What good is reaching the finish line first if you no longer recognize—or respect—the person who crossed it?We live in a world obsessed with winning.Get the promotion. Close the deal. Reach the goal. Beat the competition. Prove that you are the best.But there is a question we do not ask nearly enough:What is your success costing you?If achieving your goal requires you to compromise your integrity, damage your relationships, tear down other people, or lose yourself along the way, did you really win anything?In Week 8 of the Summer Shift series, Kevin Lowe challenges the belief that where you finish matters more than how you ran the race. Through a memorable sandcastle competition at the beach, he reveals why success built through shortcuts, selfishness, or sabotage will always leave you feeling empty—even when everyone else thinks you won.Press play and discover how to pursue your goals with ambition, integrity, and purpose without sacrificing the person you want to become.In This Episode, You'll DiscoverWhy winning can still feel empty when it costs you your characterHow shortcuts and compromised values quietly destroy your self-respectWhy helping other people succeed does not diminish your own successHow to remain competitive without becoming selfish or ruthlessWhy the person you become during the journey matters more than your final positionHow to pursue meaningful success while protecting your relationships and integrityWhat it truly means to win in life—not merely on paperThe Problem With Winning at Any CostThere is nothing wrong with wanting to win.There is nothing wrong with setting ambitious goals, pursuing a promotion, growing a business, becoming the best at your craft, or pushing yourself beyond what you thought was possible.The problem begins when winning becomes the only thing that matters.A victory may look impressive from the outside. The numbers may be great. The bank account may be growing. Everyone may be applauding your accomplishments.But none of that can replace your integrity, your relationships, or the peace of knowing you earned your success honestly.Success that costs you your character is not success worth achieving.How to Win Without Losing Yourself1. Win With IntegrityDo not cheat, manipulate, or cut corners just because doing so could get you to the finish line faster.A shortcut may help you achieve the result, but it can rob you of the pride and self-respect that should come with it.Run your race in a way that allows you to look back and honestly say:I earned this. I remained true to myself. I am proud of how I showed up.2. Win by Lifting Other PeopleCompetition does not require cruelty.You can be driven, ambitious, and fiercely competitive without tripping the person running beside you. Helping another person does not take away from your own opportunity to succeed.A rising tide lifts all boats.The greatest victories are rarely the ones we celebrate alone. They are the ones that allow us to grow while helping the people around us rise, too.3. Win by Becoming Someone BetterThe short-term goal may be reaching the finish line.The greater goal is becoming a stronger, wiser, more grounded person by the time you get there.Ask yourself:Who am I becoming while pursuing this goal?Am I proud of how I am treating people?Am I building character or merely collecting accomplishments?Will this journey leave me fulfilled when the applause ends?When the journey transforms you into someone you respect, your final position no longer determines whether you won.Your Summer Shift ChallengeThink about one goal you are currently pursuing.It could involve your career, finances, health, relationships, business, or personal development.Now ask yourself:Am I pursuing this goal in a way that will make me proud of who I become?Do not focus only on the finish line. Consider how you are running the race, how you are treating the people around you, and whether your daily choices align with the person you want to be.Because eventually, just like a sandcastle washed away by the incoming tide, the trophies, titles, and temporary victories will disappear.What remains is your character, the lives you touched, and the person you became along the way.Listen, Follow, and Keep GrowingFollow Grit, Grace, & Inspiration so you never miss a new episode of encouragement, perspective, and practical personal growth.Listen and follow on Apple PodcastsListen and follow on SpotifyExplore more episodes and inspirationNew episodes are released every Tuesday morning.Connect and Work With Kevin LoweBring Kevin to Your Next EventLooking for an inspirational keynote speaker who can help your audience reimagine limitations, reframe adversity, and move forward with courage and perspective?Learn more about inspirational speaker Kevin LoweTurn Your Story Into a Custom SongK-Lowe Music creates original custom songs around the people, stories, milestones, and messages that matter most.Create your free Custom Song BlueprintRemember ThisIt is not only about where you finish.It is about how you run the race.Run it with integrity.

It's summer and you'd rather be outside doing the things you can only do this time of year than stuck inside at the gym. BUT, you also don't want to lose everything you've been building.So how do you balance enjoying your summer without losing your gains?Well, it depends on how you're spending your summer.

Die Autobranche ist unter Druck, das liegt an der deutlich gesunkenen Nachfrage und der rasanten Entwicklung der Konkurrenz aus China. Ein Podcast von Pragmaticus.Das Thema:Die europäische Autoindustrie steckt in der Krise: schwache Absatzzahlen, Überkapazitäten, Stellenabbau und Rückstände bei Software und Batterien. Doch für Beatrix Keim, Direktorin am deutschen Center Automotive Research, ist die Lage zwar ernst, die Aussichten aber sind durchwegs positiv.Im Gespräch erklärt sie, warum sie die aktuellen Schlagzeilen über Massenentlassungen für Panikmache hält, was europäische Hersteller von China lernen können und weshalb nicht nur Tempo, sondern auch Qualität und Sicherheit über die Zukunft entscheiden. Ihr Befund: Europa hat die strategische Industriepolitik Chinas zu lange unterschätzt – und muss jetzt schneller, klüger und entschlossener handeln, ohne seine eigenen Stärken preiszugeben. Außerdem erklärt sie, warum sie es nicht notwendig hat, mit einem Konzernboss in den Lift zu steigen. Unser Gast in dieser Folge: Beatrix Keim ist Direktorin des CAR Center Automotive Research in Duisburg und seit 2025 Inhaberin einer Beratung für die Bereiche Automotive in China. Davor war sie in unterschiedlichen Positionen bei Automobilherstellern, Beratungen und Dienstleistern im Management tätig. Sie hat in China, Deutschland und Großbritannien gearbeitet und lebt heute in der Nähe von Aschaffenburg.Dies ist ein Podcast von Der Pragmaticus.

you say you want to look lean, strong and defined…but every time your body feels a little fuller, the scale rises or your leggings feel tighter, you react as though you've done something wrong.so let's be honest for a second.do you want to build muscle… or do you only want to build muscle while still receiving all the comforting little signs of dieting?because those are not the same thing.this episode is for you if you train consistently but still feel soft, struggle to see definition or keep wondering whether another calorie deficit would finally get rid of that last bit of fat.we're pulling apart the loop that keeps so many women stuck… progress slows, discomfort rises, the scale stops rewarding you, and suddenly you're changing programs, cutting calories or adding more cardio.not because the process has failed.because fat loss taught you to expect fast, visible reassurance. muscle growth asks you to keep showing up before the mirror gives you proof.your three mini wins from this episode:“always track your lifts, film your lifts.”“you want quality sets. not a lot of sets.”“you need to eat enough for long enough.”you'll learn why feeling bigger after increasing calories and carbs isn't automatically fat gain, why glycogen and water can make your muscles feel fuller, and why proper body recomposition depends on strategic strength training, recovery, protein, calories and patience.but the bigger insight is psychological…if one uncomfortable weigh in can send you back into restriction, the scale is not merely collecting data. it is still making decisions for you.leave me a Spotify comment and tell me the thought that appears when your body feels fuller. no polished answer. give me the real one.share this episode with someone who needs permission to stop shrinking and start building.and if you want to come onto the podcast to chat about your own body recomposition journey or struggles, send me a message. this show belongs to women who are ready to have the honest conversation.find me @transformxruby on instagramApply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkDirect link to DM me on IG:https://ig.me/m/transformxruby

What if the very thing that disqualifies you in the world's eyes is exactly what qualifies you in God's? Pastor Dave opens 1 Corinthians 1:26-29 with a bold, liberating truth: God has never once recruited from the ranks of the polished, the powerful, or the self-righteous. He deliberately chooses the foolish, the weak, the unknown, and the despised—not despite their brokenness, but because of their surrendered hearts. Pastor Dave points to Paul—a man who murdered Christians, held the coats of Stephen's killers—and asks the stunning question: if God chose *him* to write most of the New Testament and deliver the gospel to the Gentiles, what excuse do any of us have left? With raw, unfiltered passion, Pastor Dave dismantles the lie that shame, guilt, or a scarred past can disqualify you from your God-given destiny. The real barrier isn't your history—it's the pride that refuses to look foolish for God, the heart that won't submit, and the guilt the enemy uses as a leash. Today is your reset. Lift your hands, surrender your excuses, and let God write the next chapter—because your destiny is still your destiny.1 Corinthians 1:26-29For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. 27 But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty; 28 and the base things of the world and the things which are despised God has chosen, and the things which are not, to bring to nothing the things that are, 29 that no flesh should glory in His presence.
Opening Prayer "The sick man answered and said, I have no man to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up, but while I'm coming, another steps down before me. Jesus said to him, rise, take up your bed and walk." I am going to be sharing the word of God with you, and I do believe that you are going to experience a miracle. People are going to get set free, you're going to get delivered, you're going to see and begin to experience the miracle power of God that is available for you because of Jesus Christ, who died on a cross 2,000 years ago and paid the price for your sin. And because of his sacrifice, you can be reconnected to God. And being reconnected to God, there is a newness of life that is given to you. Jesus Christ himself said, "I came to give you life eternally, but I came also to give you life abundantly. I came to give you a reason to live. I came to give you a story of what I'm going to do in your life that only God can accomplish." And once the word of God is spoken and you've had an opportunity to respond, then you can celebrate that with us. Father God Almighty, I thank you for the anointing of your Holy Spirit. Lord, you told us years ago, cast the internet on the right side of the boat and I will bring in a harvest. And we obeyed you. And this prayer meeting is now in over 200 countries and dependencies around the world, and Lord, you're going to bring in a harvest. God, I thank you for the numbers of people who are going to come out of darkness and into light, out of captivity and into freedom, out of weakness and into strength, out of confusion into clarity of thought. God, you're going to send healing into homes, families, marriages, minds. God, you're going to deliver. Lord, we boast about you, we talk about you, but the work is all yours, and we acknowledge that. You have the power, and you proved your heart when you went to a cross. It wasn't just a vain display of your affection. Lord, there was power released when you were raised from the dead, and because of that, God, we have hope in this generation. Lord Jesus Christ, we ask you that the work that you came to do, you would do today. God, you would set free the oppressed, give sight to the blind. Let the poor have the treasure of heaven open to them, the strength of God revealed to them. Heal those that have been wounded so deeply they think they'll never recover. Bring healing into their lives. Lift up the weak. Set free, God, those that are captivated. And Lord, we ask you to do this for the glory of your name. Lord, it's time for you to work. God, the world is dark, the day is late, you're coming soon. We ask you, God, to move in miraculous power again in this generation. As you have done — we sing about it — do what you are famous for. Do what you have done, what you have displayed, what you've shown us, God. Clearly in the scriptures, we see your heart. You healed all who came to you. You never turned somebody away and said, come back some other time. You healed every person. We are here to declare your victory, your power, your heart, your cross, your work. And we do it in Jesus' name. Amen. The Pool of Bethesda — John 5 My message is called "Will You Be Made Whole?" John 5, beginning at verse 2: "Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool which is called in Hebrew Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of sick people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water." I think of the numbers of people who are exactly like this — sick, blind. You don't see a way forward. You don't have the strength to get up and move into what God has. You're paralyzed by fear, perhaps, and you're waiting for your divine moment. The moving of the water symbolizes a divine moment. It was the stirring of God, and whoever got up and got into the stirring of this water first was healed of whatever disease or circumstance they had. "For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water, that whoever stepped in first after the stirring of the water was made well of whatever disease he had. Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years." I want you to picture that. Can you imagine what this man felt like? Thirty-eight years lying there, unable to move, can't see a way forward. The only way forward is if he can make it into a divine moment in his life. He somehow knows that only God can make a difference. Thirty-eight years of hopelessness. "When Jesus saw him lying there, he knew that he had already been there in that condition a long time. And he said to him, 'Do you want to be made whole?'" "The sick man answered him, 'Sir, I have no man to put me in the pool when the water is stirred up. But while I'm coming, another steps down before me.'" In other words, maybe there were people there at one point saying, "Hey, we're going to do this together. We're going to get you through this. We're going to fight through this together." But after thirty-eight years, everybody gave up. There's nobody left. Nobody there to help him. All of the words of encouragement that would be spoken into this man's life are gone. There's just nobody there. It's only him. Don't you love it that when everybody's gone, Jesus Christ is still there? He is the one who sticks closer than a brother. He does not walk away from us in our struggle, in our time of difficulty. "Jesus said to him, 'Rise, take up your bed and walk.' And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed and walked. And that day was the Sabbath." Gary's Story — A Modern Miracle Several years ago, this prayer meeting used to be on a Tuesday night in New York City at Times Square Church. And requests were coming in from all over the world, but some were repetitive. There was this one that kept coming in from a place called Newfoundland in Canada, from a lady called Heather. She kept saying, "Pray for my husband Gary. My husband Gary is a drug addict. Everyone has given up on my husband Gary." As a matter of fact, in line with this passage, Gary had been a drug addict for 38 years. Gary had gone to every conceivable program known to humanity and nobody had been able to help him. He would always get out, maybe experience momentary victory, and then go back again into his old habits. He had a chair in the house and used to sit in that chair and do drugs — whatever kind, some of them were pretty hard drugs. Heather was watching this prayer meeting, this worldwide prayer meeting. And one night the Spirit of God came upon her and she went downstairs, got an axe, and chopped his chair to pieces in the living room. I told her she should write a pamphlet and call it the Book of Acts, according to Heather. She chopped Gary's chair to pieces in the living room and she said, "Satan, no more in this house. No more drugs in this house. No more debauchery in this house. No more captivity in this house — because I'm hearing something online. I'm hearing a message that I can be free. My marriage can be restored. My husband can be delivered." She kept giving those prayer requests week after week. Pray for my husband Gary and my son Liam, if I remember correctly. So one Tuesday night I got up and I saw that Heather had submitted another prayer request: pray for my husband Gary. And at that moment, the Holy Spirit came upon me. Now you and I need to learn this — especially the students here in this Bible school. We need to learn to cooperate with the Holy Spirit because we live a supernatural life. The Spirit of God is within us. And if we learn to cooperate with God, when God is moving and God is speaking, miracles start happening. I looked into the screen that night and I pointed my finger at the screen. I said, "Gary, listen to me. You are not a drug addict. God has called you to be an evangelist. You are an evangelist. You're not a drug addict." He'd been 38 years on drugs...

Lift the Shame: Mothering Free From Diet Culture, Food Guilt, and Body Shame
The Part of Me That Clings to ControlIn this episode of Lift the Shame: The Podcast, Crystal explores one of the tenderest places in eating disorder recovery and motherhood: the part of us that still reaches for control.For many mothers in recovery, control can feel especially shameful. You may deeply believe in food freedom, body trust, intuitive eating, and raising children without shame — and still feel something inside you tighten around snacks, sugar, appetite, body changes, meal routines, or uncertainty.But the controlling part of you is not your enemy. It may be a protector that learned control was the only way to feel safe.This episode gently reframes control not as proof that you are failing, but as a signal that something vulnerable inside you needs care. Crystal explores how control can show up around your child's eating, your own body, postpartum changes, family meals, and the fear of passing food and body shame on.In this episode, we explore:Why control can feel so comforting in eating disorder recoveryHow motherhood can activate old fears around food, bodies, and uncertaintyWhy the controlling part may be a protector, not the enemyThe difference between curiosity and obedience when fear shows upHow control can offer temporary relief but long-term fragilityWhat it means to build safety that is not dependent on controlling food or bodiesA gentle reflection practice for the moments when you feel the urge to grip tighterReflection question:What is this part of me trying to protect?Gentle practice:The next time you notice the urge to control around food, your body, your child's eating, snacks, sugar, exercise, or body changes, pause and gently ask:What is this part of me trying to protect?Then try saying:Thank you for trying to protect me. I know you are scared. But control is not the only way we can feel safe now.Gentle reminder:There is a part of me that wants control right now. That part makes sense. And that part does not have to lead.Join Lift the ShameIf this conversation named something you've been carrying quietly, I'd love to invite you to Lift the Shame, my free monthly support group for mothers and moms-to-be in eating disorder recovery.It is a gentle space to be with other mothers who understand this overlap — motherhood, recovery, food, body image, control, feeding triggers, and the fear of passing it on.You don't have to carry this alone.Learn more about Lift the Shame and join here: https://www.crystalkarges.com/lift-the-shame-online-support-group Get full access to Lift The Shame: The Column at crystalkarges.substack.com/subscribe
Some conversations deserve to be heard again.This week, we are re-releasing one of the most meaningful episodes in the history of the Disrupt Education Podcast in memory of our friend, educator, mentor, and extraordinary human being, Jen Sharp.Jen tragically lost her life on June 14, 2026, while doing what she loved most: serving others through the sport of skydiving. As the United States Parachute Association's Director of Technology, a longtime instructor, examiner, mentor, and former drop zone owner, Jen dedicated her life to helping people grow with confidence, purpose, and humility.For Alli, Jen was much more than a guest. She was a mentor, evaluator, and friend whose influence continues to shape not only her skydiving journey but also the way she approaches teaching and learning.When we aired this conversation in December 2024, we couldn't have known it would become such an incredible time capsule.Listening back today, Jen's words feel timeless.She reminds us that:Learning happens by doing.Great teachers know when to step back.Making mistakes isn't failure—it's where learning begins.Growth comes from embracing change instead of fearing it.Sometimes the simplest ideas become the most transformational.Using powerful stories from thousands of skydives, Jen draws remarkable parallels between education, leadership, fear, curiosity, and purpose. Whether you've ever considered jumping from an airplane or not, her perspective will challenge the way you think about teaching, learning, and living.If you've never heard this episode, we hope you'll discover why Jen left such a lasting impact on everyone fortunate enough to know her.If you listened when it first aired, we invite you to hear it again. Her wisdom carries even greater meaning today.Jen believed that education should never stop, that curiosity should always win, and that we're all capable of more than we realize.Her legacy lives on in every student she inspired, every instructor she mentored, every skydiver she encouraged, and every life she touched.Thank you, Jen.Blue skies and forever grateful.For donations and celebration of life information please visit https://www.jenlallosharp.com/Powered by YouScience Brightpath.YouScience Brightpath, the next generation platform helping students make personalized decisions as they move from education to career.

In this episode, Adam is back and we're talking about the X physique, body recomposition, training quality, scale obsession, and why so many women keep trying to diet their way into a body that actually needs to be built.if another diet was going to give you the body you want, wouldn't it have worked by now? not in a mean way. in a “let's actually be honest with ourselves for a second” way.We get into the stuff that most fitness content skips over — like why your clothes might not always get looser when you're building muscle, why the scale is a terrible recomp coach, why influencer “shreds” can mess with your head, and why feeling wrecked in the gym doesn't automatically mean you're giving your muscles the right stimulus.Because yes, fat loss has its place.But if you want that lean, strong, feminine, “she actually lifts” look, you need muscle. And you don't build that by constantly cutting, program hopping, under-fuelling your sessions, panicking over water weight, or using the scale as your main source of validation. If you want to stop that cycle, and learn WHERE to focus so you can progress – in a way that compounds – let me teach you.Let's see what could be missing from your approach and how we can make your efforts actually countYou at least deserve that! DM me “episode #483” on Instagram @transformxruby… and lets talk about itbecause if you keep losing weight, gaining it back, cleaning things up, chasing the scale, feeling soft, panicking when your clothes feel tighter, then going back into another deficit… maybe the issue is not that you haven't pushed hard enough.maybe you're trying to diet your way into a body you haven't built.6 mini wins from this episode:ask yourself if you've built enough muscle first.. And what happened last time you told yourself the same answerstop using the scale as your recomp coach when the goal is shape, strength and muscle.look at your training and ask, “was that actually the right stimulus, or did it just feel hard?notice where you're still using fat loss behaviours to chase a muscle-building outcome.stop treating “smaller” as the only proof that your body is improving.take your next workout seriously enough to ask, “am i building the muscle, or just surviving the session?”find me @transformxruby on instagramApply for a free consult:https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfqaxMDfbPYPYVui3BgSClnDXTj4BWjRvPkbBHuK5CP7SQsIw/viewform?usp=sf_linkDirect link to DM me on IG:https://ig.me/m/transformxrubyPS ------→ if you struggle with losing fat, building muscle and seeing the tighter, toned lookIt COULD actually be your lack of discipline. Maybe even lack of willpower. But what it is NOT – is your fault. 3 You've burnt that shit out because of the mental purgatory you've been in –trying to see results, lean up, diet…And that's exactly what we, as women especially, have been sold endlessly. Ruthlessly,. You'd be even more damned if you are 40yo +… bc now you're really targeted by marketing wanting your $$ And this is where my best clients win…→ they learn what matters and start chasing something exciting againThat? Creates the buy-in that leads to the stay-in I WISH you could know, you can experience, how much smoother the process can be, how much less of a headf*kUntil you finally get to experience a fat loss phase that works as it should… and you STILL feel in control by the end of it. ---

You can be walking with God and still walk through painful places. Following Jesus does not mean we avoid hurt, opposition, or discomfort. But it does mean we are never without His presence. In this REVING the Word workout, Alisa Keeton explores Luke 10:17-20 and the authority Jesus gives His followers. When the 72 disciples returned amazed by what God had done through them, Jesus reminded them that their greatest victory was not what they accomplished, but that their names were written in heaven. Followers of Jesus will experience hurt. We will face resistance and walk through hard things. But when you are anchored in Jesus, "you won't be wrong." Press play, move your body, open your heart, and let His Word move in you. Anchor Scriptures Luke 10:17–20 Luke 9 Luke 12:32 Hebrews 11:1 Psalm 139 New to REVING the Word? Your body was created to carry the presence and purpose of God. In REVING the Word episodes, we don't just listen to Scripture; we practice it. We let God's truth move from our ears into our hearts and through our bodies. Move however you want. Walk. Lift. Stretch. Dance. There is no "right" way. As you move your body, remember: you were made for more than sitting on the sidelines. You were created to walk in the authority Jesus gives you.

What are you fighting under? This weekend Pastor Joaquin Pardo continued our MOSES: Live No Lies series with a message about how God's people fight spiritual battles.Whenever Moses held up his hand, Israel prevailed, and whenever he lowered his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands grew weary, so Aaron and Hur held up his hands, one on one side, and the other on the other side. So his hands were steady until the going down of the sun. And Joshua overwhelmed Amalek and his people with the sword.Exodus 17:11-13Israel had already been delivered from Egypt, but their journey still included opposition. They were no longer fighting for freedom, they were fighting from freedom.The same is true for us. Jesus has already won the decisive victory over sin and death, but every believer still faces spiritual opposition.1) You have to fight.Joshua didn't get to choose whether Amalek showed up. His decision was whether he would engage in the battle. Similarly, we don't choose whether spiritual warfare is real. We cannot experience victory while refusing to fight. We must stop allowing fear, shame, temptation, bitterness, and compromise to bully us into accepting a life God never intended for us. We must decide in our hearts that the enemy does not get another inch.2) Fight faithfully. Fight prayerfully.Joshua fought in the valley, but the battle's outcome was connected to what Moses was doing on the mountain. The sword mattered, but the sword was not the source of victory. Connecting the Lord to the battle was. We do the same today through prayer. Prayer does not make God powerful. Prayer reminds us who is powerful. You cannot win spiritual battles using only physical strategies. Practical obedience matters, but spiritual battles require spiritual dependence.3) Your fight is my fight.When Moses grew tired, Aaron and Hur noticed and moved toward him. They did not wait for Moses to ask for help. They lifted the hands he could no longer lift himself. Victory in the Kingdom of God is never meant to be experienced alone. The church should be filled with people who notice the hurting, the weary, the lonely, and the discouraged and then move into action.4) Fight with The Lord as your banner.When the battle was over, Joshua didn't take the credit. Moses didn't take the credit. Aaron and Hur didn't take the credit. Moses built an altar and called it Jehovah-Nissi —The Lord Is My Banner.A banner gave soldiers identity, direction, courage, and hope in the confusion of battle. When they became afraid or disoriented, they looked toward the banner and remembered that they were not fighting alone.Our Banner is Jesus. Our Banner was lifted up on a cross. He bled, died, rose again, and now reigns in victory. The battle may still be real tomorrow, but don't spend your life staring at Amalek.Lift your eyes to your Banner. The Lord is our Banner.
I'd like to think that plastic is an apolitical subject. None of us want to see our environment or our bodies polluted with this stuff, and so it brings me great pleasure to focus on one of the biggest overlaps of our times: the quest to reduce plastic in our bodies and our environment. We've done a few shows on this over the years, and this week is wonderful.Let me introduce you to Kal Glanznig. He's a filmmaker, a counsellor in his local government area, and a leading youth ocean and climate champion. He's also a young man of 25 who got his body tested for phthalate levels due to concerns for future fertility and was shocked to see how high his levels were, as he considered himself having a very healthy nature-focused lifestyle. He's created documentaries, Rising Up, back in 2024, and this year just released The Plastic Country. He's a multiple TEDx and UN COP speaker, and he's driven by the motto "Change Happens Locally". In high school, he led a 100 kW solar project, leading to 20 schools to follow suit. This guy is definitely not someone who rests on his laurels. He is here to effect change.Kal is on a mission to make it clear that if we don't shape the policies that make things truly better at every stage of government, then chances are we just keep going in swings and roundabouts on social media, either trying to raise awareness or trying to complain about how nothing is happening.

The world can be a scary place – so many things that strike fear in our hearts. And yet over and over again, God says "Do Not be Afraid." What does that mean? How does that work? Spiders and Snakes I don't know about you but as I look around, it seems to me that the world can be a scary place. Take spiders and snakes – I mean, depending on where you live in this world, they are either dangerous or they're not. Here in Australia we are seriously over represented in the world's "top ten" list of most venomous creatures, so when I was growing up as a child I had good reason to be afraid of them. And still today, the idea of a spider crawling into my bed … ! It's one of the scariest thoughts I can come up with. Let me tell you a funny story. One of the most venomous snakes on the planet is the death adder – great name isn't it? When I was in the Army training to be an officer at the Royal Military College Duntroon, we were one day out doing some grenade practice and that meant you had to sit in bunkers and the person who was throwing the grenade would go out and throw their grenade. Now we had New Zealanders as well as Australians at the Royal Military College and in New Zealand there are no venomous animals at all, so when the Kiwis come across the ditch to Australia, they are petrified of our snakes and our spiders. Well one Kiwi, we'll call him Rock – I've got to tell you this death adder story. He went out of the bunker to go and throw his grenade and we had a dead death adder. So we positioned it in the bunker so he had to sit down right next to it when he came in. Well he came in and he sat down and he looked at it and I've got to tell you, his legs were going before his backside was up off the log and he was running out. We can laugh about it now but the world can be a scary place, especially with friends like me. In my defence I was a young man at the time. So this week we are starting a new series on the programme, it's called "Do Not be Afraid". There is a reason for that – there are lots of people in this world who spend much of their lives living in fear. Sometimes it's because they are living in a war zone – I mean there are plenty of people listening to this programme today who know that only too well. People in the Democratic Republic of Congo for instance, where there is war raging in parts right now – some of those people are sitting in their homes listening to this programme today wondering whether they will see tomorrow or next week or next year. Other times there are different life threatening things that happen. We can have a health scare. The morning I sat down to prepare this message was the morning of the funeral of a friend of mine. Now, he was just a couple of years older than me and he died suddenly of a heart attack. It's easy to be afraid – and it rocks our confidence. And yet other people, they just live lives with a real sense of dread. There is always something there for us to be afraid of or to dread. There is always something lurking out there. For me honestly, if I allowed it, I could be afraid of quite a few things. I mean, I have some things in my life right now that could cause me to experience fear – and that's the thing. It doesn't matter who we are or where we live or … whatever, we all go through times of fear. And that fear can rob us of life itself but time and time and time again, you read in God's Word, these words from God to His people. He says, "Do not be afraid." And He speaks them right at the time when the people He is talking to have every reason to be afraid. They have got people and circumstances coming against them and conspiring against them and they're experiencing fear and yet God wades in and says, "Do not be afraid." Now if God doesn't want me to be afraid when I have every reason to be afraid, you know something? I want to have a piece of His brand of confidence. Don't you think? I mean, think about it! What's the point of God saying, "Do not be afraid", when we have no reason to fear? It's right in the middle of our fear that we need His confidence. I definitely want that – how about you? Well, how can we have that confidence? That's a good question – that's what today's programme is about – that's what this whole four week series is about … "Do not be afraid." So I invite you to come on a journey with me. We are going to start that journey with an account of a time when God's chosen people, Israel, had every reason to be afraid. They were in exile – they had been living in the Promised Land for about five hundred years and yet they had struggled with God. They had worshipped idols and other gods and eventually the Lord their God lost His patience. So in around 586BC, the Babylonians, who were the dominant world power of the day, invaded Jerusalem. They destroyed the place – they destroyed the temple, the place where God's presence dwelt and they took this remnant of God's people back to Babylon as slaves. Talk about a crisis of confidence! Think about it – God made all these promises to Abraham and to Isaac and Jacob and then when Israel was enslaved in Egypt, He sent Moses and did amazing miracles and the whole Red Sea thing and the exodus and the manna from heaven … everything that got them to the Promised Land. And when they got there, with Joshua as their leader, they fought battle after battle against nation after nation that was bigger and stronger than Israel itself and yet God was with His chosen people and they took the land that God had promised them. And now … now Babylon wins! God's own temple is destroyed! Where is God? What happened? Are the Babylonian gods stronger than our God? They have a loss of confidence – it's a big thing. I mean we hear people talking about shareholder confidence and consumer confidence and that feeling when you go to sleep at night, you know, you get that falling sensation and you wake up in a panic, grabbing onto the bed. Confidence is the trust that the earth beneath our feet won't move. It's the trust that the stock market won't fall; it's the trust that the plane we are flying in won't fall off the sky; it's the trust that our governments will do the right thing – it's about trusting, whatever. And then, it's like the rug gets pulled out from under your feet and you lose confidence and panic and fear set in. Why? Because we no longer feel safe – we are no longer able to trust in the things that we have always trusted in. That's where Israel was – there was a complete loss of confidence in their God. Now He was punishing them but they couldn't quite see that. It was like they were flying in a plane at thirty two thousand feet above the ground and all of a sudden, all the engines are silent – panic, fear! And fair enough too! So what does God say to them right in the middle of their fear and panic ... what does God have to say? We are going to take a look at that next. I am Your God So here is Israel in this scary, fearful place. They have in slavery, exiled in Babylon for the best part of three generations – that's a long time – so only a handful of Israel's elders who can even remember Jerusalem in its heyday. So what does God have to say to these people of His who are cowering in fear under the yoke of slavery? If you have got a Bible, grab it and open it up at Isaiah chapter 41, beginning at verse 8 – he says this: But you Israel, My servant Jacob whom I have chosen, the offspring of Abraham, My friend; you whom I took from the ends of the earth and called from its farthest corner, saying to you, "You are My servant, I have chosen you and not cast you off. Do not fear for I am with you. Do not be afraid for I am your God. I will strengthen you, I will help you, I will uphold you with My victorious right hand. See, the first thing that God does is He reminds them of His promises to Abraham. When Abraham stood in that Promised Land, centuries before, this is what God promised him – just flick back to Genesis chapter 15, verse 18: On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abraham, saying, "To your descendants I give this land; from the river of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates, the land of the Kenites and the Kenizzites and the Kadmonites and the Hittites and the Perizzites and the Rephaim and the Amorites and the Canaanites and the Girgashites and the Jebusites. See, God's promise is that God had chosen them; God had chosen Abraham, their ancestor, God had promised this land and God said, "I will do this." Notice it is all about God! Do not fear, I am with you; I am your God; I will strengthen you. I will help you; I will uphold you with My victorious right hand. The whole thing that God relies on here in talking to His people in their fear and in their despair, is not who they are or how strong they are or how clever they are, or how well they have done because they haven't, they are there being punished. No, He is saying to them, "Look who I am, My promise, I am your God, I am with you," but how does that help them? Isn't He the God who failed them seventy years earlier? Okay, so He sends them some prophet, Isaiah, to tell them this – BIG DEAL! And that may well be what you are going through right now. You look at your circumstances – they are so fearful! Okay, so God sends you some joker on the radio with a smooth voice who says "Do not be afraid", but how can you put your confidence in that? It was exactly the same problem that the Israelites had. Their circumstances, the Babylonians, looked so much bigger than their God. I mean, you think about it in your head and you know God is bigger than the things that we are confronting but in your heart, it's so hard to believe in your heart – the fear is destroying any confidence that you might have in God. God knew that – that's why He also said this to them: have a listen to this … this is powerful stuff! So let's pick it up in Isaiah chapter 40 – this is the chapter before the one we have been looking at, verse 18. Have a listen to what God says about Himself: To whom then were you likening God or what likeness compare with Him, an idol? A workman casts it and a goldsmith overlays it with gold and casts for it silver chains. As a gift one chooses mulberry wood – wood that will not rot – then seeks out a skilled artisan to set up an image that will not topple. Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? Hasn't it been told to you from the beginning? Haven't you understood from the foundations of the earth? It is He who sits above the circle of the earth and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches the heavens out like a curtain and spreads them like a tent to live in; who brings princes to nothing and makes rulers of the earth as nothing. Scarcely are they planted, scarcely are they sown, scarcely has their stem taken root in the earth, when He blows upon them and they wither and the tempest carries them off like stubble. "To whom then will you compare Me, or who is My equal?" says the Holy One. Lift up your eyes on high and see: Who created these? He who brings out their host and numbers them, calling them by name, because He is great in strength and mighty in power, not one of them is missing. Why do you say, O Jacob, and speak, O Israel, "My way is hidden from the Lord and my right is disregarded by my God?" Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint and grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable." Do you see how powerful this is? God is saying, "Look, I am God. I created the whole shooting match. See those trillions of stars up there – lift up your eyes, have a look, who do you reckon put them there? I know the Babylonians worship them but I created them. They are out there every night because I tell them to march out there. This is Me who is talking to you – not some crummy idol like the stuff that Babylonians worship – I am bigger than your circumstances. It makes absolute sense to put your confidence in Me.' See, God is speaking this stuff into the hearts of His people when they are afraid; when they have no hope and no future, God comes along and says, "Do not be afraid. Not because of who you are; not because of your circumstances, no, do not be afraid because of who I am. I will come to help you; I will fight your battles for you; I will be your God; I will keep My promises to you." A Part for God to Play The hardest thing I think in overcoming fear in life is actually getting to the point where we have a high level of confidence in God; in who God is, what He has done – His might and His power and His sovereignty. That all sounds great in theory but what about the practice; what about when the rubber hits the road, then what? See, I used to think it was up to me and I guess in part it is, but not completely. That's just as well because you and I, we're human. We can't conjure up confidence; we can't take this theory about who God is and let the theory somehow wipe away the fear because fear is real. Now, I need something more than that; I need something more than promises on paper and fortunately, that's exactly what God had planned too. He didn't want to leave it all up to us – He wants us to actually experience His peace – not our strength – but a "peace" and a "strength" that come from Him and Him alone. Let's pick up the rest of this story in Isaiah chapter 40, beginning at verse 28. This is what it says: Haven't you known? Haven't you heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; His understanding is unsearchable. Great, there was the theory again! But now, watch for what comes next! Verse 29: He gives power to the faint and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and be weary, and the young will fall exhausted but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. Do you see the point? The power and the strength, where do they come from – do you or I conjure them up? No, they come from God. He gives those things to us, why? Even youths will faint and be weary and the young and the strong will fall exhausted, but….." And here's the 'but' – the glorious, wondrous, powerful 'but,' "but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not grow faint." You know what it means to wait? It does not mean to wait with a bad attitude; it does not mean to wait with grumbling in our hearts and on our lips; it doesn't mean to stand there paralysed by fear either. No, it means to wait expectantly; to wait on God with the expectation that He is who He says He is and that He will do what He says He is going to do. To wait, right in the middle of our fear – boy that's hard – with our emotions on a rollercoaster; with our enemies around us; with our hearts cast down but with an expectation, never the less, that somewhere deep inside, that God is going to act. Who knows – will God give us victory over our enemies today? I don't know! I mean there were more Christians martyred in the twentieth century than in the whole two thousand years before that, combined. We all die sometimes – is He going to heal this cancer or let it take its course? I don't know! But this one thing I do know, that: those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they will mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. God is saying, indeed He is commanding us through His Word today, "Do not be afraid" instead, wait on Him. You know, when we are waiting in fear and when we are waiting in pain and when we are waiting and it is uncomfortable and unpleasant, we want to grumble and whinge and complain and blame everyone else and have bad stuff coming out of our mouths and have grumbling in our hearts … isn't that what we want to do? We don't like being uncomfortable; we don't like being afraid, we just want it all to finish – "God what are You doing? Come on, move along, let's get over this." But those who wait….who wait expectantly for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint. See, come what may, if I am diagnosed tomorrow with terminal cancer, I still am going to put my confidence in God who has given me a life eternal with Him. Because Jesus said to His disciples when they were afraid…..listen to this, John chapter 14, verse 27: Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I don't give it to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled; do not let them be afraid. And yet, so far as we know, each of these disciples, other than Judas, went on to do mighty things for God and then … then they died for their faith. So often, we are focused on the here and now but God's plan for my life and for your life is a life eternal. God's perspective is an eternal perspective and that … that my friend is why you and I can put our confidence in Him. When we are afraid ... when we are in this place that is so scary, we can go to His Word and say, "You know what it says – it says here that 'those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength'." You know, you never feel big; you never feel strong when you are waiting for God. When we are afraid we feel so small – you know, I think God means it to be that way. When we humble ourselves and we just come before God and say, "God, I can't do this. I don't know. I'm afraid; I don't know what to do next. I'm just going to wait on You. I'm just going to wait for You – I don't know what You are going to do – I don't know if You are going to show up, I don't know if You are going to talk, I don't know. I am going to put my faith in You and I am going to wait on You and I know my emotions are going to go up and down. I know it is going to be hard but I'm just going to wait for my God." That's an eternal perspective – that's a God perspective. Jesus had to put His faith in God. Jesus lay all His glory aside and He was there in the Garden of Gethsemane, just before He was crucified – struggling – He was afraid and He was hurting and He just put His trust in God. Do not be afraid. God gives us His peace; that's what this passage from Isaiah says: "Those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength," the strength comes from God. The "mounting up with eagles" doesn't come because we flap a lot; it comes because we waited on God. The 'running and not being weary' comes from God. "Do not be afraid" – take God's peace from Him – go and wait ... just go and wait before Him and let Him pour His love and His peace into your life. It doesn't matter how big or bad or ugly the enemy is. It doesn't matter how fearful we are. It doesn't matter how dire the consequences of this particular situation might be. Why? Because God is the God who created the whole shooting match – every star in the sky, every part of creation -–God created it. God has an eternal perspective and when we wait on Him, He gives us His peace. That's the promise my friend! "Do not be afraid." Let your confidence rest in God Himself and then, let Him do the rest. Wait on the Lord and you shall renew your strength. Wait on the Lord and you shall mount up with wings like an eagle. That's the promise – it's a God thing!

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded. As a result, they "get creative" and "try new things" based on what is popular or trending, or they get comfortable with where they are at and don't realize the dangers they will be facing in just a few short years.The Perfect Vision Dinner Course is a 20-week "live video" course that addresses this problem head on. The course was developed by Jim Dempsey after 38+ years as a Senior Development Director at Cru. After Jim had personally done over 2,500 vision dinners in his lifetime and raised over $1 billion worldwide, Jim and Jason have partnered together to bring you Fundraising Masterminds.

Become a DIEHARD! alldlls.com/diehard An ALLCITY Network Production The Texas Rangers snapped a two-game losing streak and pushed the Angels' losing streak to seven with an 8-3 victory Tuesday night at Globe Life Field. Jacob deGrom pitched well over five innings before leaving with a hip injury that he said will not prevent him from making his next start. The Rangers got big offensive contributions from Justin Foscue, who hit a pinch-hit homer and drove in another run in a five-run eighth, and Alejandro Osuna, who hit a three-run homer to cap the big eighth. Nicky Lopez and Ezequiel Duran also delivered. No one was expecting that foursome to be key contributors for the Rangers, but they are and their contributions have been welcomed.

Every time I go to the gym, I see it: women who are showing up, putting in the time, and quietly sabotaging their own results without knowing it.Today I wanted to share five things I see over and over again that are stopping women from getting the results they could be getting from the time they're putting in.If you're already lifting and you want more results, you want to get even stronger and build more muscle, make sure you're NOT doing one of these.Enjoy the show!Resources mentioned:Free workout tracker >Strength Training Membership > Send me your thoughts
The biggest controversy so far in the World Cup has President Trump’s name all over it and the irony isn’t lost on anyone. After Trump put a call into the FIFA president to review a red card given to US star Folarin Balogun, FIFA reversed the decision allowing Balogun to play tonight against Belgium. It’s a move FIFA has not made since 1962 and it’s a for a player who is only considered an American, because of the very right President Trump has been trying to take away: birthright citizenship. Belgium officials have officially appealed FIFA’s reversal, but with just hours to go until the match, it seems likely Balogun will, in fact, be on the field tonight for the United States.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you've been told that menopause means muscle loss, weight gain, and declining strength are inevitable, the science says otherwise. In this episode, world-renowned strength scientist Dr. Eric Helms explains what actually drives body composition changes during perimenopause and menopause and why progressive strength training, good sleep, and consistent nutrition matter far more than chasing the latest social media trends. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN Why sleep disruption during perimenopause may be the biggest hidden driver of fat gain, poor recovery, and stalled progress Why progressive overload not lifting the heaviest weights possible is the key to building muscle and protecting bone health Whether women really need to train with heavy 5x5 programs or if moderate weights and higher reps work just as well How many sets, reps, and weekly training sessions are actually needed to build muscle after 40 Why muscle building should take priority over endless fat-loss cycles if you want to improve your shape and body composition The biggest myths about training timing, fasted workouts, cortisol, and "optimal" exercise routines How much cardio you really need for longevity, metabolic health, and body composition Whether women can build significant muscle in their 40s, 50s, and beyond even if they've never lifted weights before What the evidence actually says about menopause hormone therapy (HRT), testosterone therapy, muscle growth, and body composition How much protein you really need for muscle growth, fat loss, and healthy ageing and why total daily intake matters more than perfect meal timing Whether collagen supplements truly improve connective tissue and skin health according to the latest research TIMESTAMPS 00:00 Why body composition changes during perimenopause00:31 What's really happening physiologically during menopause01:10 Why sleep becomes the biggest factor affecting results03:25 How poor sleep impacts muscle gain and fat loss06:20 Bloating, water retention, and hormonal changes explained08:55 The biggest mistakes women make during menopause11:20 Why resistance training is the most important intervention16:50 Do women really need to lift heavy?22:30 How to build muscle and improve body shape after 4026:30 The ideal rep ranges, training intensity, and volume30:57 How much training is actually enough?37:56 Cardio for longevity, health, and body composition42:53 Can women still achieve incredible results in their 40s and 50s?49:00 The truth about hormone replacement therapy and testosterone54:35 Protein recommendations explained01:06:00 Does collagen actually work?01:09:18 Final takeaways A BIG thank you to our sponsors who make the show possible:
In this message, Andy Lowry invites us to discover a bigger view of God—one that moves beyond the version we can easily understand or control. As we explore God's greatness and the way he chose to come near through Jesus, we're reminded that his love is deeper, his grace is greater, and his presence is more personal than we often realize. No matter where you're starting from, this message offers an invitation to trust the God who is bigger than your questions, fears, and circumstances.Scripture to reflect on: Nehemiah 9:5-6Blessed be your glorious name, and may it be exalted above all blessing and praise. You alone are the Lord. You made the heavens, even the highest heavens, and all their starry host, the earth and all that is on it, the seas and all that is in them. You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you.Psalm 104:1-2 Praise the LORD, O my soul! O LORD my God, you are very great!You are clothed with splendor and majesty, covering yourself with light as with a garment,stretching out the heavens like a tentIsaiah 40:25-26To whom then will you compare me? Or who is my equal? says the Holy One. Lift your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.Job 38:3-5Brace yourself mere man; I will question you and you shall answer me. “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you understand. Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it? Romans 11:33-36Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable his judgments, and his paths beyond tracing out! Who has known the mind of the Lord? Or who has been his counselor? Who has given to God that God should repay him? For from him and through him and to him are all things. To him be the glory forever! Amen.1 Timothy 6:15-16God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.John 1:1-5In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of humanity. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.Colossians 1:15-17He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible. Whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities, all things were created by him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. Revelation 4:10-11They lay their crowns before the throne and say: You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power, for you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being.Link to the bulletin for further reflection: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1hBONx9724sjQbkEp9XuBwX-A4-T_WE7P/view

Looking at the night sky with the radiance of the moon and stars, David understood what it all revealed. He said, “The heavens declare the glory of God.” The brightness and the brilliance of the skies tell us about the beauty and the majesty of God. Only someone so powerful and so creative could design what we see each night.Main Points:1. Regardless of where we live on earth, the voice of God speaks to us through nature, revealing His existence, power, and glory.2. Because of this general revelation, we cannot say God has hidden from us. He reveals His existence every day. 3. With this revelation, we have a choice of what to do with it. Seeing the beauty, majesty, and power of God, how will we respond? Many respond with indifference, but I pray you'll see the power of God, and respond by acknowledging His greatness.Today's Scripture Verses:Isaiah 40:26 - “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these? He who brings out the starry host one by one and calls forth each of them by name.”Psalm 19:1-4 - “The heavens declare the glory of God; the skies proclaim the work of his hands. Day after day they pour forth speech; night after night they reveal knowledge. They have no speech, they use no words; no sound is heard from them. Yet their voice goes out into all the earth, their words to the ends of the world.”Romans 1:20 - “For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature—have been clearly seen, being understood from what has been made, so that people are without excuse.”Psalm 147:4 - “He determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.”Quick Links:Donate to support this podcastLeave a review on Apple PodcastsGet a copy of The 5 Minute Discipleship JournalConnect on SocialJoin The 5 Minute Discipleship Facebook Group

Astronomy Cast Ep. 799: Heavy Lift Rockets By Fraser Cain & Dr. Pamela Gay Streamed live June 22, 2026. The Saturn 5 was a monster, capable of sending humans and a lander to the Moon and bringing them back again. But the number of heavy lift rockets since then has gotten pretty sparse. Now, with tens if not hundreds of thousands of satellites in the works, giant new space telescopes and multi-ton lunar landers in development there are heavy lift solutions to match. So let's talk about them! From yesterday's Saturn V to today's Ariane VI, rockets capable of launching large telescopes or small space stations in a single go are modern marvels. They are also wildly dangerous, and not exactly compatible. Let's look at today's fleet of rockets and just what they're accomplishing.
