Dans ce nouveau numéro d'IDÉES, Pierre-Édouard Deldique invite Anne Alombert, maître de conférence en Philosophie contemporaine à l'Université Paris 8, membre du Conseil National du Numérique, afin d'évoquer la mémoire de Bernard Stiegler, un des grands penseurs de la technique. Dans : Penser avec Bernard Stiegler (PUF), la philosophe - dont les travaux portent sur les rapports entre vie, techniques et esprit dans la philosophie ainsi que sur les enjeux anthropologiques, sociaux et politiques des technologies numériques et de l'intelligence artificielle - propose une plongée dans l'univers intellectuel de ce philosophe majeur à l'immense curiosité. Ce livre nous aide à comprendre comment la technique transforme notre manière de penser. Pour Stiegler, un intellectuel hors normes, les outils technologiques — que ce soit l'écriture, la télévision ou les smartphones — ne sont jamais neutres. Ils façonnent nos mémoires, nos comportements et même notre attention. Il parle de « pharmakon », un mot grec qui désigne à la fois le poison et le remède. Mais Bernard Stiegler ne se contente pas de critiquer : il propose une alternative : l'économie contributive. L'idée, c'est de favoriser le partage des savoirs, le temps long, l'engagement citoyen. Redonner du pouvoir à la pensée, pour qu'elle agisse sur le monde. Ce qui est remarquable dans ce livre, c'est que l'autrice ne nous dit pas simplement «voici ce que Stiegler pense» — elle nous invite à penser avec lui. À prolonger ses idées, à les mettre en pratique face aux défis actuels : l'intelligence artificielle, l'éducation, la transition écologique… En résumé, Penser avec Bernard Stiegler est un appel à faire de la philosophie une pratique vivante. Une manière de résister à l'abêtissement numérique, de reconstruire des sociétés fondées sur le désir de savoir, le soin de l'autre et l'invention collective.

What happens when we allow ourselves to truly feel the reality that we will grow old, become ill, and die? How might we practice treating our deepest fears not as enemies but as intimate companions? The recognition that these experiences unite us with every other human being who has ever lived offers a pathway from aloneness into a more genuine and heartfelt connection with others. And when we stop running from what we cannot escape,  we might get in contact with a very strong feeling of the realness and aliveness of being alive. This week's conversation is hosted, as always, by Lizzie Winn and Justin Wise of Thirdspace. Episode Overview 00:00 Introduction, Welcome, and Turning Towards Life Live 04:55 The Importance of Finding One's Voice 08:17 Engaging with Deep Questions 10:51 Confronting Fear and Acceptance 19:00 Self-Remembrance and Aliveness 25:08 The Shared Human Experience 35:07 Conclusion and Invitation to Community Here's our source for this week: Facing Fear I am of the nature to grow old. I cannot escape growing old. I am of the nature to have ill health. I cannot escape having ill health. I am of the nature to die. I cannot escape death. All that is dear to me, and everyone I love, are of the nature to change. There is no way to escape being separated from them… Looking deeply at each remembrance and breathing in and out with our awareness of each one, we engage our fear in an empowered way… Most of us don't want to acknowledge it, so we live more or less in denial. Yet down deep in the recesses of our minds, we know it's true. When we suppress our fearful thoughts, they continue to fester there in the dark. We are driven to consume in an attempt to forget and keep those thoughts from surfacing in our conscious mind. Running away from our fear ultimately makes us suffer and makes others suffer, and our fear only grows stronger… Invite your fear into consciousness, and smile through it; every time you smile through your fear, it will lose some of its strength. If you try to run away from your pain, there is no way out... We must invite these things up into our mind consciousness every day and tell them, “My dear, I'm not afraid of you. I'm not afraid of my fear. It is my nature to grow old; I cannot escape old age.” When fear manifests, we want to have the seed of mindfulness also manifest to embrace it. So we have two energies present—the first is the energy of fear, and the second is the energy of mindfulness. The fear receives a bath of mindfulness and becomes a little bit weaker before it drops back down to the depths of our consciousness in the form of a seed.

In this episode of Home Business Profits, Ray Higdon explores how to build confidence in sales by taking action and cultivating courage. He explains that confidence is a result of consistent effort and practice, not a pre-existing trait. Ray emphasizes the importance of reach-outs and prospecting over passive marketing for building sales confidence. He shares personal experiences and practical examples, urging listeners to focus on direct actions, such as asking prospects about their interest in products or services. Ray also integrates faith principles and discusses his book, Faith Driven Wealth, which helps in identifying an anointed brand. For additional resources, he offers a cold market reach-out system and encourages listeners to read specific chapters of his book. ——

Waiting for a PA school interview invite before prepping? Big mistake. In this episode, we're breaking down the most common and high-yield questions you need to start practicing now—plus tips to stand out, sound confident, and avoid the rambling panic spiral._____________________

In this episode, I break down why doing a mid-year business review isn't just a good idea—it's essential if you want to finish 2025 strong. I've worked with thousands of advisors over the years, and one thing is clear: the most successful ones take time to stop, assess, and adjust. That's what this mid-year check-in is all about—figuring out what's working, what's not, and making smart, strategic moves for the next six months.

In this episode, we're digging into the second pillar of the Army's leadership model: KNOW. Now, this isn't just military theory—it's a practical reminder that leadership isn't about winging it. It's about showing up prepared, grounded, and equipped. Whether you're in uniform, running a business, or leading in your home, the principles are the same. Leadership starts with who you are—your character, your values. That's the BE. But once you've got that foundation, you need to sharpen what you KNOW—the skills and knowledge that make you credible and effective. This is where competence is built, and trust is earned. To master the “KNOW” side of leadership, you've got to build in four key areas: Interpersonal, Conceptual, Technical, and Tactical skills. These aren't just categories—they're tools you carry every day. They help you lead with clarity, confidence, and relevance in a fast-changing world. Let's break them down. At the heart of leadership is the ability to connect with people. I'm talking about real connection—not just giving orders or checking boxes. This means listening, asking the right questions, and learning what drives the people around you. If you want to build trust, get out of your office. Walk the floor. Ask your team what matters to them, how their job fits into the bigger picture, and what gets them fired up—or frustrated. People aren't problems to be solved—they're relationships to be built. And those relationships? They're your force multipliers. Leadership is a thinking game. It requires mental agility—being able to step back, look at the big picture, and make sense of complex, high-stress situations. This includes critical thinking—spotting your own blind spots and questioning your assumptions. It's creative thinking—asking, “What if we did this differently?” And it's sound judgment—the ability to make the hard calls when the pressure's on. No amount of skill can replace the power of good judgment forged through reflection and experience. You don't need to do everyone's job—but you do need to understand it. You should know the systems, tools, and processes your team relies on. If you're leading a creative team, learn the basics of the software they use. If you oversee logistics, understand how the supply chain actually moves. When you understand the tools, you earn credibility. And more importantly, you can make better decisions. This technical foundation strengthens your tactical edge. This is where the rubber meets the road—decision-making in real time, under pressure. Tactical leadership isn't theory—it's action. It's knowing how to move when the path isn't clear and making calls when there's no time to phone a friend. The best way to build tactical skill is through experience—real or simulated. Get into environments where the stakes are high. Test yourself. Learn what it feels like to make decisions when everything's on the line. Over time, you'll start recognizing patterns, trusting your instincts, and leading with confidence—even in chaos. Here's the deal: competence grows with responsibility. The more people you lead, the more sharpened your skills need to be. You don't “arrive” as a leader—you keep growing. So how do you build that growth into your life? Try this: Seek Feedback – Don't lead in isolation. Invite input. Ask people you trust, “Where can I grow?” Study and Reflect – Make reflection a daily practice. Think through decisions. Learn from outcomes. Master the Tools – Learn your trade. Stay sharp. Stay relevant. Train Under Pressure – Volunteer for the hard things. Get comfortable being uncomfortable. Leadership is preparation. It's not just about knowing what to do—it's about being the kind of leader who's ready when it counts. When you combine who you are with what you know, you build trust. And when people trust you, they'll follow you—even when the way forward isn't clear. So focus on your KNOW. Stay a student. Keep sharpening your edge. Because leadership isn't about being perfect—it's about showing up ready, reliable, and real.   Connect with Tim: Website: timstatingtheobvious.com Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/timstatingtheobvious Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHfDcITKUdniO8R3RP0lvdw  Instagram: @TimStating Tiktok: @timstatingtheobvious   00:00 Introduction to Leadership Framework 01:06 Understanding the ‘Know' Phase 02:58 Interpersonal Skills: Building Connections 04:41 Conceptual Skills: Critical Thinking and Creativity 06:47 Technical Skills: Mastering Your Tools 08:03 Tactical Skills: Decision-Making Under Pressure 09:49 Practical Steps to Enhance Leadership Skills 12:25 The Importance of Preparation in Leadership #LeadershipDevelopment #ArmyLeadership #LeadershipSkills #ProfessionalGrowth #CareerDevelopment #CriticalThinking #CommunicationSkills #DecisionMaking #PersonalDevelopment #TimStatonTheObvious

Like many other retailers, Bookshop.org holds a sale to coincide with Amazon's big event — it's a way to lure away consumers.

You've been taught vulnerability is strength, but what if that's half the truth—and it's costing you more than you realize? This week, DawnCheré Wilkerson joins me to dismantle the hidden toll of isolation. She shares how walking through infertility, life's furnace, and unsurfaced grief fractures the soul, and how secrets rob you of belonging before you even realize it. DawnCheré exposes why vulnerability isn't a spotlight; it's a sanctuary that demands integrity. She unpacks the orphan spirit every believer must resist, warns against idolizing therapy as the endpoint, and offers a path forward: a refusal to run, safety in community, and the spiritual grit to stay alive. If you're tired of pretending you're fine…if your pain feels invisible…and if you've mistaken therapy for healing, this episode is your call to come home.

Wednesday 7/9/25

Once in Detroit, Michigan, there was a large assembly of devotees. 99.9% of them were brahmacārīs, because that's what the constitution of ISKCON used to be. There were a couple of householders here and there; they were outliers. And there was this very sincere man who was sitting amidst a sea of brahmacārīs. He wasn't a brahmacārī; he had a house outside, which was also an astounding achievement at that time, it wasn't an achievement, but it was looked at like, "Ooh, you live outside, poor person." And this man, in a very humble, sheepish way, said to Śrīla Prabhupāda, "But you know, I have my three children, and I live outside. And what can I do?" And Prabhupāda said, "This temple is made of brick and stone, and your house is made of brick and stone." He said, "In the temple, the business is serving Kṛṣṇa. If, in your house, you serve Kṛṣṇa, no difference." That was a revelation to everyone present: no difference. But this is the genius of the process given by Śrī Caitanya Mahāprabhu and the Goswamis. It covers all aspects of our lives, and it covers the different eras of our lives, and gives us a comfortable slot that we can adhere to during our youth, during our adolescence, during our middle age, during old age, and so forth, so that we can always remember Kṛṣṇa. And one of the most important ways of doing it is to have the image of Kṛṣṇa in one's house. As Kṛṣṇa describes, the deity form of the Lord can be worshiped in many ways, in paint. In other words, if you have a painting of Kṛṣṇa, like the Pañca-tattva, you can worship that. In fact, that's how Prabhupāda started all his temples, with pictures of Pañca-tattva. Still some of them around, those original paintings. He had them. He commissioned them, so each temple that opened would have a painted picture of Pañca-tattva. If you do that, Prabhupāda writes in one of his purports, you won't want for anything. You'll have all the mercy of Kṛṣṇa through the Pañca-tattva. ------------------------------------------------------------ To connect with His Grace Vaiśeṣika Dāsa, please visit https://www.fanthespark.com/next-steps/ask-vaisesika-dasa/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Add to your wisdom literature collection: https://iskconsv.com/book-store/ https://www.bbtacademic.com/books/ https://thefourquestionsbook.com/ ------------------------------------------------------------ Join us live on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/FanTheSpark/ Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/sound-bhakti/id1132423868 For the latest videos, subscribe https://www.youtube.com/@FanTheSpark For the latest in SoundCloud: https://soundcloud.com/fan-the-spark ------------------------------------------------------------ #spiritualawakening #soul #spiritualexperience #spiritualpurposeoflife #spiritualgrowthlessons #secretsofspirituality #vaisesikaprabhu #vaisesikadasa #vaisesikaprabhulectures #spirituality #bhaktiyoga #krishna #spiritualpurposeoflife #krishnaspirituality #spiritualusachannel #whybhaktiisimportant #whyspiritualityisimportant #vaisesika #spiritualconnection #thepowerofspiritualstudy #selfrealization #spirituallectures #spiritualstudy #spiritualquestions #spiritualquestionsanswered #trendingspiritualtopics #fanthespark #spiritualpowerofmeditation #spiritualteachersonyoutube #spiritualhabits #spiritualclarity #bhagavadgita #srimadbhagavatam #spiritualbeings #kttvg #keepthetranscendentalvibrationgoing #spiritualpurpose

Lindsay is back for this round of FAQ where we look at:  Does anything actually increase metabolism (Spoiler: yes!) What should I eat before a really early morning workout? Do I have to add in exercise to achieve my goals?  Are there other ways? What exactly is 'energy expenditure'?   Sing up for the Backcountry Nutrition QA&- happening July 16th, 2025 at 7p MST).  

Psalm 139:1-5 NLTO Lord, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do. You know what I am going to say even before I say it, Lord. You go before me and follow me. You place your hand of blessing on my head.Living within the care and community of God means that He sees every aspect of who we are. What we do and what we don't. What we say and what we won't. From our hearts to our homes. From our ways to our work. No matter where we go, He is there. Aware. Available. Active.Can you sense God's presence everywhere in your life?Listen to the shepherd, king, and psalmist David's words again this time from the Message Bible:God, I'm an open book to you; even from a distance, you know what I'm thinking. You know when I leave and when I get back; I'm never out of your sight. You know everything I'm going to say before I start the first sentence.… I look behind me and you're there, then up ahead and you're there, too— your reassuring presence, coming and going.Take a moment to reflect on the last verse: “your reassuring presence, coming and going..” Invite … allow … accept … feel … the Lord's presence on you right now—for no reason other than to bless you.Let's pray together: “Thank You, Father, that You know me intimately. My heart. My words. My actions. Everything I do and everywhere I go, You watch over me. Thank You for your blessing today. May my life bless You. As above, so below.”

Are your donor relationships thriving—or just surviving?Most nonprofits rely on mass emails and generic updates—then wonder why major donors disappear.Here's the truth:Connection isn't about the channel.It's about intentionality..After 30+ years in fundraising, I've learned what actually works in a digital world:→ Personalize every touchpoint.“Dear Friend” won't cut it. Use your CRM to reference gifts, interests, and conversations.→ Show impact with stories & visuals.A quick video tour or photo diary is more memorable than a spreadsheet.→ Automate routine, but keep it human.Tools like ThankView free you up for real conversations—not replace them.→ Make giving frictionless.Test your donation process. If it's clunky, fix it—fast.→ Invite two-way engagement.Host virtual coffees, send surveys, and ask for feedback. Donors want to be heard.TL;DR: Tech will keep evolving, but authentic connection is the real differentiator.How are you making your major donors feel truly seen in a digital age?Listen to the full episode.Resources: Show notes, links, and resources mentioned in this episode.Review my show: Please review my show.

Still stuck in the same classroom setup year after year? You're not alone. Too many classrooms signal teacher control before a single word is spoken—and that design choice shapes everything about how students engage. In this episode, I take you inside the transformation of an old office into a vibrant Montessori adolescent hub—and unpack what it means to move from “classroom” to “co-working space.” You'll learn how even small space shifts can foster agency, collaboration, and creative thinking. You'll discover: Why subtracting furniture may be the boldest design move you make How to create learning “zones” for different kinds of student work Why your teacher desk might be sending the wrong message How co-working models can inspire fluid, student-led learning Practical design tweaks—from flexible seating to portable whiteboards—that invite movement and autonomy Whether you're working with a blank slate or reimagining a familiar room, this episode gives you the mindset and strategies to build a learning environment that empowers—not controls—your students.

In this episode of 'Home Business Profits,' Ray Higdon discusses the critical reasons why social media posts may not be getting the desired results. Ray outlines three key issues: inconsistency in posting, lack of purpose, and being overly sales-focused. He emphasizes the importance of posting regularly, adding value beyond inspirational quotes, and avoiding posts that only push for sales. Rather than leading with sales, Ray suggests providing valuable information to generate leads and build a substantial following. He offers practical advice and steps to improve posting strategies, from generating leads to connecting with and understanding the needs of followers. ——

“The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception.” — Proverbs 14:8Today, we're continuing our series on temperaments—how our God-given wiring shapes the way we communicate, relate to others, and make financial decisions. Kathleen Edelman is back with us, joined by Rachel Petty, as we take a closer look at the Green temperament and how it influences our approach to money.Kathleen Edelman is the author of I Said This, You Heard That: How Your Wiring Colors Your Communication. She is certified in Biblical Studies and Christian Counseling Psychology and has spent over 30 years coaching clients in the art of effective communication.Rachel Petty is a valued member of Kathleen Edelman's team and is our Green Temperament representative for this episode. What Are the Four Temperaments?The concept of temperaments dates back to Hippocrates, whom Galen followed in naming the four temperaments. Each temperament is a wiring we're born with—more like eye color than personality—and it shapes how we communicate, relate, and even handle money. The four types are:Yellow (Sanguine): Extrovert, people-oriented; speaks the language of people and fun.Red (Choleric): Extrovert, task-oriented; speaks the language of power and control.Blue (Melancholic): Introvert, task-oriented; speaks the language of perfection and order.Green (Phlegmatic): Introvert, people-oriented; speaks the language of calm and harmony.Temperament is your innate wiring. Personality develops through life experiences, but temperament remains relatively consistent.Meet the Green: Introverted and People-OrientedGreens are known as “relationship glue”—calm in chaos, steady in presence, and always people-conscious. They're inward processors, but also deeply relational.They are drawn to budgeting with others and long-term planning. They don't like flashy risks or micromanaging. They prefer round numbers and fewer check-ins.Because Greens crave harmony, they might avoid financial conflict or decisions altogether. But with gentle encouragement and time, they become wise and thoughtful stewards.Strategies That HelpRachel offers practical tools for those who fall under the Green category or know somebody who does:Stay involved. Greens can sometimes disengage easily. It's a discipline to speak up.Name what matters. Clarifying what's most important—whether for a trip or a purchase—helps prioritize.Set deadlines. It gives them the gentle nudge that action is needed.Greens thrive when respected and heard. Their insights are valuable—they just need time and space to process them fully.However, don't pressure a Green. Invite them in gently and clearly. They want to contribute—they just need the right environment.The Innate Needs of a GreenAccording to Kathleen, Greens have four core needs:Harmony – a peaceful environment.Lack of Stress – minimal conflict.Feeling of Worth – appreciation for who they are.Respect – being asked for their input.When these needs are met, Greens are kind, steady, and confident. When ignored, they may retreat or procrastinate.For those in the Green category, take the time to understand what matters to you and lean into your steady nature. And for those in a relationship with a Green—give them time, space, and encouragement. There's more going on than you might see.And remember this: if you are a Green, your calm is a gift.

Teacher: Adam Barnett When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; but each person is tempted when they are dragged away by their own evil desire and enticed. Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is full-grown, gives birth to death.  - James 1:13-15 One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, “She is Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite. Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (Now she was purifying herself from her monthly uncleanness.) Then she went back home.  - 2 Samuel 11:2-4 “Satan does not fill us with hatred of God, but with forgetfulness of God.”  - Dietrich Bonhoeffer The woman conceived and sent word to David, saying, “I am pregnant.”  - 2 Samuel 11:5 When Uriah's wife heard that her husband was dead, she mourned for him. After the time of mourning was over, David had her brought to his house, and she became his wife and bore him a son. But the thing David had done displeased the Lord.  – 2 Samuel 11:26-27 1 - Idleness opens the door to temptation. So, if you think you are standing firm, be careful that you don't fall!  - 1 Corinthians 10:12 2 - Sin should be confessed, not covered up. If we confess our sins, **he is faithful and just** and will **forgive us our sins** and **purify us** from all unrighteousness.  – 1 John 1:9 Whoever conceals their sins does not prosper, but the one who confesses and renounces them **finds mercy**.  – Proverbs 28:13 Then I acknowledged my sin to you and did not cover up my iniquity. I said, “I will confess my transgressions to the Lord.” And you **forgave the guilt of my sin**.  – Psalm 32:5 3 - Invite the accountability of trusted friends.

You've been told therapy is the answer to everything. That if you just unpack hard enough, you'll finally be free. But what if that's not the full story? This week, Terry Crist joins me to challenge beliefs that cause deeper destruction. He's seen how long-standing secrets fracture the soul, how the orphan spirit grows in Christian homes, and how many believers never outgrow wounded identity, even into legacy years. In this conversation, Terry decodes why running away from truth never works, how idolizing therapy can drain godly authority, and why healing is never finished, even if you've been in the room for decades. He brings the fight where healing meets holiness, and shows how to refuse lie-lay, stop hiding, and step into belonging. If you've ever carried a secret, felt disconnected in the Church, or believed your wounds had an expiry date, you need to hear this episode.

In this episode of the Summer Q&A Series, Nicole responds to a powerful and timely question:“What happens when we dehumanize others, and what might we be avoiding in ourselves when we do it?” Rooted in Scripture and shaped by years of teaching and discipleship, Nicole explores how dehumanization—both subtle and overt—can reveal deeper emotional and spiritual struggles, particularly among women. Through biblical reflection and honest personal insights, she identifies three key areas often lurking beneath this behavior: fear, anger, and pride. Listeners will walk away challenged and encouraged to reexamine how they view others—and how they might bring hidden heart issues before God for healing and transformation. Main Takeaways Dehumanization is subtle but dangerous: We often strip others of their God-given dignity by grouping them into labels, roles, or categories. Words carry weight: Name-calling and group labels are not just emotional reactions—they violate the biblical truth that every person bears the image of God. Why we dehumanize: It's often an avoidance tactic for deeper emotional realities. Three Common Roots Behind Dehumanization in Women: Fear – Of being wrong, hurt, rejected, or vulnerable Anger – Especially unspoken or culturally suppressed anger Pride – The insidious belief that we know best, or can determine what's fair or right outside of God The Bible’s Response: God calls us back to humility, self-examination, and compassion. Transformation starts with asking God to search our hearts (Psalm 139). Bible Verse References Genesis 1:27 – “God created mankind in His own image…” Psalm 139:13–14 – “You knit me together in my mother’s womb…” Jeremiah 2:13 – God describes forsaking Him as abandoning living water Jeremiah 17:9 – “The heart is deceitful above all things…” Psalm 139:23–24 – “Search me, God, and know my heart…” Calls to Action (CTAs) Subscribe to How to Study the Bible to follow the rest of the Summer Q&A Series.
