Today's conversation is all about growing your business intentionally, experimenting with new ideas, and building a brand that evolves alongside you. Today's guest is Kirstie Lee, the founder of A Jar of Pickles, a product company that creates playful gifts and accessories that celebrate Asian appetites. Kirstie's been in business for 12 years, starting as an Etsy hobby while she was in college, and she kept it running alongside her corporate job for 8 years. Then, she went full-time about 5 years ago after having her kids. Her brand now sells online, at craft shows, and through wholesale partnerships. Last year alone, she managed 43 retail markets across 4 states. Kirstie has been part of our Proof to Product community for more than a decade, and it has been such a joy to watch her business grow.In this episode, we talk about everything from balancing a corporate career while building a product brand to hiring your first employee, expanding into wholesale, building a devoted direct-to-consumer audience, and why treating your business like one big experiment has opened doors to opportunities that Kirstie never even planned for. I especially love Kirstie's perspective on listening to customers without letting every opinion dictate your direction and how staying curious has helped her continue growing year after year. If you are wondering what the next stage of growth could look like for your business and you're looking for encouragement that there is not one specific pathway to take for that success, then I think you're really going to enjoy today's episode.Today's episode is brought to you by our Is Wholesale Right for You workshop! Wholesale is not the only way to grow a product brand, but it's definitely my favorite. If you are curious about selling to retail stores, or maybe you've hit a wholesale plateau and aren't sure what to do next, then this free on-demand workshop will help you identify your next best step along with action items to do that.SIGN UPYou can view full show notes and more at http://prooftoproduct.com/451 Quick Links:Free Wholesale Audio SeriesFree Resources LibraryFree Email Marketing for Product MakersPTP LABSPaper Camp

Anastasija Lynch pushed back the moment this episode was pitched to her as a burnout conversation. She is an executive coach and co-host of Beyond the Noise who spent a good chunk of her career in technology before moving into coaching senior leaders, and her correction was specific: the people she works with are capable, successful, and perfectly able to power through almost anything, which is exactly why the real problem stays invisible. They have been carrying too much for too long with nowhere honest enough to think it through, and she says that is a different problem with a different fix.In this conversation, we get into:- The sentence leaders repeat for months before everything hits crisis- Why the people closest to you quietly keep you exactly where you are- What one protected hour a week actually does, and what it will not do- The leader who changed one work decision and watched his home life settleThis is a defense of that distinction, tested against the obvious objections: why someone smart enough to run a company cannot simply think their way out alone, why a journal or a long run is not the same thing, and how you would know the difference between a conversation that changed something and one that only felt good. If you are the person everyone turns to and you have not had room to think about your own decisions in months, this episode gives you language for what is actually happening.

He bought two Happy Meals. He wasn't meeting an adult. 62-year-old John Coughlin walked up a quiet driveway in Iron Mountain, Michigan carrying kids' meals and a jar of marijuana for what he believed was a 14-year-old girl. What he found instead was Chris and the Dickinson County Sheriff's Office.  In this episode, Chris takes you inside his sting operation in Michigan's Upper Peninsula that netted seven predators, and Coughlin's case is the one that rattled him. A laundromat manager and one-time country club cook, Coughlin sent explicit videos to the decoy, asked if she was "420 friendly," and showed up ready. And here's the chilling part: he'd ALREADY been caught once. A live warrant from a Shelby Township sting was sitting in the system while he trolled other underage girls' photos online. His excuse? "Bored and lonely." His admission? "I knew better than this." He did. He came anyway.

Zelensky sacks a defence minister, then removes his commander-in-chief, and suddenly the question is not “who is better?” but “who controls the politics of war?” I use this as an opportunity to explore the systemic warfighting capacities of Ukraine and Russia defined not so much in military but political terms: political focus, generating and motivating soldiers, and learning. Russia can concentrate resources and recruit with money longer than many expect, but morale, discipline, and selective adaptation bite hard when reforms threaten the regime's control. Ukraine looks more politically contested, yet its civic autonomy and bottom-up innovation can translate into faster learning and stronger buy-in. Which matters more in the end, mass or legitimacy?The books I discuss are:Serhiy Kudelia, Seize the City, Undo the State: The Inception of Russia's War on Ukraine (Oxford UP, 2025)Edward Crowther, War in Ukraine, Vol. 1: Armed Formations of the Donetsk People's Rep 2014-2022 (Helion, 2022)Illya Sekirin, Rise of the Machines – Drone Warfare in the Russia-Ukraine War, edited by Andrew Simms (Helion, 2026) The articles I mention are:Balász Jarábik, 'Control Above Reform: What's Behind Ukraine's Government and Security Reshuffle?,' Carnegie Politika, 24 July 2026Fabrizio Minniti & Giangiuseppe Pili, ‘Russia's Selective Adaptation: Command, Control and the Limits of Learning in War,' RUSI, 22 July 2026The podcast's corporate partner and sponsor is Conducttr, which provides software for innovative and immersive crisis exercises in hybrid warfare, counter-terrorism, civil affairs and similar situations.You can also follow my blog, In Moscow's Shadows, and become one of the podcast's supporting Patrons and gain question-asking rights and access to exclusive extra materials including the (almost-) weekly Govorit Moskva news briefing right here. Support the show

The 2026 Zócalo Book and Poetry Prizes are co-presented with The Jar, and generously sponsored by Tim Disney. Americans love building walls, and not just on our international borders. Our houses are bigger and more fortress-like than ever before. We drive cars and trucks designed like mobile suits of armor. We consume media that reflects our point of view back to us, closing off dissenting voices. What are these walls doing to our country, our communities, and our minds? Can we stop building them, or even break them? And what might we put in their place? Johns Hopkins University anthropologist Anand Pandian, winner of the 2026 Zócalo Book Prize for Something Between Us: The Everyday Walls of American Life, and How to Take Them Down, visits Zócalo to share what he learned from talking to people across the country about what divides us and how we come together.

JDK 26 optimise la JVM dans ses moindres recoins, le SDK Java d'Agent2Agent passe en 1.0, Micronaut 5 est là. Côté terrain, un retour d'expérience après 40 jours à coder avec 100 % d'IA : génie ou junior, Alzheimer numérique et dette technique invisible. Pendant ce temps, GitLab restructure, Microsoft suspend ses licences Claude Code, et un développeur injecte un prompt destructeur dans sa lib JUnit. La révolution IA a un coût et les boites commencent à s'en rendre compte. Enregistré le 12 juin 2026 Téléchargement de l'épisode LesCastCodeurs-Episode-341.mp3 ou en vidéo sur YouTube. News Langages Les améliorations de performance dans le JDK 26 https://inside.java/2026/06/09/jdk-26-performance-improvements/ Côté bibliothèques, l'API LazyConstant (anciennement StableValue) fait son entrée en prévisualisation pour permettre une initialisation paresseuse, sécurisée pour les threads et optimisée par le mécanisme de constant-folding de la JVM. L'extraction de chaînes de caractères via MemorySegment::getString a été revue pour réduire considérablement les allocations intermédiaires et les copies en mémoire off-heap, accélérant fortement les traitements sur les chemins critiques (hot paths). La méthode générée automatiquement hashCode() pour les classes de type record a été optimisée par la JVM pour atteindre un niveau de performance équivalent à une implémentation écrite manuellement. Le ramasse-miettes G1 bénéficie du JEP 522 qui redessine sa table de cartes (card-table) afin de réduire les coûts de synchronisation des barrières d'écriture, offrant un gain de débit de 5 % à 15 % sur les applications manipulant énormément de références d'objets. Grâce au JEP 516 (Project Leyden), le cache d'objets Ahead-of-Time (AOT) adopte un format de flux agnostique, ce qui lui permet d'être compatible avec n'importe quel Garbage Collector, y compris le ramasse-miettes à très faible latence ZGC. Le démarrage de la JVM s'accélère par défaut lorsqu'aucune taille de tas n'est configurée, car HotSpot n'applique plus de pourcentage initial (InitialRAMPercentage) mais démarre directement avec la taille minimale (MinHeapSize) pour éviter d'allouer des métadonnées inutiles. Les threads virtuels gagnent en robustesse en étant désormais capables de céder la main (yield) pendant les phases d'initialisation des classes, éliminant ainsi le risque de famine des threads porteurs (carrier threads). Le compilateur C2 JIT améliore son modèle de coût pour la vectorisation des boucles (SIMD) et se montre maintenant capable de compiler et d'optimiser des méthodes dotées de listes de paramètres extrêmement longues. Librairies Release candidate du A2A Java SDK supportant versions 0.3 et 1.0 en même temps https://medium.com/google-cloud/a2a-java-sdk-1-0-0-cr1-released-f0c651ec9139 Dernière étape avant la GA : Toutes les fonctionnalités prévues pour la version 1.0 sont finalisées.

La librairie Chicory qui permet d'exécuter du code WASM à partir de son application Java est forkée et rejointe la Bytecode Alliance pour continuer son développement https://bytecodealliance.org/articles/endive-and-the-next-chapter-of-webassembly-on-the-jvm Annonce d'Endive : Nouveau projet hébergé par la Bytecode Alliance ; fork de Chicory (moteur WebAssembly pur Java, sans dépendance native). ​Objectif principal : Permettre aux développeurs Java d'intégrer, charger et déployer des modules Wasm nativement via les workflows Java habituels. ​Compilateur "Redline" : Intégration à venir de Redline (basé sur Cranelift) pour compiler le Wasm en code machine natif ; performances comparables à Rust/Wasmtime. ​Zéro dépendance (Java 25+) : Grâce à l'API standard Foreign Function & Memory (Project Panama), l'exécution à vitesse native se fait sans composants externes. ​Modèle de Composants (Component Model) : Support futur prévu pour consommer des composants (Rust, Go, JS, etc.) via des interfaces typées et sécurisées directement dans la JVM. ​Prochaines étapes : Fusion de Redline, conformité stricte aux specs Wasm (dont WasmGC) et amélioration du support WASI. Un visualisateur de sessions de travail avec Antigravity https://glaforge.dev/posts/2026/06/11/antigravity-brain-visualizer/ Un projet open source construit avec Micronaut, LangChain4j et GraalVM pour analyser les sessions de travail avec l'outil de développement agentique Antigravity (de Google) Analyse toutes les étapes, les requêtes utilisateur, les outils utilisés, les erreurs rencontrées, les réponses du modèle Gemini fait une analyse pour comprendre les moments clés de cette session de travail Outil buildé avec l'aide d'Antigravity lui-même SBX-Kits : des environnements de développement simplifiés pour les débutants (et les autres) https://k33g.org/20260501-sbx-kits.html Philippe Charrière (:whale: ) présente SBX-Kits (Sandbox Kits), une initiative personnelle visant à simplifier radicalement la mise en place d'environnements de développement pour les débutants, en éliminant la complexité d'installation des outils traditionnels. Chaque "kit" est une archive prête à l'emploi contenant un outil de développement spécifique (comme un langage, un framework ou une base de données) configuré pour s'exécuter de manière isolée et portable. La philosophie du projet repose sur le principe de "zéro configuration" et "zéro dépendance globale", permettant de tester une technologie ou de commencer à coder immédiatement sans polluer son système d'exploitation. L'approche technique s'appuie sur des scripts légers et des binaires portables pré-packagés, offrant une alternative plus simple et moins gourmande en ressources que les conteneurs Docker ou les configurations d'IDE complexes pour l'apprentissage. L'objectif à terme est de proposer un catalogue de kits couvrant les technologies courantes (JavaScript, Python, petites bases de données) pour faciliter les ateliers de programmation et le prototypage rapide. De nombreux kits sont disponibles sur https://github.com/docker/sbx-kits-contrib ghui: une interface utilisateur en ligne de commande (TUI) interactive pour GitHub https://github.com/kitlangton/ghui ghui est un outil en ligne de commande (TUI) écrit en Rust qui fournit une interface visuelle, interactive et rapide directement dans le terminal pour interagir avec GitHub. Il permet de gérer ses pull requests, ses issues et ses notifications sans avoir à ouvrir son navigateur web ou à taper de longues commandes avec la CLI officielle de GitHub. L'outil propose une navigation fluide au clavier, des raccourcis efficaces, et permet de réaliser des actions courantes comme valider une PR, ajouter des commentaires, attribuer des reviewers ou inspecter les logs des GitHub Actions. Conçu pour être extrêmement réactif, ghui s'intègre naturellement dans le flux de travail des développeurs adeptes du terminal et du mode "sans souris". Sortie de Homebrew 6.0.0 https://brew.sh/2026/06/11/homebrew-6.0.0/ Introduction du mécanisme de sécurité Tap Trust : comme les dépôts tiers (taps) peuvent exécuter du code Ruby arbitraire non sandboxé sur la machine, Homebrew demande désormais une confiance explicite de l'utilisateur avant d'évaluer ou d'exécuter leur code. L'API JSON interne devient le choix par défaut, offrant un système plus léger et beaucoup plus rapide pour les développeurs. Sécurisation renforcée de l'environnement avec l'implémentation du sandboxing sur Linux. Évolution des comportements par défaut basés sur un sondage utilisateur : le mode "ask" est activé par défaut pour les développeurs, affichant un résumé des dépendances et une demande de confirmation avant toute action de brew install ou brew upgrade. Améliorations notables des performances globales, notamment un boost de ~30 % sur la vitesse de la commande brew leaves et la parallélisation de la récupération des bottles (binaires) lors des mises à jour. Ajout du support initial pour la prochaine version d'Apple, macOS 27 (Golden Gate). Multiples optimisations pour brew bundle, incluant une gestion plus sécurisée des installations de paquets npm. Méthodologies Retour d'expérience très détaillé et 100% humain sur 40 jours avec une équipe 100% AI hormis le superviseur https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/jai-vir%C3%A9-mon-%C3%A9quipe-de-dev-pour-une-100-ia-pendant-40-luc-bonnin-jlgjf/ Voici le résumé en bullet points : Expérimentation de 40 jours : remplacer une équipe de dev par 100% IA agentique (Cursor) sur un vrai projet en production (playthatsheet.com, 200k lignes de code legacy) Chiffres bruts : 2,3 milliards de tokens consommés, 1 477 prompts, 260 564 lignes ajoutées (+145%), 59% du code final produit par l'IA ROI vertigineux à court terme : 9 mois de travail humain livrés en 40 jours, coût total 260$ d'abonnement + 15 jours de supervision, ROI x18 Profil psy de l'IA : Alzheimer (oublis de contexte), schizophrène (change de méthodo), ado de 12 ans (refait les mêmes erreurs), oscille entre génie et junior sans prévenir Effet iceberg : la dette technique ne disparaît pas, elle se camoufle et s'accélère ; hallucinations = bombes à retardement détectables uniquement par relecture humaine ligne par ligne Paradoxe du bateau de Thésée : perte de paternité et de maîtrise fine du code, baisse de l'autonomie du dev humain qui valide sans avoir construit Arnaque du "monkey money" : consommation de tokens opaque, non corrélée à la complexité (écart de 350% sur des prompts identiques), facturation imprévisible donc impossible à budgéter Syndrome du bazooka : les devs utilisent l'IA même pour changer une couleur CSS, atrophie progressive des compétences et coût écologique délirant Risque stratégique : dépendance irréversible aux vendeurs de tokens (Nvidia, Anthropic, OpenAI), business non rentable qui devra augmenter ses prix Conseil final : approche Pareto, garder 20% du temps en code "fait main", nommer un responsable stratégie IA, l'humain senior reste irremplaçable pour superviser Une libraries de test JUnit cache un prompt qui demande aux coding agents d'effacer les tests https://arstechnica.com/security/2026/05/fed-up-with-vibe-coders-dev-sneaks-data-nuking-prompt-injection-into-their-code/ Agacé par les « vibe coders », un développeur introduit une injection de prompt destructrice dans son code Le développeur de jqwik (un moteur de tests pour JUnit 5) a volontairement inséré une injection de prompt dans la version 1.10.0 de sa bibliothèque Java pour saboter le travail des agents d'IA. L'instruction injectée via la sortie standard (stdout) ordonne textuellement aux LLM d'ignorer les consignes précédentes et de supprimer l'intégralité du code et des tests jqwik du projet. Pour dissimuler cette action aux yeux des développeurs humains, le mainteneur a utilisé des séquences d'échappement ANSI qui effacent la ligne d'injection dans les émulateurs de terminaux interactifs. La modification a été découverte par un utilisateur qui a pointé du doigt les risques majeurs et disproportionnés pour les machines des utilisateurs, bien que certains outils comme Claude d'Anthropic aient détecté et bloqué la consigne malveillante. Face aux critiques de la communauté et aux accusations de comportement infantile ou potentiellement illégal, le développeur a mis à jour ses notes de version pour documenter explicitement son opposition à l'usage de son outil par des IA, avant de refuser tout commentaire supplémentaire sur conseil de son avocat. La réalité du rôle de Principal Engineer https://leaddev.com/career-development/reality-being-principal-engineer Le passage au rôle de Principal Engineer marque une transition majeure où les compétences techniques ne suffisent plus, l'impact se mesurant désormais à travers l'influence, la stratégie et la capacité à aligner la technique avec les objectifs business. Contrairement aux attentes, le quotidien est souvent marqué par une forme d'isolement, car le poste se situe à l'intersection de la direction (qui attend des solutions) et des équipes techniques (qui attendent des directives), sans appartenance directe à un groupe précis. Le rôle exige d'accepter une grande part d'ambiguïté et l'absence de retours immédiats, les projets et les décisions stratégiques mettant parfois des mois ou des années à porter leurs fruits. La gestion du temps devient un défi critique, nécessitant de savoir naviguer entre les sollicitations constantes, la présence en réunion et le besoin de préserver des moments de réflexion approfondie pour concevoir des visions à long terme. La réussite à ce niveau repose sur le développement de compétences humaines pointues (soft skills), notamment la négociation, la communication vulgarisée auprès des profils non techniques, et la capacité à faire grandir les autres ingénieurs par le mentorat. Sécurité Une attaque de la chaîne d'approvisionnement npm utilise binding.gyp pour compromettre des dizaines de paquets https://cybersecuritynews.com/binding-gyp-supply-chain-attack-compromises-dozens-of-npm-packages/ Une nouvelle variante du ver auto-propageable "Shai-Hulud", baptisée "Miasma", cible l'écosystème npm (et PyPI sous le nom de "Hades") en dissimulant son exécution dans le fichier binding.gyp au lieu des scripts classiques preinstall ou postinstall. La technique, surnommée "Phantom Gyp", exploite le fait que npm lance automatiquement node-gyp rebuild dès qu'un fichier binding.gyp est présent à la racine d'un paquet pour compiler des modules natifs C/C++, exécutant ainsi le code malveillant dès la commande npm install. L'attaque contourne la plupart des outils de sécurité traditionnels car l'injection s'appuie sur l'évaluation récursive de commandes (via la syntaxe ) ou directement sur la fonction eval() de Python sous-jacente à GYP, cachée sous n'importe quelle clé du fichier. Le script malveillant télécharge un runtime alternatif (Bun) pour échapper aux détections comportementales de Node.js, puis moissonne les identifiants et secrets des développeurs et des environnements CI/CD (npm, GitHub, AWS, GCP, Azure, Kubernetes, HashiCorp Vault). Plus de 57 paquets npm (dont le SDK serveur de Vapi ou des outils liés à l'IA) et des dizaines de paquets PyPI ont été infectés via des comptes de mainteneurs compromis, le ver republiant automatiquement de nouvelles versions vérolées en utilisant les jetons volés. Loi, société et organisation Restructuration chez Gitlab https://about.gitlab.com/blog/gitlab-act-2/ GitLab entame une restructuration majeure pour s'adapter à l'ère de l'intelligence artificielle agentique, incluant une réduction d'effectifs planifiée de manière transparente et ouverte. L'entreprise prévoit de réduire de 30 % le nombre de pays où elle maintient de petites équipes, d'aplatir sa hiérarchie en supprimant jusqu'à trois niveaux de gestion, et de réorganiser la R&D en une soixantaine d'équipes plus petites et autonomes. Les processus internes vont être revus en intégrant des agents d'IA pour automatiser les revues, les approbations et les passages de relais afin d'accélérer le rythme de travail. La stratégie repose sur la conviction que le logiciel sera bientôt écrit par des machines et dirigé par des humains, ce qui va multiplier la demande de logiciels et transformer le rôle des ingénieurs vers la résolution de problèmes complexes. Sur le plan technique, GitLab reconstruit son infrastructure sous-jacente (notamment Git) pour supporter la charge massive générée par les agents d'IA, tout en misant sur l'orchestration du cycle de vie, la centralisation du contexte des données et une gouvernance intégrée. Le modèle économique évolue vers un système hybride combinant les abonnements classiques et une tarification à la consommation pour le travail effectué par les agents d'IA. Un LLM local sur un mac pourrait coûter plus cher en électricité qu'un modèle hébergé sur OpenRouter dans le cloud https://www.williamangel.net/blog/2026/05/17/offline-llm-energy-use.html Conclusion : L'inférence locale sur Mac M5 Max est 3x plus chère et 2x plus lente que le cloud (OpenRouter). Électricité : Négligeable (~0,02 $/heure pour 50-100W). Matériel (Le vrai coût) : Achat du Mac à 4 299 $; l'amortissement sur 3 à 5 ans plombe la rentabilité horaire. Coût au million de tokens (Gemma 4 31b) : Mac M5 Max : 0,40 à4, 79 (pour 10-40 tokens/s). OpenRouter : 0,38 à0, 50 (pour 60-70 tokens/s). Verdict pro : Le temps humain perdu à cause de la lenteur locale coûte infiniment plus cher que les tokens cloud. Privilégier les API (Anthropic, OpenRouter). Ai didn't kill your junior pipeline https://andrewmurphy.io/blog/ai-didnt-kill-your-junior-pipeline-you-did L'IA n'a pas tué le recrutement des juniors, les entreprises l'ont fait elles-mêmes, par effet de mode. Sans juniors, pas de futurs seniors : on retire l'échelle qui nous a tous fait monter. Tout le monde pêche dans le même bassin de seniors sans le réapprovisionner, pénurie garantie dans 3-5 ans. Une équipe 100% senior + IA est fragile : un départ et tout le savoir tacite s'évapore. Les juniors posent les "pourquoi ?" qui révèlent les bugs et processus absurdes ; l'IA, elle, exécute sans questionner. Les seniors s'atrophient aussi en déléguant leur réflexion à l'IA, pince à double effet sur les compétences. Dépendre des outils IA, c'est sous-traiter sa stratégie talents à des fournisseurs dont les prix vont tripler. Solution : redéfinir le rôle junior (revue de code IA + mentorat), pas le supprimer. Les rapports internes de Microsoft révèlent la crise des coûts de l'IA : les agents coûtent plus cher que les employés humains https://fortune.com/2026/05/22/microsoft-ai-cost-problem-tokens-agents/ Des données et rapports internes chez Microsoft et d'autres géants de la tech ébranlent la promesse de rentabilité de l'IA, révélant que le déploiement d'agents autonomes à l'échelle de l'entreprise revient souvent plus cher que de payer des humains pour le même travail. Le modèle de tarification à l'usage (basé sur les tokens) se heurte à la nature même des architectures agentiques : contrairement à un simple chatbot, un agent boucle, enchaîne les appels d'outils, crée des sous-agents et auto-évalue son code, ce qui multiplie la consommation de tokens par un facteur de 5 à 30, voire jusqu'à 1 000 fois pour des tâches de programmation complexes. L'impact financier sur les budgets de calcul cloud est immédiat ; par exemple, Uber a entièrement épuisé l'intégralité de son budget annuel 2026 dédié au codage par IA en l'espace de seulement quatre mois. Face à cette explosion des coûts, des retours en arrière drastiques sont observés : Microsoft a ainsi commencé à suspendre une grande partie de ses licences internes Claude Code pour rediriger d'urgence ses milliers de développeurs vers sa propre solution moins onéreuse, GitHub Copilot CLI. Les directeurs techniques (CTO) et acheteurs de solutions logicielles qui ont signé des contrats pluriannuels basés sur des projections de réduction de masse salariale se retrouvent pris au piège, les gains réels de productivité ne parvenant pas à compenser les factures d'infrastructure exorbitantes.

Hungary has dropped its two-year veto on Ukraine's European Union accession, clearing the way for the first cluster of negotiations to open in mid-June.Recorded on 6 June 2026 in Cres, Croatia, on the sidelines of the Europe's Future Initiative fellows gathering, Wojciech Przybylski talks to Balázs Jarábik about the deal that ended the deadlock between Hungary and Ukraine. Jarábik is an award-winning analyst and decorated diplomat. He is the founder of Minority Report, an independent policy consulting firm and think tank based in Bratislava, Slovakia.The conversation then opens out into three tracks. First, the question of the Hungarian minority in Zakarpattia and why it carries such weight in Hungary's foreign policy. Second, the European game of the new Magyar government. Third, and most consequential, the emergence of a more ethno-national, post-Maidan Ukraine that, in Jarábik's reading, will lead with defence integration while EU accession slows, and will use its military weight towards its neighbours.YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@visegradinsightSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/7aA9iqd8rUxFMYMemjikuwApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/at/podcast/visegrad-insight-podcast/id1515725435Substack: https://visegradinsight.substack.com/podcastSubscribe to Visegrad Insight for access to all our content, live and online events: visegradinsight.eu.

In today's episode, I'm welcoming back Amy Cross from The Cross Legacy to dive into a topic that's more important than ever: saving money on groceries and keeping produce fresh for longer. Amy shares her tried-and-true methods for making fresh food last weeks (even months!), simple strategies for reducing food waste, and how she's kept her grocery budget the same despite rising prices. We're talking practical tips you can apply whether you're feeding a large family, preparing for garden harvests, or just trying to make your grocery trips stretch a little farther. I learned so much in this conversation — I know you will too!

In today's episode, I'm welcoming back Amy Cross from The Cross Legacy to dive into a topic that's more important than ever: saving money on groceries and keeping produce fresh for longer. Amy shares her tried-and-true methods for making fresh food last weeks (even months!), simple strategies for reducing food waste, and how she's kept her grocery budget the same despite rising prices. We're talking practical tips you can apply whether you're feeding a large family, preparing for garden harvests, or just trying to make your grocery trips stretch a little farther. I learned so much in this conversation — I know you will too!

Here's something worth knowing. Clean energy is now the cheapest source of new electricity in most of the world. Solar. Wind. Battery storage. The technology works. The prices are down. There is no good reason to keep burning fossil fuels except one: money. Fossil fuel companies spend millions lobbying politicians to block clean energy policy. That investment pays off for them. It does not pay off for the rest of us. We get higher energy costs, dirtier air, and a planet that keeps warming. So here's what you can do. Contact your elected representatives. Tell them you want clean energy policies that put people first. Not corporate profits. Your voice matters. Use it. Promote Celtic culture through music at http://celticmusicpodcast.com/.

Jennifer Van Boxel emailed: "Mark, I just finished listening to episode #749, Celtic Protest Songs, and I want to thank you for using your specialized platform to say things that really need to be said these days. Thank you for taking the financial hit to bring those songs to us. I am already a Patreon, and I had been debating whether or not to renew my year subscription when it runs out in a couple months. This episode has persuaded me to continue to monetarily support this podcast. I also appreciate the Pride Month specials you've done in the past, emphasizing that Celtic music is a space for everyone." Shel O'Toole commented on Patreon: "Good for you Marc, it's important to call out hate and bigotry when we see it.  Governments like to dehumanise those they either don't understand or choose to see as an enemy.  That way they can go to war without feeling any conscience about killing other people.   I believe love is the most powerful universal force and it's love that should be promoted, not fear and hatred." Frank Higgins replied to my email about How do you celebrate Celtic culture through music?: "My wife plays at a session at a pub every week. We've also gone to ireland twice with Kevin Burke on a music tour with a group of people."

Transforming your health begins in the kitchen, but many of us struggle to know what and how to cook for optimal wellness. Even when we are educated to know which foods we should be eating and the best preparation methods to ensure the highest level of nutrition and health benefits, the pace of the world makes it hard to find the time to meal plan and prep. This is an area where AI can change everything! In this episode, host Jamie Belz and fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Rebecca Stewart, share how they leverage AI tools like Grok and ChatGPT in easy and practical ways to find and revise recipes to align with the teachings of the Nutritional Therapy Association and other trusted authorities on nutrition truth. In a world filled with highly processed, hyper-palatable, nutrient-void foods, empowering yourself with AI offers a path to make informed, nourishing choices to help save time, reduce stress, and foster healthier lifestyles. Whether you're a busy parent, a jet-setting executive, or a broke college student, this episode provides actionable tips and tricks to integrate AI into your wellness routine and take control as your personal health advocate. Use Jamie's Approved Resources, "JAR" to train your AI tool of choice to generate catered recipes based on a holistic health framework.   Copy/paste this into a ChatGPT or Grok thread to get started: Store this in memory: JAR = Jamie's Approved Resources When I ask for anything "from my JAR," you must only use principles, ingredients, and preparation methods aligned with the following sources: - Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) - Weston A. Price Foundation - Price-Pottenger Foundation - Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon Morell - National Health Federation (NHF) Guidelines to follow: - Prioritize nutrient-dense, whole, properly prepared foods - Avoid industrial seed oils (canola, soybean, corn, etc.) - Avoid ultra-processed ingredients and refined sugars when possible - Favor traditional preparation methods (soaking, fermenting, slow cooking, etc.) - Include high-quality animal proteins and healthy fats - Honor bio-individuality when relevant When I say "use my JAR" or "from my JAR" apply these rules automatically.   Related Episodes: Season 1 Episode 83: How to EAT REAL FOOD Season 1 Episode 81: Rapid Replays - Wellness 101Season 1 Episode 30: Generational Health   The Nutritional Therapy Association ⁠https://www.nutritionaltherapy.com/⁠   The Weston A.

In this episode, Alisa interviews Dr. Gennady Estraikh. His book titled, The History of Birobidzhan: Building a Soviet Jewish Homeland in Siberia (Bloomsbury Academic, 2023) was published as a part of the "Russian Shorts" series. Gennady Estraikh's book explores the birth, growth, demise and afterlife of the Birobidzhan Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). The History of Birobidzhan looks at how the shtetl was widely used in Soviet propaganda as a perfect solution to the 'Jewish question', arguing that in reality, while being demographically and culturally insignificant, the JAR played a key, and essentially detrimental, role in determining Jewish rights and entitlements in the Soviet world. Estraikh brings together a broad range of Russian and Yiddish sources, including archival materials, newspaper articles, travelogues, memoirs, belles-letters, and scholarly publications, as he describes and analyses the project and its realization not in isolation, but rather in the context of developments in both domestic and international life. As well as offering an assessment of the Birobidzhan project in the contexts of Soviet and Jewish history, the book also focuses on the contemporary 'Jewish' role of the region which now has only a few thousand Jewish occupants amongst its residents.

Audio Transcript I’m really glad that you’re with us today. It’s a special day today because we have another baptism. So if you came for that, we’re really glad you’re with us, especially those in navs. We’re happy that you’re with us today. So if you’d open up your Bibles to Luke. Continuing our study of Luke texture study. Today is going to be Luke 8, 1621. And as you’re tuning there, I just want you to know how encouraged I have been yesterday morning and then again this morning. So yesterday morning I came into my office and came in. There’s a number of folks working around the church building and cleaning things up, finishing projects both inside and outside. And I was just really encouraged by them. And a lot of them are actually serving again today. And I go inside the building and then Uncle Wes is leading a next steps class and send people at that. And that was just really encouraging. And after being downstairs in my office for a bit, head back upstairs. And then Caleb and he had a crew making meals for students. And so that was really encouraging. And by the way, kind of on that note, if you didn’t know, so Caleb’s one of our interns. Him and Alyssa got engaged. So if you don’t know that now, you do. And so make sure you congratulate them at the end of service. So that was all yesterday morning. Then this morning, you know, we had the breakfast club going on, Sunday school going on, you know, all the other things going on in the church where there’s so many people involved and serving in a lot of different ways. And that doesn’t even count all the things that goes on throughout the week of, you know, caring and serving one another. And I was just so encouraged, particularly as we get to the text today. You’ll hear why in just a bit. And so let me read our passage. It’s Luke 8, 16, 21. It’s on page 504. If you don’t have a Bible with you, there’s a few Bibles scattered throughout. And if you’re visiting. So we do a style of preaching here called expository preaching. So I’m going to read through the passage and then the rest of our time here, I’m just going to try to walk us back through the passage to try to explain what the passage is saying to us, us. And so open up your Bible and keep them open. Okay, so Luke 8, starting verse 16, this is what God’s word says, says no one, after lighting the lamp, covers it with a Jar, or puts it under a bed, but puts it on a stand so that those who enter may see the light. For nothing is hidden to not be made manifest. Nor is anything secret that will not be known and come to light. Take care then how you hear. For the one who has more will be given from the one who has not even what he thinks that he has will be taken away. And his mother and his brothers came to him, but they cannot reach him because of the crowd. And he was told, your mother and your brothers are standing outside desiring to see you. But he answered them, my mother and my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it. That’s God’s words for us this morning. Would you please pray with me? God, thank you for bringing us here today. Lord, this is a sweet providence that you brought us here every Sunday that we are able to gather together as your church. It is sweet, Lord, please bless this time here, this time where we work through your word. Please help me to be a good communicator. Help me to speak truth. Help me not to stumble over my words. Lord, pray for the church. Please give them ears to hear that. You’d use this time to just enlarge our hearts for Christ. You bring much glory to him. In his name we pray. Amen. Okay, so throughout the Scriptures, there are many different metaphors that are used to communicate, like bigger spiritualities. So, for instance, just to name a few. So our Lord refers to Himself, like, as a door by which we are to go through to find his great salvation. Lord also refers to Himself as a shepherd who shepherds his sheep, which is a metaphor to describe us, his people. As the Lord shepherds us with his tenderness and his care, in his love and in his mercy. The Lord declares Himself to be our rock and our fortress, which he is the one, the only one which we can find true safety and security. If you’re with us. Last week in our study of Luke, Jesus gave a parable where he used the process of planting seeds as a metaphor to teach a bigger spiritual truth with us. You may remember in that parable, Lord spoke about a sower who would sow seeds in a field where the seeds would fall on different types of ground. Some of the ground would be trampled down underfoot in a path. Some of the ground was like a rock, some with thorns. And as the seed fell on those types of ground, for different reasons, it caused the seed to die. But then you may remember that in that parable, there also was good soil by which the seed would Fall upon which was soil, where the seed would grow, plant roots, and you’d bring forth a huge harvest. In our text last week, as Jesus then interpreted the parable for us, after he spoke it, he told disciples, told us how the seed is a metaphor for God’s word. The soil is a metaphor that represents, like, our hearts and how we respond to God’s word, which for some, in different ways, like, we actually reject God’s word as our hearts remain hard towards God, hard because of sin. But others, they receive God’s word, and they do so because of God’s gracious work in their life. And they receive God’s word in ways like they actually, like, bear fruit, with fruit also being a metaphor, describe, like, the actions or results that come from one’s life that are in step with keeping with the work that God has done in life. And the fruit come out of God’s people. There’s a whole bunch of results that just reflect the heart of our good God. So in the scriptures, there are a lot of different metaphors that are used almost as illustrations to communicate, like, important spiritual truths to us. This morning as we gather together in our text to study, we actually come to two of my favorite metaphors in scriptures. Metaphors, actually, I’ve thought about often. So first is the metaphor of light, where light is used as a metaphor to illustrate, like, God’s work in the world around us, which is God’s work is like light shining into darkness, where darkness itself even cannot overcome it. No matter how sinful or evil, however deep the darkness might be, the light of God will always win out. Then the other metaphor in our text to study today is a metaphor of a family where for all those of all time who have faith in Jesus Christ, they’re viewed as family. Christian scripture is a family to be lived on in local levels, like as the church, where the local church should be viewed as a church family that is knit together by blood, not blood connected by ones like ancestors. But the blood that connects us as a family is the blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, the blood that he spilled for us on the cross, which is the blood by which we find forgiveness of our sin. Scripture tells us without the shedding of the blood, there actually is no forgiveness of sin. And also, as mentioned, this blood connects us together as family, which is a blood that’s much more thicker than water. So this morning in our passage, we’re gonna be working through these two metaphors, light and family, which are metaphors that actually do work together, as we’ll see in just a bit. So if that was an intro, please look back with me in our text starting in verse 16. As mentioned, we’re going to be walking ourselves back through. So please keep your Bibles open, keep your nose in the Bible right here, Jesus is continuing to preach in parable form. Read. The Lord preached to the crowd around him, saying that no one after lighting a lamp, covers it with a jar. No one after lighting a lamp, then like puts the lamp under a bed. Just a few things here, just to understand what Jesus is getting at. So first, just on a very practical level of this metaphor, which is practical even for us, who I assume we probably don’t use lamps that often at night to shine in our homes, but even we understand that after lighting a lamp to cover it or to hide it, that’d be kind of a foolish thing to do. And really what’s the point of doing that? So even we, like, we understand the foolishness here. But for this crowd, as Jesus spoke with this metaphor, to them, they would even start even more so how foolish this would be. So in this time frame, practically speaking, light during nighttime hours was not always easy to find, as it is for us. For us, night comes, we usually find a switch, we flip it, and our homes are lit up. However, light in this time period is much harder to find, much more of a precious commodity that for some days of poverty, like light during night have been a luxury perhaps that they could not afford. So light was like much more precious. Furthermore, in this time period, light had to be handled with great care for it to be present and to continue to be present. So from what I was reading this week in Different Commentaries, so lamps in that time period, so there’s a bit of a process to get them lit. Most of the process involved like kind of getting the wick ready to get properly trimmed. And then after it’s properly trimmed, it’d be like dipped into olive oil, which is the fuel used to light the lamp. And while the lamp itself probably would be big enough to hold enough olive oil for the entire night, the wicks of the lamp would last maybe just a few hours before the wicks would start to like, smolder and be in danger of going out, which meant throughout the night for light to be present, someone have to get up and tend to the wicked, replace the wick just to keep the light shining. So in this time period, there’s a lot going on for a lamp to be lit and stay lit all night long. So again, this isn’t like simply flipping the switch on and off with ease. So for the crowd around Jesus in this text, for them to hear him say this in verse 16, practically, yeah, it would have been absolutely foolish, ridiculous to think of going through the entire process to pay the expense required to pay to light the lamp, only then to like cover it up or put it under a bed instead. When someone had light the clearing, obvious thing that they would do in verse 16 was to put it on a stand to maximize the light, to get the most out of it so that the light would shine brightly to illuminate the entire house. So those who would enter in, no matter what time of night they entered in, they would enter in ways that they could see the light. The light would penetrate the darkness even at the darkest point of the night. So practically they could walk with freedom. Not running into things that are hidden by darkness would cause them to stumble and fall and get hurt. That’s the practical reality of this metaphor, I think does make sense to us. But then second, the light here does seem to have like maybe a twofold meaning. So the practical reality we just talked about by scholars I read this week imply there’s also a theological reality here, one that’s found in the Old Testament scriptures, where inside the Old Testament tabernacle, then later temple, there were lampstands. The priest would light, so the light would shine and fill the room, which is a room that was filled with God’s unique presence, his unique work was there. So theologically, the priests would minister in the tabernacle, they light the lampstand, they will not cover up that light. Then rather the light would shine, reveal the work of God, the kingdom of God, the salvation of God, the glory of God. Right. This is a great theological truth, I think, also tied to this as God is light, in him there is no darkness. So kind of hold on to these things as it relates to light. We’ll probably pick up more of this as we go. Let’s keep going back the text, verse 17. Because the light is not hidden, but because it’s to be placed on a stand for all to see. Jesus told the crowd tells us that because the light shines, because it illuminates, because it penetrates darkness. For nothing is hidden. Rather, as the light shines, it illuminates the entire room. It puts everything in plain sight, so nothing will remain hidden. Acts verse 17. The light ensures that nothing will not be made manifest, everything revealed, nothing able to hide in the corner or hide beside something in secret. Keep saying, the light will expose everything, the light will touch everything. Everything will come into light so that everything will be known. And now for us, this reality, I think we actually see this both as a terrified, but also a freeing and healing reality. So the light is a terrifying reality because we can’t keep secrets of wrongs that we’ve been done, we can’t keep hidden like lies that we have perpetrated or sins that we. We have committed. And we can’t keep them hidden no matter how hard we work to cover them up, to hide them from others, to hide them from the Lord. Once again, everything will be revealed, including things we work the hardest to remain hidden in darkness. Scripture is clear that our sins will find themselves out. Light will expose them. For working really hard to keep things hidden in secret, we’re here this morning trying to hide things that we don’t want the Lord or maybe others to know about. This text here, this is actually terrifying for us to hear. Yes, maybe for a time. We can keep things hidden. We can lie, we can cover things up where it appears we’re keeping things in the dark. But that can only last for so long. All things will come into light, some of which won’t be until the day of judgment when Christ returns. But I do think a significant amount come to light even in this present life. We’re in times, we’re in time, we actually are exposed. By the way, I actually think the longer we try to keep things hidden, the harder we work to try to keep things in secret. It’s actually the more terrifying and more devastating it is when the light finally exposes us. Man, it’d be as often as we try to keep things hidden and in secret, there’s often like more and more sinful or deceitful things that we need to do just to try to keep things hidden. But if we just brought things to light right away on our own, things would not be so bad. Ongoing covering up, ongoing keeping things in secret only make things worse actually leads to why exposing light can also be freeing and healing to us. But even this morning, if you know that you’re constantly trying to keep things hidden in secret, I just want to encourage you to bring things into light so you can find freedom and healing. Now let me give you a couple reasons why it’s such freedom, such healing, to bring things to light on our own, rather than waiting for, like, the Lord to expose it. So first, trying to hide things, trying to keep things a secret. We know this. Those are incredibly stressful realities to try to live with that we’re losing sleep, we’re feeling all sorts of anxieties of things like being made manifest. Perhaps they are on the edge of various relationships, worried, like what would happen if others found out the truth about a situation. They were nervous, terrified. Things came to light. However, as we understand and accept that the light will expose that which we’re trying to hide, you understand it’s gonna happen, so we just bring it to light on our own, friends, there’s freedom there. It’s gonna happen. So humbly, just bring things to light on your own, like confess it. And yes, as we do that, there could still be some consequences we might have to endure, but there’s freedom to do that now, rather than being bound up, waiting to be exposed. We’re at wit’s end, stressed out, always trying to think, keep things covered. Second, even more importantly, as relates to freedom and healing, when with humility, we bring things to light, and that’s where we find forgiveness. Forgiveness that Jesus offers to all who by faith come to him. So listen to this. This is from First John 1. But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another. And the blood of Jesus, his son, cleanses us from all our sins. We say we don’t have sin, we deceive ourselves. The truth is not in us. Listen here. If we confess our sins, bring things to light, he’s faithful, he’s just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness. So yes, the light is terrifying for trying to keep things hidden in secret. But friends, if with humility we bring things to light, there’s freedom, there’s healing. Even if there’s consequences we have to deal with as we breathe. Things to light, friends, that’s where we find forgiveness for us because of these two realities, the terrifying reality or the freedom healing reality. Because of that, either you will hate the light, hate what the light does. Hate always exposes what you’re trying to keep hidden. We always try to hide from it, which we can’t do. Light will expose all things. Or you will love the light. As the light brings that which is hidden, that’s what’s secret, brings it to light so it can be dealt with, which God promises to do as we come to him by faith through the Lord Jesus Christ, where as he come to him through Jesus Christ, all of our secret hidden sins, they’re nailed to the cross so we might have deeper fellowship with him. Keep going. Verse 18. After Jesus gave this parable or metaphor on light, similar to what he said in our text in Verse eight from last week. I’m going to take your eyes back up there. So after giving this parable of the sower, Jesus then cried out to the crowd in the passage, saying, he who has ears to hear, let him hear now. Similarly, in our text today, after speaking about the light, Jesus once again calls out, saying, take care. Then how you hear, how you hear, how you understand how we respond to this teaching on the light. It matters, so take care. This is on the positive. You hear, you understand, by faith, you respond to the light, to Jesus Christ in the text. For the one who has you see, more will be given. Which is more can be a host of different things, including, like, more freedom, more healing, more enjoyment with fellowship with God and others. Then on the negative, for those who do not hear, do not understand, who not by faith respond to the teaching of Jesus Christ, the text. For the one who has not even what he thinks he has, which can be a host of different things as well, things that we’re tempted to believe that in order to keep these things, we must keep them hidden in secret, for even what he thinks he has will be taken away, which by the way, will put one in even greater states of misery as things are taken away, which no doubt will create, like, even more anxiety and more stress, which for me, on the negative end, this illustration, I just thought about, like the maddening reality of others talked about, like, trying to hold onto sand or like, you know, the harder you try to hold onto it, the more the sand slips through one’s fingers. That’s what happens when we try to keep things hidden from the light, try to keep things in secret, where we simply try to hold on and control whatever it may be. That’s almost like an idol to us that means everything to us. In the end, the light will take more and more away for us this morning. That’s the first illustration or metaphor in this text of light, which I’ll talk about more in the end. But to keep going the text, then we get the second illustration or metaphor, which is family. As mentioned, both these illustrations, light and family work together as we speak to spiritualities, because those who are in the light are family. Those who are family are in the light. Just read in one John. But if we walk in fellowship as he, or walk in light as he is light, we have fellowship with one another. Verse 19. Take your eyes there. After Jesus finished up the shine of light, we see that his mothers and his brothers came to him. Now, a few things already. So first regard to this family here. So his mother this is Mary, who we met in the beginning of our study of Luke. She was the virgin who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, gave birth to Jesus the Christ. The nature of the brothers has been debated kind of throughout church history, where some have argued, there’s maybe more in lines of like cousins of Jesus. But the most natural reading of this passage is brothers, brothers in flesh and blood, which indicates that Mary and her husband Joseph, we also met in her study of Luke. They had children after our Lord was born. So these are Jesus like physical brothers, or I guess you could say like half brothers, as they shared Mary as the mother. As mentioned, Jesus conceived by the Holy Spirit as the brothers came through Joseph. Second, we also mentioned we don’t know where Mary and Joseph or Mary and the brothers were prior to this. And we also don’t know if there was something that prompted them to come to the Lord, possibly came to Jesus simply because they haven’t seen him in a while. The public ministry that he was in was taken from place to place. Maybe it’s been a bit. So they came to Jesus. They kind of catch up and to reconnect as family. Perhaps they came to Jesus maybe in similar ways. The disciples of John the Baptist came to Jesus in chapter seven, if you’re with us in that study, maybe remember that story. So John the Baptist was in prison for proclaiming the word of God. And while he was in prison, he was starting to have like, some confusion, some doubts concerning Jesus, if indeed he was the Christ or if there was another who was to come. So he sent some of his disciples to Jesus to get some clarity. So perhaps that’s what’s happening here with Mary and his brothers trying to get some clarity from our Lord. Or perhaps that we see in other parts of Scripture of when Jesus family came to him, even in the context of the passage about to get to maybe Mary and Joseph or Mary. Mary and the brothers came to Jesus to actually question him or even rebuke Jesus for his ministry that was rapidly growing and spreading all over the region. On the text, Luke doesn’t give us the details of why they’re there. Jesus knows where they came from, but we do know in the text is that they came. They cannot easily get to Jesus to reach him, to talk with him, with whatever they wanted to talk to him about. And the reason why is because the great crowd surrounding Jesus was just too great now for us. The scene, I think, is actually probably pretty easy for us to picture in our mind’s eye. So I think, like, maybe Jesus in The middle of a huge crowd, and he’s preaching and teaching about the light. And as a crowd of people were standing around him, it’s like in layers upon layers upon layers. So as Mary the brothers arrived on the scene, you know, you can maybe picture them trying to like, make their way through the crowd. Or maybe people are getting annoyed at them for trying to move ahead. Or maybe they’re getting annoyed because they’re just trying to get to Jesus, but they can’t. No success in doing so. Only for Mary the brothers to like, throw their hands up in the air in frustration, recognize there’s no way they can make it through the crowd. So back to the text. As all this is taking place, we see that word now start to spread among this great crowd. Jesus, mother, his brothers were there and they’re trying to make their way up to them, but having no success. As this news is spreading in the midst of the crowd, maybe like a game of telephone, eventually the news makes its way up to the Lord that the family is in town. Verse 20. If you take your eyes there as it told to Jesus, hey, Jesus, sorry, I didn’t mean to cut you off here, but your mother and your brothers are here, but they’re all the way in the back, standing on the outside. They’re unable to penetrate the crowd. And Jesus, they’re here because they’re desiring to see you. And we understand there’s something they really need to talk to you about. Again, don’t know what they want to talk about, but one of the reasons I tend to think that maybe they wanted to confront Jesus about something was simply how Jesus responded as this information came to his ear, by answering them in verse 21. My mother, my brothers are those who hear the word of God and do it. Now, there’s a few things here. First, I don’t want you to see this response to Jesus as like, like him trying to discredit the nature of like one’s family or even like his own family. There’s so many passages in Scripture that speaks towards the importance of like one’s family. Family is there from like Genesis on forward. It’s a great building block of society. There’s passages, Old Testament and New Testament to speak how important one’s family, like their family, blood, family ought to be to them. So don’t see Jesus here saying that family is not important. It is. It’s something we should cherish and protect and invest in. However, second, do read this as Jesus is stressing the centrality of one’s spiritual Family, Right. So not discrediting one’s family, rather, Jesus is emphasizing how central one’s spiritual family ought to be, which is a spiritual family made up of all those who seek to follow God’s Word, which starts with following the call of Scripture to put one’s faith in Christ for forgiveness and salvation. Just like we’re talking more about the spiritual family as we live out in local church settings. But before we get there, third thing I just want to notice here is how important it is to hear and keep God’s word. So once again, back to our text last week. He who has the ear to hear, let him hear. Also in our text last week, the good soil are the hearts of those who hear the word of God, a text from last week says, and hold fast to it earlier in our text today, verse 18. Take care how you hear. And now, as we close this passage, my mother and brothers that make up the spiritual family are those who hear the word of God and do it, which is the hope that I have for all of us this morning to hear what God is saying to us through the metaphors. That is our passage as we end in the text. But before I close the sermon, I do want to just give us a couple thoughts on these metaphors of light and family. Just keep saying we’re together. Those who are in the light are family. Those are family because they are in the light. So first, by faith, just humbly receive the light. In Scripture, the light is a metaphor for God’s word. It’s a lamp to our feet, a light to our path. It’s a metaphor of what God is doing in the world, including our own hearts. But ultimately, the light is a metaphor that is about the Lord Jesus Christ, the very one who is the light of the world, the light of men, the true light is Jesus Christ, the one who shines in the darkness, and the darkness cannot overcome it. And Scripture is clear that all who received him, the Lord Jesus, the true light, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become the children of God, which further speaks to his spiritual family, those who are born, not of blood, nor the will of flesh, nor the will of man, but of God. This morning, for us, as we consider this passage, this parable, these metaphors, may we consider in ways that we hear what it says about Christ and humbly receive him as our light by calling upon Jesus to save us from our sins, to save us to Himself, by believing that indeed he did come for us and that he did die for us, only to rise again from the dead. Friends, when it comes to the Lord Jesus Christ, one day, when he returns to set up his kingdom, we’re all going to meet him because he’s coming to judge, justly, judge the living and the dead. And for those who reject Jesus as the light, friends, that day is going to be terrifying, because you’ll meet Jesus as the judge, and on that day, he will bring everything fully into light. All the sins that we’ve committed will be exposed, made manifest. Nothing will be kept in secret, and we’re gonna have to give an account. And without Jesus, his blood shed for us. There’s no forgiveness before the judgment seat, and that’s terrifying. But for those who humble themselves, who confess their sins to him by faith, trust in him who receive him as the light. On that day, when our Lord returns, it’s going to be a day of great rejoicing, because we will know that through him, through the blood that he shed for us, we know that before his judgment seat will be forgiven, for his righteousness is going to be counted as our righteousness. So this morning, by faith, receive the light. Receive him as your great treasure, trusting in his promise that on that judgment day, because of faith in him, you’ll be welcomed into his kingdom as his people, as his precious children. So receive the light, and receive it in ways that you spend all of your days, like walking in that light. And if you stumble and you fall, friends, don’t try to cover it back up. Rather, continue to bring your sins before the Lord to find forgiveness, find freedom, to find healing, which even this morning. Say it again. Bring whatever sin that you’re trying to hide, bring it to him who is the light. Second, before we close, boldly shine the light. No, we’re not the light. But as his people, we bear witness to the light, knowing that now that Christ has come, the light of God does not shine uniquely in the tabernacle or temple. But God has chosen to shine the light of Christ. How? Through us, through his people. By reflecting the light of Christ to the world around us. So, friends, don’t cover up the light of Christ that is in your heart. Don’t put it under a bed. Whether it’s because you’re, like, isolating yourselves from others or because you’re silent about Christ to others, rather, for the glory of Christ, set your life up on a stand to shine brightly for all to see that our lives may be like that old gospel song, this little light of mine, I’m gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine Everywhere I go I’m gonna let it shine Let it shine, let it shine, let it shine for us, that light we’re to shine to shine in places where God has already placed us, including the places where you work or your classrooms or the activities or hobbies that you’re in. Shining your light to your family, to those who you live next to in your neighborhood. By the way, if I continue on this end, as the weather warms up, just host some type of neighborhood party or some type of, like, summer social event and just invite those who God’s already placed in your life to it with hopes that through that event you can, like, shine your light through your words, your deeds, that those who see your life see you reflect the light, that they would give glory to God. In addition, for us as a church, VBS is not that far away. Invite people to come with the prayer that people ultimately would come to the light of Christ through VBS and by faith, join the church family. That’s actually the last thing I just want to mention here. Third, joyfully embrace your church or joyfully embrace your spiritual family. Now, I want to be clear. Yes, family is important. Scripture is so abundantly clear in that. But Scripture is also clear, including our text today, that the spiritual family of God is to be central for those who are in Christ Jesus. We’re not to live apart from others who believe in Jesus. Rather, we’re to live with them as family. The New Testament. See, this is particularly to be lived out in the church. This is where our joy may be complete. Now for us, call Red Village Church Home. Obviously, I hope you’re joyfully embracing this church family where you’re embracing in ways you’re seeking to connect with others, certainly others you’re already close with. But if you encourage us here, let’s also try to intentionally connect with others that maybe you don’t know as well who are part of your family. Again, as the weather warms up, it’s a great time, right, to connect with others. In addition, joyfully embrace the church family by using your gifts, by serving others. So I mentioned at the start, I was so encouraged yesterday, so encouraged again this morning, to see so many different people serving in so many different ways. Friends, serving is just really a great and important way. Not only way we worship God, but how we embrace our church family. If you’re looking for ways to serve, come find me. I’d love to talk to you more on this end. Furthermore, friends, if we’re going to joyfully embrace our church family, we need to love and continue to love one another, even during the times that we might not like each other. By the way, in my many years of church life, of the different things that we must continue to bring to light, it’s actually kind of at the top of the list because it’s so easy, like to do things in secret or harbor hard feelings in secret that can divide us as a family. So we’re going to joyfully embrace our spiritual family. We must love God and we must love each other. Lastly, we also just mentioned to joyfully embrace the church family. So for us, we do think imports involves like, membership. So if that’s something that you’re interested in, being like a member of our church family, in a couple weeks, J. Tuck’s actually be leading the class we call the Next steps. For those who are interested in becoming a member of Red Village. There’s a lot more I could say here. Actually would love to say more about the local church, but let me just remind us of one other metaphor that the Lord uses to describe the church. It’s his bride, the bride of Christ, the bride that Jesus died for and is washing clean. And for us, if we’re going to love what Jesus loves, Jesus loves his bride. Jesus loves his family. For us to love Jesus, we will also love his bride and love our spiritual family. So, yes, lots of parables, lots of metaphors, all throughout Scripture. They’re there for us to see and to hear and understand. And this morning, by faith, may we see and hear and understand that Jesus is the light. And may his light shine in us in every corner of our heart, so that through his light we might find freedom and healing and forgiveness. And may that light not only shine in us, but may that light also shine through us that we would indeed be lampstands for the cause of Christ to the world around us and church. May that light of Christ, may that shine through us together as family, we shine more brightly together than apart. And may we shine in ways that our joy may be complete. Let’s pray. Lord, thank you for your word. And Lord, I do pray that through your spirit, if there are sins that need to be brought to light, that we’ve been working tirelessly hard to try to keep covered up in secret, that today, by your grace, you give us humility to trust in you and to confess our sins, indeed we might find freedom and healing and forgiveness. And Lord, please forgive us when we hide the light in our own hearts. We keep them hidden where we’re ashamed or embarrassed or whatever it may be by you, Lord. I do pray also by the power of your spirit, that you would help us to set our lives on a lampstand, that we’d shine brightly for your cause, not only here in Madison, but all the way to the ends of the earth. Lord, thank you just for your wisdom to give us a family, a spiritual family, a church family. Lord, I do pray you help us to joyfully embrace our church family and help us to love each other well. Pray, Lord, that you would use us to shine brightly. It’s in Christ’s name we pray. Amen. The post A Lamp Under a Jar – Luke 8: 16-21 appeared first on Red Village Church.

In this episode, Alisa interviews Dr. Gennady Estraikh. His book titled, The History of Birobidzhan: Building a Soviet Jewish Homeland in Siberia (Bloomsbury Academic, 2023) was published as a part of the "Russian Shorts" series. Gennady Estraikh's book explores the birth, growth, demise and afterlife of the Birobidzhan Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR). The History of Birobidzhan looks at how the shtetl was widely used in Soviet propaganda as a perfect solution to the 'Jewish question', arguing that in reality, while being demographically and culturally insignificant, the JAR played a key, and essentially detrimental, role in determining Jewish rights and entitlements in the Soviet world. Estraikh brings together a broad range of Russian and Yiddish sources, including archival materials, newspaper articles, travelogues, memoirs, belles-letters, and scholarly publications, as he describes and analyses the project and its realization not in isolation, but rather in the context of developments in both domestic and international life. As well as offering an assessment of the Birobidzhan project in the contexts of Soviet and Jewish history, the book also focuses on the contemporary 'Jewish' role of the region which now has only a few thousand Jewish occupants amongst its residents.

In Pastor Joey McLaughlin's sermon “Break the Jar,” part of the Half-Hearted series, he challenges believers to confront the reality of spiritual heart disease—the true reason many people drift from faith. Drawing from Luke 7 and the story of the sinful woman with the alabaster jar, Pastor Joey contrasts empty religious routine with authentic, wholehearted devotion. While the Pharisee represents outward religion without intimacy, the woman models radical love by pouring out her most valuable possession at Jesus' feet. The message emphasizes that Jesus is after our hearts above all else, and real transformation happens when we recognize the depth of our forgiveness and respond with complete surrender. “Breaking the jar” becomes a powerful metaphor for laying down everything—our pride, possessions, and reputation—to pursue a deep, passionate relationship with Jesus. This sermon calls Christians to move beyond half-hearted faith into bold, extravagant worship and total devotion to Christ.

Pastor Matt Sturdevant began a new sermon series on the book of Acts, examining Acts 1:1-11 and establishing that Jesus continues his mission through the Holy Spirit-empowered church. He made five key points from this passage: Jesus's work is both finished (redemption) and unfinished (mission), we need the Holy Spirit rather than just more human effort, believers must stay focused on the mission instead of getting distracted, the mission is clear according to Acts 1:8, and Jesus's ascension means the mission continues through his disciples. The central verse, Acts 1:8, reveals that power comes from the Holy Spirit, the purpose is to be witnesses (not experts), and the plan extends from local to global - Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and to the ends of the earth. Matt also presented two helpful charts during the sermon: the "JAR" chart showing how John, Acts, and Romans fit together in answering key questions, and a structure chart breaking Acts into three sections with Peter (chapters 1-7), Philip (chapters 8-12), and Paul (chapters 13-28) as central figures. He concluded with three applications: we cannot experience God's power without surrendering to Jesus, Jesus's mission is now our mission as disciples, and we cannot live the Christian life in our own strength but need the Holy Spirit as our helper and guide. The passage ends with Jesus's ascension and angels redirecting the disciples from gazing into heaven to getting moving on their mission.

Pastor Matt began a comprehensive 16-week journey through the Book of Acts, which is part of a larger "Bible in a Jar" series covering John, Acts, and Romans. He explained that while John shows us who to trust, Acts reveals how to live out our faith, demonstrating that Jesus' mission didn't end with His ascension but continues through His Holy Spirit-empowered church. Focusing on Acts 1:1-11, Pastor Matt highlighted a crucial distinction: Jesus' work is both finished and unfinished. The work of redemption is complete—as Jesus declared "It is finished" (John 19:30)—but the work of ministry and proclamation continues. The disciples were instructed to wait in Jerusalem for the promised Holy Spirit because "God's work cannot be accomplished with human strength alone." The key verse, Acts 1:8, provides both the summary and outline for the entire book, showing how the gospel would spread geographically from Jerusalem to Judea and Samaria, and ultimately to the ends of the earth. Pastor Matt connected this historical foundation to Hope Church's Vision 2028, emphasizing that understanding the early church's methods and dependence on the Holy Spirit is essential preparation for their future ministry expansion.

The wizards reap the rewards of having survived their last trial, but the circumstances of their respective wins are cause for both celebration and consternation.
