Teaching by Josh ClarkWeek 5: Inheriting the Promise (Ch 13-19)Opening Activity: What are specific ways you have seen God's faithfulness?1. Outline of Chapters 13-1913:1-7 The Remaining Land (to be conquered)13:8-33 Moses's Allotment to the 2 1/2 tribes  13:8-14 Eastern tribes' boundaries  13:15-23 Reuben  13:24-28 Gad  13:29-31 1/2 Tribe of Manasseh14:1-5 Explanation of Allotment for 9 1/2 tribes14:6-15:63 Judah's Allotment  14:6-15 Caleb's Inheritance  15:1-12 Judah's Boundaries  15:13-19 Caleb, Achsah, & Othniel  15:20-63 Judah's Cities16:1-17:18 Allotment of the Tribes of Joseph18:1-19:51 Allotment of the Remaining Tribes  18:1-10 Introduction - Joshua Sends Surveyors  18:11-28 Benjamin's Allotment  19:1-9 Simeon's Allotment  19:10-16 Zebulun's Allotment  19:17-23 Issachar's Allotment  19:24-31 Asher's Allotment  19:32-39 Naphtali's Allotment  19:40-48 Dan's Allotment  19:49-51 Joshua's Allotment2. The Process of Allotment (14:1-5)- V 1 This is a joint effort between Joshua, Eleazar the priest, and the heads of the tribes- V 2 They cast lots to discern who received what allotment of land- V 2b, 5 The land was allotted as the Lord commanded (Num 26:52-56)3. Caleb's Inheritance (14:6-15; 15:13-19)14:6-15- V 7 Caleb was 40 when he went to spy out the land and when he received the promise- V 8 "made the heart of the people melt" compared to "wholly followed the Lord my God"- V 9 The promise made to Caleb (Num 14:24, 30; 32:12; Deut 1:34-36)- V 10 Caleb is 85 years old when he receives the fulfillment of the promise  - 5 times throughout the passage Caleb refers to what the source of his faith is: God's promise to him (14:6, 10a, 10b, 12a, 12b)15:13-19 Three Examples of Faith- Caleb - drives out the sons of Anak- Othniel - drives out the inhabitants of Debir- Achsah - makes a bold request for more in faith4. The Daughters of Zelophehad (17:3-6)- Num 27:1-11; 36:1-12- Features of their faith:  - Request is made before they have entered the land  - Request was untraditional- The problem: if Zelophehad's daughters marry men from another tribe, the land they inherited will be transferred to their husbands' tribes, removing it from the inheritance of their father's tribe.5. Discontentment in the Tribes of Joseph (17:14-18)- Deut 20:1- The problem is not that God has not provided an adequate amount of space, but that the tribes of Joseph don't believe God is adequate to lead them to victory- God's victories yesterday put today's challenges in perspective6. Shiloh (18:1; 19:51)- This moment reveals a couple of things:  - The divine will was made known to Joshua, Eleazar, and the tribal leaders during the allotment  - With the tabernacle erected at Shiloh, the wilderness period was over and they were making their home in the land  - God dwelled in the midst of his people7. Christ Connection- Just as Joshua, Caleb, Othniel, Achsah, and the daughters of Zelophehad trusted God's promise and received their inheritance, we too receive an inheritance by faith.- Like the inheritance of Zelophehad's daughters, which could not be taken away through human schemes or legal maneuvering, our inheritance cannot be stolen, revoked, or diminished.- 1 Peter 1:3-5- The God who promised the inheritance is the God who preserves his people until they possess it.

In Episode 2 of Inheriting Saturn, Jamil Hasan explores the idea of stewardship through four founders building on Solana: Mitchell Gildenberg, Joanna Zeng, Chris Chung, and Michael Repetny.Rather than focusing on technology or market cycles, this episode asks what it means to inherit a system you didn't create—and the responsibility that comes with improving it for those who follow.Part of the ongoing Inheriting Saturn series, where founder interviews become a broader conversation about ownership, stewardship, and the systems that outlive us.

Over the next two decades, an estimated $124 trillion is expected to pass from one generation to the next. For many people, receiving an inheritance can feel overwhelming. The first challenge usually is not deciding how to invest the money. It is knowing what to do next.In this episode of A Wiser Retirement® Podcast, we discuss the first steps to take after receiving an inheritance, the common mistakes to avoid, and why it is important to pause before making major financial decisions. An inheritance often comes during a difficult season of grief, family responsibility, and emotional decision-making, which makes having a clear plan even more important.Related Podcast Episodes: Ep 283.

My guest today came to philanthropy through the lab bench, not the development office. ⁠Melissa Stevens⁠ trained as a biochemist, and for nearly two decades at the ⁠Milken Institute⁠ she has put a scientist's question to an entire field: what does the evidence actually tell us about where a dollar of high-risk capital does the most good?As Executive Vice President for Strategic Philanthropy, she helps families and foundations give serious money away, and give it away well. And she is watching history arrive in real time. Eighty-four trillion dollars is changing hands, the largest transfer of wealth ever, and the generation receiving it has no intention of inheriting the old model of giving.We get into why big philanthropic dollars stall, and it is rarely for lack of money; the wealth conversation families keep dodging; the $47 trillion women are set to inherit by 2048; and the one belief about this field Melissa has thrown out for good.

Today we begin the Inheriting Saturn Series.This series asks a simple but profound question:When does a system stop belonging to its creator?Using examples from recovery, cryptocurrency, business, and institutional leadership, we explore the people who demonstrated that great systems don't endure because of founders alone—they endure because someone chooses to steward them.In this episode, we examine the first four Residents of Jupiter:• Bill Wilson• Charlie Lee• David Schwartz• Hank GreenbergDifferent industries. Different lives. One shared lesson:Stewardship is what outlives the founder.

What would you actually do with a life-changing inheritance?

Everyone evaluating a business purchase today fixates on the same thing. Can this survive AI? Wrong lens. Wrong era. Wrong way to size up a deal. Tony Xu ran product and engineering at Flippa for five years before taking over as CEO. He's sat behind the scenes of thousands of transactions, tracked which categories exploded and which quietly faded, and seen firsthand what happens once AI actually touches a working business. And he'll say something most of the doom content circulating right now won't. AI isn't hunting your business down. It's clearing out the grunt work inside it. Photo editing. Listing copy. Animation that used to demand a full production team. Rough drafts of ad creative. Tasks that used to consume a founder's entire week now take minutes. Treating that as a threat misses what it really is. A head start. But here's the part almost nobody admits out loud. Nothing essential has changed. Who you reach. What people remember about your brand. Whether your customers stick around. Claude can write your listing copy. It can't earn you a decade-long relationship that gets your product onto a shelf. It's not handling your cash flow. It's not securing your credit line. It's not the reason someone buys from you twice. The businesses pulling ahead right now aren't the ones hiding from AI. They're run by people who know precisely where its usefulness ends and the real value begins. In this episode, Jaryd talks with Tony about what's really moving inside Flippa's marketplace. Why $250K to $5M has become the sweet spot for the sharpest buyers. How specialist operators are walking into neglected businesses and multiplying category growth in a matter of months. The difference between a roll-up play and a specialist play. And why chasing "AI-proof" is precisely the wrong instinct to bring into diligence. They also break down the two warning signs that should end a deal immediately. How a buyer's own comfort with AI can cut a year-long ramp-up down to half that. And why the businesses that seem the most behind the curve might actually be the cheapest assets on the whole platform. The buyers nervous about AI aren't wrong to be paying attention. They're just tracking the wrong risk. Tony isn't.

In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Danny Friday, CEO and Founder of Sail, joins Theodora Lau to unpack why the "boring" corners of fintech — HSA and FSA accounts — are exactly where the next wave of meaningful innovation is hiding. Danny shares the origin story behind Sail: a claim over a Spanish-language dental receipt that exposed a deeper challenge about regulated industries: most of their software isn't broken by accident, it's broken by indifference to user experience. They dig into why no one had built itemized, embedded HSA/FSA infrastructure before now, what changed technically to make it possible, and why Danny insists AI should never make the hard calls. The conversation closes on a bigger bet: that within three to five years, every digital banking app will help people reimburse tax-advantaged expenses, and what that means for the industry. 

Chat with Subhi: https://calendly.com/letscombinate/let-s-combinate-intro-sessionFinished medical devices can create a lot of surprises when they are added to combination product kits.A needle, vial adapter, filter, or transfer device may already be sterile, cleared, qualified, and sold at massive scale.But already on the market does not automatically mean ready for your combination product.In this episode, I talk through the challenges of selecting finished medical devices for combination product kits and the three lifecycle moments that usually determine whether qualification goes smoothly or turns into a late-stage problem.We cover:* Why “already approved” does not mean combination-product ready* Why you inherit the supplier's design, QMS, packaging, validation, change control, and outsourcing decisions* What to think about before supplier selection* How to set expectations during supplier selection* Why structured qualification matters* How PPAP concepts like process flow, PFMEA, control plans, inspections, sampling, and validation evidence can helpThe main point: A commercially available device may be qualified for someone else's intended use. Your job is to determine whether it is qualified for yours.Chapters:00:00 Device Selection Stakes02:05 Common Supplier Myths03:54 Inheriting the Device QMS04:53 Three Crucial Moments05:51 Before Selection: Intended Use07:21 Packaging, Markets, and Risk Flags08:55 During Selection: Set Expectations10:33 Qualification: Use a Structured PPAP Approach14:12 Wrap Up and Next StepsSubhi Saadeh is the Founder and Principal at Let's Combinate, where he helps teams develop and control drug-device combination products by aligning quality systems, development, supplier quality, and regulatory expectations across drug and device domains.

What does it mean to help young people carry burdens they didn't create? In this episode, Jennifer chats with Newbery Medal-winning author Tae Keller about her latest novel, When Tomorrow Burns. Together, they explore climate anxiety, online radicalization, toxic masculinity, and the pressure many young people feel to somehow fix the challenges they have inherited. Most importantly, they discuss why hope requires us to reject the idea that any one generation must carry these burdens alone and how stories can help readers imagine a more connected future.

Show Notes In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, host Beth Dodson sits down with Craig Sheets, founder of Crestville Accounting, to unpack one of the most misunderstood parts of homeownership: taxes. Craig brings nearly 25 years of senior-level accounting experience and helps individuals and business owners not only stay compliant, but also make smarter financial decisions throughout the year. Together, Beth and Craig discuss how homeowners can better understand deductions, tax planning, rental property rules, renovation records, mortgage interest, inherited homes, and the importance of working with a knowledgeable CPA. This conversation covers practical tax considerations for both primary residences and rental properties, including the difference between repairs and capital improvements, how renovations can affect your cost basis, what rental property owners should know about depreciation, and why keeping detailed records can make a major difference when it is time to file taxes or sell a home. Topics covered include: Homeowner tax myths, Schedule A deductions, sales tax deductions, mortgage interest, real estate taxes, rental property deductions, cost segregation, depreciation, repairs versus renovations, capital improvements, tax basis, inherited homes, revocable and irrevocable trusts, energy-efficiency tax credits, and why planning with your CPA matters. Important note: This episode is for educational purposes only. Tax laws and individual situations vary, so homeowners should consult their own CPA, accountant, or financial advisor before making tax decisions.   Episode Summary Your home is often your largest financial asset, but many homeowners do not fully understand how it connects to their tax strategy. In this episode, Beth Dodson talks with CPA Craig Sheets about the deductions, credits, planning opportunities, and recordkeeping habits homeowners should know. Craig explains why tax planning should happen year-round, not just during filing season. He discusses how homeowners may be able to deduct certain taxes, mortgage interest, sales tax on qualifying renovations, and energy-efficient upgrades. He also breaks down the difference between a repair and a renovation, explaining why that distinction matters for tax purposes. For rental property owners, Craig goes deeper into depreciation, cost segregation, active versus passive management, possible travel and business-related deductions, and the importance of understanding how a property is owned. Beth and Craig also explore how renovations can affect a home's tax basis and why detailed project records can help homeowners reduce potential capital gains later. The episode closes with practical advice: keep receipts, track home improvements, document energy-efficient upgrades, communicate with your CPA before major projects, and treat your home like the financial asset it is.   Key Takeaways Homeowners may miss deductions simply because they do not know what to track. Repairs and renovations are treated differently for tax purposes. Rental property ownership comes with additional rules, deductions, and planning opportunities. Cost segregation may help rental property owners accelerate depreciation. Home improvements can increase your tax basis, which may matter when you sell. Mortgage interest can be part of an itemized deduction strategy. Energy-efficient upgrades may qualify for tax credits, which can be more powerful than deductions. Inherited homes and trusts can create tax consequences that should be planned carefully. Good recordkeeping can save homeowners money. The best tax strategy usually begins before the project, purchase, sale, or filing deadline.

An inheritance is special; it demonstrates the love one has for another by bequeathing things of value, whether monetary or sentimental. The New Testament is filled with language concerning inheritances, with “inheriting the kingdom” holding a prominent place in the discussion. The means by which this inheritance is given and obtained are of utmost importance and will be the topic of this sermon. This study will focus not only on what has been done to provide this inheritance, but also on the expectations placed upon its recipients.A sermon given by Greg Chandler on May 17, 2026.

While most of us spend our working lives worrying about running out of money in retirement, Many retirees actually die with far more money than they anticipated—often missing out on the experiences, generosity, and freedom that their hard-earned savings could have provided. In this episode, I discuss why so many family stewards struggle to enjoy their wealth, and offer practical steps to find balance, conquer financial fears, and ensure you fully live the retirement you planned for. Outline of This Episode[04:03] Why retirees struggle to spend[08:02] Encouraging retirees to spend[09:53] Inheriting money later in life[16:48] Enjoying life during retirement[17:54] Avoiding a life half-livedWhy Don't Retirees Spend?There are several reasons behind this:1. Habitual Saver SyndromeDecades of saving, budgeting, and controlled spending form a deeply ingrained mindset. The wealth behaviors that enabled financial abundance are difficult to turn off suddenly at retirement. The decision to start drawing down your assets can even feel like an identity crisis: Spending then can feel like a failure, after years of associating self-worth with accumulation.2. Fear of the UnknownEven with a robust nest egg, fear is powerful: fear of running out, fear of the next market crash, fear of inflation or healthcare expenses. This anxiety may cause retirees to under-spend, even when the math says they are safe.3. Identity and Psychological AttachmentFor many, growing their savings has become part of their identity. Watching account balances grow is emotionally satisfying; drawing them down is not. Even after retirement, some people feel pressure to preserve and accumulate, rather than to enjoy their wealth—leading to decades with little change in their net worth.The Cost of WaitingResearch shows that many retirees retain nearly 80% of their nest egg even 20 years into retirement. At the same time, spending naturally declines as we age due to reduced energy, declining health, and fewer active experiences. The risk is missing out on the vital “go-go years”—the healthiest, most mobile phase of retirement—only to find that it's too late to use those savings for the adventures and family moments we dreamed about.Regrets and Lessons LearnedAfter years of working with retirees, I consistently hear the most common regrets of wishing they'd retired sooner, traveled more, spent more time with family, or helped children and grandchildren earlier. Rarely does anyone say, “I wish I died with more money in my account.”Make sure you enjoy what you've built by defining the purpose of your money and clarifying what your savings are for—security, freedom, experiences, a legacy, or charitable impact. You also need to separate fear from reality, using financial planning tools, like Income Lab, can give you clarity and permission to spend by showing what's truly sustainable. Consider starting a memory budget, instead of only budgeting for bills, earmark resources for family trips, special experiences, and gifts while you are alive.The real goal isn't reckless spending—it's alignment. Let your money serve your life, not the other way around. The greatest retirement tragedy isn't running out of money, but failing to live the life your savings could have enabled. Plan wisely—then give yourself permission to spend, to give, and to make memories. That's how you avoid the retirement trap nobody is talking about.Resources MentionedIncome LabConnect With Scott WellensSchedule a discovery call with ScottSend a message to ScottVisit Fortress Planning GroupConnect with Scott on LinkedInFollow Scott on TwitterFortress Planning Group on FacebookSubscribe to Best In WealthAudio Production and Show Notes byPODCAST FAST TRACKhttps://www.podcastfasttrack.com

Every IT leader has a “day one” story. The moment they opened the server closet, logged into the admin console, or reviewed the vendor contracts and realized the job they were hired for isn't the job they actually have.In this episode of The Catalyst, we follow Chris Schopf, an IT operations team lead who walked into a new job to find twelve-year-old servers, two unfinished infrastructure projects, and a team that had been poached by the outgoing manager. Then we hear from Leon Adato, a 37-year IT veteran who's made a career of walking into other people's messes, and Ned Bellavance, a former consultant who warns that not every mess is actually a mess. Some of it is “purposeful chaos” you just don't understand yet.What you'll learn:How to tell the difference between a real disaster and “purposeful chaos” with reasons you don't understand yetWhy Chris convinced his CEO to stop all projects for two weeks — and how it saved the teamThe three-word business framework that gets IT leaders budget, staff, and permission to fix the mess: revenue, cost, riskWhy learning to “speak business” doesn't make you less technical — it makes you bilingualFeaturing:Chris Schopf — IT Security Architect Leon Adato — Principal Technical Marketing Engineer, CriblNed Bellavance — Founder, Ned in the Cloud | Podcast Host From Softchoice, a World Wide Technology company — this is The Catalyst.The Catalyst by Softchoice is the podcast dedicated to exploring the intersection of humans and technology. 

What makes great service? It's one of those things we instantly recognise when we experience it, but struggle to define. And while organisations spend huge amounts of time trying to design seamless customer experiences, the reality is that service doesn't happen in strategy documents or training manuals. It happens in real time, between real people, in messy and unpredictable situations where eventually the playbook runs out. Episode OverviewIn this episode, Christian is joined by Will Tarrant, CEO of Freeman Group, who focus on helping organisations close the gap between what they promise customers and what actually gets delivered in reality. Drawing on decades of experience across hospitality, aviation, healthcare and destinations, Will explains why compliance-based training can sometimes increase hidden risk, why empowerment without judgment can quickly become chaos, and why the real differentiator in service is rarely the process itself — it's the human response when something unexpected happens. Along the way, the conversation explores:Why “making people feel a certain way” is the real job in hospitalityThe hidden risks created by over-reliance on scripts and SOPsWhy organisations often confuse solving problems with compensating customersThe psychology of customer perception and expectationHow hotels, airports and even destinations manage emotional experiencesWhy breakfast might be the best indicator of a hotel's qualityThe tension between automation and human interactionWhy good service recovery is about judgment, not generosityAs Will puts it: “Compliance-based training reduces visible risk, but it increases hidden risk.” Although framed around hospitality and customer service, this episode is really about something much broader: how humans make decisions when the script no longer applies.Guest Profile - Will TarrantWill Tarrant is the CEO of Freeman Group, a consultancy that helps organisations design and deliver service cultures that align operational reality with brand promise.

There's a question I hear more than almost any other from business owners: “How should I compensate my salesperson?” It sounds simple. It isn't. Get it wrong early and you create a situation that's hard to fix. You either end up with a salesperson negotiating from a position you can't push back on, or a top performer reconsidering their role after a change to commission. Both are expensive. Both are avoidable.   In this latest episode of Sales is NOT a Dirty Word, I break down how to build a compensation structure that works for you and your salesperson, without guesswork, frustration, or unintended leverage. Here's what I cover: The Sales Diva Problem and how to avoid it The base + incentive structure that actually drives performance.  The three tiers every comp plan needs.  Why monthly and quarterly bonuses outperform annual ones.  The most expensive mistake in sales leadership   A strong compensation plan should be a win/win. If it doesn't, it will show up in your results.   If you're not sure how to structure compensation, start with your margins, identify what you need off your plate, and build from there. And if you want support doing exactly that, including building a repeatable and predictable sales process your salesperson can actually run, book a Sales Level Up Call with me:

Inheriting a home can bring more questions than answers, especially when taxes enter the conversation. Many families hesitate to sell because they're worried about a massive tax bill… but that fear is often misunderstood. Today, we take a closer look at how inherited home taxes work and how one well-intentioned decision could cost you far more than expected. We also talk about the real challenges families face, because it's not always about the numbers. Here's some of what we discuss in this episode:

We wrestle with miracles, unanswered prayers, and the kind of perseverance that forges real faith when life hurts. • Inheriting a legacy of prayer across generations • Refusing the idea that hardship always means secret sin or weak faith • Paul's thorn and God's answer that grace is sufficient • Redefining faith as loyal allegiance that holds under pressure • Job as a test of endurance and integrity with our lips • Faith forged like gold through trials and refining • Church history examples of perseverance under persecution and illness • Miscarriage, grief, and the shock of gratitude in suffering • Perseverance as a group project and a warning against suffering in silence • Expectation as hope that waits and acts differently • Rejecting entitlement that assumes God is withholding good • tThe Holy Spirit interceding when we do not know how to pray • “It Is Well With My Soul” as a picture of steady trust

Philip Teresi talks inheriting things we might not like or know what to do with. Callers chime in with stories of their experiences. In‑N‑Out’s owner says the popular burger chain has no plans to add mobile ordering or curbside pickup, despite industry trends. She argues the move would hurt food quality and customer experience, reinforcing the company’s commitment to simplicity over speed. A North Yorkshire gardener inherited a 500-piece vintage lawnmower collection spanning nine sheds and his dad’s conservatory in Filey. The rare lineup includes an 1861 Shanks mower (valued at £5,000), a unique 1920s Shanks roller triple model, and other antique pieces from the 19th century. He’s “spoiled for choice” each spring and aims to preserve—and even expand—this unexpected slice of Britain’s mowing heritage.

Inheriting a familial military legacy, Rachel joined the CIA after working a career in male-dominated spaces such as startups and as a military contractor. Discussing her experiences as a military family member, to living through a war in service, she shares a rare perspective on military life, culture, and survivorship. Rachel Cuda made history as the first-ever CIA officer to approach Congress about the Agency's treatment of sexual assault victims, advocating for systemic change. Leading generations of other survivors, she helped share their stories and was the first of only two CIA officers selected to testify before Congress under oath in closed-door hearings. In just eleven months, her efforts culminated in landmark legislation being passed as part of the 2024 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that mandated reforms such as requiring the CIA establish a dedicated Sexual Harassment/Assault Response and Prevention office, improving reporting mechanisms, enhancing victim support, and ensuring independent investigations to address sexual misconduct more effectively. Previously anonymous to the public, Rachel came forward in Fall 2024, sharing her name and story with the world. Host: Katie Koestner Editor: Evan Mader Producers: Catrina Aglubat and Emily Wang

As the daughter of the renowned intellectual Edward Said, Najla Said discusses the unique pressures of navigating her family's legacy while forging her own creative voice in the shadow of his immense influence. The conversation explores her journey from attempting to assimilate into American culture as a youth to confronting her heritage during a pivotal trip to Palestine and Lebanon. Said details her entry into professional theater and the development of her acclaimed one-woman show, Palestine, which grew from an intimate journal entry. She also offers a personal perspective on her father's moral backbone, the impact of recent global events on her sense of safety in New York, and the evolution of her activism through new collaborative theater projects. The discussion touches on the enduring intimacy of her memoir, Looking for Palestine, and how sharing her inner monologue has helped her find a community based on genuine solidarity.    0:00 Introduction 1:37 Childhood Stories and Typewritten Plays  2:54 Growing Up in the Shadow of Intellectual Giants  7:23 The Weight of Family Legacy  10:00 Journaling and the Discovery of a Personal Voice  12:47 Acting, Identity, and Hollywood Reality Checks  20:36 Defining "Arab" through Theater  22:10 Navigating Identity Shifts: Lebanon, Palestine, and New York  33:32 Misunderstandings and the Moral Backbone of Edward Said  36:58 Current Work: Dialogue in a Time of Hostility  44:30 Erasing Legacy: Columbia University and Global Activism  47:40 Politics and Perception  52:14 Looking for Palestine: The Vulnerability of Memoir  56:56 Shedding the Need to Be Liked  58:07 Solidarity as the Greatest Expression of Love  Najla Said is a Palestinian-Lebanese-American actress, playwright, author, and activist, recognized for her memoir Looking for Palestine: Growing Up Confused in an Arab-American Family (2013), which chronicles her struggles with cultural identity amid a privileged New York City upbringing as the daughter of prominent Palestinian intellectual Edward W. Said and his Lebanese-born wife Mariam Cortas Said. Said initially distanced herself from her Arab heritage, assimilating into American and Jewish social circles while attending elite institutions like Dalton School and Princeton University, before a transformative trip to the Middle East prompted her to embrace Palestinian roots more fully. Said's career spans theater and performance, including her solo show Palestine, which she has presented at over 25 high schools, colleges, and universities worldwide since its off-Broadway debut, addressing themes of diaspora, stereotyping, and Arab-American experiences. She has worked with New York institutions such as New York Theatre Workshop, The Public Theater, and Second Stage, and maintains affiliations like a "Usual Suspect" at NYTW. As an activist, Said advocates for Palestinian self-determination, drawing on her father's legacy of critiquing Western orientalism, though her public engagements, including support for campus protests, reflect a personal evolution from identity confusion to vocal solidarity with causes tied to her heritage.  Connect with Najla Said

The dominant structural mechanism highlighted is the industry-wide shift toward liability transfer and governance gaps in AI procurement, deployment, and incident response. According to Dave Sobel, both vendors and organizations are accelerating AI adoption without corresponding investments in oversight, training, or clear accountability structures. This is reflected across multiple sectors, from software vendors such as Grammarly, Eightfold.ai, Cohesity, and Rubrik, to business leaders and policymakers, where risk is systematically deferred downstream rather than managed at the point of adoption. The most consequential evidence is the quantitative disconnect between stated AI priorities and functional oversight. Research cited by Dave Sobel from Economist Impact and HR Dive found that while 38% of organizations budget for AI and 86% of executives rate AI as essential, only 16% offer internal training and over half of department-level AI initiatives lack formal oversight (Ernst & Young). Additionally, 88% of AI vendors limit their liability, and only 17% align with regulatory compliance, per cited surveys, leaving substantial legal and operational risk for end users and service providers. Supporting this trend, Dave Sobel points to Grammarly's opt-out identity usage in new features and a class action lawsuit against Eightfold.ai regarding AI-driven employment decisions. Vendors such as Cohesity, Rubrik, ServiceNow, and Datadog are responding by building tools focused on remediation and recovery from AI-driven incidents, underscoring a shift from preventive governance to reactive containment. Policy moves—such as expanded operational cyber roles for the private sector—further offload accountability without addressing contractual and insurance exposure. For MSPs and technology leaders, these developments create practical risks: unclear service scope around AI tool usage in contracts, increased exposure to billable incidents and legal action, and rising labor costs for incident recovery. Service providers must audit agreements for AI-specific language, distinguish AI-related incidents from standard SLAs, and treat AI governance as a managed risk service. The pressure will increasingly fall on MSPs to account for training gaps, audit trails, compliance attestations, and recovery procedures—not simply the technology itself.

How does the entire Bible fit together? In this episode of inContext, Michael Easley sits down with New Testament scholar Alan Thompson, author of A Basic Guide to Biblical Theology, to explore how Scripture unfolds as one unified story. They unpack the difference between exegesis, biblical theology, and systematic theology—and explain why context is king when reading the Bible. You'll learn how the major covenants (Abrahamic, Mosaic, Davidic, and New) progressively reveal God's redemptive plan, how Jesus fulfills those promises, and what He meant when He said the Kingdom of God was “at hand.” They also explore the “now and not yet” tension in the New Testament, the meaning of inheriting the Kingdom, the Exodus as a pattern of redemption, temple imagery throughout Scripture, and the breathtaking vision of the holy city in Revelation 21. If you want to grow deeper in your understanding of Scripture—and think theologically about your faith—this conversation will strengthen your confidence in God's Word.Subscribe for more in-depth biblical conversations.

Then I think about sentient beings who want happiness, but experience suffering. I generate compassion for them, determined to help them as much as I can to eliminate their negative emotions.” –The Dalai LamaAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries.“‘Be Here Now' is not only Ram Dass's precept of just be in the present, it's saying, ‘Be here now, and you're everywhere. Be here now, and you're in wisdom.' If you're not here now, you're veering away from wisdom.” — David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
