What does it look like to move closer to God, one step at a time? Pastor Connor will explore that question in our new sermon series, “Onward.” This week's message looks at the beginning of our journey, the launchpad we take off from. Like a 5,000-ton rocket under gravity's pull, we are weighed down by the immense burden of our sin. We cannot overcome this weight on our own; we need the rocket booster of Christ's power to overcome it for us. Pastor Connor talks about the gospel: how we need it ourselves and how we can share it with those around us, so they can also be free from sin's burden.This week, our hosts talk about our new sermon series Onward, they go over the weight that Christians have on their shoulders, the difficulties of captivating someone when sharing the Gospel, and at what point does one know enough to share the Gospel with others. Oh and tune into the beginning to get to know Jason's summer intern Alex, as he shares what he has been done so far this summer with the church.If you would like to watch the video podcast, find us on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMhDfGn0zfzi6XjcKkSVcFAFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/discovertbcInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/topekabiblechurchWebsite: https://www.discovertbc.com/

Ordentlich viel los rund um die Erde: Immer mehr Satelliten kreisen im Orbit. In den kommenden 15 Jahren könnte die Zahl nach Expertenschätzung von heute 5.000 auf knapp 60.000 steigen. Das bedeutet auch künftig mehr Raketenstarts und mehr Weltraumschrott – ausgediente Satelliten verglühen in der Erdatmosphäre. Uwe Gradwohl ist langjähriger Wissenschaftsjournalist aus der ARD Wissenschaftsredaktion. In dieser 11KM-Folge erklärt er, was der Satelliten-Boom für das Klima auf der Erde und die schützende Ozonschicht bedeuten könnte und, was Orangen und Aluminiumoxid damit zu tun haben.

emotions  A journey through deep sound and deeper feeling.This isn't just another mix. It's a personal selection of electronic music that spans the emotional spectrum - from warm, meditative moments to goosebump-inducing surprises. Think deep house, deep techno, washed-out synths, hypnotic grooves, ethereal vocals, breakbeats, acid echoes and nods to early 90s rave culture; all sewn together to create space for reflection, escape, and feeling.It opens with Carl Sagan's haunting Pale Blue Dot speech - a reminder of our shared fragility at a time when the world feels increasingly fractured. His words are framed by Dyzen's 'Exodus', setting the tone for a journey that drifts through thought-provoking textures, unexpected twists, and soulful melancholy.This one's for the thinkers, daydreamers, late-night wanderers and after-hours souls. Whether you're out walking in nature or lying in stillness, I hope you feel the peace I've tried to weave into every moment.

Loyalty programs have turned out to be highly profitable for airlines, as for some, they generate more cash flow than flight operations. Indeed, we believe that without a loyalty program, certain major U.S. airlines' earnings would be decidedly weaker in the current economic environment. We discuss how these loyalty programs work, their resiliency in tough times while other airline assets remain idle, how airlines generate financing from these programs by securitizing future loyalty revenue streams (and by proxy, the different types of ABS securitizations), and just how they've become core financial assets in general.

Pascal Papathemelis: From Mechanics to Human Factors—How Scrum Masters Grow Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal shares his evolution as a Scrum Master, moving from focusing purely on the mechanics of Scrum to understanding the critical importance of human factors. Early in his career, Pascal worked with teams that struggled to achieve sprint goals, with stories floating from one sprint to another. Through retrospectives and continuous improvement, he learned essential tips like not taking too much into sprints and making stories smaller.  However, Pascal's biggest transformation came when he shifted focus to human elements - involving everyone in the team, improving collaboration during refinement, and developing people's skills and attitudes. He emphasizes that every person is an individual with the intention to be their best, and a good Scrum Master must sense when something is wrong and create safe environments for open conversations. Pascal highlights the importance of corridor conversations and coffee machine breakthroughs, especially before COVID, and stresses the need to invest effort in how teams start, using models like Tuckman's team growth model and Diana Larsen's Team Liftoff approach. In this segment, we also refer to the episode with Arne Roock, about the importance of team design and setup in the success of teams. Self-reflection Question: How might shifting your focus from Scrum mechanics to human factors transform the way you support your team's growth and collaboration?

Joel Bancroft-Connors: The No-Scroll Bar Rule—Empowering PO's Through Constraints Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. The Great Product Owner: The Collaborative Innovator Joel describes an exceptional Product Owner scenario at a large insurance organization where complementary skills created magic. Working with two different people - a business expert who understood insurance but lacked development knowledge, and a designer with user experience expertise - Joel suggested the designer take on the Product Owner role while collaborating closely with the business person.  This collaboration between complementary skills produced outstanding results. The great Product Owner understood that their role wasn't to control every detail but to unleash developer creativity by providing problems and context rather than prescriptive solutions. Joel's approach of "give the developers a problem and a canvas" allowed the team to innovate while staying focused on customer needs. This Product Owner fostered innovation rather than preventing it, demonstrating how effective collaboration can transform product development. The Bad Product Owner: The Business Analyst That Couldn't Let Go Joel identifies a problematic anti-pattern: the Business Analyst who transitions to Product Owner but can't abandon their documentation-heavy approach. While Business Analysts can make excellent Product Owners with proper support, those who insist on documenting everything create communication bottlenecks and slow down delivery. This creates a "telephone game" effect between the BA/PO and developers. Joel encountered one such individual who would declare "the developers can't do that" without giving them the opportunity to explore solutions. Following his "no-scroll bar rule" for documentation, Joel emphasizes that Product Owners should provide just enough information to enable developer creativity, not overwhelming detail that stifles innovation. When the problematic BA was replaced with someone who understood customers and trusted developers, the team's innovation flourished. In this segment, we refer to the book Liftoff, by Larsen and Nies. Self-reflection Question: Are you enabling developer innovation by providing problems and context, or are you stifling creativity with excessive documentation and control?

Before astronauts could land and walk on the Moon, NASA had to be sure they could do three things: live in space for days at a time, catch and link up with other spacecraft, and work outside their ship. And it took stabs at two of those goals 60 years ago today, with a mission called Gemini 4.   [AUDIO: 3, 2, 1, Ignition … Liftoff …] Astronauts James McDivitt and Ed White were scheduled to spend four days in space. That was longer than the first seven American missions combined. And White would make the first American spacewalk. He’d float outside the cabin for a few minutes, using a small “gun” of compressed air to move around. And three and a half hours after launch, it was time to get started: CAPCOM: Gemini 4, Hawaii capcom. We just had word from Houston, we’re ready to have you get out   whenever you’re ready. Okay, my feet are out. … Okay, I’m out. The spacewalk went well – very well. [WHITE: I feel like a million dollars!] In fact, it went so well that White didn’t want it to end. HOUSTON: The flight director says get back in!      McDIVITT: This is Jim, you got any message for us?      CAPCOM: Gemini 4, get back in!      McDIVITT: Okay… Actually working during a spacewalk turned out to be a lot harder than White had made it look. It took several more missions to work out the kinks. But the success of Gemini 4 helped make it possible for astronauts to walk on the Moon just four years later. Script by Damond Benningfield

Für viele ist Science-Fiction nur ferne Zukunftsmusik - doch mit KI-Sprachmodellen und privatisierten Weltraummissionen rückt die Fiktion immer näher an unsere Realität. Mehr noch: Vieles von dem, was wir gerade erleben, wurde in der Science-Fiction nicht nur vorhergesehen - sondern manchmal sogar mitverursacht. Wie gut hat uns die Sci-Fi-Literatur auf diese neue Welt vorbereitet? Und helfen uns fiktive Dystopien wie Black Mirror wirklich dabei, bessere Technologien zu entwickeln - oder ignorieren wir die warnenden Geschichten und bauen trotzdem gefährliche Technologien, die wir eigentlich vermeiden sollten? Über die Hosts: Gregor Schmalzried ist freier Tech-Journalist, Speaker und Berater, u.a. beim Bayerischen Rundfunk. Fritz Espenlaub ist freier Journalist und Ökonom. Er arbeitet unter anderem für den Bayerischen Rundfunk und das Tech-Magazin 1E9.
