What are Christians to make of President Donald Trump's comments about wanting to get into heaven? The commander-in-chief's recent proclamations reignited a theological debate about faith and works — and sparked a litany of questions."President Donald Trump's recent comments suggesting he could earn his way to Heaven by ending the Ukraine-Russia war prompted a flurry of theological debate on social media regarding good works, salvation and the state of the president's soul," The Christian Post's Jon Brown recently wrote, noting Trump said the following during a "Fox & Friends" interview: "I want to try and get to Heaven if possible. I'm hearing I'm not doing well. I hear I'm really at the bottom of the totem pole."Brown joins "The Inside Story" to break down the discussion and debate that followed.

In this episode of The Inside Story, Billy Hallowell sits down with The Christian Post's Jon Brown to unpack key moments from the recent TPUSA Faith Pastors Summit in California. From Greg Laurie's call to “evangelize or fossilize” to Eric Metaxas' warning about cultural silence, pastors and leaders urged Christians to stand firm in truth and boldly engage a rapidly shifting culture. With revival stirring among Gen Z and young believers, what does this mean for the future of the church, and how should Christians respond to cultural opposition? Billy and Jon break it all down.

The MacAdmins Community has a long, vibrant history of solving problems together usually through open source projects that become essential tools in our workflows. Whatever challenge you're facing, chances are there's already a project, or a group of passionate people, tackling something similar. But with so many options, the path forward isn't always clear. Do you adopt an existing open source tool? Invest in a polished, commercial solution? Or roll up your sleeves and build something totally new? Today we're diving into one admins journey into this struggle, and their path as they decided to build their own solutions for automating application and software patching in their organization.

Macs are safe - they don't get malware. We used to hear this all the time and whilst Apple has done a wonderful job of building a secure by design operating system, there are still threats out there we need to protect ourselves against. It's also no surprise that macOS is not Windows. And it's further and further away from behaving like UNIX these days. So how do we know what to look for, and where to even go looking for it?

The crisis at Baylor University over a $643,401 grant intended to study LGBTQ+ inclusion in churches poured over into the media earlier this month, with the historically Baptist school returning the funds after public outcry. The Eula Mae and John Baugh Foundation, which issued the grant, expressed frustration with the decision to backtrack after Baylor University President Linda Livingstone put out a statement announcing the monetary return."While acknowledging the importance of loving LGBTQ-identifying students at Baylor, Livingstone also suggested the grant effectively violated the school's stated sexual ethics," Christian Post reporter Jon Brown wrote.Brown joins "The Inside Story" to break down the issue and provide a comprehensive explanation of what unfolded.

What does it mean to be a Mac Admin in the year of jobs 2025? Long gone are the days of having to explain that no, that isn't something that macs can integrate with. Instead we have all had to become experts in so many different silos within the modern IT organisation, from Identity, Security, Networking and Certificates. Being able to embrace and understand these concepts has also led to opportunities in career growth. Gone are the days where hoping for a small windowless room and the opportunity to get some new hardware to test once in a while was seen as a good deal. The growth of macOS in the enterprise has meant that our skills are incredibly attractive to large organisations, especially if we are able to combine technical prowess with the negotiation and collaboration required to drag Windows-centric teams towards the path of righteousness when it comes to a cross-platform or employee choice environment Hosts: Tom Bridge - @tbridge@theinternet.social Marcus Ransom - @marcusransom Guests: Tony Young - LinkedIn Links: Tony's Career Audit Career Audit Template Kane Narraway What is Client Platform Engineering Sponsors: Kandji Kolide Alectrona Watchman Monitoring If you're interested in sponsoring the Mac Admins Podcast, please email podcast@macadmins.org for more information.

We have all enjoyed seeing Apple make the noticeable shift to embracing modern cloud identity with the integrations we have seen over the past few years. From modern authentication at enrollment, Single Sign on extensions through to Federation of Managed Apple accounts and Platform Single Sign-on.

Galatians 6:9

On this episode of "The Inside Story," The Christian Post's Jon Brown breaks down a surprising drama unfolding inside the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) after a leader in the denomination displayed a list of people he publicly accused of being "scandalizers.""During an episode of The Gospel Coalition's 'Gospelbound' podcast last week that touched on institutional stewardship, the Rev. Bryan Chapell, who has served as the administrative head of the Presbyterian Church in America (PCA) since 2020, briefly showed a list of people whom he accused of either abandoning their families, renouncing Jesus Christ or dying by suicide," Brown wrote.Furor and frustration immediately followed when viewers were able to zoom in and read the list of names. Some of those listed have since spoken up in shock and awe that they were included, denying the aforementioned claims. Listen to Brown explain the whole story and read more here.

He also shares what midshipmen told him about the meaning of the painting to them and why some would like to see it put back on display.

Career progression in IT can feel a bit unclear at times. Start as a Helpdesk, get to be a CPE, what happens next? How does development actually work? What do most organizations do to tier their people? How do you move up as an individual contributor? We're talking with Graham Gilbert of Airbnb about what it's like to move up toward the rarified air of staff engineer and beyond.

Jobs are great, and we're not just talking Steve here. Some of us are even fortunate enough to have a job. In the current economic climate, changing jobs isn't always something that can be planned, so holding onto a job is often our primary concern. But how do we know when we have outgrown our current role? What are some of the signs that it's time to start looking? How do we know if we are jumping out of the frying pan and into the fire? What are some of the strategies that we can use to make sure we advance our career and preserve our sanity?

Who doesn't like a nice round number? Much like watching the odometer on the car tick over, we decided to make something special of episode 400, even if it technically might be the 410th episode we recorded… Please allow us to indulge ourselves by having a look back on the almost nine years we have been doing this. We are so humbled y'all are still here!
