This week, Pastor John Durham kicked off our new sermon series All Sufficient with a message on God's grace. Through Ephesians 2 and Exodus 34, John reminded us that grace is at the very heart of God's character, lavishing His love and mercy on those who could never earn it. He challenged us to respond to this grace with humility, worship, gratitude, and a life transformed by the saving work of Christ.

This week, Jeremy Daniel preached from Jude 1:17-25, encouraging believers to remain faithful by grounding themselves in God's truth, praying with dependence on Him, and resting in His love and mercy. Jeremy reminded us that perseverance is not ultimately sustained by our strength, but by the God who is able to keep His people and present them blameless before Him.

This week, Pastor John Durham continued our Hey Jude sermon series with a message from Jude 5-15. John reminded us that God's truth must continually be remembered and passed on because people are prone to forget. Through examples of rebellion and judgment throughout Scripture, Jude warns of the danger of false teaching and unrepentant sin, while Pastor John reminded us that our only hope is found in the sacrifice of Jesus on the cross.

This week, Pastor John Durham kicked off our new series Hey Jude with a message from Jude 1-4, reminding us of the beauty and security of our salvation. The truth of the gospel is that Christians have been called by God, fully loved, and eternally kept through Christ. John challenged us to stand firmly on this truth, warning us not to live lives marked by cheap grace.

This week, Abe Yeager taught from the book of Philemon on the importance of reconciliation. Through Paul's example, we see the heart of the gospel on display: taking on the cost, extending grace, and restoring relationships.

This week, Kate has some tales about farmyard animal pranks and hijinks in pioneer Haliburton County. Plus, today Paul is building on the westward expansion of Canada in the 1860's. Last episode dealt with the amalgamation of the Hudson's Bay (HBC) and North West fur trading companies. Essentially the HBC, a private company, now governed a huge territory in central Canada. But it didn't take into account a growing presence in the prairies - the Metis people. With Confederation in 1867 the new Canadian government had set it's eyes on expanding to the west. The stage was being set for a clash between cultures and religions. Part 3 will be next week. Kate Butler is the Director of the Haliburton Highlands Museum. Paul Vorvis is the host of the Your Haliburton Morning Show 7 - 9 a.m. Fridays on Canoe FM 100.9 and streaming on your devices.

This week in our Sisters and Brothers sermon series, Pastor John Durham taught from Romans 12:3-8, challenging us to embrace our unique gifts as grace from God, meant to serve others and build up the Church as one body in Christ. He reminded us that this kind of unity and service can only happen when we lay aside our pride.

This week, Pastor John continued our Sisters and Brothers sermon series with a message from Ephesians 2:18-22, challenging us to see the Church as a unified, diverse, and shared community built on Christ.

This week, Drew Humphrey kicked off our new series Sisters and Brothers with a message from Galatians 3. Drew reminded us that our identity as God's children is found through faith in Jesus and is available to all. He challenged us to reject division and instead live as a unified family, reflecting Christ by loving fully, seeing rightly, and embracing our shared identity in Him.

The following episode is scheduled for one fall (one fall). The guys review an SBC weekend where the winners scored over 120 combined offensive points, and see how the HBC shakes out with big wins for the Panthers & Vipers. They also put together their dream AFI-Wrestlemania card. 

This Easter Sunday, Pastor John Durham preached from 1 Peter 3:18, reminding us that Jesus' suffering and once-for-all sacrifice are complete. Nothing further can be added to the finished work of the cross. Through His death in our place and His resurrection to life, we are invited into a restored relationship with God.

This week, Pastor John shared a message out of Matthew 21, reminding us that Jesus is the King we've been longing for. He is the one Who holds all authority and came to save the world. He challenged us to move beyond a lukewarm faith, recognizing that Jesus calls us to respond. We can either fully reject Him or fully surrender, but never settle for simply liking Him.

Episode 164 features Brian “Herbie” Herbertson, head brewer at Lucky Luke Brewing (Santa Clarita, Palmdale, Lancaster). Mike and Herbie dig into his path from homebrewing and touring with bands to commercial brewing, winning awards, and pivoting through COVID to grow Lucky Luke's three locations. The conversation covers brewing philosophy and techniques (yeast management, tank scheduling), favorite hops and styles (Simcoe, Eldorado, HBC 630, Dulcita; lagers, West Coast IPAs, hazies), balancing creativity with consistency, and industry trends like lower‑ABV session lagers. They also discuss community-focused initiatives — local music, food trucks, fundraisers, disc golf collaborations — and brewery identity (tap handle tools, song‑inspired beer names). Highlights include stories from memorable brew days and events, Herbie's favorite beers and guilty pleasures, his Mount Rushmore of influential breweries, and why craft brewers should engage their neighborhoods to build sustainable brands. Expect a friendly, wide‑ranging chat about beer, music, pizza, and life in the brew house.

This week, Pastor John opened up our new sermon series Rescue by walking us through Psalm 107, showing how anyone living apart from God is either lost, bound, dying, or helpless. Over and over again, the psalm reveals that when people cry out in their desperation, God is faithful to respond in grace and deliver them. Ultimately, this points to Jesus as the ultimate Rescuer, who came to save us once and for all.

In our final week in our Established sermon series, we look at the story of David after calamity and his dependence on the Lord. Where can we find God when bad things happen? What is the result?I SAMUEL 27:1-4I SAMUEL 30:1-3I SAMUEL 30:4-6 Faith in God doesn't prevent hardship, it carries us through it.In our worst moments, we need to preach truth to our own souls.“Look around and be perplexed. Look within and be distressed. Look to Jesus, be at rest.” Corrie Ten Boom I Samuel 30:7-10I SAMUEL 30:11-15“God's ways are behind the scenes; but He moves all the scenes which He is behind.” - John Nelson Darby I SAMUEL 30:16-20 God's people never suffer a final defeat! I SAMUEL 30:21-25 Grace gives what effort cannot earn.

Choices. They're a significant part of life. Some are small—what we'll eat for lunch. Some are big—where we live. We face choices every day. But there are also moments when we face life-altering decisions. These pivotal moments impact the rest of our lives. In Deuteronomy 30:15-20, Moses offers a pivotal choice to the people of Israel. Listen as Abe Stratton, HBC pastoral staff member from 2008-2023, leads us to gaze upon the One who calls us to a major decision. Abe is the Senior Pastor at Bethany Baptist Church in Brevard, NC.

In the second of our two-part panel discussion from Morgan Stanley's TMT conference, our analysts break down the complexity of financing AI's infrastructure and the technological disruption happening across industries.Read more insights from Morgan Stanley.----- Transcript -----Michelle Weaver: Welcome back to Thoughts on the Market, and welcome to part two of our conversation live from the Technology, Media and Telecom conference. I'm Michelle Weaver, U.S. Thematic and Equity Strategist at Morgan Stanley. Today we're continuing our conversation with Stephen Byrd, Josh Baer and Lindsay Tyler. This time looking at financing AI and some of the risks to the story. It's Friday, March 6th at 11am in San Francisco. So yesterday we spoke about AI adoption. And while there's a lot of excitement on this theme, there've also been some concerns bubbling up. Lindsay, I want to start with you around financing. That's another critical component of the AI build out. What's your latest on the magnitude of the data center financing gap, and what role [are] credit markets playing here? Lindsay Tyler: Yeah, in partnership with Thematic Research, Stephen and team, and colleagues across fixed income research last summer, we did put out a note, thinking about the data center financing gap, right? So, Stephen and team modeled a $3 trillion global data center CapEx need over a four-year timeframe. So, in partnership with fixed income across asset classes, we thought: okay, how will that really be funded? And we came to the conclusion that the hyperscalers, the high quality hyperscalers, generate a good amount of cash flow, right? So, there's cash from ops that can fund approximately half of that. But then we think that fixed income markets are critical to fund the rest of the funding gap. And really private credit is the leader in that and then aided by corporate credit and also securitized credit. What we've seen since is that yes, private credit has served a role. There is this difference between private credit 1.0, which is more of that middle market direct lending. And then private credit 2.0, which is more ABF – Asset Based Finance or Asset Backed Finance. And what we see there is an interest in leases of hyperscaler tenants, right? We've also seen in the market over the past nine months or so, investment grade bond issuance by hyperscalers. Obviously, a use of cash flow by hyperscalers. We've seen the construction loans with banks and also private credit per reports. We've also seen high yield bond issuance, which is kind of a new trend for construction financing. We've seen ABS and CMBS as well. And then something new that's emerging in focus for investors is more of a chip-backed or compute contract backed financings, like more creative solutions. We're really in early innings of the spend right now. And so, there is this shift. As we start to work through the construction early phases, the next focus is: okay, but what about the chips? And so, I think a big focus is that, you know, chips are more than 50 percent of the spend for if you're looking at a gigawatt site. And it depends what type of chips and kind of what generation. But that's the next leg of this too. So, it's kind of a focus, you know, for 2026. Michelle Weaver: And how do you view balance sheet leverage and financing when you think about hyperscaler debt raising magnitude and timelines? Lindsay Tyler: So just to bring it down to more of a basic level, if you need compute, you really might need two things, right? A powered shell and then the chips. And so, if you're looking for that compute, you could kind of go in three basic ways. You could look to build the shell and kind of build and buy the whole thing. You could lease the shell, from, you know, a developer, maybe a Bitcoin miner too – that is converted to HBC. And then you kind of buy the chips and you put them in yourselves. Or you could lease all the compute; quote unquote lease, it's more of a contract. In terms of the funding, if you're thinking about the cash flows of some of the big companies – think of that as primarily being put towards chip spend. If you're thinking about the construction that's kind of split between cash CapEx but also leases. And so, what we've seen is that there is more than [$]600 billion of un-commenced lease obligations that will commence over the next two to five years, across the big four or five players. And then my equity counterparts estimate around [$]700 billion of cash CapEx that needs this year for some of those players as well. So, these are big numbers. But that's kind of how, at a basic level, they're approaching some of the financing. It's a split approach. Michelle Weaver: And what have you learned around financing the past few days at the conference? Anything incremental to share there? Lindsay Tyler: Sure. Yeah. I think I found confirmation of some key themes here at the conference. The first being that numerous funding buckets are available. That was a big focus of our note last year is that you can kind of look at asset level financing. You can look at public bonds, you can look at some equity. There are these different funding buckets available.The second is that tenant quality matters for construction financing. I think I've seen this more in the markets than maybe at this conference over the past two to three weeks. But that has been a focus of pricing for the deals, but also market depth for the deals. A third confirmation of a key theme was around the neo clouds and also the GPU as a service business models. Thinking about those creative financings, right. Are they thinking about from their compute counterparties? Would they like upfront payments? Might they look to move financing off [the] balance sheet, if they have a very high-quality investment grade rated counterparty? So, there is some of this evolution around those solutions. And then a fourth key theme is just around the credit support. And Stephen has and I have talked about this around some of the Bitcoin miners – is that, you know, there can be these higher quality investment grade players that might look to lend their credit support. Maybe a lease backstop to other players in the ecosystem in order to get a better pricing on construction financing. And we are seeing some press pickup around how that might play out in chip financing down the road too. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. AI driven risk and potential disruption has been a big feature of the price action we've seen year-to-date in this theme. Stephen, what are some asset classes or businesses you see as resistant to some of this disruption? Stephen Byrd: We spend a lot of time thinking about, sort of, asset classes that are resistant to deflation and disruption. And what's interesting is there's actually a handful of economists in the world that are doing remarkable work on this concept. That they would call it the economics of transformative AI. There are three Americans, two Canadians, two Brits, a number of others who are doing really, really interesting work. And essentially what they're looking at is what do economies look like? As we see very powerful AI enter many industries – cause price reductions, deflation… What does that do? They have a lot of interesting takeaways, but one is this idea that the relative value of assets that cannot be deflated by AI goes up. Very simple idea. But think of it this way, I mean, there's only, you know, one principle resort on Kauai. You know, there's a limited amount of metals. And so, what we go through is this list that's gotten a lot of investor attention of resistant asset classes or more of the resistant asset classes that can go up in value. So, there are obvious ones like land, though you have to be a little careful with real estate in the sense that like, office real estate probably wouldn't be where you would go. Nor would you potentially go sort of towards middle income, lower income housing. But more, you know, think of industrial REITs, higher-end real estate. But there are a lot of other categories that are interesting to me. All kinds of infrastructure should be quite resistant, all kinds of critical materials. Metals should do extremely well in this. But then when you go beyond that, it's actually kind of interesting that there; arguably there's a longer list than those classic sort of land and metals examples.Examples here would be compute… Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Stephen Byrd: I thought Jensen put it, well, you know, if there's a limited amount of infrastructure available, you want to put the best compute. And ultimately, in some ways, intelligence becomes the new coin of the realm in the world, right? So, I would want to own the purveyors of intelligence. It could include high-end luxury. It could include unique human experiences. So, I don't know how many of y'all have children who are sort of college age. But my children are college age, and they absolutely hate what they would call AI slop.They want legit human content, and they seek it out. And they absolutely hate it when they see bad copies of human content. And so, I think there is a place in many parts of the economy for unique human experiences, unique human content, and it's interesting to kind of seek out where that might be in the economy. So those would be some examples of resistant assets. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Josh, software's been at really the center of this AI disruption debate. How would you compare the current pullback in software multiples to prior periods of peak uncertainty? And do you think any of these concerns are valid? Or how are you thinking about that? Josh Baer: Great question. I mean, software multiples on an EV to sales basis are down 30 – 35 percent just from the fall, I will say. And that's overall in the group. A lot of stocks, multiple handfuls, are down 60-70 percent over the last year. And what's being priced in is really peak uncertainty, a lot of fear. And these multiples, now four times sales – takes us all the way back about 10 years to the shift to cloud. And this time in many ways reminds us of that period of peak fear. In this case, what's being priced in is terminal value risk. We talked about this TAM yesterday. But you know, who is going to win that share? How is it divided from a competitive perspective across these model providers? The LLMs with new entrants. Of course, the incumbents. And this other idea of in-housing. Michelle Weaver: Mm-hmm. Josh Baer: So, there's competitive risk, there's business model risk. Are companies going to need to change their pricing models from seat-based to consumption or hybrid. And then last margin risk. Just thinking about the higher input costs and higher capital intensity. And so, you know, all of those fears are being priced in right now. Michelle Weaver: And we, of course though, had a bunch of these companies live with us at the conference. How are they responding to some of these risks? How are they addressing these investor concerns? Josh Baer: Most of the companies here from our coverage are the incumbent software vendors. And I think that the leadership teams did a really nice job coming out and defending their competitive moats and really articulating the story of why they are in a great position to capitalize on the opportunity. And the reasons can vary across different companies. But some of the commonalities are around enterprise grade, trust, security, governance, acceptance from IT organizations.The idea of vibe coding all apps in an organization get squashed when you actually talk to companies and chief information officers. For some companies there's proprietary data moats, network effects. All of that's on top of existing customer relationships. And so, you know, that was the message from the companies that we had. That we're the incumbents. We get to use all of the same innovative AI technology in the same way that all these different competitive buckets do. But we have, you know, that differentiation in that moat. And so, we're in a good place. Michelle Weaver: I want to wrap on a positive note. Stephen, what did you hear at the conference that you're most excited about? Stephen Byrd: I'd say the life sciences. A few investors pointed out that perhaps AI has a PR problem these days. And I do think showing a significant benefit to humanity in terms of improved health outcomes, whether that's just better diagnosis, you know. Away from this event, but I was in India the week before and, you know, AI can have a powerful benefit to the people who suffer the most in terms of providing very powerful medical tools in a distributed manner. So, I'm a big fan there.But you know, in many ways, curing the most challenging diseases plaguing humanity. The kind of problems involved in providing those and developing those cures are perfect for AI. So that, for me – stepping way back – that is by far the most exciting thing. Michelle Weaver: Josh, same to you. What are you most excited about? Josh Baer: From my perspective, it's potentially the turning point for software. The ability to showcase that we are at this inflection point and acceleration. To actually see that it takes time for our software companies to develop new AI technologies. Put that into products that have been tested and proven and go through the enterprise adoption cycle. And that we're at the cusp of more adoption – that's what our survey work says. And to see that inflection, I think can help to rerate this sector. Michelle Weaver: Lindsay, same question for you… Lindsay Tyler: Maybe I'll tie it to markets. I've already had a lot of more conversations with equity investors over the past, how many months? There's a big fixed income focus right now, which is a great, you know, spot and really interesting opportunity in my seat. And there's a lot of interesting structures coming to be right now in the credit space. So, I think it's an exciting time. Michelle Weaver: Lindsay, Stephen, Josh, thank you very much for joining to recap the event and let us know what you learned at the conference. To our audience, thank you for listening here live. And to our audience tuning in, thanks for listening. If you enjoy Thoughts on the Market, please leave us a review wherever you listen. And share the podcast with a friend or colleague today.

While we talk about hops on essentially every episode, we rarely get to do a deep dive into the topic with someone who actually works in the field (get it? field? hop field? ha). Alex Diamandas of Yakima Chief Hops joined Cee and Nate to chat about his transition from home brewing to professional brewer to hop slanger, the big hack of Idaho 7 in the whirlpool, how hop extracts are actually made and the fundamental differences between Dynaboost and Hyperboost, how the HBC program works to transition new hops from the farm to the market, how you can add hops to the mash for a unique flavour, the marketing value of putting the hops on the label, how they're the only hop vendors globally that are grower-owned, how hop selection works, why harvest is the funnest and busiest time of the year, the new Cryo Fresh product for fresh hops, and the tariff situation along with the Canadian warehouse. The beers for this episode all featured Yakima Chief Hops, and all of the Town beers were supplied by Jeff Talmey of Town: Town Square Wheels Hazy IPA, Fairweather High Grade NEIPA, Town Better Days West Coast IPA, Slake Slow Slow NEIPA, Sawdust City Lone Pine West Coast IPA, Town Neon Trees Hazy IPA, Town Motel Royalty Hazy IPA, and Town Double Wheels Double NEIPA.

This week, Pastor John continued our Established sermon series with a message from 1 Samuel 8–13, emphasizing how impatience can lead us to compromise. He challenged us to resist fear and pride, choosing instead to trust God's timing by walking in faith, because the decisions we make in moments can shape the course of our lives.

This week, Pastor John continued our sermon series Established with a message from 1 Samuel 6-8. Through the text, he challenged us to move from casual faith to wholehearted surrender, reminding us that true establishment begins with repentant hearts before God. No one can stand against the Lord, our one and true King.

Pastor John continued our Established series by showing how easily we place God in second rather than surrendering fully to Him. In 1 Samuel 4–6, we're reminded that anything we rely on for control, approval, power, or comfort will ultimately fail us. The invitation this week is clear: lay down every rival and let God truly be first.

This week was special.We gathered with our church family from Hilton Baptist Church for one powerful, united service. Journey Church had the honor of leading worship, and Pastor Lynwood from HBC brought a timely and challenging message.What does a church that truly pleases God look like?Pastor Lynwood walked us through Scripture and helped us see that it is not about preference or performance, but about hearts aligned with Him and lives that reflect Him.www.thejourneychurch.cc

This week, Pastor John continued our Established sermon series with a message from 1 Samuel 3. He reminded us that God is always speaking to His people through His Word, His Spirit, and His work, often most clearly in moments of darkness. As we position ourselves with surrendered and attentive hearts, God establishes those who are willing to listen and respond.

This week, we kicked off our sermon series Established as we take a look at the different stories throughout 1 Samuel. This week, we looked at the story of Hannah and how she was barren but rooted in God and found His faithfulness amidst disappointment.1 Samuel 1:1-2 Genesis 2:24 Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh.Matthew 19:4-6  He (Jesus) answered, “Have you not read that He who created them from the beginning made them male and female, 5  and said, ‘Therefore a man shall leave his father and his mother and hold fast to his wife, and the two shall become one flesh'?  6  So they are no longer two but one flesh. What therefore God has joined together, let not man separate.”  I SAMUEL 1:3-18 Being Established DURING Great Disappointment1. Continue in Prayer 10, 12, 13, 16, 26, 27.2. Endure in all Things 183.

In this week's sermon, we discuss our best guess as to what the Lord is doing in and through Highland in 2026.

This week, Pastor John continued our Practicing sermon series with a message from 2 Corinthians 9 on the spiritual practice of generosity. We were reminded that generosity is the joyful use of all God has entrusted to us for His glory and the good of others. As God gives abundantly and shapes our hearts, He invites us to grow from reluctant giving into cheerful generosity.

This week, Pastor John launched our new sermon series Practicing with a message from Psalm 34 on the practice of praise. We learned that praise is often a choice before it becomes a feeling, as it redirects glory from ourselves back to God. As we recount God's faithfulness, praise invites us to step fully into who God is and all He has done.

This week, the Church gathered as one body at one gathering to worship and pray together. Pastor John spent some time highlighting the power of prayer and emphasizing God as the sole recipient of our prayers.Ephesians 4:1–61. Unity Begins With Us Living Godly Lives 1, 2 2.

This week, Pastor John continued our Christmas Grace series with a teaching from Titus 2, reminding us that Christmas is the story of grace appearing in the person of Jesus. In Christ, God's grace came near to redeem us, reshape us, and give us lasting hope. This appearing grace not only saves us but makes us God's own people, stirring our hearts toward lives marked by gratitude and good works.

This week, Pastor John launched our Christmas Grace series by showing that when grace is missing, everything in life becomes distorted. From John 1, we're reminded that Christ is God's answer to our deepest need. In Him, truth and grace come together so we can see the gospel with stunning clarity.

This week, Pastor John led us in our annual Cross of Christ service with a message from 1 Corinthians 11:23–26. As we take the bread and the cup, we boldly declare that we are not ruled by sin, not hopeless in life, and not finished in death. In Christ, our sins are forgiven, our lives belong to Him, our hope is secure, and our King is returning.

This week, Pastor John Durham concluded our Desert Rose series with a message from Mark 15, reminding us that Jesus entered the deepest form of loneliness so that we would never be alone. On the cross, He was forsaken so we could be accepted, and His separation allowed for our connection with God. Because Christ fills our loneliness with Himself, we can live with confidence that we are seen, we are not abandoned, and we are called to represent His love to others.

In the first 37 minutes of this episode, the pastoral residents reflect on what they've learned this fall and encourage HBC in its ministry. In the last 13 minutes, Peter, Simon and Kay share all of the hijinks that have set this class apart from all the rest. We trust you will be both edified and entertained.

This week, Pastor Jeremy Daniel continued our Desert Rose series with a message from Jeremiah 15 on the cost of faithfulness. Jeremiah's story reminds us that obedience can be lonely and truth can invite opposition, yet God invites us to bring our pain honestly to Him. In those moments, His faithful presence turns weakness into endurance and suffering into deeper trust.

This week, Pastor John continued our Desert Rose sermon series with a message from Ecclesiastes 4 on the purpose of community. God designed us to form relationships that bring encouragement, provision, and protection. In a world filled with opportunity for isolation, we find our deepest belonging in Christ and in the community of His people.

This week, our Groups Minister Josh Duinker continued our Desert Rose sermon series with a message from Psalm 25. Through this passage, we're reminded that loneliness is real, but Jesus has the final word. Even in the desert places, God calls us to depend on Him, to wait on Him, and to trust that He can bring life and light where there once was darkness.
