Baltimore serves as a compelling case study, cutting homicides by nearly 60% through proactive outreach to at-risk individuals and community investment.The Dark Side of AI - Elon Musk's AI chatbot Grok has released millions of sexually inappropriate images on X, including disturbing content involving minors. Looksmaxxing: Young Men in Crisis - A troubling new trend reveals how young men are obsessing over physical appearance enhancement, often to unhealthy extremes. This movement reflects deeper issues of identity, worth, and the pressure created by social media culture.China's Demographic Collapse - China's birth rate continues its dramatic decline despite government incentives to encourage childbearing. The discussion explores cultural factors, economic pressures, and what this means for global demographics.Listener Q&A:Faith-Based Ministries and Immigration - A listener asks whether Christian ministries serving undocumented immigrants could face legal consequences under potential new enforcement policies. ==========Think Biblically: Conversations on Faith and Culture is a podcast from Talbot School of Theology at Biola University, which offers degrees both online and on campus in Southern California.

In the hours after the Jan. 3 US invasion of Venezuela, social media was inundated with fake videos and images. Some showed Venezuelans holding huge rallies in favor of the US invasion. Others showed US troops landing or firing from helicopters. Others showed Maduro being kidnapped. Not all were AI. Some were old, showing anti-government rallies from years past. Or from other places—other invasions or bombing raids, unrelated to the current US attack. But these videos racked up tons of views, misleading millions of people about what was happening on the ground. Many of those people still don't know the truth. It was only the tip of the iceberg.Today, host Michael Fox looks at the misconceptions, myths, and misinformation that has been spread about Venezuela in the wake of the US invasion and, together with political scientist Steve Ellner, dives headfirst into the biased reporting and slanted truths that have underpinned the mainstream narrative on Venezuela in recent weeks, years, and decades. Under the Shadow is an investigative narrative podcast series that walks back in time, telling the story of the past by visiting momentous places in the present. Season 2 responds in real time to the Trump administration's onslaught on Latin America.Hosted, written, and produced by Michael Fox. Script editing by Heather Gies.This podcast is produced in partnership between The Real News Network and NACLA.  Theme music by Monte Perdido and Michael Fox.

St. Isaac the Syrian does not allow us the comfortable fiction that we can want less than everything and still be safe. His words strip away a thousand modern compromises. To say I only wish to escape Gehenna but not to enter the Kingdom is for him a form of madness. There are not three places. There are two. To fall short of the Kingdom is already to enter the place of loss. Hell is not merely fire but exclusion. It is the outer darkness of having turned away from the Face that was offered. The tragedy is not that we were punished but that we did not desire enough. This is why the spiritual life cannot be treated as damage control. We are not here merely to avoid catastrophe. We are here to be transfigured. Christ did not come so that we might barely survive eternity but so that we might shine as the sun in the Kingdom of the Father. Every half hearted approach to faith is therefore a refusal of glory. It is not humility. It is fear disguised as prudence. Isaac calls us to a hunger that dares to want everything God wants to give. From this flows his severe counsel about silence and withdrawal. He is not condemning love of neighbor. He is defending the integrity of the heart. If a man seeks to heal others while losing his own clarity then his charity has become a form of self betrayal. A clouded mind cannot give light. A weakened conscience cannot give strength. To remain in constant exposure when one is not yet stable is not heroism. It is negligence. Isaac insists that the first obedience is to guard the sanctuary of the heart. When the heart is healthy it teaches without words. When it is sick even holy words become hollow. Here he shows something deeply uncomfortable for our age. Being seen is not the same as being holy. Being useful is not the same as being whole. One can be busy for God while drifting away from Him. To be far from men in order to be with God is not selfishness when it preserves the soul. In time such a life benefits others more than any speech because it radiates truth rather than merely talking about it. This leads to Isaac's terrifying diagnosis of how corruption begins. The devil does not start with fornication. He starts with vainglory. He offers the sweetness of being admired for virtue. It seems harmless. It even feels spiritual. Yet the moment the mind steps out of its refuge to taste this praise the door is opened. What begins as spiritual self regard becomes sensual fantasy. What was once clear becomes confused. The fall is not sudden. It is incremental and therefore more deadly. One indulgence prepares the next. The first passion creates the conditions for the second. The remedy is not endless argument with thoughts. Isaac is blunt. To wrestle with passions once they have filled the imagination is already to be weakened. Images and idols are stamped upon the mind. The heart loses its simplicity. The truer strategy is to outrun them by remembrance of virtue and God. When the soul turns immediately toward what is pure and beautiful the invading thoughts find no place to lodge. They depart without leaving a trace. Everything in these pages converges on one demand. We must want God more than our safety more than our reputation more than our consolations and more than our sins. The Kingdom is not won by those who merely avoid falling but by those who run. To hold anything back is already to drift toward the outer darkness. To give everything is to begin even now to shine. --- Text of chat during the group: 00:02:12 Fr. Charbel Abernethy: Humility Real? - how heart react when another wounds us Is our understanding of the Kingdom and its light childish or rooted in mature faith Do we desire the kingdom or look for an in-between state Do we teach others before we are healed? Enemy is subtle - vainglorious to focus on sin or temptation. Should focus on virtue. Resolve and labor tied together Virtue must be practiced otherwise we are like a fledgling without feathers Humility, fervor, tears can be lost through negligence Affliction should ultimately give way to hope. Should not seek ways to avoid the cross  •  11. Begin with courage.  Don't divide the soul but trust God absolutely 00:02:42 Fr.

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius This week Mark and I began a mini series on songs that appear on Yes members' solo albums but could have been re-worked as effective Yes songs. It was interesting to listen to our first subject, Steve Howe's first 3 solo albums, Beginnings, The Steve Howe Album and Turbulence back-to-back. There are plenty of differences to enjoy, plus some singing from Steve. We compared notes on several songs and also assigned what we called a 'Yesability score' to each song. All will be revealed in our conversation. Which Howe solo songs did we choose? Is it easy to tell what could have been Yes songs instead of solo numbers? How does Steve's music change over the years?

Addy and Joey put two AI workflows head-to-head: training a LoRA with Z-Image versus using reference images with Nano Banana Pro to replicate film cinematography. In this episode, we test whether LoRAs are still necessary for capturing specific cinematography styles, or if reference images alone can deliver the same results. Using the VistaVision look from the film One Battle After Another as our target, we explore practical workflows for pre-production and previsualization.--The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are the personal views of the hosts and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of their respective employers or organizations.

Daniel and Wilbur return to the SHACK and put their finger on the pulse on what the world is throwing at us this week. It's seems to me the magic television box, and now the mini versions we all carry in our pockets, share with us stories and events that are horrible and traumatic and sometimes manufactured. Images meant to manipulate your mind and having you live in a world that THEY want you to live in. The truth is we all have a say in how the world turns, how the sausage is made, how the butter is churned, how the biscuits are baked! Do you understand yet?? We have to take control of our sovereignty and remember why God put us here on this Earth. Not to quibble about things out of our control, but to instead take control of our lives and live them in ways we wish to live them! This can only be achieved through solidarity and commitment to excellence and all that is good and righteous!Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Dusty White here with Kerri for a quick 14-minute dive into something that's going to change how you look at the Aces in your deck. Here's the thing: all four Aces are cardinal. Every single one. And that matters more than you might think. What We're Covering: Why Cardinal Energy Changes Everything: Cardinal energy is compressed, explosive, immediate—like a match flaring up or an auto accident. It all happens at once. The Aces aren't subtle. They kick the door down, do their thing, and that's it. Even when they look friendly and nurturing, they're still telling you what to do. Reading the Images, Not Memorizing Keywords: Look, astrology is the measure of all energy on earth. So we can actually understand what's happening in a card by looking at the quality (cardinal, fixed, or mutable), the polarity (masculine or feminine), and the element (fire, earth, air, water). The image tells you everything you need to know—you don't need to memorize a bunch of keywords from some book. Breaking Down the Four Aces: Ace of Wands (Cardinal Fire): That motivational coach energy—"Get out there and DO it!" Aggressive, invasive, passionate, physical. Ace of Pentacles (Cardinal Earth): "I provide for you. Stay here where you're safe and controlled." Nurturing but confining—Darth Vader saying "I am your father." Ace of Swords (Cardinal Air): Commanding, decisive, sometimes harsh. Luke Skywalker jumping into the abyss. Very "take this" energy. Ace of Cups (Cardinal Water): Emotionally overwhelming. The hand is offering, not commanding, but those emotions are still flooding over you. The Visual Cues: Notice how the masculine suits (Wands and Swords) show hands grasping, asserting—very in-your-face. The feminine suits (Pentacles and Cups) have supportive, cupping hands. But don't be fooled—they're all cardinal, so they're all forceful. Just one does it the hard way, the other does it the nice way, but you're doing it their way either way. This is part of a series where we're going to analyze each card based on what the image is actually showing us. If you've got questions, write me at dusty@academyofdivination.com, or come to the live Saturday class. Pull out your four Aces and let's look at what they're really saying.

For over 150 years, photography has played a powerful role in shaping how Indigenous peoples of the Americas are seen and too often misunderstood. Images made about Indigenous communities rather than by them have circulated widely in museums, textbooks and popular culture, reinforcing narratives of disappearance, distance or anthropological extraction. “In Light and Shadow,” the ambitious new book by photographers Brian Adams and Sarah Stacke, directly challenges that legacy, not by rejecting photography's past but by radically re-centering who controls the archive, who tells the story and who the work is for.Adams, an Iñupiaq photographer based in Anchorage, and Stacke, a Brooklyn-based photographer, writer and archival researcher, approach photography less as image-making than as long-term relationship-building and storytelling. Their collaboration grew out of “The 400 Years Project,” an expansive initiative marking the anniversary of the Mayflower by foregrounding Indigenous photographers across generations, geographies and the full range of photographic practice — from 19th-century studio portraits to contemporary conceptual work.In this interview, Adams and Stacke discuss the ethical and logistical choices behind “In Light and Shadow,” the politics of archives and representation and what it means to be storytellers accountable to the people whose lives and histories they photograph.https://brianadams.photoshelter.com/indexhttps://sarahstacke.com/Hosted on Ausha.

Chief Creative Officer of Bruce Mau Design, Laura Stein grew up on Nun's Island outside of Montreal, a near utopia where kids never had to cross the street. Her psychiatrist father and museum-involved mother cultivated curiosity about emotions, critical thinking, and the arts. A move to Texas in her teens resulted in quite a culture shock. Laura found an innate knack for peer reviews and analysis, which became a strength throughout the rest of her academic and professional career. Originally graduating with a degree in English, she returned to school to study art, where she found not only her community, but her band mates. From there, it was a wild ride - record signing (Sub Pop,) touring, and navigating all the ups and downs of being in a girl band in the ‘90s – the ultimate creative boot camp. Now in leadership at Bruce Mau Design, she's deploying the wisdom garnered from all these experiences to build a culture focused on keeping possibility alive.

Micah 6:6-8 - "How should someone approach God?" is one of the most important questions a person can ask. The Christian gospel contends that God has graciously first approached His people in the person and work of Jesus Christ--God with us. But to walk in intimacy with God, we are called to be conduits of the heart of God to others around us through what the prophet Micah calls "doing justice." In this sermon, we consider some basic principles for doing justice with a sacrificial heart, both responsively and proactively. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 2 of our series "Images and Neighbors, Every One"] Questions for reflection: 1) This passage from Micah first outlines some wrong answers to the question "With what shall I come before the Lord?" What does this make clear about how not to approach God? 2) How would you define "doing justice"? What are some of the most important aspects? 3) Doing justice can involve time, treasure, and talents or serving, financially giving, and advocacy. Why is "doing justice' not reducible to just one of these activities? 4) Discuss the idea of planning for both responsive/reactive justice work and proactive/strategic justice work. 5) Why is a loving heart an indispensable part of this? 6) What is the connection between the grace of Christ toward us and our doing justice toward others?

Air Date: 1/17/2026 There's a lot to be concerned about with AI but the biggest concern is the economic system we have in place at the moment when AI is being introduced. Capitalism is not a good steward of new and potentially dangerous technology, as we've seen from Zuckerberg's move-fast-and-break-things era of social media that he later recognized as having triggered a genocide. When the profit drive necessitates light-speed growth, ethical and safety considerations are the first things to be jettisoned and things get broken. Be part of the show!

Produced by Joseph Cottrell, Wayne Hall, Ken Fuller and Jeffrey Crecelius Preston Frazier This week Mark and I welcomed our longstanding friend, Preston Frazier, onto the show to talk about his (relatively) new book, ‘Yes Indeed - Yes without Jon Anderson'. It's a fascinating and very different kind of Yes book, as you'll discover. As always, Preston was full of fun, even when we posed him some of the most difficult questions we have ever asked on the YMP. He took these in his stride, of course and I'm sure you will enjoy the conversation as much as we did. Why did Preston write this book? What was his approach? Is this book similar to any other books about Yes? Let us know what you think in the comments below. In “Yes Indeed: Tales from Yes Without Jon Anderson,” music journalist Preston M. Frazier delves into the transformative eras of the legendary progressive rock band Yes during the times when their iconic frontman, Jon Anderson, was absent. Through meticulous research and insightful analysis, Frazier chronicles the band's resilience and evolution, shedding light on the albums, tours, and lineup changes that defined these pivotal periods. This compelling narrative offers readers a deeper understanding of Yes's enduring legacy and their ability to innovate beyond expectations.

What does abracadabra mean? You've heard magicians in tuxedos say it, as well as children with magic wands. Maybe even in a Disney movie! It feels magical even if you've never stopped to ask why. It's playful, mysterious, and seems to appear at the exact moment something changes. Today, I'm not talking about stage tricks or fairy tales. This is an invitation to reclaim the magic in words. Abracadabra was meant to heal and to shift energy, and offers a powerful doorway back to something ancient and surprisingly scientific. If you've ever felt stuck in the same mental loop, repeating the same old stories about yourself no matter how much inner work you've done, this is for you. The Magical Power of Your Words The words you speak shape your brain, your nervous system, and the life you quietly create every day. This is actually ancient and ties to the secret history of abracadabra. If you could travel back to the Roman Empire in the second century and told someone you were sick, they might prescribe something unexpected: Abracadabra – a word-based or spoken medicine. That’s when the earliest written record of abracadabra appears in a Roman medical text called Liber Medicinalis, written by a physician named Quintus Serenus Sammonicus. His instructions were precise. Write the word ABRACADABRA on parchment or metal. Then write it again below, removing the last letter. Continue line by line until only the letter “A” remains. The finished inverted triangle would be worn on a string around the neck, and was suggested for someone suffering from a fever. As the word diminished, letter by letter, the illness was believed to fade out too. Images of reconstructed abracadabra amulets still exist today and are physical evidence that words were once understood as active forces, rather than passive communication. What Does Abracadabra Mean? There isn't one agreed upon translation, which is common with magical words. Many scholars trace it to Aramaic, a language closely related to ancient Hebrew, with meanings along the lines of “I create as I speak” or “it will be created in my words.” Others interpret the word as “let the thing be destroyed,” which fits the idea of illness shrinking away. There are also connections to Hebrew blessing traditions and to a Gnostic figure named Abraxas. You don't need a perfect translation to grasp the shared belief underneath the theories. Saying something with intention, was believed to create change. Words shaped reality. A Form of Protection Between the third and seventh centuries, abracadabra also became a form of protection against misfortune and unseen forces. It was spoken, worn, and traced as a spiritual shield. Breath and sound were the tools. So when a magician says “abracadabra” before a big reveal, they're unknowingly echoing an ancient understanding. The moment you speak is the moment something shifts. Words are spells, in the past and still today. Ancient cultures all over the world shared this concept. Mesopotamian incantations were used to drive out illness. Egyptian healers combined herbs with spoken formulas. Biblical traditions delivered blessings and curses through speech. To the ancient mind, words were a force. Name something and you gained power over it. Speak a blessing and you invited it closer. Today witches may talk of spells but the vast majority of the population doesn’t go there. However, it does show up and is acceptable when discussing neuroscience, psychology, and neural pathways. The actual mechanism is quite similar. See, the stories you repeat to yourself like, “I always mess things up,” “nothing ever works out,” or “I'm too old,” act like incantations. The charm is created through your own voice, and the impact is on your nervous system. Unfortunately, this type of mantra spoken unconsciously and without intentional crafting, can backfire, and could even prevent growth or improvement. After more than twenty years working with intuition and mindset, I've seen this pattern again and again. Change often doesn't happen until awareness and usage of the language changes. The Neuroscience of Self-Talk Modern psychology has studied self-talk extensively. Self-talk includes the running commentary in your head and the sentences you speak about yourself and your life. Supportive, positive self-talk is consistently linked to lower anxiety, better coping skills, and greater resilience. Harsh, critical self-talk is linked to higher stress, increased worry, and decreased performance. On a brain level, negative language activates threat centers like the amygdala, while balanced, compassionate self-talk engages the prefrontal cortex, the part of the brain responsible for regulation and problem-solving. A fascinating 2024 study from the NIH explored what happens when people hear affirming statements spoken in their own voice. Turns out hearing your own voice activates brain regions tied to identity and personal meaning more strongly than listening to someone else's voice. This helps explain why a single kind sentence you say to yourself can calm your body, while a harsh one can feel crushing. When you speak to yourself, your brain treats it as deeply personal. Neuroplasticity is the brain's ability to change with experience. Every thought or phrase you repeat creates a pathway. Repeat it often enough and that pathway becomes easier to access. Negative Inner Dialogue If your inner dialogue constantly says, “I'm stuck” or “nothing changes,” you're reinforcing that route. When you begin practicing language like, “I'm learning” or “I'm allowed to begin again,” you start forging new trails. At first this might feel uncomfortable, but over time, the brain learns to favor them. In other words, the magic words you repeat most often becomes your reality. That's everyday abracadabra isn't it? Language affects your inner world and shapes how you perceive and interact with others. The brain loves consistency. It filters information to match the story you tell yourself or others. That's how a belief becomes self-fulfilling, not because the universe is against you, but because your nervous system wants coherence. I'm not suggesting any kind of by passing, ignoring reality, or your feelings. However, you can acknowledge reality and still choose language that leaves room for growth. Examples include: “This is hard and I'm learning how to handle it.” “This hurts and I'm allowed to receive support.” “This didn't go how I wanted and I'm still worthy of good things.” A Powerful Use of Words These thoughts or phrasses are still like “abracadabra” because they are a powerful use of words. Ancient healers didn't deny pain or discomfort. They combined practical care with ritual and language and you can do the same. Abracadabra, in its most empowering interpretation, means “I create as I speak.” Every time you describe who you are or want to become, your brain responds and so does the Universe. Possibilities open or close based on the language you choose. Listen to the podcast for the visualization I created to leverage Abracadabra and this idea of diminishing letter by letter to change a situation which updates your inner operating system. As you move through your day, notice how you talk about yourself. You don't need to monitor every word. Just become curious about the ones that feel heavy or limiting. Then, gently replace them with language that aligns with the life you want to create. This is modern magic, neuroplasticity, and a daily practice, all in one exercise . Abracadabra and there you go!

Brian O'Donovan, RTE's work and technology correspondent, reports that Elon Musk's X will stop Grok from undressing images of real people, after an international backlash.

LESSON 15My Thoughts Are Images That I Have Made.t is because the thoughts you think you think appear as images that you do not recognize them as nothing. You think you think them, and so you think you see them. This is how your “seeing” was made. This is the function you have given your body's eyes. It is not seeing. It is image making. It takes the place of seeing, replacing vision with illusions.This introductory idea to the process of image making that you call seeing will not have much meaning for you. You will begin to understand it when you have seen little edges of light around the same familiar objects which you see now. That is the beginning of real vision. You can be certain that real vision will come quickly when this has occurred.As we go along, you may have many “light episodes.” They may take many different forms, some of them quite unexpected. Do not be afraid of them. They are signs that you are opening your eyes at last. They will not persist, because they merely symbolize true perception, and they are not related to knowledge. These exercises will not reveal knowledge to you. But they will prepare the way to it.In practicing the idea for today, repeat it first to yourself, and then apply it to whatever you see around you, using its name and letting your eyes rest on it as you say:This _______ is an image that I have made.That _______ is an image that I have made.It is not necessary to include a large number of specific subjects for the application of today's idea. It is necessary, however, to continue to look at each subject while you repeat the idea to yourself. The idea should be repeated quite slowly each time.Although you will obviously not be able to apply the idea to very many things during the minute or so of practice that is recommended, try to make the selection as random as possible. Less than a minute will do for the practice periods, if you begin to feel uneasy. Do not have more than three application periods for today's idea unless you feel completely comfortable with it, and do not exceed four. However, the idea can be applied as needed throughout the day.- Jesus Christ in ACIM

Elon Musk's company said it will geoblock the abiity of users to undress images, in countries where this is illegal.

-X says it is changing its policies around Grok's image-editing abilities following a multi-week outcry over the chatbot repeatedly being accused of generating sexualized images of children and nonconsensual nudity. -OpenAI has debuted a dedicated ChatGPT-powered translation tool. While folks have been using the main chatbot for translation for some time, Android Authority spotted that you can now find ChatGPT Translate on its own webpage. -Spotify is raising the prices for its premium subscriptions by $1 to $2 across the board, starting this February. Those are similar figures to the company's last price hike in 2024. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Elon Musk's xAI says its Grok AI chatbot will be restricted from generating sexualised images of real people after it was used to create pictures of women and children in varying states of undress.

Today we reflect on a world sliding deeper into confrontation as Iran faces growing unrest at home and rising pressure from abroad. Images of protest, power, and control collide with warnings of escalation and the sense that something is reaching a breaking point. Technology, ideology, faith, and force all intersect here, raising questions about authority, truth, and what happens when regimes respond to dissent with brutality rather than accountability.

Your AI images look impressive... until someone notices the extra finger or robotic grin. That's exactly what I saw when I first dabbled in AI branding. Without a solid process, you end up with weird artifacts, cold-traffic ads that flop, and zero ROI on your "pretty" creatives. Enter Jenna Soard. She's the AI brand wizard who taught me how to craft hyper-real images, upsell videos, B-roll storyboards, and more all using AI, without dropping thousands on photoshoots. Today on the podcast, I'm sitting down with Jenna to show you how to use tools like Nanobanana (Gemini 3.5), Ideogram, and SORA to build brand assets that actually convert in 2026. Listen in and discover the secret to hyper-real brand photos (no weird fingers), which tools to use for ad graphics vs. infographics, when to show your face to warm audiences, how to create a digital video twin with SORA for seamless upsell clips, and crafting B-roll storyboards that stop the scroll. Ready to get hands-on? Jenna and I are hosting a free workshop next week on AI-powered sales pages and branded creatives. Save your spot at brandonlucero.com/jenna  Did you enjoy this episode?

Many of you have watched their work evolve over the years, shaping how modern cycling is seen and remembered. I've been lucky enough to have a front-row seat to that journey.Today, I'm joined by Ashley and Jered Gruber — a husband-and-wife photography duo and two of the most influential visual storytellers in the world of cycling. From their early years to the biggest races on the calendar, I've watched them quietly shape how the sport looks, feels, and is remembered.This conversation is an honest look into life inside the peloton. We talk about instinct versus technique, creative doubt, missed shots, and the pressure of making split-second decisions when there are no second chances. Jered and Ashley open up about working together under extreme stress, following the Tour de France for weeks on end, navigating chaos at Flanders and Roubaix, and why even after all these years, they still feel the urge to try something different.This isn't just a conversation about photography. It's about trust, partnership, curiosity, and earning your place — not by being loud, but by consistently doing the work at the highest level.This is Part 1 of a three-part series. In the episodes to come, we'll go deeper into how they met, their early years in cycling, full race-day workflows, and what still inspires them today.Hope you enjoy this one.CHAPTERS00:00 – Intro05:34 – First Dolomites memories & meeting Igor Tavella 08:45 – Most crazy expensive place they've slept in the Tour10:36 – Their favorite photo 11:37 – The shot they still regret missing 15:27 – Cycling's most underrated roads 18:06 – Post-Tour exhaustion & recovery 20:25 – Favorite races to shoot23:09 – Technique vs instinct 27:46 – Koppenberg vs Paterberg vs Kwaremont 32:24 – Gear, lenses & race-day survival 37:38 – Planning locations with moto pilots 40:44 – Graham Watson & early inspiration 44:32 – Explaining their job outside cycling 46:05 – Why documentary photography still matters 47:07 – EndingCONNECT ⁠Ashley Norris Gruberhttps://www.instagram.com/ashleygruber/Jered Gruber https://www.instagram.com/jeredgruber/Igor Tavellahttps://www.instagram.com/igortavella/Ustaria Posta Hotelhttps://www.instagram.com/ustariaposta/https://www.ustariaposta.it/– HOST –Søren Jensen, Global Marketing Manager at Castelli, has worked for this iconic brand since 2006.

Luke 4:16-21 - We are beginning a 5-week examination of God's demand for His people to be about justice and compassion, just as He is. We begin with the words Jesus used to announce the character of His public ministry: words that contain the heart of God, the example of Jesus, and a call to all of His disciples. A sermon by Cameron Heger. [Part 1 of our series “Images and Neighbors, Every One: A Brief Theology of Justice and Compassion”] Questions for reflection: 1) How would you answer the question: "What did Jesus come to do?" 2) Why should we take this passage in Luke 4 as especially important for understanding Jesus's overall mission? 3) What all did Jesus say that He came to do in Luke 4:18-19? 4) What is the relationship between physical needs and spiritual needs in Jesus's words here? What is the relationship between them in general for Jesus? 5) How did Jesus actually put these words into practice over the course of His ministry? 6) How is this passage a reminder of what Jesus first did for us spiritually? How might that motivate us to become people of justice and compassion toward our neighbors?
