As we regather for the second part of this event, Aviv Shahar offers this reflection: “One of the ways I answer the question, ‘What is it like to be in this liminal transition from an epoch that's fading to a new epoch that's emerging?' Well, it's like being in a playground — after I allow myself to relax to the situation. A lot of the time I don't feel relaxed. I feel I need to be something, to do something, to meet a certain need.” Sound familiar? We have been exploring together the shift from one epoch to another, and what that means for us as individuals and as a global community: letting go of what is no longer needed (making space), finding balance and stability while relaxing into the unknown, being open to what is newly possible and upholding in ourselves what we want to nurture into the future. It is easy to grasp these concepts intellectually without them ever hitting “home” for us personally. Far more powerful is to engage these contemplations with our Soul, our faithful guide and companion, designed to see us through these changes. What unfolds here are experimental and experiential ways of exploring these concepts so that we can feel them — literally, in the rigidity of a coiled fist compared to an open hand — and encouraged toward our individual discovery because that is the kind of playground where we learn and discover best. The invitation here is to dive deeper, beyond the brain, into the interiority, into the emotions/heart, into the sensory responses that are activated, or inspired, by contemplation into the questions at hand. The whole of us is the playground, under the management of our Soul, for this exploration, while connecting us to ways of engaging our full system that will serve us well in the times ahead.

Well, it is like being in a playground, after I allow myself to relax to the situation. A lot of the time I don't feel relaxed. I feel I need to be something, to do something to meet a certain need. And what if actually, this which is now seeking to access that which is latent in us, what if it needs us to relax into not knowing? What if it needs us to relax into playfully discovering?” (Aviv) “One of the contemplations that emerged for me about the idea of separated and connected is that it teaches me to honor that we are separate individuals. And there is a design reason as to why life would want us each to be configured as a unique individual, and there is a design and purposeful reason behind why, along the evolutionary story, we released ourselves from tribal entity where we were homogenous, one unified self, to the discovery of the individuated self over recent centuries. And that there is a reason why this continual evolution is now nudging us to discover a new way of coming together.” (Aviv) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception Website Aviv's LinkedIn Aviv's Twitter Aviv's Website Beyond the Collapse – Event Part 2: Separate Yet Connected
"12. Having had a spiritual awakening as the result of these steps, we tried to carry this message to alcoholics, and to practice these principles in all of our affairs." — Alcoholics Anonymous, Page 60 " If you don't realize the source, you stumble in confusion and sorrow. When you realize where you come from, you naturally become tolerant, disinterested, amused, kindhearted as a grandmother, dignified as a king.

In this episode, Al and Jenny meet Justin Gill. Justin became a follower of Jesus as a young man in his native Pakistan from where he immigrated to the UK. Immersed in post-industrial English communities for twenty years, he became well acquainted with the complex realities of race, poverty, religion, and questions of belonging. This conversation explores the turbulent relationship between Christianity, Islam and secularisation in a time of cultural and political instability. Justin senses that God has brought him, as a Christian, into Muslim contexts, and to be among the indigenous English working class. His love for peoples and place is evident in his deep understanding of these different communities' reactions to deindustrialisation, and how their responses to current tensions express their distinct histories and worldviews. Tying all this together is his deep conviction of Christ as Redeemer and His presence in hard, conflicted places.Justin Gill works with the Fellowship of Independent Evangelical Churches (FIEC), advising on cross-cultural mission in a network that links more than 50,000 Christians across the UK. Justin speaks here in a personal capacity. Born and raised in North Pakistan, he was an advisor on minority affairs to a political party and led relief operations following the 2005 earthquake. Moving to the UK in 2006, he gained an MSc in Development and Project Planning at Bradford University and lived in North Yorkshire. He continues to support evangelical church networks in Pakistan. He now lives in Leicestershire and attends Knighton Free Church.For Justin Gillhttps://fiec.org.uk/people/justin-gillhttps://fiec.org.uk/who-we-are/staffhttps://uk.linkedin.com/in/justin-gill-fiechttps://x.com/Justin4Gillhttps://fiec.org.uk/resources/moving-towards-intercultural-churchhttps://fiec.org.uk/resources/should-every-church-be-multi-racialFor Alan J Roxburgh:http://alanroxburgh.com/aboutFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/alan.roxburgh.127/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thecommonsnetworkBooks:Forming Communities of Hope in the Great Unravelling: Leadership in a Changing World (with Roy Searle)Joining God in the Great UnravellingLeadership, God's Agency and DisruptionsJoining God, Remaking Church, Changing the World: The New Shape of the Church in Our TimeFor Jenny Sinclair:Substack: https://t4cg.substack.com/s/from-jenny-sinclairWebsite: https://togetherforthecommongood.co.uk/from-jenny-sinclairLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenny-sinclair-0589783b/Twitter: https://twitter.com/T4CGFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/TogetherForTheCommonGoodUKInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/t4cg_insta/ Get full access to Leaving Egypt at leavingegyptpodcast.substack.com/subscribe

Called to Covenant - Fr Derek Thome - Yr A
How to listen: Don't listen to this as if you are hearing a sermon or a teaching! But..Sit in your prayer position, use your earphone or headphone, if available, and enter into the inner silence. The place of ‘no thought realm', stillness, quietness, where the presence of God covers your whole being. Then, allow these words to circulate your entire being, while your eyes, ears and your mind are closed and tuned to Jesus Christ. Even if you fall asleep in the middle, it doesn't matter, you will wake up a different person. Enter into His Oneness and Walk with Him, Today. Ecstasy in Jesus is your inheritance!Apple Podcasthttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/tamil-christian-meditation/id1640990212Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/4AkZ3rwV92EfhvcEzAuQjKAnchorhttps://anchor.fm/holy-spirit2

Originally from the southwest of France, Marco has been honing his craft for over 27 years. Immersed in the French and Spanish rave culture since 1995, his music naturally became its reflection. As a techno DJ and producer, he has released more than sixty EPs and remixes on labels such as Labrynth, Illegal Alien, Elektrax, Coincidence, The Zone, and Amazone, some of which have received support from iconic artists such as Chris Liebing, Richie Hawtin, Laurent Garnier, Speedy J, and Dave Clarke. In 2004, he founded Amazone Records, which—21 years later—has established itself as a leading French label, featuring some of the most talented artists on the international scene, including Perc, Charlotte de Witte, Marco Bruno, Submerge, Electric Rescue, Mark Williams, Audio Injection, Tom Hades, and David Carretta, among many others. Alongside his solo projects, he has also collaborated on an electro-techno live act with Parisian singer Drey. Their first release in 2008 received support and collaboration from pioneers David Carretta and Millimetric, and was highlighted by media such as Trax Magazine. His acclaimed performances have taken him across France, as well as to Spain, Mexico, Switzerland, Poland, and Italy. A passionate actor and defender of electronic culture, Marco stands as part of a generation of truly committed artists. -- FACETS Podcast Episode 118: Marco Asoleda SC: https://soundcloud.com/marco-asoleda IG: https://www.instagram.com/marcoasoleda
Part 6: Immersed in the Bible - Dave Smith by KingsGate Community Church
In this episode of Inside Startup Investing, Renji Bijoy joins Chris Lustrino to discuss why he believes spatial computing glasses will become the next major computing platform after smartphones. Immersed began as a VR productivity platform designed to make remote work feel more collaborative and immersive. Today, the company has over 1.5 million users who use its virtual workspace software to create multiple virtual monitors, collaborate with remote teams, and work from anywhere using VR headsets. But Renji believes the existing hardware from major tech companies still falls short. That led Immersed to develop Visor, its own lightweight spatial computing headset designed specifically for work productivity. The company is betting that slimmer, lighter, AI-enabled glasses can finally bring spatial computing into the mainstream. Chris and Renji explore the future of remote work, AI-powered computing, enterprise adoption, hardware manufacturing, crowdfunding strategy, and why Immersed sees itself competing to become the next major tech platform rather than simply building another VR app.

From Radar Research to Stellar Nucleosynthesis Fred Hoyle, born in West Yorkshire in 1915, spent his childhood immersed in the cinema where his mother worked as a pianist, performing classical music for silent films and providing the environment where Hoyle taught himself to read by watching the onscreen subtitles. He pursued his higher education at Cambridge, where he studied under distinguished physicists like Paul Dirac, Max Born, and Rudolf Peierls while developing an interest in chemistry and particle physics. After earning his PhD in 1939, Hoyle's academic career was interrupted by World War II, during which he performed secret radar research for the British military in Section 8X RC8 before returning to Cambridge as a professor in 1945. A critical turning point occurred during a military-related trip to the United States when he met astronomer Walter Baade, whose research into population I and II stars and the catastrophic energy of supernovae inspired Hoyle to investigate how elements are formed. In 1946, Hoyle published a seminal paper on stellar nucleosynthesis, theorizing that the universe's chemical elements, from hydrogen to uranium, were forged step-by-step within the cores of massive stars. This theory emerged during a period of great debate between the "cosmic egg" model proposed by Georges Lemaître and the "steady state" model, the latter of which Hoyle championed despite Albert Einstein's earlier rejection of a similar concept in an unpublished paper. While Gamow argued that all elements were synthesized in the high-heat environment of the early expanding universe, Hoyle maintained that the cosmos was perpetual and lacked a definitive beginning. This rivalry was further complicated by the fact that 1940s astronomers had not yet accurately determined the age of the universe, with estimates fluctuating wildly between 2 billion and 10 billion years.

Throwing it way back this episode holds a special kind of weight. This marks the very first time Bekah and Pastor Lisa came together for a podcast conversation, diving into a question many people quietly wrestle with: what does it truly mean to be all in with God? Not halfway. Not casually showing up. But living fully immersed in faith. Through a powerful and relatable picture of jumping in headfirst despite fear, hesitation, or uncertainty, this episode challenges listeners to move beyond the edge and into full surrender. For anyone who has ever felt stuck, distracted, or unsure about taking that next step with God, this conversation offers both perspective and encouragement. Watch now you won't regret it. #AllInWithGod #FaithJourney #ChristianPodcast #TrustGod #FaithOverFear #Surrender #WalkByFaith #JesusFirst #SpiritualGrowth #FaithTalks #GodFirst #PurposeDriven #DiveIn #NoHoldingBack #KingdomLiving ___________ 0:00 - Welcome & opening prayer 1:00 - Arise 2018 intro - "You're gonna laugh, cry & have Aha God moments" 2:00 - Breaking the ice: the lady next to you really likes you 3:00 - How Arise started from a whisper God gave Lisa at Hillsong Sydney 4:00 - A prophet in Australia sends a vision for the conference 5:00 - "This is the 8th year and it feels different" - sensing something new 6:00 - The labor pains before the conference (it's giving birth energy 7:00 - Theme revealed: IMMERSED - and God already flooded the island 8:00 - What does it mean to be fully immersed?

From Singing for Sweets to Punk PioneerHugh Cornwell, best known as the original frontman of The Stranglers, has lived a career shaped by instinct, rebellion and creative evolution. Remarkably, his journey began at just three years old, singing in the garden for neighbours who rewarded him with sweets. Even then, Cornwell knew he wanted to be a singer—though his parents had very different plans.Despite his artistic ambitions, Cornwell followed a scientific path, studying biochemistry at university under pressure from his family. He even pursued a PhD in Sweden, but it was there that fate intervened. Immersed in a new social scene, he formed a band—and before long, music overtook academia. Abandoning his studies, he returned to the UK determined to make it in music.Back in England, Cornwell helped form what would become The Stranglers, alongside key members including Jean-Jacques Burnel and Dave Greenfield. Early songwriting success came with “Get a Grip on Yourself,” their debut single, marking the beginning of a formidable catalogue. Cornwell's melodic instincts, combined with the band's raw energy, helped define their sound.The band emerged during a turbulent period in mid-'70s Britain—a time of economic hardship, strikes and social unrest. This environment fed directly into their music, sharpening their sound into something tougher and more confrontational. While often labelled as punk, Cornwell saw the band more simply—as songwriters focused on melody and strong hooks, even amid the chaos.The Stranglers quickly rose to prominence with hits like “Peaches” and “No More Heroes,” blending aggression with sophistication. Cornwell even reflects on “Peaches” as an early form of rap due to its spoken delivery. Their later hit “Golden Brown” revealed a more melodic, experimental side—its meaning famously debated before Cornwell acknowledged its dual inspiration.During breaks from relentless touring, Cornwell began exploring solo projects, often driven by spontaneity. His first solo recordings were made in Los Angeles without even informing his record label—an early sign of his independent spirit. Over time, he built a substantial solo catalogue, collaborating with figures like Tony Visconti and continuing to refine his craft.By 1990, after 16 years with the band, Cornwell made the bold decision to leave. The band dynamic had shifted, becoming more like a job than a shared creative journey. Acting on instinct—something that defines much of his life—he walked away, choosing artistic freedom over familiarity.Cornwell has never stood still. From embracing new music distribution models, including free downloads, to experimenting with songwriting processes, he has continually evolved. His later work, including the album Moments of Madness, reflects a more spontaneous and exploratory approach to recording.Outside of music, Cornwell is an author, actor and podcast host, with a deep passion for film. He also maintains a disciplined lifestyle rooted in his scientific background, prioritising health and routine—or as he prefers to call it, “rhythm.”Today, Hugh Cornwell continues to tour and record, performing both solo material and classic Stranglers songs. His story is one of constant reinvention, guided less by planning and more by instinct—a philosophy that has kept him relevant and creatively alive for decades.

Episode #526: “I actually was anti-Muslim when I was in high school!” recalls Thet Swe Win, describing how he was influenced by nationalist propaganda in his youth. But his involvement in the 2007 Saffron Revolution began to change him. Marching with barefoot monks, he witnessed Muslims come from a mosque to give them water, medicine, and slippers. “We do not have to hate each other, but we have to unite and fight back the military,” he realized. His mother, fearful for his safety because of his participation in the protests, sent him to Singapore. Immersed in a multiethnic workplace there, he gradually shed lingering prejudices, concluding that there are only good and bad people, not good or bad religions. Returning to Myanmar, he resumed activism after anti-Muslim violence erupted in Rakhine State in 2012 and spread to other towns, stoked by state television propaganda. In response, he and his peers launched the “Blue Sticker Campaign” to counter the extremist 969 movement and its hate speech. Still, he confesses that the anti-Rohingya propaganda he had absorbed throughout his life left him with lingering bias toward that community—until Rohingya activist Wai Wai Nu drew him into her campaigns and encouraged him to learn their history, which ultimately reshaped his perspective. Later on, Thet Swe Win founded Synergy, an organization dedicated to fostering social harmony. One of its well-known initiatives was the White Rose Campaign of 2019, where Buddhists offered roses to Muslims facing harassment. The gesture spread nationwide as a symbol of solidarity. His activism has drawn threats from MaBaTha, harassment by police, and raids on his office. Yet he remains firm in his resolve, and has refused to leave the region. Thet Swe Win insists Myanmar's future requires moral leadership, curiosity, and accountability. “The revolution without the political leadership or the moral leadership will be a chaos,” he warns. For him, real change “begins within, from within.”

LW1502 - Being Immersed in the World of a Photograph The photography I tend to love best is when I find myself immersed in the world of the photograph rather than just shown an instant in time. Think of that photograph by Joseph Sudek looking out his rainy kitchen window. That image immerses me in his life, his surroundings, his mood. Think of Jerry Uelsmann's fanciful worlds that are nonetheless believable. Do you remember the Griffin and Sabine series of books by Nick Bantock? I could probably go on ad infinitum, but the purpose of bringing this up is to perhaps give you a new framework to view your own images.

What does it really mean to step into a Japanese rope bar - and how do you do it without getting it wrong? In this episode, Mya and Fox speak with Nuit de Tokyo, whose engagement with Japanese rope spans more than three decades. His learning has come through formal training, deep cultural immersion, and proximity to source: watching over a thousand SM performances, performing publicly, and absorbing the unspoken knowledge that circulates in bars, backstage spaces, and long-standing communities. This is a conversation about time, continuity, and lineage - and what Western practitioners often miss. We explore: • Nuit de Tokyo's journey from Paris to Tokyo via martial arts • Discovering SM and rope in the pre-internet era, through rare publications and bondage books • Key differences between European and Japanese rope scenes • What a Japanese rope bar actually is, and why bar culture matters in Tokyo • How rope bars work, event etiquette, and how to attend respectfully • The biggest cultural missteps Westerners make - and how to avoid them • How poetry, Confucian social structures, morality, and Japanese banquet culture inform modern shibari • Dispelling the persistent myth that shibari originates from Hojojutsu Insightful, grounded, and essential listening for anyone curious about rope culture beyond the surface. Nuit de Tokyo first traveled to Japan in 1989 and began collecting kinbaku books the following year, an archive that has since grown into the thousands. By the early 2000s, during a second extended stay, his Japanese language skills allowed him to move beyond observation and into lived experience within the Tokyo SM scene, where studio time, late nights, and long conversations became part of his education. His training is rooted in long-term study rather than brief encounters. A formative lesson with Akechi Kanna in 2005 marked a turning point, and when Kanna came out of retirement in 2010, NdT undertook several years of structured training across the full cursus under him. In parallel, he studied continuously for nine years with Yukimura Haruki, an extended apprenticeship that profoundly shaped his technical approach and his understanding of lineage, transmission, and responsibility within rope.
Growing up in his family's award-winning butcher shop in San Gottardo, Switzerland, Thomas Odermatt learned the foundations of traditional butchery and the art of succulent, tender rotisserie. From his father, Otto, a Metzgermeister (master butcher), he learned the importance of selecting the right cuts for the right purpose and sourcing only high-quality, free-range meats from trusted family farms. From his mother, Maria, he inherited the family's cherished rotisserie recipes, a Saturday specialty that drew loyal customers to the shop.Thomas went on to earn a master's degree in organic farming in Zürich before moving to the United States to continue his studies at the University of California, Berkeley. Immersed in the Bay Area's emerging gourmet food scene, he became inspired to bring his heritage and craftsmanship to a new audience. In 2002, that vision led to the launch of Roli Roti, America's first gourmet rotisserie food truck, created from a singular pursuit: making the best rotisserie chicken possible.As the business grew, Thomas found himself with excess bones and trimmings from the truck. Guided by his butchery roots and a nose-to-tail philosophy, he put every part to use. Thirteen years later, that approach culminated in the creation of Butcher's Bone Broth, an organic, fresh bone broth that reflects his enduring commitment to time, attention, and care in feeding others.

Michael Graham of The Keller Center for Cultural Apologetics and The Gospel Coalition talks about a new group study curriculum called "Making Sense of Us" that helps us explore some of the underlying cultural narratives in the world around us that influence our thinking and those around us. But these narratives are imcomplete and can lead us away from a more robust understanding of life in Christ. Katherine Anne Thierfelder of The Pour Over talks about the ways we get our news, how it can effect us in ways that increases our fear and anger. We should stay informed! But we also need to stay rooted in Christ and the hope of the Gospel. The Reconnect with Carmen and all Faith Radio are made possible by your support. Give now: Click here
Welcome to The Daily, where we study the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every day. Our shout-out today goes to Jay Oldendorf from Blair, WI. Thanks for your partnership in Project23. We cannot do this without donors like you. Our text today is 1 Corinthians 12:1-3. Now concerning spiritual gifts, brothers, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were pagans you were led astray to mute idols, however you were led. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking in the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus is accursed!" and no one can say "Jesus is Lord" except in the Holy Spirit. — 1 Corinthians 12:1–3 Can something feel spiritual—and still lead you away from Jesus? The answer is yes. Not every felt spiritual experience comes from the Holy Spirit. Remember, before the Corinthians became believers in Christ, they were not irreligious. They were deeply spiritual. Passionate. Expressive. Immersed in worship. But Paul reminds them where all that felt spirituality once led them — to mute idols. Mute or dumb idols. Gods that could not speak. Gods who could not reveal truth. Gods who could not command allegiance. These gods stirred emotion but offered no revelation. They moved people, gave them goosebumps and emotional jolts, but those reactions were generated by human psychology and cultural pressure—not by the living, speaking God. Spiritual sensationalism does not always equate to spiritual truth. I have seen spiritual sensationalism, and sometimes it is unsettling because it leads to individual manifestations that drive groups into disunity rather than unity. Notice Paul's correction. He does not say, "True spirituality feels different." He says true spirituality says something: "Jesus is Lord." That confession declares allegiance. Submission. Public identification. But it also makes a further claim—that we are indwelt by the Holy Spirit. This is not simply a declaration; it is an identification. It declares our regeneration. The Spirit does not merely rouse enthusiasm — he produces allegiance. He opens blind eyes (2 Corinthians 4:6). He reveals the things of God (1 Corinthians 2:10–12). He bears witness to Christ (John 15:26). This Trinitarian thread runs quietly under the chapter. The Spirit's primary work is not sensationalism based on feeling; it's the exaltation of Jesus based on fact. And this may come with some good feelings. So here is Paul's test for every spiritual experience: Is Christ being exalted? Is this experience leading me (and others) toward deeper submission to Christ — or merely toward a heightened internal sensation? Is the voice I believe I am hearing aligned with the revealed Word of God — or is it untethered from Scripture and fueled primarily by emotional intensity? This is where discernment becomes difficult. Emotional responses are real. They can be powerful. But not every powerful emotion is produced by the Holy Spirit. Some are stirred by personality, atmosphere, repetition, or group momentum. Mute idols stir emotion without anchoring it in divine authority or revealed truth. The Holy Spirit, by contrast, never operates independently of the Word he inspired. He does not contradict Scripture, bypass Scripture, or add revelation that competes with Scripture. He speaks through it, reveals its meaning, convicts by its truth, and leads us to confess and live under the lordship of Jesus. Spiritual maturity is not measured by volume, novelty, or emotional intensity. It is measured by truth-rooted allegiance to Christ. So the next time something feels spiritual, test it by the Word—and bow your heart to Christ, not the feeling. DO THIS: Pay attention to the voices shaping your spiritual life. Ask whether they consistently lead you to deeper submission to Christ — or merely stir emotional intensity. ASK THIS: How do I discern the difference between being emotionally moved and being spiritually led? What spiritual influences most shape my thinking — and do they magnify Christ? What does it practically mean for me to live as though "Jesus is Lord" this week? PRAY THIS: Holy Spirit, guard me from being impressed by what feels spiritual but is disconnected from Christ. Lead me into truth that exalts Jesus and deepens my obedience to him. Amen. PLAY THIS: "I Speak Jesus"
You are not defined by your worst day. Suffering doesn't disqualify you from glory. Take your cues from above rather than from within the noise of your fears and failures. The same heavens that opened over Jesus have opened over you. Immersed in Him means to put your mind on what is true about you in Christ rather than what feels true about you in the flesh.

This is Lesson #80. The Problem is Separation which manifests in the form of grievances. Grevances divide us from one another and from the Energy of Life itself. In the absence of Peace and Joy and Gratitude toward this very Life we have, we would wallow in separation—and in this separation arise problems. It is devoid of Joy. Immersed in pain, we can end the illusion of suffering today when we end the Separation we feel between ourselves and our Source. Peace and Joy are the attributes of my Source. We can be in the Oneness with our Source. In that Oneness are our problems solved.

On this episode of The Jon Gordon Podcast, I sit down with Liam Coen, head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars for an honest and inspiring conversation about building a new winning culture. Liam's journey began in a small Rhode Island community and inside a family devoted to teaching, coaching, and serving others. From growing up as a coach's son, to enduring the heartbreak of an NFL dream, to rapidly rising through the coaching ranks on the strength of relationships and unwavering commitment, Liam shares what it means to discover your "why" early—and how to live it out authentically, even as the world tries to define you. In this episode, we explore the power of vulnerability in leadership, the lessons learned through loss and growth conversations, and the importance of being true to yourself, both on and off the field. Liam reveals how faith, family, and a commitment to holistic health became the anchors for his transformation, and how he developed the CLEATS culture to foster toughness, love, and authenticity in his teams. We also talk about overcoming the distractions of outside noise, the value of supportive relationships at every level, and how breakthroughs happen in the raw and challenging moments—both in leadership and in life. About Liam, Liam Coen is an American football coach recognized for his offensive creativity, quarterback development expertise, and leadership at both the collegiate and professional levels. Coen began his coaching journey after playing quarterback at UMass Lowell, quickly establishing himself as a rising offensive mind. Coen gained national attention during his time with the Los Angeles Rams, where he worked under head coach Sean McVay. Immersed in one of the NFL's most innovative offensive systems, Coen helped implement a scheme known for its motion, play-action concepts, and quarterback-friendly structure. In 2021, Coen became offensive coordinator at the University of Kentucky, leading a dramatic offensive resurgence. His system elevated the Wildcats' passing attack and helped produce one of the most successful seasons in program history. After returning briefly to the Rams, Coen later served as offensive coordinator for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, where he guided a top-tier passing offense and continued building his reputation as a dynamic play-caller. In 2025, Coen was named head coach of the Jacksonville Jaguars, marking a significant milestone in his coaching career. Known for his detailed preparation, adaptable schemes, and strong rapport with players, Coen is widely regarded as one of football's emerging leaders. Throughout his career, Coen has demonstrated a commitment to innovation, collaboration, and maximizing player potential—qualities that continue to define his impact on the game.

This week on Talk World Radio, we're talking about Iran. Norman Solomon is Co-Founder / National Director of RootsAction. He founded the Institute for Public Accuracy in 1997 and is its executive director. Immersed in anti-war, social justice and environmental movements since the late 1960s, he is the author of a dozen books including "War Made Invisible," "War Made Easy" and "Made Love, Got War."
Send me a DM here (it doesn't let me respond), OR email me: imagineabetterworld2020@gmail.comToday I'm honored to introduce you all to: Air Force Veteran, Former All-Source Intelligence Analyst, loving and devoted wife, UAP and HNI experiencer, humanitarian, non-globalist human rights efforts activist Michaela FacharA distinguished U.S. Air Force veteran, Michaela served as an All-Source Intelligence Analyst, including a deployment to the CENTCOM Air Operations Center in Qatar from October 2020 to May 2021. There, she processed mission reports, including anomalous UAP activity and instances of "blue on blue" information - revealing choke points in intelligence flow that she later went public with on to highlight systemic issues in information sharing. Her analytical sharpness - honed through high-stakes environments - extended to China-focused intelligence work, leveraging her Mandarin proficiency from time spent living in China earlier in life. Following her deployment, she interned with the Defense Intelligence Agency's Special Operations Division before diving into academia.At Georgetown University, Michaela earned her Master's in Foreign Service. Immersed in courses on globalization, international relations theory, realism, idealism, and social constructivism, she sought to dissect policy failures to prevent future missteps. Yet, in the year 2021, during this intellectually intense period, her path veered into the extraordinary. What began as accelerated insights and "downloads" escalated into a life-altering experience: contact with non-human intelligence (NHI).This encounter unfolded dramatically - marked by crumbling perceptions of space-time, urgent premonitions of nuclear risks, symbolic visions, and a surreal hospital sequence blending apparent government orchestration, psychological distress, and spiritual liberation. She encountered entities, received symbolic messages, and felt cosmic connections. Though initially attributed to potential mental health challenges, the experience ultimately liberated her spiritually, shifting her from a "normie" national security trajectory to one aligned with deeper truths.Today, Michaela walks her true path with fierce purpose. She envisions collaborating with trustworthy allies to liberate children from demonic influences and believes many courageous souls volunteered for this pivotal time to transition humanity away from globalist, satanic Illuminati control.

When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. The consequences can be immediate, violent, and life-altering. Few understand this reality better than Jennifer Clark Eskew, a retired ATF agent whose career began on the front lines as an undercover Virginia State Police trooper and later evolved into some of the most dangerous covert work in federal law enforcement. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. Eskew's story is one of grit, calculated risk, and survival, one that continues to resonate across law enforcement circles and on platforms like the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast's Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and beyond, where her experiences are discussed through interviews, her Podcast appearance, and content shared on their website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube and most major podcast platforms. A Bad Day Undercover Jennifer Eskew's undercover career started early, and it started hard. As a Virginia State Police trooper, she was selected for undercover work at a time when female officers were still rare, especially in deep-cover assignments. Supporting articles about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . One operation in particular would change everything. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. “It was just a really bad day,” Eskew has said of the moment when an undercover operation unraveled. “The gang I was dealing with started getting weird. The energy shifted.” Available for free on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and most major Podcast networks. Her backup was slow to respond. What Eskew didn't yet know was that the very gang members she had been investigating had mistaken someone else for a rival. They shot and killed the wrong man, shooting him five times. “That's when you realize how fast things can go sideways,” she later reflected. “You can plan everything perfectly, and it still falls apart.” The incident underscored a harsh truth of undercover policing: even when an officer survives, the psychological toll can be profound. Eventually, Eskew made the decision to leave the agency, not to step away from undercover work, but to continue it at a higher level. Look for The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast on social media like their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other social media platforms. From State Trooper to ATF Eskew transitioned to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF), where her undercover experience made her a natural fit for high-risk federal investigations. At ATF, she went deeper than ever before, posing not just as a criminal associate, but at times as a contract killer. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. “She was essentially an undercover hitman,” one colleague noted. “Or hitwoman. She had to convince the worst people you can imagine that she was one of them.” Much like famed ATF undercover agent Jay Dobyns, Eskew infiltrated violent criminal organizations. Her role required adopting a persona capable of inspiring fear and trust at the same time, an impossible balance where a single misstep could mean death. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other podcast platforms. “In those moments,” Eskew has said, “you're constantly asking yourself where the act ends and where Jennifer begins.” The Power and Risk of Female Undercover Officers Eskew's career highlights why female undercover officers are uniquely valuable in law enforcement. Often perceived as non-threatening, women can exploit dangerous misconceptions held by criminals. “I could go into any bar, and I wouldn't pose a threat,” Eskew explained. “I could get an enormous amount of information. They may look at me as a victim, but not as a threat, and that makes you incredibly valuable for UC work.” When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website , Apple Podcasts , Spotify and most major podcast platforms. Female officers have proven especially effective in infiltrating drug rings, organized crime syndicates, and prostitution-related operations. As more women enter law enforcement, agencies are increasingly recognizing these tactical advantages. But the work comes with risks that male officers rarely face. “Overcoming sexual advances is a constant concern,” Eskew noted. Across the United States, there have been documented cases where female undercover officers were sexually assaulted during operations. These realities demand specialized training, preparation, and institutional support. More information and the interview with her is available on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website also on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and other major platforms “There are things we deal with that men don't,” she said. “But there are also things we can do better.” Breaking Barriers in a Male-Dominated World Jennifer Clark Eskew always felt a spark, a calling to serve and protect. When she entered the all-male world of the Virginia State Police, she endured grueling academy challenges and relentless pressure to prove herself. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. The episode can be found on The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast website, on Apple podcasts, Spotify, Youtube and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram, and across most podcast platforms where listeners will find authentic law enforcement stories. Determined to succeed as one of the first female troopers in that State Police agency, she faced rookie mistakes, high-stakes decisions, and constant scrutiny. Then came her selection as the first full-time female undercover state police officer in Virginia. Immersed in a world of drug dealers and gun traffickers, Eskew thrived under pressure, even as the adrenaline and danger blurred the lines between her real identity and her undercover persona. “With her fire burning stronger than ever,” one admirer wrote, “she refused to be extinguished.” Becoming Fire Eskew's journey is chronicled in her Book, Becoming Fire: Chasing the Passion to Protect, Serve, and Love. Part memoir, part survival story, the book captures the emotional cost of undercover work alongside the humor, fear, and resilience that define it. “You'll laugh, you'll cry,” Eskew has said, “but you won't forget it.” Listeners can tune in on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show website, on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and most every major Podcast platform and follow updates on Facebook, Instagram, and other major News outlets. You can find the show on Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, X (formerly Twitter), and LinkedIn, as well as read companion articles and updates on Medium, Blogspot, YouTube, and even IMDB. Today, her story continues to reach new audiences through her appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, their Facebook, LinkedIn, Instagram, and video platforms like YouTube, offering a rare look into what happens when undercover police plans go bad, and what it takes to come back stronger. When Undercover Police Plans Go Bad: From Virginia State Police to the ATF. Jennifer Eskew's legacy is not just about danger or deception. It's about courage, adaptability, and a woman who walked into the darkest corners of criminal life and came out still burning.

Lovingly affirm:"I am immersed in the flame-The flame of time,The flame of love,The flame of life.The universal fire flows through me."*The Living God is appearing as you and every seeming thing. I feel Light(er) when you get this. And you're getting this. I Love you, nik"Everything exposed to the light itself becomes light" (Ephesians 5:13). In prayer, we merely keep returning the divine gaze and we become its reflection, almost in spite of ourselves (2 Corinthians 3:18). The word prayer has often been trivialized by making it into a way of getting what we want. But I use prayer as the umbrella word for any interior journeys or practices that allow us to experience faith, hope, and love within ourselves. It is not a technique for getting things, a pious exercise that somehow makes God happy, or a requirement for entry into heaven. It is much more like practicing heaven now.+Adapted from The Naked Now: Learning to Seeas the Mystics See, pp. 22-23."Live for a few days in the meditation,"I am immersed in the flame-The flame of time, The flame of love, The flame of life.The universal fire flows through me."Step into that fire. wholeheartedly,Starting with the big toe,Then, surrendering everywhere.Only the not-self,Which doesn't exist anyway,Burns away.Attend to this continually And awaken into tranquility.Your essence is renewed in the flame, For it is flame and knows itself as flame Since the first heartbeat of creation.Imagine the entire world consumed by flame.Stay steady, do not waver,As fire transmutes form into light.The soul reveals itself."To itself as Radiance.- the Radiance Sutras
