If you've ever walked out of ballet class replaying every mistake in your head — the turn you fell out of, the combination you messed up, the step that just won't click — you're not alone...As adult dancers, we often hold ourselves to incredibly high standards. And while that drive can be a powerful motivator, it can also quietly take the joy out of dancing, and even sabotage our progress.In this episode, I'm joined by Kirsten Kemp, a high-performance mindset coach who works specifically with dancers, to talk about how perfectionism shows up in ballet training and what to do instead.We talk about why perfectionism can derail your class experience, what's happening in your brain when you spiral after messing up, and simple tools you can use in the moment to reset and stay engaged.Kirsten also shares her perspective on “mentally budgeting” for mistakes, how to set realistic expectations without lowering your standards, and how to stay motivated even during seasons of slow progress.If you're someone who cares deeply about improving but often find yourself  frustrated, discouraged, or defeated, this episode is your road map to renewed confidence and joy!

Aaron Kemp sits at an unusual intersection. He holds a doctorate in cybersecurity, spent years in DoD classified environments running SCI and SAP facilities, and now leads KPMG's quantum research practice — where he's a co-author on a recent hybrid QML paper with Kipu Quantum and IBM. He's also the lead author of KPMG's Q-PREP framework, which pushes enterprises to treat post-quantum cryptography migration as an operational risk problem right now.If you've wondered how quantum actually lands inside a Fortune 200 boardroom — not the hype cycle version, but the "what do you actually tell the CFO" version — this episode maps that territory honestly. It's also useful listening if you're trying to understand the emerging talent gap, why the quiet in enterprise research publications may itself be a signal, and how a firm known for audit and advisory ends up doing multispectral analysis of chestnut trees on IBM quantum processors.What We Get IntoWhy KPMG split quantum into distinct practices — PQC, sensing, optimization, and research — and what that structural choice signals about market timingHow a PBS documentary about the American chestnut tree led to a peer-reviewed quantum ML paper with Kipu Quantum and IBMThe honest case for a 3% accuracy gain over classical ResNet-50 baselines — and why Aaron treats it as a positive-sum signal rather than a victory lapWhy "what makes a good quantum problem" remains the most important question in the field, and how KPMG's client base shapes their answerThe seven-step Q-PREP framework for post-quantum cryptography readiness, and why step one — knowing what you actually have — is the hardest stepHow data-centric thinking (not cryptography-centric thinking) reframes the PQC migration challengeWhy the quiet in enterprise research publications from major financial institutions may itself be a market signalThe talent bottleneck: ~16,500 quantum researchers on the planet against a coming wave of enterprise demandHow AI tooling is compressing quantum research timelines, and what that means for who can enter the fieldWhy the compute stack of the next decade will be heterogeneous — quantum, neuromorphic, thermodynamic, and mechanical computing all coexistingResources & LinksGuest & OrganizationDr. Aaron Kemp — KPMG People Profile — Official bio covering Aaron's DoD/classified cybersecurity background and current role as US Quantum Leader.Papers & ResearcharXiv:2602.18350 — Quantum-enhanced satellite image classification — The peer-reviewed KPMG/Kipu Quantum/IBM paper Aaron co-authored, demonstrating hybrid quantum-classical accuracy gains on IBM processors.From Theory to Impact: Real-World Results in Quantum Machine Learning — KPMG's editorial summary of the satellite imagery research, framed for enterprise readers.From Theory to Impact — Full Technical Report (PDF) — The detailed technical companion walking through the hybrid pipeline step by step.PQC & Enterprise FrameworksQ-PREP: Seven Steps to Post-Quantum Cryptography Readiness (PDF) — KPMG's prescriptive PQC migration framework, with Aaron as lead author.The Quantum Threat Is No Longer Theoretical (PDF) — Aaron's board-level brief on Q-Day urgency.Prepare Now for Quantum Cyber Risk (KPMG Board Leadership Center) — Aaron's article for corporate directors, originally in NACD Directorship Online.Related Coverage & CommentaryKipu Quantum: Quantum-Enhanced AI Deployable in Production — Announcement of the production framework that removes quantum hardware from the inference loop; Aaron quoted as enterprise champion.KPMG's Seven Steps Build Quantum Resilience for Businesses (Quantum Zeitgeist) — Third-party coverage of Q-PREP.A Framework Can Tell You What to Do. It Cannot Tell You What You Have. (Qtonic Substack) — A critical response arguing that advisory frameworks don't solve the underlying cryptographic inventory problem — useful counterpoint reading.Key Quotes & InsightsOn the 3% accuracy gain: "It's a positive game… we did a 12–15 week sprint, and to at least meet classical was our goal when we started. So when we actually did get three percent, it was repeatable. That was, to me, okay — there's something there."On the real PQC problem: "We don't have a cryptographic problem. We have a data problem. None of these organizations know where their data flows."On cybersecurity as a discipline: "Cybersecurity is probably the worst career field ever because perfect cybersecurity has no ROI — because nothing happens."On enterprise timing: Insight: Aaron frames the quiet in financial services quantum research publications as a market signal — organizations may have stopped sharing because they're moving from research toward competitive advantage.On the talent gap: "There's 16,500 quantum researchers on the planet… Fortune 200 will hire 16,000." A single tier of enterprise demand could exhaust the global talent pool.Related EpisodesEpisode 14: A Hybrid NISQ-Classical Solution Architecture with Harry Buhrman — Foundational thinking on hybrid quantum-classical architectures relevant to the Kipu/KPMG/IBM approach.Episode 38: Quantum Machine Learning with Jessica Pointing — A rigorous look at the tradeoffs and open questions in QML that frame Aaron's satellite imagery results.Episode 81: Quantum LDPC error correction with Larry Cohen and Paul Webster — Directly relevant to the compressing resource estimates for breaking RSA that shape PQC urgency.Episode 86: Quantum Advantage Achieved with Dominik Hangleiter — A theorist's careful framing of what advantage claims should and shouldn't mean.Episode 40: Integrating Quantum Computers and Classical Supercomputers with Martin Schultz — Useful context on the heterogeneous compute future Aaron and Sebastian discuss at the end of the episode.Stay in the EcosystemSubscribe on

July 19, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode is a sermon-style message built around the anecdote of theologian Karl Barth and the children's hymn "Jesus Loves Me," using that simple confession as the gateway to seven central biblical convictions. Hiram examines why the Bible is trustworthy, how its claims shape faith and life, and what a believer's response should look like in a changing culture. The talk surveys evidence Hiram believes points to the Bible's divine authenticity—its claim to inspiration, supernatural knowledge, high moral ethic, predictive prophecy, and internal unity—and cites passages including 2 Timothy 3:16-17, Genesis 1, Isaiah 44–45, Psalm 119, and John 10:35 as anchors for those claims. Listeners are led through seven practical, closely argued points: 1) truth doesn't change; 2) sin is deadly; 3) there is hope; 4) salvation is by grace through faith; 5) worship must be in spirit and in truth; 6) eternity matters most; and 7) faithfulness is required. Each point is illustrated with New Testament and Old Testament passages (e.g., Romans, Matthew, Titus, John, Hebrews) and everyday metaphors to make the implications clear. Hiram moves from doctrine to application: read and test Scripture honestly, respond to God in repentance and saving faith, be baptized (Acts 2:38; Titus 3), worship God with the right heart and according to Scripture (John 4; Colossians 3), and pursue a lifetime of faithful discipleship. The message includes an invitation for listeners who want help responding biblically—prayer, guidance, and practical assistance are offered. There are no outside guests; this is a direct, pastoral exposition designed to inform, encourage, and challenge. Expect clear biblical teaching, numerous scripture references, pastoral exhortation, and an urgent call to trust the Bible as the foundation for belief and life: “The Bible tells me so.” Duration 33:19

July 19, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode walks through Acts chapters 13–15 and examines the recurring challenges every church faces. Using the Antioch congregation as the starting point, Hiram traces the Holy Spirit's call to set apart Barnabas and Saul (Paul) for mission work, highlights the church's diversity and gifted leadership (Barnabas, Simeon/Niger, Lucius of Cyrene, Manaen, John Mark), and outlines practical principles for stewarding congregational gifts: learn people's abilities, diversify service, avoid comfort, and be willing to send leaders to advance the gospel. The message then addresses opposition from false teachers and religious authorities — illustrated by Elymas/Bar‑Jesus and the proconsul Sergius Paulus — including Paul's Spirit‑empowered rebuke and the tactics for countering error: know and preach the truth, call out destructive teaching when necessary, protect seekers, and hold out hope for those ensnared by falsehoods. The class also covers preacheritis (the tendency to idolize preachers), with the Lystra miracle as a case study and concrete signs and remedies (acknowledge gifts without pledging allegiance, point people to God, and prevent idolatry). Finally, the episode confronts legalism and internal disagreement (the Antioch controversy over circumcision and the Paul–Barnabas split), offering responses such as sound reasoning, firm but generous directives for new believers, trusting God's sufficiency, and recognizing that conscientious disagreement can expand the work rather than destroy it. Throughout, the speaker ties each biblical episode to contemporary application for congregations: how to manage talent, respond to false teaching, evangelize religious people, resist pride and envy, and keep unity of mission amid differences.   Duration 44:42

Georgia Primary Day: Turnout Surges, Sports Betting Money Floods the State, and Kemp Signs a Major Elections Bill | Where The Party At? Podcast Primary Election Day is here in Georgia, and in this episode of Where The Party At?, Eldredge and Saba break down the latest turnout numbers, the massive influence of sports betting money in state politics, Governor Brian Kemp's controversial elections bill, and whether Donald Trump can continue his winning streak in Republican primaries. More than one million Georgians cast ballots during early voting a 19% increase over the 2022 midterm primary. But who's actually voting, and what does it tell us about the races ahead? We also unpack how a super PAC funded by major sportsbooks like DraftKings and FanDuel has spent over $10 million in Georgia legislative races, all in an effort to legalize sports betting. Plus: Governor Kemp signs HB 369, which will make many local elections nonpartisan in five metro Atlanta counties. Democratic district attorneys, including Fani Willis and Sherry Boston, prepare to challenge the law in court. Trump tests his influence in Indiana, Louisiana, and Kentucky. Mike Johnson defends congressional stock trading. We celebrate the record number of early voters who showed up to make their voices heard. Topics Covered Georgia Primary Election Turnout Over 1 million Georgians voted early, up 19% from 2022. Democrats accounted for 56.7% of early voters, compared to 41.7% for Republicans. Voters aged 65+ still dominate turnout, but their share dropped from 57% to 50.4%. Nearly 78% of early voters ages 18–29 did not vote in the 2022 primary, signaling major new participation. Sports Betting PAC Spending Sports betting companies formed the “Win for America” PAC. DraftKings, FanDuel, Fanatics, and Bet365 have poured more than $10.3 million into Georgia legislative races. Polls show 63% of Georgians support legalized sports betting, and nearly 80% want a statewide referendum. Kemp Signs HB 369 Starting in 2028, local elections in Fulton, DeKalb, Gwinnett, Cobb, and Clayton counties will become nonpartisan. WE WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!

July 12, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class This episode is a recorded Bible class covering Acts chapters 10–12. Hiram leads the class through three chapters as they examine the recurring challenges the early church faced: welcoming Gentiles, resolving cultural and religious barriers, and stabilizing growing congregations. Key passages include the conversion of Cornelius, Peter's rooftop vision, the Gentile Pentecost in Cornelius's house, the church's response in Jerusalem, the growth of the church in Antioch, and the persecution and deliverance recorded in Acts 12. The class traces the goal of Acts (Acts 1:8) — to establish and preach the gospel to Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, and the ends of the earth — and evaluates how the early church advanced that mission up through chapter 9. The instructor then details the central challenge in Acts 10–11: how Jews and Gentiles are brought together. The episode examines Cornelius as a ‘God‑fearer,' his moral life and prayers, why divine confirmation was needed, and why moral religiosity is not the same as salvation in Christ. The session walks through Peter's vision of the sheet of animals, his initial resistance rooted in Levitical food laws and cultural heritage, and how both Cornelius and Peter required divine revelation to accept Gentile inclusion. Listeners hear the account of the Holy Spirit falling on Cornelius's household (a Gentile Pentecost), the subsequent baptisms, and the debate in Jerusalem that forced Peter to explain his actions publicly in Acts 11. Attention shifts to Antioch, where the gospel advances among Greeks and other non‑Jewish peoples. The class highlights Barnabas's role in stabilizing that congregation, his bringing Saul (Paul) to help, and the importance of strengthening local churches — emphasizing the principle that one cannot evangelize the world faster than local congregations can be established and stabilized. The episode also surveys Acts 12: the arrest and execution of James, Peter's miraculous deliverance, the congregation's mixed response of doubt and praise, and the lesson that persecution, political opposition, and leadership losses do not stop the spread of God's Word when believers cooperate with it. Practical takeaways for modern listeners are emphasized throughout: acknowledge the spiritual good in seekers, show they aren't far from the kingdom, push for an encounter with Scripture, use the gospel as the neutralizing standard, refuse favoritism or second‑class treatment, strengthen bonds quickly after conversion, listen to God's leading, and invest in stabilizing local churches as the foundation for wider evangelism. The episode is driven by classroom dialogue between the teacher and participants and offers both exegetical insight and applicable pastoral guidance for welcoming diverse converts today.   Duration 44:08

July 12, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon This episode is a sermon-length reflection on trusting God, using vivid real-world examples and biblical teaching to show how faith should shape every area of life. Hiram opens with familiar figures—Ben Carson, Chesley Sullenberger, Nick Saban and educator Jaime Escalante—to illustrate why experience earns trust, then challenges listeners to place the same confidence in God, who is eternal and never fails. The episode walks through seven specific areas where Christians should entrust themselves to God: 1) leave vengeance to God and trust Him to repay the wicked (Deuteronomy 32, Romans 12); 2) pray and rely on God for daily provision, illustrated by Exodus 16 and Matthew 6; 3) believe that God works all things together for good and adopt a "rearview" theology that sees God's purposes in hindsight (Romans 8:28, Joseph and David examples); 4) trust in God's full forgiveness through the New Covenant (Hebrews 8, Jeremiah 31, 1 John); 5) allow God to direct your path by trusting rather than leaning on your own understanding (Proverbs 3:5–6); 6) have confidence that God will preserve the church (Daniel 2, Matthew 16); and 7) rest in God's promise to save you in the end (Isaiah, 1 John, 2 Timothy). Along the way the sermon emphasizes practical implications—stop seeking personal revenge, pray the Lord's Prayer for daily bread, give generously because God owns all, trade anxiety for peace by trusting God's providence, and respond in repentance and baptism if you haven't yet obeyed the gospel (Acts 2:38). Scriptural references are woven throughout to support each point, and the message closes with an invitation to respond and an encouragement that God's faithful, providential care allows believers to live a life of relief and assurance.   Duration 34:47

This latest installment of the collaborative series between Fong and Kemp zeroes in on the claim made by right wing media types that racism and bigotry are dead in America, and that white are the only Americans who don't see color. Fong and Kemp challenge these myths and discuss how white fragility frequently makes it impossible to get them to reexamine their myths and become more empathetic towards people who aren't like them.

Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp only has a few months left in the statehouse before the Republican's second term comes to an end, and he's hoping to land a couple more big investments before he departs. Those would be on top of the major electric vehicle manufacturing plants that have sprouted up – and one of the biggest buildouts of data centers in the country. POLITICO's Arianna Skibell talks to Kemp about his legacy changing shape of Georgia's power economy.

June 28, 2026 - Sunday AM Sermon   In this sermon-style episode Hiram walks through Mark 14–15 and the life of Barabbas to show how the Gospel confronts each listener personally. Using the betrayal, Jewish trials (Annas, Caiaphas), and Jesus' appearance before Pilate as the backdrop, the sermon explains why the crowd demanded Barabbas instead of Jesus and how envy and deception drove that choice. Hiram outlines three clear parallels between Barabbas and every person: (1) we are guilty and condemned (drawing on Mark, Matthew, Luke, John, Psalm 51, Romans), (2) the world lies to us and deceives us about what will truly satisfy (referencing Genesis, 1 John, Hebrews, and cultural examples), and (3) Jesus steps into our place—taking the punishment we deserve so we might be offered forgiveness and new life (explained with Luke 23, 2 Corinthians, Isaiah 53, and other texts). The episode surveys many biblical cross-references (Isaiah, Psalms, Romans, Galatians, Hebrews, John, 1 Peter) and contemporary illustrations—like Project Innocence and modern cultural temptations—to show the timelessness of the message. The preacher emphasizes self-examination, the danger of rationalizing sin, and the need to see ourselves in Barabbas rather than only in the crowd condemning him. Key takeaways: honest confession of guilt, awareness of worldly deception, and the central Christian claim that Jesus took our place on the cross. The episode closes with a pastoral invitation to respond—repentance, confession of Christ, baptism, and pastoral support for those struggling with sin. Guests: none.   Duration 28:57

June 28, 2026 - Sunday PM Service   Join Cumberland Trace's monthly Q&A with Hiram and Neil as they answer submitted scripture questions from listeners. This episode walks through a wide range of biblical topics with pastoral clarity and practical application, focusing on what the Bible teaches and how it matters for Christians today. They begin with an extended look at 1 Corinthians 12–14, explaining the threefold treatment of spiritual gifts: the diversity and unity of gifts in chapter 12, the supremacy of love in chapter 13, and the priority of edification and orderly worship (prophecy over tongues) in chapter 14. The hosts explain why the miraculous gifts were limited to the first-century situation (1 Cor. 13:10; apostolic laying on of hands; Hebrews 2) and draw practical takeaways: use your God-given abilities to build the church, not to exalt yourself; worship must be decent and in order; pursue love above spectacular signs. Next they address Acts 2:38 and the “gift of the Holy Spirit,” arguing that the promise is the indwelling Spirit given to all who repent and are baptized. They cite New Testament passages (Romans 8; 1 Corinthians; Ephesians) to show the Spirit as God's seal, down payment, inner strength, and divine helper who intercedes for believers. The conversation turns to God's omniscience and human freedom: though God knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46; Psalm 139), biblical teaching affirms real moral choice. Predestination language (Eph. 1; Rom. 8) coexists with repeated calls to choose, repent, and live faithfully; God's foreknowledge is presented as comfort and assurance, not a reason for fatalism. On 2 Thessalonians 2:1–12 they unpack the “man of lawlessness,” offering both historical and broader interpretive options (first-century contexts including A.D. 70 and the long-term picture of apostasy). The key pastoral point: whether specific identifications vary, the Bible warns about delusion for those who refuse the truth, so Christians must love truth, resist easy or attractive falsehoods, and avoid obsessive end-times speculation. They tackle whether Satan can hear our thoughts and prayers with nuance: audible prayers and visible behavior can be observed by demonic forces, but only God searches and knows hearts and hidden thoughts. Satan can tempt and suggest but cannot read minds or nullify God's sovereign purposes; believers are encouraged to pray with confidence according to God's will (1 John 5; Job; 1 Cor. 2). Hard Old Testament questions are addressed—how to reconcile Proverbs' condemnation of shedding innocent blood with God's command against the Amalekites (1 Sam. 15) and the teaching of Ezekiel 18. The hosts distinguish human sin from divine, judicial acts: some biblical commands are divine judgments and “devoted” destruction in the context of covenant history; consequences can fall across generations without implying imputed eternal guilt for children. They also discuss Christology (eternal sonship): Jesus is eternally divine and co-equal with the Father, but the title “Son” functions as the messianic/relational designation applied in the incarnation. Scriptural references (John 1; Colossians 1; Hebrews 1; Galatians 4) are used to balance Jesus' eternality and the historical reality of the Son sent in the fullness of time. On parenting and spiritual accountability they explain that parents bear primary responsibility for training and spiritual oversight while children are under their roof. When children become adults they become free moral agents; parents continue to influence by example and prayer but do not remain spiritually accountable in the same way once children leave the household. Finally, the hosts consider the “angel of the Lord” in the Old Testament, noting that the phrase sometimes denotes a unique theophanic figure who speaks and acts as God (examples include the burning bush, Jacob's wrestling, and other appearances). They present the view that many such appearances function as pre-incarnate manifestations of Christ distinct from ordinary angels, while reminding listeners that Hebrews affirms that God's final and full revelation comes in the Son. Expect careful exegesis, historical perspective, and application: how the text shaped first-century practice, why certain gifts and signs were temporary, how divine sovereignty and human responsibility work together, and what believers should do—love truth, serve the church, live in order, and hold fast to Jesus. Hosts Hiram and Neil close by encouraging listeners to respond to the gospel if needed, to pursue godliness, and to continue wrestling honestly with difficult biblical questions.   Duration 51:24

1203. In this bonus discussion with Dr. Charles Kemp, we look at why the Chinese writing system has actually become visually more complex over thousands of years. Dr. Kemp explains how his team used "perimetric complexity" to measure characters and why the need for distinctiveness in a growing vocabulary overrides the natural drive for simplicity.

The Holy Spirit speaks of His creation and service to God by James A Kemp https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GPRH2QS2 The author of this book is a common, not a Biblical scholar, but a man who yielded to the Holy Spirit to summarize the Bible stories for God’s people who worship his great son, Jesus Christ. It was difficult for him to write, and the Holy Spirit has been a diving force to finish this book with its constant monitoring, correcting, and advising of the content. Its purpose is to make the Bible easier to understand and to reveal the beginning of God and his kingdom before Earth. This volume begins with information provided by the Holy Spirit and provides background information on how Our God came about among many other gods in the universe. Then it goes on to explain and summarize the books of the Old and New Testament, making the many stories easier to understand for the layperson. James A. Kemp is 83 years old. He spent 25 years in law enforcement. Also, he has been a pilot for the last twenty years, a 100-ton boat captain for over thirty, and a certified wreck diver for forty years. He is happy to say he has had a full life. Kemp has been near death many times over his life, but was spared to write this book, even though he did not know that then. He has only a limited college education and no writing experience other than writing police reports.

June 21, 2026 - Sunday AM Bible Class In this episode we continue a study through the book of Acts, picking up where Neal left off in Acts 2 and working through Acts chapters 3–5. The class examines the healing at the Beautiful Gate performed by Peter and John, Luke's pattern of miracle → amazement → preaching → response, and the immediate challenges the early church faces after an apparent season of success. Listeners will hear a close reading of Acts 3 (the lame man healed and his response) and Acts 4–5 summarized, with attention to the apostles' sermon, the reaction of religious leaders (the Sadducees and the high priestly party), and the first trials and arrests. The episode highlights how revival often invites testing: why God allows difficulty after growth, whether for testing, discipline, or to refocus the mission of the church. The conversation identifies four central challenges from these chapters: giving God the glory (avoiding event- or personality-centered faith), speaking the truth when threatened (Peter and John's courage before the rulers and their prayer for boldness), practicing what you preach (the believers' radical sharing and Barnabas's example), and confronting hypocrisy through church discipline (the Ananias and Sapphira episode and its implications). Key takeaways include the apostles' method of pointing every miracle back to Jesus, relying on scripture and community for courage, the power of unified prayer, and the surprising result that faithful obedience and boldness produced growth rather than collapse. The episode draws practical application for 2026: how to face religious pressure today, the need to speak truth in love, to remain tactful yet bold, and to sustain internal holiness amid opposition. The discussion features the teaching leader alongside contributions from class participants, offering an interactive classroom-style exploration of the text and its pastoral implications. Duration 43:58

June 21, 2026 - Sunday PM Sermon This episode is a sermon on countering selfishness and learning to live for Jesus rather than for ourselves. Hiram opens with memorable animal examples—domestic cats and cuckoo birds as illustrations of natural, survival-driven self-interest, contrasted with worker bees as models of sacrificial service—and uses those images to introduce a biblical call to self-denial and Christian service. This is a pastor-led message rooted in Scripture and practical application. Key topics include: the biblical meaning of denying oneself (Mark 8:34; Luke 9:24), how Christianity must be more than a personal accessory or status, and the congregation's annual theme of "shining our light through Christian service" (Mark 10:42–45). The speaker highlights scriptural anchors throughout (Hebrews 12:2; John 1:29; 2 Corinthians 4:6; Philippians 2; Matthew 25:31–40; Jeremiah 45:5; 1 John 3:16) to show why looking to Christ—not to ourselves—is the first step toward faithful living. The sermon lays out three practical steps for living for Jesus: (1) look at Jesus more than you look at yourself—exchange self-focused gaze for Christ-focused devotion; (2) take a genuine interest in other people—move from self-absorption to investing in others' spiritual and practical needs; and (3) serve the least of these—follow Christ's example by offering sacrificial help to the hungry, hurting, and marginalized. Anecdotes and Scripture are used to contrast selfish instincts with Christlike service, and to encourage a community shaped by sacrificial love. The message closes with an invitation to respond—whether to begin following Christ, obey the gospel, or receive prayer—and with a song of encouragement as people stand. Hiram emphasizes that Jesus has already poured out his life for us and that our Christian life is meant to be poured out for others. Devotional thought: This week, practice trading one self-focused thought each day for ten thoughts of Christ—look to his life and grace, ask how you can serve one person well, and let small acts of sacrificial love become your way of shining God's light in a world that so often chooses itself.   Duration 9:08

I always value the opportunity to speak with my friend, Colonel Richard Kemp, whose decades of military leadership and firsthand experience in global conflicts give him extraordinary insight into the threats facing Israel and the entire freedom-loving world.In this important interview, Col. Kemp analyzes the Iran situation, Israel's military achievements, the danger of allowing the Islamic Republic time to rebuild, and what must happen next to ensure that Iran can never again threaten Israel with nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and its global network of terrorist proxies.This conversation took place shortly before Iran attacked ships, violating the memorandum of understanding and triggering a dramatic response from President Donald Trump. Following Iran's aggression, Trump announced that the memorandum was effectively finished and that the ceasefire was over, as the United States renewed its attacks on Iranian targets.That sequence of events only makes Col. Kemp's analysis more relevant.Iran has repeatedly demonstrated that it does not view negotiations, ceasefires, or international agreements as paths toward peace. The regime uses diplomacy to gain time, rebuild its military capabilities, strengthen its terrorist networks, and prepare for the next round of aggression.The central question has never been whether the Islamic Republic of Iran can be trusted. It cannot.The real questions are: Will President Trump continue enforcing consequences? Will the United States stand firmly behind Israel? And will Israel be given the freedom to finish the job if the Iranian regime continues rebuilding its nuclear and military capabilities?Watch this essential conversation for a clear-eyed assessment of Iran, Israel's security, President Trump's latest moves, and what may come next.Iran is weakened but the threat is not over.Join Our Whatsapp Channel: https://chat.whatsapp.com/GkavRznXy731nxxRyptCMvFollow us on Twitter: https://x.com/AviAbelowJoin our Telegram Channel: https://t.me/aviabelowpulseFollow us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/pulse_of_israel/?hl=enPulse of Israel on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/IsraelVideoNetworkVisit Our Website - https://pulseofisrael.com/Donate to Pulse of Israel: https://pulseofisrael.com/boost-this-video/

In this episode, Prassède Kemp, founder of Numinous, joins us to talk about strategic marketing for small business owners, solopreneurs, and founders who are ready to stop guessing and start growing with intention. Prassède opens with a foundational reframe: marketing is not the same as sales, and understanding the difference is key to building a system that works for you. She introduces a strengths-based approach to choosing your marketing channels, encouraging business owners to consider their natural abilities, available time, and barriers to action before committing to any platform or strategy. From there, the conversation digs into the three pillars of her marketing system: email marketing, social media, and blogging. Prassède makes a compelling case for email as one of the most underrated and highest-converting tools available, sharing her newsletter formula and breaking down the types of emails every business should have in rotation. On social media, she challenges the pressure to post constantly, explaining that for most businesses, the real job of social media is validation, not virality. She closes with a practical breakdown of blogging as a long-form content engine that feeds every other channel, and leaves listeners with one clear piece of advice: choose the one thing you can commit to consistently, get great at it, and build from there.

If you want to know how to improve cognitive function, you probably already know the basics. You need to eat well, get regular sleep, exercise consistently and maintain social connections. That last point hits me hard because as someone who has taught memory improvement for fifteen years, I recently moved away from all my friends. And I’m definitely feeling the impact of that decision. And we’re all facing the consequences of the decisions we make because everything influences the quality of our minds. So if you’d like to know what I’m personally doing to maintain focus as I age while leading an unusually isolated life, today I’m sharing my research and experiences. It’s a bit unique because I’m the author of multiple memory improvement books, an independent memory researcher and someone with a reputation to maintain in the field of mental performance. And since we all need to preserve our reputations, how I’m tackling my own concentration, memory and focus challenges might help you along your own journey. Let me share this proclamation loud and clear as we begin: Tackling challenges to my own concentration and focus is my passion. And it has to be a passion and a mission because I intend to enjoy a very focused mind with strong recall abilities for as long as I possibly can. Ready to explore some of the best, science-backed strategies that are helping me? Let’s dive in! What Is Cognitive Function? And How Does It Relate To Memory? “Cognitive function” is a term used in a variety of fields, from memory science to Jungian psychology. For Carl Jung, cognition boiled down to how your mind processes and experiences emotional feeling, intuition, a variety of sensations and thought. When it comes to memory in the realm of learning, cognitive function specifically refers to: Attention and how you focus on information like hearing someone’s name Working memory so you can temporarily hold an instruction or phone number in mind Long-term memory for accessing facts like names and locations Processing speed for thinking efficiently Executive functions like planning or switching between tasks Holding focus during conversations or while studying Speaking languages Navigating a variety of places Most importantly, cognitive function governs how we use memory techniques to remember things, specifically information related to data like numbers and information related to our professional work and studies. Why Cognitive Function Slips (According To Science) First things first: If you’re concerned about your memory, please see a doctor. Or, if you’re concerned for a loved one, assist them in doing so. Generally, the reason most of us have issues is because we distract ourselves with multitasking. Good recall begins with paying attention. But far too often we clutter our lives with social media, creating digital amnesia. This is a term that literally refers to Internet-induced forgetting. The good news is that we can improve. Like focusing on diet, exercise, sleep and socializing, paying attention is a behavior. This was a point made by memory expert David Berglas in A Question of Memory. He’s worth listening to because his memory stayed sharp up until a very old age indeed. How do you turn paying attention into a behavior? Start making an effort to remember names, for one thing. Yesterday at the bank I did just that, and the clerk delighted in covering up her name tag to test me several times. You can also engage in activities like memorizing scripture. Or other forms of long-form verbatim memorization, like poetry. For an inspiring outcome from one of my students who was recovering from cardiac arrest, check out the memory improvement case study and scripture demonstration provided by Matt Barclay. There are a few more activities to consider that I’ll cover below, but let’s look at what happens to our brain cells next. It will provide more context to this mission-critical aspect of our mental lives and why maintaining memory is so valuable throughout life. Cellular Aging Judith Campisi was a pioneer in the field of cellular senescence. As one of her papers described this term, cellular senescence is “when bad things happen to good cells.” It’s bad no matter where it happens in the body. But there are two ways it can affect memory: Reducing the functioning of your brain cells Creating pain and stress that distract you and reduce focus If you find yourself dealing with cellular senescence, diet might help improve your cognition. This study found that adopting a ketogenic diet improved memory in aging mice. Anecdotally, I’ve eaten either an entirely keto or near-keto diet for years. I have to regulary eat yogurt now, and that unfortunately causes some brain fog. But during the years I ate near-totally keto, I was sharper than I ever felt in my life. Genetics We often think that things are just the way that they are. Our genes above all cannot be changed. Assuming this is true now, will it always be the case that we have to just deal with the cards we’ve been dealt in the game of life? Scientists are hard at work answering this question. One interesting study on animals has shown promise with respect to potentially treating neurocognitive deficits with gene therapy. In this case, spatial memory was studied in particular, and treated animals were able to navigate mazes better. In humans, how we use memory to navigate space is only starting to be understood. The science writer Christopher Kemp wrote a lovely book on the topic and shared his findings on this episode of the Magnetic Memory Method Podcast. Although it’s not entirely clear that Kemp’s personal struggles with navigation are genetic in nature, Dark and Magical Places is well worth reading because some scientists have shown a substantial relationship between place cells and memory. I’d be surprised if gene therapies didn’t emerge in the future that improve both spatial and other types of memory, giving them greater longevity in our lives. Environmental Factors One of the hardest things for many of us to change is our environmental conditions. As I mentioned, I moved away from the city and did not anticipate just how out of touch this would put me with my friends. I also did not anticipate that it would be such a challenge to make new ones. It’s critical that I take care of this soon, however. As this study shows, poor social connections are a strong predictor of cognitive decline. Another study found that people with stronger social networks have a lower mortality risk. The catch is that “naturally occurring social” relations are at the core of the benefit. Corny “interventions” by community groups or the recent explosion of rent-a-friend and rental family services don’t show much promise. Quite the opposite, as this Afar story details. If it’s true that people work ten-hour days only to carry on eating and relaxing with their co-workers, that sounds like a very challenging environment to live in. And that’s not to mention the possibility that worries over climate issues are causing anxiety-induced memory loss. If you’re struggling to think clearly and remember, you might want to think about how this kind of environmental issue might be affecting you. Research into eco-anxiety is underway at the Melbourne School of Psychological Sciences and likely to grow in importance as a field of therapy over the years to come. How Memory Improvement Activities Can Improve Your Cognition (Even As You Age) Now that we’ve covered some of the key reasons mental sharpness slips throughout our lives, let’s look at activities that will help restore and improve your cognitive function. Obviously, diet and nutrition for cognitive enhancement are assumed. And again, please consult a doctor for advice that directly addresses your personal situation. Likewise with the following activities. If you have doubts, always run each past a qualified professional before engaging in them. Even though I engage in them myself, critical thinking remains important and I always encourage you to seek at least one professional opinion before taking any action. One: Mindfulness And Meditation I’m a strong proponent of meditation for concentration as a key activity for improving attention and memory. Not only does my book, The Victorious Mind cover much of the key research on the benefits of meditation. I wrote it because combining meditation with memory training helped me in a variety of ways. The key is to understand that there are many forms of meditation to explore. Not just sitting or chanting mantras. For example, benefits of mindfulness on your cognitive function will likely start to flow for you through: Sitting meditation Walking meditation Breathing exercises Journaling for reflective thinking exercise Going on a retreat Practicing mindfulness while eating Yoga for concentration and memory Various practices that can help regulate your dopamine levels Although studies like this one show that meditation can increase your working memory, there’s a catch. As these researchers recommend, meditation routines generally need to be systematized and conducted routinely. I’ve certainly found that my own practices need to be consistent. That’s why I optimize my environment to remind me of my meditation practice. I have my journal always in sight, the place I sit and the book of mantras I’m memorizing from. Two: Have A Purpose As You Age I know it sounds cliche. But the findings of the Rush Memory and Aging Project demonstrate that having a goal linked to purpose is associated with lower incidences of Alzheimer’s Disease and related issues. Interestingly, the study also demonstrated that “purpose in life was also associated with a reduced risk of incident disability and risk of death.” I was fortunate to spend time speaking with the memory experts Tony Buzan and Harry Lorayne. They both were incredibly sharp when I met them, despite being in their seventies and eighties respectively. Why? It was not just the fact that they both engaged in regular memory training. In my view, their strong sense of purpose was a huge part of it. Tony had the World Memory Championship he helped found, along with his work in mind mapping and his polymathic personality. For his part, Lorayne wrote and published books and performed card magic almost until the end. I myself have made teaching as a mnemonist and understanding as much as I can about memory science my purpose. It’s not clear yet that I’ll last as long as they did or make a similar mark. That doesn’t matter nearly as much to me as enjoying the benefits that doing my best in this field brings. So your mission, if you choose to accept it, is to craft your own vision statement and work on your purpose. From there on in, it’s just a matter of consistent execution. If you’d like some help with this piece of the puzzle, check out: My detailed training on crafting a vision statement The mind mapping for my business I did under Tony Buzan’s tutelage Three: Engage in Regular Language Learning Activities Another reason you might suffer cognitive decline stems from not taking on enough challenges that create mental stimulation. Few activities offer more variety and challenge than learning a new language. The problem is that many people cringe at the first sign of challenge. Yet, the challenge itself is what’s so helpful for restoring and maintaining cognitive function! As part of my mission and purpose, I’ve created many tutorials on language learning that will help you. Many of these lessons are geared to reduce the challenges and speed up the process based on my personal experiences with applying memory techniques to language acquisition. But that’s not to remove challenges altogether. In many ways, it’s more about keeping the challenges fun and eliminating the boredom of rote learning. Quick Memory-Based Exercises That Restore Concentration We’ve just covered three areas of activity to engage in over the long-term. They’re not quick fixes, but tactics and strategies to explore across a lifetime. What about things you can do within a few minutes a day and get some benefit? Well, as I talk about here, completely crossword puzzles likely isn’t one of them (though they can be fun). It also isn’t fiddling with online brain games (which have been shown not to work very well). Instead, give these quick activities a try. Four: Repeat Conversations Silently In Your Mind I don’t know about you, but sometimes I get caught up in thinking about what I’m going to say next instead of focusing my mind on my conversation partner’s exact words. To combat this, years ago I started repeating what people were telling me in my mind. Memory expert Jim Samuels teaches something similar in his book, Re-Mind Yourself. It’s a quick exercise that focuses your mind and leads to remembering more from conversations. You can also practice this repetition game while listening to podcasts or watching movies. It’s powerful. Five: Kirtan Kriya According to the Alzheimer’s Research & Prevention Foundation, just twelve minutes a day with this ancient concentration technique helps improve your memory while reducing stress. Dr. Gary Weber teaches it in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ehvokeZnXMM I’ve practiced it for years and it really helps. Usually I combine it with my walking meditation sessions. Six: Incorporate Mnemonics Into Your Daily Life Although it takes a bit of setup, applying mnemonics to everyday learning tasks is easy. You can use them to remember appointments, where you parked and your shopping list. Every time you do, you’re getting in a bit of cognitive exercise. Seven: Listen Like An Audiophile Music has become ubiquitous in our society. You almost can’t go anywhere without hearing it. But that doesn’t mean it has to be background noise. Pay attention deeply to the rhythms you hear. Repeat the melody in your mind. When I do this, I find that my irritation with music I don’t want to hear goes away. Even better, it connects me more deeply with music itself. And studies like this have shown that music is linked to memory in a variety of ways, including episodic memory, semantic memory and explicit and implicit memory. Just by listening to music in a serious way, you’re giving your memory a huge workout. On another level, I try daily to listen seriously to music I’ve never heard before. Luckily, there are bloggers and vloggers who share their most recent acquisitions. Within seconds, I have them playing on Bandcamp or YouTube. Then, the steps are simple: Close your eyes Listen deeply Imagine the different instruments (even if you don’t know what they are) Call back melodies later in the day to exercise your recall abilities For an extra boost, read biographies about musicians. Go through their music in historical order. Read the assessments of professional critics about them during their era. This simple act contextualizes the music and exercises your brain’s unique ability to make connections and expand with new learning. If music isn’t your interest, you can do something similar by looking at and recalling art. Or even going to indoor or outdoor art galleries. I’ve got a whole tutorial on how to use art galleries as part of your lifelong memory improvement journey. One simple exercise is to just think back to a painting or sculpture you’ve seen. In the feature image above, I’m standing under a sculpture in Brisbane, and I’ve combined it with the music exercise. I just asked what it reminded me of and thought instantly of the Canadian band Voivod, which I know from my reading has a relationship to Metallica. Since the sculpture looks like a big M, I then turned it into a kind of virtual Memory Palace, a final type of mental exercise we’ll discuss briefly next. Improving Cognitive Function Can Be Easy & Fun As you’ve seen, there are simple ways to combat cognitive decline. The trick is putting aside the time and being consistent about the activities. I’ve shared some of the strategies I’m using to keep my brain sharp, and you’re welcome to explore even more. Keep in mind that consistency is helped by a variety of cognitive activities, not getting stuck in just one or two. There are also benefits to be had by rotating between several, especially those where learning is involved. This is shown by the principle scientists call interleaving. But you know, my favorite tactic of all is to use my memory in a variety of ways. And for that, I like to have multiple Memory Palaces. These mnemonic tools are very old and really fun to use. To learn more about how to incorporate them in your quest to improve your cognitive function, get my free memory improvement course: It will give your brain a workout with four free videos and some worksheets you can complete. If some of the steps you discover in that course present a challenge, now you know that this is a good thing. Lean into it and enjoy the results that taking on challenges brings to the long-term sharpness of your mind.

On today's live edition of Political Breakfast, we're addressing a surprise move during a special session called by Governor Brian Kemp. The plan was to redraw Georgia's congressional and state legislative districts. That's in response to a recent U.S. Supreme Court ruling that gutted a key portion in the Voting Rights Act on redistricting.Now critics say Republican-held states across the South could likely redraw their maps and put seats typically held by Democrats at risk. But yesterday, Republican House leaders wrote a letter to Kemp, and decided that changes to the maps will not happen this summer during the session. They cite the changes should only happen after a deliberative process, providing the public enough time for input. Democrats are celebrating the news. Democratic strategist Tharon Johnson is one of them. He, Republican strategist Brian Robinson and host Lisa Rayam break down the news.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Kimmer & Pete questions why Governor Brian Kemp and Burt Jones have yet to publicly rally behind the nominee. Is this just a delay, or does it reveal deeper fractures within the Georgia Republican Party? With Keisha Lance Bottoms waiting in the wings, can Republicans unite and build momentum, or are they repeating past mistakes?See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

On episode 133 of Native Land Pod, hosts Angela Rye, Andrew Gillum, and Bakari Sellers ask: if Democrats get the majority after this year’s midterms, then what? We’ve seen Democrats win the senate, the house, and the presidency––and they still couldn’t protect the right to vote (or get an abortion) from future Republican administrations. In this midterms, what will we get for our vote? We need an agenda. Folks are saying that Texas senate candidate James Talarico has the best chance to flip a Texas senate seat blue in decades, with his opponent, Ken Paxton, covered in scandals. Our hosts are less optimistic and have some advice for Mr. Talarico… FOR YOUR SITUATIONAL AWARENESS: Some good news in the ongoing redistricting wars in South Carolina & Alabama, where proposed maps benefiting Republicans have been blocked. Meanwhile, in Florida, a new electoral map moves forward… GA State Senator Rashaun Kemp has called on Georgians to protest redistricting in Georgia at the World Cup game. STAY UPDATED by following Sen. Kemp: https://www.instagram.com/rashaunforgeorgia/?hl=en The Supreme Court has allowed coach Brian Flores to sue the NFL for discriminating against Black coaches. Mike Duggan has dropped out of the Michigan governor race. The independent candidate and former Detroit Mayor said he “got into this race to change our politics, not to be a spoiler.” Texas congressman Al Green has lost his primary race to fellow Democratic congressman Christian Menefee, after Texas’ redistricting combined his and Menefee’s districts into one.
