Secretary Juan Pablo Segura joins BioTalk for a conversation about Virginia's growing position in the biohealth economy and the statewide strategy behind it. He outlines the significance of the new partnership with AstraZeneca, Lilly, and Merck, including up to $120 million in private investment to create a workforce development center and expand the Commonwealth's life sciences capacity. Segura talks through how Virginia approaches company recruitment, what investors are responding to, and why the state is seeing increased interest from biomanufacturing and advanced R&D companies. He also discusses Virginia's use of public-private partnerships to accelerate industry growth, strengthen the talent pipeline, and support emerging hubs across the Commonwealth. The conversation closes with a look at Virginia's role in the BioHealth Capital Region and how the regional identity helps amplify the state's message as it continues building a competitive biohealth ecosystem. Editing and post-production work for this episode was provided by The Podcast Consultant (https://thepodcastconsultant.com). Juan Pablo Segura is the Secretary of Commerce and Trade for the Commonwealth of Virginia. He leads 13 agencies focused on economic growth, business development, and industry expansion across the state.

Hendrico Ockhuys is deesdae ietwat van 'n legende in die Kaapse kerkomgewing, 'n mens loop hom orals raak. “Ek woon in Ystrplaat by Isibindi. Ons “huis” is uniek want dit is gebou op die verhoog van die kerksaal, my kamer is agter die verhoog in die aantrek kamers — omdat ek te dramaties is om op die stage te bly,” lag hy. Hy is 'n leier by die koshuis op die terrein vir jongmense in nood, help by die nasorg-projek en is verantwoordelik vir die hawelosebediening. Onder andere. Henrico is 'n besige man . . .

Why is thanksgiving such an important Christian virtue? Far more than a seasonal theme, gratitude is the basic posture of the soul that trusts God. Scripture shows that giving thanks is “faith in action,” shaping us into people marked by humility, dependence, and hope. This edition of Ask the Church explores why thanksgiving lies at the heart of the Christian life and how practicing it helps form the heart even when gratitude feels difficult.

This Sunday School lesson takes a thoughtful look at how Christians understand death and dying, drawing on Scripture, the historic witness of the Church, and experiences from pastoral care and hospital chaplaincy. We explore why modern culture tends to avoid this topic and how movements such as the Enlightenment and Romanticism have shaped contemporary attitudes toward mortality. The lesson introduces the historic Christian idea of Ars moriendi, reflecting on how believers through the centuries have prepared for death with courage, faith, and trust in the Resurrection. This is an invitation to consider what it means to approach death as disciples of Jesus — grounded in our identity in Him and sustained by the hope of new life.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

Money is one of the most frequently discussed topics in the Bible—and for good reason. It is powerful, deeply symbolic, and one of the easiest things to trust in instead of God. In this Sunday School lesson, we look at the Old Testament's tithes, charity laws, and debt practices before seeing how Jesus fulfills the law and invites us into a deeper, freer, and more generous way of life.⛪ Church of the Incarnation is an Anglican (ACNA) parish in western Henrico, Virginia, committed to:

Should Christians pray for the dead? In this edition of Ask the Church, we explore what the Bible and church history say about the practice and why the Anglican church rejects the medieval idea of purgatory. We discuss the difference between prayers for the dead (seeking to shorten suffering) and prayers about the dead (thanking God for their lives and commending them to His mercy).

Companies do not have enough workers to fulfill the work needed to be completed, now means salaries are high and still rising. Have a listen.
