Delivered by Melissa Heidy from the Parish of Christ the King in the Archdiocese of Makassar, Indonesia. Jeremiah 23: 5-8; Rs psalm 72: 1-2.12-13.18-19; Matthew 1: 18-24.JOSEPH,AN EXPERT OF CRHRISTMAS Ourmeditation today is entitled Joseph, an Expert of Christmas. In theGospel of Matthew that we have just heard, an angel speaks to Joseph in a dreamand says: “Joseph, son of David, do not be afraid to take Mary as your wife.She is pregnant through the Holy Spirit. The child to be born through Mary—youmust name Him Jesus.” Josephwas surely disappointed and embarrassed when he learned that Mary was pregnant.To help him understand, God had a plan. He sent an angel who could explainGod's will wisely. From the very beginning, the angel gained Joseph's attentionby calling him a descendant of David. By reminding Joseph of his connection tothe great King David, the angel showed him that he had a specialresponsibility. Joseph understood that he must obey and follow God's plan. Wehuman beings are often like this as well. When the name of a respected or holyperson is mentioned, we are more willing to listen and change our minds. We aretaught to follow the examples of great, noble, and holy people. When we aretempted to do something wrong, their example helps us reconsider our decisions. Inthis way, Joseph is truly an expert of Christmas. He teaches us how to evaluateourselves and remain faithful. A few days ago, we celebrated Gaudete Sunday.May the joy of Christmas not distract us from what the most important thing is—thatour hearts and spirits need to be purified. Our joy must be accompanied byobedience to God, so that we are not led into temptation. Josephis a true guide for Christmas. He teaches us to take risks for what is rightand to remain faithful to the right decisions. As individuals, families, andcommunities, we will make choices as we celebrate Christmas and the New Year.May our decisions strengthen our faith. Even if there are risks, may theyalways lead us closer to God. Saint Joseph, pray for us. Amen. Let uspray. In the name of the Father…O Lord,help us imitate Saint Joseph as we prepare for Christmas. Help us remainfaithful and obedient to You.Glory be tothe Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit…In the name of theFather…

To skip straight to the stories go to 16 mins inThis week on Spine Chillers and Serial Killers, Becky takes the lead with the heartbreaking and deeply unsettling case of Kenneka Jenkins — a young woman whose mysterious death inside a hote sparked outrage, unanswered questions, and countless theories. Becky walks through the facts, the timeline, and the lingering doubts that still haunt this case today.With Emma away this week, Tasha steps in to fill the spooky void with an extra-long, extra-creepy ChatGPT horror story

Thefirst thing that we see as an evidence of spiritual maturity and spiritualgrowth is that we are Christlike in our attitude, actions and speech. Jesus wasalways submitted to the will of His Father. Read the Gospels. Jesus always didHis Father's will. This quote from Psalms is most descriptive of Jesus: “Ihad delight to do Thy will. Oh my God. Thy law is written within my heart” (Psalm40:8). That was the heart and mind of Jesus, my friend. That's what happens tous when we're submitted in obedience to the will of God. As Oswalt Chamberssaid in one of his writings.  We'vebeen perfectly adjusted to the fact that Christ lives in us, and we now know andlive in His righteousness. We're robed in that righteousness, and we want towalk with Him with all of our heart. It's a surrendered life, as Andrew Murrayput it. Thenwe see the second evidence of our spiritual growth is stability. We're nolonger children tossed to and fro. Today, we looking at the third evidence of our spiritual growth that wefind in verse 15: “But speaking the truth in love may grow up in allthings unto Him who is the head Christ”. The third evidence of spiritualmaturity is that we consistently “speak the truth in love”. Someonehas said that truth without love is brutality, but love without truth ishypocrisy. We somehow another, by the grace of God, can combine the two. Youmust have truth expressed in love. I love that verse in Psalm 85:10 where itsays, "Love and truth and mercy have met. Righteousness and peace havekissed." I believe this happened at the cross of Calvary. It was therethe truth of God, that we're sinners that our sin must be punished, met withthe love and mercy of God, as Christ died in our place for our sins. We now canbe set free from our sin and experience peace along with God's righteousness! Nowwe can speak truth out of a heart of love to those around us because we'veexperienced the love of God. 1 John 4:7-11 tells us where this love comes from:"Beloved, let us love one another. For love is of God, and everyone wholoves is born of God and knows God. He who does not love does not know God. ForGod is love. In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God hassent His only begotten Son into the world that we might live through Him. Inthis is love, not that we love God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to bethe propitiation for our sins. Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought to loveone another." Evidencethat we have spiritual maturity is that we can love, but we love in truth. We speakthe truth in love. We don't speak the truth to hurt, to condemn, todestroy, to tear down. We speak it in love to build up, to encourage, to help aperson get back on track. We speak the truth in love. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8tells us the kind of love that God has and that we should have. “Lovesuffers long. Love is kind. Love does not envy. Love does not parade itself. Isnot puffed up. Does not behave rudely. Does not seek its own. Is not provoked.Thinks no evil, does not rejoice in iniquity, rejoices in the truth, love bearsall things.” Whenwe have a heart that is surrendered and obedient to the will of the Lord GodAlmighty, we will have the mind of Christ, and we will speak the truth withlove. It will be evidence that there is something in our heart that's differentthan when the natural man is in control of our lives and tearing down anddestroying the lives of those around us as we see so often in Christian circles.God help us to have this mark of spiritual maturity, and spiritual growth, andthat is “speaking the truth in love”. Godbless!

We sit down with Amanda Firth to unpack the hidden seams of maternity care: where well-meaning screening tools miss people, where interpreters enter too late, and where equity hinges on small, repeatable habits in busy clinics.Amanda traces a path from home births and district hospitals to a PhD on refugee and asylum-seeking women's perinatal mental health. She reveals how identity, migration status, and access to interpreters shape outcomes, and why midwives sometimes reword screening tools just to get women the help they clearly need. We break down trauma-informed care that protects both women and clinicians, and explore the overlooked solution of training midwives and interpreters together so mental health conversations become safer, clearer, and culturally grounded.Beyond the consult room, we tackle workforce realities: staffing ratios, burnout, and the urgency of continuity of carer. Amanda shares how to translate research beyond paywalls into practice people can use—turning dense papers into plain language and peer learning that sticks. It's an honest, hopeful look at building fair maternity systems, starting with what you can change today while the bigger machinery catches up.If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and leave a quick review.

We sit down with the Senior Midwifery Advisor at the Commonwealth Chief Nursing and Midwifery Office to map a career that spans MGP caseloads, tertiary units, regional hospitals under flood and fire, and the long arc of a PhD that changed how she sees student learning and continuity of care.Olivia takes us inside the contrasts that shaped her practice: the intimacy of continuity models versus the shock of high-acuity tertiary care, the autonomy and breadth of regional shifts, and the logistics of transfers when roads close and distance is daily reality. She explains why continuity of care experience (COCE) lights a spark in students, how following women through pregnancy, birth and postnatal periods turns theory into grounded judgement, reflection, and confidence. Her research journey is frank and relatable: withdrawing, restarting, choosing supervisors who fit, sitting with uncertainty until the work clicks, and then using that evidence to improve how students learn across varied placements.We also explore what it means to lead from policy. Olivia argues for midwives at every decision table, translating lived practice into better guidelines, workforce planning and equitable access, especially for regional and remote communities. She shares how endorsed midwife pathways, prescribing shifts and smarter placement design can reduce attrition and keep midwives in roles that match their philosophy and scope. Through it all, she keeps a link to research, ensuring national decisions are tested against evidence and the realities of care.If you care about continuity, education that actually works, and policies that respect both women and the profession, you'll find both clarity and courage here.

We sit down with Deborah Fox to unpack a career that moved from the Melbourne Symphony Orchestra to the frontline of woman-centred maternity care — and into the engine room where new technologies are designed. From scaling a water birth service in Singapore to shaping wireless CTG so women can keep moving in labour, Deborah shows how evidence and empathy can live alongside devices without crowding out choice.We walk through the findings of her grounded theory PhD on intrapartum transfer and why the real friction often occurs between midwives across settings, not between midwives and obstetricians. The fix isn't blame; it's continuity, shared protocols, and a culture that holds the woman at the centre. Deborah's current work uses mediation theory to ask smarter questions about technology: not whether it's good or bad, but how it shapes care — and how midwives and women can shape it back. That approach now guides collaborations with industry so future fetal monitoring and maternity devices embody mobility, consent, and informed choice from the start.The horizon is bold and necessary: virtual maternity wards and remote monitoring that keep complex pregnancies at home with strong midwifery relationships, timely escalation, and less disruption for families. In a country where distance defines access, this is more than convenience; it's equity. We talk practical steps for protecting physiology in every setting — from skin-to-skin in theatre to mobility in labour — and the habits that keep relational care alive across screens and sensors.If you care about safer births, better choices, and technology that serves people rather than the other way around, this conversation will give you fresh tools and a hopeful roadmap.

Ep 104  (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) John Pendleton on Rethinking Midwifery: Gender, Power, And Care@PhDMidwives #research #midwifery  #education #care #uninorthants_uon #genderinclusion #addressinginequitiesresearch link - t.ly/UPDGXA home birth at 2 a.m. changed everything. John Pendleton swapped the BBC's long-form documentaries for the long arc of labour, finding the same core craft in both worlds: showing up, listening deeply, and holding space through life-changing moments. We trace his path from community midwife to senior lecturer, and how a planned PhD on third stage physiology morphed into a bracing inquiry about gender, power, and presence in the birth room.We talk candidly about why people choose midwifery—and why many leave in years three to five. Younger cohorts are arriving straight from school while funding gaps, means-tested allowances, and a rising cost of living push placements and part-time work into the same week. Continuity-of-carer promises better outcomes but collides with childcare at 2 a.m. AI may streamline admin, but hands-on, relational care remains the human core. The hard question is practical: how do we build wraparound support so midwives can deliver the care families want without burning themselves out?John opens the black box of his research: an interpretive phenomenological study asking what it's like for men working as midwives. The answers live in details—where you stand, how you seek consent, when you offer a chaperone—and reveal how gender operates as power, not just identity. That lens widened into a hotly debated paper on gender-inclusive language and whether “midwife” still serves everyone we care for. The media firestorm missed the nuance, but the academic work stands: read to think, not to react. Along the way, we dig into decolonising midwifery education, teaching cultural humility, and why rigorous mentorship in physiological birth still matters.If you care about safer, kinder maternity care—closing racial inequities, protecting informed consent, and keeping brilliant clinicians in the job—this conversation offers both realism and hope. Listen, reflect, and share it with a colleague. Then tell us: what one change would help you deliver better care tomorrow?

Welcometo Pastor's Chat. Today we're looking at Ephesians 3:14-19. These are powerfulverses reminding us of the Apostle Paul's prayer for the church at Ephesus. Inthis prayer, there are four request, but they're not to be looked at asinsulated individual petitions because these four requests are like four partsto a telescope. One request leads into the next one and so on. He prays thatthe inner man might have spiritual strength, which will, in turn, lead to adeeper experience with Christ. This deeper experience will enable him to “apprehend”(to get a hold) of God's great love, which will result in being “filled untothe fullness of God”. So, then, Paul is praying for strength, for depth inour spiritual life, for apprehension, and for fullness.  That'swhat we'll be talking about these next couple days because this prayer, thispetition is so vitally important to our spiritual growth and our spiritualwell-being and our spiritual standing as we fight and stand against the wilesof the evil one (Ephesians 6). Please read the petition in these six versescarefully. Oh my friend, it's almost unimaginable that we have a prayer herethat tells us that on earth we can be filled with the fullness of God. JesusChrist himself was the exact image of God (Hebrews 1:3). He was the fullness ofGod manifest on earth (Colossians 1:19). Now we as His believers, as His light,as His witnesses, can be filled with the same fullness of God to make a bigdifference in the world in which we live.  Oh,if only we as believers would learn this truth and pray for this greatanointing, this great strengthening of the Holy Spirit to make us all that weshould be for the glory of God. The lack of power and weakness of the churchestoday is that we have no idea as far as most believers are concerned what wehave in Christ Jesus and the fullness of God and the riches of His glory that'savailable to us. And that through this prayer that we read about here we can experiencethis power and strength in our lives Thefirst thing Paul prays for is “to be strengthened with might throughHis Spirit in the inner man”. The presence of the Holy Spirit in our lifeis evidence of our salvation. Romans 8:9 says: “But you are not in the fleshbut in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you. Now if anyonedoes not have the Spirit of Christ, he is not His”. Scripture is very clearthat at the moment of our salvation, the Holy Spirit comes to indwell us. But thepower of the Holy Spirit is enablement for Christian living. It's this powerthat Paul desires for these believers here at Ephesus.  InActs 1:8, Jesus had said to the disciples, you shall receive power after thatthe Holy Spirit is come upon you. We are told in Luke 4:1, 14, that Jesusperformed His ministry on earth in the power of the Holy Spirit. This power ofthe Holy Spirit is the only resource that we have for Christian living today.When you read through the book of Acts, over and again you see the importanceof the Holy Spirit in the life of the church. There are at least some fifty-ninereferences to the Holy Spirit in the book of Acts. This is one fourth of allthe references found in the New Testament on the Holy Spirit. Someonesaid, that if God took the Holy Spirit out of the church today, He wouldn'teven be missed because we would just go on working as usual. How sad that thisis so true. We can't imagine the wisdom that we would have, the strength thatwe would, the witness that we would in the world, if we would receive this greattruth and allow the Holy Spirit to fill us. living and working in us, andthrough us.  Today,how real is the Holy Spirit to you? Are you praying to “be strengthened withmight through His Spirit” to face the challenges of living theChristian life in today's godless culture? Are you praying this for others too? Godbless!

That's where Christine Catling starts—then she takes us through three decades of midwifery identity, home birth advocacy, and the quiet systems that make or break trust. We follow her move from UK nursing to Australian midwifery, the spark that led to a qualitative PhD on why women choose home birth, and the national consortium that helped publicly funded home birth services grow across Australia. The pattern is clear: when people feel seen and valued, services improve; when they don't, the costs—human and financial—compound.We dive into the workforce crunch with blunt honesty. Why are midwives leaving between years three and five? What does it cost to lose skills and continuity just as clinicians hit their stride? Christine shares promising findings from a cluster RCT on group clinical supervision and argues for cost analyses that count retention, recruitment, agency use, and the ripple effects on safety. The conversation also tackles freebirth and distrust of institutional care, not with judgment but with a hard look at what it takes to rebuild trust: first impressions that centre the person, informed consent that's real, and models of care that let midwives do midwifery.Along the way, you'll hear how interdisciplinary work sharpens policy, why shared decision-making around induction and elective caesarean is a safeguard, and how compassion—eye contact, presence, a name—can change outcomes in seconds. We end with momentum: papers in the pipeline, global conversations with UK professional midwifery advocates, and a push to turn evidence into resourced policy that keeps midwives and families safer. If you care about midwifery, home birth, workforce sustainability, and humane care that actually works, this one's for you.Enjoyed the conversation?

Erin George's journey from aspiring emergency medicine doctor to certified nurse midwife, researcher, and advocate reveals the serendipitous and sometimes meandering paths that lead us to our true calling.In this deeply personal conversation, Erin shares how her internship at Partners in Health and a fortuitous desk placement outside a midwife's office sparked her interest in a profession she knew little about. Her story weaves through nursing school, global health work in Haiti, hospital practice, and eventually to a freestanding birth center where her passion for expanding birth setting options took root. When that birth center closed during COVID-19, Erin channeled her frustration into PhD research examining how pregnant people choose birth settings and what barriers they face.Most poignantly, Erin reveals how pursuing her doctoral studies became an unexpected anchor during her husband's cancer diagnosis and treatment. With raw honesty, she describes completing her dissertation while raising two young children during a pandemic and facing profound personal challenges. Rather than derailing her research, these circumstances focused her work on what truly matters in maternal care.Now as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Arizona, Erin is tackling critical research questions about birth setting transfers and postpartum hemorrhage prediction. Her work examines how we might better identify who's at risk for hemorrhage through genetic testing, placental biomarkers, and comprehensive health histories. The conversation highlights how midwifery research can bridge clinical practice with systems-level change to improve maternal outcomes.Curious about the future of maternal health research or considering a career in midwifery?

Ephesians1:3-6 is one long sentence. Today we are looking at the blessings that we havefrom God the Father. “Blessed be God and the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,who has blessed us…” (v.3). Verses 3-6 are speaking of our blessings thatwe have from God the Father. When Jesus Christ wrote His last will andtestament for His church, He made it possible for us to share in His spiritualriches. Instead of spending it all for Him, (as some do when they receive aninheritance), Jesus Christ paid for it all. His death on the cross and Hisresurrection made it possible for our salvation.  Myfriend, Jesus wrote us into His will and then He died so that the will would beenforced. That's what the book of Hebrews is about. Then He rose again that Hemight become the heavenly advocate, our lawyer, to make sure that the terms ofthe will were correctly followed.  Inthis long sentence Paul begins to name just a few of the blessings that we havethat make up our spiritual wealth. First, we find in verse four here that Godhas “chosen us in Him”. This is the speaking of the marvelous doctrineof election, a doctrine that has confused some and confounded others. Aseminary professor once remarked, "You try to explain election and you'lllose your mind. But try to explain it away and you may lose your soul."  TheScriptures teach that salvation begins with God and not with man. AllChristians must agree upon this. "You have not chosen me," Jesussaid, "but I have chosen you." (John 15:16). The lost sinnerleft to his own ways does not seek God. He hides from God. Remember Adam andEve after they sinned (Genesis 3:8). God in His love seeks the sinner (Luke19:10).  Notethat God chose us even before He created the universe, so that our salvation iswholly of His grace and not on the basis of anything we ourselves have done. Hechose us in Christ, not in ourselves. And He chose us for a purpose: “to beholy and without blame”. In the Bible, election is always unto something.It is a privilege that carries a great responsibility. We are not elected intothe family of God, we are born into the family of God (John 3:1-7). We are electedto a position of sanctification and service as we participate in the body lifein the family of God!  Doesthe sinner respond to God's grace against his own will? No, he responds becauseGod's grace makes him willing to respond (Ephesians 2:8-9). God only gives usthis grace when we humble ourselves under the condemnation of the Law and we acknowledgeand confess that we can only be saved by the death and resurrection of JesusChrist (Romans 10:10-13)! At the same time there is the mystery of divinesovereignty and human responsibility will never be solved in this life. Bothare taught in the Bible (John 6:37). Both are true, and both are essential.Spurgeon said they are friends, and they walk hand in hand. I personally believestrongly in both! Ilove how someone shared how that all three Persons in the Godhead are involvedin our salvation (see also 1 Peter 1:3-5). As far as God the Father isconcerned, you were saved when He chose you in Christ in eternity past. Butthat alone did not save you. As far as God the Son is concerned, you were savedwhen He died for you on the cross. As far as God the Spirit is concerned, youwere saved when you yielded to His conviction and received Christ as your Savior.What began in eternity past was fulfilled in time present, and will continuefor all eternity!  Oh,my friend, how wonderful it is to know that we have been chosen in Christbefore the foundation of the world, not to be saved, but “to be holyand without blame before Him in love”.  We are a special people. We have a greatblessing. We are “chosen in Him”.  Godbless!

Todaywe are talking about the riches that we have in Christ Jesus. Sometimeswe think of the wealthiest people on earth such as Elon Musk being worth over$430 billion and Jeff Bezos, the owner and founder of Amazon, over 200-plusbillion dollars, and other wealthy people. The top five billionaires in theworld altogether—their wealth is over a trillion dollars—and we go, wow,wouldn't we like to have that? Well, my friend, I am telling you, you havesomething better than that. You have eternal riches.  Thefact that Paul is writing about wealth would be significant to his readers,because Ephesus was considered the bank of Asia. One of the seven wonders ofthe world, the great temple of Diana, was in Ephesus, and was not only a centerfor idolatrous worship, but also a depository for wealth. Some of the greatestart treasures of the ancient world were housed in this magnificent building. Inthis letter, Paul will compare the church of Jesus Christ to a temple and willexplain the great wealth that Christ has in His church. Paul is saying to us, "BE RICH!" Thatis what Paul says in verse three: “Blessed be the God and Father of our LordJesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenlyplaces in Christ.” Our riches are not in a passing world, a temporaryworld, the temporary wealth of this world. Our riches are found in the eternalperson of Jesus Christ Himself. We have His riches. We are co-inheritors withHim of all the riches of God. Our Father in heaven owns it all.  TheHoly Spirit is mentioned many times in this letter, because He is the one whochannels our riches to us from the Father, through the Son. Not to know anddepend on the Holy Spirit's provision is to live a life of spiritual poverty.No wonder Paul began his Ephesian ministry asking some professed Christians ifthey really knew the Holy Spirit (Acts 19:1-7). We might ask professedChristians today, "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed? Ifthe answer is no, then you are not saved." "Now if any man havenot the Spirit of Christ, he is none of His" (Romans 8:9). Unless youhave the witness of the Spirit (Romans 8:15-16), you cannot draw on the wealthof the Spirit. Inthese first verses of this chapter one of the guarantees that we're going tosee of our salvation and our eternal inheritance in Christ is based on the factthat we have been given the Holy Spirit (vv.11-14). In the Old Testament,promises were made to Israel that they would be blessed with prosperity, withwealth, with land, with material things. But my friend, the blessings that arepromised to the believer are eternal blessings. We're not called to be blessedwith riches physically. The prosperity gospel preachers are deceitfullymisleading many today to believe that God has promised us material wealth now.Actually Jesus promised us poverty and suffering now if we truly follow Him.  Ourriches In Christ are not in the sweet by and by. We are rich and blessed inChrist spiritually speaking right now! In Philippians 3, Paul said, "Icount all things but loss for the glory and the riches that I have in ChristJesus… that I might know Him and the power of His resurrection." Ourriches are found in the fact that we have the promise that “our God willsupply all our needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus” (Philippians4:19). “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me” (Philippians4:13).  Myfriend, today we have the power, the ability, and the desire to please God forheavenly riches, heavenly things, and heavenly results. You can't take yourmoney to heaven with you, but you can take people to heaven with you that youinfluence and impact with the gospel of Jesus Christ.  Today,you are rich in Christ. You've been born into tremendous wealth in Christ. Youare seated with Him in the heavenlies even right now. GodBless!

Ep 101 (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) Deborah Davis on navigating hospitals, home births, and academic journeys @PhDMidwives #research #midwifery  #education @unicanberra #ACTHealth #homebirth #VIDM @world_midwives research link - t.ly/mOzQhDeborah Davis takes us on a captivating journey through her remarkable career evolution from cardiothoracic intensive care nurse to home birth midwife to academic leader. Her story reveals the profound shift in mindset required when moving from high-tech medical environments to relationship-based midwifery care.Deborah speaks candidly about her early fascination with home birth, sparked during travels through Southeast Asia where she hearing stories of birth happening naturally in community settings. This perspective led her to pursue midwifery and then an apprenticeship in home birth practice, eventually practicing for 15 years across Australia and New Zealand. She describes the stark differences between these countries in how midwifery was positioned within the healthcare system, with New Zealand offering a more integrated approach where midwives were respected as autonomous practitioners.The conversation delves into Deborah's academic awakening and her doctoral research examining how midwives promote and protect normal birth in hospital environments that "scream medical." Her findings revealed the complex strategies midwives develop to support physiological birth within institutional settings, and how even home birth practices are influenced by hospital policies. This research exemplifies how midwifery is inherently political, requiring constant advocacy at multiple levels.We explore the challenges of balancing academia, clinical work and single parenthood, including Deborah's practical approach to completing her PhD over eight years by establishing a rigid evening study routine. Her reflections on maintaining wellbeing through community connections outside midwifery offer valuable insights for anyone balancing professional demands with personal life.Deborah's current work focuses on improving care for women with gestational diabetes, inspired by one woman's powerful statement that "diabetes stole her pregnancy." This research aims to create models of care that maintain the woman at the center of her experience rather than reducing her to a medical diagnosis. As chair of the Scientific Program Committee for the upcoming International Confederation of Midwives conference, she's also helping shape global midwifery conversations.

Anna Madeley's pioneering research reveals it's not defiance or ignorance—it's defense of their fundamental reproductive identity.After experiencing a challenging first birth, Anna transformed from a construction safety consultant to a midwife with passion for critical inquiry. This transformation sparked a decade-long journey culminating in groundbreaking doctoral research examining why women make what she terms "non-normative" birth choices. Moving beyond simplistic labels like "declining care" or "non-compliance," Anna's work unveils the complex identity factors driving reproductive decision-making.The episode explores Anna's development of the QUEEN model—describing strategies women use to navigate maternity systems that threaten their core identity. From "quitting" care entirely to performing strategic compliance while maintaining internal autonomy, women employ sophisticated approaches when faced with care that doesn't align with their values.Most revealing is Anna's Theory of Reproductive Identity Defense, demonstrating how our healthcare systems often create identity threats by disregarding women's deeply-held beliefs, experiences, and knowledge. When women resist standardised care, they're not being difficult—they're protecting essential aspects of self.The conversation delves into striking findings, including how midwives themselves frequently make non-normative choices and how women's resistance typically begins with small refusals before escalating when autonomy isn't respected. We also discuss Anna's concurrent book publication, her charitable advocacy work, and her powerful message that "no is a complete sentence" when it comes to bodily autonomy.Whether you're a birth professional seeking deeper understanding of client choices or someone navigating your own reproductive journey, this episode offers transformative insights into how we might create maternity systems that honour women's rights, identities, and autonomy.Ready to rethink how we support reproductive choices?

Ep 99 (http://ibit.ly/Re5V) Karen Yates on how dual qualified and rural midwifery demands different skills but offers unique rewards.@PhDMidwives #research #midwifery  #education  #dualqualified #rural #retirementtravelresearch link - ibit.ly/H5wrqWhat does it take to stay true to your passion while adapting to life's changing demands? In this enlightening conversation, recently retired midwifery academic Karen Yates shares her remarkable journey from accidental midwife to respected researcher and mentor.Karen's story begins unexpectedly in Darwin, where a brief student placement ignited a lifelong devotion to midwifery. After moving to Cairns, she navigated the challenges of the private healthcare system while raising young children, taking on night shifts that offered both family flexibility and greater clinical autonomy. Her gradual transition to education and research wasn't planned—it evolved organically from her interest in supporting midwives across Queensland's vast rural and remote communities.The heart of our discussion explores Karen's PhD journey, which examined rural midwives working across dual roles. Her findings revealed professionals who identified passionately as midwives but accepted nursing duties as the necessary compromise for maintaining their cherished rural lifestyles. What began as a workplace investigation became a profound exploration of professional identity and work-life priorities. Most remarkably, Karen completed this rigorous research while unexpectedly serving in a demanding leadership position, demonstrating extraordinary determination and focus.We also delve into how Queensland's rural midwifery landscape has transformed in recent years, with midwifery group practice models now established in areas where practitioners once couldn't imagine midwifery-only roles. Karen shares eye-opening stories about the stark differences between urban and rural practice, highlighting how simulation courses that deliberately mixed practitioners from different settings created powerful learning opportunities.Now enjoying retirement, Karen continues mentoring PhD students while embracing travel, family time, and theatrical adventures. Her practical wisdom about maintaining balance, pursuing passionate research, and valuing lived experience provides inspiration for midwives at all career stages. Whether you're considering postgraduate study, navigating multiple professional roles, or seeking greater work-life harmony, this conversation offers valuable insights from someone who's navigated the journey with humour, pragmatism and unwavering commitment to midwifery.

On Sunday we continued along inour Micah series, looking at 6:1-8. Inthis lawsuit dialogue, the Lord tries to see what caused the breakdown with their covenant. The people offer many things to set things right, all which miss the point. Micah famously then says what God truly wants is us to practice justice, promote hesed love and walk humbly with Him.

On Sunday we continued along inour Micah series, looking at 5:1-5. Inthis back and forth message of hope and doom, the prophet speaks of a day when Bethlehem will save all people. This is a theme picked up by Matthew as he writes about the birth of Christ.We as humans often think God only shows up in the mighty and the powerful, but the path of Jesus is one marked by simplicity, humility and welcoming in the least.

Theseverses 17-19, continue the confrontation that Jesus has on Tuesday of PassionWeek with the scribes, the priests, and the elders, just days before He iscrucified. Jesus has just finished telling a parable to the people that thesereligious leaders were also carefully listening to. It was the story of the ownerof a vineyard who finally sent his beloved son to receive the fruit, but he isrejected and killed by the vinedressers. They realize Jesus is claiming to bethe son in the story who is being rejected and killed.  NowJesus turns back from the crowd to these leaders of the Jews and speaks directlyto them and quoted Psalm 118:22. The rulers knew that this was a messianicpsalm, and they had heard some verse from this same psalm shouted by the crowdwhen Jesus rode into the city (compare Luke 19:38 with Ps. 118:26). By applyingthis verse to Himself, Jesus was clearly claiming to be the Messiah. The"builders who rejected the stone”, were of course, were the Jewishreligious leaders (Acts 4:11). Inthe Old Testament, the "stone" is a familiar symbol of God and of thepromised Messiah (see Gen. 49:24; Ex. 17:6; 33:22; Deut. 32:4, 15, 30-31; Isa.8:14; 28:16; 1 Cor. 10:4). Because the Jews did not believe, they stumbled overHim and were judged. Those who trust Jesus Christ find Him to be the foundationstone and the chief cornerstone of the church (1 Cor. 3:11; Eph. 2:20). ButJesus is also referring to Daniel 2:34-35, 44-45. This is where Daniel is interpretingthe dream of King Nebuchadnezzar where the Messiah is pictured as a"smiting stone" that crushes all that gets in its way. He was warningthe Sanhedrin that they would only destroy themselves if they condemned Him. Weneed to realized that this same principle applies today, and unbelievers shouldcarefully heed His warning. Youmight think about it this way. When the rulers rejected John the Baptist, theysinned against the Father who sent Him. When they crucified Jesus, they sinnedagainst the Son. Jesus had told them that they could sin against Him and stillbe forgiven, but when they sinned against the Holy Spirit, there could be noforgiveness (Matt. 12:24-37). Why? Because that was the end of God's witness tothe nation.  Thisis the so-called "unpardonable sin," and it was committed by theJewish leaders when they finally rejected the witness of the Spirit of Godthrough the Apostles. The evidence of their rejection was the stoning ofStephen (Acts 7:51-60). Then the Gospel went from the Jews to the Samaritans(Acts 8) and then to the Gentiles (Acts 10). Even today the Jewish people havea double veil over their eyes that keeps them from acknowledging that Jesus istheir promised Messiah (2 Corinthians 3:7-18).  Inthis parable of the vineyard and vinedressers who rejected the servants of theowner and kill his son, Jesus illustrated the insidious nature of sin: the morewe sin, the worse it becomes. The tenants started off beating some of theservants and wounding others, but they ended up becoming murderers! The Jewishleaders permitted John the Baptist to be killed, they asked for Jesus to becrucified, and then they themselves stoned Stephen. They sinned against theFather and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and that was the end of God's witnessto them. Itis a serious thing to reject the message of God and the messengers of God (seeJohn 12:35-43) Remember the warning we read in Hebrews 2:1-4; “For if the word spoken through angels proved steadfast, and everytransgression and disobedience received a just reward, how shall we escape ifwe neglect so great a salvation, which at the first began to be spoken by theLord, and was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,  Today,if the Holy Spirit is dealing with you heart about salvation or some sin inyour life, respond in humility and repentance, trusting and receiving theforgiveness that only Jesus can give you!

Some bearings are tough enough to survive 3000 horsepower, but that doesn't mean you should use them in your street build.Choosing the right bearing isn't as simple as just picking the toughest option and sometimes what seems like a part from 'the top shelf' can do more harm than good. In this interview, Christian from Nitto Performance Engineering breaks down some small but key differences between OEM-style bearings, ACL Race Series bearings, and coated bearings like those treated by Calico. While high-end coatings offer increased durability for extreme horsepower builds, they come with trade-offs in embeddability and long-term street reliability.Use ‘PODCAST75' for $75 off your first HPA course here: https://hpcdmy.co/hpa-tuned-inThis conversation clears up common misconceptions around bearing selection, including how coatings affect clearance, what embeddability actually does, and why some “race-spec” parts can do more harm than good in the wrong application. Christian explains that coatings like Calico are better suited to high-power engines with short service intervals, not long-life street builds.If you're chasing reliability and performance, this video will help you make an informed decision and avoid common (and expensive) bearing mistakes. Whether you're building a 3000hp drag monster or a 1000hp weekend car, it's about matching the component to your use case, not just chasing specs.
