When two faith-based credit unions unite, it's not just about growing bigger—it's about multiplying Kingdom impact. We're talking about something that's a lot more than just a merger— it's about expanding services and supporting ministries worldwide. Aaron Caid joins us today to talk about the exciting merger of Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU) and AdelFi Credit Union.Aaron Caid is the Chief Marketing Officer at Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), an underwriter of Faith & Finance. A New Season for Christian Community Credit UnionWhen it comes to money, the conversation always goes deeper than numbers. For Christian Community Credit Union (CCCU), finances are a matter of faith, stewardship, and Kingdom impact. That's why the announcement of a merger between CCCU and AdelFi marks such a significant and exciting new chapter.This merger wasn't a quick decision. It was the culmination of nearly two years of prayer, discernment, and thoughtful consideration by both boards. Both organizations share a Christ-centered mission, with AdelFi carrying a 60-year history of faith-aligned banking and a strong commitment to supporting Christian ministries. The merger is designed to create a stronger credit union, expand reach, and multiply Kingdom impact.What Members Can ExpectFor CCCU and AdelFi members, the transition will be seamless. Accounts and services will remain uninterrupted. At the same time, members can look forward to enhanced digital tools, stronger security, expanded member support, and greater lending capacity. That means more opportunities to serve individuals, churches, ministries, and faith-based businesses with tailored financial solutions.The heart of this merger is ministry. By combining resources, CCCU will be able to give more generously to global partners such as Samaritan's Purse, the Tim Tebow Foundation, and Mission Aviation Fellowship. Together, the new institution will support churches, mission-sending agencies, and faith-based organizations with greater financial strength. At the end of the day, it's not just banking, it's stewarding resources for eternal impact.With the merger complete, CCCU will become the largest Christian banking institution in the United States—holding more than $1.5 billion in assets. Beyond size, the partnership brings specialized expertise. AdelFi's strength in serving Christian-owned businesses complements CCCU's established ministry partnerships, while AdelFi's connection to over 4,000 missionaries deepens the reach to those serving around the world.The Path AheadThe merger is officially effective December 1, and members don't need to take any action. Services will continue seamlessly, with every account insured up to $250,000. CCCU is committed to keeping members updated through email and the merger hubs on their websites.This partnership represents more than financial growth—it's about multiplying impact for the Kingdom. Together, CCCU and AdelFi are equipping God's people and ministries with financial tools that advance the Gospel and care for others in Jesus' name.To learn more about this new chapter in Christian banking, visit FaithFi.com/Banking.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I have approximately $630,000 in savings and would like guidance on how to invest it, pay off around $20,000 in debt, and purchase a home within the next year.

In considering God's gift of marriage, it's helpful to start at the beginning. Moses records God's institution of marriage in Genesis 2. Because it was not good for the man to be alone, God created the woman to be the helper he needed. Adam's joy at the gift of Eve is the same joy God gives to husbands and wives today as they take delight in each other, help each other, and receive the gift of children through their union. God's institution of marriage shows this holy estate to be anything but a burden— it is a precious gift. Rev. Nate Hill, pastor at St. Michael's Lutheran Church in Winchester, TX, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Genesis 2:18-25. To learn more about St. Michael's Lutheran, visit stmichaelswinchester.org. “God's Gift of Marriage” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies the Song of Solomon and other key texts from the Bible concerning marriage. Although the world is terribly confused concerning what marriage is, God's Word reveals how good a gift marriage truly is and points us to the relationship between Christ, the Bridegroom, and His Church, the Bride. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

What does ministry look like beyond the walls of traditional institutions? In this episode, Loren Richmond Jr. talks with Father Cathie Caimano—Episcopal priest, writer, coach, and founder of Free Range Priest. For nearly a decade, Caimano has been helping churches and leaders reimagine ministry for the 21st century, blending ancient practices with agile, entrepreneurial models. Caimano shares her own journey from traditional parish priest to “free range” ministry, reflecting on what she learned serving small churches, working alongside Bishop Michael Curry, and navigating the disruption of the COVID era. She makes a bold case for new containers of church—lean, sustainable, and faithful—while still deeply rooted in the gospel. Caimano insists that the church is not dying—the institution is. And in that collapse lies the opportunity to reimagine ministry with freedom, joy, and faithfulness. Key points from the conversation: How spiritual practices can function like a “gym for your soul” Why institutions resist technology and why that must change The difference between innovation within old systems and creating new ones Why small congregations can thrive by embracing sustainability, not size How the church can learn from entrepreneurship, social enterprise, and start-up culture Cathie Caimano, ʻFr. Cathie', and is an Episcopal priest, ordained for 25 years. Since 2016, She's been a Free Range Priest - her own ministry/business with a mission to help reimagine ministry in the 21st century. She serves a small congregation in a 'cage free' way, and she writes, coaches, teaches and consults about practical ways of being and doing church in sustainable, faithful, joyful ways. She lives near Charlotte, NC with her wonderful husband and adorable Great Dane. When she's not thinking about God and church, you can find her taking photos of the sunrise, or out running somewhere!

Jetzt hat mit dem Bischöflichen Jugendamt Passau eine weitere große Institution des Bistums das sogenannte Institutionelle Schutzkonzept (kurz: ISK) veröffentlicht. Dieses Konzept ist ein Baustein der Prävention sexualisierter Gewalt des Bistums Passau.

As parents navigating work, life, and daily responsibilities, it's easy to focus on choosing the “right” educational path. But what if the real question is: What does my child truly need right now? In this episode, our host Ee Jay speaks with Galvin and Charmaine, parents of two, who share their journey of leaving full-time jobs to homeschool and start a business. They open up about the financial and lifestyle shifts and how involving their children in the process helped turn sacrifice into shared purpose. It's a gentle reminder that creating space for our children's well-being starts with how we care for ourselves and the choices we make as a family. Together, we explore how parenting is not just about making decisions—but about creating space for emotional and mental well-being, and reframing choices around what works best for each child in each season. --Sign up here to create an account with Focus on the Family Singapore to access a wide range of marriage and parenting resources designed to nurture and strengthen your family relationships.--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

What do you do when your institution no longer needs acres of land and buildings? You sell it and build a more agile, student-centered future. In this episode, Dustin chats with Dr. Beth Martin, President of Notre Dame de Namur University (NDNU), about the bold and forward-thinking decision to sell their historic campus and double down on serving adult learners. Beth shares what it takes to lead through transformation, why selling land can be a catalyst—not a collapse—and how other institutions might reimagine their own paths forward.Guest Name: Dr. Beth Martin - President of Notre Dame de Namur UniversityGuest Social: LinkedInGuest Bio: Beth Martin, Ph.D., is the 19th President of Notre Dame de Namur University, a role she has held since September 2021.

Michael Green reacts to the FOMC lowering rates by 25-basis-points and the projected rate cut path. “The Fed had to cut in response to the weaker economic data,” he argues, noting the Fed previously downgraded its growth outlook. One of the key worries, though, is the top-end consumer, which is accounting for a greater and greater portion of spending. While that means aggregate numbers aren't showing significant shifts, underneath consumer confidence and spending power is weakening for the majority. He also believes the Fed's independence has already been compromised and says it's hard to know if votes are by party affiliation or economic data.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.

Welcome to season 17! In this episode, we continue our tradition of reflecting on the mysteries of our lives based on the mysteries of the Rosary.

In our conversation, we model what this looks like and discuss how the virtues of each mystery of the Rosary align with the mysteries of our lives and the fruits God is cultivating. Join us today as we share the Joyful and Luminous mysteries of our lives. Heather's One Thing - The beauty of being an empty nester!

In a major blow to historically Black colleges and universities, the Trump administration has cut nearly $350 million in federal funding for Minority-Serving Institution programs, including those supporting Hispanic, Asian American, and Native American students. Education Secretary Linda McMahon said the programs discriminated by restricting eligibility based on race. The move has sparked concern across higher education, raising questions about access, equity, and the future of federal support for under-resourced institutions.

If the mere existence of laws resulted in a moral society, we'd be in great shape! Want safer cities? Just pass more legislation! Of course, we know that unfortunately this isn't the case because we can't legislate the sin out of human nature. However, the ultimate solution for immorality does exist and we'll learn what it is during this broadcast of The Bible Study Hour with Dr. James Boice.

Colin discusses the critical role of health and safety professionals in the workplace, emphasising the importance of influence over implementation. He highlights the challenges faced by these professionals, particularly when they lack a seat at the decision-making table, and stresses the need to build strong relationships with operational teams to effectively manage risks KEY TAKEAWAYS Health and safety professionals should prioritise influencing decision-makers rather than trying to manage health and safety directly. This involves building relationships and providing support to those who are responsible for managing risks. It's crucial for health and safety professionals to be involved at the senior management level to effectively influence decisions. They should present financial implications and risk mitigation costs to highlight the importance of health and safety measures. Rather than doing tasks for management, health and safety professionals should equip them with the tools and skills needed to make informed decisions. This includes facilitating discussions and providing guidance. BEST MOMENTS "If we as a health and safety professional try to take on the responsibility of managing health and safety in a workplace, then we're going to fail." "You should be working towards building the relationship... so that you have got an opportunity to influence their thinking." "Don't try to be the person that sorts and solves every problem. Try to be somebody that facilitates other people making better decisions."

Colin discusses the importance of tailoring health and safety approaches to the unique needs of each organisation, stressing that while standardised models, such as ISO 9001, can provide value, imposing them without considering the specific context of a business can lead to inefficiencies and frustration KEY TAKEAWAYS Start by asking leaders within the organisation what success looks like to them. Understanding their vision and goals is crucial for providing effective support and guidance. Simply imposing a standardised model, like ISO 9001, can lead to unnecessary bureaucracy and paperwork. Instead, focus on integrating existing processes with the standards to enhance effectiveness. While it's important to aim high, ensure that the goals set are achievable. Collaborate with the organisation to establish sensible targets that can be realistically met over time. BEST MOMENTS "If you just try and impose the structure of 9001 into a business... all you're really gonna do is stuff that organisation up with a load of paperwork." "Ask them, you know, what does success look like for them?" "It's about getting something that's really sensible, get an approach that people can look back in six months... and say, we've made a difference."

In the opening pages of my guest's book, she recounts a colleague's bumpy plane ride that provided the insight for the title of the book, Taming the Turbulence in Educational Leadership: “We are facing turmoil in education, and the job of good leaders is to 'tame the turbulence'...educators have been caught in this turbulence; it permeates our profession and we haven't been able to get above it. As a result, it is the role of leaders to help teachers see how even small, simple shifts can change a child's experience of school.”Rooted in real-world stories, Taming the Turbulence offers solidarity and actionable strategies to education leaders committed to centering the needs of all learners in increasingly polarized societies.And the author, Jennifer D. Klein, is an experienced educator and advocate for student-centered, experiential learning as a catalyst for positive social change.

Colin talks to special guest, Ron Gantt, about the complexities of social media and its impact on health and safety discussions. They explore the love-hate relationship many have with social media, emphasising the importance of using these platforms for positive connections and constructive conversations. The conversation also touches on the dangers of echo chambers created by algorithms, the need for humility in the health and safety profession, and the significance of humanising interactions KEY TAKEAWAYS Social media has a love-hate relationship; while it can be a source of negativity and misinformation, it also offers opportunities for connection and positive engagement. It's essential to find ways to use it constructively. Engaging in face-to-face conversations or video calls can deepen relationships and foster understanding, contrasting with the often dehumanising nature of online interactions. There is a tendency in discussions, especially in health and safety, to adopt a black-and-white mindset. Embracing nuance and recognising that multiple perspectives can coexist is crucial for effective problem-solving. The conversation around health and safety should extend beyond immediate physical dangers to include mental health and long-term health issues, such as respiratory diseases, emphasising the need for a holistic approach. BEST MOMENTS "I think it's important to remember what social media is. It's a business product, right? So it's designed not so that you can just go there and have fun and explore the world." "If we never hear bad news, man, we are in trouble because I would guarantee nobody here has it all figured out." "There's this tendency to be like, oh those other people, they're the evil ones... it's about who they are not about, you know, hey they just have a different perspective." "If our goal is to stop people from getting killed, we're going to not achieve that goal ever, because 100% of the people that we work with are going to die."

Dr. David Griffin, a Charleston, South Carolina native, is a nationally recognized leader, speaker, author, and fire service professional whose life was forever changed on June 18, 2007. As the driver of the first engine on scene at the devastating Sofa Super Store fire that claimed the lives of nine Charleston firefighters, David was thrust into a journey of trauma, transformation, and ultimately, purpose. Haunted by survivor's guilt, Griffin initially spiraled into destructive coping mechanisms including alcohol, painkillers, and professional mixed martial arts fighting. After a punishing bout with UFC veteran Houston “The Assassin” Alexander left him battered and soul-searching, he came to a powerful realization: the path he was on did not honor the legacy of the nine lives lost. That moment became the catalyst for his life's mission to lead change, challenge outdated systems, and promote healing and resilience among first responders and organizations worldwide. Today, Dr. Griffin holds a Doctorate of Education in Organizational Leadership and Development, a Master's Degree in Executive Fire Service Leadership, and a Bachelor of Science in Education from The Citadel, where he also played Division I baseball and later coached. He currently serves as the Assistant Chief for the Charleston Fire Department, having held every uniformed rank, and leads the department's Honor Guard and Mental Health Peer Support Team. He is a graduate of the National Fire Academy's Executive Fire Officer program and has completed executive education at Harvard, Yale, Cornell, and through the IAFC's Fire Service Executive Development Institute. He is a Certified Fire Officer IV, Chief Fire Officer (CFO), and Chief Training Officer (CTO), and is an active member of the IAFC and the Institution of Fire Engineers (MIFireE). Beyond his fire service career, Griffin's personal journey is one of grit and resilience. From overcoming doubts as a young athlete to becoming a state bodybuilding champion, professional MMA fighter, marathoner, and Ironman triathlete, he lives what he teaches. He was a rider in the 1,700-mile Brotherhood Ride from Florida to Ground Zero and continues to pursue fitness through boxing, surfing, Brazilian jiu-jitsu, and more. In 2013, David launched The Find Your Mission Tour, an international movement of leadership, mental health awareness, and cultural reform. Over the last 12 years, he has spoken to more than 1,300 organizations across 47 U.S. states and multiple countries, reaching over 550,000 people in five languages. His audiences include fire and police departments, military units, universities, private companies, and nonprofits. He is also a best-selling author with four published books: In Honor of The Charleston 9: A Study of Change Following Tragedy ACTION: 9 Missions for Personal and Professional Growth From PTSD to PTG: A Firefighter's (MY) Journey After a Multiple LODD Incident Tattoos and Trauma: The Healing Power of Tattoos for Emergency Responders Griffin is currently working on three new books: I'll Stand By You, Principled Leadership From The Road Less Traveled, and Handwritten Hope: Poetry and Prose to Cope. His wife, Melissa Griffin, is also an author, having written Inspiration from a Wife on a Mission Following Tragedy, which details the challenges of supporting a partner with PTSD. Dr. David Griffin is living proof that adversity can be transformed into impact. His message is clear: trauma does not have to define you your mission can.

Colin shares valuable insights aimed at helping health and safety organisations and consultants enhance their client relationships and service offerings. Drawing from nearly 20 years of experience in consultancy, Colin discusses the importance of understanding client needs, maintaining regular communication, and mapping out services to identify opportunities for growth KEY TAKEAWAYS Regularly check in with clients to understand their evolving needs and challenges. Building strong relationships and staying close to clients can help identify opportunities for additional support before they become problems. Create a comprehensive list of all services offered and assess which ones have been utilised by each client. This can reveal gaps in service delivery and highlight opportunities for further engagement. Ensure that clients are aware of all services available. Implement an onboarding process that includes ongoing communication about offerings, success stories, and regular updates to keep clients informed. Establish a system to track important assessments and services that may need to be renewed or updated. Being proactive allows you to remind clients of upcoming needs and position yourself as a reliable solution. BEST MOMENTS "You can work really hard to build strong relationships with clients... but just imagine one day, you walk into a meeting and you find out that they've brought somebody else in." "If you can do really good work for your existing clients, you're actually putting them in a better place." "Have you ever mapped out your services? If you don't know how many services you deliver, then there's no chance that your clients are going to know."

The Holy Post crew is suspicious of a new study that finds MAGA supporters score higher in authoritarianism, social dominance, and malevolent personality traits, while liberals score higher in compassion and empathy. Church planter, Brad Edwards, says many of us hold beliefs, language, and values that sabotage our ability to benefit from participation in a church. He talks to Kaitlyn about his new book, “The Reason for Church,” and why our anti-institutional instincts are self-defeating. Also this week, the Secretary of Defense reposted comments from his pastor that women shouldn't be allowed to vote. The Catholic Church says ICE detainees are being denied their religious rights.

In this episode, Dr. Gil Blander welcomes Dr. Haim Cohen to Longevity by Design to explore his revolutionary approach to understanding aging. Haim's team analyzed acetylation sites across 107 mammalian species, creating its most extensive comparative study. This computational approach revealed specific post-translational modifications that evolved exclusively in long-lived animals.The research identifies critical pathways where evolution engineered longevity solutions. These acetylation changes affect DNA repair, cell cycle regulation, and mitochondrial function. Unlike traditional aging research focusing on single pathways like mTOR or caloric restriction, Haim's unbiased screening simultaneously reveals multiple longevity targets. Evolution provided a natural laboratory for testing anti-aging modifications over millions of years.The findings offer exciting therapeutic possibilities for human longevity. Haim's team is now creating transgenic mice to test whether mimicking these evolutionary changes can extend lifespan in the lab. This research suggests humans could potentially "accelerate evolution" by implementing modifications that nature has already proven effective in whales, elephants, and other long-lived species.

« Dis-moi à quel jeu tu joues, je te dirai qui tu es », une série spéciale de RFI à la découverte des jeux populaires à travers le monde. Ces jeux qui, à travers les joueurs, parlent de la culture et de l'identité de chaque pays. Au Venezuela, les dominos sont davantage qu'un jeu qui se partage entre amis ou en famille. C'est un vrai sport national, avec son équipe, sa fédération, ses championnats. Si le jeu se conjugue sous plusieurs formes, seul ou en équipe notamment, la version favorite des Vénézuéliens, c'est à deux qu'elle se joue. Dans les villages, sur les places, lors des réunions de famille ou dans des hôtels huppés pour des tournois, les dominos s'adaptent à tous les styles et sont une véritable institution dans le pays. De notre correspondante à Caracas, Environ 70% des Vénézuéliens joueraient aux dominos. Dans chaque famille, il y a un jeu, et sur les places publiques, on trouve toujours quelques pratiquants invétérés, comme ici dans le quartier de Petare. Dans cette zone très populaire, tous les après-midis, ils sont quelques-uns à se retrouver pour s'affronter, par équipe de deux. Le but : que les deux joueurs aient posé tous leurs dominos avant leurs adversaires. Ici, on ne joue pas d'argent, on vient pour se détendre. L'ambiance est haute en couleur. Autour de la table, on s'exclame, on claque les pièces, on glisse quelques commentaires. « Les quatre joueurs doivent être conscients de tout ce qu'il se passe autour de la table. On appelle cela un système. C'est de la transmission d'information, pour ton partenaire et pour les joueurs de l'autre équipe, car en fonction de ce que tu fais, ils vont comprendre ton jeu. Il y a des gens qui disent que ce sont des indices, mais ce ne sont pas des indices, c'est de l'information », explique, enthousiaste, Angelo, qui fait partie de la Fédération vénézuélienne de dominos. Mais ces informations peuvent être considérées comme de la triche. À quelques kilomètres à peine, un tournoi exclusif a lieu dans un quartier huppé de la capitale. Et ici, autour de la table de jeu, le silence est de rigueur. Ignacio Salvatierra est l'organisateur : « Le temps mis à réfléchir, c'est la seule méthode autorisée pour informer aux dominos. En gros, si tu hésites longtemps ou pas avant ton coup. Les dominos corrects devraient se jouer de façon que toutes les pièces soient posées de la même manière. On ne devrait pas les claquer ni les faire glisser. » Les joueurs ont payé leur participation au tournoi, et les trois premiers remporteront plusieurs centaines de dollars. Le niveau socio-économique est bien plus élevé, mais la passion reste la même. Avant de commencer la compétition, deux joueuses nous donnent leurs trois règles d'or : « Lever, répéter et se rappeler. Alors, répéter, cela veut dire que si tu as un bon jeu, par exemple avec des 5, il faut que tu les joues, que tu les répètes, pour que la personne qui te suit soit obligée de passer. Lever, ça veut dire avoir un bon jeu, avoir de la chance. Enfin, tu dois te rappeler qui a joué quoi pour aider ton partenaire ou bien éviter une pièce. » Et ce sport semble avoir de beaux jours devant lui au Venezuela. La sélection nationale vient de rentrer du championnat américain avec une médaille d'or, une d'argent et une de bronze.

Daily Halacha Podcast - Daily Halacha By Rabbi Eli J. Mansour
The custom among Ashkenazim is to refrain from shaving and haircutting throughout the three-week period of Ben Ha'mesarim, from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz through Tisha B'Ab. Sepharadim, by contrast, observe this practice only during the week of Tisha B'Ab, from the Shabbat immediately preceding Tisha B'Ab until the 10 th of Ab. If a Sephardic boy is studying in an Ashkenazic yeshiva, where the majority of the students are refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, he is nevertheless allowed to shave and take a haircut, until the week of Tisha B'Ab. However, it is preferable that he avoid doing so in order not to stand out. Hacham Ovadia Yosef writes about one who is stringent in this regard, "Tabo Alav Beracha" – he is worthy of special blessing. If a Sephardic student in an Ashkenazic institution has been accustomed to acting stringently, refraining from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and now wishes to change his practice, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim (the annulment of vows). His acceptance of this practice constitutes a "vow," assuming he never explicitly said that he was taking on this practice "Beli Neder" – without making a formal vow. Thus, if he wishes to change his practice so he can shave or take a haircut during the Three Weeks (until the week of Tisha B'Ab), he should conduct Hatarat Nedarim in front of a Bet Din to have his commitment annulled. However, Hatarat Nedarim is required only if the student knew that this stringency was not strictly required by Halacha, and he had followed this practice as an additional measure of piety. If, however, he mistakenly thought that he must refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz, and he then learned that this is not required, then he may drop this stringent practice even without Hatarat Nedarim. Since this "vow" was taken on a faulty premise, as he erroneously assumed that Halacha requires him to refrain from shaving and haircutting, the "vow" is not binding, and he may therefore change his practice even without annulling his vow. Summary: Sephardic practice is to refrain from shaving and haircutting during the week of Tisha B'Ab. A Sephardic student studying in an institution where the majority of students are Ashkenazim – who refrain from shaving and haircutting already from Shiba Asar Be'Tammuz – may shave and take a haircut until the week of Tisha B'Ab, even though the other students refrain from doing so. Nevertheless, it is preferable him to refrain in deference to the Ashkenazic students. If he had observed this stringency and now wishes to act leniently, he may perform Hatarat Nedarim. If he had observed this stringency because he mistakenly thought it was Halachically required, then he does not need Hatarat Nedarim.
