How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of a herald, who proclaims peace and preaches good news, who proclaims salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God is king!" (Isaiah 52:7). Amen.Merriam-Webster recently tried correcting the wording of a classic Christmas hymn. But the self-proclaimed "America's Most Trusted Dictionary" ended up with eggnog on its face. In a now-deleted post to social media platform X, Merriam-Webster tried to edit the Christmas hymn "What Child Is This?" by posting "Which* Child Is This?"As an author and public speaker, I'm very interested in proper words and correct English. But the online dictionary is just wrong. The dictionary presented themselves as smug, but even more biblically incorrect. The hymn isn't asking, "Which of these Jewish children born in Bethlehem is this?" That's a question of location. The hymn is asking, "What kind of child is this?" That's a question of theology."What Child is This?" was written in 1865 by William Chatterton Dix and was later paired with the ancient tune of "Greensleeves," which dates to the 16th century. In the first verse, the hymn answers the question of "What child is this?" with this statement, "This is Christ the King, whom shepherds guard and angels sing."St. John also answers the question of "What Child is this?" by stating, "The Word became flesh and dwelled among us. We have seen his glory, the glory he has as the only-begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14).Verse 1: What child is this who, laid to rest, On Mary's lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet With anthems sweet While shepherds watch are keeping? This, this is Christ the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing. Haste, haste to bring him laud, The babe, the Son of Mary!What child is this who is sleeping on Mary's lap? This is no ordinary baby. It is a Child that the angels fill the night sky to sing about. It is a Child that shepherds leave their flocks to run and see. Why? Because this is no ordinary baby. This is Christ the King. He is the baby, the Son of Mary ... but so much more.St. John writes about this baby. "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him everything was made, and without him not one thing was made that has been made" (John 1:1-3).This baby is no ordinary baby. He is also the God who formed a human body out of the dust of the ground. He is the God who was formed as a baby in the womb of the Virgin Mary. God breathed into the man's nostrils the breath of life and his heart started beating. He is the God whose very human baby heart started beating in the sixth week after his conception by the Holy Spirit within the womb of Mary. About 7 ½ months later, the Virgin gave birth to the Christ Child, and he took his first breaths of the air he had created.The One who created life was alive in the womb for 9 months, then was born on Christmas Day.The Word through whom everything was called into existence was now the Word made flesh.The One who had walked among the stars and would one day walk on water, would have to learn how walk with shaky, little toddler steps.The One who made the thunders clap would enjoy clapping his chubby, little baby hands in joy.The One who had set up a marvelous system where animals from antelope to zebras would be fed, would have to be fed with milk from his mother's breast.The One who would be like every child everywhere who has rolled mud in his hands to make a snake, would one day be pierced by the ancient snake of the Devil.Verse 2: Why lies he in such mean estate Where oxen now are feeding? Good Christians, fear; For sinners here The silent Word is pleading. Nails, spear shall pierce him through; The cross he'll bear for me, for you. Hail, hail the Word made flesh, The babe, the Son of Mary!If this Child is more than just the Son of Mary, why does he lie in such mean estate? Why is this baby lying in such lowly conditions, where the oxen are feeding? The Son of God came low to be among his lowly people. We are made poor and lowly by our sins. We are born in sin. We are dead in our sins. All we can do is evil – in our thoughts, in our words, and in our actions. We sin in what we do. We sin in what we fail to do. All that sin causes us to die. Dying with sin, wickedness, and unbelief, we are destined to an eternal death in hell.What Child is this? A Child that was born to save us from sin, death, and hell.The One who breathed life into the first man was now a man who needed to breathe to live.The One who started Adam's heart beating was the second Adam whose heart was beating.All that was reversed on Good Friday. The very people the Son of God came to save crucified him. St. John explains this. "The real light that shines on everyone was coming into the world. He was in the world, and the world was made through him, yet the world did not recognize him. He came to what was his own, yet his own people did not accept him" (John 1:9-11). The creatures God created did not recognize or accept the Creator living among them. So, they pierced the divinely human flesh. The rough wood of the manger foreshadowed the rougher wood of the cross.On the cross, the Word made flesh had his perfect flesh pierced with nails and thorns. The sun was darkened and the earth trembled as Jesus cried out, "It is finished." Then he closed his eyes, breathed his last, and his heart stopped beating. To make sure the Son of God was dead, his heart and lungs were pierced with a spear.For three days, the corpse of the Creator of Life lay cold and dead in a borrowed tomb. Then as the first rays of sunlight began dawning on Easter morning, the darkness and death of Friday afternoon were shattered. Everything had been quiet and still in the darkness of the tomb. One moment the tomb was filled with darkness and death. The next moment the grave was filled with life and light! Darkness cannot extinguish the Light. St. John explains, "In him was life, and the life was the light of mankind. The light is shining in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it" (John 1:4-5).He who was born, wrapped in strips of cloth, and laid in a manger arose from the slab of the tomb clothed in glory, the firstborn from the dead.Jesus took one breath and put death to death. With his first heartbeat, he defeated the Devil who imagined he had killed God's only-begotten Son.The Creator of Life died. He rose. He lives. He will never die again.When you believe in the Son of God as your Savior, you will still die because of your sins. But Jesus has removed your sins. He has endured your death. He has defeated your enemy of the Devil. Though you will die, you will live again. And you will never die again.The Lord of Light will awaken you from the darkness of death. He will open your grave on the Last Day. You will live in the light of heavenly glory. For this Child is the life and light of mankind.Verse 3: So bring him incense, gold, and myrrh; Come, peasant, king, to own him. The King of kings Salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone him. Raise, raise the song on high; The virgin sings her lullaby. Joy, joy, for Christ is born, The babe, the Son of Mary!How do you respond to the question, "What Child is this?" In faith, you respond by bringing him your treasures – incense, gold, and myrrh. You bring him your treasures – money, vocation, prayers, works, and worship. Praise him with hearts filled with love. Praise him with mouths filled with song. Praise him with hands and feet filled with action and motivation. As the Virgin Mary gently sings her lullaby, so we gently sing our praises to the Christ Child on this Christmas Morn.What Child is this? This Child is the One who had his birth announced to Bethlehem shepherds by angels in the sky and announced to Babylonian Magi with a miraculous star in space. This Child comes for the salvation of everyone from shepherds to Wise Men, from peasants to kings. He is the King of kings who comes into our world so we can be made heirs of his heavenly kingdom. He is the Lord of lords who enters our presence to welcome lowly sinners into his presence. He is the Word made flesh so that he can be a baby lying in a manger, then the God-Man shedding his divinely human blood as he lies on a cross, and then the resurrected Christ whose corpse is raised from the dead.Jesus – the Son of God and Mary's Son – is now flesh and divinity for all eternity. Through faith in the divine Son of God and the humble Son of Man, our Savior with flesh, we will be standing before his throne as resurrected flesh and holy soul.One commentator on Merriam-Webster's criticism of the hymn title, posted his own criticism of the online dictionary. He wrote, "I regret to inform you our modern dictionary is illiterate." The online dictionary wanted to "correct" the hymn but ended up being corrected themselves. Whoever wrote that post does not seem to understand Christianity.By the grace of God and through faith in the Child in the manger, you and I are among those who do understand Christianity. We have received Christ and been born again through water and the Word. St. John writes, "But to all who did receive him, to those who believe in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. They were born, not of blood, or of the desire of the flesh, or of a husband's will, but born of God" (John 1:12-13).The 160-year-old hymn is correct. That's why we're singing it on this Christmas Day. "What (not which) Child is this?" Amen.The Lord lays bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations, and all the ends of the earth will see the salvation from our God. (Isaiah 52:10). Amen.View this sermon (with video and/or audio recording) on our website: https://www.casperwels.com/sermons/what-not-which-child-is-this/

DECEMBER 21, 2025 FOURTH SUNDAY OF ADVENT REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS STONE CARILLON CHOIR - HANDBELLS Prelude (Bells) - Good Christian Friends Rejoice/On This Day Earth Shall Ring - McChesney-Roth Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: Just as our theme carol asks, “what child is this?” we, too, have come with our questions this day. We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE:We Ask, We Answer PASTOR:As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one surrounded by sacrificial love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one who would go on to great sacrifice in the name of love. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the one “Enthroned by Love” who invites us into more love than we thought was possible. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the Fourth Advent Candle So bring Him incense, gold, and myrrh, Come, peasant, king to own Him. The King of kings salvation brings; Let loving hearts enthrone Him. Reader 1: When we hear “let loving hearts enthrone him” in our theme carol, we are encountering the “essence of the message.” Love is at the heart of this beloved story of the birth of Christ. It is love that is the true definition of “kingdom,” of “kinship.” No one exemplifies this more than Joseph’s love for Mary and for the child. Reader 2: He is protector of Love; he is hospitality incarnated. Not only the very life of Jesus was in his hands, but his own character and sacrifice were influential in the way that Jesus went on to live his life and center “love for all” as his message. Reader 1: We light this candle of Love for those who need it most. (Light the three Purple Candles and the Pink Candle.) Reader 2: For all who feel they are on the outskirts of love. Reader 1: For all who know the loss of a love. Reader 2: For all who are rejected because of who they are. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How will we make sacrificial love our aim in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is the babe who was swaddled in love and wraps us all in love forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary! Opening Prayer Here, at the nativity of your birth, give us the courage to face this moment with a steadfast love that casts out fear. Open us to new understandings of the unfolding story of your presence among us. Show us how to be with and for one another in ways that add to the flourishing of all creation. We pray in the name of the Child, the Love Enthroned in our hearts and lives. Amen. Children’s Chat Scripture- Matthew 1: 18-25 Pastor: The Word of God for the people of God.

We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE: We Ask, We Answer PASTOR: As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one born into a time when unbridled joy was squelched by those in power. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one whose birth would stir the world from slumber and challenge us to know joy that comes from right relationships. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the “Son of Mary” who shows us the song of life that is ours when we stand up for the least. * Opening Hymn – “Joyful, Joyful, We Adore Thee” #89 Lighting of the Third Advent Candle What Child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? Reader 1: We often hear Jesus referred to as the “Son of God” and the “Son of Man.” But this carol points out his identity over and over as the “Son of Mary.” This equally powerful description points to his being reared by a woman who, upon hearing she would bear a child, said “yes” to one of the most difficult and precarious situations she could face. Reader 2: And then she sings with joy a song of justice for the ages. She goes on to guide and help form this child who would tend to the suffering ones. Reader 1: We light this candle of Joy for those who need it most. (Light the First and Second Purple Candles and the Pink Candle.) Reader 2: For all whose despair feels endless. Reader 1: For all who find little joy in daily living. Reader 2: For all whose disappointment runs deep. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “How can we proclaim a deep joy “in spite of” hardship in our time?” Reader 2: What child IS this?

we must not compromise on the castle's history."Da: Johan, en dygtig håndværker, nikkede.En: Johan, a skilled craftsman, nodded.Da: Han havde arbejdet på mange gamle bygninger før.En: He had worked on many old buildings before.Da: "Det er koldt," svarede han, mens han studerede de gamle stenvægge.En: "It's cold," he replied, while studying the old stone walls.Da: "Vinteren gør det svært med cement og maling."En: "Winter makes it difficult with cement and paint."Da: Kasper, den unge lærling, lyttede opmærksomt.En: Kasper, the young apprentice, listened attentively.Da: Han var fuld af beundring overfor Johan og ønskede at vise sig værdig.En: He was full of admiration for Johan and wanted to prove himself worthy.Da: "Jeg kan hjælpe med at skrabe sneen væk!"En: "I can help scrape away the snow!"Da: sagde han ivrigt.En: he said eagerly.Da: Dagene gik, og vintervejret blev værre.En: The days passed, and the winter weather worsened.Da: Sneen faldt tungt, og vindene blæste hårdt.En: Snow fell heavily, and the winds blew hard.Da: Freja begyndte at føle presset.En: Freja began to feel the pressure.Da: Hun vidste, at de skulle arbejde hurtigt, men Johan mindede hende konstant om, hvor vigtigt det var at gøre tingene ordentligt.En: She knew they had to work quickly, but Johan constantly reminded her how important it was to do things properly.Da: "Vi kan ikke skynde os," sagde han en dag med en alvorlig stemme.En: "We can't rush," he said one day with a serious voice.Da: Juleaften nærmede sig.En: Christmas Eve drew near.Da: En nat ramte en voldsom snestorm.En: One night, a violent snowstorm hit.Da: Freja kiggede ud af vinduet og så sneflagerne hvirvle voldsomt omkring slottets tårne.En: Freja looked out the window and saw the snowflakes swirling violently around the castle towers.Da: Det gik op for hende, hvor farligt det ville være at fortsætte arbejdet under disse forhold.En: She realized how dangerous it would be to continue working under these conditions.Da: "Vi kan ikke fortsætte.En: "We can't continue.Da: Det er for risikabelt," sagde hun til sine kollegaer.En: It's too risky," she told her colleagues.Da: Hun tog en dyb indånding og traf beslutningen.En: She took a deep breath and made the decision.Da: "Vi ændrer tidsplanen," erklærede hun.En: "We are changing the schedule," she declared.Da: "Det vigtigste er at beskytte slottet, ikke færdiggøre det hurtigt."En: "The most important thing is to protect the castle, not to finish it quickly."Da: Johan smilede lettet.En: Johan smiled with relief.Da: "God beslutning, Freja.En: "Good decision, Freja.Da: Det er sådan, vi respekterer historien."En: That's how we respect history."Da: Julen kom, og holdet samlede sig til en lille fest på slottet.En: Christmas came, and the team gathered for a small celebration at the castle.Da: De satte lys i vinduerne og pyntede med gran.En: They put lights in the windows and decorated with fir branches.Da: De fejrede den gode beslutning og alt det arbejde, de allerede havde udført.En: They celebrated the good decision and all the work they had already accomplished.Da: Slotten var måske ikke fuldt renoveret, men det strålede alligevel med en særlig skønhed.En: The castle might not be fully renovated, but it still shone with a special beauty.Da: Freja indså, at fleksibilitet og samarbejde var lige så vigtigt som ambition.En: Freja realized that flexibility and collaboration were just as important as ambition.Da: Hun var taknemmelig for sit teams tålmodighed og støtte.En: She was grateful for her team's patience and support.Da: Mens sneen lagde sig blødt på tårnene udenfor, følte hele holdet sig tilfredse med deres valg.En: As the snow settled softly on the towers outside, the whole team felt satisfied with their choice.Da: Kronborg Slot ville stå stærkt gennem vinteren og ind i den nye sæson.En: Kronborg Slot would stand strong through the winter and into the new season.

NOVEMBER 30, 2025 FIRST SUNDAY OF ADVENT REV. KENDRA BALLIET ORGANIST JIM ROSS Prelude Welcome & Announcements *Call to Worship PASTOR: Just as our theme carol asks, “what child is this?” we, too, have come with our questions this day. We go into the world with answers of Good News, being the Body of Christ through our words and deeds. PEOPLE: We Ask, We Answer. PASTOR: As we prepare to go into the world, let us ask and answer the question we came with. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one born into a time when hope was hard. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This is the one whose lowly status would send a message of hope that alleviation of oppression is a holy endeavor. PEOPLE: What child IS this? PASTOR: This, this is the “King of Kings” who shows us the way of true hope for all people. * Opening Hymn – “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” #154 Lighting of the First Advent Candle What Child is this, who, laid to rest, On Mary’s lap is sleeping? Whom angels greet with anthems sweet, While shepherds watch are keeping? Reader 1: The nature of humanity seems to point to the need for a “savior,” especially when we feel things are out of control. People in the time of Jesus’ birth were no different. They hoped for a new reality of communal wellbeing in the midst of corruption and violence. Reader 2: Peace only existed by definition of the empire. The collaboration of religious and state authorities for the sake of the rich and the demise of the poor was a hard reality for most. Reader 1: We light this candle of Hope for those who need it most. (Light the First Purple Candle.) Reader 2: For all who search for a place to belong. Reader 1: For all who are frightened by imposing forces. Reader 2: For all whose future seems uncertain. Reader 1: Our question for today at the scene of the nativity is this: “For what do we hope in our time that will be ‘good news for ALL people?’” Reader 2: What child IS this? This, this, is Christ the King who reigns with hope forever. This, this is Christ, the King, Whom shepherds guard and angels sing: Haste, haste to bring Him laud, The Babe, the Son of Mary!

Hastiness reveals the spirit that treats even sacred practices as achievements to be completed rather than journeys to be trusted. The labyrinth teaches us that God's path is inefficient by the world's standards, winding away from the center just when we think we're getting close, requiring patient trust rather than strategic speed.

Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1862 

SHOW 11-21-25 CBS EYE ON THE WORLD WITH JOHN BATCHELOR THE SHOW BEGINS IN THE DOUBTS ABOUT UKRAINE FIRST HOUR 9-915 HEADLINE: Las Vegas Shifts Focus with Formula 1 and Lower-End Tourism; California Politics Hit by Indictments GUEST: Jeff Bliss Jeff Bliss reports that the Formula 1 race on the Las Vegas city circuit is attracting major spectacle and high-end tourism, though the city is also attempting recovery by catering to lower-income demographics, evidenced by positive activity at the Excalibur Casino, while facing major competition from a new Indian casino near Bakersfield, California, operated by the Tahone tribe and twice the size of Caesars Palace. In California, Governor Gavin Newsom's former chief of staff, Dana Williamson, and four others were indicted on 23 counts of fraud. Additionally, an investigation into the Palisades fire revealed that state workers ordered the LA Fire Department to back off a previously burned area that rekindled, allegedly to protect endangered plants. 915-930 HEADLINE: Industrial Policy and Tariffs Lack Coherence; Removal of Food Tariffs Implies Inflationary EffectGUEST: Veronique De Rugy Veronique De Rugy discusses US industrial policy, noting the trade deficit has increased despite tariffs, and the administration's decision to remove tariffs on food items—goods not produced domestically—is seen as an implicit admission that tariffs contribute to the "affordability crisis" because tariffs are a tax primarily borne by American consumers. The goals behind tariffs have shifted from fighting China to raising revenue, and the largest tariff exemption is for computer parts, indicating an understanding that tariffs could contradict other goals like energy abundance. De Rugyargues that US economic power stems from innovation and a willingness to invest, making industrial policy involving tariffs and seeking foreign investment largely unnecessary and potentially harmful. 930-945 HEADLINE: Mixed US Economic Signals: Strong GDP Contrasts Low Consumer Sentiment; AI Adoption Increases GUEST: Gene Marks Gene Marks discusses the US economy, noting that third-quarter GDP growth is estimated near 4%, contrasting sharply with record-low consumer sentiment in a "tale of two economies" where salaried workers receiving pay raises of 5–7% are outpacing 3% inflation and continuing to spend, while hourly workers struggle. Despite job growth in construction, leading indicators like the architectural billings index show contraction for 11 months. In technology, 88% of major companies are adopting artificial intelligence, though scaling remains limited, with AI already replacing low-level programmers and enhancing customer service. Agentic AI, capable of performing complex tasks, is predicted to impact fields like accounting and marketing by 2027–2028. However, Marks argues that most current major corporate layoffs stem from typical corporate bloat and mismanagement rather than AI, at least not yet. 945-10 SECOND HOUR 10-1015 HEADLINE: Lancaster County Economy Booms Despite Low Consumer Confidence; Local Entrepreneurs ThriveGUEST: Jim McTague Jim McTague reports that the economy in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, is strong, suggesting it mirrors the greater US economy despite reports of low consumer confidence, observing robust traffic at tourist destinations like Kitchen Kettle Village, a shopping locale established in 1954, with spending largely supported by well-off boomers. Local entrepreneurs are experiencing great success—a dealer selling eclectic electric lamps in Park City Mall is already earning $4,500 per week at the start of the holiday season, and high volume at Costco, where the Amish are major buyers, further indicates available disposable income. McTague concludes that the real economy on Main Street is strong and likely headed for a blockbuster Christmas season. 1015-1030 HEADLINE: Climate Change Threatens Iconic Italian Cheeses; Southern Drought Reduces Milk Production Quality GUEST: Lorenzo Fiori Lorenzo Fiori reports that climate change is threatening Italian food production, particularly cheese, due to drought and heat waves in the south, especially the Puglia region, where stressed cows are reducing milk production and impacting specialty cheeses like mozzarella and burrata. Milk cannot be shipped from the north because local water and hay are essential to the unique flavor of southern cheese. Fiori emphasizes that Italian food is a famous brand precisely because it belongs to its territory, criticizing pre-prepared sauces found in Brussels as inauthentic carbonara, which must be made fresh. In Milan, Christmas preparations are underway, with shop windows decorated festively and street lights scheduled to be switched on December 7th. 1030-1045 HEADLINE: Private Space Advances (Blue Origin, Rocket Lab) Challenge NASA SLS, EU Space Law CriticizedGUEST: Bob Zimmerman Bob Zimmerman reports that Blue Origin's New Glenn orbital rocket successfully completed its second launch, including landing the first stage and demonstrating reuse capability comparable to Falcon 9. New Glenn, larger than Falcon 9, is scheduled for upgrades with more powerful BE4 and BE3U engines, making it nearly comparable to NASA's costly and expendable SLS rocket. Rocket Lab set a new annual launch record with 15 successful orbital launches, surpassing Russia's frequency, and has conducted suborbital HASTE launches for military testing. India is upgrading its largest LVM rocket's upper stage for multiple restarts, essential for its space station and crewed missions. The US State Department opposes a proposed European Union space law seeking to impose EU regulations on companies from other nations, potentially discrediting the EU if passed. Finally, NASA has hired startup Catalyst to attempt a daring robotic rescue of the decaying Swift telescope. 1045-1100 THIRD HOUR 1100-1115 HEADLINE: McFaul: Autocrats Are on the Rise; US Must Unite Allies and Attract Global Talent to CompeteGUEST: Michael McFaul Michael McFaul's book Autocrats Versus Democrats argues that Putinism is driven by anti-Western ideology, making Putin a risk-taker, and McFaul believes the US erred by lacking a robust response and failing to provide arms after the 2014 Crimea invasion, stressing that helping Ukraine win is essential to inspire Russian democrats. He asserts that the appeal of autocracy is growing globally and advises that the US must align democracies against autocrats while advocating for human rights, citing the need to support imprisoned publisher Jimmy Lai. Long-term strategy requires the US and its allies to unite, as they are collectively stronger economically and militarily than autocracies, and McFaulstrongly recommends attracting international talent by reversing restrictive immigration policies, calling it a great strength the US is currently losing. 1115-1130 1130-1145 1145-1200 FOURTH HOUR 12-1215 HEADLINE: US-Saudi Nuclear Deal Raises Proliferation Concerns; Military Micro-Reactors Retreat from Front Lines GUEST: Henry Sokolski Henry Sokolski states that Saudi Crown Prince MBS's goal is to obtain a bomb option, and while the new US-Saudi agreement does not include assistance with nuclear fuel production, a reactor still provides the necessary "cover" used by countries like Iran. MBS has made clear he will acquire a bomb if Iran does, regardless of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Sokolski also discusses the US military's Janus program for small reactors, initially conceived for vulnerable front-line bases but pushed back to remote areas like Alaska and the lower 48 due to concerns about drones and vulnerability. Finally, the US may be moving toward nuclear socialism—government ownership of commercial reactors, potentially funded by Japan—to encourage commercialization even without secured market contracts. 1215-1230 1230-1245 HEADLINE: Scenario: Russia Attacks NATO Member Estonia; Europe's "Kantian Dreams" and Lack of Readiness Prevent Article 5 Response GUEST: Jakub Grygiel Jakub Grygiel analyzes the German book If Russia Wins, which outlines a scenario where Russia attacks NATO member Estonia around 2028 following a stalled conflict in Ukraine, capturing Narva and an island before halting its advance and creating confusion within NATO. Europeans, living in "Kantian dreams of eternal peace," prioritize a quick end to the conflict and fear escalation, and the scenario posits that the US President decides a World War III over a "tiny piece of land" is not worthwhile, leading Estonia to forego invoking NATO's Article 5 out of fear of alliance rejection. Grygielnotes that decades of demilitarization leave Europe unprepared for war, highlighting that US reinforcements could take 45 days to move and societies lack the political will to fund necessary rearmament.

Send us a textA simple branch, a marked door, and a night when death passed by—our conversation begins with the stark beauty of Passover and follows the thread to Christ, “our Passover,” in 1 Corinthians 5. We don't just admire the symbol; we ask what it demands: Why does Scripture emphasize blood applied, not merely blood shed? What happens to our ideas of fairness when mercy is the only hope left standing?We unpack hard questions with care. The panel explores election through the lens of Exodus 12—blood on Israel's doorposts, not Egypt's—and considers how that shapes our reading of John 3:16. Is God's love smaller if it's purposeful and particular, or deeper because it truly saves? Along the way, we draw out the meaning of the lamb roasted whole, the weight of God's wrath restrained, and the difference between “life isn't fair” and “God isn't good.” If strict fairness would end us, then grace is the best news of all.From there, we step into the Feast of Unleavened Bread. Haste and holiness meet in a single image: leave before the dough rises. “A little leaven leavens the whole lump” becomes a call to act now—repent, reconcile, and refuse the small compromises that swell into patterns. We connect “rightly dividing” to the precision of handling sacrifices and, by analogy, the way we handle truth about Christ: add nothing, subtract nothing, stay faithful to the shape of the gospel. By the end, you'll have a clearer view of how Passover, election, wrath, grace, and urgency fit together—and how to live an unleavened life marked by sincerity and truth.If this conversation challenged or encouraged you, follow the show, share it with a friend who loves Bible theology, and leave a review to help others find it. What stood out to you most—the hyssop on the doorposts, or the call to move before the leaven rises?Support the show

Firefly Aerospace Faces Setback: Firefly Aerospace's path to launching its Alpha rocket has hit another obstacle following an anomaly during a recent ground test in Texas. The loss of the first stage booster for Alpha Flight 7 adds to the challenges the company has faced, including a previous in-flight anomaly. Despite the setbacks, Firefly remains committed to investigating the issues and has other boosters in production, including plans for a larger rocket called Eclipse.SpaceX's Busy Launch Schedule: This week is bustling with space launches, highlighted by SpaceX's three scheduled missions. Notably, one launch is for Amazon's Project Cooper, marking a unique collaboration where SpaceX aids a direct competitor to its Starlink service. Meanwhile, China celebrates a milestone with the 100th successful launch of the Long March 2D rocket, and Rocket Lab prepares for its second Haste mission aimed at hypersonic research.Europe's Ambitious Reusable Rocket Plans: The European Space Agency has awarded a €40 million contract to Italian aerospace company Avio to design a reusable upper stage, part of a two-stage rocket concept inspired by SpaceX's Starship. This technically ambitious project aims for full reusability, with a preliminary design review scheduled in a couple of years, potentially leading to a first flight in the early 2030s.Asteroid Belt is Disappearing: A new study reveals that the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter is gradually losing mass over billions of years. About 80% of this mass is transformed into fine dust that contributes to the zodiacal light visible from Earth, while the remaining 20% is ejected as larger chunks, some becoming near-Earth objects due to gravitational nudges from Jupiter. The findings suggest the belt was significantly more massive 3.5 billion years ago, correlating with geological evidence of increased asteroid impacts on Earth and the Moon.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

In coaching—whether you're supporting a teacher, leading a professional learning team, or working with a school leader—listening is foundational. And yet, in the name of productivity, efficiency, or simply staying on schedule, we can too easily slip into haste. Listening with haste can be worse than not listening at all. When you respond to people too quickly, they're likely to feel frustrated, demeaned, or unimportant. Coaches having a strong sense of what a teacher “needs” may rush a conversation—finishing sentences, jumping to solutions, or interpreting questions as pushbacks. Missing crucial signals and undermine trust. Read the Harvard Business Review post, "Are You Really A Good Listener" here.

Welcome to a very special episode of Kitchen Chat: A Taste of Luxury, History & Hospitality. Today, we're traveling to a storybook setting in Scotland. Let's visit Cromlix (https://www.cromlix.com/), the breathtaking Victorian mansion and five-star luxury country house hotel near Dunblane, owned by tennis legend, Sir Andy Murray and his wife, Kim (https://www.cromlix.com/about-us/our-history/) #AndyMurray #ScottishLuxury #LuxuryTravel Cromlix welcomes guests with both timeless Scottish heritage and contemporary luxury with resplendent interiors designed by renowned designer Suzanne Garuda. This is a place where every detail tells a story, from the grandeur of its architecture to the warmth of its welcome. Host Margaret McSweeney sits down with the gracious General Manager, Barry Makin, to discuss the spirit of this magnificent property and the perfected hospitality. "The style of luxury we want to deliver at Cromlix is a relaxed and understated luxury that makes people feel welcome. We want to welcome you into our home and not a hotel," Makin says. From the tranquil beauty of its grounds to the exquisite dishes crafted with local ingredients, this episode is a masterclass in modern Scottish luxury.  A poignant moment for Margaret was serendipitously meeting a Scottish bagpiper who was walking into Cromlix Chapel to practice before a wedding. As many of you know, Margaret launched Kitchen Chat as a way to honor her late father who was a gourmet home chef, world traveler and accomplished musician. Her dad even loved to play the bagpipes, and his favorite song to play was Amazing Grace. This kind bagpiper in Cromlix Chapel played Amazing Grace for Margaret. "Haste ye back," a Scottish phrase meaning "You are always welcome to return" reflects the depth of hospitality at Cromlix. I look forward to one day returning to this cherished place.

SHOW NOTES: •This is an almost subliminal technique to create normative pressure psychologically. •It's pointing out what others are doing, or not doing, or what events, prove your point. •It's the use of profound analogies. •Listen to my examples about Amtrack's infrastructure, or the fallacies around Kodak. •If pictures are worth a thousand words, social proof is worth a thousand pictures. •Learn who was more important, Brady or Belechick. • Understand how breaking the rules can save lives. •Understand why coach does not arrive at the same time that first class does. •Use these techniques for assurances and probabilities. •Use them to accelerate your conversations toward your goals. •But social proof demands that you be well-informed. To learn how to develop and use Social Proof, go to my website or read below: THE PROOF BEHIND SOCIAL PROOF Has anyone ever asked you, "Give me an example of your point?" and you suddenly forgot how to speak? Or have you said, "Let me give you an example...," and then immediately gone into brain freeze without any ice cream? "Social Proof" comprises pragmatic examples that others can readily relate to which reinforce your point instantly. When you "open the hood" on social proof, beneath is actually a psychological dynamic which creates normative pressure assuring that the actions of others are appropriate and should be imitated. A desire to "fit in" is created. While testimonials and endorsements are a type of social proof, they are not as powerful as citing a headline, a major incident, or a famous example. (One problem with quotations, for example, is that for each one there is an opposite, equally true: "Haste makes waste" but "He who hesitates is lost.") Many people use "false social proof." Kodak was not hiring chemists while digital photography was taking over. Their executives simply thought they could wring a couple of more years of already-projected profits and underestimated the speed of the digital takeover. Join me for 90 minutes and fill your conversations, narrative, and collateral with social proof that will build your brand and fill your bank account. People ask what research I invest in for my success. I don't. Then they ask what my investigative habits are. I don't have any. "So what DO you do?" They ask. I look around.

The Song of Songs allegorically expresses the soul's longing for intimacy many times, but the strange thing is that such intimacy doesn't occur, not even at the end. Instead, the bride cries out again, "Make haste my beloved," because she wants to be with him. This finale is crucial for understanding the Church's longing for Christ when she says, "Come, Lord Jesus!" (Rev 22:20). Enjoy this sample from Lesson 3, "Make Haste, My Beloved (Song 5-8)" from Dr. Nick's course, "Song of Songs: A Life of Divine Intimacy." Anyone can join our community of students and stream the entire audio lesson and full course (and other courses too!) whenever they wish.

In 1658, the year started with hopeful clarity. There was a new constitution om a firmer footing, and a new parliament was about to sit. There was little sign any more of royalist rebellion, the Commonwealth name was feared and respected abroad and surely now the Protectorate could build from these foundations. But parliament displayed continuing division, and the Commonwealth was to lose the person around who it had been built Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
