If you will grab a Bible and go to 2 Samuel, chapter 21. We've been working our way through 1 and 2 Samuel and we have reached what commentators call the epilogue of 2 Samuel that the main story has ended.And in the final four chapters, we're going to be in chapter 21. In the final four chapters, we're going to have six pictures that are kind of closing pictures on the kingship of David. And they are not in chronological order. They are in a thematic order. And they're meant to kind of sum up the picture of David for us.The actual story of David's death and Solomon becoming king, that doesn't happen until 1 Kings. You got to work all the way through into 1 Kings for that to kind of to pick up there. So, what this is is almost like the movie's ended, the end credits are rolling, and then it's cutting to different scenes or showing you different pictures of things to try to kind of give you the last picture that it wants you to have of King David. And so, we're going to see two of those pictures today. Now, I heard one pastor put it this way in regards to this text.It's not difficult to understand, but there are aspects of it that are difficult to accept. And so, we're going to go through this text that has some difficulties in it for us. Our hope is to understand why it's here. What was the author trying to tell the people in the original the original hearers? What how would they have understood this?What are we trying to see about David? And then as from our standpoint, what should we do with a text like this? And how do we understand this kind of text? And so hopefully we'll be edified by it, pointed towards Jesus in it. But let's pray and then we'll jump in.Lord, we ask for your mercy. We ask for your grace. and we ask that we would honor you well in the reading and the studying of your word and in submission to it. May your spirit be at work and help us to love Jesus more in Jesus name. Amen.Chapter 21 verse one. Now there was a famine in the days of David for three years year after year and David sought the face of the Lord. Okay, so famine in this region is not uncommon, but three years of it is is getting bad. And we're told that David starts asking the Lord. We don't know exactly when he began, but he's seeking the Lord to understand what's going on here. it's starting to seem like one of the covenantal curses, which is in the in Deuteronomy and Leviticus, if they don't follow the law, it says that your your crops won't yield their fruit.You you will find that your trees don't produce. And so he's starting to go and ask the Lord, is something going on? What's happening here? And this is what happened. Says David sought the face of the Lord.And the Lord said, there is blood guilt on Saul and on his house because he put the Gibeonites to death. So the king called the Gibeonites and spoke to them. Now the Gibeonites were not of the people of Israel, but of the remnant of the Amorites. Although the people of Israel had sworn to spare them, Saul sought to strike them down in his zeal for the people of Israel and Judah. Now, there are several things we need to consider that are going on right here in this text.One is Saul was the original king. Saul is not king anymore. Saul is dead. But there is guilt on Saul, on Saul's house. This blood guilt on Saul. in Saul's house for something that Saul did and the entire nation is paying for it.There's a famine in the land because of blood guilt. Now, blood guilt is a specific thing in the law that is the shedding of innocent blood. And so, there's blood guilt because Saul led the people to attack the Gibeonites. And it says they weren't the Gibeonites aren't the people of Israel, but the people of Israel had promised to protect them. Now, that going to take a little history lesson.That happens in Joshua chapter 9. So, Joshua is sent in with the people of Israel to take over the land. They're they're marching through. They're supposed to get rid of all the Amorites. Well, the Amorites who live in Gibby find out that they're coming and they think this isn't going to go well.So, they come up with a trick to make it seem like they're from another place. They show up. They meet with the people of Israel and they make a covenant with them. People of Israel shouldn't have made this covenant. They should have consulted the Lord, but they make it.When they find out they've been tricked and that the Gibeonites aren't from a far land, but they're from right here and they're a part of the people group they're supposed to get rid of, the people of Israel are like,"Let's kill them."And Joshua and the elders say,"We can't. We promised that we wouldn't. We co we signed the Lord up in covenant with them that we would not kill them."So we we can't. Then we would make it seem like God is a liar and he is not. And so we have to keep this promise.Well, Saul in his zeal not for the Lord, but for the people of Israel and Judah. So, he's running around going,"Israel, Israel, Judah, Judah, Judah, oi, oi, oi."Stuff like that. He's super zealous for his people. He decides the Gibeonites, who've been here forever, who are a subjugated people, we're just going to kill all of them. And so, this would have been a massacre.These people would not have been, they were surrounded by the people of Israel. They were servants to the people of Israel. they would not have been in a position to defend themselves. And he just starts killing them. That story, this is all we get of that story. There's no place that tells us that anywhere else in the text.And so David says,"Why is there a famine?"And God says,"Saul broke a 400year-old covenant that he was supposed to keep."So there's a couple of things. One is God expects you to keep your promises. We ought to be people who keep our promises. Now, if you want to not make a lot of promises, that's fine. Like, if if today you came over to me and said,"Why haven't you given me $5?You've sinned against me."I might would argue,"No, I haven't. That's not like a thing I have to do. I have not sinned against you."But if I had promised to give you $5 and then didn't give it to you, have I sinned against you? Yes. And have I sinned against the Lord?Yes. So somehow in our agreement, the Lord gets involved. He binds covenants together. Now they specifically had done it in the name of the Lord. But even as we make agreements with one another, we can still sin against God by being the type of people who don't keep up with our end of the agreement.And we'll say things like,"Yeah, but we made that deal like 10 years ago."This was 400 years old, and Saul was meant to keep it.Here's the other thing that's happening in this text. Saul was the representative head for the people of Israel. So as king, he can sin on their behalf and lead them all into sin. He's the representative head of the people of Israel of his family. And so he sins and it spreads.The consequences spread. And David as the representative head of the people of Israel now is going to have to figure it out. That's why it says he calls the Gibeonites. When he finds this out, he's got to fix the problem. Now, we don't think about headship that often, but one of the New Testament pictures we're given, it's Old and New Testament, is that husbands are the head of their family.They're head of their wife. They're the head of the household. So, I want to say to husbands in the room, every problem in your house is your problem. You don't get to say,"Well, that's her thing. Well, she's the one who deals with the kids.Well, she told me she didn't want me to be involved in that, so we'll just see how it goes."That's not how it works. David doesn't get to go,"Well, that was Saul's fault. take it up with Saul. Oh, he's dead. Let's move on. David has to try to figure out this problem because he's the representative head for the people of Israel.So, that's where we are. That's what's happening at this moment in the text. Okay.So, he's called the Gibeonites.Verse three. And David said to the Gibeonites,"What shall I do for you? And how shall I make atonement that you may bless the heritage of the Lord?"There's blood, guilt, there's sin. There needs to be atonement. How can we atone for this sin?That's what he's asking. The Gibeonites said to him,"It is not a matter of silver or gold between us and Saul or his house. Neither is it for us to put any man to death in Israel."And he said,"What do you say that I shall do for you?"So he calls them together and says,"How do we make this right? How do we atone for this?"And they say,"Is it sitting the sort of thing that we can settle out of court? It's not the sort of thing that's not a matter of silver and gold.You can't just pay off this debt with money. And then they say,"And we're not allowed to put people to death. That's not the position that we're in."And then they stop talking. Because what they're saying to him is,"But you can put people to death."So he says,"What do you want me to do for you?"Because there's a blood debt.Verse 5. They said to the king,"The man who consumed us and planned to destroy us so that we should have no place in all the territory of Israel, let seven of his sons be given to us, so that we may hang them before the Lord at Gibeah of Saul, the chosen of the Lord."And the king said,"I will give them."So they said,"We want seven of his sons. He killed us in our place. We want to kill them in his place. in his location. We want to hang them before the Lord as a representative sacrifice.That's what they're going to propose. David says,"We can do that."So, they're going to take these seven sons, seven relatives of Saul because Saul is dead, and they're going to make them pay this blood debt. Now, it's not equal because for Saul to try to eradicate them is basically what they're saying. He tried to wipe us out of here. I seriously doubt he'd only killed seven men.So what they request is representative atonement. And even if it's horrific and gruesome, this idea of rounding these guys up, going to their home, knocking on the door, and saying,"Hey, you're related to Saul. You've got to come. You're going to pay this debt."And having to go kill them publicly, have a public execution. At least the impulse should make some sense to us.If you found out that in North Korea they had overthrown the rule of the Kims and that they had gone into the royal palaces and they had killed every Kim they could find, we go,"Well, that I mean I understand it. I understand that they don't want that household, that family rising up again. I understand that they're trying to make them pay for all that they've done in their um ruling over them and their hardship."It's like we can understand the impulse even if there's parts of it that are revuls repulsive to us. But they asked for seven and David says yes. And then it says this verse 7.But the king spared Mephibosheth the son of Saul's son Jonathan because of the oath of the Lord that was between them between David and Jonathan the son of Saul. Now we don't exactly know when this took place but we know it does seem like it's after Mephibosheth has been found and is apart. Then it says,"The king took the two sons of Rizpah, the daughter of Aiah, whom she bore to Saul, Armoni and Mephibosheth."That's a different Mephibosheth. That's uncle Mephibosheth. And the five sons of Merab, the daughter of Saul, whom she bore to Adriel, the son of Barzillai, the Meholathite.If you remember Barzillai from a couple days ago, the 80-year-old man, that's not him. It's a different Barzillai. So, we got two Mephibosheth, two Barzillai. and he gave them into the hands of the Gibeonites, and they hanged them on the mountain before the Lord, and the seven of them perished together. They were put to death in the first days of the harvest at the beginning of the barley harvest. Now, this would have been a scant barley harvest or a non-existent barley harvest, but right at the beginning of the barley harvest, in the middle of this famine, which the Gibeonites are also having to deal with the famine, they hang them and put them to death.This next part is very sad. Then Rispa, the daughter of Aiiah, took sackcloth and spread it for herself on the rock from the beginning of the harvest until rain fell upon them from the heavens. Now, the beginning of the harvest is in April. Guaranteed normal rainy season. That's the starting of the dry season.Normal raining season doesn't start till September, October. Rain is almost non-existent during that middle period. It is possible there was some rain that came sooner, but it's also possible she was doing this for months. She did this until rain fell from the heavens and she did not allow the birds of the air to come upon them by day or the beasts of the field by night. So she sets up a vigil.She was not able to save her sons and her nephews from death, but she goes and camps out in front of them. She's not going to let birds pick their eyes out. And she's not going to let beasts come by and eat them. And she sits in front of them while they bake in the sun, while they rot, while they decompose. And she gives them as much honor as she can possibly give them, which is the only thing she knows how to do.It's horrific. But she has two sons and she's not going to let them be dishonored any further than they have to be.Verse 11. When David was told what Rispa, the daughter of Aiah, the concubine of Saul, had done, David went and took the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan from the men of Jabeshgilead, who had stolen them from the public square of Bethshan when the Philistines had hanged them on the day the Philistines killed Saul on Gilboa. Those are all events that have been we've gone through previously in 1 and 2 Samuel. And he brought up from there the bones of Saul and the bones of his son Jonathan. And they gathered the bones of those who were hanged.And they buried the bones of Saul and his son Jonathan in the land of Benjamin and Za in the tomb of Kish his father. And they did all that the king commanded. And after that God responded to the plea for the land. David finds out what she's doing and he goes,"Okay, they're still hanging there."He's going to finish putting into this. He goes and gets the bones of Saul and Jonathan, the bones of the men who've been hanged, and he buries them.And after that, God responds to the police. So this agreement made between David and the Gibeonites, God honors the payment, accepts the atonement of blood for blood, and responds to the plea. That's the first picture that we're given that it's about to immediately swap to another picture. We're going to take a moment when we get done with both of them to try to understand what is it saying to them. How would they have understood this?And then how do we understand it? So second picture, that's first picture.Second picture, there was war again. And this is again not in chronological order. There's no really these are just kind of floating out there. There was war again between the Philistines and Israel. And David went down together with his servants, and they fought against the Philistines.And David grew weary. And Ishbi Benob, one of the descendants of the giants, whose spear weighed 300 shekels of bronze, and who was armed with a new sword, thought to kill David. But Abashai, the son of Zerui, came to his aid, and attacked the Philistine, and killed him. Then David's men swore to him,"You shall no longer go out with us to battle, lest you quench the lamp of Israel."There's several things that are going to happen in this section. First, we see that David at some point was getting older, was getting tired.They said,"Look, you can't go out with us."So, they're giving some explanation to why David quit going out with the army the way that he used to. We see Abashai, the son of Zerui, who's shown up consistently throughout this, showing up and saving David's life. We also see a giant and there's going to be several giants in this text. And so I have a couple of things to say when it comes to the idea of giants. One, this does not have to be the most fantastic thing in your mind.The idea that there are giants. There are giants in the Bible. We're going to talk a little bit about the fantastic side of that in a second. But it doesn't have to be the most fantastic side of things. I want to show y'all a picture.This is a picture. I had AI put two pictures together, but the guy in the middle is 5 foot seven, 5 foot eight. He would walk amongst us and not really stand out. You wouldn't be like,"Wow, what an average fellow."That's always you just be here fine. To his left is a tribe of pygmies.This was taken recently. They exist in Africa in the jungles. The average height of the pygmy tribes is about 5t tall for males. So they're about 5t tall. To his right in South Sudan, there are the Dinka people who have whole families at the average height is 6'5.If the Pygmies had to go fight the Dinka, they might be like,"Oh my goodness, those guys are huge."They may say,"We spied them out and they look like they made us feel like grasshoppers."So all I'm saying, the whole point of showing you this, other than I think the picture is neat looking, is that that's just normal genetics at play right now. These families of giants were just families that had genetics that we're playing into they're really big. And in a world where the biggest baddest guy kills people and gets all the women, he can have a whole lot of children. And so what we have is several families, sons of Anoch, sons of Rafa, that just were really big. And there's several giants.It doesn't have to be this big fantastic thing. You can pull that picture down. The other thing is, just side note, there are some things in the Bible that we don't have all the answers to. How exactly does this work? How many were there?What did they look like? Why does this one guy we're about to read about have six fingers and six toes? I don't know. But if you get on the internet, you can get sucked into a black hole of weird stuff that is unhelpful. And there are people who some are I would say lack wisdom or misguided and I would say some who are evil and demonically led who are trying to pull people into the oddest corners of the Bible.And they want to tell you that well you really got to find out. We we've got to we got to get behind this thing. We got to figure it out. We got to get underneath it. There's something really going on.There's a secret in the Bible and you got to hold it like this and squint with your left eye. It's like what are you talking about? That that's not how it works. So whenever there's like this mystery, this hidden thing, this secret thing, only we know about it. We figured out where the lost 12 tribes went.All this mess, the Bible is extremely clear. There was a mystery. It's been revealed in Christ. All the wisdom and knowledge is found in Christ. He's the revealing of God's promises.The book of Revelation, which is going to reveal, pull back the curtain and show you, it's the revelation of Jesus Christ. It is not unclear. So, if somebody's pulling you into some weird niche thing and they're like,"You have to know this."If I did, can I tell you, it would be in here very clearly. Do you know how many times Paul repeats himself? If I had to know it, he'd have written it in like four of his letters.If it was the most important thing, like it would be showing up and stuff. Now, there are times where we're basing some information off of one piece of little thing we have, but the non-essential pieces of the faith is clear. The revelation of Christ is clear. So, I would suggest you do what David does, what his mighty men do here, which is put the giants to death and then live your life free of them. So, if there's weird little things you like to get into, get done with that and live your life in the joy and the freedom and the hope of the gospel and the clarity of the scriptures.That's all I'm going to yell at you about that at this moment.Verse 18. After this, there was again war with the Philistines at Gob or Gob. Then Cib Cibekiah the Hushathite struck down Saf who was one of the descendants of the giants. And there was again war with the Philistines at Gob. And Elhan the son of Jaier Orahim the Bethlehemite struck down Goliath the Gitite, the shaft of whose spear was like a weaver's beam.Okay, Goliath the Gitite is just another way of saying Goliath of Gath, which means a whole lot of ink has been spilled over this one verse where people are talking about what does this mean? And there's all kinds of weird theories like Elhanan must have been David's nickname. I don't think so. Couple of options for who this Goliath of Gath is. One, there were two guys named Goliath.That's possible. We already ran into two Mephibosheths and two Barzillais. Two, Goliath is a title, not a name. Three, there is a textual issue here and it's supposed to say brother of Goliath of Gath, which is what sec first Chronicles, I have it written down, 1st Chronicles 20:5 says that Elhanan killed his brother. And there are only a few places in the Old Testament we have very trustw trustworthy manuscripts, but it's possible that we're just missing a word here.Anyway, we're not going to spend any more time on that. But he kills a giant.Verse 20. And there was again war at Gath. It's verse 20. And there was a man of great stature who had six fingers on each hand and six toes on each foot, 24 in number. He also was descended from the giants.So there's some genetic anomalies going on here. Also, whenever they start telling you how much their clothes weighed or how many fingers they had or whatever, usually those people are going to die. And I think they just count that out and weigh it later. I don't know if he was swinging his spear and they were like ducking and being like,"Does his hand look weird?"I think maybe they figured it out later. I high-fived him.It felt like a lot. All right, verse 21. And when he taunted Israel, Jonathan, the son of Shimi, David's brother, struck him down. These four were descended from the giants in Gath, and they fell by the hand of David and by the hand of his servants. And those are the two pictures we're going to look at today.Now, the first thing I want to ask quickly is why? What is this serving? In the epilogue of David, what point is this making? I think the first story is reminding us, putting in our head that David is sorting out the leftover problems from Saul. That some of the problems that happened during David's reign weren't even David's fault.He He's coming in and fixing problems caused by Saul. I also think it's showing that even when David had negative things happen in his reign between his house and Saul's house, it wasn't David just seeking to get revenge on Saul. That David was trying to navigate difficult situations. And at the end of this, he even tries to show as much honor as he can to them by burying them even though the Gibeonites hadn't treated him that well. I think that's the first story.David as representative head is fixing problems on behalf of the nation, fixing problems left by Saul and not trying to have a ton of hostility between his house and Saul's house. I think the second picture is, hey, you remember how there used to be giants? You know how there aren't anymore? Y'all should be thankful to David. That's the second picture is just the Philistines used to be a big problem after David.They're not a big problem. Giants used to be a big problem after David and his mighty men. They're not a big problem. like it's just a picture of remember that David went to war for us. Remember that David cleared out problems. Remember that David defended us.I think that's basically what that second picture is doing. Now for us as we read this story and we try to understand how should we think about things like this.The first thing that I would recommend to us is that there's something going on with the idea of blood guilt. This idea of collective guilt, this idea of headship, representative headship that has guilt on us that we ought to consider. And I specifically had this in mind as we're going into Fourth of July and celebrating this this, you know, America 250. You I'm glad America's been here for 250 years. And if the Lord delays his return, I hope America hits another 250.I hope there's an America 500 and that all the states in the union allow fireworks and it's a blessed occasion. But I hope that the next 250 years are years of peace, justice, righteousness, goodness. I hope they're years of obedience. I hope they're years of worship. I hope that this isn't just a a pagan nation that exists for a long time, a powerful nation that exists for a long time.I hope it's a faithful nation. And we ought to consider if there is shared guilt and blood guilt that can spread to peoples and to a nation and that can pollute the land. The Lord even talks about when sexual sin in Leviticus, he says that the land will vomit you out because they've piled up this sin. Then we ought to be people who pray for our nation, for our leaders, who repent for our nation, for our leaders. I came across this quote as I was studying this this week, and I want to share it with you. says,"We think of the unknown slaves who died in despair on southern plantations, the unknown immigrants who died in squalor outside northern factories, and the unknown faces of infant children today who will never see the light of day because of the sins of their mothers and the conspiracy of a wicked society."None of these names are unknown to God.None of the crimes forgotten in the annals of his perfect justice. How great is the blood guilt on this land as with the land of so many other nations that have already fallen under the sword of God's providential justice. So may the Lord bless us, but may he be merciful on us. And may we be people who pray for the grace and the mercy of the Lord and for things to change and for things to be good and for there to be righteousness here. And the idea that everything the US does is excellent because the US did it.Let us not be fooled into believing that. But let us be people who long for another kingdom where certain things never take place. I think that's one of the things that we should see in this text as we consider the idea of blood guilt and shared guilt and representative headship. May we be repentant and prayerful and hopeful in the light of God's goodness to move forward well. But I think there's a problem in the middle of that that we have to reckon with.When we read this story, we we see that there's shared guilt, which is foreign to us. Feels wrong. That Saul could commit a sin and that it would be on his family and that it would the whole nation would have to pay for it and then Saul's children would have to pay for it feels wrong. And that God would accept the sacrifice at the end feels wrong. You almost want God to show up at the end and go that y'all did this wrong.Why are you rounding up people and killing them for something Saul did? But he doesn't. He says he accepts. He accepts the plea for the land. And so there's part of us that is like,"This doesn't feel fair.This feels off."We want to look at this text and go,"This text, this is unfair. That idea is unfair. And therefore, it's unjust and therefore wrong. And maybe God's evil."That's kind of the track we follow. So I want to share a story with you, and I'm kind of coming at this from the side to try to help us wrap our head around something.So we're going to change subjects for just a second. I want to read a story. This was recently posted online by Nouaga, if I'm pronouncing that correctly. He's Japanese. He wrote this story, posted it online.Some of you may have seen it, maybe you haven't. I want to read it to you. He says,"USA, a Mexican restaurant. We had not yet ordered anything and the food was already arriving. Chips, salsa, unrequested, free.I stopped the waiter. We have not earned these. They just come with the table, man. Okay.Now, he didn't say,"We've not ordered these."He's Japanese. He said,"We have not earned these."There's something going on here for him. Let's see what happens. They come with the table. In my land, hospitality is a debt.Every gift creates an obligation weighed carefully, returned in the proper season with interest of feeling. Here, the gift arrives before you have even proven you can pay for dinner. This is not an appetizer. This is a declaration. We trust you.Eat. chips hit the table and he starts having psychological problems. He is working his best to process what on earth is happening. And it is culturally cross so many lines for him that they've made a declaration of trust. Now, do you feel well trusted when chips hit the table? I don't think you've ever thought about it.I ate with the gravity the moment deserved. People are snacking, eating chips. He's eating with gravity over here. And then I must report this calmly. The basket emptied and a new one appeared.Did we? Like he's trying to What is happening? Refill. The waiter said it's bottomless. Bottomless.They have wells of salsa. The supply lines of this nation are beyond anything my ancestors imagined. My friend warned me,"Don't fill up on chips, dude. Too late."I had accepted three baskets. Honor demanded each one be finished.An unfinished gift is an insult. By the time my actual food arrived, I was a ruined man. This is a trap for a Japanese person because if you finish the chips, they're going to give you more. But he has to finish the chips or he's dishonoring the whole group of people that have brought him here. He's dishonoring those who have handed to him.He's got to honor the gift. He's got to finish the chips. And when he does it, another basket arrives. He says,"Thank you."And goes back to eating with the gravity the moment demands. It says this,"I was not hungry.I was not comfortable. I had been defeated by a courtesy."Generosity that arrives before the request cannot be repaid. It can only be survived. I know the rule. I have made my peace with the basket.One basket. Two at the most. Who am I deceiving? There is no number of baskets I would refuse. The trust of a nation is in that salsa and I intend to honor all of it.Now, have you ever been in a Mexican restaurant and thought,"The trust of the nation is in this salsa. I must honor their trust."Not once, not ever. And as he describes this to you, it's like,"What are you even talking about? How is this an honor shame situation? This is we're at a restaurant.How are you having to honor their gift? They're just giving you chips. Like the it doesn't compute for us. And what happens when we interact with someone who has a completely different culture because you've just been trained in a culture. You've just been equipped in one.And there are things that are ingrained in you. If I'm somewhere and there are no seats and there's a lady, I have to get up. And I'll say,"Here, you have the seat."And if they say,"No, you sit."Then we both just stand because I can't sit back down because I'll die inside and think about it later. I'll ride in my truck later and be like,"I was sitting. They were standing.What have I not?"Like it messes with me because it's been it's built into me. We We all have these things. He has that. So he's overthinking chips where we're all free and we can explain it to him, but he can't not feel it. He can't not feel the chips sitting in the basket.I'm sure there was a moment when he was thinking,"Don't eat But he's like,"I have to or I'm bringing shame and not handling this well and I've got to be thankful and the trust of the nation is in this salsa, whatever that means."Now, what happens when we interact with people of other cultures like that is that we'll often look at them and go,"Huh, that's how y'all think about that? That's interesting. That's not how we think about it, but that's interesting. It's it's weird. You might ask more questions, but there's this level of humility.We'll read things in the biblical text where we're bringing our same American, Western sensibilities. We'll run into something that we don't understand and we'll go,"Well, that's wrong. Feels unfair to me. Unfair means unjust. Unjust means wrong.Wrong means evil. If God's like this, then he's unfair. Unjust, wrong, evil. I don't have to follow him. I don't have to believe him."and we will come with the most insane level of blind confidence that if it goes against my sensibilities, I'm right, it's wrong, and God can be dismissed.Now, in this situation, if we're going to have a handful of humility and a handful of blind confidence, and we have to choose who we're going to interact with, God or noaga, who gets humility and who gets confidence? I'd say let's hit Nounaga with blind confidence and let's walk towards God with some humility. But we so often just go, it feels sideways to me, so it must be wrong. And if I feel it, then it's wrong and so this can't be good and therefore I can get rid of it. What ought to happen when we hit a text and we go,"Wait a second.Headship guilt. Wait a second. Blood sacrifice from family members to pay this back. There's blood guilt. I don't understand that.What we ought to realize is there's something wrong in my understanding. I'm missing a piece and I've got to submit to this because God has authority over me and he's right. I'm not wrong. If God is real and we believe that he's real and that he's over all things, then we should expect to find things in the Bible that confront us and that correct us. If every time you run into one of those, God has to conform to you, well then you're God and you're in charge.So, we should expect there's going to be moments like this. And y'all, you you can come to the scriptures and go, I don't understand that, but I'll submit to it. I don't understand exactly how that works, but I'll I'll believe it. And that exact same framework I just gave you, you use all the time. You use it, you've used it with your parents, you've used it with a mechanic, you use it with an accountant, you've used it with a doctor.They explain something to you and you don't go,"In order for me to take this medicine, I'm I too must become a doctor. You just go,"I don't understand. I don't understand half the words you just said, but I trust you. And we come to the scriptures and we'll read something we don't understand and go, I guess it must be wrong. I guess I can dismiss God.And that is the most arrogant, prideful, nonsensical position to hold. This is hard to understand. It's hard to It's easy to understand. It's hard to accept. It's hard to get our jump past our sensibilities.This idea of guilt that spreads. But what that means is that there's more to sin than you understand. There's more to sin than you realize. If sexual sin can pollute the land, and if blood guilt can pollute the land, and if it can be shared down to families, and if everybody can pay for it, there's more to sin than you understand. It's actually more dangerous than you think it is.It's like if you tell a child to wash their hands and they look at their hands and go,"They're not dirty."It's like,"That's not how it works."Your hands could be coated in diseases. We don't know. Just wash your hands. And knowing you, they probably are. Go wash your hands.Like, that's And we're like, well, that's not how sin works or this sin isn't a big deal or it's just my sin or it's just their sin or it should it's like that's not how it works. And we should look at passages like this and realize there's more to it and it's more dangerous and it's more heinous. And that we should walk with some level of humility. And whether you like it or not, this idea of representative headship and representative atonement, it's the exact situation you find yourself in. We had a representative named Adam who is the representative head over all of humanity.And he rebelled against God. And we've all been born into Adam into sin because of what he did. This is why the Bible will say things like,"In Adam all die."When you were born, before you got a birth certificate, you were theologically, metaphorically handed an undated death certificate. It's a guarantee because we're in Adam and his sin has spread. and it has to be paid for. And if we read something like this and go there's a 23 and me roundup where they went and got these guys to have their blood pay for this debt and we we repulsed by it.But there's a reality of Jesus showed up to pay a blood debt so that there might be forgiveness. That's what Hebrews 9:22 says. Indeed, under the law, almost everything is purified with blood and without the shedding of blood, there is no forgiveness of sins. So that Jesus has to come pay a debt. So that in this story, it's as if David were to respond and say,"Well, Saul sinned on behalf of the people.He was the king. I'll pay the debt on behalf of the people. I'm the king. I'll be their new representative. Hang me up."the gruesome picture of a son being stripped and impaled before his mother to be laid out in the sun to die on behalf of others for sin he didn't commit is the exact picture of the cross and the exact hope that we have that there was a representative head who did not sin on beha our behalf but saves on our behalf who paves on our behalf This is what 1 Corinthians 15:21-22 says.For as by a man came death, by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ shall all be made alive. I want to read a quote by Charles Simeon in reference to this passage. He was a pastor in England. He says,"The blood of Saul's sons was poured forth as a sacrifice to national justice and as a means of averting the divine displeasure."And it was considered by God as an atonement for the sin which Saul had committed.How much more then will God accept in our behalf the blood of his own son who was sent into the world for the express purpose that he might expedate our guilt and procure for us reconciliation with our offended God. You are either in Adam alone or you're in Christ. We're all in Adam and you can stand in Adam and be under guilt or you can have Christ be your representative head to pay the guilt for you. And you don't have to understand how that works. You just need to understand that it works.That you can humbly walk to the Lord and say,"I don't exactly know how guilt works. I don't exactly know how sin works this way. I know that I've sinned, but I don't know how it works that I'm under this curse. But I understand that you're willing to accept the sacrifice of Jesus. You're willing to accept his atoning blood.You're willing to let him pay on my behalf. And I want him to pay on my behalf. I want to be saved. I want to be rescued. I want him to be my representative head.And you don't have to understand exactly how that works, but you just need to know that that's how it works. And that we get to have Jesus represent us to the father so that we might be forgiven. And if Jesus represents you to the father, you are forgiven. The atoning sacrifice has been paid. So, may we read texts like this with a level of humility, and may we read texts like this in a way that helps us appreciate the goodness of Christ on our behalf.The band's going to come back up.In a moment, we're going to receive communion, which is where we as Christians take time to remind ourselves of the hope of the gospel. We have communion elements set up in the front here. Here we have them in the back. And in that corner there, if you have a gluten allergy, we have a a gluten-free table. And what we do when we take communion is we remind ourselves that there is blood that has been shed on our behalf, that an atoning sacrifice has been paid, that the debt has been covered, that Jesus Christ really came for the express purpose to bridge and reconcile us back to God.It is something for Christians to partake in where we take the body where Jesus said on the night he was betrayed he took bread and he said this is my body broken for you and he gave it to them and said take this and then he took a cup and he said this is my blood shed for the forgiveness of sins take drink and so we take the bread reminding us of the body of Christ that's broken we take the cup we drink reminding us of the blood that was shed and the new covenant that was made with us and we take it reminding ourselves that the atonement has been made.If you are not a Christian, then do not take communion. But we would invite you to come to know Christ and to ask him to be your representative head to rescue you and to get you out of this problem.Let's pray.Lord, may we approach you with humility. May we honor your sacrifice and your generosity and your grace. And Lord, may we hide behind the representative sacrifice of Christ that pays for sin. Trusting in you and you alone in Jesus name. Amen.When you are ready, take and eat.

I ugens Finans Brief ser vi på, hvad der sker i det sydkoreanske aktiemarked, der er steget over 80% i år. Det handler om et ”hukommelses-kapløb” : Processorkraften i AI-chips vokser langt hurtigere end hukommelsesbåndbredden, hvilket forskyder konkurrencen fra regnekraft til hukommelseskapacitet. Vi ser på de centrale spillere i Sydkorea.AI temaet er så voldsomt, at det overskygger krigsfrygten fra Iran/USA krigen, og det er derfor vi har nye aktierekorder, mens olieforsyningssituationen stadig er uafklaret med et lukket Hormuz-stræde.Der er også centrale nøgletal fra USA: Inflation og detailsalg vi lige runder.JYSKE QUANT anbefalinger nævnt i udsendelsen:Samsung ElecSK HynixVigtig investeringsinformation

Velkommen til Den Orange Besættelse – din ultimative guide til årets Roskilde line-up! Føler du dig også en smule overvældet af de mange vilde navne på plakaten? Er du bange for at gå glip af den koncert, alle taler om bagefter? Frygt ej. Hver tirsdag kl. 18-19 inviterer vi, Linnea og Celia, en vaskeægte superfan i studiet, der fortæller, hvorfor netop deres favoritkunstner, er den du ikke må misse. I dag er vi et smut forbi den danske musikhistories sangskat. TV-2 var bragende aktuelle i 80'erne, men er aktive og drønrelevante helt frem til den dag i dag! Til sommer skal de forbi Orange Scene for første gang i 25 år, og derfor har vi taget en snak med deres hoffotograf Kim Søndergård, der med både en personlig fanrejse og et professionelt samarbejde i bagagen i den grad kan forklare, hvad det her band er støbt af.Desuden svinger DR's helt egen radiovært Mads Gundersen forbi og fortæller, hvorfor han stadig kommer til TV-2's koncerter, efter hans far introducerede ham til bandet som spæd. Nørderi og opvarmning i stride strømme til en koncert du altså bare ikke må misse - i hvert fald ikke hvis du spørger dagens gæster!

Hơn 50 triệu euro được Liên Hiệp Châu Âu đầu tư cho Chương trình Giáo dục Nghề nghiệp Việt Nam (VETVET). Hiệp định được Liên Âu và chính phủ Việt Nam ký ngày 31/12/2025 và kéo dài đến năm 2030 nhằm nâng cao chất lượng đào tạo nghề, xây dựng lực lượng lao động có kỹ năng, đáp ứng yêu cầu của quá trình chuyển đổi xanh, chuyển đổi số tại việt Nam. “Chuyển đổi xanh, chuyển đổi số” được trang Nhân Dân nhấn mạnh “là hai yếu tố căn bản cấu thành một xu thế tất yếu, không thể đảo ngược” của Việt Nam. Tuy nhiên, Việt Nam đang thiếu hụt nguồn nhân lực chuyên môn, có kỹ năng. Chương trình VETVET của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu được bộ trưởng Giáo dục và Đào tạo Nguyễn Kim Sơn đánh giá “sẽ góp phần hiện đại hóa giáo dục nghề nghiệp và đáp ứng tốt hơn nhu cầu của thị trường lao động”. Về phía Liên Hiệp Châu Âu, trả lời phỏng vấn RFI Tiếng Việt ngày 20/01/2026, đại sứ Julien Guerrier cho biết Hiệp định tài trợ cho Chương trình Giáo dục nghề nghiệp Việt Nam-EU đánh dấu một bước tiến quan trọng trong việc tăng cường hợp tác song phương trong lĩnh vực giáo dục và phát triển kỹ năng. Chương trình VETVET cũng sẽ giúp Việt Nam tăng sức hấp dẫn cũng như đáp ứng nhu cầu nhân lực của các nhà đầu tư, đặc biệt là các nhà đầu tư châu Âu, vào Việt Nam. RFI : Một thỏa thuận mới về tài trợ Chương trình Giáo dục Nghề nghiệp (VETVET) đã được Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Việt Nam đã ký ngày 31/12/2025. Xin Đại sứ cho biết chương trình hợp tác chung giữa Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và Việt Nam về lĩnh vực này được triển khai từ bao giờ và nhằm những mục tiêu nào ? Đại sứ Julien Guerrier : Đối với chúng tôi, chương trình VETVET là một sáng kiến ​​lớn nhằm tăng cường công tác đào tạo và giáo dục tại Việt Nam. Công tác chuẩn bị cho chương trình hợp tác và dự án này bắt đầu từ năm 2023, và chúng tôi ký thỏa thuận tài chính vào cuối năm 2025. Vì vậy, hiện nay chúng tôi đã sẵn sàng triển khai dự án này. Đây là một chương trình với nhiều nhà tài trợ, có tổng ngân sách hơn 50 triệu euro, có thể thấy là rất lớn, được đồng tài trợ bởi Liên Hiệp Châu Âu (40 triệu euro), Đức (10,4 triệu euro) và Pháp (500.000 euro). Chương trình sẽ do Expertise France và đối tác Đức là GIZ thực hiện, phối hợp với Bộ Giáo dục và Đào tạo Việt Nam. Chương trình kéo dài 5 năm, được bắt đầu ngay lập tức và kéo dài tới năm 2030. Mục tiêu của chương trình VETVET là hỗ trợ Việt Nam xây dựng một lĩnh vực giáo dục và đào tạo toàn diện, chất lượng cao và hiện đại, trang bị cho người Việt Nam những kỹ năng cần thiết cho nền kinh tế tương lai, đặc biệt là chuyển đổi số và chuyển đổi xanh. Thông qua chương trình này, chúng tôi sẽ thiết lập một số quan hệ đối tác với các doanh nghiệp. Chúng tôi sẽ nỗ lực tăng cường sức hấp dẫn và tính bền vững của ngành giáo dục và đào tạo tại Việt Nam để có được những kỹ năng về mặt khởi nghiệp và chuyển đổi số, chuyển đổi xanh. Đọc thêmEU và Việt Nam ký kết thỏa thuận chương trình đào tạo nghề trị giá 50 triệu euro RFI : Thỏa thuận mới “nhằm nâng cao chất lượng đào tạo nghề, phát triển nguồn nhân lực kỹ năng cao”. Cụ thể là những ngành nghề nào được chú trọng ? Hoạt động đào tạo sẽ được tiến hành như thế nào ? Tại Việt Nam hay tại các nước thành viên EU tham gia chương trình ? Đại sứ Julien Guerrier : Sự hỗ trợ của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu dành cho đào tạo nghề tại Việt Nam sẽ tập trung vào các lĩnh vực đang thiếu hụt lao động tay nghề cao nhất, như chị đề cập, đặc biệt là trong các lĩnh vực năng lượng tái tạo, công nghệ cao kỹ thuật số, cho các ngành công nghệ cao như bán dẫn, công nghiệp xanh, nông nghiệp bền vững và công nghệ quản lý môi trường và lâm nghiệp. Đó là những lĩnh vực sẽ được chúng tôi tập trung tới. Chúng tôi sẽ hợp tác với khoảng ba mươi trường cao đẳng nghề và doanh nghiệp để giúp chúng tôi phát triển các kỹ năng này, trước hết là bằng cách đào tạo giảng viên, sau đó là đào tạo người Việt Nam trong các lĩnh vực này, trên khắp các vùng miền của Việt Nam, và đôi khi thông qua các chương trình trao đổi tại Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Cách tiếp cận sẽ rất sát với nhu cầu thực tế, có nghĩa là các doanh nghiệp sẽ cho chúng tôi biết họ thiếu kỹ năng gì và sẽ cần kỹ năng gì trong tương lai, và chúng tôi sẽ có thể đào tạo giảng viên không chỉ ở các trường cao đẳng nghề mà ngay chính trong doanh nghiệp, những người mà sau này có thể tập trung vào việc đào tạo thanh niên trong những lĩnh vực khác nhau. Điều quan trọng đối với chúng tôi là cần bảo đảm sự tiếp cận công bằng và bình đẳng cho thanh niên, bao gồm cả những người đến từ các vùng khó khăn hoặc các dân tộc thiểu số. Do đó, chúng tôi sẽ bảo đảm rằng tài liệu đào tạo và phương pháp giảng dạy được triển khai sẽ phải bao gồm cả các nhóm dân tộc thiểu số, đồng thời thúc đẩy bình đẳng giới và khuyến khích chương trình đào tạo dành cho phụ nữ tại Việt Nam. RFI : Chương trình đào tạo này có thể mang lại lợi ích như thế nào cho hợp tác giữa EU và Việt Nam ? Đại sứ Julien Guerrier : Đối với Việt Nam, điều này rất rõ ràng, Việt Nam sẽ có nhiều kỹ năng hơn, một lĩnh vực đào tạo nghề hiện đại hơn rất nhiều, hiệu quả và chất lượng cao hơn để đào tạo giới trẻ cho các doanh nghiệp tương lai. Việc này cũng rất cần thiết đối với Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Thứ nhất, bởi vì đó là một phần trong các chương trình của Liên Âu để đóng góp vào hành động chống biến đổi khí hậu trên toàn thế giới. Ngoài ra cũng bởi vì chúng tôi có rất nhiều nhà đầu tư tại Việt Nam. Chúng tôi có Hiệp định Thương mại Tự do và Hiệp định Đầu tư với Việt Nam. Vì vậy nhiều nhà đầu tư châu Âu đến đây, đầu tư vào các lĩnh vực mà chúng tôi có lợi thế cạnh tranh, cụ thể là các lĩnh vực xanh, bền vững và công nghệ số cao. Và đó là những lĩnh vực cần những kỹ năng này. Vì vậy, chúng tôi sẽ phải đào tạo nguồn nhân lực sau này có thể làm việc cho các công ty của chúng tôi đầu tư vào Việt Nam trong những lĩnh vực này.

Tình hình này có khẩn cấp không ? Đại sứ Julien Guerrier : Có, bởi vì đất nước đang chuyển mình rất, rất nhanh. Việt Nam đặt mục tiêu trung hòa carbon vào năm 2050, giống như Liên Hiệp Châu Âu. Việt Nam cũng khao khát đi đầu trong quá trình chuyển đổi số. Đối với chuyển đổi xanh, sẽ cần các kỹ sư năng lượng tái tạo, kỹ thuật viên, chuyên gia về biến đổi khí hậu, kỹ thuật viên khoa học môi trường và công nhân lành nghề trong các hoạt động nông nghiệp bền vững, ví dụ canh tác lúa phát thải thấp, cũng như trong ngành công nghiệp gỗ và quản lý rừng. Về chuyển đổi số, rất cần các kỹ sư và kỹ thuật viên trong các lĩnh vực điện tử, cơ điện tử và công nghệ thông tin. Ngoài ra cũng cần các chuyên gia về tự động hóa quy trình công nghiệp, robot và các lĩnh vực công nghệ cao khác, đặc biệt là chất bán dẫn, một lĩnh vực mà Việt Nam đang đặt mục tiêu phát triển nhanh chóng. Có thể thấy là có khá nhiều lĩnh vực kỹ thuật cần những con người có thể sử dụng phần mềm mới nhất, tích hợp các giải pháp số vào các ngành công nghiệp truyền thống hơn, và sử dụng tối ưu nguồn năng lượng hiện có. Đó là những kỹ sư trong lĩnh vực năng lượng tái tạo, lĩnh vực số hóa, cũng như trong mọi ngành công nghiệp ở Việt Nam, để tích hợp những công nghệ này vào các ngành công nghiệp truyền thống hơn. RFI : Chương trình VETVET có tương ứng và đáp ứng với kế hoạch 5 năm được đề ra trong Đại hội Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam lần thứ XIV ? Đại sứ Julien Guerrier : Hoàn toàn đúng vậy. Tôi đã tham dự lễ khai mạc Đại hội Đảng Cộng sản Việt Nam sáng 20/01. Đại hội quyết định việc bổ nhiệm lãnh đạo cho 5 năm tới, cũng như các chính sách cần theo đuổi. Các ưu tiên là chuyển đổi số và chuyển đổi xanh. Và đối với hai ưu tiên này, mục tiêu số một là phát triển nguồn nhân lực bởi vì đó là điều kiện tiên quyết để thành công trong hai quá trình chuyển đổi này. Vì vậy, theo kế hoạch của Đảng, đây là điểm đứng đầu trong các ưu tiên cho 5 năm tới. Và điều này hoàn toàn phù hợp với nhu cầu của người dân Việt Nam để phát triển đất nước một cách bền vững. Do đó, giữa các ưu tiên của Liên Hiệp Châu Âu và các ưu tiên của Việt Nam có sự tương đồng hoàn hảo về vấn đề này.

Nordkoreas Machthaber Kim Jong Un soll seine Tochter als Nachfolgerin aufbauen. Bisher ist wenig bekannt über die Teenagerin. SRF-Korrespondent Samuel Emch sagt, was man weiss – und welche Signale auf sie als Nachfolgerin deuten. Weitere Themen: •Die Tagebücher eines engen Vertrauten von Mao Zedong bleiben in den USA – und damit weiterhin zugänglich für die Forschung. Die Notizen enthalten auch Ausführungen zum innersten Machtzirkel der Kommunistischen Partei. Über die Bedeutung der Tagebücher sprechen wir mit der Historikerin Ariane Knüsel. •Südafrikas Metropole Kapstadt gilt als eine der gefährlichsten Städte der Welt. Jetzt will Präsident Cyril Ramaphosa die Gang-Gewalt in den Griff bekommen und stellt der Polizei in Kapstadt rund 1'000 Soldaten an die Seite. Die Journalistin Cristina Karrer darüber, was das bringen kann. •Viele nutzten die Ostertage, um nochmal auf die Piste zu gehen. Jetzt ist in einigen Skigebieten die Saison beendet. Berno Stoffel, Direktor von Seilbahnen Schweiz, sagt, warum die Pisten nicht länger offen bleiben.

We sit down for an author chat with Lisa Lee to talk with her about about her debut novel American Han, a Korean American family drama about the Kims, a family whose members are each going through their own personal crises. When an even bigger crisis occurs the whole family is forced to come together and deal with the consequences of decades of built up resentment and estrangement, all stemming from the relentless pursuit of the "Amerian Dream."Follow Lisa on Instagram at @lisaleehello and check out her new novel American Han available now on the Books & Boba bookshop!Books & Boba is a podcast dedicated to reading and featuring books by Asian and Asian American authorsSupport the Books & Boba Podcast by:Joining our Patreon to receive exclusive perksPurchasing books at our bookshopRocking our Books & Boba merchFollow our hosts:Reera Yoo (@reeraboo)Marvin Yueh (@marvinyueh)Follow us:InstagramTwitterGoodreadsFacebookThe Books & Boba April 2026 pick is The Elsewhere Express by Samantha Sotto YambaoThis podcast is part of Potluck: An Asian American Podcast Collective

The World Baseball Classic is testing the limits of our attention spans and our channel surfing. We are loving the father-son stories, the espresso shots, the real estate agents, the moms and high school kids, and all the Kims, and are wondering where the politics went. In our last boyfriend week, we bring you our picks for the Blue Jays and the Brewers. We found two more kids who wanted their dads to play for TOR, one wanting to stay and one picking them first among 30. For MIL, we look to a former Red Sox and a current Team Canada player. Our police blotter looks at how multiyear contracts may make PEDs worth the risk – is that what Jurickson Profar found? And we crosstrain with the Seattle Rugby Club as they join #rugbyforall to counter USA Rugby's new transphobic policy.We say “She's gonna pick a bird,” “the clickah circuit,” and “suck it, Draftkings.” Fight the man, send your game balls to Meredith, get boosted, and find us on Bluesky @ncibpodcast, on Facebook @nocryinginbball, Instagram @nocryinginbball and on the Interweb at nocryinginbball.com.

It's MS Awareness Week, and this year we're diving into a theme that hits home for millions: Unseen MS. Multiple sclerosis is a master of disguise; it can be entirely invisible to the naked eye while remaining profoundly life-altering for the person living it. In this episode, we're exploring the spectrum of the MS experience through two distinct, yet deeply connected stories.  First, you'll hear from RealTalk MS team member Kristine Werner Ozug. Kristine shares what it's like to navigate a world that doesn't always see her struggle, and how her "mostly invisible" MS  symptoms still dictate the rhythm of her daily life. Then, you'll meet the two Kims (and a third). Kim W and Kim P, have been together for 16 years. They both live with MS—but in very different ways. While Kim P has navigated RRMS for 18 years with largely invisible symptoms, Kim W was diagnosed with PPMS just three years ago and faces much more visible physical challenges. Joining our conversation with Kim and Kim is Kim Fredsall, a physical therapist at Gaylord Specialty Healthcare, who provides expert context on bridging the gap between diagnosis and daily management. We have a lot to talk about! Are you ready for RealTalk MS??!

It was 2007 when I began recording the horrors of the North Korean regime. Not much has changed today. The Kims still rule. God's people still suffer. Much of the peripheral information in this 2007 audio has changed, and the sound quality is very poor. But the message is clear. Pray for the people of God! Your comments will be helpful...

Kim Il-sung, Kim Jong-il und jetzt Kim Jong-un. Seit drei Generationen wird Nordkorea von der Familie Kim mit eiserner Hand regiert. Kaum ein Land dieser Erde ist so hermetisch abgeriegelt wie Nordkorea. Die Nachrichten, die uns aus dem Land erreichen, wirken oft zu bizarr, um wirklich wahr sein zu können. Wie Nordkorea zu dem Land geworden ist, das heute seine Feinde mit Atomwaffen bedroht und wie es dem Großvater von Kim Jong-un einst gelungen ist, die Bevölkerung zu unterwerfen, erklärt Rüdiger Frank, Professor am Institut für Ostasienwissenschaften und Direktor des European Centre for North Korean Studies an der Universität Wien.

In this Telugu podcast episode, we sit down with Dr. Bhaskar Rao Bollineni, one of India's leading cardiothoracic surgeons and the visionary founder behind KIMS Hospitals, to trace an extraordinary journey that begins in the unlikeliest of places. Before he wore the doctor's coat, he was a sarpanch in the 1990s but then life pulled him in a different direction. Influenced by a local RMP doctor and a deeply personal incident involving his sister. He says he chose medicine, not for money, but out of respect for the profession and a burning desire to save lives. Why cardiac? Because the heart, to him, represented both the fragility and resilience of human existence.He opens up about the evolution of Aarogyasri, the landmark health scheme launched by YSR, the real intent behind it, and how he came to be part of its initiation. With candid honesty, he discusses the allegations of misuse, how the rich often exploited benefits meant for the poor, and why the insurance premium model needs a serious rethink. He also explained how co-payment can change the way people look at health care in India; Dr. Bhaskar Rao takes us through the economics of healthcare & employment generation. His insights turn into practical advice for every listener—why money spent on health is not an expenditure but an income, how small rechecks in our budget can save us from becoming poor. His brutally honest examples will make you rethink how you view your health & security.The conversation goes deeper into what it truly means to be a doctor. His practical advice for young students…a personal SWOT analysis, being an observer in the field before committing, the real meaning of education beyond degrees, the widening gap between education & employment, the dignity of labour that's celebrated in developed countries but often overlooked in India. He then recalls unforgettable medical cases, the dilemma of handling critical patients with little chance of survival, and the emotional toll of explaining death to grieving families. With empathy, he highlights why quality of life matters more than mere quantity and how end-of-life care must be treated with dignity.We also explore the nuts and bolts of running a large hospital chain; the unsung role of paramedics and hospital staff, the urgent need for reskilling, the pay disparities, and the importance of continuous training. As a cardiothoracic and vascular surgeon, he walks us through the sheer complexity of organ transplants, the magic of preserving hearts at sub-zero temperatures, and the drama of green channel operations that use chartered flights to save lives. He sheds light on the story behind KIMS--one of India's most accessible and quality-driven hospital networks, and even expanding into Afghanistan. He responds to allegations about corporate hospital pricing, and demystifies advanced technologies like Gamma Knife, MRgFUS, robotic surgeries, and the economics behind them.Beyond medicine and management, Dr. Bhaskar Rao shares his thoughts on everyday health; food, exercise, and discipline. He reflects on how values must be built in childhood, and how his own upbringing shaped his worldview. From 108 ambulances to civic responsibility, from private equity pressures to doctor poaching, no subject is off the table in this raw and eye-opening discussion.Whether you're a student, a doctor, a policymaker, or simply someone who cares about health and life, this conversation with Dr. Bhaskar Rao Bollineni will leave you inspired, informed, and questioning how we as a society value healthcare.

ROK: WILL IT BECOME ACCOMMODATING THE KIMS AGAIN?  DAVID MAXWEL. APR 1953

ROK: ACCOMMODATING THE KIMS AGAIN. DAVID MAXWELL CONTINUED APR 1957

SUMMARY: The Challenge of Understanding - Kim and I acknowledge and discuss, that many Christians (me included) struggle to truly love like Jesus without feeling like they're compromising biblical truth with regard to the LGBTQ community, and Kim shares her journey with her LGBTQ child. It's a genuine complexity to understand how to find balance and Kim sets the marker at the foot of the cross. Judgment vs. Discernment - Parts of the conversation focuses on the difference between judgment and discernment. Kim stresses the importance of building relationships and understanding individual stories because we can't expect to be heard if we don't first invest, aka listen. The Role of the Church - The conversation touches on the importance of allowing space for questions and struggles without fear of judgment or ostracism. Invite difficult conversations and differing viewpoints for the purpose of discovering and revealing God's truths and His heart about the matter for both the one struggling with identity issues as well as the believer who may have a heart posture that God wants to bring a deeper revelation that aligns with His truth, love, character and nature. Embracing Both Faith and Love - As Kim reveals, it's possible to hold onto faith while loving an LGBTQ child. Kim emphasizes that understanding doesn't mean affirming every choice but involves listening, empathizing, and walking alongside them. Tools and Resources - Kim's journey led to the creation of resources like "Pride and Promises," aimed at helping families navigate these complex dynamics. Final Reflections - The conversation ends with a powerful reminder of God's scandalous grace — a grace that doesn't discriminate and a love that is unwavering. Kim's story is a testament to the transformative power of love and the importance of reflecting Christ's love in all interactions. We can lay down the weight of judgement, which enables us to share God's truths without feeling responsible for the outcome and relax in the knowledge that the Holy Spirit is qualified to do His work. In navigating these challenging waters, may we all strive to embody the empathy, compassion, and love that Kim so beautifully advocates for. PODCAST INTRO: My guest is Kim Stlip and she is the founder of Pride and Promises, a beautiful ministry she created that equips believers to hold on to their Christian faith and their LGBTQ+ kids. But I want any parent listening to know, no matter how your child identifies you'll find great wisdom in the biblical discernment that Kim shares. Kim doesn't have any 3 letter adjectives behind her name or lofty degrees that declare her worthy but she is a mom with the courage to stand in the gap between God's truth in the holy scriptures and God's heart for humankind. Kim is motivated by the fact that many Christians struggle to truly love like Jesus without feeling like they're compromising biblical truth. When I think about the phrase of investing blood sweat and tears, surely Kim's picture is next to that description…actually, any mom who has been willing to be the punching bag (my words not Kims) for truth in the very context of a broken world and their children trying to find their way in it. I want to share my personal take away from our conversation because I could really relate to every bit of the relationship aspect of our conversation and relationships beyond my children. I do not have children who struggle with same sex attraction but relationship (across the board) is hard, complicated and layered. I used to think that the hardest part of raising children was when they were young and I was trying to bend their will to the things that would bring them reward, benefit, health. In my heart I was trying to equip my sons to contribute to the world in meaningful, purposeful ways. But no one told me it would be more difficult when they were adults and you have to watch them struggle with the complexities of life as it gets weightier and responsibility after responsibility is added to their years. Here's a quote from Kim “And the hard part is when we hold on so tightly to our right and your wrong, and we don't take one another's stories with empathy, then that's where we hold our fist up and we don't end up coming back together. And so you always diffuse anger with empathy and understanding. And truly, anger is almost always love disappointed.” That my friend hit me in the heart. I had a powerful reminder of the finished work of the cross when Kim brought us back to the cross….and it always comes down to this for any human being (and not just in the context of this topic, it's all of humanity)….if the opportunity to have direct access to God again was going to be a possibility then it was necessary for Christ to go to the cross. For me, my sins. Imagine yourself as the only person alive and Christ goes to the cross for you. He endured the horrific process of crucifixion, the bloody, beaten beyond recognition, publicly stripped naked, disfigured in every way; and I've read some commentary that pointed out you would not have been able to tell if he was male of female.  When Christ hung on the cross He had no guarantee that any of us would choose Him. Now, God knows our heart, the condition/character/nature and because of that He knows which one of us will choose Him but that does not negate the fact that our gift of choice is still a real thing. He doesn't man-handle our gift of choice. There's enough evil in the world to see that He does not intervene with our ability to choose. In other words, He doesn't remove that ability because we refuse to use it in a responsible, wise, healthy way but it is worth remembering He is capable of healing anything this broken world does to us via other peoples choices or the places we find ourselves in because of our own choices. Kim has such courage to have this delicate conversation pointing out that the core of where the conversation should be grounded is in the person of Christ versus where the church and most people, myself included focus on, and that is sexuality. I get it though, the world has made it a sexual issue but as believers we're to look through the lens of God's heart at the world around us. And that's what Kim does at Pride and Promises. A wealth of information that is honest, straightforward biblical truth and presented with the same compassion that Christ provided for each and every one of us on the cross. As Kim and I agreed, at the foot of the cross is level ground for sinners. When you hear Kim's heart behind her encouraging message, I hope that you have breakthrough in your personal life and personal relationships on every level. All of what she shares can be applied to any relationship we can experience because again, our conversations and heart motive should be grounded in the person of Christ. Let's get into the beauty, the hope, and the heart of God by listening to what Kim has to share!

The Kims, of North Korea, are perhaps the 21st century's most successful family dictatorship–if only due to sheer longevity, having run North Korea for the almost eight decades since the country's post-war founding. Kim Il-Sung led North Korea for over half that time, from its founding in 1948 to Kim's death in 1994. But who was Kim Il-Sung? How did someone who spent most of his early years in nearby Manchuria end up running North Korea? And how was Kim able to not just secure his own position, but also the position of his son (and then, in turn, his grandson)? Kim is the subject of Fyodor Tertitsky's latest book, Accidental Tyrant: The Life of Kim Il-sung (Hurst, 2025). Fyodor Tertitskiy has been living in South Korea for more than a decade, where he researches North Korean political, social and military history. He has authored several books in English and Korean, including Soviet-North Korean Relations During the Cold War (Routledge: 2024) and The North Korean Army: History, Structure, Daily Life (Routledge: 2023).

Melvyn Bragg and guests discuss Korea's brief but significant period as an empire as it moved from the 500-year-old dynastic Joseon monarchy towards modernity. It was in October 1897 that King Gojong declared himself Emperor, seizing his chance when the once-dominant China lost to Japan in the First Sino-Japanese War. The king wanted to have the same status as the neighbouring Russian, Chinese and Japanese Emperors, to shore up a bid for Korean independence and sovereignty when the world's major powers either wanted to open Korea up to trade or to colonise it. The Korean Empire lasted only thirteen years, yet it was a time of great transformation for this state and the whole region with lasting consequences in the next century…With Nuri Kim Associate Professor in Korean Studies at the faculty of Asian and Middle Eastern Studies at the University of Cambridge and Fellow of Wolfson CollegeHolly Stephens Lecturer in Japanese and Korean Studies at the University of EdinburghAnd Derek Kramer Lecturer in Korean Studies at the University of SheffieldProducer: Simon TillotsonReading list:Isabella Bird Bishop, Korea and her Neighbors: A Narrative of Travel, With an Account of the Recent Vicissitudes and Present Position of the Country (first published 1898; Forgotten Books, 2019)Vipan Chandra, Imperialism, Resistance and Reform in Late Nineteenth-Century Korea: Enlightenment and the Independence Club (University of California, Institute of East Asian Studies, 1988)Peter Duus, The Abacus and the Sword: The Japanese Penetration of Korea, 1859-1910 (University of California Press, 1995)Carter J.

Will Doctor gives you the sharpest card for Saturday morning four-ball picks at the Presidents Cup! For more on the world of golf, follow Doc on X @drmedai59  In this episode of the Golf Preview Podcast on Pregame's Network, host Will Docter delves into Friday's disappointing results during the 15th Presidents Cup, providing in-depth analysis, player statistics, and insights into team performances. Below is a breakdown of the key moments: Friday's Recap & Player Analysis: [Will Docter] (0:39 - 13:30) Will discusses the complete turnaround from Thursday's domination by Team USA to Friday's losses in the foursome sessions. Below are detailed match analyses: Match 6: Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im vs. Patrick Cantlay and Xander Schauffele Matsuyama and Im stunned Cantlay and Schauffele with seven consecutive birdies, finishing 7 and 6. The Japanese-Korean duo, ranked low in strokes gained on Day 1, were in top five by the end of Friday. Key Quote: "Seven straight birdies is flat-out impressive stuff in any format" (0:47). Analysis: Matsuyama and Im displayed exceptional form, outperforming Cantlay and Schauffele in every aspect, particularly in putting. Match 7: Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith vs. Sahith Theegala and Collin Morikawa Pendrith continued his solid performance, paired with Scott who had a fantastic day on the greens. Theegala struggled, having the second-worst day on the course. Analysis: Theegala's weak putting, combined with Morikawa's subpar form, left them outmatched despite Morikawa's solid ball striking. Match 8: Christiaan Bezuidenhout and Jason Day vs. Max Homa and Brian Harman Homa had a strong day with his driving, but Harman's poor showing left the pair vulnerable. Team USA Analysis: Homa and Harman couldn't recover, losing 1-up in a closely contested match. Day and Bezuidenhout capitalized on their putting despite not playing their best. Match 9: Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes vs. Wyndham Clark and Tony Finau The Canadians made seven birdies, ending the match on 13, while Clark and Finau could not make their putts. Key Stat: Both Finau and Clark had negative strokes gained with their irons. Analysis: The home crowd support for Conners and Hughes gave them a needed boost as Team USA faltered. Match 10: Si Woo Kim and Byeong Hun An vs. Scottie Scheffler and Russell Henley Si Woo Kim excelled with birdies on 12, 13, and 15, and a clutch par putt to close the match. Scheffler admitted that Henley rolled the ball well but couldn't capitalize on his chances. Analysis: Si Woo's ability to thrive in high-pressure situations made the difference, showcasing his incredible match-play abilities. Saturday Picks & Predictions: [Will Docter] (13:30 - 17:00) Match 11: Scottie Scheffler and Collin Morikawa vs. Adam Scott and Taylor Pendrith Favorite: Scheffler and Morikawa (-205). Prediction: Despite Morikawa's shaky putting, Will leans toward Team USA based on Scheffler's solid ball striking and world number one ranking. Match 12: Tony Finau and Xander Schauffele vs. Corey Conners and Mackenzie Hughes Underdog: Conners and Hughes (+141). Prediction: Will favors the Canadians, citing their recent form and Finau's ongoing struggles with the greens. Match 13: Si Woo Kim and Tom Kim vs. Keegan Bradley and Wyndham Clark Favorite: Si Woo and Tom Kim (-117). Prediction: Will is confident in the chemistry between the Kims, emphasizing Si Woo's clutch performance on Friday. Match 14: Patrick Cantlay and Sam Burns vs. Hideki Matsuyama and Sungjae Im Even Money: Will predicts the Internationals will continue their momentum, doubting Cantlay and Burns' ability to perform under pressure. Closing Remarks: [Will Docter] (17:00 - End) Will concludes by discussing his plan for Saturday's afternoon session, hinting at potential picks for Sunday singles based on Saturday's results.
