1 Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars. 2 She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city: 4 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 5 "Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed! 6 Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding." 7 One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. 8 Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you. 9 Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11 For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased. 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it. 13 The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing. 14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15 to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways, 16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 17 "Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant." 18 But he doesn't know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn – 00:00 In this week’s In Ear Insights, one of the biggest questions that people have, and there’s a lot of debate on places like LinkedIn about this, is whether blogs and websites and things even matter in the age of generative AI. There are two different positions on this. The first is saying, no, it doesn’t matter. You just need to be everywhere. You need to be doing podcasts and YouTube and stuff like that, as we are now. The second is the classic, don’t build on rented land. They have a place that you can call your own and things. So I have opinions on this, but Katie, I want to hear your opinions on this. Katie Robbert – 00:37 I think we are in some ways overestimating people’s reliance on using AI for fact-finding missions. I think that a lot of people are turning to generative AI for, tell me the best agency in Boston or tell me the top five list versus the way that it was working previous to that, which is they would go to a search bar and do that instead. I think we’re overestimating the amount of people who actually do that. Katie Robbert – 01:06 Given, when we talk to people, a lot of them are still using generative AI for the basics—to write a blog post or something like that. I think personally, I could be mistaken, but I feel pretty confident in my opinion that people are still looking for websites. Katie Robbert – 01:33 People are still looking for thought leadership in the form of a blog post or a LinkedIn post that’s been repurposed from a blog post. People are still looking for that original content. I feel like it does go hand in hand with AI because if you allow the models to scrape your assets, it will show up in those searches. So I guess I think you still need it. I think people are still going to look at those sources. You also want it to be available for the models to be searching. Christopher S. Penn – 02:09 And this is where folks who know the systems generally land. When you look at a ChatGPT or a Gemini or a Claude or a Deep Seat, what’s the first thing that happens when a model is uncertain? It fires up a web search. That web search is traditional old school SEO. I love the content saying, SEO doesn’t matter anymore. Well, no, it still matters quite a bit because the web search tools are relying on the, what, 30 years of website catalog data that we have to find truthful answers. Christopher S. Penn – 02:51 Because AI companies have realized people actually do want some level of accuracy when they ask AI a question. Weird, huh? It really is. So with these tools, we have to. It is almost like you said, you have to do both. You do have to be everywhere. Christopher S. Penn – 03:07 You do have to have content on YouTube, you do have to post on LinkedIn, but you also do have to have a place where people can actually buy something. Because if you don’t, well. Katie Robbert – 03:18 And it’s interesting because if we say it in those terms, nothing’s changed. AI has not changed anything about our content dissemination strategy, about how we are getting ourselves out there. If anything, it’s just created a new channel for you to show up in. But all of the other channels still matter and you still have to start at the beginning of creating the content because you’re not. People like to think that, well, I have the idea in my head, so AI must know about it. It doesn’t work that way. Katie Robbert – 03:52 You still have to take the time to create it and put it somewhere. You are not feeding it at this time directly into OpenAI’s model. You’re not logging into OpenAI saying, here’s all the information about me. Katie Robbert – 04:10 So that when somebody asks, this is what you serve it up. No, it’s going to your website, it’s going to your blog post, it’s going to your social profiles, it’s going to wherever it is on the Internet that it chooses to pull information from. So your best bet is to keep doing what you’re doing in terms of your content marketing strategy, and AI is going to pick it up from there. Christopher S. Penn – 04:33 Mm. A lot of folks are talking, understandably, about how agentic AI functions and how agentic buying will be a thing. And that is true. It will be at some point. It is not today. One thing you said, which I think has an asterisk around it, is, yes, our strategy at Trust Insights hasn’t really changed because we’ve been doing the “be everywhere” thing for a very long time. Christopher S. Penn – 05:03 Since the inception of the company, we’ve had a podcast and a YouTube channel and a newsletter and this and that. I can see for legacy companies that were still practicing, 2010 SEO—just build it and they will come, build it and Google will send people your way—yeah, you do need an update. Katie Robbert – 05:26 But AI isn’t the reason. AI is—you can use AI as a reason, but it’s not the reason that your strategy needs to be updated. So I think it’s worth at least acknowledging this whole conversation about SEO versus AEO versus Giao Odo. Whatever it is, at the end of the day, you’re still doing, quote unquote, traditional SEO and the models are just picking up whatever you’re putting out there. So you can optimize it for AI, but you still have to optimize it for the humans. Christopher S. Penn – 06:09 Yep. My favorite expression is from Ashley Liddell at Deviate, who’s an SEO shop. She said SEO now just stands for Search Everywhere Optimization. Everything has a search. TikTok has a search. Pinterest has a search. You have to be everywhere and then you have to optimize for it. I think that’s the smartest way to think about this, to say, yeah, where is your customer and are you optimizing for? Christopher S. Penn – 06:44 One of the things that we do a lot, and this is from the heyday of our web analytics era, before the AI era, go into your Google Analytics, go into referring source sites, referring URLs, and look where you’re getting traffic from, particularly look where you’re getting traffic from for places that you’re not trying particularly hard. Christopher S. Penn – 07:00 So one place, for example, that I occasionally see in my own personal website that I have, to my knowledge, not done anything on, for quite some time, like decades or years, is Pinterest. Every now and again I get some rando from Pinterest coming. So look at those referring URLs and say, where else are we getting traffic from? Maybe there’s a there. If we’re getting traffic from and we’re not trying at all, maybe there’s a there for us to try something out there. Katie Robbert – 07:33 I think that’s a really good pro tip because it seems like what’s been happening is companies have been so focused on how do we show up in AI that they’re forgetting that all of these other things have not gone away and the people who haven’t forgotten about them are going to capitalize on it and take that digital footprint and take that market share. While you were over here worried about how am I going to show up as the first agency in Boston in the OpenAI search, you still have—so I guess to your question, where you originally asked, is, do we still need to think about websites and blogs and that kind of content dissemination? Absolutely. If we’re really thinking about it, we need to consider it even more. Katie Robbert – 08:30 We need to think about longer-form content. We need to think about content that is really impactful and what is it? The three E’s—to entertain, educate, and engage. Even more so now because if you are creating one or two sentence blurbs and putting that up on your website, that’s what these models are going to pick up and that’s it. So if you’re like, why is there not a more expansive explanation as to who I am? That’s because you didn’t put it out there. Christopher S. Penn – 09:10 Exactly. We were just doing a project for a client and were analyzing content on their website and I kid you not, one page had 12 words on it. So no AI tool is going to synthesize about you. It’s just going to say, wow, this sucks and not bother referring to you. Katie Robbert – 09:37 Is it fair to say that AI is a bit of a distraction when it comes to a content marketing strategy? Maybe this is just me, but the way that I would approach it is I would take AI out of the conversation altogether just for the time being. In terms of what content do we want to create? Who do we want to reach? Then I would insert AI back in when we’re talking about what channels do we want to appear on? Because I’m really thinking about AI search. For a lack of a better term, it’s just another channel. Katie Robbert – 10:14 So if I think of my attribution modeling and if I think of what that looks like, I would expect maybe AI shows up as a first touch. Katie Robbert – 10:31 Maybe somebody was doing some research and it’s part of my first touch attribution. But then they’re like, oh, that’s interesting. I want to go learn more. Let me go find their social profiles. That’s going to be a second touch. That’s going to be sort of the middle. Then they’re like, okay, now I’m ready. So they’re going to go to the website. That’s going to be a last touch. I would just expect AI to be a channel and not necessarily the end-all, be-all of how I’m creating my content. Am I thinking about that the right way? Christopher S. Penn – 11:02 You are. Think about it in terms of the classic customer training—awareness, consideration, evaluation, purchase and so on and so forth. Awareness you may not be able to measure anymore, because someone’s having a conversation in ChatGPT saying, gosh, I really want to take a course on AI strategy for leaders and I’m not really sure where I would go. It’s good. And ChatGPT will say, well, hey, let’s talk about this. It may fire off some web searches back and forth and things, and come back and give you an answer. Christopher S. Penn – 11:41 You might say, take Katie Robbert’s Trust Insights AI strategy course at Trust Insights AI/AI strategy course. You might not click on that, or there might not even be a link there. What might happen is you might go, I’ll Google that. Christopher S. Penn – 11:48 I’ll Google who Katie Robbert is. So the first touch is out of your control. But to your point, that’s nothing new. You may see a post from Katie on LinkedIn and go, huh, I should Google that? And then you do. Does LinkedIn get the credit for that? No, because nothing was clicked on. There’s no clickstream. And so thinking about it as just another channel that is probably invisible is no different than word of mouth. If you and I or Katie are at the coffee shop and having a cup of coffee and you tell me about this great new device for the garden, I might Google it. Or I might just go straight to Amazon and search for it. Katie Robbert – 12:29 Right. Christopher S. Penn – 12:31 But there’s no record of that. And the only way you get to that is through really good qualitative market research to survey people to say, how often do you ask ChatGPT for advice about your marketing strategy? Katie Robbert – 12:47 And so, again, to go back to the original question of do we still need to be writing blogs? Do we still need to have websites? The answer is yes, even more so. Now, take AI out of the conversation in terms of, as you’re planning, but think about it in terms of a channel. With that, you can be thinking about the optimized version. We’ve covered that in previous podcasts and live streams. There’s text that you can add to the end of each of your posts or, there’s the AI version of a press release. Katie Robbert – 13:28 There are things that you can do specifically for the machines, but the machine is the last stop. Katie Robbert – 13:37 You still have to put it out on the wire, or you still have to create the content and put it up on YouTube so that you have a place for the machine to read the thing that you put up there. So you’re really not replacing your content marketing strategy with what are we doing for AI? You’re just adding it into the fold as another channel that you have to consider. Christopher S. Penn – 14:02 Exactly. If you do a really good job with the creation of not just the content, but things like metadata and anticipating the questions people are going to ask, you will do better with AI. So a real simple example. I was actually doing this not too long ago for Trust Insights. We got a pricing increase notice from our VPS provider. I was like, wow, that’s a pretty big jump. Went from like 40 bucks a month, it’s going to go like 90 bucks a month, which, granted, is not gigantic, but that’s still 50 bucks a month more that I would prefer not to spend if I don’t have to. Christopher S. Penn – 14:40 So I set up a deep research prompt in Gemini and said, here’s what I care about. Christopher S. Penn – 14:49 I want this much CPU and this much memory and stuff like that. Make me a short list by features and price. It came back with a report and we switched providers. We actually found a provider that provided four times the amount of service for half the cost. I was like, yes. All the providers that have “call us for a demo” or “request a quote” didn’t make the cut because Gemini’s like, weird. I can’t find a price on your website. Move along. And they no longer are in consideration. Christopher S. Penn – 15:23 So one of the things that everyone should be doing on your website is using your ideal customer profile to say, what are the questions that someone would ask about this service? As part of the new AI strategy course, we. Christopher S. Penn – 15:37 One of the things we did was we said, what are the frequently asked questions people are going to ask? Like, do I get the recordings, what’s included in the course, who should take this course, who should not take this course, and things like that. It’s not just having more content for the sake of content. It is having content that answers the questions that people are going to ask AI. Katie Robbert – 15:57 It’s funny, this kind of sounds familiar. It almost kind of sounds like the way that Google would prioritize content in its search algorithm. Christopher S. Penn – 16:09 It really does. Interestingly enough, if you were to go into it, because this came up recently in an SEO forum that I’m a part of, if you go into the source code of a ChatGPT web chat, you can actually see ChatGPT’s internal ranking for how it ranks search results. Weirdly enough, it does almost exactly what Google does. Which is to say, like, okay, let’s check the authority, let’s check the expertise, let’s check the trustworthiness, the EEAT we’ve been talking about for literally 10 years now. Christopher S. Penn – 16:51 So if you’ve been good at anticipating what a Googler would want from your website, your strategy doesn’t need to change a whole lot compared to what you would get out of a generative AI tool. Katie Robbert – 17:03 I feel like if people are freaking out about having the right kind of content for generative AI to pick up, Chris, correct me if I’m wrong, but a good place to start might be with inside of your SEO tools and looking at the questions people ask that bring them to your website or bring them to your content and using that keyword strategy, those long-form keywords of “how do I” and “what do I” and “when do I”—taking a look at those specifically, because that’s how people ask questions in the generative AI models. Katie Robbert – 17:42 It’s very similar to how when these search engines included the ability to just yell at them, so they included like the voice feature and you would say, hey, search engine, how do I do the following five things? Katie Robbert – 18:03 And it changed the way we started looking at keyword research because it was no longer enough to just say, I’m going to optimize for the keyword protein shake. Now I have to optimize for the keyword how do I make the best protein shake? Or how do I make a fast protein shake? Or how do I make a vegan protein shake? Or, how do I make a savory protein shake? So, if it changed the way we thought about creating content, AI is just another version of that. Katie Robbert – 18:41 So the way you should be optimizing your content is the way people are asking questions. That’s not a new strategy. We’ve been doing that. If you’ve been doing that already, then just keep doing it. Katie Robbert – 18:56 That’s when you think about creating the content on your blog, on your website, on your LinkedIn, on your Substack newsletter, on your Tumblr, on your whatever—you should still be creating content that way, because that’s what generative AI is picking up. It’s no different, big asterisks. It’s no different than the way that the traditional search engines are picking up content. Christopher S. Penn – 19:23 Exactly. Spend time on stuff like metadata and schema, because as we’ve talked about in previous podcasts and live streams, generative AI models are language models. They understand languages. The more structured the language it is, the easier it is for a model to understand. If you have, for example, JSON, LD or schema.org markup on your site, well, guess what? That makes the HTML much more interpretable for a language model when it processes the data, when it goes to the page, when it sends a little agent to the page that says, what is this page about? And ingests the HTML. It says, oh look, there’s a phone number here that’s been declared. This is the phone number. Oh look, this is the address. Oh look, this is the product name. Christopher S. Penn – 20:09 If you spend the time to either build that or use good plugins and stuff—this week on the Trust Insights live stream, we’re going to be talking about using WordPress plugins with generative AI. All these things are things that you need to think about with your content. As a bonus, you can have generative AI tools look at a page and audit it from their perspective. You can say, hey ChatGPT, check out this landing page here and tell me if this landing page has enough information for you to guide a user about whether or not they should—if they ask you about this course, whether you have all the answers. Think about the questions someone would ask. Think about, is that in the content of the page and you can do. Christopher S. Penn – 20:58 Now granted, doing it one page at a time is somewhat tedious. You should probably automate that. But if it’s a super high-value landing page, it’s worth your time to say, okay, ChatGPT, how would you help us increase sales of this thing? Here’s who a likely customer is, or even better if you have conference call transcripts, CRM notes, emails, past data from other customers who bought similar things. Say to your favorite AI tool: Here’s who our customers actually are. Can you help me build a customer profile and then say from that, can you optimize, help me optimize this page on my website to answer the questions this customer will have when they ask you about it? Katie Robbert – 21:49 Yeah, that really is the way to go in terms of using generative AI. I think the other thing is, everyone’s learning about the features of deep research that a lot of the models have built in now. Where do you think the data comes from that the deep research goes and gets? And I say that somewhat sarcastically, but not. Katie Robbert – 22:20 So I guess again, sort of the PSA to the organizations that think that blog posts and thought leadership and white papers and website content no longer matter because AI’s got it handled—where do you think that data comes from? Christopher S. Penn – 22:40 Mm. So does your website matter? Sure, it does a lot. As long as it has content that would be useful for a machine to process. So you need to have it there. I just have curiosity. I just typed in “can you see any structured data on this page?” And I gave it the URL of the course and immediately ChatGPT in the little thinking—when it says “I’m looking for JSON, LD and meta tags”—and saying “here’s what I do and don’t see.” I’m like, oh well that’s super nice that it knows what those things are. And it’s like, okay, well I guess you as a content creator need to do this stuff. And here’s the nice thing. Christopher S. Penn – 23:28 If you do a really good job of tuning a page for a generative AI model, you will also tune it really well for a search engine and you will also tune it really well for an actual human being customer because all these tools are converging on trying to deliver value to the user who is still human for the most part and helping them buy things. So yes, you need a website and yes, you need to optimize it and yes, you can’t just go posting on social networks and hope that things work out for the best. Katie Robbert – 24:01 I guess the bottom line, especially as we’re nearing the end of Q3, getting into Q4, and a lot of organizations are starting their annual planning and thinking about where does AI fit in and how do we get AI as part of our strategy. And we want to use AI. Obviously, yes, take the AI Ready Strategist course at TrustInsights AIstrategy course, but don’t freak out about it. That is a very polite way of saying you’re overemphasizing the importance of AI when it comes to things like your content strategy, when it comes to things like your dissemination plan, when it comes to things like how am I reaching my audience. You are overemphasizing the importance because what’s old is new. Katie Robbert – 24:55 Again, basic best practices around how to create good content and optimize it are still relevant and still important and then you will show up in AI. Christopher S. Penn – 25:07 It’s weird. It’s like new technology doesn’t solve old problems. Katie Robbert – 25:11 I’ve heard that somewhere. I might get that printed on a T-shirt. But I mean that’s the thing. And so I’m concerned about the companies going to go through multiple days of planning meetings and the focus is going to be solely on how do we show up in AI results. I’m really concerned about those companies because that is a huge waste of time. Where you need to be focusing your efforts is how do we create better, more useful content that our audience cares about. And AI is a benefit of that. AI is just another channel. Christopher S. Penn – 25:48 Mm. And clearly and cleanly and with lots of relevant detail. Tell people and machines how to buy from you. Katie Robbert – 25:59 Yeah, that’s a biggie. Christopher S. Penn – 26:02 Make it easy to say like, this is how you buy from Trust Insights. Katie Robbert – 26:06 Again, it sounds familiar. It’s almost like if there were a framework for creating content. Something like a Hero Hub help framework. Christopher S. Penn – 26:17 Yeah, from 12 years ago now, a dozen years ago now, if you had that stuff. But yeah, please folks, just make it obvious. Give it useful answers to questions that you know your buyers have. Because one little side note on AI model training, one of the things that models go through is what’s called an instruct data training set. Instruct data means question-answer pairs. A lot of the time model makers have to synthesize this. Christopher S. Penn – 26:50 Well, guess what? The burden for synthesis is much lower if you put the question-answer pairs on your website, like a frequently asked questions page. So how do I buy from Trust Insights? Well, here are the things that are for sale. We have this on a bunch of our pages. We have it on the landing pages, we have in our newsletters. Christopher S. Penn – 27:10 We tell humans and machines, here’s what is for sale. Here’s what you can buy from us. It’s in our ebooks and things you can. Here’s how you can buy things from us. That helps when models go to train to understand. Oh, when someone asks, how do I buy consulting services from Trust Insights? And it has three paragraphs of how to buy things from us, that teaches the model more easily and more fluently than a model maker having to synthesize the data. It’s already there. Christopher S. Penn – 27:44 So my last tactical tip was make sure you’ve got good structured question-answer data on your website so that model makers can train on it. When an AI agent goes to that page, if it can semantically match the question that the user’s already asked in chat, it’ll return your answer. Christopher S. Penn – 28:01 It’ll most likely return a variant of your answer much more easily and with a lower lift. Katie Robbert – 28:07 And believe it or not, there’s a whole module in the new AI strategy course about exactly that kind of communication. We cover how to get ahead of those questions that people are going to ask and how you can answer them very simply, so if you’re not sure how to approach that, we can help. That’s all to say, buy the new course—I think it’s really fantastic. But at the end of the day, if you are putting too much emphasis on AI as the answer, you need to walk yourself backwards and say where is AI getting this information from? That’s probably where we need to start. Christopher S. Penn – 28:52 Exactly. And you will get side benefits from doing that as well.

Send us a textAfter this summer's sabbatical and break from AS BOLD AS LIONS content, Derek is back with a new episode taking us into the fall. Into this season, God is saying "It is time to go back to school." This is timely and a reminder that in life, we need God's Word and truth daily. We need to be students of Scripture, approaching it with humility and able to teach others. When we have a love for the Word like David had, we find that it causes us to want to see the truth untarnished and proclaimed boldly.

1 Wisdom has built her house. She has carved out her seven pillars. 2 She has prepared her meat. She has mixed her wine. She has also set her table. 3 She has sent out her maidens. She cries from the highest places of the city: 4 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here!" As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 5 "Come, eat some of my bread, Drink some of the wine which I have mixed! 6 Leave your simple ways, and live. Walk in the way of understanding." 7 One who corrects a mocker invites insult. One who reproves a wicked man invites abuse. 8 Don't reprove a scoffer, lest he hate you. Reprove a wise person, and he will love you. 9 Instruct a wise person, and he will be still wiser. Teach a righteous person, and he will increase in learning. 10 The fear of Yahweh is the beginning of wisdom. The knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. 11 For by me your days will be multiplied. The years of your life will be increased. 12 If you are wise, you are wise for yourself. If you mock, you alone will bear it. 13 The foolish woman is loud, undisciplined, and knows nothing. 14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat in the high places of the city, 15 to call to those who pass by, who go straight on their ways, 16 "Whoever is simple, let him turn in here." As for him who is void of understanding, she says to him, 17 "Stolen water is sweet. Food eaten in secret is pleasant." 18 But he doesn't know that the departed spirits are there, that her guests are in the depths of Sheol.

Psalm 32 Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. 2 Blessed is the man against whom the Lord counts no iniquity, and in whose spirit there is no deceit. 3 For when I kept silent, my bones wasted away through my groaning all day long. 4 For day and night your hand was heavy upon me; my strength was dried up as by the heat of summer. Selah 5 I acknowledged my sin to you, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and you forgave the iniquity of my sin. Selah 6 Therefore let everyone who is godly offer prayer to you at a time when you may be found; surely in the rush of great waters, they shall not reach him. 7 You are a hiding place for me; you preserve me from trouble; you surround me with shouts of deliverance. Selah 8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. 9 Be not like a horse or a mule, without understanding, which must be curbed with bit and bridle, or it will not stay near you. 10 Many are the sorrows of the wicked, but steadfast love surrounds the one who trusts in the Lord. 11 Be glad in the Lord, and rejoice, O righteous, and shout for joy, all you upright in heart! Key Words: Blessed, Forgive, Acknowledge, Confess, Sin, Transgression, Iniquity, Covered, Instruct, Rejoice Keystone Verse: I acknowledged my sin to You, and I did not cover my iniquity; I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord,” and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

Finding Jesus in Unexpected Places // Stopping a Jesus Parade Mark 10:46-52 (NIV)“Then they came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples, together with a large crowd, were leaving the city, a blind man, Bartimaeus (which means ‘son of Timaeus'), was sitting by the roadside begging. When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!' Many rebuked him and told him to be quiet, but he shouted all the more, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!' Jesus stopped and said, ‘Call him.' So they called to the blind man, ‘Cheer up! On your feet! He's calling you.' Throwing his cloak aside, he jumped to his feet and came to Jesus. ‘What do you want me to do for you?' Jesus asked him. The blind man said, ‘Rabbi, I want to see.' ‘Go,' said Jesus, ‘your faith has healed you.' Immediately, he received his sight and followed Jesus along the road.” Luke 4:16-21 (NIV)“He went to Nazareth, where he had been brought up, and on the Sabbath day he went into the synagogue, as was his custom. He stood up to read, the scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written: ‘The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to proclaim good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free, to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor.' Then he rolled up the scroll, gave it back to the attendant and sat down. The eyes of everyone in the synagogue were fastened on him. He began by saying to them, ‘Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing.'"

Should You Instruct a Lawyer on Day One of Listing? Here's Why It Could Be a Game Changer! In the current UK property market, staying ahead of the curve is essential. But have you thought about instructing a lawyer right from day one of listing a property? Sally Holdway, LawTech strategist, shares her expertise on how involving a lawyer early on can help streamline the process and give you a competitive edge. Sally explains how technology has made it easier to gather material information, why providing this upfront can speed up transactions, and how the latest regulatory changes are shifting the way estate agents should approach the sales process. With lawyers now better equipped to handle preemptive enquiries, getting them on board earlier can save valuable time and prevent costly delays later. If you're looking to optimise your approach, improve client satisfaction, and stay ahead of the competition, this episode is a must listen.
5. THE LAST / FINAL STEP OF THE LJ APPROACHA. Put the T/O foot down FLAT on to the T/O board. Not on your toe: not with the heel first....FLAT !!!B. Maintain a PERPENDICULAR POSTURE throughout this part of the jump.C. DO NOT have a full cycle of the T/O leg ( last step ) as you place it on the board. Simply scoot the leg through and put the foot down.D. The T/O STEP is the SHORTEST STEP / STRIDE in the LJ Approach.6. THE TAKE OFFA. The upper body must remain a PERPENDICULAR posture to and through the entire T/O process.B. There must be a checking or delaying of the onset of rotation with the arm opposite the T/O leg at the moment the athlete leaves the board.C. The Leading Leg must come through with the heel tight to the butt to create a SHORT, FAST MOVING LEVER at this T/O moment.D. Instruct the athlete to RUN THROUGH the T/O Board....NOT TO the T/O Board. This will assist in maintaining speed until the last possible moment.7. AIR MECHANICS AND LANDINGA. The HANG, HITCH KICK or HITCH HANG are all efficient techniques to be used. No one technique is better than the other. The purpose each of these techniques serves is to help delay the premature onset of rotation so the athlete can establish a good extension at landing.B. Maintain a PERPENDICULAR posture as long as possible as you leave the T/O board. C. Instruct the athlete to delay the extension of the legs until the last possible instant of deceleration.***Welcome to Gill1918, the track & field coaching podcast powered by Gill Athletics.

[teaching text]4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words that you shall speak to the people of Israel.”Exodus 19:4-6If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 1 Corinthians 15:14GOD WILL INSTRUCT4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself.Exodus 19:44 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine; 6 and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'Exodus 19:4-6Too many people read the law of Moses thinking that it shows how they can be accepted by God. They get it the wrong way around. The people of Israel were redeemed by God, then they were given the law to keep as an expression of gratitude. This principle is the same in the New Testament: Christians are redeemed and then told how to live holy lives.David PawsonI appeal to you therefore, brothers,[a] by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.Romans 12:1"It is extremely important to remember that the Law of Moses was given to a redeemed people, not to redeem a people."IbidBeing a Christian isn't a spectrum; it's a position. Purpose of the Mosaic CovenantREVEALREFORMRELEASEThe Law reveals the holiness of God and the sinfulness of man“5 Now therefore, if you will indeed obey my voice and keep my covenant,”The Law reforms the people to become holy mediators“you shall be my treasured possession among all peoples, for all the earth is mine;”The Law releases the blessing of Godand you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.'“Suppose that a father tells his son that, if he does his chores faithfully, he will reward him with a bicycle at Christmastime. The son is already a member of the family, so doing his chores faithfully has nothing to do with becoming a member of the family. It is simply a way by which the son can enjoy blessing in the family. Similarly, God told His children, the Israelites, that if they carried out the responsibilities that He was laying on them, they could enjoy blessings from His hand.”Thomas Watson8 All the people answered together and said, “All that the Lord has spoken we will do.” Exodus 19:8Man naturally believes in, and depends on, himself. And he must learn, at bitter cost often, of his own helplessness.NewellIsrael's utter failureWhen the people saw that Moses delayed to come down from the mountain, the people gathered themselves together to Aaron and said to him, “Up, make us gods who shall go before us. As for this Moses, the man who brought us up out of the land of Egypt, we do not know what has become of him.” 2 So Aaron said to them, “Take off the rings of gold that are in the ears of your wives, your sons, and your daughters, and bring them to me.” 3 So all the people took off the rings of gold that were in their ears and brought them to Aaron. 4 And he received the gold from their hand and fashioned it with a graving tool and made a golden[a] calf. And they said, “These are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of the land of Egypt!” 5 When Aaron saw this, he built an altar before it. And Aaron made a proclamation and said, “Tomorrow shall be a feast to the Lord.” 6 And they rose up early the next day and offered burnt offerings and brought peace offerings. And the people sat down to eat and drink and rose up to play.Exodus 32:1-6We are naive as Christians if we think that our thinking is not shaped by the cultural currents that surround us.Carl R. Truman17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly, I say to you, until heaven and earth pass away, not an iota, not a dot, will pass from the Law until all is accomplished. 19 Therefore whoever relaxes one of the least of these commandments and teaches others to do the same will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever does them and teaches them will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you, unless your righteousness exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.Matthew 17:2012 Therefore, my beloved, as you have always obeyed, so now, not only as in my presence but much more in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, 13 for it is God who works in you, both to will and to work for his good pleasure.14 Do all things without grumbling or disputing, 15 that you may be blameless and innocent, children of God without blemish in the midst of a crooked and twisted generation, among whom you shine as lights in the world, 16 holding fast to the word of life, so that in the day of Christ I may be proud that I did not run in vain or labor in vain. Philippians 2:12-16

Join Julie and Ginger as they speak with Anashay Wright, a national award-winning educator, speaker, consultant, and founder of Authentic Disruption and Disruptive Partners, a community-based leadership development program. https://www.anashaywright.com/ Anashay describes her journey by telling a story of inclusive school leaders who surrounded her family with community resources when they were in need. She says that school and district leaders prioritized people over policy, which led to Anashay falling in love with helping children, and she is now paying it forward. Here are some great takeaways from Anashay: The curriculum can't save you. Brainwash them into greatness. Use the community as a connector. Use tech and AI to educate. Kids don't need Saviorism; they need servant leaders. Kids can read! They read what they want. You can drive solutions with what kids CAN do. If they argue, teach them to argue like an attorney. Beware of the cycle of impoverished thinking. Give them the power to express themselves, and then listen to them. Beware of deficit thinking that shames people. What are the gifts and talents that you bring into the space? Let them dream. Lead with what's possible. It starts with the adult dreaming. Make their vision your mission. Lead with radical, disruptive love. The question isn't how we protect kids from trauma; it's how we help them respond to it when they encounter it. Our favorite quote from Anashay: When we start to lead with what's possible and the promise, shift our thinking, and actually believe in ourselves and then in our children, we will disrupt the system. Disruptive Innovation means building something better and ignoring what we currently have. In a classroom, that means if all the other teachers are writing kids up, I'm not going to write kids up. I'm simply gonna ask kids, “What's wrong, what's the solution, and how are you feeling?” The big and small moves you make every day when nobody is looking disrupt the system.

Wisdom, Pt. 12 | November 24, 2024Pastor Wes MorrisProverbs 4:7 The beginning of wisdom is this: Get wisdom, and whatever you get, get insight.Proverbs 9:9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.Proverbs 14:4 Where there are no oxen, the manger is clean, but abundant crops come by the strength of the ox. The wise see the hard work and the mess, but they also see the harvest ahead. ✓ Avoidance - What messy or difficult thing(s) do you tend to avoid?✓ Hide - What current life problems/mess do you hide from others?✓ Ease - How do you choose what feels easy over what feels difficult? “Unpleasant work is necessary for a harvest.” - The Faithlife Study Bible Where There's Life, There's Mess 1. Embrace the DifficultJames 1:2-4 Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, 3 for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. 4 And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. 2. Embrace the MessGalatians 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap [a harvest], if we do not give up.
This week Noah explains this acrostic psalm by walking through the different ideas contained in each of these verses. He discusses honor/shame dynamics as well as the instruction of God, the goodness and mercy of God, and belief in one's integrity and uprightness. There is a lot of different ideas in the psalm so expect a buffet of different themes, as is typical with an acrostic psalm.

On this episode of The King's Healing Room Podcast, Bishop. Hill dives into his sermon and continues his session from last week WOW. Sermon verses:“Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars. She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table. She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city, “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed. Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.” Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse. Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you. Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding. For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life. If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer. Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing. She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city, calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way, “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says, “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!” But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.”Proverbs 9:1-18 NIVhttps://bible.com/bible/111/pro.9.1-18.NIVYou can join us every thursday on our prayer line978-990-5000; 596853 (is the access code) from 12pm to 1pmTo give today:Givelify: Search: The King's Healing RoomPay PalTKHROFFICE@gmail.comTKHR now offers Text to Give...

QUOTES FOR REFLECTION “A proverb is a short sentence based on long experience.”~Miguel de Cervantes, Spanish author (1547-1616) “Proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten.” ~Chinua Achebe, Nigerian novelist (1930-2013) “A God wise enough to create me and the world I live in is wise enough to watch out for me.”~Philip Yancy, American author “God is always trying to give good things to us, but our hands are too full to receive them.”~Augustine, north African bishop and theologian (354AD-430) “To all life thou givest, to both great and small;in all life thou livest, the true life of all;we blossom and flourish as leaves on the tree.”~“Immortal, Invisible, God Only Wise,” 1867 Hymn by Walter Smith “[Jesus'] body was for Him not a limitation, but an instrument so that He was both in it and in all things, and outside all things, resting in the Father alone.”~Athanasius, Egyptian theologian (296AD-373) “Most Christians probably tend to write God's presence off as a stuffy, philosophical category to be handled by tenured department heads in ivy-covered university halls. Or maybe [they confuse] God with a type of super-Santa Claus who knows when we're sleeping and when we're awake…But when we turn to Scripture, we find God's presence is relational and real, even gloriously manifest at times. The Bible promises that God will be with his people and that he will not forsake them.~Ryan Lister, Professor at Western SeminarySERMON PASSAGEProverbs 2:6-11, 9:1-18 (NIV)Proverbs 26 For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding.7 He holds success in store for the upright, he is a shield to those whose walk is blameless,8 for he guards the course of the just and protects the way of his faithful ones.9 Then you will understand what is right and just and fair—every good path.10 For wisdom will enter your heart, and knowledge will be pleasant to your soul.11 Discretion will protect you, and understanding will guard you. Proverbs 91 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city,4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,5 “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you.9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.13 Folly is an unruly woman; she is simple and knows nothing.14 She sits at the door of her house, on a seat at the highest point of the city,15 calling out to those who pass by, who go straight on their way,16 “Let all who are simple come to my house!” To those who have no sense she says,17 “Stolen water is sweet; food eaten in secret is delicious!”18 But little do they know that the dead are there, that her guests are deep in the realm of the dead.

Zach Abraham and I began the show with a disarming of memes. Sometimes I go to Democrat websites and see what memes are most popular and then dismantle them. I also presented to him the case of Mayor Pete as he tries to explain why electric car charging stations are taking so long to be installed given the massive cost to taxpayers. His answer is so ridiculous it makes the news show host laugh. And, I shared with Zach emails I have been getting in regards to last week's conversation about inflation being the silent killer of retirement portfolios. In response to these emails, we dive back into the topic of inflation and Zach shares valuable insight. What does God's Word say? Proverbs 9:1-12 Invitations of Wisdom and Folly9 Wisdom has built her house; she has set up its seven pillars.2 She has prepared her meat and mixed her wine; she has also set her table.3 She has sent out her servants, and she calls from the highest point of the city,4 “Let all who are simple come to my house!”To those who have no sense she says,5 “Come, eat my food and drink the wine I have mixed.6 Leave your simple ways and you will live; walk in the way of insight.”7 Whoever corrects a mocker invites insults; whoever rebukes the wicked incurs abuse.8 Do not rebuke mockers or they will hate you; rebuke the wise and they will love you.9 Instruct the wise and they will be wiser still; teach the righteous and they will add to their learning.10 The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom, and knowledge of the Holy One is understanding.11 For through wisdom your days will be many, and years will be added to your life.12 If you are wise, your wisdom will reward you; if you are a mocker, you alone will suffer.Episode 1,633 Links:Pete Buttigieg has a VERY tough time trying to explain why "only 7 or 8 [electric vehicle] charging stations have been produced with the $7.5 BILLION investment that taxpayers made back in 2021"Al Gore: "If you look at all the new electricity generation installed worldwide last year 87% of it was renewables. It's the cheapest electricity in the history of the world. 1 in 5 vehicles are electric now and it's going to raise rapidly. Those trends are going to continue, but it's not enough and so the outcome of these elections in the US and elsewhere in the world this year really will make. It's important to make the changes we were talking about earlier about composting and all of these different, getting a heat pump and changing the light bulbs. But as important as it is to change the light bulbs, it's way more important to change the laws and the policies because that's really the solution..."
