Podcast appearances and mentions of Jeremy Stewart

I had the incredible opportunity to bring together some of the brightest minds in the creator economy for an evening of candid conversation about where this industry is headed. From ad tech innovations to creator authenticity, we covered the full spectrum of what it takes to turn creator content into scalable, revenue-generating partnerships. Conor McKenna from Luma and Zoe Soon from the IAB kicked things off with a macro view of the space, discussing how fragmented media is creating massive opportunities for technology to step in. We explored why brands are shifting budgets at unprecedented rates, with Unilever committing 50% of marketing spend to creator-related initiatives.The evening featured deep dives into brand integration strategies with Ali Parish from Blue Hour Studios and Jeremy Stewart from VuePlanner, followed by an eye-opening discussion with Arthur Leopolod from Agentio about how AI and automation are revolutionizing creator advertising. Perhaps most compelling was hearing directly from Sydney Jo, the creator behind the viral Group Chat series, and her manager Haley Friedman from Made By All about the reality of building a creator business. From navigating brand negotiations to maintaining creative authenticity, this conversation revealed both the opportunities and challenges facing the next generation of digital storytellers._______________________________________________Key Highlights

Colossians 3:12-17 12 Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience. 13 Bear with each other and forgive one another if any of you has a grievance against someone. Forgive as the Lord forgave you. 14 And over all these virtues put on love, which binds them all together in perfect unity. 15 Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. 16 Let the message of Christ dwell among you richly as you teach and admonish one another with all wisdom through psalms, hymns, and songs from the Spirit, singing to God with gratitude in your hearts. 17 And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him. LESSON NOTES There is a connection between PURPOSE and PREPARATION. When you have a great purpose in mind, it gives you the drive and direction to prepare for it. And in turn, the preparation ensures that when the moment arrives, you're ready to live out your purpose. How our students are preparing for their Croatia mission trip:  Essay questions Gathering 5 prayer supporters Interviewing with trip leadership Studying and presenting on an aspect of Croatian culture Complete a guided Bible study Participate in a team fast Gather for training at a weekend retreat Contribute to and sign a team covenant Memorize Colossians 3:12-17 The way you live your life tells people what really matters. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What's something you've spent a lot of time preparing for? How did the preparation impact your life? What similarities are there between how a highwire walker lives and how a Christian should live? Consider the list of ways our students are preparing for their trip this summer. Do you practice any similar types of "preparation" for your Christian walk? What practices do you feel would be beneficial? What traits in Colossians 3:12-17 do you see modeled well? What traits there would you like us to grow in? What does Colossians 3:13 look like practically?

Mark 5:1-20 1 They went across the lake to the region of the Gerasenes. 2 When Jesus got out of the boat, a man with an impure spirit came from the tombs to meet him. 3 This man lived in the tombs, and no one could bind him anymore, not even with a chain. 4 For he had often been chained hand and foot, but he tore the chains apart and broke the irons on his feet. No one was strong enough to subdue him. 5 Night and day among the tombs and in the hills he would cry out and cut himself with stones. 6 When he saw Jesus from a distance, he ran and fell on his knees in front of him. 7 He shouted at the top of his voice, “What do you want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God? In God's name don't torture me!” 8 For Jesus had said to him, “Come out of this man, you impure spirit!” 9 Then Jesus asked him, “What is your name?” “My name is Legion,” he replied, “for we are many.” 10 And he begged Jesus again and again not to send them out of the area. 11 A large herd of pigs was feeding on the nearby hillside. 12 The demons begged Jesus, “Send us among the pigs; allow us to go into them.” 13 He gave them permission, and the impure spirits came out and went into the pigs. The herd, about two thousand in number, rushed down the steep bank into the lake and were drowned. 14 Those tending the pigs ran off and reported this in the town and countryside, and the people went out to see what had happened. 15 When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed and in his right mind; and they were afraid. 16 Those who had seen it told the people what had happened to the demon-possessed man—and told about the pigs as well. 17 Then the people began to plead with Jesus to leave their region. 18 As Jesus was getting into the boat, the man who had been demon-possessed begged to go with him. 19 Jesus did not let him, but said, “Go home to your own people and tell them how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.” 20 So the man went away and began to tell in the Decapolis how much Jesus had done for him. And all the people were amazed. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What questions do you have about the account of the demons and the pigs? Why do you think Jesus says "yes" to both the demons and the people? What do you think the man would have felt when Jesus told him "no"? Jeremy mentioned 3 perspectives on Jesus - Jesus as Enemy, as Disruption, and as Lord. Where do you see these present today? Do you ever find yourself drawn to those different perspectives? What makes it hard to say "yes" to Jesus' "no"? What are some reasons Jesus might say "no" to something we think is a good request?

Mark 3:13-35 13 Jesus went up on a mountainside and called to him those he wanted, and they came to him. 14 He appointed twelve[a] that they might be with him and that he might send them out to preach 15 and to have authority to drive out demons. 16 These are the twelve he appointed: Simon (to whom he gave the name Peter), 17 James son of Zebedee and his brother John (to them he gave the name Boanerges, which means “sons of thunder”), 18 Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Zealot 19 and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. 20 Then Jesus entered a house, and again a crowd gathered, so that he and his disciples were not even able to eat. 21 When his family heard about this, they went to take charge of him, for they said, “He is out of his mind.” 22 And the teachers of the law who came down from Jerusalem said, “He is possessed by Beelzebul! By the prince of demons he is driving out demons.” 23 So Jesus called them over to him and began to speak to them in parables: “How can Satan drive out Satan? 24 If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. 25 If a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. 26 And if Satan opposes himself and is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come. 27 In fact, no one can enter a strong man's house without first tying him up. Then he can plunder the strong man's house. 28 Truly I tell you, people can be forgiven all their sins and every slander they utter, 29 but whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” 30 He said this because they were saying, “He has an impure spirit.” 31 Then Jesus' mother and brothers arrived. Standing outside, they sent someone in to call him. 32 A crowd was sitting around him, and they told him, “Your mother and brothers are outside looking for you.” 33 “Who are my mother and my brothers?” he asked. 34 Then he looked at those seated in a circle around him and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! 35 Whoever does God's will is my brother and sister and mother.” Lesson Notes Outline of Mark 3:13-35 13-19 - Jesus appoints the 12 20-21 - Jesus' family notified 22-30 - Conflict with teachers of the law 31-35 - Jesus' family arrives The teachers of the law have a new strategy to deal with Jesus. They don't question his actions. Instead they accuse him of being on the wrong team. The key question of this text is "what team is Jesus on?" NT Wright on the "unforgiveable sin" of 28-29: “Once you label what is in fact the work of the Holy Spirit as the work of the devil, there's no way back […] It isn't that God gets specially angry with one sin in particular. It's rather that if you decide firmly that the doctor who is offering to perform a life-saving operation on you is in fact a sadistic murderer, you will never give your consent to the operation.” Family was the key to identity in the first century. Jesus' refusal to acknowledge his family indicate that he has a "new team". Mark highlights moments of this narrative to demonstrate how Jesus identifies his allegiance not to the demons (as the teachers of the law accuse him of) nor his family, as society expects, but instead is creating something new to belong to. - He begins (13-19) and ends (33-35) this section by showing who his new team is. Ephesians 6:12 - Paul writes in a time of great Christian persecution that our enemies are not "flesh and blood" but rather spiritual force. People are not our enemy. Jesus invites us to a new team - one that doesn't see people as enemies, but rather people who just haven't joined up yet. - We are invited to see people how Jesus sees them, rather than boiling them down to a political idea or unlikable label. - We can love those we would never otherwise love because Jesus has given us his undeserved love first.

Mark 2:1-12 1 A few days later, when Jesus again entered Capernaum, the people heard that he had come home. 2 They gathered in such large numbers that there was no room left, not even outside the door, and he preached the word to them. 3 Some men came, bringing to him a paralyzed man, carried by four of them. 4 Since they could not get him to Jesus because of the crowd, they made an opening in the roof above Jesus by digging through it and then lowered the mat the man was lying on. 5 When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” 6 Now some teachers of the law were sitting there, thinking to themselves, 7 “Why does this fellow talk like that? He's blaspheming! Who can forgive sins but God alone?” 8 Immediately Jesus knew in his spirit that this was what they were thinking in their hearts, and he said to them, “Why are you thinking these things? 9 Which is easier: to say to this paralyzed man, ‘Your sins are forgiven,' or to say, ‘Get up, take your mat and walk'? 10 But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the man, 11 “I tell you, get up, take your mat and go home.” 12 He got up, took his mat and walked out in full view of them all. This amazed everyone and they praised God, saying, “We have never seen anything like this!” Lesson Notes When you mistake someone's identity, more mistakes follow. You make wrong assumptions. You say the wrong thing. You come to wrong conclusions. Mark chapter 2 marks the beginning of a series of 5 conflicts Mark 2:1-12 Mark 2:13-17 Mark 2:18-22 Mark 2:23-27 Mark 3:1-6 In each, Jesus does something unexpected, the teachers of the law challenge him, and Jesus responds in a way that silences them. The conclusion of these conflicts (3:6) shows us the first signs pointing to Jesus' death. Roofing Homes generally had roof access. Roofs were constructed by a few support timbers with smaller sticks and beams laid crosswise, then smaller twigs and thistles, and finally a layer of packed dirt on top. The Question Jesus' question in verse 9 has two possible answers: It is easier to say your sins are forgiven, because there is no immediate, outward evidence. Ultimately, both are impossible for man. If Jesus has the authority to heal with a word, he has the authority to forgive sins in the same way. Four Different Kinds of Allegiance: 1 Authentic allegiance - the leper in Mark 1:40 2 Affordable allegiance - the rich young man in Mark 10:17 3 Apathetic allegiance - the soldiers in Mark 15:19 4 A la carte allegiance - the teachers of the law in Mark 2:1-12 When we settle for a God who does not deserve our everything, we are settling for a "god" who cannot give us what we need. Discussion Questions 1. Ice Breaker: Discuss your thoughts on the Joshua Bell experiment (with the violinist). Then share some examples of mistaken identity. 2. In what ways would Jesus' actions in this passage have been surprising or shocking to his audience? 3. What do you think of the logic the teachers of the law use, and the conclusion they come to? Is the flaw with their theology, or with something else? 4. What do you think of Jesus' response in verse 9? What is he trying to communicate to the teachers of the law or the crowd? 5. The teachers of the law come to the wrong conclusion about Jesus' identity. What are some wrong ideas about who Jesus is that float around today? 6. Jeremy presented a fourth type of allegiance: "a la carte allegiance", where someone picks and chooses which parts of Jesus they want and discards the rest. What might that look like today? 7. Jeremy said "when we settle for a God who does not deserve our everything, we are settling for a 'god' who cannot give us what we need." In what ways is that true?

Psalm 34:1-9 1 I will bless the Lord at all times;     his praise shall continually be in my mouth. 2 My soul makes its boast in the Lord;     let the humble hear and be glad. 3 Oh, magnify the Lord with me,     and let us exalt his name together! 4 I sought the Lord, and he answered me     and delivered me from all my fears. 5 Those who look to him are radiant,     and their faces shall never be ashamed. 6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him     and saved him out of all his troubles. 7 The angel of the Lord encamps     around those who fear him, and delivers them. 8 Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good!     Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him! 9 Oh, fear the Lord, you his saints,     for those who fear him have no lack! From the Sermon There are 2 types of "Magnified" To zoom in To make great Psalm 34 invites us to do both - zoom in and see who God is, and worship him because of what you've seen and experienced. Psalm 34 is written due to a real moment: 1 Samuel 21:10-15 How to Magnify God that you might Magnify God - Psalm 34:4-9 SEEK LOOK CRY OUT TASTE FEAR Psalm 8:1-4 Here we see how God's greatness causes the David to question God's interest in humanity. This makes Psalm 34:15 and 18 all the more impactful. God is both: Incredibly powerful and above us Cares so deeply about each of us that he walks alongside us in our pain Discussion Questions Icebreaker: What are some times you've "zoomed in" on something, or what is some media that you remember that explored the idea of there being beauty and complexity around us that's out of sight because we can't see it? Why do you think David's experiences in 1 Samuel 21:10-15 cause him to write this psalm? Jeremy pointed out 5 "action words" in Psalm 34:4-9: SEEK, LOOK, CRY OUT, TASTE, and FEAR. What does it look like to practice these in terms of our relationship with God? We saw a video that attempted to give us some sense of the universe's scale. What is your response or feeling to recognizing how large creation is compared to us? In Psalm 8, David wrestles with the idea that a God who is so great could care about us. Do you ever feel that way? Psalm 34:15 and 18 tell us that, even as great as he is, God draws near to us in our pain and suffering. What is significant about that?

Mark 11:1-11 As they approached Jerusalem and came to Bethphage and Bethany at the Mount of Olives, Jesus sent two of his disciples, 2 saying to them, “Go to the village ahead of you, and just as you enter it, you will find a colt tied there, which no one has ever ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 3 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you doing this?' say, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here shortly.'” 4 They went and found a colt outside in the street, tied at a doorway. As they untied it, 5 some people standing there asked, “What are you doing, untying that colt?” 6 They answered as Jesus had told them to, and the people let them go. 7 When they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks over it, he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, while others spread branches they had cut in the fields. 9 Those who went ahead and those who followed shouted, “Hosanna!” “Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord!” 10 “Blessed is the coming kingdom of our father David!” “Hosanna in the highest heaven!” 11 Jesus entered Jerusalem and went into the temple courts. He looked around at everything, but since it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the Twelve. FROM THE SERMON Cherubim - creatures with human heads, animal bodies, and often wings. They were guardians, standing outside of temples and other sacred spaces to serve as a warning. The Garden Genesis 3:22 - Humanity in its sinfulness is no threat to God, but a threat to itself and creation. Genesis 3:24 - The Cherubim guard the entrance to Eden for our own protection. From the book: The Garden, the Curtain, and the Cross "It is wonderful to live with Him, but because of your sin you can't come in." The Curtain The account of building Solomon's Temple - 1 Kings 6, 2 Chronicles 3 Garden Iconography in the Temple: Carved with trees, flowers, and fruit (1 Kings 6:18, 29) Golden lampstand (Menorah) represents a tree (Exodus 25) The CURTAIN is covered in Cherubim Palm Sunday Mark 11:11 - Jesus visits the temple, remembers the garden, and sees the curtain. Discussion Questions Share a time when you or someone you know failed to heed a warning (funny or serious). What does the garden narrative in scripture (Genesis 2 and 3) tell us about God's design and intentions for humanity? How does the temple (or the tabernacle before it) point back to Eden? (Some examples were shared during the sermon, but there are more ways that weren't discussed as well!) Why would God have instructed the creation of the tabernacle and temple in a way that would reference and remind people of the Garden of Eden? How do you think Jewish people felt when they saw the curtain covered with Cherubim blocking the way to the Most Holy Place? When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, the beginning of the week of his death, he went into the temple and looked around (Mark 11:11). What thoughts do you think went through his mind, knowing that his death was soon approaching? One way we worship God is by loving and caring for those who bear His image. What are some ways you could join others or your family in doing that this week to prepare to celebrate the resurrection on Easter?

ACTS 16:25-34 25 About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the prisoners were listening to them, 26 and suddenly there was a great earthquake, so that the foundations of the prison were shaken. And immediately all the doors were opened, and everyone's bonds were unfastened. 27 When the jailer woke and saw that the prison doors were open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, supposing that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul cried with a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself, for we are all here.” 29 And the jailer called for lights and rushed in, and trembling with fear he fell down before Paul and Silas. 30 Then he brought them out and said, “Sirs, what must I do to be saved?” 31 And they said, “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved, you and your household.” 32 And they spoke the word of the Lord to him and to all who were in his house. 33 And he took them the same hour of the night and washed their wounds; and he was baptized at once, he and all his family. 34 Then he brought them up into his house and set food before them. And he rejoiced along with his entire household that he had believed in God. FROM THE LESSON Rome demanded allegiance. Matthew 22:15-22 Matthew 5:41 Philippi was a proud Roman colony. The Philippian jailer had a deep allegiance to Rome. 3 FACETS OF FAITH Belief - intellectual agreement Confession - Belief acknowledges Jesus is THE king, Confession says “Jesus is MY king.” Allegiance - a shift in loyalty that is lived out The way for early Christians to clear their name and regain their status in Roman culture was to proclaim “Caesar is Lord” rather than Jesus. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Jeremy shared the story of Benedict Arnold. How do you feel about someone who betrays their allegiance? Roman allegiance was a powerful force in its time. Do we have any parallels today? We looked at 3 facets of faith: Belief, Confession, and Allegiance. What other facets of faith do you see present in scripture? What are some other things we might give our ultimate allegiance to rather than Jesus? (examples: ourselves, job, someone we're in love with, family, etc.) What does it look like for you to live out a pledged allegiance to Jesus as your king? What shifts would you like to make?  

REVELATION 17:1-6 17 One of the seven angels who had the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits by many waters. 2 With her the kings of the earth committed adultery, and the inhabitants of the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her adulteries.” 3 Then the angel carried me away in the Spirit into a wilderness. There I saw a woman sitting on a scarlet beast that was covered with blasphemous names and had seven heads and ten horns. 4 The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. 5 The name written on her forehead was a mystery: BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH 6 I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of God's holy people, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some examples of "drinking the kool aid" in our culture? Why do you think people can be so strongly influenced by the culture around them? The image of Babylon John sees is very striking. Why do you think he is shown Babylon in this way? Jeremy mentioned 4 values of Babylon - Pride, Power, Pleasure, and Progress. Where do you see these values in our culture today? In Revelation 18, God's people are urged to "come out" of Babylon. What might that look like for God's people today?

Exodus 2:11-15 11 One day, when Moses had grown up, he went out to his people and looked on their burdens, and he saw an Egyptian beating a Hebrew, one of his people. 12 He looked this way and that, and seeing no one, he struck down the Egyptian and hid him in the sand. 13 When he went out the next day, behold, two Hebrews were struggling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, “Why do you strike your companion?” 14 He answered, “Who made you a prince and a judge over us? Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian?” Then Moses was afraid, and thought, “Surely the thing is known.” 15 When Pharaoh heard of it, he sought to kill Moses. But Moses fled from Pharaoh and stayed in the land of Midian. And he sat down by a well. Numbers 12:3 3 (Now Moses was a very humble man, more humble than anyone else on the face of the earth.) Numbers 20:1-12 1 In the first month the whole Israelite community arrived at the Desert of Zin, and they stayed at Kadesh. There Miriam died and was buried. 2 Now there was no water for the community, and the people gathered in opposition to Moses and Aaron. 3 They quarreled with Moses and said, “If only we had died when our brothers fell dead before the Lord! 4 Why did you bring the Lord's community into this wilderness, that we and our livestock should die here? 5 Why did you bring us up out of Egypt to this terrible place? It has no grain or figs, grapevines or pomegranates. And there is no water to drink!” 6 Moses and Aaron went from the assembly to the entrance to the tent of meeting and fell facedown, and the glory of the Lord appeared to them. 7 The Lord said to Moses, 8 “Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together. Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can drink.” 9 So Moses took the staff from the Lord's presence, just as he commanded him. 10 He and Aaron gathered the assembly together in front of the rock and Moses said to them, “Listen, you rebels, must we bring you water out of this rock?” 11 Then Moses raised his arm and struck the rock twice with his staff. Water gushed out, and the community and their livestock drank. 12 But the Lord said to Moses and Aaron, “Because you did not trust in me enough to honor me as holy in the sight of the Israelites, you will not bring this community into the land I give them.” FAILURES OF MOSES Exodus 2:11-15 Exodus 3 Exodus 4:24-26 Numbers 20:1-12 ON PRIDE AND HUMILITY C.S. Lewis: “The vice I am talking of is Pride or Self-Conceit: and the virtue opposite to it, in Christian morals, is called Humility...According to Christian teachers, the essential vice, the utmost evil, is Pride. Unchastity, anger, greed, drunkenness, and all that, are mere flea bites in comparison: it was through Pride that the devil became the devil: Pride leads to every other vice: it is the complete anti-God state of mind.” Jesus in Luke 14:11: “For all those who exalt themselves will be humbled, and those who humble themselves will be exalted.” ICE BREAKER Share a time where either you failed, or you witnessed a memorable failure. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS Glance over chapters 1 and 2 of Exodus. How does scripture set the scene so that the reader might expect an immediate heroic victory? Consider some of Moses' failures that scripture records (2:12-14, chapter 3, 4:24-26, Numbers 20:1-12). Which ones stand out to you? Does our culture punish certain types of failure differently than others? Numbers 12:3 tells us that Moses was the most humble person alive in his day. How can failure contribute to someone developing humility? Jeremy said "a more accurate understanding of the battle for our souls is the battle between our pride and our humility." C.S. Lewis called pride "the essential vice, the utmost evil." What makes pride so dangerous? How does humility counteract pride? What are some positive ways humility can be displayed... ...in our homes? ...at Southside? ...by our leaders? ...in our community?

Exodus 5:1-18   Afterward Moses and Aaron went and said to Pharaoh, “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, ‘Let my people go, that they may hold a feast to me in the wilderness.'” 2 But Pharaoh said, “Who is the Lord, that I should obey his voice and let Israel go? I do not know the Lord, and moreover, I will not let Israel go.” 3 Then they said, “The God of the Hebrews has met with us. Please let us go a three days' journey into the wilderness that we may sacrifice to the Lord our God, lest he fall upon us with pestilence or with the sword.” 4 But the king of Egypt said to them, “Moses and Aaron, why do you take the people away from their work? Get back to your burdens.” 5 And Pharaoh said, “Behold, the people of the land are now many, and you make them rest from their burdens!” 6 The same day Pharaoh commanded the taskmasters of the people and their foremen, 7 “You shall no longer give the people straw to make bricks, as in the past; let them go and gather straw for themselves. 8 But the number of bricks that they made in the past you shall impose on them, you shall by no means reduce it, for they are idle. Therefore they cry, ‘Let us go and offer sacrifice to our God.' 9 Let heavier work be laid on the men that they may labor at it and pay no regard to lying words.”   10 So the taskmasters and the foremen of the people went out and said to the people, “Thus says Pharaoh, ‘I will not give you straw. 11 Go and get your straw yourselves wherever you can find it, but your work will not be reduced in the least.'” 12 So the people were scattered throughout all the land of Egypt to gather stubble for straw. 13 The taskmasters were urgent, saying, “Complete your work, your daily task each day, as when there was straw.” 14 And the foremen of the people of Israel, whom Pharaoh's taskmasters had set over them, were beaten and were asked, “Why have you not done all your task of making bricks today and yesterday, as in the past?”   15 Then the foremen of the people of Israel came and cried to Pharaoh, “Why do you treat your servants like this? 16 No straw is given to your servants, yet they say to us, ‘Make bricks!' And behold, your servants are beaten; but the fault is in your own people.” 17 But he said, “You are idle, you are idle; that is why you say, ‘Let us go and sacrifice to the Lord.' 18 Go now and work. No straw will be given you, but you must still deliver the same number of bricks.”   DISCUSSION QUESTIONS   1 Icebreaker: Jeremy shared the example of a defiant child who wouldn't wear their jacket as an example of someone trying to exert control over their circumstances. What are some other examples of the desire to be in control?   2 Over and over, Pharaoh is shown that God, not himself, is the one truly in control. Why do you think he continues to resist God's command to release the Israelites?   3 The two main words used when Pharaoh “hardens” his heart mean either “to be heavy” (denoting a heart heavy with sin and guilt) or “to strengthen” (indicating a strong and resolute will). How does this help reading the challenging passages about God hardening Pharaoh's heart? In what ways are those passages still challenging?    4 We can either seek to be in control, or seek to know the One in control. What do each of these approaches look like, and how do they differ from each other?

Exodus 19:3-8 3 Then Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him from the mountain and said, “This is what you are to say to the descendants of Jacob and what you are to tell the people of Israel: 4 ‘You yourselves have seen what I did to Egypt, and how I carried you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. 5 Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, 6 you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation.' These are the words you are to speak to the Israelites.” 7 So Moses went back and summoned the elders of the people and set before them all the words the Lord had commanded him to speak. 8 The people all responded together, “We will do everything the Lord has said.” So Moses brought their answer back to the Lord. FROM THE SERMON: Israel's pattern of looking back: Slavery was better than death in the desert (14:12) We miss Egypt (16:3) God brought us here to kill our children (17:3) Look Back, See God, and Trust Forward. How to help our perspective: Commit to and engage with the church. Give it time. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Ice Breaker - what is something you remember with "Rosy Recollection" - the experience of recalling something more positively than you actually experienced it? 2. What do you think is responsible for the Israelites' pattern of longing to return to Egypt? 3. How do you relate to the Israelites in the book of Exodus? 4. Their time in Egypt clearly had a strong effect on the Israelites, causing them to misunderstand God and distorting their values. What might it look like for this to happen to Christians in America? What are our golden calves, and what about American culture that doesn't mesh with following Jesus do we sometimes long for? 5. How can looking back on God's activity help us to trust him going forward? Do you have a moment you look back on as a reminder that God can be trusted? 6. Jeremy shared that one way to help with our perspectives on the past is by being engaged with the Church. How does the community of Christ's body help our perspectives?

Exodus 2:23 - 3:10 23 During those many days the king of Egypt died, and the people of Israel groaned because of their slavery and cried out for help. Their cry for rescue from slavery came up to God. 24 And God heard their groaning, and God remembered his covenant with Abraham, with Isaac, and with Jacob. 25 God saw the people of Israel—and God knew. 1 Now Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law, Jethro, the priest of Midian, and he led his flock to the west side of the wilderness and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of the midst of a bush. He looked, and behold, the bush was burning, yet it was not consumed. 3 And Moses said, “I will turn aside to see this great sight, why the bush is not burned.” 4 When the Lord saw that he turned aside to see, God called to him out of the bush, “Moses, Moses!” And he said, “Here I am.” 5 Then he said, “Do not come near; take your sandals off your feet, for the place on which you are standing is holy ground.” 6 And he said, “I am the God of your father, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” And Moses hid his face, for he was afraid to look at God. 7 Then the Lord said, “I have surely seen the affliction of my people who are in Egypt and have heard their cry because of their taskmasters. I know their sufferings, 8 and I have come down to deliver them out of the hand of the Egyptians and to bring them up out of that land to a good and broad land, a land flowing with milk and honey, to the place of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Amorites, the Perizzites, the Hivites, and the Jebusites. 9 And now, behold, the cry of the people of Israel has come to me, and I have also seen the oppression with which the Egyptians oppress them. 10 Come, I will send you to Pharaoh that you may bring my people, the children of Israel, out of Egypt.” (ESV) FROM THE LESSON Maximilien Robespierre and King Louis XVI "What if the King had gotten out of the carriage?" Main players in the early chapters of Exodus: Israelites - "slaves with no hope" Pharaoh - "thinks he is a god" Moses - "a failed hero" The Exodus is a forever reminder that God cares and is at work. Exodus 2:25 - "God saw ... and God knew." Our King has gotten out of the carriage. We can remember that and honor it by: Remembering how Jesus stepped into our story. Sharing our stories and testimonies about what God is doing in our lives. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS The sermon discussed how there are some moments where one person in the right place can totally change the course of someone's future. What is a specific moment in time that you feel made a huge difference in your or someone else's life? If God doesn't choose to get involved in the story of Exodus, how might it have played out? Moses seemed very surprised at God's intervention in history. Do you think we expect God's activity in our lives, or are we more often surprised by it? What are some moments you look back on that help you remember that God is still at work today? How does having confidence that God is active in our lives change the way we live?

Job 42:1-6 Then Job answered the Lord and said: “I know that you can do all things,     and that no purpose of yours can be thwarted.  ‘Who is this that hides counsel without knowledge?' Therefore I have uttered what I did not understand,     things too wonderful for me, which I did not know. ‘Hear, and I will speak;     I will question you, and you make it known to me.' I had heard of you by the hearing of the ear,     but now my eye sees you; therefore I despise myself,     and repent in dust and ashes.” FROM THE LESSON Job's Friends: Job's friends utilize the standard wisdom of the ancient world, leading them to the conclusion that, because Job's suffering is so immense, he must have committed evil acts. Their debate with Job, who maintains his innocence, takes place across three cycles, wherein Job states his case, and his friends respond (chapters 13-14, chapters 15-21, and chapters 22-28). The arguments they present take the basic following forms: The Big Assumption: Both Job and his friends are operating on the assumption that God works in the following way: Transactional Relationships: a transactional relationship operates with the assumption that when you provide someone else with something favorable, they are obligated to respond in kind. When we view our relationships with people as transactional, we are looking for ways to control them. DISCUSSION QUESTIONS 1. Ice breaker: what are some funny questions you've run into. What are some hard questions you've pondered? 2. How did you feel about the story of the father and his 9-year-old daughter? Which parts of the story did you relate to or connect with? 3. When have you found yourself viewing others through a transactional lens? What does it look like when we view God this way? 4. How can hard or challenging questions draw us nearer to God rather than distance us from him? Are there certain approaches we can take to questions that can impact that? 5. Job, although he doesn't get the answer to his question, does get a glimpse of how vast creation is, and how amazing it is that the God who made it all would come and speak with him. What are some things that remind you that you are significant and precious to God?

Mark 10:17-22 17 As Jesus started on his way, a man ran up to him and fell on his knees before him. “Good teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?” 18 “Why do you call me good?” Jesus answered. “No one is good—except God alone. 19 You know the commandments: ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony, you shall not defraud, honor your father and mother.'” 20 “Teacher,” he declared, “all these I have kept since I was a boy.” 21 Jesus looked at him and loved him. “One thing you lack,” he said. “Go, sell everything you have and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.” 22 At this the man's face fell. He went away sad, because he had great wealth. (NIV) FROM THE LESSON 1 Peter 5:8-9 8 Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. 9 Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings. Romans 8:38-39 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. A QUESTION TO CONSIDER: Have I drawn "a line in the sand" in my heart? A PHRASE TO REMEMBER: "God loves you, and so do I." A WAY TO LIVE: Surrender DISCUSSION QUESTIONS What are some examples of people fighting for unworthy things? Have you ever discovered yourself in that position? Why might we be tempted to "dig in" and fight God rather than surrendering to him? The Bible describes the devil as a lion that wants to devour us. How do you tend to view sin? Do you think of it more as a personal struggle, or something with wider-reaching effects? What does surrender to Jesus look like? How do you tend to respond when someone shares a struggle with you? How can we make our community a place where people feel able to share struggles?

This second episode of the re-awakening returns in gratitude to Jeremy Stewart, the man and his art. The song Don't Look Away from the LIght is no doubt a form of 4th Cinema. This podcast is such. There are some beautiful surprises in this episode, including an appearance from Bagwan Osho Rajneesh. Sorry to spoil the surprise.

This is the prologue to the introduction to work of Jeremy Stewart, at least in some sense. In essence, or essentially. Links to some of the referenced shite: Jeremy's poem 'bugs groucho I: self-portrait with greasepaint eyebrows & moustache': https://bnw-mag.blogspot.com/2020/03/jeremy-stewart-bugs-groucho-1-5.html JW Dunne's curious Experiment with Time: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Experiment_with_Time

Singing Jeremy Stewart to my dog in her last days, I reel at the thought of reels, I go dizzy with Vertov, I, Kino I, realize or strive to realize both Self (mine) and selflessness. I read from TREEPLANTERLAND's vital thesis, reveal one small scene from Absentia. I imagine a film called Colonizers, Then imagine that film a porn. No no no hyphens necessary when you're here alone here all alone. Alone, here in Absentia.

It takes awhile to unpack an exploration.

Jeremy Stewart is one of these artists who will be talked about long after he is dead, by a public that could not accept him in his lifetime.Maybe, he won't because electricity is enabling a public of morons. He's a Kafka at heart. A bankrupt at wessel sphincter. I'm guessing he's uncircumcised. Only Jeremy would apprecieate the fact that Raghu Lokanathan once publicly declared that he got circumcised at the age of 8. What a dramatic way to begin a discussion of Jeremy Stewart, a man who once had abrasive ways. Jeremy Stewart, a man who once had abrasive ... abraisiveness. From the basement suite poverty of a mother who would not quit., Jeremy Stewart learned not to quit, either. he just kept fucking shoving his art in your face. At some point in his shitbag, penurious, malfeasant existence, Jeremy Stewart, obviously, was given something by art. Something fucking made this guy push and push and push, and in this 17, or more, part series of episode, we are going to try to tap Jeremy Stewart. Tranquillo, Amigot. Watch the documentary and read this write up, then we'll make another show. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xE8XRTSGY_g

Join Sam Schechter from the BC NDP, Ryan Campbell from the BC Liberals and Nathan Giede from the BC Conservatives for a discussion of BC's issue-less election, the disastrous BC Liberal campaign, the place of social conservatism in BC politics and the relevance of the BC Greens. With the BC Ecosocialists declining to run candidates in the election, Jeremy Stewart has left the panel and Cheryl Wiens' substitute, Wes Regan, was unable to join the call.

Cheryl Wiens of the Greens, Nathan Giede of the Tories, Ryan Campbell of the Liberals, Sam Schechter of the NDP and Jeremy Stewart of the BC Ecosocialists discuss the drug poisoning epidemic, the return to school and the correctly-predicted imminent election call. Sorry for the three-day delay in putting this one up. Those in the know might know I've been a tad busy.

Having a particular set of skills doesn’t have to limit you to one industry. You can always follow in the footsteps of Hari Mari founder Jeremy Stewart.Jeremy spent a decade as a political consultant: But after two presidential campaigns in Indonesia, he and his wife Lila were burned out. Their next move was something completely different — they started selling flip flops.But it turns out that making the switch from politics to products is not as wild a leap as you might think.“A politician is just a walking consumer good,” Jeremy says. “You dress them up, you attach messages, send them to the right distribution channel. If you do it right, you have favorable results.”Back in Dallas, hunting for a new consumer good to dress up and sell, he kept coming back to flip flops. His research revealed that the market was bigger than he’d expected and wasn’t yet dominated by a single player. And the products hadn’t been redesigned in years.Jeremy applied his political campaign skills to creating a sandal that would get consumers’ votes. Through focus groups, he learned that people wanted color, comfort and casual styles.There were missteps along the way. Jeremy had no experience in footwear. His first order of 25,000 pairs was held up at customs over incorrect labels, and 10,000 were too faulty to sell.Jeremy and Lila gave the faulty-but-wearable pairs to a non-profit for donation — which instead sold them at massively reduced rates online.However, that experience hasn’t dampened Jeremy’s generous spirit: Hari Mari donates one percent of sales to pediatric oncology and hematology centers. The company also donates specially designed flip flops to service members and first responders who have lost a leg, and flip flops to medical workers on the front line of the pandemic.“It’s a big part of our culture. It gives us real purpose because we know that if we can increase our sales and grow our brand footprint, there is a backend that is super helpful to children and families who are battling cancer.Featured Entrepreneur

Global security expert Jeremy Stewart joins the show to discuss a wide range of home and business safety solutions. Jeremy is a 30 year expert in the art of video surveillance and he highlights many new advancements in 4K video technology, motion sensors, safety apps and overall general safety practices for home and business owners. […] The post Safety Talk #49 – HD/4K video security & surveillance with Swann Security's Jeremy Stewart first appeared on Safety Talk Podcast.

Jeremy Stewart from Swann joined us on the show to talk about their latest addition, the Enforcer. It's a wired multi-camera surveillance system, but each camera also has activity-triggered police-style red and blue flashing lights and spotlights to deter intruders and warn you of potential threats. The video quality is impressive 1080p full HD during the day and, unlike a lot of the security systems on the market, full colour at night thanks to Swann's Night2Day technology. @Geoff Quattromani joined us to cover the Mavic Air 2 - DJI's latest drone, as well as drones and their uses today. In a compact form factor, the Mavic Air 2 offers advanced power and portability, unlike its predecessors. Promoting safer, smarter flying, it enables you to up your level of capability while also enjoying the creative process.

Over the last weekend of July, the BC Politics panel of Missing Peter Gzowski in Prince George met to discuss the ethics of a fall election. John Horgan has been talking about ending the Confidence and Supply Agreement with the Green Party as early as September. Is this legal? Is this ethical? Is this good for regular folks in BC? This episode welcomed Cheryl Wiens as our permanent Green Party representative. She joined the NDP's Sam Schechter, BC Liberals' Ryan Campbell and the Ecosocialists' Jeremy Stewart. The BC Tories' Nathan Giede was not able to join us from his long work assignment in Churchill MB.

As a self-proclaimed travel junkie and risk taker, Jeremy Stewart knew he had the risk tolerance to become an entrepreneur. While looking for business ideas, Jeremy and his wife considered five different consumer goods, but kept coming back to flip flops. They're both flip flop wearers and, after spending five years in Indonesia where Jeremy worked as a political consultant, they went to a local store for a new pair and realized nothing about the casual, open-toe shoes had changed — there was zero innovation. In a sea of uncomfortable black and brown flip flops, Jeremy saw an opportunity. He hired a focus group moderator, gave him a script and sat behind the glass for three days listening to college students answer questions about their flip flop purchasing habits and perceptions. The main point of contention with flip flops on the market? The little piece that goes between your toes — it's uncomfortable, and can take months to break in — sometimes it was even a bloody experience. So Jeremy set out to end “the war on toes.” He hired an engineer who worked for Teva to design a memory foam toe piece that mitigated the typical breaking in period for flip flops, and it was truly a game changer. On the marketing side, instead of being “steeped in the surf culture,” Hari Mari, which is Dallas based, positions itself as more of a lifestyle brand. This kept the brand from being pigeonholed into one retail category, like surf shops, and instead helped the flip flops land on shelves of both local boutiques and large retailers like Zappos. As a premium brand, Hari Mari also found a sweet spot with pricing. “[W]e saw, you know, 500 brands producing flip-flops from 50 bucks and below,” Jeremy says, while there were just five  companies making flip flops for more than $90. “And what we really saw was this gap — this under-serviced gap between 50 and 90, where literally no one was playing.”From 30 stores in three states to nearly 1,000 stores in 49 states within eight years, Hari Mari's comfortable, high-quality flip flop has challenged the casual footwear industry. “For us, it's creating a really good product that is actually different than what's next to it.” ##Prentice's Takeaway

On this episode, we launch a special series called “Blackness at Cornell" with staff member Jeremy Stewart. For more information on anti-racism resources available at Cornell, please visit: https://diversity.cornell.edu/our-community/anti-racism-resources

This week our political panel discussed the Justin Neufeld scandal in which a BC Liberal volunteer was cut from the party over social media posts comparing Black Lives Matter to the Nazis. Urbanist and public health expert Wes Regan represented the Greens; arts impresario, poet and Derrida scholar Jeremy Stewart represented the Ecosocialists; Sam Schechter, Douglas College communications instructor represented the NDP; Nathan Giede Prince George citizen columnist and radio host represented the BC Conservatives and Ryan Campbell, construction project manager and long-time Fair Vote Canada director represented the BC Liberals. The panel delved into questions of how changing ideas of labour and democracy are remaking our political parties at the grassroots level.

This is the first of our monthly political panels on Missing Peter Gzowski in Prince George. It is a deliberate tribute to the Dalton Camp-Eric Kierans-Stephen Lewis panel of the 1980s, from the world before talking points, back when people demonstrated their loyalty to their party not just by praising it when it was right but criticizing it when it was wrong. Kierans and Camp epitomized that old school loyalty that made them challenge their leaders from time to time. We have a very clever and loyal bunch on this panel: Sam Schechter former North Vancouver city councillor, communications instructor at Douglas College, former BC NDP staffer, member of the party's oversight committee. Jeremy Stewart arts impresario, poet, PhD candidate at Lancashire University, former BC Ecosocialist Communications chair and communications and outreach director for the White Rock Business improvement association. Wes Regan former Green candidate and federal party director, environmental activist, urban studies commentator and population health expert for the BC government. Nathan Giede former BC Conservative Party candidate, CFIS radio show host, Prince George Citizen columnist and copier salesman. Ryan Campbell former BC Liberal riding association director, long-time Fair Vote Canada national director, co-founder of Liberals for Fair Voting and construction sector project manager Wes is not our regular Green Party contributor. Cheryl Wiens will be sliding into his chair in the summer.

If the harvest show was an homage to Peter Gzowski's Morningside of the 80s, this show owes credit to Kathryn Gretzinger's Early Edition. In our first segment, my partner and famed BC nature artist Corey Matthews speaks on her return to Prince George and our shared project working on landscape through Los Altos Institute. Former Prince George Symphony Orchestra executive director and poet Jeremy Stewart then joins us to compare notes on Prince George's and South Surrey/White Rock's moral panics about downtown business and poverty. Our regular sports columnist Michael Demers joins us to talk about the NHL coaching abuse scandal, followed by our movie reviewer Sean Frackowiak offering a spoiler-free review of the final Star Wars movie now showing in theatres.

“Your feet take you on these adventures. You should have quality flip flops that you keep for a long time. That really became our core story.” That spark of an idea led Jeremy Stewart and his wife to found premium flip-flop brand Hari-Mari. In doing so, they essentially created a new market that involved changing behavior around what we put on our feet in warm weather. He took some time to share the story of founding the company and building the brand this week on the On Brand podcast. About Jeremy Stewart Jeremy is the founder of Hari Mari flip flops – a Dallas-based sandal brand he launched in 2012 with his wife, Lila. The idea for Hari Mari was born out of the couple’s time spent living in Indonesia, where they were consistently disappointed with their flip flops – marked by painful break-in periods and the same iterations of black and brown color options. Moving back to the States, they doubled down on their unhealthy obsession with fixing these issues, Hari Mari, and combining color & comfort in a premium flip flop! The Stewarts married this new footwear venture with their passion for helping kids, donating a portion of Hari Mari’s sales to support children battling cancer. They call it Flops Fighting Cancer. Hari Mari has since grown its footprint to include some 1500 retail stores covering 50 U.S. States, Mexico, Japan, Canada, and the Bahamas, in addition to the brand’s own site, HariMari.com. Episode Highlights Start with scrappy market research. As you know, I’m a fan of scrappy marketing. However, until talking with Jeremy, I’d never heard of scrappy market research. When he was struck by the idea of creating premium flip flops, he invited interested parties to a focus group moderated by his friend in exchange for some free pizza. The result? Great intel and a solid start. “Flipping the script.” With Hari Mari, everything is different. Compared to the rest of the category, the product is different. “We started with the pain point — the toe post.” That’s the annoying piece of plastic that turns most people off of flip flips entirely. Jeremy knew they had to do something different, so they brought in the designer from sandal brand Teva to develop something completely different and exceptionally comfortable. Fixing the problem. “We had to talk about the problem first,” says Jeremy. But once you address this challenge you have a standout product. “People are willing to pay more for quality and for something that doesn’t end up in a landfill.” What brand has made Jeremy smile recently? Jeremy shared a few other entrepreneurial Texas fashion brands that make him smile including Criquet Shirts and Howler Brothers both located in Austin.

Psalm 46

Our guest for this week is Jeremy Stewart, entrepreneur and founder of Hari Mari. Jeremy used to work as a political consultant, running campaigns for politicians internationally. In 2012, he decided to go back tome to Texas and apply his marketing and strategical planning skills to enter the market of consumer goods.
