In today's homily, Fr. David reminds us that the pro-life mission begins not only with defending the unborn, but with defending the truth about the human person. As the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith taught in Donum Vitae (1987), “Human life must be absolutely respected and protected from the moment of conception.” This foundational truth reveals why the Church insists that no one may claim the right to directly destroy an innocent human being—for life begins with the creative action of God and belongs entirely to Him.Yet Fr. David takes us deeper: physical life and death matter, but our spiritual life or death is even more decisive. St. John tells us, “Whoever does not love remains in death” (1 Jn 3:14). Spiritual death is the absence of charity; spiritual life is union with God, who is love (Jn 14:23). St. Faustina writes in Diary 1148 that “we resemble God most when we forgive our neighbors.” Without forgiveness, the heart withers. Without truth, charity collapses.Through the story of Anna Maria Schmidt, Fr. David shows the terrible cost of hatred and the supernatural power of forgiveness. Her journey—from rage to grace—reveals that only God can heal the heart so deeply that it can forgive even in the face of grave injustice. This is the same grace our nation desperately needs. More than 65 million children have been lost to abortion since 1973. This staggering reality exposes not only a crisis of truth, but a crisis of love.Scripture teaches, “You shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free” (Jn 8:32). Love divorced from truth becomes sentimentality; truth without love becomes cruelty. But united, they become the path to holiness. Study the faith. Seek the Holy Spirit, the Spirit of Truth. Pray for our nation. And ask God daily to enkindle in your heart the charity that defends life, forgives enemies, and transforms the world.#marian #marians #marianfathers #marianhelpers #divinemercy #thedivinemercy #catholic #catholicism #romancatholic #romancatholicism #frdavid #catholictiktok #prolife #loveandtruth #holiness #gospeloflife #donumvitae #forgiveness #saintfaustina #mercy ★ Support this podcast ★

Dr. Fei-Fei Li is known as the “godmother of AI.” She's been at the center of AI's biggest breakthroughs for over two decades. She spearheaded ImageNet, the dataset that sparked the deep-learning revolution we're living right now, served as Google Cloud's Chief AI Scientist, directed Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Lab, and co-founded Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered AI. In this conversation, Fei-Fei shares the rarely told history of how we got here—including the wild fact that just nine years ago, calling yourself an AI company was basically a death sentence.We discuss:1. How ImageNet helped spark the AI explosion we're living through2. Why world models and spatial intelligence represent the next frontier in AI, beyond large language models3. Why Fei-Fei believes AI won't replace humans but will require us to take responsibility for ourselves4. The surprising applications of Marble, from movie production to psychological research5.

Welcome to episode #1010 of Thinking With Mitch Joel (formerly Six Pixels of Separation). What if the search for our "true selves" has been leading us away from who we actually need to become? That's the tension at the heart of Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic's work, a globally respected authority on people analytics, talent, leadership, and the Human–AI interface whose career spans ManpowerGroup, Deeper Signals, Meta Profiling, Columbia University, UCL, and decades of research that have shaped how organizations understand human behavior. His latest book, Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated (And What To Do Instead), challenges one of the most cherished modern beliefs - that success comes from projecting our raw, unfiltered selves - and instead argues that adaptability, reputational awareness, and a more evidence-based approach to identity lead to better outcomes for individuals, teams, and societies. He is also the author of Why Do So Many Incompetent Men Become Leaders?, I, Human, The Talent Delusion, and many others. In this conversation, we unpack how hyper-normalized ideas take root, why celebrity culture distorts our sense of what authenticity looks like, and how social media has gamified identity into a curated performance that misleads both the performer and the audience. He explains why leaders must balance sincerity with impression management, how hybrid work and return-to-office debates reveal deeper anxieties about trust and presence, and why intellectual curiosity may be the antidote to polarization in an era where algorithms reward tribalism. The discussion also explores the limits of self-perception, the psychology of reputation, the dangers of treating outliers as role models, and the pivotal role AI may play in counteracting human bias. Ultimately, Tomas argues that authenticity without responsibility collapses into narcissism, and that a more thoughtful, flexible, and socially attuned version of ourselves is not only possible, but necessary.

John 4:1-15FIVE PRINCIPLES FOR SPIRITUAL CONVERSATIONSTRANSITION:“From Jesus' conversation with the Samaritan woman, I want to give you five practical principles that you can use THIS WEEKPRINCIPLE #1: START WHERE THEY ARE“Notice how Jesus begins. He doesn't launch into a sermon. He doesn't hand her a tract. He asks for a drink of water!John 4:7 Jesus started with something natural, something she could relate to. He met her at her point of need—she had water, He was thirsty.Start conversations where people already are. Talk about their job, their family, their struggles, their interests. Find common ground.1 Corinthians 9:22Don't be weird. Don't be pushy. Just be HUMAN. Build a bridge through genuine interest and conversation.”“Ask questions! People love talking about themselves. ‘How's your family?' ‘What do you do for work?' How were you raised spiritually ‘How are you handling all the stress in the world right now?'PRINCIPLE #2: CREATE CURIOSITY“Once Jesus has her attention, watch what He does:John 4:10He didn't force the conversation. He INTRIGUED her. He made her curious. She had to ask, ‘What are you talking about? What is this living water?'You don't have to explain the entire gospel in 30 seconds. You don't have to argue or debate. Just create curiosity.Share your story in a way that makes people want to know more.Tell story about Charlene 1 Peter 3:15Did you catch that? WHEN they ask. Create curiosity, and they'll ASK!”PRINCIPLE #3: GO FROM PHYSICAL TO SPIRITUALJesus is a master at this. He takes something physical—water—and turns it into something spiritual.John 4:13-14 He's saying, ‘You're focused on physical water, but I'm offering you something that satisfies your SOUL.'Listen for spiritual hunger underneath physical conversations.Someone says, ‘I'm so stressed at work.' → You can say, ‘I used to feel that way until I found peace in my relationship with God.'Someone says, ‘I'm so lonely.' → You can say, ‘I've learned that only God can fill that hole in our hearts.'Someone says, ‘I feel like my life has no purpose.' → You can say, ‘That's exactly how I felt before I discovered God's plan for my life.'Every physical need points to a deeper spiritual need. Jesus knew that. And He gently moved the conversation from surface level to soul level.”PRINCIPLE #4: BE HONEST ABOUT SIN—BUT WITH COMPASSION“This is where a lot of Christians mess up. We either avoid talking about sin altogether, or we come across as judgmental and harsh.Talk about your struggle with sin… Some of the peace and victory you have seen."Your mess can become your message, and your test can become your testimony."Watch how Jesus handles it:John 4:16-18Jesus is DIRECT. He doesn't sugarcoat her sin. But notice His tone—He's not condemning her. He's revealing her need for a Savior.Don't avoid talking about sin, but speak the truth in LOVE.Ephesians 4:15“Here's the secret: Jesus didn't bring up her sin to SHAME her—He brought it up to SHOW her she needed the living water only HE could provide.When you talk about sin, always point to the SOLUTION: Jesus.”PRINCIPLE #5: MAKE IT PERSONAL—REVEAL JESUS“The woman keeps trying to make the conversation theoretical. She wants to debate theology and argue about where to worship.But Jesus brings it back to HIM:John 4:25-26Boom. There it is. ‘I'm the one you're looking for. I'm the answer to your search.'At some point in the conversation, you have to make it about JESUS.Not religion. Not church. Not rules. JESUS.Acts 4:12 “Your testimony is powerful. Tell them what Jesus has done in YOUR life. Not in a preachy way, but in a personal, authentic way.‘Let me tell you how Jesus gave me purpose when I felt worthless.'‘Let me tell you how Jesus forgave me when I thought I was too far gone.'Revelation 12:11 says we overcome ‘by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of [our] testimony.'”

We saw that we cannot rely on human wisdom to bring us to God (I Cor 1:18 – 2:16). Human wisdom does not bring people to God. Trusting in Christ crucified does. Today's question, question 3, is related to last week's question. I want to show you that the focus of these principal teachings of scripture, what we are to believe and how we are to live, is Jesus.

summary In this episode of the AI for Sales podcast, host Chad Burmeister speaks with Ghazenfer Mansoor, CEO of Technology Rivers, about the intersection of AI and healthcare technology. They discuss the importance of user experience in app development, the role of AI in streamlining software processes, and the misconceptions surrounding AI's capabilities. Ghazenfer shares insights from his book 'Beyond the Download' and emphasizes the need for a human touch in technology. The conversation also touches on emerging AI technologies, ethical considerations, and essential skills for leveraging AI effectively. Takeaways The focus should be on user experience, not just downloads. Optimizing for customer experience leads to profit. AI is not a replacement for humans but an augmentation. AI can significantly reduce software development time. Misconceptions about AI include it being a one-click solution. Human context is essential for AI to provide accurate results. Emerging technologies like MCP and agentic AI are game-changers. Ethics in AI requires a governing body to ensure responsibility. Articulation and storytelling are key skills for using AI effectively. AI can assist in various tasks, enhancing productivity.

In this episode, Tara highlights the struggles Americans face amid systemic government dysfunction: Visa and wage impact: H-1B and H-4 visas are driving down wages and limiting career growth for Americans, particularly in fields like healthcare and pharmacy. Families of visa holders can work as well, compounding the impact on local workers. Welfare and Medicaid fraud: Millions of dollars in benefits have gone to ineligible recipients, including illegal immigrants, while American families are denied assistance. The Trump administration has removed 700,000 fraudulent SNAP recipients and is recovering Medicaid funds from six states. Human perspective: Callers share personal stories of struggling to access support for special needs children and seeing wage suppression firsthand, highlighting the tangible consequences of policy failures. Media and policy accountability: Increased transparency and free speech are leveling the playing field, exposing hoaxes and forcing policy enforcement in areas long ignored. This episode combines policy analysis with the voices of real Americans, showing how federal and state actions—or inactions—directly affect everyday lives.

Have you ever watched a war movie and realized that the actors didn't know how the conflict would turn out? World War 2 movies are like that. When they filmed “Casablanca,” Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman weren't sure whether the Germans would win or lose.Life can be like that.Matthew 28:20 says, “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.”In your own life, you might be facing some really serious stuff. And it's not unusual to be staring at several problems at once. That's when God's Word is so valuable to us. Jesus has promised us that He will stick right with us all the way through. Human friends often go a long way with us, but only Jesus is sure to never, ever leave us.That's the best way to beat the uncertainties of life.

Deze week bespreekt Annette van Soest met Diederik Samsom, een van de architecten van de Green Deal en auteur van het boek “Groene Supermacht”, de staat van het klimaatbeleid in Europa. Want de Green Deal die hij samen met Frans Timmermans in de steigers zette staat onder druk. Zowel in de Raad als in het Parlement wordt er aan belangrijke klimaatmaatregelen gemorreld. Maar volgens Samsom is het nog niet te laat. Hoe komt klimaat weer bovenaan de politieke agenda? Welke stappen moet de EU zetten? En hoe wordt Europa een groene supermacht? Dat hoor je hier.

What happens when a basketball star loses everything from his NBA dream, his identity, and even his beloved coaching job at his alma mater?In today's episode of "Fine is a 4-Letter Word," you get to meet Coach Matt Doherty, who opens up about the masks we wear, the power of vulnerability, and why saying "I'm fine" can be the most dangerous lie we tell ourselves.Coach Doherty grew up on Long Island with dreams of basketball greatness. He achieved remarkable success as a three-year starter at the University of North Carolina under legendary coach Dean Smith. But his NBA dreams were cut short, leading him to Wall Street during the decade of greed where he began self-medicating with alcohol.After building a successful coaching career that culminated in his dream job as head coach at UNC, Matt's world came crashing down when he was fired after just three years in a very public manner. This devastating blow, combined with his struggle with alcoholism, forced him into a period of deep self-reflection and transformation. The turning point came through discovering emotional intelligence and the power of vulnerability, leading him to remove what he calls his three masks: the "tough guy mask," the "smart guy mask," and the "I got my shit together mask."Today, Matt is an executive coach using his hard-earned wisdom to help leaders avoid the landmines he stepped on during his own leadership journey. Through his work with peer advisory groups and his book "Rebound: From Pain to Passion," Matt demonstrates that true strength comes from exposing your struggles to the light instead of hiding them.Get ready to hear about the morning routine that changed his life, why he believes vulnerability is the new invincibility, and the surprising origin of the word "coach." Whether you're leading a team, building a business, or just trying to get out of bed some mornings, this episode will challenge you to take off your masks and step into who you're meant to be.Matt's hype song is Ramble On by Led ZeppelinResources:Coach Matt Doherty's websites: https://coachmattdoherty.com/ and https://dohertycoaching.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/coachmattdoherty/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachmattdoherty/ Claim your copy of “Rebound: From Pain to Passion” at https://dohertycoaching.com/books/ Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because you've got annual all-hands meeting and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's where I come in. Forward thinking companies are hiring me to produce internal podcasts. To bring leadership...
In this enlightening episode of "Crafting a Meaningful Life," host Mary Crafts engages in a profound conversation with visionary leader Jeff Burningham. With over 200 successful startup investments in the burgeoning tech scene of Utah, Jeff brings a wealth of experience and insight into the challenges and opportunities in today's rapidly evolving digital landscape. Together, Mary and Jeff explore the deep themes of crafting a meaningful life, conscious decision-making, and the significance of pausing and reflecting at the height of professional success. Jeff introduces his latest work, "The Last Book Written by a Human," a compelling narrative on humanity's evolving relationship with AI. As AI emerges as both a challenge and an enabler for human transformation, Jeff underscores its role as a "cosmic mirror" reflecting back to us our societal values and prompting a return to intrinsic human qualities. Highlighting the themes of love, unity, and wisdom, he argues for a repositioning away from mere progress for progress's sake towards a more enriched human experience. Jeff and Mary also discuss the perennial philosophical question of why humans often choose hate over love and what it truly means to live as human beings rather than human doings. About the Guest: Jeff Burningham is a renowned entrepreneur and investor from Utah, known for his significant contributions to the tech and real estate sectors. He is the founder of Peak Capital Partners, a prominent real estate private equity firm, and has played a pivotal role as an initial investor in notable ventures such as Spotify, Podium, and Weave. A native of Spokane, Washington, Burningham moved to Utah, where he launched a successful technology business in his mid-20s. Beyond his entrepreneurial pursuits, he has also ventured into politics, running for governor of Utah, and has served as an adjunct professor teaching entrepreneurship. Presently, Burningham is focused on fostering a movement toward human flourishing and wisdom, especially in the age of artificial intelligence (AI), a theme central to his newly released book, "The Last Book Written by a Human." Key Takeaways: Transformational Role of AI: AI is viewed as a cosmic mirror by reflecting our societal values, prompting humans to introspect and align themselves more with wisdom and love. Inner Reflection for Evolution: Jeff emphasizes going inside oneself to unearth wisdom and suggests this inner journey is crucial for personal and collective evolution. Love as a Central Principle: Emphasizing that love is often the key answer to human problems, even in a business context, Jeff argues for leading life and enterprises with love at the center. The Cycle of Disruption and Transformation: Jeff details the process of societal transformation through the cycles of disruption, reflection, transformation, and evolution. Universal Human Challenges: Both Jeff and Mary highlight the universal human experience of struggle and pain as catalysts for transformation and unity.

Cyberthreats are everywhere, and while they may be inevitable, their impact can be manageable. Institutions who are prepared for cybersecurity disruptions are proactive and collaborative about their response. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features FCCS SVP of Marketing and Communications Stephanie Barton, Lisa Parrinello, FCCS VP of Risk Management & Insurance Services and Naomi Baumann, FCCS VP of Claims & Insurance Services. Together they discuss how Farm Credit's Captive Insurance Company is helping institutions strengthen their cyberdefenses and what boards of directors need to know to stay ahead of the cybersecurity game. Episode Insights Include: The bigger picture of cyberthreats Cyberthreats used to be considered an IT-only problem, but that isn't the case anymore. These enterprise-wide issues demand board-level attention. Ransomware, extortion, targeted financial systems and AI deep-fake impersonations are some of today's biggest cyberthreats. The goal today isn't just protection, it's resilience. A prepared institution can respond and recover from cyberthreats no matter where they hit. The role of Farm Credit's Captive Insurance Company As the captive, they provide institutions cyber insurance and management services that go beyond what commercial insurance markets can offer. They offer tailored protection designed specifically for the unique cooperative structure of Farm Credit. Collaborative claims management proactively responds to any incident or threat of incident. Their strategic access to commercial markets allows them to purchase insurance as well. Over the years, Captive has saved an average of $50 million in insurance coverage. Consistent system-wide learning whenever instances occur. Resilience tools and strategies Resilience requires a multi-layered approach based on assents and security needs. Threat detection and response pinpoint vulnerability, endpoint detection, and tabletop exercises. Human-centric risk management and ongoing employee training are critical for cyber risk management. Employees and people are always going to be the weakest link in cybersecurity. Data protection and resilience in communications in sensitive information need to be encrypted and backup tested. Cybersecurity is not an impenetrable armor, it is an anatomy with multiple systems working together to respond and continue operating in a culture of proactive risk management. The pivotal role of the board Directors need to prioritize an approved annual cyber risk manual. Ongoing development and maintenance of a robust program is essential. Boards should receive quarterly reports on threats, vulnerabilities and mitigation actions. Cyber oversight needs to be integrated into business technology planning. FCA should be notified within 36 hours of any cyber incident. The culture of cybersecurity Institutions build resilience when everyone is involved. Third party oversight and engagement with cyber-focused legal counsel is crucial. Most breeches don't happen in bad systems, they happen when good people let down their guard. Muscle memory kicks in when crisis hits, but only when preparation has occurred. Ultimately, cybersecurity is everyone's business. This podcast is powered by FCCS.

Living alone may be difficult, but what about dying alone? Physicians and nurses are the new priests accompanying people as they face death. But the experience of nursing homes, assisted living, and palliative wards are often some of the loneliest spaces in human culture.“He said, ‘Someone finally saw me. I've been in this hospital for 20 years and I didn't think anyone ever saw me.'”This episode is part 5 of a series, SOLO, which explores the theological, moral, and psychological dimensions of loneliness, solitude, and being alone.In this episode, Columbia physician and medical ethicist Lydia Dugdale joins Macie Bridge to reflect on loneliness, solitude, and what it means to die—and live—well. Drawing from her clinical work in New York City and the years of research and experience that went into her book The Lost Art of Dying, Dugdale exposes a crisis of unrepresented patients dying alone, the loss of communal care, and medicine's discomfort with mortality.She recalls the medieval Ars Moriendi tradition, where dying was intentionally communal, and explores how virtue and community sustain a good death. Together they discuss solitude as restorative rather than fearful, loneliness as a modern epidemic, and the sacred responsibility of seeing one another deeply. With stories from her patients and her own reflections on family, COVID isolation, and faith, Dugdale illuminates how medicine, mortality, and moral imagination converge on one truth: to die well, we must learn to live well … together.Helpful Links and ResourcesThe Lost Art of Dying: Reviving Forgotten Wisdom by Lydia S.

In this powerful Remembrance Day episode, Kelly Kennedy reflects on the legacy of his grandfather, a man shaped by courage, humility, and service, and explores the timeless truths that still define human connection today. Through the lens of personal history and Dale Carnegie's century-old wisdom, Kelly reminds us that while our tools have evolved from typewriters to smartphones, from face-to-face meetings to AI, the fundamentals of who we are have not. Our desire for understanding, empathy, belonging, and trust remains unchanged, and those who remember how to connect on a deeply human level will always lead the way.This episode bridges the past and present, showing that in business and life, success is never about the newest technology, it's about mastering the oldest skill in the world: authentic human connection. Drawing from history, psychology, and lived experience, Kelly offers timeless lessons that prove our humanity isn't a weakness in the digital age, it's our greatest advantage.Key Takeaways: 1. The tools we use will always evolve, but the fundamentals of human connection never change.2. Technology can enhance communication, but it can't replace genuine empathy or trust.3. Authentic relationships are built on listening, understanding, and caring — not automation.4. Success in business still comes down to people choosing people they like and believe in.5. The wisdom of the past remains relevant because human nature hasn't changed.6. Dale Carnegie's teachings on kindness, respect, and curiosity are more powerful now than ever.7. Human connection is the greatest differentiator in a world filled with noise and competition.8. To move forward, we must remember and honor the lessons that brought us here.9. Leadership is not about control or efficiency, it's about humanity and connection.10. In every era — past, present, or future — our greatest advantage will always be being human.If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

Welcome back to The Literary Life podcast and our series on Aldous Huxley's Brave New World. Angelina Stanford, Thomas Banks, and Ella Hornstra open the conversation by sharing their commonplace quotes, then jump into the book discussion with some connections between Huxley and Lewis Carroll and how Brave New World is like Alice in Wonderland. Angelina also teaches about the medieval conception of the tripartite soul and how it relates to this story, as well as making some distinctions between literary satire and parody. They talk about more of the pictures of Freudian principles as illustrated in this society, as well as the way in which the characters live like machines. Ella goes into a little introductory information on Shakespeare's The Tempest and its connections to Brave New World to keep in mind as we continue reading. Don't forget to check out this coming year's annual Literary Life Online Conference, happening January 23-30, 2026, "The Letter Killeth, but the Spirit Quickeneth: Reading Like a Human".

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) are complex sugars that pass undigested to your baby's colon, where they feed beneficial bacteria, strengthen defenses, and support healthy brain and immune development A systematic review and meta-analysis in Frontiers in Pediatrics found that breast milk continues supplying substantial amounts of HMOs beyond 12 months, supporting gut health and brain development into toddlerhood Certain HMOs, such as 3-fucosyllactose, even increase over time. This shows that the balance of individual sugars shifts across lactation and continues shaping your child's development after infancy Breast milk also contains myo-inositol, a sugar shown to boost synapse formation and neuronal connectivity, highlighting how breast milk delivers brain-supportive compounds beyond traditional nutrients To keep your breast milk as nourishing as possible for your baby, prioritize whole foods, minimize unnecessary medications, and reduce toxin exposure. If breastfeeding isn't possible, screened donor milk is the next best option
