The High Cost Of Running From The Call Of God - Jonah 1 - Pastor James Eakins

In part two of Red Eye Radio with Gary McNamara and Eric Harley, according to an article in the New York Review, the New York City Department of Education says it spent this year at P.S. 307 in Brooklyn, around $44,000 per student — and, when including other wraparound services, a whopping $58,000 per student. This story represents the expense of an American education especially in colleges around the nation. Also according to the latest NBC poll, Republicans maintain favorability over Democrats as the midterms approach / and a number of Senators in the GOP are waiting until the midterms are over before deciding to run for President in 2028.

When the world feels chaotic and peace seems impossible to find, where can you turn for relief from fear, anxiety, and uncertainty? News headlines, personal struggles, and troubling circumstances can leave our hearts unsettled. But the Bible reminds us that lasting peace does not come from our surroundings or from trying to control every situation. True peace comes through Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace, and through trusting God even when life feels overwhelming. Isaiah 26:3 teaches that God keeps in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast because they trust in Him. While the world cannot guarantee safety or calm, God offers peace that guards our hearts and minds through Christ. By asking God for His peace, focusing on Scripture, rejecting false sources of security, and practicing peace in our daily relationships, we can learn to rely on Him in troubling times. Even when peace cannot be found around us, we can seek the steady peace God provides. Highlights Why the world cannot provide the lasting peace our hearts desperately need How trusting God helps us find peace amid fear, chaos, and uncertainty What Isaiah 26:3 teaches about keeping our minds steadfast in God Why Jesus is the true source of peace and how His peace differs from what the world offers Four practical ways to trust God for peace when life feels overwhelming How prayer and studying God’s Word can calm our fears and remind us of His faithfulness Why Christians are called to practice peace and become peacemakers in their daily lives Want more encouragement throughout your week?

Full Transcript Below: Trusting God When Peace Cannot Be Found By Lynette Kittle Bible Reading: “You will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are steadfast, because they trust in You.” - Isaiah 26:3 Listening to the news and reading social media reminds us what a troubling world we live in, filled with wars, natural disasters, civil unrest, mass shootings, assassinations, sickness, disease, accidents, and much more. If we’re looking for peace in a world of chaos, we won’t find it there because the world can’t offer us something it doesn’t have to give. Peace isn’t something people can conjure up or find in things, situations, or even another person or group. It comes through only one source: Jesus, the Prince of Peace and Savior of the world. As Isaiah 9:6 describes, “For to us a child is born, to us a son is given, and the government will be on His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.” Jesus Himself also assures us that He is our source of peace, saying in John 14:27, “Peace I leave with you; My peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Trusting God is where our hearts and minds find relief from the troubles, worries, and fears of the world we live in. The High Cost of Peace Jesus is the world’s source of peace, yet every day it seems millions are rejecting Him and His offer to give them peace. Rather than receiving His gift of peace, they put up a barrier of unbelief between themselves and God, isolating themselves from the peace they so desperately seek in the world. Jesus’ peace came at a high price, too, as Isaiah 53:5 explains, “But He was pierced for our transgressions, He was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on Him, and by His wounds we are healed.” Still, His peace is what guards our hearts and minds while we live in a harsh and cruel world, as Philippians 4:7 explains: “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” 4 Ways to Help Us Trust God for Peace Some of us aren’t sure how to trust God in a peaceless world. The following are four ways to help us begin trusting God for peace when we cannot find it in the world. Ask God for His peace. Sometimes we believe God doesn’t want us asking for His help, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. James 4:2 describes why some lack peace: “You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet, but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God.” Focus on God’s Word and His promises. Reading and studying God’s Word fills our hearts and minds with His truth and unfailing promises, reminding us of His faithfulness and calming our fears. Proverbs 4:22 reminds us of the importance of feeding on them: “For they are life to those who find them and health to one’s whole body.” Resist following and practicing false offers of peace. Religions other than Christianity offer peace, saying it comes through various practices, including exercises, chants, and offerings. Although we may think some of these things are harmless, they can confuse our hearts and minds and lead us away from where true peace is found because there is only one way to find it. As Isaiah 59:8 describes, “The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks along them will know peace.” Practice peace in our daily lives. Jesus walked in peace while on earth, and we can choose daily to walk in and practice peace, too, by choosing it over conflict, anger, and offense. When confronted with situations that cause us to feel anxious and unsettled, we can choose to practice peace instead. As Jesus taught in Matthew 5:9, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Intersecting Faith & Life: Are you experiencing God’s peace today, the peace that comes through knowing Jesus Christ? If not, receive it today by asking Him to come into your life.

Host Ankit Nanda, FSA, MAAA, FCA, speaks with Paul Skrtich, ASA, MAAA, ACIA, Senior Vice President, Accident and Health at OdysseyRe, about how health insurance looks from the reinsurer's seat, where the tail of the claims distribution drives the economics. The conversation covers lasers on known high-cost claimants, emerging cost drivers from skin substitutes to GLP-1s and cell and gene therapies, and how ACOs and provider-payer alignment of interests reshape the risk reaching the excess layers.

Asphalt and concrete. Not exactly the sexiest topics in the world, but think about it: pavement is everywhere we look. From roads and highways to schoolyards and massive parking lots, it's such a ubiquitous part of our environment that we hardly even notice it anymore.And there's a reason for that. Pavement makes roads safer and provides ADA accessible sidewalks. But it also comes with a significant environmental cost. Dark asphalt can absorb as much as 80 to 95 percent of sunlight, contributing to the urban heat island effect and making our cities (and the people who live in them) hotter and more vulnerable as the climate warms.That's why we're excited to speak with Malena Marvin, Executive Director of Depave, a Portland, Oregon-based grassroots organization that works with communities to remove underutilized pavement and replace it with permeable, living green spaces. For example, an empty parking lot can become a public gathering space filled with trees and native plants, or a place where rain can return to the soil instead of rushing into storm drains. Depave's work is especially powerful because it connects environmental restoration with community health and agency, climate resilience, and environmental justice. Show NotesDepaveThe Depave CrewDepave ResourcesUrban Heat IslandsBiophilic Solutions is available wherever you get podcasts.

These sources collectively examine the ethical, social, and educational challenges emerging from the rapid integration of artificial intelligence into daily life. They advocate for responsible development guided by international frameworks, such as the OECD AI Principles, which emphasize transparency, accountability, and human well-being. Several authors scrutinize the power dynamics of tech elites and the limitations of Universal Basic Income, suggesting these may mask deeper structural inequalities. To mitigate risks like algorithmic bias and job displacement, the texts highlight the necessity of maintaining human-in-the-loop supervision in automated processes. Furthermore, there is an urgent call for interdisciplinary collaboration and comprehensive AI literacy programs in global education systems. Ultimately, the collection seeks a human-centric future where technology serves the public interest while protecting fundamental rights and dignity.

In this episode, Emily interviews Quinn Nguyen, a 4th-year PhD student in chemistry at UC Irvine. Quinn has been highly intentional with her finances during graduate school. She maintains a zero-based budget, uses targeted savings accounts for her cat and annual trips to Vietnam, keeps emergency savings, and pays herself first into a Roth IRA. She also lives in subsidized graduate student housing and drives an electric bike in addition to a car. Quinn and Emily discuss the advantages of these practices, specifically the Roth IRA, and how Quinn has developed confidence that she can make her finances work no matter what life throws at her post-graduate school.

This week, I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with the incredible Alex Partridge—founder of UNILAD and Lad Bible, host of the ADHD Chatter podcast, and author of Why Does Everybody Hate Me?. We dove deep into a topic that so many managers want to get right, but often feel totally lost navigating: supporting neurodiversity in the workplace, specifically when it comes to ADHD. The first time I managed someone with ADHD, I felt lost. I wanted to be an ally and build an inclusive space, but I didn't know what real, everyday support looked like. As Alex and I chatted, it hit me again how much untapped creativity, innovation, and resilience lies within our neurodivergent team members—if we actually build environments where they can thrive. When we take a step back, set aside our assumptions, and approach people with genuine curiosity, we don't just become better leaders, we create workplaces where everyone feels safe enough to drop the mask and bring their whole self to work. Key Takeaways & Themes Understanding Rejection Sensitivity Dysphoria (RSD). "Children with ADHD are exposed to 20,000 extra micro-rejections in their formative years. Over a child's life, they add up, they compound, and they create an adult who suffers from extreme emotional pain when someone criticizes you or rejects you as an adult." Recognizing the Worksite Manifestations of RSD. "If you are living your life constantly expecting criticism or rejection around every single corner, you put up a guard to protect yourself. It means you can't do anything unless it's perfect. You'll stay in the office four hours later than everyone else, or you'll stay up all night simply to complete that work to such a high standard because the thought of your boss even making a tiny correction to it is so painful." Building Psychological Safety from the Top Down."When people in the office observe vulnerability coming from the top, that trickles down to them, and it creates the impression that if they ask for help. It sends the message that they can make that ask without fear of it being met with any kind of eye roll." The High Cost of Failing to Accommodate Neurodiversity."80% of neurodivergent employees actually leave a company within three months post-the hiring stage because they are too anxious in that environment to do the job that they're able to do." Fostering Allyship Through Curiosity Rather Than Judgment. "Approach the whole conversation with curiosity rather than judgment. Always have an open mind and have that curiosity to ask yourself, 'Maybe that is the better way to do it?' When that mindset shifts, then suddenly there's a whole door of possibilities that open up to you." Concluding Actionable Takeaway Leading with Open-Ended Support: Instead of singling employees out by pointing to specific neurodivergent traits or diagnosing behaviors, leaders should proactively offer broad, company-wide avenues for help—and regularly ask a simple, open-ended question like, "Is there anything I can help you with?" or "Do you want five minutes to think about that assignment before taking it on?"

As geopolitical shifts and supply chain crises redefine the global economy, bespoke rug makers and interior designers are finding new ways to maintain craftsmanship and client trust. This conversation with Ayub Ansari explores how California Design Living, a four-generation family business, is adapting to unprecedented challenges. From the sudden impact of 50% import tariffs to soaring air freight costs and labor shifts in India, the episode delves into the delicate balance between maintaining centuries-old artisanal traditions and surviving a volatile modern market. Economic Volatility & Tariffs: Recent years have seen dramatic shifts in import policies, including sudden 50% tariffs that have forced companies to move from fixed pricing to more transparent, range-based quotes for clients. The High Cost of Logistics: Supply chain disruptions and fuel surcharges have ballooned shipping costs, with some air freight quotes nearly doubling overnight. Preserving Artisanal Heritage: The industry faces a long-term challenge in attracting younger generations to master intricate techniques like Persian knotting, which can take over a year to learn. Evolution of the Showroom: High-end brands are moving toward “experience centers,” much like luxury car galleries, to focus on the touch-and-feel aspect of bespoke products in an increasingly digital world. Strategic Collaboration: Designers are encouraged to utilize trade programs and consolidated shipping to mitigate rising costs through volume and long-term vendor relationships. Applicable Elements: California Design Living: Explore the bespoke, made-to-order collections discussed in the episode.

Fertility treatment is becoming increasingly common in Canada. But why?On this episode of DemograFix, Cara Stern and Mike Moffatt dig into the dramatic rise of IVF and fertility treatment in Canada, and what it tells us about how Canadians are building families.IVF births in Ontario have nearly doubled as a share of all live births since 2014, while the average age of patients starting IVF has climbed past 35. As Canadians spend longer in school, establish careers later, face higher housing and living costs, and delay parenthood, more people are turning to fertility treatment to help build the families they want.But access to fertility care can depend heavily on where you live. Cara and Mike look at the geographic lottery of fertility treatment, differences in provincial funding, long waitlists, workplace benefits, and the often-overlooked costs of IVF, including time away from work and travel for treatment.The bigger question is what happens when more Canadians are trying to have children later in life.Is Canada's fertility system prepared for growing demand? And should policymakers be looking beyond IVF to the housing, career and economic pressures that are pushing parenthood later?#IVF #Fertility #Canada #Demographics #FertilityTreatment #OntarioChapters:00:00 Introduction00:42 The Economic Reality of Delayed Parenthood01:28 Why is Fertility Treatment Usage Up?02:44 Biology and Success Rates03:08 Analyzing the Data Surge04:16 The Geographic Lottery of Fertility Access05:22 The Biological Realities06:41 The Myth of Fertility Control07:44 Rising Complications in Younger Patients08:27 Male Factor Infertility08:42 The High Cost of Treatment and Waitlists10:03 The Hidden Costs (Time & Travel)11:34 Workplace Benefits and Trends12:01 Recap and Future Outlook13:01 Policy Responses and Root CausesResearch/links:Publicly funded in-vitro fertilization (IVF) program - Province of British Columbia Canadian assisted reproductive technologies registry CARTR PLUs annual report CARTR Reports - Canadian Fertility & Andrology Society Provincial coverage | Fertility Matters Canada https://news.ontario.ca/en/release/1007375/ontario-connecting-more-families-to-fertility-supportshttps://www.zionmarketresearch.com/report/in-vitro-fertilization-marketHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina MaddeauxProduced by Meredith MartinEdited by Sean Foreman and Canadian Civil

The $8,000/Month Profit Leak Hiding in Plain Sight Every product-based business has a money mystery, and in this episode, I'm solving a big one. I recently sat down with a client whose business was generating over $2 million in annual revenue, yet she had almost nothing left in profit at the end of the year. When we dug into her numbers, we found a massive cash leak that was quietly draining $8,627.50 out of her business every single month. The culprit? Free shipping disguised as a customer perk. In this episode, I walk you through how we uncovered this hidden expense, how we used real data—not emotion—to make a tough call, and how fixing this single line item instantly transformed her bottom line. What We Cover in This Episode: The $8,000 Mystery: How a $2M+ business was bleeding cash despite strong sales. The High Cost of "Free": Why free shipping is often a hidden profit killer rather than a strategic perk. Overcoming the Fear of Losing Customers: Why the fear of changing a policy is often worse than the reality. Data Over Emotion: How side-by-side math made the decision to end free shipping completely obvious. Why You Don't Need More Advice: The difference between guessing your way to profit and using an operating system to build it on purpose. Key Takeaways: "Profit leaks rarely look dramatic. They look like a nice little thing you're doing for your customers, or a policy set up years ago that nobody has revisited. Cutting a cost isn't a gut decision—it's a data decision." — Ciara Stockeland Data removes the panic: When you analyze real numbers side-by-side (revenue gained vs. potential customer drop-off), the strategic choice makes itself. Revenue does not equal Health: Growing top-line sales without protecting your margin just creates the illusion of success. Focus on systems: Knowing your numbers is only step one; you need a financial operating system to consistently surface leaks and protect your cash flow.

Americans are grappling with a rising cost in healthcare. For the first time in five years, fewer than half of Americans can consistently afford healthcare. That's according to the latest data from Gallup. The cost of healthcare in the US remains higher than any other large, wealthy country. According to a report from the Department of Health and Human Services, five million fewer people are enrolled in marketplace plans for 2026, compared to last year. That's as average premium costs rose about 58%.With health care costs increasingly becoming a stress for Americans, voters are now making the issue a top priority at the ballot box. And it's an issue that crosses party and geographic lines. According to new polling from The Century Foundation, 71% of Democrats, 66% of Republicans and 75% of rural voters agree that reigning in hospital costs should be a top priority for lawmakers. While new polling from Ipsos and Axios suggests that a majority of Americans say they're more likely to vote for candidates in November who will lower their health costs.How will the issue of healthcare shape the midterms?
