The A.M. Update Week in Review highlights key moments from the week. Malcolm Gladwell's Wall Street Journal talk argues driverless cars, tested with Waymo in Phoenix, are too safe, incentivizing pedestrian misbehavior like kids playing soccer on streets, potentially causing urban gridlock. A discussion with Dr. Beisner reframes the global warming debate as not about human contribution (which he concedes is negligible) but about whether Earth exists for human flourishing or vice versa, questioning if conceding human impact is strategic. Tucker Carlson's Turning Point USA speech critiques conservatives for focusing on minor victories like gender in sports while ignoring bigger issues like drugs and economic decline, linking moral and middle-class decay. Richard Nixon's In the Arena excerpt on 1960s education dysfunction parallels today's societal challenges, emphasizing education as a linchpin. The Trump administration earns a B+/A grade, marred by slow DOJ/FBI action on accountability, despite strong immigration and military recruitment gains. A poll shows 70.3% give Trump a “pass,” with critiques on Epstein files and Syria policy.   Malcolm Gladwell, driverless cars, Waymo, pedestrian behavior, global warming, Dr. Beisner, human flourishing, Tucker Carlson, Turning Point USA, moral decay, middle class, Richard Nixon, education dysfunction, Trump administration, DOJ accountability, Epstein files

It is easy to feel isolated these days, to long for connection, to wonder if there is more in life than this (whatever "this" is to us). Faith calls us to the recognition of a deeper reality but also it calls us to the recognition of our need for one another, the sense of transcendence pushes us not just vertically but horizontally, to a sacredness before us. This week, join Pastor Juan Carlos for worship.

In this message, Pastor Lance reinforces the importance of sharing our spiritual gifts with each other and that we are to be motivated by love so we can help everyone rise together.

The smallest technical decisions become humanity's biggest pivots:The same-origin policy—a well-intentioned browser security rule from the 1990s—accidentally created Facebook, Google, and every data monopoly since. It locks your data in silos—and you stayed where your stuff already is. This dynamic created aggregators.Alex Komoroske—who led Chrome's web platform team at Google and ran corporate strategy at Stripe—saw this pattern play out firsthand. And he's obsessed with the tiny decisions that will shape AI's next 30 years:- Whether AI keeps memory centrally or user-controlled?- Is AI free/ad-supported or user-paid?- Should AI be engagement-maximizing or intention-aligned?- How should we handle prompt injection in MCP and agentic systems?- Should AI be built with AOL-style aggregation or web-style openness?This is a much-watch if you care about the future of AI and humanity.If you found this episode interesting, please like, subscribe, comment, and share! Want even more?Sign up for Every to unlock our ultimate guide to prompting ChatGPT here: https://every.ck.page/ultimate-guide-to-prompting-chatgpt.

Conley has served the Catholic Church in a wide variety of ways—as pastor, college campus chaplain, director of Respect Life ministries, theology instructor, Vatican official and bishop. In all of these tasks, he has seen his life as a priest as a call to service and complete surrender to "God's providential hand." For his episcopal motto, Bishop Conley, a convert to the Catholic faith, chose the same motto as the great 19th-century English convert, John Henry Cardinal Newman, "cor ad cor loquitur," which means "heart speaks to heart." On Sept. 14, 2012, Pope Benedict XVI appointed Bishop Conley as the bishop of the Lincoln Diocese in Nebraska. He was installed as the ninth Bishop of Lincoln on Nov. 20, 2012. Timestamps:00:00 Introduction05:44 The Human Person and Education08:39 The Role of Wonder in Education12:38 Faith and Science: A Harmonious Relationship15:58 The Poetic Imagination and Education27:02 Mental Health and the Modern Generation33:13 Engaging the Senses in Learning34:19 Teacher Burnout and Finding Joy in Teaching38:25 The Role of Humility in Teaching40:36 The Human Element in Education41:04 The Journey of Learning TogetherResources & Links:Bishop Conley's Pastoral Letter on Mental Health (2024): https://www.lincolndiocese.org/afuturewithhopeBishop Conley's Pastoral Letter on Catholic Education (2024): https://www.lincolndiocese.org/joyandwonderClassical Education Master's Program at the University of Dallas: udallas.edu/classical-edSt. Ambrose Center Professional Development for Teachers and Administrators: https://k12classical.udallas.edu/Support the showIf you enjoyed the show, please leave a rating and review — it helps others find us!

Continuing in our series on relationships, Pastor Lance begins his discussion on the importance of sowing and planting seed through spiritual conversations in the lives of others. 

After thirty sermons in the Sermon on the Mount, the closing verses remind us that it is not only about the teachings but about the Teacher. The Pharisees taught by authority (handed down), but Jesus taught with authority—because he is God, the great “I AM.” The God who gave the law to Moses on Mount Sinai is the Jesus who delivered the Sermon on the Mount. But instead of “stay away from the mountain,” Jesus invites us to come because he is the law and the mediator and the sacrifice.

In the final words of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus tells a parable about two builders—one wise, one foolish. Both hear his words, build houses, and face storms. But only one house stands. This message reminds us, that the direction of our lean—our foundation—matters more than appearance. Which way are you leaning and what are you building on?

This B-Side episode delves into the world of AI and ethics with Carl M. Javier, chief AI ethicist and executive director of Data and AI Ethics PH. It explores how artificial intelligence, a technology disruptive in both good and bad ways, impacts human dignity.While AI can worsen inequality - posing challenges for nations like the Philippines that still grapple with Internet access - making this technology "more human" depends on collective efforts to define humanity and build equitable systems.Interview by Patricia MirasolAudio editing by Jayson Mariñas

Carmen spends some time looking at the current conflict between Israel and Iran.  There are so many symbols and symbolic language around it.  What does it all mean?  John Plake of the American Bible Society offers more insights from the State of the Bible 2025 report.

What if the success stories you believe, the leadership advice you follow, and the wellness rules you swear by are built on shaky evidence—or no evidence at all? Even well-meaning ideas like grit, purpose, and diversity can cause harm when taken at face value. So, we challenge you to think critically before embracing feel-good narratives.In today's Happiness Squad Podcast episode, Ashish Kothari and Alex Edmans expose the dangers of misinformation in the pursuit of happiness, well-being, and leadership. Alex Edmans is a British economist and Professor of Finance at London Business School, renowned for his work on responsible business and corporate governance. He authored the influential book Grow the Pie: How Great Companies Deliver Both Purpose and Profit, which argues that businesses can achieve sustainable success by creating value for all stakeholders—not just shareholders. This book was named a Financial Times Book of the Year in 2020 and has been translated into nine languages .In addition to Grow the Pie, Edmans co-authored the 14th edition of Principles of Corporate Finance and released May Contain Lies: How Stories, Statistics, and Studies Exploit Our Biases – And What We Can Do About It in 2024.In the conversation, Alex reveals how many popular beliefs are based on flawed data, biased research, and confirmation bias. Ashish and Alex discuss how critical thinking is the most underrated skill in the age of instant advice.Things you will also learn in this episode:• How confirmation bias shapes what we want to believe• The unproven hype behind Simon Sinek's “Start With Why”• The shaky science behind the 10,000-hour success rule• The confusion between correlation and causation in diversity studies• The overgeneralization of grit as a universal success factor• How to build smarter organizations through dissent and inclusionDon't let bad data shape your decisions. Learn how to think critically.

What does it really mean to flourish — not just as individuals, but as communities, cultures and societies? In this episode of Today's Conversation, Byron Johnson, distinguished professor of social sciences at Baylor University and co–director of the Global Flourishing Study, expands our vision of human flourishing to a global scale.Byron Johnson joins NAE President Walter Kim to unpack surprising and hopeful findings emergingfrom the Global Flourishing Study, a groundbreaking international research project he leads in collaboration with Harvard University and others. Together, they explore how flourishing is being measured across the world and why it matters now more than ever — for people of faith, for the Church and for the future of society. In their conversation, they explore: What makes the Global Flourishing Study a truly unprecedented effort;  Why flourishing is about more than just health and wealth — it's also about purpose, relationships and faith; How the Church plays a vital role in shaping holistic well-being; and How the Bible offers a compelling vision of what it means to thrive. ResourcesFull conversation with Byron Johnson on YouTube  For further study, see Ezekiel 47, John 7 and Revelation 22 Global Flourishing Study “More God, Less Crime: Why Faith Matters and How it Could Matter More,” by Byron Johnson “The Faith Factor and Social Welfare: Evidence, Practice, Policy,” by Byron Johnson (coming in December 2025) Moving Society From “Me” to “We,” NAE podcast with Robert Putnam and Shaylyn Romney Garrett  “Faith That Flourishes,” by Walter Kim in Evangelicals magazine 

Matthew 7:21–23 is one of the most sobering passages in all of Scripture. The mark of the King's servants is that they live according to the will of the King. There are many who are quick to speak in the name of the King, but will one day find themselves unwelcome in his presence.

Anyone who has taken a hike in the wild knows how difficult it often is to identify certain plants and fruit. But in times of survival, being able to identify plants and fruit could mean the difference between life and death. In Jesus' next warning in the Sermon on the Mount, we find an exhortation to identify teachers and Christians by their fruit. Anyone can mask their true intention, but a discerning Christian will know the difference.

Tom Logue - June 1st 2025 Hypocrisy can hide in the most devoted-looking lives—how do we make sure it's not hiding in ours?As we continue our series The King & His Kingdom in Matthew 15:1–9, Jesus calls out the Pharisees not for breaking the law—but for replacing it with their preferences. It's a sobering look at how easily we trade the heart of worship for appearances, and God's commands for our own comfort. This message challenges us to examine our lives for the subtle signs of hypocrisy—and respond with humility, repentance, and trust in the One who paid the ultimate price for us.

Continuing in a series on relationships, Pastor Lance reminds us of the importance of quality of our heart for stewarding growth. 

Matthew 7:12–14 contains two of Jesus most famous Sermon on the Mount sayings: the golden rule (v. 12) and his teaching on the wide and the narrow gate (vv. 13–14). Taken to heart, these exhortations rescue us from pursuing a life of ease and help us to die to self, take up our cross, and daily follow him. We consider two things from these verses: 1. Christian Love (v. 12) 2. The Way to Life (vv. 13–14)

Gavin, Richard, and Jessamy return to the studio to discuss some publications that caught their eye this month, and in doing so set themselves the lofty goal of examining how meaning, purpose, optimism, and social context shape our understanding of health beyond traditional clinical measures.

The White House is facing backlash for posting an AI image of Donald Trump as the Pope. Was it a careless joke or a calculated distraction? The most extensive study of its kind finds that the world's largest Muslim country far outranks the United States in human flourishing, and also explains why secular elites are discovering a new respect for religion. But is there more than a practical purpose behind faith? Historian Beth Allison Barr is back to discuss her latest book, “Becoming the Pastor's Wife.” She says expectations for ministry spouses aren't rooted in Scripture but in a reaction to feminism in the late 20th century, and Barr explains how marriage replaced ordination as the way for women to serve the church.
