the end times now.  Wickedness increases on the earth and in the apostate churches and that signals the wrath of God that is to come upon this earth as judgment from God for that is not far away.   In the past years, I was furious over that which I was seeing in the churches.  Pastors were adding things to the Bible and telling their congregations things which were not in the Bible.   In one non-denominational church that I visited, the pastor said:  "Sarah and Haggar were 1/2 sisters."  When I got home, I searched the Bible and couldn't find that which Pastor taught.  I called Pastor and told him I was in his church service when he said this and I told him I could not find this in the Bible and I asked him, "Where this is in the Bible?"   Pastor replied:  "I can't remember where it is in the Bible."   I said, "It's very important to me, so would you look it up and tell your secretary where it is and have her call me and tell me?"   Pastor was very quiet for a few seconds and then he replied with great anger saying:  "Okay ... It's not in the Bible!"     (That pastor lied to me, pretending he couldn't remember where it was in the Bible while he knew it wasn't in the Bible and he just made it up and spoke it to the congregation by his own will.)   All this is very evil and disturbed me greatly.   Pastor did not show any sorrow nor did Pastor repent over what he did.  How can this be?

What do you wish you knew when you first got started? We spend way too much wondering how things could have been different, but we also don't spend nearly enough time learning from people ahead of us to make sure we don't repeat the same mistakes. Our guest today Jeff decided to write a book titled When: Things I Wish I Knew When I Was STARTING OUT, STARTING OVER, and Trying To GET AHEAD.  Jeff has spent the last 38 years traveling a journey of success, failure, the highest of highs and the lowest of lows. A journey that started with a desire to be a teacher that was put on hold by a new desire to become a leader of a company. Now after a successful career as a senior executive for companies like Michaels, Fossil and Haggar, Jeff has come back to where his journey started. The desire to teach and mentor. He wants to help individuals and companies reach their full potential. His passions are two-fold.  First, is to help individuals realize how to get the most out of themselves. To help assist them with getting rid of all the anchors of doubt that weigh people down and stop them from finding their true passion. He wants you to find fulfillment in your life and career. His belief is not just to dream the impossible but actually do it. Second, Jeff's corporate experience can still prove invaluable for any company that is looking to make a change or trying to figure out how to get out of troubled waters. https://amzn.to/30Aj94S (Buy When on Amazon) Topics Covered: Having the courage to leave home and start fresh Balancing family time and career Creating an epic connection with your kids You don't have to have everything to be an intentional father How to connect with guest https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeff-wellen-095a851/ (LinkedIn) https://www.jeffwellen.com/ (Website) Thank you for Listening to the Episode!

With consumers increasingly demanding ethical business practices, one of the biggest priorities for law departments this year must be to bolster standards and expectations for a business' suppliers and partners, says one award-winning GC. On this episode of The Corporate Counsel Show, host Jerome Doraisamy welcomes back Accenture strategic partnerships global legal lead Annie Haggar (who won General Counsel of the Year at the 2021 Australian Law Awards) to discuss the nature and state of affairs in ecosystem relationships, the need to respond to increasing consumer demand for ethical business practices, identifying practical steps to operationalise change and balancing proactive and reactive action to improve supply chains. Ms Haggar also delves into where improving supply chains sits in the triage of urgent priorities in 2022, opportunities that can and will arise from solving supply chain issues, how doing so can elevate one's sense of self as a legal professional, lessons learned from such tasks, and becoming more than just a GC in such action.

Hello, hello and welcome to the Marios Podcast. You are listening to a series on the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. This is episode four, so if you are just joining us, guess what(?), you can binge listen all four episodes on your favorite podcast app, or at mariosministries.com! And I do recommend you go back now and start with episode one.  That will provide you the necessary context and background for today's discussion.  I am so thankful that you are listening though. I believe God is speaking to us through this study and revealing Himself to us in very special ways, so I hope you endure until the end.  Today, the God of Abraham, Part 4.  We left Abraham after receiving a reiteration of God's promise towards him and actually receiving a sign of the “Abrahamic covenant,” remember that term? And do you remember what was the sign? That's right, it was circumcision. God also changed Abram's name to Abraham, for he was going to be the father of multitudes. God also change Sarai's name to Sarah.  Abraham then did what God asked of him. On the very day he received the message from God, He circumcised himself, Ishmael (the son he had had with Haggar, which we also learned was NOT the son of the promise) and his whole household. So, we pick up now in Genesis chapter 18.  Here we learned that the Lord appeared to Abraham by the oaks of Mamre. The text tells us he looked up and saw three quote-unquote “men” (we'll discuss more about why I put that in quotes) and he ran to them. He bowed before them and listen to how he speaks, “O Lord, [he says] if I have found favor in your sight, do not pass by your servant….” And in that manner, he offers them refreshment and rest through his hospitality. Abraham seems to recognize these men, these beings, as coming from God, by the way he treats them. One of them seems to speak from the Lord. Some have suggested these was the presence of the pre-incarnate Jesus, but we have nothing to really go on that. Perhaps we can say they are heavenly beings; I'll show you why in a second.  But, whoever they are, these messengers from God accept Abrahams invitation and he and Sarah work to make them feel honored. As they eat, they ask Abraham, where is your wife? And he says, she in a tent.  This is important, I want to slow down here so that we can all get what is happening. The Lord is going to speak and with this sort of calling out to Sarah, it's almost like he is drawing her inn. She needs to hear what God is going to say. She is in fact standing behind the door and will now surely be attentive. Here's why I say this is important. In the Hebrews 11 passage we have already referenced in previous episodes, the Hall of Faith passage, as it is known, Abraham's faith is not the only one mentioned. Sarah's is also mentioned, independent of Abraham.  Here's Hebrews 11: 11: “By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised.” Do you see that? By faith Abraham believed God. But it was by faith also that Sarah herself will conceived past her child-bearing years. Don't forget that as we read this scene.  The Scriptures tell us that “the Lord said [to Abraham], ‘I will surely return to you about this time next year, and Sarah your wife shall have a son.”  Now, before we get into Sarah's reaction. Let us consider that the term Lord here is different from the term that Abraham used when he first saw the men. In our English Bible the difference can be missed because it is merely identified as Lord in small letters or lord in small capital letters. The term Abraham used in the beginning is in small letters. It is the Hebrew word Adonai, meaning lord or masters. But Here, when Scripture tells us who is speaking the term is Lord in all small caps, it means Yahweh, which you've probably heard was not pronounced for the Jews but it refers to the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob, the God of the Israelites specifically.  So, what we are about to hear are the very words of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. That's what this, “The lord said, in verse 10 means.” It can get confusing with the three beings, but let's stay alert.  Now, Sarah, again is listening to this behind the tent and she laughs saying, “After I am worn out, and my lord is old, shall I have pleasure?”  On the one hand, you can sympathize with her, just as we did with Abraham. Think about it, the Lord gave this promise to Abraham decades before when they were younger, and nothing happened. That was the whole Haggar episode, right. They can't have children, so they are going to “help God” fulfill his promise. God rejected that and insists she will bear a son, even now.  It is almost as if God wanted to wait until the day when they could not, humanly speaking, rear children, beyond any medical issues that she might have had, so as to leave no doubt who was bringing this child about. The time is now where both Abraham and Sarah scientifically unable to bear children.  And that is the point, isn't it? It is as though, this is the perfect time now for the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob to shine.  The Lord said to Abraham, why did Sarah laugh and say, ‘shall I indeed bear a child, now in that I am old?' Is anything too hard for the Lord?  That question still reverberates throughout the earth's atmosphere. Is anything too hard for the Lord? Remember that as you face your own struggles, your own impossible promise. Is anything too hard for the Lord?  The answer is plain. Which is why Sarah, sort of comes to her senses and, realizing what she has done, she tries to deny that she had laugh because she was afraid. Which is, of course, is another bone headed move. Can we hide anything from God? Of course not, and God calls Sarah out on it on verse 15, saying, “No, but you did laugh.”  Always remember, let the fear of the Lord lead you to repentance. There is no fooling God.  But do not lose sight of what we are doing here. We are getting to know the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in very meaningful way. Nothing is impossible for him. And nothing is hidden from him. He is omniscient, that is he knows everything, and he is omnipotent, that is, he is all powerful. This is our God.  The story then shifts. Genesis 18:16 tells us that the men that were with Abraham “looked down toward Sodom” this is where Abraham's nephew Lot chose to live. Abraham goes to send them on their way and God says, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?” He continued, “For I have chosen him… to keep the way of the Lord by doing righteousness and justice…”  Again, we must step back and stand in awe of this God. The God of Abraham, cares. He is going to reveal His plan to Abraham, out of His great love for his children. He is going to invite him in into his plan and revealed his sovereign will.  The Lord said, “Because the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is great and their sin is very grave, I will go down to see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me. And if not. I will know.”  The story tells us that the men that were visiting him went towards Sodom, but the Lord remain with Abraham. Then Abraham drew near to God and said, “Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Supposed there are fifty righteous within the city. Will you then sweep away the place and not spare it for the fifty righteous who are in it? 25 Far be it from you to do such a thing…” Abraham is assuming, as we all do most times, that there are about 50-50 righteous and unrighteous in any given place. Don't we assume that? But that is not reality. The Lord tells him, “If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will spare the whole place for their sake.”  So, Abraham presses the matter, “Behold, I have undertaken to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes.  Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking. Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?” So he's asking if there's forty five.  God again is clear, “I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there.”  Abraham continues this line of thought and asks about 40, 30, 20, and the Lord answers him, with incredible love and patience on each, even emphasizing, “For the sake of ten I will not destroy it.” And the Lord leaves.  Friends, listen closely, especially you young people, or if you have kids. We have a generation today that is eager to fight for justice. Listen closely, you are not more compassionate the Jesus. You are not more loving than our God. You are not even close to being as interested in the wellbeing of the poor, the marginalized and the oppressed than the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob.  Indeed, if you want to fight for justice, stop following the fads of the world and come under the guidance and authority of Scripture, of the Word of the One True Judge of heaven and earth. It is the only way to change the world.  We get to chapter 19 here, in the book of Genesis, where Scripture reveals to us that the two that left Abraham where angels who are now entering Sodom. Lot was at the gate and sees them, bowed before them and asks them to come to his house to spend the night (similar to the way Abraham received them, somehow, they both knew these were messengers from God). They refuse at first, saying they would stay at the town square, but he insists, and they acquiesce. He serves them but soon the hospitality turns to horror as the real reason why God had sent the angels there was revealed.  The wickedness of the people of Sodom, except Lot, had become so great that they headed down to Lots house and demanded that he gave the two angels to them the they may, [quote] “know them” [end quote].  This phrase to know them, of course, is the same type of phrase used in Genesis 4:1 when Adam “knew his wife Eve,” and she became pregnant, so we know the level of corruption that the Sodomites had reached.  It is hard for us to imagine, but we can see why God had heard the cry against these people who would sexually assault strangers in this manner. Verse 4 of Chapter 19 tells us that “both young and old, all the people to the last man, surrounded the house to demand this.  Lot went out to try to calm them down saying, “I beg you, my brothers, do not act so wickedly.” But they are enraged now. The level of tension is so violent Lot offers to bring out his two daughters instead. We really don't know if he's just trying to buy time, for this is a horrible proposition too, but they are not having it and they push him against him, threatening to deal with him even worse than with the angels, who they intend to grab by force. Verse 9 says they “drew near to break the door down,” when the angels reached out, grabbed him and brought him in. They struck everyone with blindness. And, as you can imagine is chaos ensued.  They tell Lot and his family to get out of the city for they will destroy it.  Lot tells his sons-in-law who were supposed to marry his two daughters, but they don't take him seriously.  The angels say to him, “Up! Take your wife and your two daughters who are here, lest you be swept away in the punishment of the city.”  But he lingered. The angels seized him and his wife and his two daughters by the hand, the Lord being merciful to him, Scripture says, and they brought him out and set him outside the city.  Just think of the patience and care of the God of Abraham.  The angels tell him, “Escape for your life. Do not look back or stop anywhere in the valley. Escape to the hills, lest you be swept away.”  Lot pleads to be allowed to go to a nearby city and he is allowed to do so. The angel says, “Behold, I grant you this favor also, that I will not overthrow the city of which you have spoken. Escape there quickly, for I can do nothing till you arrive there.”  Lot get there with the rising of the sun and Scripture tells us, “the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven.  And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.”  This too is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob friends. He will not put up with wickedness forever. He will intervene on behalf of the oppressed. And woe to those who are the oppressors, they will know true justice.  Will pick up here next time.

Today, Pastor Bill will draw a parallel between Abraham's wives and sons. Abraham's son Isaac represents God's promise and providence... Whereas the law is represented by Haggar and her son. The law refers to the biblical laws of the old testament. People can often become obsessed with upholding the law, some even become obsessive in making that others keep the law down to the last detail. This type of obsessive behavior can cause people to lose sight of what truly matters... the grace of Jesus.
