Some people wonder why we only have the Bible as the authoritative Word of God. Did God stop speaking after the book of Revelation? While the Early Church did close the Canon of Scripture in the early ADs, they would be the first to affirm that God still speaks to every believer by His Holy Spirit in them. And if God still speaks, and speaks to you and me, then what? Good question. Let's hear the message for help. When we think of a river, we do not envision something that stays in one place. In fact, a river does not stand still - a river flows! In Ezekiel 47, God gives the prophet a vision of what happens when the river of forgiveness, healing, and hope flows out of the church. The Valley Church will be a river church. We will be on a mission. We will be a church in and for the community. This series will serve as the catalyst for how The Valley Church will punch holes in the darkness throughout our region. Join us for service every Sunday at 9:15am or 11:00am (EST).

We well guest speaker, Pastor Jeff Stark to NapNaz this morning. He teaches on what it looks like to share the good news of the gospel, using the story from John 4 about the woman at the well. We are challenged to pray about where our "Samaria" is and how we can proclaim the good news to those around us.
What's love got to do with it? A whole lot, actually. Love is the first characteristic in this list about the fruit of the Spirit. It's first because it's the number one characteristic of God Himself. But it's not the kind of love you may be thinking. Check out this message to see what we mean! What do you want? Deep down, beyond the surface stuff. A little more peace in your home? A little more joy in your life? A little more gentleness or kindness? How about self-control to stop doing what you know is self-destructive? What do you really want? What you really want and what God wants for you might be closer than you realize.

Welcome to episode eighty-nine of New Creation Conversations. My conversation today is with a friend and colleague in Nazarene higher education, Dr. Jeff Stark. Jeff teaches Missional Theology at Olivet Nazarene University and is the Director of both Graduate Programming and the Center of Theological Leadership at the university. Jeff's scholarship and teaching largely focuses on the intersection of Church and culture. He also teaches courses that address the substantive theological concerns regarding racial reconciliation, peacemaking, biblical-justice, and evangelism in the 21st century. Jeff will share some of his amazing testimony meeting Christ while serving in the Army as an Arabic linguist. Jeff served as a pastor in Tennessee and Illinois before joining the faculty at Olivet. Our conversation centers around his recently released book, The News is Good: Evangelism as a Way of Life(published by The Foundry Press). In the book, Jeff invites readers into the everyday world of an evangelistic Christian life in order to show that making disciples isn't a formulaic, multi-step program. Instead, true and effective evangelism is an honest way of doing life alongside those with whom we already find ourselves in community. It is a very helpful, insightful, and accessible book and a rich conversation.
In today's episode, we give you an update on the state of the market and our takeaways on the commercial real estate mastermind we have just been to. Being surrounded by a community of people with the same passion is a great way to reset and get back to a healthy baseline, network with people and build new friendships with which you could do business. That's why we encourage you to become part of a mastermind group that you can learn from and that will hold you accountable to go farther in your business or investment.Our conversation also zeroes in on the state of the real estate market. We have witnessed how the market has changed drastically over the last six months. Interest rates continue to rise and the banks are becoming stricter and picky about the deals they want to finance. However, it is still a good time to invest. We'll explain that further in this episode and also talk about different investing strategies on how to take advantage of the current market, so be sure to join us!Key Points from This Episode:Most investors stay on the sidelines because of high interest rates and uncertainties in the real estate market. However, the right time to invest is now.How can investors strategize and take advantage of the market?The importance and benefits of joining masterminds and participating in a community.Claude's insights on the state of the market for real estate and other businesses.What's the possibility of getting higher returns because of the changes taking place in the marketplace?Claude's vision on what will continue to happen in the market for the next six months.What to prepare for and expect for investors with bridge loans.What opportunities are available for people with money who want to grow it differently?Tweetables:“It's not just buying deals, deals and deals; it's actually studying the market.” —Claude Condo [00:03:45]“You've got to get around other people and expose yourself to ideas that are coming from other people's brains. That is where the magic happens. That is where you learn and that is where you grow.” —Jeff Stark [00:09:47]“It's always about seasons. There's a season to sow, there's a season to reap. So, I think this is the season to sow and work strategies.” —Claude Condo [00:11:41]“There's the possibility for getting higher returns because of the change in the marketplace.

Dr. Jeff Stark discusses his upcoming book on evangelism, entitled, The News is Good. It is availble for pre-order now on Amazon.com. Jeff is the Director of Graduate Programming, Associate Professor, Missional Theologian, Convergence of Religion and Culture, Speaker, Strategist, and Leadership Coach. He is a developer, a teacher, encourager, coach, and mentor. I am at my best when I am helping people realize their dreams, organizations realize their vision, and communities realize a better vision for the future. He describes himself as "tenaciously hopefu"l, and believes he tends to look for the immediate opportunities as opposed to the looming threats. While an optimist he cautions that he is also a realist who isn't afraid to face the challenges. However, he believes that when we together marshal the latent potential of every member of an organization, cultivate an environment of creativity, and empower each person to (in Whitman's words) contribute their unique verse, the opportunities for a better future are limitless.He says "Often people need to be stretched to think in new ways, see the world from different perspectives, have underlying assumptions about themselves, others, and the world they live in challenged, and collaborate with like-minded women and men who can fuel a passion for change. This is what I do. As a consummate listener, constant learner, and courageous leader, I love to walk alongside of people, groups, organizations, and communities to dream and strategize for a better future."
The truth is there are more than 100 types of arthritis, but not all of them receive the public recognition they deserve, especially non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (non-rad AxSpA). In the first of a two-part episode, The Health Advocates are joined by rheumatologist and Head of Immunology Medical at UCB, Dr. Jeff Stark, and patient advocate Ricky White who lives with non-rad AxSpA. Dr. Stark and Ricky discuss the challenges in diagnosis, the advancements in treatment, and the research and advocacy being done to improve the patient journey. "There are barriers for patients around diagnosis and certainly we want for patients with non-radiographic AxSpA to have appropriate treatments,” says Dr. Stark about the challenges patients face, “but there is so much more that can positively impact the journey that patients with this condition undergo." Among the highlights in this episode: 2:05: “There are over 100 types of arthritis and… part of being a patient advocate and a health advocate is letting people know about this information so that number one: people who are undiagnosed may hear about it and recognize symptoms, and number two: to provide a sense of community for those living with the condition as they hear from us and from others,” says Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at GHLF 2:59: Dr. Stark describes what non-radiographic axial spondyloarthritis (non-rad AxSpA) is and what makes it a particularly challenging disease 4:32: There is a misconception that non-rad AxSpA is a milder form of arthritis but for many patients that's just not the case, according to Dr. Stark 5:05: “There's clearly a lot of room for improvement in the journey to diagnosis with non-rad AxSpA,” says Steven Newmark 5:26: Dr. Stark explains how a new diagnostic code was created so that physicians and health care providers in the U.S. can now record a specific diagnosis of non-rad AxSpA in medical records, thus facilitating the journey to diagnosis 8:33: The importance of clinical research regarding non-rad AxSpA explained 11:04: Ricky, who got diagnosed with ankylosing spondylitis in 2010, would now fall under the category of non-rad AxSpA should he be re-diagnosed today -- but that category did not exist in 2010 12:09: Ricky explains his road to diagnosis 14:12: Dr. Stark asks Ricky to describe his journey to finding the right doctor for him and what he looks for in a rheumatologist 17:29: The importance of community in Ricky's journey with non-rad AxSpA and where patients can find support 18:45: Ricky explains how he became an advocate and how he uses his own experience and the knowledge he has accumulated about his condition to help other patients 20:14: Ricky's tips from his own experience of living with his condition 22:27: What our hosts learned from this episode Contact Our Hosts Steven Newmark, Director of Policy at GHLF: snewmark@ghlf.org Zoe Rothblatt, Associate Director, Community Outreach at GHLF: zrothblatt@ghlf.org We want to hear what you think.

This week: Duncan, Richard and Amanda talk Nonsense with Jeff Stark! What is Nonsense NYC? Nonsense NYC is a discriminating resource for independent art, weird events, strange happenings, unique parties, and senseless culture in New York City.What does that mean? We send out an email every Friday about unique events occurring the following week. What kind of stuff? Street events, loft parties, puppet shows, bike rallys, costume balls, interactive art shows, movies in unusual places, parades, outlaw dancing, guerilla theater, burlesque and variety shows, loser open mikes, cirkuses, and absurdist pranks. Nonsense covers the stuff that has no name, or a name that you feel really awkward and self-conscious saying out loud, like "underground."Sounds great, how do I sign up?Click here.Um, I'd rather not give you my email address. Can I just read it online? No. The only place you can read Nonsense NYC is your inbox. We like the intimacy of email, thank you, and this Web stuff is too much work. We promise not to sell your email address or give it away. We're not going to spam you with useless information either.OK, I've signed up, and I want to know more about Nonsense. Will you print my event? We'd love to hear about all of your events. The important thing to remember is that Nonsense NYC happens because of you. That means we rely on you to let us know what events you're organizing and what events you're attending. Please keep us up to date and don't assume that we'll find out about it from someone else. Our job is to gather, edit, organize, and filter; your job is to make interesting things happen and let us know about them. Remember to include all the important information, like the address and stuff, and a brief description. When you put it all together, send it to jstark@nonsensenyc.com. Please send a text-only email; flash graphics, links to online fliers, and facebook announcements make our life more difficult. You can find a guide to better email communication here.Also, Nonsense does not list events that cost more than $25 at the door, without door code, RSVPs, or special arrangement. We make some exceptions for obvious extra expenses, like boat rentals. To those of you promoting events: We're sorry. We know it's hard. We know it's risky. We know it's expensive. But nonsense has always skewed toward cheaper events; our readers expect it. But one time I sent you something about my band/my movie/my party/my opening and you didn't print it. What gives? How do you decide what events will be on Nonsense NYC? To start with, almost all the stuff we list is independent. Also, we like rock bands and experimental musicians and arty films and galleries and museums and big street festivals, but we can find information about all of those things in other places. We generally will not list them. We use something called the rule of three. That means that we will generally list your event if there are three different things going on: DJs, bands, dancers, costumes, fire performance, theater, film, art, projections, fashion, an unusual space, or several other intangibles. Your event doesn't have to include all of these in order to be listed, and it certainly doesn't need all this at once. If you're in doubt, send it to us anyway -- we're decent editors.The list is huge sometimes. Where do you find all this stuff? Do you write all of it yourself? We don't really write so much as edit announcements from other people. The bulk of each weekly list is culled from other lists and Web calendars. We monitor a couple dozen of them. You can find a partial listing on the Links page.So, do you go to all of the events that you list on Nonsense? Not even. We can't afford it. We go out a couple of times a week, and we generally write a small editorial note if we have an opinion to share. You can find those comments in each post. They're all marked like this: NOTE.How can I tell the good events from the bad ones? Will I have fun at all the events? No, you won't always have fun. And please don't assume that merely listing this stuff is some sort of implicit endorsement. A lot of these events are strictly amateur hour. We love amateur hour. But the problem with some amateurs is that they're just amateurs. It's hard to distinguish the good stuff from the bad. Some of it, no doubt, will make you wish you'd sat on the couch eating microwave nachos. If you want a safe bet, go to the movies. That said, if you start going to a lot of the events listed here you'll start to recognize some of the names of performers, promoters, venues, and so forth. Let us know if you have a great time at an event. Hell, let us know if you feel like you got scammed out of $5. Send us a sentence or two about the events you've attended -- especially if you went to something that is ongoing -- and we'll run them in the future. You don't have to be a professional writer or do anything fancy. Just tell us what you would tell your friends over a late breakfast. Your fellow subscribers will appreciate it.Why does the new Nonsense come out so late? Can't you get it out earlier? No, we can't. It takes a long time to put this thing together. We have real jobs, and real lives. Both prohibit us from compiling the list earlier in the week. We try to run events for the following Thursday so you can have a heads up, but a lot of the people who do the kind of events that we list don't always have their shit together. We print stuff that's happening on the day we post because sometime the show will happen a few more times throughout the weekend. Sometimes there will be a contact listed and you can use it to reach people and make sure that you don't miss their events in the future. If you check your email before you go out you'll still have time to make a snap decision.What's with the "we?" We don't know. We got used to writing like this several years ago and we kind of like it. It has a lot of antecedents, including the unsigned Talk of the Town section in the old New Yorker. We'd like to think that it alludes to that sort of liveliness and sparkling wit. You may disagree. We will cherish our delusions. Conceptually, we thought that Nonsense NYC would be sort of a group effort, with its subscribers kicking down a lot of the weekly copy. It didn't really turn out that way, but we still like to hold on to the thought that Nonsense is put together by its community. In a way, it is: It would be a mighty boring list if there were no events to compile, and the people who make these events happen are the kind of people who receive it.So who exactly is "we," and why are you doing this? Nonsense NYC is compiled by Jeff Stark. Alita Edgar graciously puts together the Wishlist section. Jennifer Liepin edits the Help section. Juliana Driever is responsible for the Learning section. J. Sinopli is the person behind Spectre Priority. Neille Ilel did all the Web stuff.Why are you doing this? We believe that there is more to life in New York than getting drunk at slick new bars. We were frustrated when we moved here and couldn't find a reliable source of alternatives, even though we knew that there were creative people making cool shit happen. Almost more annoying was the fact that certain groups we knew about weren't always aware of one another. Our solution was to start a weekly list. We did this in September 2000. Our goals are to help make New York a more interesting place to live, to encourage others to do the same, and to have more fun than just about anyone else. We're particularly drawn to participatory culture, amateurism, and urban folk art. To us, that means that things are more rewarding when you invest yourself in them, and that you are responsible for entertaining yourself and your friends. We admire the handmade, the recycled. And we're generally suspicious of commercial entertainment. That doesn't mean we reflexively hate television or going to the movies. It's just that we genuinely believe that everyone has something to contribute, and that life is much richer when people stop treating each other like walking wallets.Wow, this all sounds so lofty. Are these your ideas? Not even. We're stealing ideas from a half dozen places and using the bits that suit us. In particular, we are indebted to Fluxus games, the Cacophony Society, the Suicide Club, the Situationists, American punk rock in the 1980s, the Do-It-Yourself ethic of the early 1990s, the Madagascar Institute, Dark Passage, and the yearly Burning Man festival in Nevada. We do think that we are witnessing a special synthesis of these ideas in New York right now -- this very minute -- and that in a few years we will recognize it as a golden age.OK. So how do you make money off of this? That's not really the point. However Nonsense now accepts donations. The newsletter remains free, but there are real costs that we absorb in its creation. We would love for you to donate money to help offset webhosting, software, and computer expenses. The labor remains free. We aren't asking for much; a yearly subscription would be a tremendous help. Please consider $5 for the year if you use the list to figure out what to do on a Saturday night, or if you just like to keep track of what's going on in New York. Go ahead and donate $20 if you promote events that we list on Nonsense. You know it's worth it. And we would be grateful for more money if you really like what we do. To be clear, these are donations: You are not paying for a service, but rather confirming that what we do is valuable and agreeing that independent artists should support other independent artists. If you've ever paid for a ticket to see your friend's band you know exactly what we mean.But I want to complain about something. Who can I yell at? You're getting this ostensibly for free; you're not allowed to complain. If you have to yell at someone, try a taxi driver: They're used to it.I'm not getting the list. What's up? We don't know. First, you should check your spam folder. Several of the major email providers sometimes think Nonsense is spam; first Yahoo and Hotmail, and eventually AOL and even Gmail blocked some newsletters. We use Dada Mail and Tiger Tech and are always trying to fix this problem. If you don't find Nonsense in your spam folder there are a couple of things that you can do. You can approve messages from us or put us in your address book or on your whitelist. You can sign up with another email account. And if that doesn't work you can use your password to access our archives online. This should be pretty obvious, but please do not flag our messages as spam for any reason. If you want to unsubscribe, please take a minute and follow the link at the bottom of every list or send us an email. Finally, it helps our case if you send an email to your provider to complain that Nonsense is being marked as spam or held. I forgot what I was going to say, but I'll probably remember my question later.email us anytime.
In September 2010, Gallery Crawl previewed works at the 2010 01SJ Biennial. Artists created interactive installations for the Biennial, aiming to make the world a better place with sustainable art practices. Gallery Crawl captured several works in the final stages of production, such as Empire Drive-In by Brooklyn-based artists Jeff Stark and Todd Chandler and xAirport, an environmentally-based project by local artist Natalie Jeremijenko.
