Podcast appearances and mentions of John Thomas

In this episode of Future Finance, hosts Paul Barnhurst and Glenn Hopper explore how leaders can cut through the hype around artificial intelligence and focus on real-world impact. The conversation dives into why so many AI initiatives fail, how cognitive biases affect AI adoption, and why finance professionals must learn to ask better questions before deploying models. John Thomas is the Founder and CEO of the Global Institute of Data Science (GIDS), a consulting and professional development organization focused on helping organizations successfully implement AI and data science initiatives. He serves as a Fractional Chief AI Officer for Fortune 500 companies and teaches AI and machine learning courses at Caltech CTME and UC San Diego Extended Studies.In this episode, you will discover:Why 85% of AI projects fail and how to avoid The difference between AI hype and real implementationHow augmented intelligence improves human decision-makingWhy asking the right questions about AI models matters mostHow AI can help with risk analysis and financial decision-makingThis episode highlights that successful AI adoption is not about chasing the latest technology trends but about asking better questions, understanding assumptions, and focusing on real business problems. As AI continues to evolve, finance leaders who combine human judgment with intelligent systems will be best positioned to turn AI from hype into measurable results.Follow John:GIDS: https://gidsco.substack.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-thomas-foxworthy-m-s-data-science-1718073/Future Alpha Event: https://www.alphaevents.com/events-futurealphaglobal/agenda-page/filter?_gl=1*1j0347f*[…]ovIhoCWOYQAvD_BwE&gbraid=0AAAAAomEzrlLzh-epjUJjbfXNnASlChgaFollow Glenn:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gbhopperiiiFollow Paul:LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/thefpandaguyFollow QFlow.AI:Website - https://bit.ly/4i1EkjgFuture Finance is sponsored by QFlow.ai, the strategic finance platform solving the toughest part of planning and analysis: B2B revenue.

David Ford joins Mark Labberton to explore why the Gospel of John still feels inexhaustible—cosmic, intimate, and urgently relevant in a fractured age. Ford has spent over two decades inside this text and finds it as generative as ever. "Any of us can begin this quiet revolution in our own corner of things." Together they reflect on John as a gospel of encounter, trust, and lifelong rereading. Together they discuss the prologue as a frame for all reality, John 17 as midrash on the Lord's Prayer, the theology of greatness, and Christian unity as gift before task. Together they ask how rereading John forms resilient communities of truth, love, and daring friendship. Episode Highlights "You can reread and reread and reread, and the levels go on deepening and deepening that it never comes to an end." "The meeting with God in John is through trusting Jesus." "Every time we read this as we are now, we are in the presence of the one we are talking about." "Unity, this unity is a gift before it's a task." "We are a centered set, not a bounded set. It's not the boundaries that define us, it's the center." About David Ford David F. Ford OBE is Regius Professor of Divinity Emeritus at Cambridge and a Fellow of Selwyn College. He founded the Cambridge Inter-Faith Programme, co-founded scriptural reasoning, and co-chairs the Rose Castle Foundation.

Most Christians believe God used to speak through dreams. John Thomas believes He never stopped and that we've been trained since childhood to ignore it.John spent years dissecting every dream experience in Scripture, and what he found challenges how most of us were raised to think about this. Dreams aren't just random noise from your subconscious. They're one of God's primary languages and once you understand the patterns, you'll start to recognize what He's been saying all along.In this conversation, we cover:0:00 – The moment that changed how John reads Scripture1:56 – Why God speaks from your own life (the cup bearer, the baker, Gideon)5:22 – How we accidentally train our kids to ignore God's voice7:40 – Numbers 12: God's "default" communication method (most people miss this)11:29 – How Joseph's dream saved Jesus' life and what that means for yours15:48 – The difference between God dreams, soul dreams, and enemy dreams16:39 – Why light and color in your dream actually matter29:30 – Why you should never use AI to interpret your dreams30:16 – Common dream symbols decoded: flying, falling, nakedness, houses, cars36:26 – John's nightly practice for intentionally receiving dreams from God42:15 – For those tormented by nightmares: what John wants you to hearWhether you've never had a meaningful dream or you're drowning in them and don't know what they mean — this conversation is for you.Connect with John Thomas: Streams Ministries#HearingGod #ChristianDreams #DreamInterpretation #ReceiveAcademy

Retired FBI agent and criminal profiler Candice DeLong examines the tragic and highly publicized case of John Thomas Sweeney, whose obsessive control and escalating violence led to the murder of actress Dominique Dunne in 1982. After a volatile and abusive relationship, Sweeney strangled Dunne outside her Los Angeles home, a crime that exposed devastating gaps in how the justice system addressed domestic violence and intimate partner abuse at the time. Candice unpacks the psychological warning signs, coercive dynamics, and entitlement-driven rage that defined Sweeney's behavior, and why Dominique Dunne's death became a turning point in the national conversation about accountability, stalking, and victim protection.Be the first to know about Wondery's newest podcasts, curated recommendations, and more!

Let's take stock of the catalogue of carnage to date.We've reached the halfway point of The A–Z of Psychopaths — and before plunging headlong into the rest of the alphabet, it's time to pause, reflect, and ask an uncomfortable question: Who is the worst psycho killer… so far?In this special mid-series episode, I'll rank the most disturbing figures we've covered to date using a deliberately unscientific but brutally honest scoring system — weighing body count, cruelty, manipulation, remorse (or lack of it), cultural impact, and that indefinable “ick” factor.From high-volume predators to sadists, cult leaders and killers who outsourced the violence, this is a top five nobody wants to top — with one name emerging as the most chilling presence we've encountered yet.And just before we move on… a teaser for the next letter, involving fame, firearms, paranoia, and a conviction that didn't end where it began. This is snack-sized true crime, with a warning label — and a reminder that some stories deserve a much longer, deeper reckoning.

It's a NEW YEAR and JEFF IS BACK... yeah I know... but all this fun stuff happened while we were gone and so Jeff is pretty hype to talk about it while talking with Jimmy Gagliano, John Thomas, Carl Carlson & Karl Leonard on this FIRST SHOW OF THE YEAR 2026 EDITION of The Jeff Katz Show!

There is a special election tomorrow and John Thomas is the Republican running and tell Jeff why this election is so important.

In the second hour Jeff chats with John Thomas and Carl Carlson.

In 1 John 5verses1-5 we are told the source of overcoming the world - by the faith of the son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. And by that faith I live. An early Christadelphian writer, John Thomas said, that this was by a faith, which works by love and purifiers the soul (life). John Thomas was alluding to the early verses of Galatians 5. The Apostle John tells us that such a belief is evidence of our divine begetting. And, for us, it is the assurance ("by this we know") that God is with us. We can be more than conquerors through Him who loves us (Romans 8). The work, spoken of in chapter 2, is not about our love, but we do love the Father with all of our heart. And this love of the Father which impels us was the motive force of the life of the Son of God. Read Romans 8verses31-39 slowly and pause and ponder. Verses 6-12 provide testimony concerning the Son of God. Our Lord Jesus who came by water and blood - the water in which he was immersed at his baptism and the water of the Word of God with which his mind was saturated; and the blood of his sacrificial offering of himself. This offering was sanctified by the Word of God and prayer and pleased his Father. John is alluding to his witnessing of the crucifixion (John 19verses34-37). Verse 7 from the ESV reads, and I quote in full, "For there are three that testifyverses". Most of the better translations recognise the insertion into the text of additional words which aren't found in most of the older manuscripts. The additional words used in the KJV (and some other versions are admitted by most modern translations to be spurious and added by a Jesuit monk, Immanuel Tapsensis). Verse 8 identifies the three witnesses to our Lord's divine Sonship as - the Spirit, the water and the blood. Under the law at least two corroborating witnesses were needed to determine truth. John affirms total agreement among these witnesses. Additionally, God bore testimony, Matthew 3verses15-17, to His Son. And only in His Son, and through His Son's work, we have life. From verses 13-21 the beloved disciple John has written these things for our assurance ("that we may know"). We have known and believed upon the name above every name (Philippians 2verses9-11), and the only name in which there is salvation (Acts 4verses12). And through continuance in this Name salvation is assured. John repeats that the Father's ear is ever open to His children's pleas. Verses 16-17 reiterates that when we love the brethren we will help them (as they will likewise help us) when we stumble (Galatians 6verses1-5). Such advice and correction will prevent rejection at the coming judgment of our Lord Jesus Christ. But, for the habitual and lawless sinner, who has abandoned any attempt to continue walking in the light there remains "no offering for sin" (Hebrews 10verses26-39). Being begotten by God, through His Word (1 Peter 1verses22-25), we overcome in faith and walk in the way of His commandments. The world and its ways allure, but cannot conquer us. Finally, says John, "Keep yourself from idols" - a specific allusion to the Ten Commandments (especially numbers 1 and 10 which bookend all the others). Keeping ourselves from idols is about the tendency within our human nature to always look after ourselves before applying ourselves to living according to the ways of our Almighty Father.Thanks for joining us - we pray you found these comments helpful in your appreciation of God's words, join again tomorrow

After the obviousness that was all our positive reviews of 1987's original Predator film, we knew that starting this week there would be some chinks in the title character's armor. Predator 2 was released around Thanksgiving in 1990 and even with Jim and John Thomas returning to pen the script, to say it wasn't received nearly as well would be an understatement. This may have to do with changing the director from well renowned action director John McTiernan to Aussie Stephen Hopkins (A Nightmare on Elm Street 5 The Dream Child). But the big change, of course, was changing out muscle bound full of machismo Ah-nold Schwarzenegger to Lethal Weapon's ‘I'm too old for this shit' Danny Glover. Listen to the latest Three Men and a Retrospective Podcast to hear Adam and Garrett recount their theatrical experiences of seeing the film (as Matt laughs at the fact it came out three years before he was born), and of course give their expectations and overall thoughts as they revisit Predator 2 for this long form review. Also, keep in mind that the co-hosts already reviewed the Alien Vs Predator films in the lead up to 2022's Prey (check for those reviews in the archives), so next week's review will be 2010's Predators!

In his 6th chapter the prophet Micah, speaking on the LORD's behalf, condemns the nation. God asks, is there a reason My people have turned from Me. What have I done to cause this. The reality was the very reverse. He had so often pardoned them though they spurned Him in response. Think how great was His love and forgiveness why they grievously transgressed at Baal Peor in Numbers 24-25. God's righteousness is inextricably associated with His mercy, grace and forgiveness. From verses 6-8 is the crux of what God asks of us in response to His pardon. The Law of Moses similarly summarised what God requires from His people in Deuteronomy 10verses12-13. It is not the sacrifice of offering that establishes a relationship with our Maker, but rather a humble recognition of what He has done for us. A humbling of ourselves to walk with the One whose condescension to be our God is beyond our capacity to comprehend (Isaiah 57verses15). Read verse 8 aloud - pause and ponder. Verses 9-16 tell of God's determination to destroy the wicked. This is the character and ways of our God (see Exodus 34verses5-7; and Romans 11verses22-23).James 2 was a hotly debated chapter at the time of the Reformation. Martin Luther totally misunderstood the message of James 2 and declared the letter of James to be, "A straw letter". The atonement is not based on faith alone; but upon a faith that actively works, being energised by love to purify our hearts (Galatians 5verses1-6). Paul and James do not present conflicting arguments, but they are in fact complementary - John Thomas, a Christadelphian writer wrote in 'Elpis Israel' (published in 1850), "Abraham the sinner was justified by faith, but Abraham the saint was justified by his works".Ephesians 2verses4-10 express the truth that works are the response in gratitude to God's grace of His children. Verses 1-13 of James 2 deal with the sin of partiality. This is a sin to which we are all prone. We are all equal in God's eyes. James says the prominent, the posers, the powerful are shown preference. How evil is this. The Bible stresses the need to look after the poor and the vulnerable. Chapter 1 ended on this note. How magnificent and majestic are the words of verse 5 - read slowly, pause and ponder. We must modify our attitudes and behaviours to be the children of our Father. James declared that the very ones to whom you are partial are your persecutors and oppressors. God's royal law is the law of Love. It is Royal as it reigns supreme above all other laws. It cannot be measured, nor legislated. And yet it will be the basis of our being judged by our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming - compare Romans 13verses8-10. Mercy is received when mercy is the basis of our dealings with others. From verses 14-26 the writer establishes from the Scripture the uselessness of a faith without works. He gave the example of sensitivity to spiritual needs, yet totally insensitivity to life's essentials - how incongruous, and yet this often happens. Faith cannot be demonstrated in a vacuum. Even demented people can show a fearful, but pointless faith (belief). The evidence of faith is seen in action (the writer to the Hebrews showed this in the 11th chapter). Abraham and Rahab are the evidence of James' argument. Faith without works is as useful as a corpse without breath.

These guitars are considered some of the finest ever made by Gibson.It was a five-year journey of research, conversations, and travel. The story is so remarkable, it's become a documentary that won Best Short Documentary awards at the Poppy Jasper International Film Festival and Red Dirt Film Festival. And there are more festivals screening the film in 2025.He's an author, a musician, an attorney, a law professor, an avid cyclist, and a champion of women in music.Meet John Thomas!

The John Phillips Show 8/4/25 Hour 2See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In Segment 2, Marc brings in Republican strategist John Thomas to dissect the latest act of judicial activism—this time from Obama-appointed U.S. District Judge Indira Talwani. Despite the Supreme Court's prior pushback on nationwide injunctions, Talwani reissued an order blocking Trump's “Big Beautiful Bill,” which aimed to halt federal Medicaid reimbursements to Planned Parenthood. Thomas warns this isn't just a policy setback—it's a direct challenge to the will of Congress and the voters who passed the law. The judge's move, they argue, is a calculated stall to keep taxpayer funds flowing to abortion providers until the issue drags its way to the Supreme Court. Kim points out the hypocrisy: if Planned Parenthood isn't “all about abortion,” why would cutting that funding bankrupt them? The team ends with a warning—judicial appointments matter, and Democrats are playing the long game.

Hour 2 dives into a federal judge's blatant defiance of the Supreme Court by blocking Medicaid restrictions on abortion funding, with Republican strategist John Thomas warning this battle will drag into the midterms and energize the left; Marc then slams New York's governor for cluelessly blaming gun laws for a recent shooting while shifting focus to business updates and quirky stories like turtles smuggled in a bra, a WNBA player's wig mishap, and a raccoon attack, rounding out the hour with a preview of a major Biden-era congressional investigation coming up next.

Hour 1 opens with traffic alerts and a scathing critique of the Cincinnati police chief's feeble response to a viral assault, drawing parallels to Ferguson and the media's power to shape reality. The mood shifts to mourning Ozzy Osbourne and a harsh take on Hollywood's left-wing activism. Kim then tackles the homelessness crisis, praising Trump's “housing first” approach and exposing liberal failures. The hour closes with coverage of a massive Russian earthquake and its Pacific tsunami threat, recalling past St. Louis seismic events. Hour 2 dives into a federal judge defying the Supreme Court by blocking Medicaid abortion funding restrictions, with GOP strategist John Thomas predicting a heated midterm battle. Marc slams New York's governor for misplacing blame on gun laws after a shooting and covers lighter topics including bizarre smuggling cases and animal attacks, ending with a preview of a major Biden-era congressional probe. Hour 3 updates ongoing House Oversight hearings on Biden insiders like Steve Ricchetti and the “auto pen” scandal. Heritage's Jay Green exposes inflated state school grades masking failing education, while the hosts dismantle media lies about Gaza starvation, revealing Hamas's role and the New York Times' retraction. Kim on a Whim highlights the troubling fining of a Montreal church for a Christian concert, warning of rising government overreach against religious freedom. Hour 4 spotlights the Gateway Arch Park Foundation's plan to demolish and redevelop the dormant Millennium Hotel to boost downtown St. Louis. The Fed is expected to keep interest rates steady amid trade tensions with China. Retirement advisor Bob Kershaw shares strategies to protect savings during market dips and invites listeners to a free seminar. The hour wraps with Capitol Hill hearings on the AutoPen controversy and updates from Brian Kilmeade.ou said:
