It's been a busy year for ISO Standards, with that set to ramp up in 2026 thanks to upcoming Standard transitions. Before we dive into a new year, we'd like to take a step back and highlight some of the key ISO milestones from 2025.  In this episode, Steph Churchman, Communications Manager at Blackmores, looks back at the major Standard updates from 2025, including changes to existing Standards, new ISO's published and key upcoming changes you need to be aware of for 2026.   You'll learn ·      What ISO Standards have been updated in 2025? ·      What new ISO Standards were published in 2025? ·      What Standards are due to be published in 2026? ·      What ISO transitions do you need to be aware of in 2026? Resources ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Steph reviews major ISO Standard updates from 2025, including changes to existing ISO Standards, new Standards published and what you need to know going into 2026.   [02:34] What ISO Standards have been updated in 2025?: ISO 27701:2025: This is the Standard for Privacy Information Management and it recently received an update in October 2025. Key updates to this Standard include: ·      This is now a stand-alone Standard and can be implemented without an existing ISO 27001 ISMS in place. ·      The addition of further guidance for data processors and controllers. ·      Provides greater clarity on managing personal data within AI and digital ecosystems ·      More focus on organisational leadership involvement. ·      The update now aligns ISO 27701 more closely with global regulations such as GDPR, CCPA and LGPD. ISO 37001:2025, the Standard for Anti-bribery. This one was well overdue an update, with its last version being 2016! It's update arrived on 2nd Feb 2025, and included: - ·      Text harmonisation with the other ISO 37000 family of Standards, such as ISO 37301 (compliance management systems), ISO 37000 (governance of organisations) and ISO 37008 (internal investigations of organisations) to ensure consistency and easier integration. ·      The latest version now formally introduces the concept of anti-bribery culture and emphasises its importance for the effectiveness of the management system. ·      A greater emphasis on the role of top management and their involvement in overseeing the management system. ·      A new requirement has been added for awareness and training as fundamental asset for management system results. ·      It also receives the added climate change amendment, which many ISO's already embedded back in 2024 – learn more about that here. ·      And lastly, there's more comprehensive definitions of conflict-of-interest as well as procedures to raise awareness on reporting potential and actual conflicts. ISO 50002, the standard for energy audits. This isn't a certifiable standard, but rather a guidance document to support the energy management standard ISO 50001. The recent update has now split this Standard into 3 parts: ·      ISO 50002 part 1: General requirements with guidance for use. ·      ISO 50002 part 2: Guidance for conducting an energy audit in buildings. ·      ISO 50002 part 3: Guidance for conducting an energy audit in processes Most of the revisions focused on strengthening and adding further clarification to energy auditing principles such as Competency, Confidentiality, Objectivity, access to equipment, resources and information, Evidence-based approach and Risk-based approach Lastly, this update also clearly specifies the requirements for energy auditor competence. [07:10] What new ISO Standards were published in 2025? ISO 42006 - Requirements for bodies providing audit and certification of artificial intelligence management systems. This is a guidance Standard that actually relates to certification bodies rather than businesses choosing to implement ISO 42001. It builds on ISO 17021-1 and ensures that certification bodies operate with the competence and rigour necessary to assess organisations developing, deploying or offering AI systems. While one that you as a business may not have to worry about, it's a positive addition to the growing ISO 42000 family of Standards, which are currently the only global frameworks for best practice for AI Management. ISO 17298 Biodiversity - Considering biodiversity in the strategy and operations of organizations. ISO 17298 ultimately aims to help organizations of all types and sizes understand how they depend on and impact nature – and take concrete action to address it. It includes guidance to help you: ·      Understand your biodiversity impacts, dependencies and risks ·      Identify opportunities for green growth and nature-positive finance ·      And develop and implement a credible biodiversity action plan   [09:45] What new ISO Standards are due to be published in 2026? ISO 53001 management system requirements for the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. Many businesses have already done the hard work behind aligning their ESG activities with the UN SDG's, and will soon be able to benefit from certification to an internationally recognised Standard to help manage and improve their performance against those SDG goals. The Standard provides a framework for an SDG management system that will: ·      Enhance the organization's SDG performance. ·      Fulfil compliance obligations. ·      Achieve selected SDG objectives. ·      Create trust and confidence to relevant existing and future stakeholders If you wanted to get a head-start, the guidance document ISO 53002: Guidelines for contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals is available to download for free right now. ISO 14060: Net Zero Aligned Organisations. This Standard details requirements for how any type of organization can demonstrate that their net zero strategy is achievable, and that they are making credible and verifiable progress towards contributing to global net zero in line with the Paris Agreement. There are a lot of country specific legislation and regulations now in effect, or soon to be in effect, but there is a lack of clarity around what it actually means to be Net Zero. This is where ISO 14060 comes in, to create a globally accepted definition of what it means for an organisation to be net zero. In addition, this Standard will also: ·      Define what constitutes a credible net zero strategy at an organisational level ·      Establish how targets should be set, measured and delivered ·      Require organisations to align with the goals of the Paris Agreement ·      Build on existing ISO standards such as ISO 14064 for GHG verification and ISO 14068-1 for Carbon Neutrality ·      Have a focus on organisational claims, not product or event-level claims ·      And lastly it will be globally applicable and adaptable across sectors. [12:50] What ISO Standard updates do you need to be aware of for 2026?: The anticipated update to the leading environmental management system Standard, ISO 14001, is expected to be published in Q1 of 2026. It doesn't appear to have many major changes, but rather just further guidance and clarification in a few areas, including: ·      Modernised terminology and harmonised structure that aligns with other ISO Standards ·      Stronger focus on environmental conditions ·      Clearer EMS scope with life-cycle perspective ·      Again, we see a greater focus on leadership accountability ·      Refined risk-based planning ·      Introduction of a new change-management clause ·      Extended operational control to suppliers ·      Restructured management review ·      And an expanded Annex A for explanatory notes ISO 9001 is also due a revision. It was expected out around a similar time as ISO 14001, but following its public comment round, it's gone back under revision to make more changes after that feedback. As a result, this has pushed the expected publication date to either Q3 or possibly even Q4 of 2026. Now despite it going back into revision following feedback, the changes are still expected to be minor. Some of the expected changes include: ·      Impact of digital transformation – such as AI ·      Improved supply chain resilience ·      Proactive risk management and risk-based thinking ·      Quality culture and awareness of ethical behaviors ·      And increased attention to customer satisfaction Looking even further forward, ISO 45001 will also be up for revision soon, though that isn't expected to be published until 2027. We'll give you more details as soon as a draft version has been made available. All of these transitions will include a 3-year grace period, so there's no need to panic. Over the next year, we'll cover these changes in more detail, and will provide a variety of ISO Support options to help you manage and complete your ISO transitions. That's it from us for 2025! We look forward to brining you more ISO knowledge in 2026

AI has become inescapable over the past years, with the technology being integrated into tools that most people use every day. This has raised some important questions about the associated risks and benefits related to AI. Those developing software and services that include AI are also coming under increasing scrutiny, from both consumers and legislators, regarding the transparency of their tools. This ranges from how safe they are to use to where the training data for their systems originates from. This is especially true of already heavily regulated industries, such as the financial sector. Today's guest saw the writing on the wall while developing their unique AI software, that helps the financial sector detect fraud, and got a jump start on becoming accredited to the world's first best practice Standard for AI, ISO 42001 AI Management. In this episode, Mel Blackmore is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to discuss their journey towards ISO 42001 certification, including the key drivers, lessons learned, and benefits gained from implementation.    You'll learn ·      Who is Rachel? ·      Who are Umony? ·      Why did Umony want to implement ISO 42001? ·      What were the key drivers behind gaining ISO 42001 certification? ·      How long did it take to implement ISO 42001? ·      What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? ·      What did Umony learn from implementing ISO 42001? ·      What difference did bridging this gap make? ·      What are the main benefits of ISO 42001? ·      The importance of accredited certification ·      Rachel's top tip for ISO 42001 Implementation   Resources ·      Umony ·      Isologyhub   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Mel is joined by Rachel Churchman, The Global Head of GRC at Umony, to explore their journey towards ISO 42001 certification. [02:15] Who is Rachel?: Rachel Churchman is currently The Global Head of GRC (Governance, Risk and Compliance) at Umony, however keen listeners to the show may recognise her as she was once a part of the Blackmores team. She originally created the ISO 42001 toolkit for us while starting the Umony project under Blackmores but made the switch from consultant to client during the project. [04:15] Who are Umony? Umony operate in the financial services industry. For context, in that industry every form of communication matters, and there are regulatory requirements for firms to capture, archive and supervise all business communications. That covers quite a lot! From phone calls, to video calls, instant messaging etc, and failures to capture that info can lead to fines. Umony are a compliance technology company operating within the financial services space, and provide a platform that can capture all that communications data and store that securely. [05:55] Why did Umony embark on their ISO 42001 journey? Umony have recently developed an AI platform call CODA, which uses advanced AI to review all communications to detect financial risks such as market abuse, fraud or other misconduct. This will flag those potential high-risk communications to a human to continue the process. The benefit of this is that rather than financial institutions only being able to monitor a very small set of communications due to it being a very labour intensive task, this AI system would allow for monitoring of 100% of communications with much more ease. Ultimately, it's taking communications capture from reactive compliance to proactive oversight. [08:15] Led by industry professionals: Umony have quite the impressive advisory board, made up of both regulatory compliance personnel as well as AI technology experts. This includes the likes of Dr.Thomas Wolfe, Co-Founder of Hugging Face, former Chief Compliance Officer at JP Morgan and the CEO of the FCA. [09:00] What were the key drivers behind obtaining ISO 42001 certification? Originally, Rachel had been working for Blackmores to assist Umony with their ISO 27001:2022 transition back in early 2024. At the time, they had just started to develop their AI platform CODA. Rachel learned about what they were developing and mentioned that a new Standard was recently published to address AI specifically. After some discussion, Umony felt that ISO 42001 would be greatly beneficial as it took a proactive approach to effective AI management. While they were still in the early stages of creating CODA they wanted to utilise best practice Standards to ensure that the responsible and ethical development of this new AI system. When compared to ISO 27001, ISO 42001 provided more of a secure development lifecycle and was a better fit for CODA as it explores AI risks in particular. These risks include considerations for things like transparency of data, risk of bias and other ethical risks related to AI. At the time, no one was asking for companies to be certified to ISO 42001, so it wasn't a case of industry pressure for Umony, they simply knew that this was the right thing to do. Rachel was keen to sink her teeth into the project because the Standard was so new that Umony would be early adopters. It was so new, that certification bodies weren't even accredited to the Standard when they were implementing the Standard. [12:20] How long did it take to get ISO 42001 certified? Rachel started working with Anna Pitt-Stanley, COO of Umony, around April 2024. However the actual project work didn't start until October 2024, Umony already had a fantastic head start with ISO 27001 in place, and so project completion wrapped up around July of 2025. They had their pre-assessment with BSI in July, which Rachel considered a real value add for ISO 42001 as it gave them more information from the assessors point of view for what they were looking for in the Management System. This then led onto Stage 1 in August 2025 and Stage 2 in early September 2025. That is an unusually short period of time between a Stage 1 & 2, but they were in remarkably good shape at the end of Stage 1 and could confidently tackle Stage 2 in quick succession. The BSI technical audit finished at the end of September, so in total from start to finish the Implementation of ISO 42001 took just under 12 months. [15:50] What was the biggest gap identified during the Gap Analysis? A lot of the AI specific requirements were completely new to this Standard, so processes and documentation relating to things like 'AI Impact Assessment' had to be put in place. ISO 42001 includes an Annex A which details a lot of the AI related technical controls, these are unique to this Standard, so their current ISO 27001 certification didn't cover these elements. These weren't unexpected gaps, the biggest surprise to Rachel was the concept of an AI life cycle. This concept and its related objectives underpin the whole management system and its aims. It covers the utilisation or development of AI all the way through to the retirement of an AI system. It's not a standalone process and differs from ISO 27001's secure development life cycle, which is a contained subset of controls. ISO 42001's AI life cycle in comparison is integrated throughout the entire process and is a main driver for the management system.   [19:30] What difference did bridging this gap make? After Umony understood the AI life cycle approach and how it applied to everything, it made implementing the Standard a lot easier. It became the golden thread that ran through the entire management system. They were building into an existing ISMS, and as a result it created a much more holistic management system. It also helped with the internal auditing, as you can't take a process approach to auditing in ISO 42001 because controls can't be audited in isolation.   [21:30] What did Umony learn from Implementing ISO 42001? Rachel in particular learned a lot, not just with ISO 42001 but with AI itself. AI is new to a lot of people, herself included, and it can be difficult to distinguish what is considered a risk or opportunity regarding AI. In reality, it's very much a mix of the two. There's a lot of risk around data transparency, bias and data poisoning as well as new risks popping up all the time due to the developing technology. There's also a creeping issue of shadow IT, which is where employees may use hardware of software that hasn't been verified or validated by the company. For example, many people have their own Chat GPT accounts, but do you have oversight of what emplyees may be putting into that AI tool to help with their own tasks? On a more positive note, there are so many opportunities that AI can provide. Whether that's productivity, helping people focus more on the strategic elements of their role or reduction of tedious tasks. Umony is a great example of where an AI has been developed to serve a very specific purpose, preventing or highlighting potential fraud in a highly regulated industry. They're not the only one, with many others developing equally crucial AI systems to tackle some of our most labour-intensive tasks. In terms of experience with Implementing ISO 42001, Rachel feels it cemented her opinion that an ISO Standard provides a best practice framework that is the right way to go about managing AI in an organisation. Whether you're developing it, using it or selling it, ISO 42001 puts in place the right guardrails to make sure that AI is used responsibly, ethically, and that people understand the risks and opportunities associated with AI. [26:30] What benefits were gained from Implementing ISO 42001? The biggest benefit is having those AI related processes in place, regardless of if you go for certification. Umony in particular were keen to ensure that their certification was accredited, as this is a recognised certification. With Umony being part of such a regulated industry, it made sense that this was a high priority. As a result, they went with BSI as their Certification Body, who were one of the first CB's in the UK to get IAF accredited, quickly followed by UKAS accreditation. [27:55] The Importance of accredited certification: Sadly, a new Standard creates a lot of tempting offers from cowboy certification bodies that operate without a recognised accreditation. They will offer a very quick and cheap route to certification, usually provided through a generic management system which isn't reflective of how you work. Their certificate will also not hold up to scrutiny as it's not accredited with any recognisable body. For the UK this is UKAS, who is the only body in the UK under the IAF that is able to certify companies to be able to provide a valid accredited certificate. There's are easily available tools to help identify if a certificate is accredited or not, so it's best to go through the proper channels in the first place! Other warning signs of cowboy companies to look out for include: ·      Off the shelf Management system provided for a fee ·      Offering of both consultancy and certification services – no accredited CB can provide both to a client, as this is a conflict of interest. ·      A 5 – 10 year contract It's vital that you use an accredited Certification Body, as they will leave no stone unturned when evaluating your Management System. They are there to help you, not judge you, and will ensure that you have the upmost confidence in your management system once you've passed assessment. Umony were pleased to have only received 1 minor non-conformity through the entire assessment process. A frankly astounding result for such a new and complex Standard! [32:15] Rachel's top tip: Firstly, get a copy of the Standard. Unlike a lot of other Standards where you have to buy another Standard to understand the first one, ISO 42001 provides all that additional guidance in its annexes.   Annex B in particular is a gold mine for knowledge in understanding how to implement the technical controls required for ISO 42001. It also points towards other helpful supporting Standards as well, that cover aspects like AI risks and AI life cycle in more detail. Rachel's second tip is: You need to scope out your Management System before you start diving into the creation of the documentation. This scoping process is much more in-depth for ISO 42001 than with other ISO Standards as it gets you to understand your role from an AI perspective. It helps determine whether you're an AI user, producer or provider, it also gets you to understand what the management system is going to cover. This creates your baseline for the AI life cycle and AI risk profile. These you need to get right from the start, as they guide the entire management system. If you've already got an ISO Standard in place, you cannot simply re-use the existing scope, as it will be different for ISO 42001. If you're struggling, CB's like BSI can help you with this. [35:20] Rachel's Podcast recommendation: Diary of a CEO with Stephen Bartlett. [32:15] Rachel's favourite quote: "What's the worst that can happen?" – An extract from a Dale Carnegie course, where the full quote is: "First ask yourself what is the worst that can happen? Then, you prepare to accept it and then proceed to improve on the worst."

H2 - Segment 4 - Mon Dec 8 2025 - Lucas in Piedmont Liberal white women - you're not wrong they will label you any of the isms out of the book

In dieser Folge spricht Nico Freitag mit Dennis Buroh, Informationssicherheitsbeauftragter und CISO in der Minimax Viking Gruppe. Dennis verantwortet Informationssicherheit und Business Continuity Management für mehrere Gesellschaften weltweit und betreibt gleich fünf ISMS parallel von Entwicklung und Brandhäusern bis hin zu Produktion und Service im Feld.Im Mittelpunkt steht die Beziehung zwischen Entwicklung und Security. Dennis erzählt offen, wie Security schnell als „Bremse“ wahrgenommen wird, wenn sie erst kurz vor Go Live in Projekte einsteigt etwa bei der Einführung von PAM oder Sicherheitsreviews in letzter Minute. Gleichzeitig zeigt er, wie frühe Einbindung in Architektur und Design, klare Leitplanken und eine ehrliche Fehlerkultur dafür sorgen können, dass Security Teil des Codes wird und nicht nur ein Häkchen im Audit.Ein weiterer Schwerpunkt ist der Cyber Resilience Act mit Themen wie SBOM, Secure Development Lifecycle und mehrjähriger Updatepflicht. Dennis erklärt, was das konkret für Hersteller bedeutet vor allem in der OT, wo Anlagen jahrzehntelang laufen und warum SBOM und Sicherheitsanforderungen nur funktionieren, wenn Entwicklung, Security und Management gemeinsam daran arbeiten. Dazu kommen aktuelle Fragen rund um KI in der Entwicklung, Umgang mit Quellcode als „Kronjuwel“, Secrets, externe Dienstleister und Git Repositories.Außerdem geht es um:• wie du Security früh in den Entwicklungsprozess holst, statt am Ende alles zu stoppen• was der Cyber Resilience Act für Hersteller und langfristige Patches praktisch bedeutet• warum Bug Bounty kein Ersatz für Schulungen, Pentests und saubere Prozesse ist• wie Security Champions, Leitplanken und Fehlerkultur das Verhältnis zu Entwicklern verändern• welche Risiken KI Tools für Quellcode und Architekturwissen haben• warum Security für große Unternehmen gesetzt ist, im Handwerk und bei kleinen Betrieben aber oft noch als Luxus gesehen wirdEine Episode für alle, die Entwicklung und Security endlich als gemeinsames Projekt verstehen wollen ohne Bullshit-Bingo, sondern mit Praxisbeispielen aus einem Unternehmen, das jeden Tag sicherheitskritische Technik baut.____________________________________________

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Tomás Goulart e Victor Ary debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, o destaque foi o discurso de John Williams, do Fed, que reforçou a perspectiva de corte de 25 bps na reunião de dezembro. Os dados nos EUA foram escassos por conta do feriado de Thanksgiving, e os que foram divulgados ainda são referentes a setembro: vendas no varejo um pouco abaixo do esperado, e PPI em linha com a expectativa. No Reino Unido, o governo anunciou um pacote que aumenta impostos e amplia a folga fiscal, mas com a maior parte da consolidação concentrada nos últimos anos da projeção. No Brasil, o IPCA-15 veio um pouco acima do esperado, mas refletindo também efeitos da COP 30 sobre preços de hospedagem e turismo. Já os dados de mercado de trabalho – Caged e PNAD - mostraram alguma desaceleração, mas ainda nível robusto. Os dados de confiança demonstraram retomada em termos de atividade. Por fim, o presidente do BCB, Gabriel Galípolo, reafirmou o tom de serenidade, indicando que não houve divulgação de dados que alterassem as perspectivas do comitê. No mercado de crédito, a semana foi mais volátil que o normal e marcada por fluxo irregular. O índice de empresas high grade fechou estável, apesar das oscilações, enquanto o de empresas low rated abriu 15 bps na semana, devolvendo parte da forte compressão do início do mês. O mercado primário ainda seguiu sólido em novembro, mas com pipeline mais esvaziado. A perda do grau de investimento da Raízen foi oficializada, mas já era precificada pelo mercado local.

Message to the political extremes: Sit down, shut up and stop the Nazi name calling . The far left needs to stop comparing conservatives to Nazi's and fascists. And the far right needs to cool its rhetoric, too. It's only been two months since the horrific murder of Charlie Kirk. It seemed, we agreed, to watch our words; stop inciting violence, stop the Nazi nonsense. This is not about free speech. It's about human decency. It's about showing respect.   This episode is brought to you by BIOptimizers | Magnesium Breakthrough: Visit: https://bioptimizers.com/drphil Promo Code: DrPhil for 15% off and 25% off during black Friday.

Nossos sócios Luiz Eduardo Portella, Sarah Campos e Yara Cordeiro debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana no Brasil e no mundo. No cenário internacional, os dados nos EUA seguem indicando desaceleração do mercado de trabalho: apesar da ausência de divulgação do Payroll por conta do shutdown americano, os dados privados do ADP indicaram contração de vagas no mês. Do lado da atividade, os ISMs sinalizaram enfraquecimento da demanda. A OPEP está considerando um aumento na produção de petróleo, em ritmo superior aos anteriores; e o Hamas indicou que está disposto a negociar o plano de paz proposto pelo Trump. No Brasil, o principal destaque foi a aprovação do projeto que amplia a faixa de isenção do IR para R$5 mil na Câmara dos Deputados, com aumento da tributação dos super ricos, sendo considerada uma vitória do governo. Entretanto, acendeu alertas sobre a possível retomada de pautas populistas no Congresso, como fim da escala 6x1, reajuste do Bolsa Família e redução das tarifas de transporte. Na economia, os dados de indústria de agosto e de confiança de setembro surpreenderam positivamente, enquanto os dados de mercado de trabalho indicaram desaceleração: o Caged veio bem abaixo do esperado e a PNAD mostrou queda na população ocupada pela primeira vez desde 2023. Nos EUA, o juro de 2 anos fechou 7 bps, e as bolsas performaram bem: S&P 500 +1,09%, Nasdaq +1,15% e Russell 2000 +1,72%. No Brasil, os juros abriram (jan/29 + 19 bps), o Ibovespa caiu 0,86% e o real valorizou 0,13%. Na próxima semana, destaque para a minuta do Fed e negociação do shutdown e, no Brasil, para o IPCA de setembro e a possível votação da MP 1.303. Não deixe de conferir!

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Pessimism | Part 6Senior Pastor Keith StewartJune 1, 2025The late Sam Shoemaker once said, "Everyone has a problem, is a problem, or lives with a problem." But what if I told you that your problem is not nearly as problematic as what you tell yourself about your problem. More often than not, what defeats us in life is the thinking that lies beneath our behaviors. Call it our explanatory style. It's the things we tell ourselves when things don't turn out right or go as expected. This final ISM has sabotaged more relationships, defeated more initiatives, and ruined more lives than practically all the other ISMS combined. This Sunday we take on pessimism along with God's remedy for the negative outlook that robs us of so much in life._____________DISCUSSION QUESTIONS1. Pastor Keith defined pessimism (or the grasshopper mentality) as anytime we allow problems, attitudes, or circumstances to cause us to doubt God and believe that we will lack the resources, ability, or strength to do what He wants done. Have you ever fallen victim to pessimism? What situation were you dealing with? How did it affect you? What if any resolution did you ultimately have? 2. There are three defining characteristics of pessimistic thoughts. A belief that our problems are permanent, pervasive and personal. Go back and review this part of the message or the notes you took. The attitudes define our explanatory style – the things we tell ourselves about our problems. What were your biggest takeaways from this portion of the message? Have you ever personally struggled with one or more of these ways of thinking? When we use these as an explanation for our problems, they become a type of self-fulfilling prophecy. In other words, we find what we're looking for. Have you ever known anyone like this or been this way yourself? What would you suggest to a person caught up in this way of thinking? 3. What did we learn from Caleb's life and example? How was he able to choose faith over pessimism?  4. Is your faith weak? Then feed on the Word of God. Like John Piper reminded us, “Faith feeds on the word of God, without a steady diet it gets weaker and weaker. If you are dissatisfied with your Christian courage and joy and purity of heart then check the way you're feeding your faith.” Try to name as many ways as you can that the Word of God builds your faith. What has been your personal experience with God's Word as a faith-builder? What stories have impacted you most? What promises? What precepts? Or what do you see in the character of God that encourages your faith? 5. This week, make a list of promises from God's Word that can help keep your eyes focused on God during whatever difficulties you may encounter. If you're not sure how to do this, talk about it in your small group. Better yet, as a group or among your friends, have everyone make a contribution regarding their favorite promises to claim. Once you have made a list of verses or references, type them up to keep in your notes on your phone, or print them up and post them where you will see them frequently. Commit to memorizing as many as you can.

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Legalism | Part 5Senior Pastor Keith StewartMay 25, 2025Legalism is a trap that's far too easy to fall into. Its beginnings are so subtle and seem absolutely benign. But legalism in any form is not just toxic to our souls, it's downright dangerous. John Piper once said, “Legalism is more dangerous than alcoholism.” He's right. Few things will strip you of your love, joy and peace with God more quickly than legalism. But do you know the early warning signs of legalism? Are you aware of the sort of thinking that leads us into this deadly trap? Join us this Sunday, May 25th, as we delve into legalism and God's remedy.____________1. What has been your experience around legalism? Were you ever in a church that was legalistic? Have you ever known Christians who were legalistic? What stood out most to you in those environments? How were they perceived by outsiders?  2. Obviously, legalistic churches exist and sometimes attract large numbers of people. Why do you think that is? What attracts people to this sort of thinking?  3. Was there anything in today's message that challenged the way you think? Or encourage you in something you have always thought? Or do you find it helpful in evaluating what is healthy spirituality versus what is not?4. Pastor Keith said there are only two religions - There is FAITH religion and there is WORKS religion. What is the difference between the two? Which do you think is more prevalent in the world? How is Christianity's approach different from most other religions in the world? 5. In the final point, Pastor Keith contrasted two Greek myths, Ulysses versus Orpheus as it relates to the siren's song. It's a good analogy for temptation. Ulysses was bound to the mast of the ship. His story represents those who use rules to defeat temptation. Orpheus chose a different path. He played his lyre so that the sailors were all drawn toward more beautiful music. The siren song of the world is practically irresistible. Some use rules and struggle against them in the face of temptation and others have heard a new song, the love of Christ that draws them to a better way of living. Which do you like more and why?

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Escapism | Part 4Senior Pastor Keith StewartMay 18, 2025Let's face it. Life can be tough and sometimes the challenges we face seem unrelenting. More than anything we crave a little reprieve from the stress and losses we're facing. So we escape. We distract ourselves. We do something that gets our mind off our current problem. Our distraction might be binge-watching a Netflix series, playing video games or even just scrolling through our phone – really just about anything other than facing the problem. But when does a harmless distraction become a harmful habit? How do you know when a little break from the stress has become a practiced way of avoiding reality? That's what this message is all about and more importantly, how to be set free.______Discussion Questions1. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being very little and 10 being a lot), how much do you personally struggle with perfectionism? When you think back to the pressures of society and the influence of parents and other authority figures, what messages did you internalize that contributed to the problem of perfectionism?2. What has perfectionism cost you professionally, physically, psychologically, relationally and spiritually? Can you think of any other ways your life has been adversely affected by perfectionism?3. People with perfectionistic tendencies often struggle with forgiving themselves. Has this ever been an issue for you? What did you learn today that might be useful in the future as an alternative to beating yourself up over and over again?4. What were some of the things that stood out most to you in today's message? Any new learnings about perfectionism or yourself? How will you take what you learned today and incorporate it into your life?5. Discuss the ideas of progress not perfection and the willingness to do things poorly.

Send us a textISMS that Poison the Soul Materialism | Part 3Senior Pastor Keith StewartMay 11, 2025Materialism is not about the amount, it's about our attitude. When Jesus addressed materialism in the Sermon on the Mount, He spoke of necessities not luxuries. He also gave us the surest sign of materialism and that's worry. This Sunday, we'll learn how to be set free from this toxic “ISM”.__________Discussion Questions: 1. Some Christians define sin in terms of sinful acts (observable external behaviors). In this way, we are much like the Pharisees who did the same. But Scripture has always been careful to define sin primarily as desires gone awry – that our internal want is broken. So whether you're talking about lust, greed, or coveting, before we ever commit an external act, we crave something internally first. Why do some Christians define sin in terms of external observable acts alone? Why are we so reluctant to admit that our desires are the real problem? Why do we try to justify our coveting or explain it away? Why do we only deal with the fruit instead of the root?2. Rate yourself as a worrier. On a scale of 1 to 10 with 1 being “not worried at all” and 10 being debilitating worry. Where would you put yourself on that scale? What tends to be your biggest worries? What, if anything, did you learn in today's message that might help you better deal with worries when they arise? 3. Real wealth is determined not by our houses, cars or money in the bank but by our character, contentment, generosity and relationships. Why do these things matter more than the other things? Have you known people who were rich in one or more of these areas? What were they like? What did you learn from them? How do they inspire you to be rich where it counts? 4. To be truly rich in relationships is to be rich in our friendships, marriage and with God. Where are you strongest? Where are you weakest? What practical steps can you begin to take to make incremental improvements in all of your relationships?
