Podcast appearances and mentions of Ian Graham

How did data help Liverpool spot Andy Robertson, and why did Jürgen Klopp overlook concerns about his defending?Former Liverpool research director Ian Graham explains what Scottish clubs can learn from smarter recruitment. Are players in Scotland really undervalued? Is the experience placed on older homegrown players blocking the pathway for emerging talent? And should Scotland cast it's net wider and exploit the Scottish diaspora to attract more eligible players from abroad?Plus, Ian argues that Scotland's refereeing standards may make English clubs think twice about sending promising youngsters north on loan.00:00:53 — How Liverpool spotted Andy Robertson00:02:57 — Is Scottish football behind on data?00:03:56 — Are players in Scotland really undervalued?00:06:02 — The homegrown age problem00:10:04 — Fixing Scotland's talent pathway00:12:04 — Are refereeing standards driving talent away?

We turn to Psalm 63 to name spiritual thirst without pretending it feels easy, then follow David's path from desperation to memory, blessing, and trust. We wrestle with where God is in suffering, how to think about enemies through Jesus, and how longing can become a doorway to real satisfaction in God's steadfast love. • Psalm 63 as language for spiritual dryness and honest prayer • the question of why God feels elusive and why we must seek • naming pain without denial, including anxiety and fear • enemies in the Psalms alongside Jesus' call to love • Ephesians 6 and the fight against sin and death rather than people • remembering God's past faithfulness as an antidote to forgetfulness • hesed as covenant love that is better than life • blessing and worship as a formative force, not a mood • desire, idols, and the search for satisfaction in lesser things • sleepless nights, spirals, and learning to meditate with trust • Jesus fulfilling Psalm 63 through the wilderness and the cross • clinging to God as a learned way of life Support the show

We wrestle with Paul's hardest lines in 1 Corinthians 7 and ask what “unhindered devotion to the Lord” looks like for single people, married people, and everyone in between. We frame the whole passage with eschatology, the now and not yet, and the hope that God's future can reshape our ordinary lives right now. • Paul's “impending crisis” and the claim that the present form of the world is passing away • Remaining as you are as a starting point for faithfulness rather than a command to freeze your life • Unhindered devotion as the aim behind Paul's counsel on marriage, singleness, engagement, and widowhood • Eschatology as a lived reality that transforms time and loyalty • Singleness as intrinsic value and a witness against idolizing the nuclear family • Abiding in Christ from John 15 as the pattern for devotion • Q&A on gendered language, engagement customs, desire and passion, LGBTQ questions, and married devotion "we'll have some people that are prepared to pray for you in the back of the room. They are both standing right now. Gene and Alexa, if you want to turn around, you can. they'd be honored to pray with you." Support the show

We walk through 1 Corinthians 7 and name how Paul speaks to widows, widowers, married couples, and mixed-faith homes with a steady through line of trust and faithfulness. We hold Jesus' hard words on divorce alongside trauma-aware wisdom, reminding each other that God sees real lives and meets us with grace, truth, and peace. • Paul's “gift” language around singleness and celibacy and why it is not a command for everyone • How Paul separates personal counsel from a command of the Lord and what that shows about inspiration • Why marriage is more than an antidote to lust and how a low view of marriage harmed people in purity culture • Jesus' teaching on divorce in Mark 10 and Matthew 5 and how to avoid both dismissal and legalism • Modern myths about divorce rates and what the data actually suggests • How betrayal, abuse, control, and deceit can function as covenant-breaking “sending away” • Paul's counsel for believers married to unbelievers and the call to peace • The pressure to “perform” faith at home and a gentler, more honest posture of witness • The deeper anchor of God's covenant in Christ that holds when human covenants fracture If you'd like to receive prayer, there'll be some folks at the back. You can make your way quietly back there if you need prayer Support the show

What does Paul mean that married couples have authority over one another? Well, it all depends on your definition of authority. Support the show

We tell a story about an ordinary night that changed a life, then let Paul's words in 1 Corinthians 6 reframe how we see our bodies, sex, and resurrection. We push back on shame and self-deception and hold out a grounded hope that Jesus redeems our physical lives, not just our inner thoughts. • an ordinary decision becoming a doorway to God's surprising work • Paul quoting Corinthian slogans and correcting their assumptions • why “food for the stomach” is really about sex • Greek dualism and the modern habit of separating body and soul • Jesus' bodily resurrection in Luke 24 as the anchor • union with Christ and why sexual immorality is never “just physical” • “your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit” as identity and dignity • “you are not your own” as relief from exhausting self-ownership • pornography, lust, and the possibility of real freedom • conviction without lingering in shame, confession as a first step If you'd like to receive prayer during the song or during the time of communion, I invite you to slip out of your seat. Support the show

We read one of Paul's toughest lists in 1 Corinthians 6 and refuse to let it become a weapon, because his point is not condemnation but transformation. We land on the promise that our past does not get the final word, because in Jesus we are washed, sanctified, and justified. • why Paul says “do you not know” and how vice lists function rhetorically • where our culture agrees with Paul while quietly tolerating greed, contempt, and coping through alcohol • what porneia means and why Acts 15 matters for Christian sexual ethics • why translation is interpretation and why malakoi and arsenokoitai raise hard questions • the difference between condemning behavior and condemning people, including how we talk about orientation • how the church can honor singleness without isolating singles, including friendship, hospitality, and healing touch • “washed” as baptismal identity and Jesus' cleansing that changes self-perception • “sanctified” as God's holy pull that reshapes desire and forms a priesthood for the world • “justified” as God's gift that ends the scramble to prove our worth and redefines the good life “If you've never said yes to Jesus, there'll be people that are just willing to pray with you.” “The people with the lanyards are the people you want to find if you'd like to receive prayer.” Support the show

We trace Paul's claim in 1 Corinthians 3 that God chooses to dwell in a people, not just impressive structures, and we face the warning that breaking unity is a serious attack on God's temple. We return to the gospel as the only foundation, then ask what it looks like to build faithfully with God while trusting him for growth and outcomes. • God's presence as something shared between us, not sequestered in a special place • The warning against destroying God's temple by jealousy, quarreling, and factionalism • The gospel of Jesus as saving and sustaining wisdom, always and only • What “the flesh” means as our default mode apart from God's Spirit • Church as a garden to be tended, not a machine to be managed • Building on the foundation of Christ with work that endures the fire • Grace and effort through Dallas Willard's line about earning versus effort • The wisdom of the cross as the end of boasting in people • “All things are yours” as comfort for life, death, present stress, and future uncertainty Say yes to him today. Support the show

We keep trying to “improve” Christianity by stapling our cultural values onto Jesus and calling it wisdom. That's how the prosperity gospel turns blessing into comfort, how progressive Christianity can shrink the kingdom into a political mirror, and how conservative Christianity can blend holiness with power, nationalism, and scripts that look more like capitalism and individualism than the Sermon on the Mount.We walk through those distortions without pretending the underlying desires are all bad. God does want to bless. Jesus does liberate. God does call us to holiness. The question is whether we're arriving there by the way of King Jesus or by the shortcuts of our age. The turning point is the wisdom of the cross: when Jesus defines blessing, it includes betrayal, scarcity, and suffering held inside God's faithfulness. That wisdom “harbors no additions” because it is revelation, not projection. It's God showing us what God is like in Christ.From 1 Corinthians 2 we talk about the Holy Spirit as God's gift, freely given, granting access to the mind of Christ. Not as spiritual trivia or a way to win arguments, but as practical wisdom for Christian living, spiritual formation, and decision-making under pressure. We also face the painful question of why some hearts stay closed and what our role really is. The answer is both humbling and freeing: we are witnesses, not saviors, judges, or attorneys. We testify with words and with lives shaped by love, and we pray, “Come, Holy Spirit.”If you've been stuck in performance pressure, shame, or anxiety loops, listen through the end and try the simple practice we name: “I have the mind of Christ.” If this helped you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review so more people can find it.Support the show

Power is getting cheaper, faster, and more automated, and that should make us uneasy. We start with a surprising bridge between AI fears and ancient Scripture: if an AI system can pursue a “good” goal in a destructive way, what does that reveal about the way humans chase wisdom and control? From there we step into 1 Corinthians and let Paul draw a bright line between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of God revealed in Christ crucified.We talk about why the cross sounded like nonsense in the first century, why it still confronts our instincts today, and how it refuses to stay in a small “religion” compartment of life. We also wrestle with the kind of people God calls, why early critics mocked the church as unimpressive, and what it means when modern church attendance trends toward the educated and socially stable while the poor and overlooked are missing. That tension forces an honest question: are we building a comfortable club, or living a gospel that is genuinely good news to the oppressed?We end with Paul's own confession about preaching in weakness, not relying on superior speech but on a demonstration of the Spirit's power. The invitation is simple but demanding: stop patching Jesus onto a scattered life and receive a coherent way of being shaped by the cross, where boasting fades and grace becomes real. If this challenged you, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a review with the line that hit you hardest.Support the show

We trace Pentecost from Acts 2 into Paul's urgent call for unity, naming how the church slides into division when we build around personalities, power, and cultural scripts. We ask the Holy Spirit to make us a people who can truly hear one another and live as a new humanity shaped by the wisdom of the cross. • Pentecost as new creation language through wind and fire • Babel dismantled through Spirit-given understanding, not just speech • The church as God's flawed but chosen witness across history • Paul's plea in 1 Corinthians 1 for unity without divisions • How denominations, politics, and personality camps fracture Christian community • Celebrity culture and content consumption as modern “I follow Paul” • The cross as God's upside-down wisdom and real power • Achievement culture, self-sufficiency, and burnout as a rival story • Azusa Street as a vivid picture of multiethnic unity and its unraveling • A Spirit-formed unity that moves beyond surface diversity into shared purpose If you'd like to receive prayer, you can come receive prayer. If you've never said yes to Jesus in your life, and perhaps you feel his beckoning call here this morning, what better day than today than to say yes to him? Support the show

Interview with Ian Graham, President, Oroco ResourcesRecording date: 11th May 2026Oroco Resources is advancing the Santo Tomás porphyry copper project in northwest Mexico toward a Pre-Feasibility Study (PFS) targeted for Q2 2027, positioning the asset as a capital-efficient development in a supply-constrained copper market.The project's August 2024 Preliminary Economic Assessment outlined robust economics: a $1.48 billion after-tax NPV, internal rates of return exceeding 22%, and initial capital requirements of approximately $1.1 billion based on $4 copper and $1,900 gold assumptions. Operating costs are projected below $1 per pound, with a 2.8-year payback period. Notably, Santo Tomás demonstrates capital intensity of roughly $10,000 per ton of annual copper production—about half the industry average—lowering the barrier for potential acquirers and reducing development risk.The resource base exceeds one billion tons grading over 0.5% copper equivalent. The current technical program focuses on converting inferred resources to the indicated category, particularly in the South Zone, while exploring expansion potential to the southwest. Metallurgical work by Whittle Consulting identified that 70–80% of the resource consists of softer material than originally tested, suggesting opportunities for reduced energy consumption and improved throughput.Strategically, Oroco envisions a district-scale development incorporating the Bahuerachi project to the north and the Vainilla exploration target to the south, potentially enabling shared infrastructure and extended mine life. The company also benefits from rare grassroots political support: community advocacy secured Santo Tomás a place on Plan México, President Claudia Sheinbaum's priority list of 40 large capital investment projects, improving the permitting outlook.With new CEO Charles Cryer—a former analyst who previously covered the project—joining mid-2026 to lead M&A outreach, Oroco aims to achieve transaction-ready status by mid-2027. Institutional investors are backing this Phase 2 restart after the stock's post-2021 correction, betting that Santo Tomás's scalable, low-intensity profile will attract mid-tier and major copper producers seeking growth assets in an electrification-driven market.Learn more: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/companies/oroco-resource-corpSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com
