In Get Well Soon: Week One, Pastor Aaron McRae unpacks what it truly means to experience lasting transformation through Jesus. While the world often offers band-aid solutions to deep pain, Jesus goes straight to the heart—because real change starts within.Through Mark 7 and other key scriptures, Pastor Aaron contrasts outward traditions with the inward renewal Jesus brings. He challenges us to stop focusing on appearances or quick fixes and instead allow Jesus to purify our hearts, where sin and brokenness originate. This message is for anyone longing for wholeness, healing, and hope that only Christ can give.Key ScripturesMark 7:1–23 – Jesus teaches that defilement comes from the heartMatthew 23 – Cleaning the inside firstActs 10 & 15 – God purifies hearts by faithRomans 1:21; 3:23–24; 6:23; 10:9–10 – The heart of the gospelPsalm 51:10 – “Create in me a pure heart”James 4:8 – Purify your heartsMark 12:30 – Love God with all your heartKey Resources & Quotes-The Relational Soul by Cofield & Plass — “Change is possible, but it is harder than we want and takes longer than we expect.”-M.

https://grandtheftworld.com/ 00:00:00 – Meeting Richard Grove Warm intro with Richard Grove: Pittsburgh roots, shoes and job-site footwear, then straight into Grove's history with John Taylor Gatto and how Gatto's ideas on schooling-as-indoctrination reshaped his worldview. Personal stories about helping Gatto after his stroke and preserving his work. 00:10:00 – Gatto's Legacy & Foundation Power Recap of Gatto resigning as NY Teacher of the Year; the Reese Committee, Norman Dodd, and how Carnegie/Rockefeller/Ford foundations nudged policy and education. Language, printing press, and information control as the real levers of power. 00:20:00 – Multi-Generational Networks Banks and industrialists funding both sides of conflicts; the supra-political layer above parties and nations. Grove demos his research “Brain” map and traces threads through RAND, CFR, common core authors, Rhodes scholars, and Anglo-American planning. 00:30:00 – Wilson's Warning & Debunking Debunkers Woodrow Wilson's “shadow power” passage and how quotes get straw-manned online. How “fact-checks” poison the well by refuting claims no one actually made—keeping the real discussion off-limits. 00:40:00 – Money, Markets, and the Trivium Goldbacks and parallel money at liberty festivals; why cartelized finance isn't “capitalism.” Education deliberately omits the Trivium (grammar → logic → rhetoric), creating literate but uncritical citizens. Reframing learning as input/process/output. 00:50:00 – Empire by Other Means UK DCDC future-war documents; the British Empire's evolution into a covert commonwealth model using U.S. power. Cecil Rhodes's plan to pull America back into the imperial fold via a cadre—seed of the Rhodes Scholarships. 01:00:00 – The Will of Rhodes Grove details Rhodes's will, the Rothschild link, and how Rhodes Scholars (Clinton, Talbott, etc.) shape U.S. institutions. “From cowboys to gentlemen”: reforming American attitudes to match British elite preferences. 01:10:00 – Occult, Culture, and Soft Power Fabian socialists, spiritualist circles, and mystery-school currents around British politics; cultural capture from lawns to the British Invasion. Occult motifs and “initiated” knowledge as social glue for elites. 01:20:00 – Becoming a Whistleblower Grove's Sarbanes–Oxley compliance work; discovering audit-trail backdoors that let firms erase records; pushback, retaliation, and years of litigation. How lived experience hardened his stance against institutional corruption. 01:30:00 – 9/11 Anomalies Deep Dive Pentagon inconsistencies, missing (orange) black boxes, and security-cam gaps; “Pilots for 9/11 Truth” (Rob Balsamo) analyses; the “dancing Israelis” arrest and quiet deportations. Media scripting vs. physics and flight-path questions; drills/foreknowledge discussions and why these details still matter. 01:40:00 – Epstein, Pizzagate & Media Lines They hash through the Epstein network and culture's selective outrage: UK's Savile cover-ups vs. U.S. media skittishness; social feed reactions; speculation about Trump's possible informant role; Clinton associations. The broader theme: blackmail, intelligence services, and why cases like these get memory-holed. 01:50:00 – Assange, Censorship & Platforms Assange's background and the years in the Ecuadorian embassy; intelligence community pressure and narrative-management. Broader talk on censorship, de-platforming, alt-video (e.g., Odysee), and keeping shows listener-supported. Tease for live podcasting and how/why independent media survives. 02:00:00 – Skills, Autonomy & Sign-Off Grove's path from 2006 podcasting to building communities and courses (AUTONOMY): teaching durable skills, critical thinking, and entrepreneurial value creation. Invitation to listeners: learn the method, find your people, make a meaningful living. Thanks and goodbyes.

In this episode, James dives into 2 Chronicles 30:1–9, 26–27 and King Hezekiah's call to return to the Lord. After God gave Hezekiah 15 more years of life, he used that time to bring God's people together in worship and repentance. James challenges listeners to move beyond religion, labels, and tradition, and to embrace true unity and relationship with Christ. Will you accept God's invitation to return, repent, and live for Him?

# Truth Worth Living: Embracing Ecclesiastes In today's session of Truth Worth Living, we delve into the profound and often misunderstood book of **Ecclesiastes**, a text that challenges our conventional pursuit of meaning and success. This session is part of our ongoing journey to understand God's word so we can live in His will. ## The Demotivational Parallel Pastor Chris begins by drawing a parallel between the satirical company Despair Inc. and the book of **Ecclesiastes**. Despair Inc. is known for its "demotivational" posters that cynically critique the motivational industry. These posters, with slogans like "None of us are as dumb as all of us" and "The purpose of your life is only to serve as a warning to others," humorously highlight the futility in certain pursuits. Similarly, **Ecclesiastes** is often seen as the "demotivational poster" of the Bible. It opens with stark declarations like **Ecclesiastes 1:2**: "Meaningless! Meaningless! says the Teacher. Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." Such statements seem to contradict the uplifting messages we typically expect from scripture. ## The Search for Meaning The core message of **Ecclesiastes** is a profound critique of our attempts to find fulfillment through worldly achievements. The Teacher, traditionally believed to be Solomon, explores various avenues such as intellectual pursuits, wealth, luxury, and politics, only to conclude that all are ultimately futile in the face of death. In **Ecclesiastes 2**, the Teacher reflects on the toil and anxiety of human labor: "What do people get for all the toil and anxious striving with which they labor under the sun? All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless." The book challenges the notion that success and accomplishments can provide lasting satisfaction. ## A Call to Fear God Despite its seemingly bleak outlook, **Ecclesiastes** offers a crucial lesson: the pursuit of worldly success is empty without a foundation in faith. The Teacher concludes his reflections in **Ecclesiastes 12:13-14**: "Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the duty of all mankind. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." This conclusion shifts the focus from human endeavors to a divine perspective, emphasizing the importance of living a life centered on God's commandments. ## An Invitation to Reflect Pastor Chris encourages us to read **Ecclesiastes** before the next session. This book, though challenging, is essential for today's culture as it exposes the fallacy of finding meaning in success alone. Instead, it invites us to ground our lives in the eternal truths of God's word. By embracing the lessons of **Ecclesiastes**, we can navigate the complexities of life with a deeper understanding of what truly matters. Join us next time as we continue to explore these timeless truths and their relevance to our daily lives. --- **Join the Conversation:** Share your thoughts and reflections on **Ecclesiastes** in the comments or with your small group. Let's journey together in discovering truth worth living.
Welcome to the very first episode of Lead with God! In this one, I'm sharing my full testimony — from spending over 10 years in New Age spirituality, working with different healing modalities, psychedelics, and constantly searching for my path… to finally being saved by Jesus. For those of you who followed my previous podcast, this might come as a surprise, since that was the space where I used to share all of these practices. But my heart for this new podcast is to bring you into my journey of how everything shifted, how God started moving in my life, and even how He began influencing the way I see business and leadership. My prayer is that by opening up about my story, you'll find encouragement for your own walk and see what's possible when we truly let God lead.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Lead with God Podcast02:07 Kamila's Journey from New Age to Christianity05:04 The Impact of Personal Experiences on Faith07:49 Transitioning from New Age to Business Mentoring10:38 Finding True Purpose and Identity in Christ12:52 The Role of Community and Church in Transformation15:49 Overcoming Resistance and Embracing Faith18:38 The Power of Surrender and Trusting God21:54 Experiencing Healing and Transformation24:35 Baptism and the New Identity in Christ27:55 Living a Life of Faith and Obedience30:43 Conclusion and Invitation to Join the Journey
We've started a new book: Isaiah. In Isaiah 1, the prophet explains Israel's heart problem, and what they need to do—or believe!—in order to fix it. Alex Duke, Jim Hamilton, and Sam Emadi discuss.

It's time to become who you were meant to be! Today, host Tina Yeager sits down with Sandra Allen Lovelace, a trauma-informed author, coach, and speaker who has spent over 50 years encouraging women in their Christian walk across five continents. Together, they dive into the powerful topic of embracing your true, God-designed self—why now is the time to step into your unique calling, and how trauma and everyday distractions can hold you back from living abundantly. Sandra shares her personal healing journey, practical steps to move forward, and strategies for connecting your mind, body, and spirit so you can finally flourish as the woman you were meant to be. Get ready to uncover your divine design and take actionable steps toward the abundant life God has in store! What You'll Discover: Why Now Is the Moment to Embrace Your Divine Design: Sandra reminds us that, “God is calling us forward at this time in history.” Whether you're wrestling with stress, expectations, or the aftermath of trauma, now is your time. Understanding Trauma: Trauma isn't just about big events. Sandra explains, “It can be too much, too fast, or too little for too long.” Even overlooked or normalized experiences can keep us from stepping fully into who we're meant to be. Simple Steps to Begin Healing & Flourishing: Sandra shares her “Four S's” formula—Start by noticing signals in your body and mind, locate where and when they happen, explore their source, and turn to Scripture for support. God-Care over Self-Care: It's about paying attention to body, mind, and spirit—not just ticking off self-care checklists, but partnering with God for true wholeness and peace. The Joy of Living Untethered: Imagine being released from anxiety and fear, able to rise freely into your calling, as Sandra describes so beautifully with her “red balloon” illustration. Sandra's Invitation to YOU: Sandra has a wealth of resources to support your journey. Check out her website (sandraallenlovelace.com), where you'll find practical tools, videos (especially on YouTube!), and ways to connect for coaching or encouragement. You can also find her on Facebook for weekly live videos on healing and purpose. A Final Word of Encouragement: “Awareness is God's invitation to new life,” Sandra says. God is looking for available, willing hearts—before perfect ones. Wherever you are on your journey, know that you are not alone and it is never too late to become who you were created to be. Let's step forward together into abundance, healing, and joy. We're thrilled to accompany you on this journey of faith, growth, and transformation. As always, we appreciate your support!

Happy 9-9! In numerology, the number 9 represents completion, but not finality--it's like the ending of one cycle and nearly the beginning of another. To me, it's like a portal... Come with me as we take advantage of this powerful moment on the cusp of leaping forward to take a magical pause.Our hectic world shoves us from one thing into another, and it's always asking "What's next?" Instead of responding, slow down--just like nature does. Reflect upon what's ending, what's ripening, and what blessings are falling around you during this harvest season.I invite you to make space today for a moment of reflection before whatever it is that's next for you. In the episode, you'll find resources to help you do this and a simple exercise you can do while listening to the episode (please don't do it while driving!).One of the best ways to regularly introduce rest and pause into your life is to move with nature's cycles. You don't need elaborate tools or even tons of time to connect regularly with your inner wisdom, nature and the magic around you. In fact, you can even start with the Book of Days I have created for September. Each week, you'll find simple, fun and magical exercises that strengthen your intuition and call for objects you can find around your home.LINKS MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The 4-week Wild Wisdom: Awakening Your Magic and Intuition course starts on October 1st!

They control the narrative in order to control you. What happens when you stop feeding the fear machine?In this raw, no-BS conversation, returning guest Ole Dammegård shares the biggest lessons from 40+ years down the “rabbit hole,” why he's stepped back from the noise, and how he now chooses to live: less screen, more heart, more nature, more courage. We get into fear programming, AI deepfakes, media choreography, saying NO without hate, and his new “light-minded” sanctuary project in Bali.If you're tired of panic headlines and ready to reclaim your attention, this one's for you.What you'll hear, from Ole's perspective:How fear is manufactured, and why he stopped trusting anything that arrives through a “smart” screenAuthority & algorithm “mind control” 101 (simple tools used daily, not sci-fi)From outrage to inner balance: living from heart, not headlinesCourage over compliance: the school-yard bully rule for geopoliticsWhy he's building Selalu (a sanctuary of light-minded friends) in Bali, and what “community without committees” looks like
This is a vulnerable episode for me to share, but it was very important to me to record and release this episode because it highlights something I don't think we see enough: people in positions of power, privilege or leadership openly receiving feedback. Janie Ganga is a yoga teacher I deeply admire and have worked closely with for nearly a decade. In May of this year, they reached out to tell me something I had posted on social media had upset and hurt them. (Here is the reel that started it all.) We've had several conversations about the situation since, and this episode is the culmination and public sharing of how we worked through that. Please listen, share it widely, and let us know how it lands with you. Janie Ganga (she/they) is an E-RYT 500 Yoga Teacher, social justice activist, and co-owner of Santosha Yoga, an online studio rooted in the Providence, RI community. Certified in I AM Yoga since 2013, Ganga specializes in Private Yoga, Yoga Nidra, and Let Your Yoga Dance, and is completing certification as a Yoga Therapist. Beyond the mat, Janie has organized queer community events for years – creating queer friendly femme-centered spaces in Boston with madFemmePride and co-leading the 2006 Transcending Boundaries Conference, which brought together activists for Transgender, Bisexual, Intersex, Polyamorous, and Kink Rights. As a Professional Member of ASDAH (Association for Size Diversity and Health), Janie is guided by Health at Every Size and is passionate about making yoga accessible to all bodies and identities.

Anne Lamott's son “called on” his mom after a transphobic tweet - Janie stumbled on this story after she questioned a colleague about sharing a Lamott's quote. Ganga discovered Lamott had publicly apologized, though the apology received little attention compared to the initial harm. Public Enemies, Private Friends - recommended by Janie's friend Marshall Miller, this documentary highlights dialogue between pro-choice and pro-life leaders in 1990s Boston. Accessible Yoga Podcast - hearing Jivana Heyman speak about his own activism and yoga inspired Janie to share her own perspective more openly. Ganga is deeply grateful to the colleagues and friends who supported their growth, including Stacy, Jyotika, Padma, Megha, her Anti-Racism for White Yoga Teachers book club, and all her students.

A very inspirational lesson that I connected with from John O'Leary (@johnoleary.inspires - On Instagram) or his website: https://johnolearyinspires.com/) he shared this post that came from his podcast episode yesterday - find it HERE, where he reminded us: “Today, I invite you to say yes to invitations and interruptions you may not have planned for. Because the real gift we bring for others isn't our resume, achievements, or awards. The real gift is our presence.” This got me thinking of so many things about me saying YES to more things that will benefit others along with myself. The other part I focused on with this episode was what John mentioned towards the end of the podcast. It's also about us saying NO to those things that distract us, that hold us back, our fears, those negative things around us, etc. To me, that is something that I need to do even more. Let me know how you connect with these things - especially after you listen to John O'Leary's podcast, episode 809. One last thing - PLEASE check out the movie about John's life and the lessons for all of us. Check out “Soul on Fire” when it comes out October 10. Here is the official trailer for the film.

Got a question? Let us know!This week on Made For Mondays we're kicking off our Open Invitation series by exploring what it really means to extend an invitation. From the barriers that hold us back (fear, time, not knowing what to say) to the simple yet powerful words, “come and see,” we unpack how God is already at work in people's lives long before we step in.Along the way, we share personal stories about the power of an invitation, dig into Nathanael's skepticism in John 1, and wrestle with how small steps of obedience can change eternal stories. Whether you're new to faith or just need encouragement to take that next step, this conversation is for you.
One invitation can unleash someone's God-given identity! In this message we discuss the importance of pointing people to Jesus and abiding with them.

Message from Matt Ham on September 7, 2025
Steve Hoese's Message in Sunday September 7th session one.
A conversation about imagination as essential aliveness—and how treating life as purely literal diminishes our humanity. A great human power lies in choosing which story we live from, recognising that even dead ends become part of a larger narrative of redemption. What would change if we approached each day wondering along which secret aqueduct new life might be flowing toward us? This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Embracing Life's Multitudes 02:56 Gathering in Community 05:50 Machado's Poem Last Night as I Was Sleeping 08:58 Imagining New Possibilities 11:59 Turning Towards Joy and Failure 14:53 The Imaginative Act of Being Human 17:47 Finding Connection in Shared Experiences 20:50 The Invitation to Storytelling 23:45 Practicing Presence and Openness Here's our source for this week: Last night, as I was sleeping Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt -- marvellous error!— that a spring was breaking out in my heart. I said: Along which secret aqueduct, Oh water, are you coming to me, water of a new life that I have never drunk? Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt -- marvellous error!— that I had a beehive here inside my heart. And the golden bees were making white combs and sweet honey from my old failures. Last night, as I was sleeping, I dreamt -- marvellous error!— that a fiery sun was giving light inside my heart. It was fiery because I felt warmth as from a hearth, and sun because it gave light and brought tears to my eyes. Last night, as I slept, I dreamt -- marvellous error!— that it was God I had here inside my heart.

Pastor Jim reflects on Jesus' invitation to “Come and see” in John 1:35–51, emphasizing that God is not a platform, performance, or political position, but a person who invites us into relationship. He explores how the first disciples, ordinary people seeking approval, security, and significance, were met by Jesus not with demands but with an invitation. Through vivid storytelling and personal reflection, Jim reveals how Jesus continues to invite us to journey with Him, revealing both God's identity and our own. Regardless of our skepticism, search, or seasoned faith, the call remains the same: come, follow, and be transformed.
We launch our new ministry year with a Day of Prayer!A time to hunger for more of God’s presence. Eager to take His invitation to walk with Him.Ready to give declaration that life with Him is greater than anything else.We're celebrating the joy that comes from walking in His presence..asking God to do more than we could imagine as we pursue deeper intimacy with Him.

One of the most neglected books of the Bible is the Song of Songs. It is full of sensual imagery, and most people just don't know what to do with that. But through this intimate love song between a husband and wife, God has profound things to tell us about Himself. The Song of Songs is meant to awaken in us a longing for a love greater than what even the best human romance can offer. The intimacy of Christ that our souls were made to enjoy. Join us as we kick this series off and consider if there might be more to God than you thought possible.
David concludes his applications with strong contrasts and earnest exhortations. Having first set out the reality of true happiness in his conclusion, and then pressed it home by way of personal illustration, he reminds us here of the sorrows of the wicked, the many, certain, and deserved plagues and pains of the unrepentant rebel. The different comes not from favour earned but from faith's reward, for the sinner must trust in the Lord to receive the undeserved kindnesses he holds out. Such a believer is surrounded by divine mercy, giving him cause to rejoice now and always. True sorrow over sin which leads to repentance brings the believer into the joy of salvation, but the sorrows of the wicked do not end.

Broadcasting from Florence and Los Angeles, I Had One of Those Conversations...You know the kind—where you start discussing one thing and suddenly realize you're mapping the entire landscape of how different societies approach technology. That's exactly what happened when Rob Black and I connected across the Atlantic for the pilot episode of ITSPmagazine Europe: The Transatlantic Broadcast.Rob was calling from what he optimistically described as "sunny" West Sussex (complete with biblical downpours and Four Seasons weather in one afternoon), while I enjoyed actual California sunshine. But this geographic distance perfectly captured what we were launching: a genuine exploration of how European perspectives on cybersecurity, technology, and society differ from—and complement—American approaches.The conversation emerged from something we'd discovered at InfoSecurity Europe earlier this year. After recording several episodes together with Sean Martin, we realized we'd stumbled onto something crucial: most global technology discourse happens through an American lens, even when discussing fundamentally European challenges. Digital sovereignty isn't just a policy buzzword in Brussels—it represents a completely different philosophy about how democratic societies should interact with technology.Rob Black: Bridging Defense Research and Digital RealityRob brings credentials that perfectly embody the European approach to cybersecurity—one that integrates geopolitics, human sciences, and operational reality in ways that purely technical perspectives miss. As UK Cyber Citizen of the Year 2024, he's recognized for contributions that span UK Ministry of Defense research on human elements in cyber operations, international relations theory, and hands-on work with university students developing next-generation cybersecurity leadership skills.But what struck me during our pilot wasn't his impressive background—it was his ability to connect macro-level geopolitical cyber operations with the daily impossible decisions that Chief Information Security Officers across Europe face. These leaders don't see themselves as combatants in a digital war, but they're absolutely operating on front lines where nation-state actors, criminal enterprises, and hybrid threats converge.Rob's international relations expertise adds crucial context that American cybersecurity discourse often overlooks. We're witnessing cyber operations as extensions of statecraft—the ongoing conflict in Ukraine demonstrates how narrative battles and digital infrastructure attacks interweave with kinetic warfare. European nations are developing their own approaches to cyber deterrence, often fundamentally different from American strategies.European Values Embedded in Technology ChoicesWhat emerged from our conversation was something I've observed but rarely heard articulated so clearly: Europe approaches technology governance through distinctly different cultural and philosophical frameworks than America. This isn't just about regulation—though the EU's leadership from GDPR through the AI Act certainly shapes global standards. It's about fundamental values embedded in technological choices.Rob highlighted algorithmic bias as a perfect example. When AI systems are developed primarily in Silicon Valley, they embed specific cultural assumptions and training data that may not reflect European experiences, values, or diverse linguistic traditions. The implications cascade across everything from hiring algorithms to content moderation to criminal justice applications.We discussed how this connects to broader patterns of technological adoption. I'd recently written about how the transistor radio revolution of the 1960s paralleled today's smartphone-driven transformation—both technologies were designed for specific purposes but adopted by users in ways inventors never anticipated. The transistor radio became a tool of cultural rebellion; smartphones became instruments of both connection and surveillance.But here's what's different now: the stakes are global, the pace is accelerated, and the platforms are controlled by a handful of American and Chinese companies. European voices in these conversations aren't just valuable—they're essential for understanding how different democratic societies can maintain their values while embracing technological transformation.The Sociological Dimensions Technology Discourse MissesMy background in political science and sociology of communication keeps pulling me toward questions that pure technologists might skip: How do different European cultures interpret privacy rights differently? Why do Nordic countries approach digital government services so differently than Mediterranean nations? What happens when AI training data reflects primarily Anglo-American cultural assumptions but gets deployed across 27 EU member states with distinct languages and traditions?Rob's perspective adds the geopolitical layer that's often missing from cybersecurity conversations. We're not just discussing technical vulnerabilities—we're examining how different societies organize themselves digitally, how they balance individual privacy against collective security, and how they maintain democratic values while defending against authoritarian digital influence operations.Perhaps most importantly, we're both convinced that the next generation of European cybersecurity leaders needs fundamentally different skills than previous generations. Technical expertise remains crucial, but they also need to communicate complex risks to non-technical decision-makers, operate comfortably with uncertainty rather than seeking perfect solutions, and understand that cybersecurity decisions are ultimately political decisions about what kind of society we want to maintain.Why European Perspectives Matter GloballyEurope represents 27 different nations with distinct histories, languages, and approaches to technology governance, yet they're increasingly coordinating digital policies through EU frameworks. This complexity is fascinating and the implications are global. When Europe implements new AI regulations or data protection standards, Silicon Valley adjusts its practices worldwide.But European perspectives are too often filtered through American media or reduced to regulatory footnotes in technology publications. We wanted to create space for European voices to explain their approaches in their own terms—not as responses to American innovation, but as distinct philosophical and practical approaches to technology's role in democratic society.Rob pointed out something crucial during our conversation: we're living through a moment where "every concept that we've thought about in terms of how humans react to each other and how they react to the world around them now needs to be reconsidered in light of how humans react through a computer mediated existence." This isn't abstract philosophizing—it's the practical challenge facing policymakers, educators, and security professionals across Europe.Building Transatlantic Understanding, Not DivisionThe "Transatlantic Broadcast" name reflects our core mission: connecting perspectives across borders rather than reinforcing them. Technology challenges—from cybersecurity threats to AI governance to digital rights—don't respect national boundaries. Solutions require understanding how different democratic societies approach these challenges while maintaining their distinct values and traditions.Rob and I come from different backgrounds—his focused on defense research and international relations, mine on communication theory and sociological analysis—but we share curiosity about how technology shapes society and how society shapes technology in return. Sean Martin brings the American cybersecurity industry perspective that completes our analytical triangle.Cross-Border Collaboration for European Digital FutureThis pilot episode represents just the beginning of what we hope becomes a sustained conversation. We're planning discussions with European academics developing new frameworks for digital rights, policymakers implementing AI governance across member states, industry leaders building privacy-first alternatives to Silicon Valley platforms, and civil society advocates working to ensure technology serves democratic values.We want to understand how digital transformation looks different across European cultures, how regulatory approaches evolve through multi-stakeholder processes, and how European innovation develops characteristics that reflect distinctly European values and approaches to technological development.The Invitation to Continue This ConversationBroadcasting from our respective sides of the Atlantic, we're extending an invitation to join this ongoing dialogue. Whether you're developing cybersecurity policy in Brussels, building startups in Berlin, teaching digital literacy in Barcelona, or researching AI ethics in Amsterdam, your perspective contributes to understanding how democratic societies can thrive in an increasingly digital world.European voices aren't afterthoughts in global technology discourse—they're fundamental contributors to understanding how diverse democratic societies can maintain their values while embracing technological change. This conversation needs academic researchers, policy practitioners, industry innovators, and engaged citizens from across Europe and beyond.If this resonates with your own observations about technology's role in society, subscribe to follow our journey as we explore these themes with guests from across Europe and the transatlantic technology community.And if you want to dig deeper into these questions or share your own perspective on European approaches to cybersecurity and technology governance, I'd love to continue the conversation directly.
