The sin and trespass offerings were God's dispensation in the Old Testament to address the people's fallen condition, our need for purification, and the individual acts of wrongdoing that are the fruit of this condition. But as with all the other offerings, they were shadows and types pointing to Christ. God had Christ in mind from the beginning, and because of His sacrifice, we have a new dispensation if we trust in Him and the efficacy of His finished work.

The peace offering symbolized God's provision for mankind to have communion and fellowship with Him. It had to come after the burnt and meal offerings so that we could first understand what Christ had to do before we could even have fellowship with God. Most people do not have the mindset of the peace offering when they give, thinking they have no responsibilities; it gives God joy when we willingly stay to have communion with Him after we've done our stewardship duties.

Looking at the symbolism of the meat offering helps us to understand the "how" of Colossians 2:14 how Christ blotted out the handwriting of ordinances and nailed them to His cross, and how we being in Christ's finished work are no longer under the law but free in Christ, and free to worship Him!

The Old and New Testaments have to be understood as one continuous narrative of God's unfolding plan of redemption for fallen humanity. There are many shadows and types that point to Christ and reveal the order in which things had to happen for us to be redeemed. The offerings lay out what Christ had to be in order to fulfill the law as the Offering, the Offerer, and the Priest.

You start an email, remember a purchase, open another tab, and suddenly five tasks are each 20 percent done. For adults with ADHD, working memory problems don't necessarily disappear with age.Skye Waterson and Robert Waterson unpack a 2013 meta-analysis of 38 studies on working memory in adults with ADHD. The researchers expected older adults to perform better. Instead, the review found adults with ADHD performed moderately worse on both verbal and visual working memory tasks, with age not changing the overall picture.Then Skye and Robert get practical: how to stop relying on your head to hold everything. They cover one central place for tasks, low-friction capture, redundant reminders, recording tools, and physical cues you can't ignore.The goal isn't to remember harder. It's to build a system that means you don't have to.Want Skye's prioritization filter? DM me “prioritize” and she'll send it to you for free.What We Cover:What 38 studies reveal about working memory in adults with ADHD, and why age didn't change the pictureWhy every task needs one central, ranked location instead of scattered notesHow redundant reminders and physical cues help when working memory failsWhy a five-minute post-meeting dictation can catch what AI summaries missP.S.

Ein Prinzip entpuppte sich als erfolgreich – vielleicht zu erfolgreich? Die Gamifzierung stammt aus der Sphäre der Videospiele und besteht aus psychologischen Mechanismen, uns bei der Stange zu halten und zu Höchstleistungen anzuspornen. Dieses Prinzip ist längst in andere Bereiche übergeschwappt: Wearables wie smarte Uhren belohnen uns mit «Badges», wenn wir unsere tägliche Schrittzahl erreichen. Manche Krankenkassen gamifizieren den gesunden Lebensstil mit finanziellen Boni. Sprach-Apps wie Duolingo belohnen regelmässiges Üben und Unternehmen wie Disney und Uber lassen ihre Angestellten gegeneinander antreten und belohnen das fleissigste Arbeiterbienchen mit dem Platz 1 auf dem «Leaderboard». Das ist aber nicht alles: Auch in der Politik wird dieses Instrument für Kampagnen eingesetzt und bei den Prognosemärkten (Prediction markets) wird es auf die Spitze getrieben: Es lässt sich auf reale Ereignisse wetten, wie auf Pferderennen. Die Risiken sind enorm, wie man in den USA sieht, wo dieser Mechanismus zu einer Art Korruptions-Gamification führt. Man könnte den Eindruck bekommen, dass ein unschuldiger, schöner Mechanismus nach der Logik der Märkte in ein kapitalistisches Monster verwandelt wurde. Stimmt das? Und sollten wir uns darüber ärgern – oder das vielmehr als Gelegenheit erkennen, uns gegen derlei Mechanismen zu wappnen, um uns mündig zu entscheiden, wann wir uns gamifizieren lassen und wann nicht?
Christ has forgiven us all our trespasses, but we have a problem understanding His forgiveness because we have a poor understanding of the severity of our sins, our condition, and our standing with God. We were spiritually dead in our sins, but Christ has made us alive in Him and forgiven us. Even though we will never "feel" forgiven, we are forgiven, period.

Three verbs, which properly translated in their mood and tense in the Greek, shift our focus back on to Christ. They show us that what God is looking for is faith in Christ, not Jesus plus circumcision, or any other religious ceremony or rite. The simplicity of the gospel is that God wants us to take Him at His word and stay focused on Christ.

No outward sign, like that of circumcision, can fix you if your heart is not close to God. In the Old Testament circumcision was intended to be a sign of the covenant with God, but even then, God made it clear His focus was on the heart. Christ has already accomplished this act of circumcision in the inner man of the Christian, freeing us and conforming us to His covenant perfectly, as only He can. Why would we need to add to what He has done in us? Christ set us free.

Rejection sensitive dysphoria gets talked about constantly in ADHD spaces, but there isn't much research behind it yet.In this Research Recap, Skye and Will unpack a small study that tried to measure what happens when people with ADHD symptoms experience social exclusion. Using a deliberately unfair ball-tossing game, researchers compared how rejected participants said they felt with changes in their heart rate and blood pressure.The results didn't line up the way researchers expected. This isn't proof that RSD is or isn't real. It's a look at what one study found, where the results got messy, and why measuring rejection sensitivity is more complicated than it sounds.Want more of Will's work?

We cannot understand the problems of where we are without looking to history. Church history is full of examples of the traditions of men being substituted in place of the word of God and the message of salvation by faith in Christ. The Protestant Reformation sought to bring people back to the pure source of the word, but even the Protestant Church has its add-ons. Study the word and focus on your personal relationship with God.

Colossians 2:6 is the perfect text to show us that the modern-day evangelist's altar call, inviting us to "receive Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior" is actually quite blasphemous! Treating this passage correctly, the difference is in the details. To "receive" is not to receive the individual, the Son of God, but rather to receive the message, the good news of Jesus Christ: that new management has come to help us start walking, keep walking, and stay connected by faith as we are on the path to spiritual maturity.

Ron Johnson built the Apple Store as Apple's SVP of Retail, and is the author of Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius.A Note from James:I love the Apple Store.I can walk into one without needing anything and still want to stay. I like looking at the products. I like touching everything. I like the space. I like the feeling.I remember buying one of my first iPods at the Apple Store on Fifth Avenue in New York. I walked out smiling, listening to music from my childhood that I hadn't heard in years.And that feeling was designed.My guest today, Ron Johnson, is the person who created the Apple Store.Before Apple, Ron was at Target, where he helped prove that design could matter even in mass-market retail. He worked with Michael Graves and helped establish this idea that something affordable could also be beautiful.Steve Jobs noticed.Steve had come back to Apple. The Mac was competing in a world dominated by Windows. And he realized there was something advertising could not do: it could not let someone actually experience the product.You had to touch a Mac. You had to use it. You had to see why it was different.So Steve hired Ron.And together they created something that went against almost every trend in retail at the time.No giant stacks of boxes. No salespeople hiding behind registers. No pressure to buy. Products sitting openly on simple tables. Lots of light. Lots of employees. A Genius Bar. A place where you could come in, play with the computers, ask questions, learn something, leave without buying anything, and then come back again.Retail experts said it would fail.And for a moment, they looked right.When Apple opened its third store in Texas, Ron walked into the Monday morning executive meeting and Steve Jobs looked at him and basically said, “What are you doing here? You haven't sold a computer in the state of Texas.”Ron fixed it.Eventually, Apple Stores became some of the most productive retail spaces in the world.Ron's new book is Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius. And what I loved about the book is that you get to see how someone who has spent decades thinking about stores actually sees one.Ron can walk into a store and notice the floor, the lighting, the width of the aisle, the employees, the products, where people park, how customers move, what they see first, and whether the place has what he calls a heartbeat.He sees retail almost like an artist sees a canvas.And the lessons are much bigger than stores.They're about design. Leadership. Kindness. Steve Jobs. Knowing what your customer values. Knowing what parts of your identity are sacred. And maybe most importantly, knowing when not to rush.What You'll Learn:Why Steve Jobs believed Apple needed its own retail stores.How Ron Johnson's work with design at Target attracted Steve's attention.Why Ron sees retail as a fundamentally human and emotional business.How kindness influenced Ron's relationship with Steve Jobs.Why Apple designed the store collaboratively instead of handing the project to a traditional retail team.Why location was one of the first messages the Apple Store sent customers.How George Blankenship brought critical retail real-estate expertise to Apple.Why Apple spent heavily on elaborate window displays in its earliest stores.How the Apple Store was divided between new customers and existing owners.Why Apple removed almost all visible inventory and boxes from the sales floor.How the Genius Bar fit into the original philosophy of service and support.Why Apple Store employees were deliberately different from traditional electronics-store employees.Why Apple recruited people from bookstores.How Apple shifted the retail goal from transaction to relationship.Why Ron told employees never to hurry a potential customer.What Target taught Ron about differentiation and design.How Steve Jobs responded when Apple's first Texas store failed to sell a computer during its opening weekend.Why Ron says Steve criticized performance rather than attacking the person.What Steve Jobs taught Ron about leadership, delegation, standards, and focus.Why Steve wanted A players and gave them room to operate.Why Ron believes physical retail is not dying.What separates “tired retail” from a store with a heartbeat.Why brands need to understand which parts of their identity are sacred.How institutional memory slowly pulls companies away from what originally made them special.Why Ron believes the best business advice is simply: don't be in a hurry.Timestamped Chapters:[04:38] Seeing a Store Like a ChessboardJames tells Ron that reading the book feels like watching a master see patterns invisible to everyone else.[06:08] The Apple Store BeginsJames asks what Ron and Steve Jobs disagreed about while building the first stores.[07:29] Building the Store With Steve JobsRon explains why Apple's stores were developed collaboratively rather than designed independently and presented to Steve for approval.[08:55] How Target Led Ron to AppleJames asks whether Ron's design work at Target was what originally caught Steve Jobs' attention.[09:21] Why Apple Needed StoresRon explains that Steve believed Apple had to control the customer experience if it wanted people to understand why the Mac was different.[10:40] Kindness in the Steve Jobs InterviewJames asks why Ron emphasized kindness when describing his first meeting with Steve.[11:22] Living in Your HeartRon describes his upbringing in Minnesota and why retail taught him to think first about the person in front of him.[13:26] Going Against the Retail TrendJames and Ron discuss why opening expensive physical stores seemed almost irrational during the rise of Dell, e-commerce, and struggling electronics chains.[14:00] The Mac Had to Be ExperiencedRon explains why advertising could only take Apple so far. Customers needed to touch the product and experience the operating system themselves.[15:18] The First Message Is the LocationRon explains Steve Jobs' belief that the location of the store itself tells customers something about the brand.[17:09] Getting People Through the DoorRon describes the importance of real estate, window displays, and creating stores people felt compelled to enter.[18:18] A Place to Hang OutThe early Apple Store becomes somewhere customers can surf the internet, play with computers, and spend time without pressure.[19:27] Simple Enough to Understand at a GlanceRon explains the original store layout: products and discovery in the front, ownership support and services in the back.[20:25] The Employee Is the StarRon explains why Apple staffed its stores so heavily and designed employees' jobs around helping customers rather than completing other tasks.[21:44] Why Tech Stores Felt IntimidatingRon contrasts Apple's approach with the employees and environment he saw in traditional computer stores.[22:43] Hiring From BookstoresRon explains why bookstore employees provided a model for the hospitality and discovery experience Apple wanted.[24:24] Transaction vs. RelationshipRon compares Target, where customers arrived ready to shop, with Apple, where many customers needed multiple visits before they were ready to buy.[24:56] Never Hurry the CustomerRon explains why employees were taught to spend time with people, excite them about the product, and invite them to return.[25:34] Target vs. WalmartJames and Ron discuss the strategic difference between the two discount retailers and how Target used fashion and design to differentiate itself.[27:15] How Apple Influenced Tesla RetailJames notices similarities between Tesla and Apple stores, and Ron explains George Blankenship's role in both companies.[28:31] “You Haven't Sold a Computer in Texas”Ron remembers opening the third Apple Store and walking into an executive meeting before the location had sold a single computer.[29:51] What Steve Jobs Was Really CriticizingRon says Steve's intensity was about performance and standards, not personal criticism.[30:20] Steve Jobs as a LeaderRon explains why Steve focused less on conventional management metrics and more on what Apple should build next and how it could better serve customers.[31:03] Hire the Best People in the WorldRon talks about Tim Cook, Jony Ive, delegation, A players, and how quickly Steve moved when someone did not fit.[33:26] Are Physical Stores Dying?James asks the question Ron hears constantly, and Ron argues that retail formats evolve rather than disappear.[34:55] Why New Brands Still Want StoresRon points to newer specialty brands opening physical locations and explains why demand for good retail space remains strong.[36:05] Experience Beats ConvenienceRon distinguishes online shopping's transactional convenience from the emotional experience and sense of belonging a physical store can create.[37:48] Tired RetailJames brings up JCPenney, and Ron explains why outdated, dim, oversized retail experiences gradually lose relevance.[39:29] Walking Through Stores as an Art FormRon describes visiting stores constantly and reading every product, display, floor, and merchandising decision as evidence of someone's thinking.[40:40] What Target LostRon compares today's Target home assortment with the Target he helped shape decades earlier.[42:00] The Danger of Losing Institutional MemoryRon explains how companies gradually drift away from the qualities that originally made them successful.[42:50] Why the Floor MattersRon gives a seemingly small example: Target's move from bright white flooring to darker concrete changed the emotional character of the store.[43:59] Every Great Brand Has Something SacredJames and Ron discuss why companies need to know which parts of the customer experience define their identity and should not be casually changed.[45:16] The Best Business Advice Ron Ever GotJames asks for Ron's most important business lesson.[45:40] Don't Be in a HurryRon explains why patience, focus, high standards, and sequential innovation were central to Apple's success.[47:16] Apple, AI, and the Race for the Next PlatformJames and Ron connect the lesson about patience to the enormous investment and uncertainty surrounding artificial intelligence.[49:03] Closing ThoughtsJames reflects on what the Apple Store has meant to him personally and recommends Shop Different.Additional Resources:Shop Different: How Retail Revealed Apple's Genius — Official Book SiteRon Johnson — Official LinkedIn ProfileApple RetailApple Fifth AvenueSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The body of Christ is supposed to be knit together in love, not ripped apart. Without being knit together in Christ's love, the church cannot survive. Paul addressed the Colossians with pastoral concern, reminding them to focus back on Christ and to be knit together in the agape love of God. When the problems come, this love of God through Christ should be our common bond. Christ is the unifying force.

You still can't make yourself do the boring task today.Skye and Robbie break down the goal setting system Skye actually uses, adapted from Dan Martell's framework. It works backward from a 25-year vision to one specific goal this year, then down to one daily non-negotiable that makes that goal inevitable.They also get into what happens when you miss a day, why trying to focus on five goals at once backfires, and how immediate rewards can make the thing you keep avoiding easier to actually do.What We Cover:The full process from a 25-year vision to a daily non-negotiableWhy your yearly goal needs to be specific and measurableHow to choose the one priority that matters most right nowWhy five new non-negotiables at once can become zeroHow immediate rewards and recovering from missed days keep goals aliveP.S.

The church today is in spiritual danger, just as the church at Galatia was. The Apostle Paul instructed them not to be deceived by those who tried to lead them back to works and the law instead of faith in Jesus Christ alone. You will reap what you sow. The works of the flesh are a mockery of God, but if you seek Him in faith, He will put His Spirit in you, and you will bear fruit unto Him. Sowing to the Spirit leads to a harvest of life eternal.

Fitz Cahall is the creator of the legendary outdoor podcast The Dirtbag Diaries, co-founder of the creative agency Duct Tape Then Beer, and author of the excellent book States of Adventure. But most recently, he's gone from prolific creative mind to public lands advocate with the launch of Save Public Lands, a campaign that gives public land lovers of all stripes, from climbers to hunters, a way to go on the offense against the ongoing attacks on our public lands. The goal is a million signatures on a short letter with three clear demands: no more sell-offs, no more giveaways to foreign companies and billionaires, and no more backroom deals. Those signatures get delivered to DC and statehouses around Public Lands Day on September 26th. Partners include Outdoor Alliance, Backcountry Hunters & Anglers, MeatEater, The Conservation Alliance, and The Wilderness Society. Fitz got his start in the mid-2000s scraping by as a freelance journalist, a job he refers to as "naked subsistence hunting." In 2007, he took a few stories that hadn't sold and turned them into a podcast. He emailed it to 30 friends. The next day 30 people had listened, then 300, then 3,000. Nearly 20 years later, he and his wife and creative partner Becca have built Duct Tape Then Beer into a story studio behind award-winning films and podcasts, all guided by one rule: the work has to strengthen people's connections to the natural world and to each other. We talked about how Save Public Lands came together, why Fitz chose offense over defense, and how a coalition this politically diverse—hunters, climbers, skiers, veterans, and legacy conservation groups—managed to find common ground and rally around a shared goal. Then we lightened it up and got into his creative life, including why he treats creative work like a band rather than a solo act, how he and Becca avoided chasing money for its own sake, what he does when his enthusiasm dips, and why he believes doubt and optimism are far more powerful together than either one alone. It's worth noting I consider Fitz a role model in a lot of ways, and I don't think Mountain & Prairie would exist without his example. I've been listening to The Dirtbag Diaries since the days when you had to download podcasts onto your computer, load them onto your iPod, then plug the iPod into the tape deck in your truck to listen. That's exactly what I was doing back then, driving around trying to sell real estate, and those stories cracked open a whole way of living and working that I didn't know was available to me. So thank you, Fitz, for all of it. There's a link below to sign the letter. It takes about 20 seconds, so there's no excuse not to do it. I loved this conversation, and I hope you enjoy. --- SAVE PUBLIC LANDS – Sign the Letter!

In God's book, there's a type of pain that has a purpose. Whether it's physical or mental, if it leads us closer to God, then it's not destructive. It's redemptive pain. In 2 Corinthians 12, the Apostle Paul describes this as a "thorn" in the flesh. More specifically, it was a messenger of Satan that was given to him by God to keep him humble and always depending on God. If you're wrestling with something that won't go away, and you find yourself asking the question, "Is this of God, or of the devil?" then this message is for you.

So why is actually finishing the thing so hard?Jason Chatfield has written and drawn the syndicated comic strip Ginger Meggs for sixteen years, writes for The New Yorker, and built a career across cartooning, comedy, and writing. But he learned he cannot rely on his brain to generate ideas and execute them at the same time.Instead, Jason built physical systems that separate thinking from doing: external deadlines, index cards, a wall calendar, batching, and pairing difficult tasks with things he actually enjoys.In this episode, Jason breaks down the practical systems he uses to turn ideas into finished work without relying on willpower.What We Cover:Why Jason stopped planning and executing in the same blockThe index card system that makes finished work visibleHow external deadlines give his ADHD brain structureWhy his wall calendar beats another productivity appHow he pairs difficult tasks with things he enjoysThe first-thing, last-thing routine that separates planning from doingWhy it took three ADHD diagnoses before he believed itConnect With Jason Chatfieldhttps://www.jasonchatfield.com/https://www.instagram.com/newyorkcartoons/P.S.

God repeatedly describes us as "sheep," and Christ as our Shepherd. We need to be led and guided, because by nature, we wander astray and are unaware of the dangers around us.

You can't navigate the Bible without dealing with the subject of death, dying, and eternal life. If rightly understood, it's the most faith-inspiring, faith-building recognition that God has a plan for you, and life doesn't end when you die.

The need for covering for sin goes back as far as Adam and Eve, where an animal had to be slain to cover them. The book of Leviticus spells out that the only atonement for sin is through sacrifice and the spilling of blood. Each of the sacrifices was a type that pointed to Christ. When Christ fulfilled the law with His sacrificial death and His Resurrection, the need for blood to be spilled stopped. Those who do not look to Christ for redemption cannot be cleansed by good deeds or ceremonies, because there is no salvation apart from Christ. Those who do look to Him in faith have an eternal inheritance. VF-2558 Leviticus Watch, Listen and Learn 24x7 at PastorMelissaScott.com Pastor Melissa Scott teaches from Faith Center in Glendale.

America at its inception was a nation built on God's word. Every historical detail reveals God's gracious hand of providence on a people who were the apple of His eye. As we look back, we can see just how far we've drifted from the principles, mindset, and ideologies of those who fought to birth this nation into existence. 250 years later, the question of our future is this: are we a country on life support? Or are we a country of patriots like those highlighted in this message, who fought for God and country, to defend and protect the freedoms that came to us at such a great price?

What if your company didn't need a single line of code to build its own CRM, or a board of directors made up entirely of AI agents? In this episode of The Audit, Joshua Schmidt, Eric Brown, and Nick Mellem sit down with Loren Horsager, founder of Model Mind AI, who has been working in AI since 1993 and now spends his days coaching businesses and CEOs on how to actually put it to work. Loren has helped organizations trade their bloated software stacks, their expensive middleware, and their old habits for AI-driven processes that get built in days instead of quarters. The crew digs into vibe coding, AI councils, and the death of the traditional user interface, then pivots into the harder questions: what happens to developers, where security has to fit into the process, and why voice AI still hasn't earned people's trust. Along the way there's talk of AI trading bots, a QuickBooks security scare, a routing engine that hit 100 percent on-time delivery, and a debate about whether vinyl records and iPods still have a place in an AI-driven world. In this episode: Why vibe coding terrifies developers who ignore it The AI council approach to strategic thinking Why nobody loves their CRM anymore Where security has to sit in AI adoption Why voice AI works for productivity but not yet for trust If this conversation sparked something, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Most companies have smart people and solid products, yet still miss out on their biggest growth opportunities. The problem isn't just strategy, it's that leaders keep solving familiar, comfortable problems instead of creating bold new ones that force innovation. Today's guest, Ted Santos of Turnaround Investment Partners, works as an outsourced Chief Innovation Officer, helping CEOs deliberately create “the right problems” that unlock new markets, galvanize teams, and drive breakthrough growth. In this episode of Marketer of the Day, Ted explains why effective leadership means becoming a “professional troublemaker,” the kind of CEO who sets seemingly impossible challenges and lets the organization grow into the solution. He shares powerful examples like Steve Jobs demanding 1,000 songs in your pocket and turning the iPod into the iPhone, and Howard Schultz positioning Starbucks as the “third place” between home and work. These weren't random ideas; they were intentional problems with no blueprint, designed to reveal gaps in the market and stretch people beyond what they thought they could do. Ted also uncovers the hidden, psychological side of innovation: why most breakthrough initiatives fail not because of bad ideas, but because of limiting beliefs and blind spots inside the people tasked with executing them. He tells the story of a mortgage professional in his 60s whose lifelong habit of joking to feel accepted was quietly killing his deals, until coaching helped him unlearn that blind spot, redirect his strengths, and double his productivity twice in six months. Ted's work shows that when leaders and teams confront these internal roadblocks, they gain the capacity to handle uncertainty, collaborate more deeply, and consistently produce high‑impact results. The conversation goes further, connecting business performance with personal life. Drawing from his book, “Here's Why You Can't Find Love,” Ted explains how unresolved relationship issues and high divorce rates quietly drain corporate productivity costing an estimated $300 billion a year. He argues that companies must evolve beyond the old two-gear model of “hire in good times, lay off in bad times,” and instead develop employees so deeply in communication, conflict resolution, and resilience that it becomes more expensive to let them go than to keep them. https://youtu.be/iwDRNQBKGRg?si=y-TslIE6cN7-FmyH If you're a CEO, founder, or business leader who wants to build a culture that thrives on uncertainty, finds hidden opportunities, and creates sustainable breakthroughs in both work and life, this episode will challenge how you think about leadership, innovation, and human performance. Quotes: “Most breakthrough initiatives fail not because of bad ideas, but because of what people already know about their limiting beliefs, mental roadblocks, and blind spots.” We've accepted a world where companies only operate in two gears: hire in good times, fire in bad times without ever looking for a third, fourth, or fifth possibility.” “Imagine making your employees so valuable that it costs more to lay them off than it does to keep them.” Contact Details: Protect Your Ideas; Secure Your Future: Book Your Free IP Consultation Today Create Your Next Breakthrough: Connect with Ted Santos on LinkedIn Master Change.

Malachi, the last prophet of the Old Testament, rebuked the priests and the people for their indifference to God and their defection from His ways. God promised that if they would stop robbing Him and would turn back to Him, He would pour out a blessing they could not contain. Malachi also prophesied that God would send His messenger, Christ, who would be a refining fire and the Sun of righteousness.

Carlos Gutierrez spent 25 years rising from sales representative to CEO of Kellogg, then served as U.S. Commerce Secretary. He did it all without knowing he had ADHD.When he was diagnosed later in life, Carlos began looking back at his career differently. The disorganization, procrastination and impulsivity he had treated as personal flaws finally had a name. So did some of the traits that helped him succeed, including intense hyperfocus, intuition and an ability to connect with people.In this conversation, Carlos and Skye unpack the role ADHD played at the highest levels of his career, from the projects he could not stop thinking about to the support that helped him perform at his best. They also talk honestly about the cost of that drive, particularly the work that followed him home and the family time he lost along the way.It is a fascinating look at what ADHD can actually look like at the top, and what Carlos understands about himself now that he wishes he had known earlier.What We CoverWhy Carlos saw his ADHD traits as personal flaws for decadesHow hyperfocus became one of his biggest career advantagesWhy the right support and structure changed how he performedThe impact his intense focus on work had on his family lifeHow ADHD shaped his intuition, empathy and leadership styleWhat changed when Carlos finally learned he had ADHDP.S.

The word "mystery", if we understand its Biblical use and more specifically its use by the apostle Paul in the book of Colossians, is not something cryptic that we can't know or understand; it's revealed in the person and work of Jesus Christ: the mind-boggling thing that we can be saved by something that happened over 2,000 years ago!

Waking up exhausted after eight hours of sleep isn't just bad luck. In this Research Recap, Skye and Will break down a meta-analysis on hay fever and ADHD, including the finding that people with allergies are significantly more likely to also meet the criteria for ADHD. They talk through how swollen sinuses can disrupt sleep, how that can show up as brain fog and forgetfulness, and why the researchers still can't say which condition comes first.

Andrew is excited to reconnect with his and Luke's former colleague on the radio tomorrow. Luke is enjoying his new iPod more than he thought he might. And they're both trying to use MapQuest after Google Maps (once again) fails to have any integrity under the Trump regime.
There is only one ministry in the church, and that is being a servant of God. God is the one who makes men and women into ministers; we do not choose it ourselves, and we are not to judge His choice. Paul suffered afflictions for his association with Christ and the preaching of the Word, but he rejoiced. Suffering is part of the process of being made into a man or woman of God.

In this episode of Tank Talks, host Matt Cohen sits down with Keegan McCallum, co-founder and CEO of uRUN, an inference provider built for persistent, steerable, interactive AI experiences. Keegan's path took him from jailbreaking iPods in Thunder Bay, Ontario, to building the infrastructure that powered Luma AI's viral Dream Machine launch, scaling from 500 to 9,000 H100s in six hours to process over half a million videos.They break down why the industry is wrong to shoehorn interactive AI into old request-response systems and why the future belongs to persistent, stateful, real-time experiences. Keegan explains the technical differences between LLMs and video models, why infrastructure is the biggest bottleneck for the next wave of AI, and what it takes to recruit top engineering talent.He also shares hard-won lessons on selling to developers, the Canadian AI talent landscape, and his bold, contrary views on the AI supply chain. From avatars and steerable video to coding agents generating 1,000 tokens per second, this episode is packed with frontline insights.Whether you are a founder building in AI, an infrastructure engineer, or simply curious about where human-computer interaction is headed, Keegan delivers a clear-eyed look at the future of interactive AI.–A big thanks to our sponsor, Moomoo CanadaThis is the kind of tooling that used to live on a Bloomberg terminal, but now it is on your phone, just a few taps away.

Because of the fall, we are all born alienated from God, which includes being alienated from the image of God and the knowledge of God. God has to reconcile our conscience, our heart and its affections, and our will in order to bring us back to Him. If we continue in the faith, He will be able to present us holy, unpolluted, and having no guilt attached to us before Him in heaven.

Just as God created all things, He has reconciled all things to Himself. That doesn't mean that all will be saved, but rather that Christ's sacrifice at the cross made peace, making it possible for us to become friends of God instead of enemies. From that moment on, a change began to occur in those who hear and respond. This change is not merely a disposition of an individual, nor their legal relationship to God, but a total state of his or her life!

I am now accepting applications for people to join the Celtic Invasion of Isle of Skye hiking trip in 2027 at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Send me a photo. If you're in a Celtic band, send me an audio recording of you performing live. Just audio. I'll use it in a podcast episode later this year. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Jeff Suggs emailed about how to shuffle music on Android: "Mark, I use the free version of Shuttle. It allows shuffling by album or by song. Keep up the good work on the Podcast" Alexander Randall 5th emailed: "Good morning in balmy Great Britain. Ah ha! The music only is Thursday. Thank you for that. I'll ignore what arrives early and capture the tunes on Thursday. I work with words and the talk version interrupts my train of thought. I usually edit the show in my audio editor and take out the songs with singers. I like that music but i cant work with singing… Over time I mash up a dozen of your shows, (instrumental music only and then let that run for hours. The music only version is just that much less editing to get to my goal. Keep it up. I love the show I do listen to the word version sometimes just to hear if I made the comments section." Jim emailed back in February: "Dear Marc Gunn The Irish & Celtic Music Podcast first landed in my feed when I was still carrying an iPod. I'd listen to the current episode and catch up the previous installments on the drive to and from work. Learning about various Celtic bands from all over the planet expanded my world view and allowed me to support those independent artists. I applaud your response to last week's challenging criticism and offer my financial support (finally) for the podcast. You will not be getting a photo showing what I'm doing while listening to the podcast because it's my companion during house work. As they say on Firefly, "See you in the verse". PS The Wicked Tinker's "Aiken Drum" (Big Bottle of Bad Ideas) is not a contemporary rebel song, but may help illustrate your point."
