Two girls constantly encounter each other on the farm: Ada, is the only daughter of the farm owner, Jonah Courtnay and his war time bride Johelia. Nicky is a young girl of mixed descent, and daughter of the help on the farm.

As summer draws to a close and families prepare for a new school year, it's a fitting time to reflect on what it means to truly be a family—both at home and within the church. The most meaningful moments in life aren't about the places we visit or the events we attend, but about being with the people we love, even when we realize our families are far from perfect. In the same way, the church is not a building or a flawless gathering, but a family of imperfect people bound together by God's grace and love.Paul's letter to the Thessalonians gives us a powerful image of the church as a family. He reminds us that, just as in our own families, there will be disagreements, disappointments, and moments when we get on each other's nerves. Yet, healthy families don't walk away when things get tough—they lean in, work through issues, and remain faithful to one another. Paul's approach to the Thessalonian church was not one of authority or superiority, but of gentleness, honesty, and deep affection. He describes his ministry among them using three family roles: a child, a mother, and a father.First, Paul came among them with the humility and honesty of a child—no pretenses, no masks, just realness. He didn't pretend to be perfect or to have it all together, and he encourages us to do the same. In a world obsessed with image and perfection, the church should be a place where we can be authentic, where we don't have to Photoshop our lives or hide our struggles. While not everyone needs to know everything about us, someone should know something. We all need a few trusted people with whom we can be transparent, share our burdens, and find healing.Second, Paul likens his care for the church to that of a loving mother—nurturing, sacrificial, and deeply invested. He didn't just share the gospel; he shared his very life. This kind of love costs time, energy, and effort, but it's what makes a church family healthy. We're called to look out for one another, to notice when someone is missing or struggling, and to offer encouragement and support. While it's impossible for everyone to look out for everyone, it is possible for everyone to look out for someone.Finally, Paul describes his role as that of a present father—guiding, encouraging, and sometimes correcting, but always coming alongside rather than standing above. True spiritual fatherhood is relational, not just instructional. It's about walking with others, sharing wisdom from our own experiences, and helping each other grow in Christ.The invitation is clear: be real, be nurturing, and be present. The church is a family, and each of us has a part to play in making it a place of grace, honesty, and love.Youtube Chapters[00:00] - Welcome[01:00] - Family Vacation Stories and Imperfection[04:48] - Road Trip Lessons: Family Isn't Perfect[07:32] - Church as God's Family: Not a Building[09:12] - Healthy Families Lean In[11:33] - Paul's Ministry in Thessalonica[13:32] - The Power of Church Family Connections[15:12] - Paul's Motives and Boldness[17:45] - Childlike Gentleness and Honesty[20:34] - Be Real: No Pretending in God's Family[26:52] - Authenticity and Vulnerability[32:07] - Sharing Struggles and Finding Support[36:16] - Nurturing Like a Mother[41:56] - Looking Out for Someone[44:47] - Everyone's Calling to Care[46:43] - Present Fatherhood: Encouragement and Correction[48:08] - Walking Alongside Each Other[53:55] - Lessons in Guidance and Growth[59:06] - Responding to God's Call Today

Have you ever tried running a business like it's a utility function? Today's guest has. CJ is joined by Michaela Lehr, a seasoned FP&A leader and former CFO of ActionIQ, who breaks down how CFOs can pull levers like growth, retention, margin, and cash runway to maximize value without blowing something up. Michaela explains how not all growth is created equal and why how you grow matters as much as how much you grow. She talks about gross margin as the most sensitive area of the P&L and how to communicate with engineers about their impacts on it. The conversation also covers the rise of “experimental recurring revenue” in AI-first products, why investors are obsessed with net dollar retention, the risks of over-servicing customers, looking out for your own finance team, and what it means to budget in the real world when everything changes after board approval.—LINKS:Michaela Lehr on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michaela-lehr-2908996/ActionIQ: https://www.uniphore.com/actioniqCJ on X (@cjgustafson222): https://x.com/cjgustafson222Mostly metrics: Loveable: https://lovable.devCanva: https://www.canva.comConcourse: https://www.concourse.co—TIMESTAMPS:(00:00) Preview and Intro(02:20) Sponsor – Rillet | Pulley | Brex(07:33) What It Means To Run a Company Like a Utility Function(10:45) An Example of Optimising for This Utility Function Regarding AI Spend(15:36) Sponsor – Aleph | RightRev | Navan(19:35) Less Visible but High-Impact Levers That Drive Revenue(22:15) Gating Headcount Based on Performance Milestones(25:09) Cloud Costs as a Hidden Lever(27:30) Why How You Grow Matters As Much as How Much You Grow(30:08) Professional Services as a Necessary Investment(32:43) What ERR (Experimental Recurring Revenue) Is(36:39) Margin As the Most Sensitive Area of the P&L(38:13) Communicating With Engineers About Gross Margin(41:56) Why Investors Care So Much About Net Dollar Attention(43:53) Making Sure Your Upsells Don't Mask a Churn Problem(44:40) What Over-Servicing Your Customer Looks Like(46:58) Why the “Just Give Me My Budget” Mindset Doesn't Work(49:23) Brokering the Budget With Execs in Real Time(51:38) Looking Out for Your Own Team as a CFO(56:26) The First Sign of an Erosion of Trust(59:50) Finance's Role in Upholding Capital-T Truth(1:01:31) Long-Ass Lightning Round: A COVID-Era Multitasking Mistake(1:02:06 ) Advice to Younger Self(1:04:07) Michaela's Favorite Finance Tool(1:04:17) Craziest Expense Story—SPONSORS:Rillet is the AI-native ERP modern finance teams are switching to because it's faster, simpler, and 100% built for how teams operate today.

Join the Deep-dive team as they discuss Towards an Institutional or Apostolic Vision by Alejandro Rodríguez, a long-time member of Youth With A Mission (YWAM) since 1989. The book is addressed to fellow "warriors" in YWAM, encouraging them to reflect on the organization's vision and remove practices that are commonplace in ministry but do not align with God's expectations.Become a paid subscriber to The Kingdom Reformation leader's community and download the book for free! Sign up at https://kingdomreformation.org The book argues that YWAM is best understood not as a Christian organization but as an "apostolic mission.". This distinction is important because it impacts how the organization and its members see themselves. Rodríguez warns against falling into a "Para-church" mentality, where YWAMers view themselves as separate from or superior to the local church. Instead, YWAM should be "part of something greater" -- namely, the global church.An apostolic vision, according to the sources, has several key characteristics:It involves recognizing that God has already been at work and that YWAM has "a glorious inheritance" to build on and pass on to future generations It requires seeing YWAM as a family, not just a hotel where people come and go as they please It prioritizes discipleship, which is "a lifestyle," not just a six-month or one-year programIt calls for "passing on a legacy," not just delegating tasksIt means impacting society beyond just church activities, striving to be "relevant in society"It involves dependence on God, not moneyOne of the biggest threats to this apostolic vision is the tendency to become "institutionalized". Rodríguez draws contrasts between an institutional and an apostolic approach to various aspects of YWAM life and ministry:Institutional vs. ApostolicChristian Organization vs. Apostolic Mission [4]Looking Out for One's Own Ministry vs. Being Part of Something Greater [7]Bases vs. Missionary Communities [17]Leaders vs. Pastors/Spiritual Parents [18]Training vs. Discipleship [19]Staff Members vs. Servants of God [20]Pastoral Care vs. Pastoral Life [21]Delegating a Task vs. Passing on a Legacy [22]Students vs. Disciples [23]Institutional Presence vs. A Mission that is Relevant in Society [14]Ministerial Activities vs. A Vision to Follow [24]Bound to Money vs. Depending on God [16]Rodríguez uses numerous examples and anecdotes to illustrate his points. These range from personal experiences in YWAM Argentina to biblical stories. Notably, he emphasizes the role of families in YWAM, highlighting the challenges and opportunities they face [25, 26]. He also stresses the importance of recognizing "openings, opportunities, and urgency" in missions [27]. By responding to these, YWAM can truly make a difference in society and be part of God's work of transforming nations.The sources conclude with a call to action, urging YWAMers to reflect on what they have read and to allow the Holy Spirit to renew their lives and ministries [28]. Rodríguez encourages...

Joe and Drew aren't short of opinions. While the boys might be sometimes (often?) wrong, at the very least, an opinion gives us something to discuss, something to weigh the merits of. In this episode of Looking Out, they sincerely wish the automotive industry would have some stronger opinions of its own.Topics covered include the relaunch of Scout by Volkswagen, the Paris Motorshow, Renault's emerging range of retro EVs, the 5, the 4, and the upcoming Twingo, and the Zeekr Mix.That's it for this episode!

This week, my guest is bee expert Kevin Hancock. Kevin has invented a honeybee nest box that's the only self-regulating honey harvesting system in the world, meaning the bees will dictate how much honey you can take dependent on the environment that year. It's a way of hosting rather than keeping bees and is an intriguing system.   About the Eco Beehive    “ECO BEEHIVE is the only SELF REGULATING HONEY HARVESTING SYSTEM IN THE WORLD!     Wow that is so exciting!! But it is !! no really.. give me a chance and I'll explain.   I am on a mission to strengthen the honeybee network across Europe!!  You are automatically involved.   First. What is strengthening the honeybees network?  Honeybees don't live in isolation. They are all interconnected though a network of colonies. No beekeeper is in isolation. Whatever they do impacts on the greater network around them.   OK so why? To get more colony's in the environment. Not apiaries. More hives spread out creates a network of interconnected nests, results in stronger genetics. Faster response to problems like predation and sickness, across the network. The problem is the network has collapsed. You can affect change by installing honeybees nest boxes. I recommend my nest box:     Where did it all start you ask? Well as a little boy helping with the bees on my Grandfather's farm in Africa, to catching my first swarm when I was about twelve years old. This then sparked the interest and evolved into my hobby of beelineing (tracking bees to find wild colonies).    My story makes me uniquely qualified to design and build the ECO- BEEHIVE. With an interest in bees ( Apis mellifera ) not beekeeping! My interest is mostly investigating bees in the wild.  These little insects are under pressure from all sorts of thing. But simplest of these to fix and something we can all get involved in and help with is to simply give them a safe, natural home to live.  Solving this simple but big problem, is my mission! After trying many different designs over quite a few decades, and using all the data I have collected from observing bees, I have developed a nest that is so convincing, to bees, they will just move in on their own! But more impressive is they will stay, But even more impressive, is they will then thrive. This then is the ECO--BEEHIVE.   www.gardenersbeehive.com     Other episodes if you liked this one:   Urban Bees - My guest this week is urban apiculturist Mark Patterson. Mark founded and runs Apicultural where he work with businesses and communities to invest in natural capital, improving the environment for pollinators and delivering pollinator monitoring surveys for clients. He provides honey bee hive management solutions, beekeeping training and education and also supplies quality urban honey to a select group of establishments. So you'd think Mark would be all for the idea of urban honeybees, right? Listen on…   
Looking Out for Bumblebees - This episode my guest is Gill Perkins, CEO of the Bumblebee Conservation Trust. We talk about bumblebee populations and habitats, what we can do to encourage and care for bumblebees in our gardens and about the role of bumblebees in tomato pollination, which came as a complete surprise to me!   Support the podcast on Patreon

This episode is *really* visual. To see our line-by-line review of the Toyota Century SUV in real time, watch along at https://youtu.be/BtDJNCnuVlY?si=WAzJXEJ55_KeWa8cCriticism and the automotive industry make for uncomfortable bed fellows.We put so much heart and soul in to creating a car that when someone points out its flaws, it can be like being told that someone doesn't like our child.Except the cars we design are not our children. They're manufactured products that have an enormous impact on the world around us. They influence the way we think and behave. They shape our understanding of public space and how we share it. And they consume vast quantities of natural resources in their manufacture and use.So, as car designers and design strategists, alongside the engineers, product planners, and leadership we work with, we reckon we have a responsibility to question intently the impact that our work has, and to think deeply about what we have to do better.That the Toyota Century SUV is the object of our critique in this episode is almost neither here nor there. There are any number of new cars that fail to meet the needs of the moment in which we find ourselves. But as way to understand how design and product planning decisions can have such a remarkable impact on the perception of a brand, the big SUV, and the way it toys with the ethos and mythos of Century, is hard to miss.We're not here to denigrate or mindlessly criticise. We are here to get people to look up from their day-to-day, look out for the shifts and signals that are going to impact their work, and connect the dots that lead to a more sustainable, more equitable future.With this episode, we're making our first, messy, and very public attempt to create a template for having critical conversations about the future of the automotive industry, and the role of design within it. We're not going to get it right first time, but we'll keep trying.So whether you yelp in agreement with us, or shake your fist with rage that we dared question the status quo, take this as an invitation to speak up and share your views, not just with us, but with the Looking Out community.Over the coming months, we'll be developing a series of Looking Out interviews. Our aim is to present a diverse set of perspectives on where we should be headed. And if you're reading this newsletter, or listening to or watching the podcast, chances are you're someone we'd love to hear from, or you know someone we should speak to.So drop us a line at theautomobilitygroup gmail.com and let's start a conversation.That's it for this episode!

Looking Out for Ourselves, and Looking for Hashem

"I think I'm in a perpetual career transition" Restaurant Manager turned Career Coach turned Entrepreneur, Chris Hegg, from @ChrisatPeak joins Cassie on Happenstance to talk about making big career moves, the chaos and challenges behind career transitions and how he has developed a deep dense of confidence when it comes to follow his passions and taking advantage of opportunities. Let's see where happenstance takes us...Episode Topics:- Daily POP (00:02:40)- Guest Introduction (00:07:18)- Making a Mid-Career Change  (0025:49)- 10 Years in the Restaurant Industry (00:32:08)- The Start of a 4 Year Career Change (00:37:55)- Making Your Own Career Transition (00:42:46)- The Transition to Entrepreneurship and Reselling (00:44:37)-A Story on Looking Out for Yourself (00:56:46) Guest Bio:Chris Hegg is a solopreneur, career coach, content creator, reseller, and curriculum developer who is dedicated to being a catalyst for thoughtful career change. Chris began his career managing restaurants before launching his first big career transition at the age of 30. The “what everyone sees” version of this story is that Chris went back to grad school and became a Career Coach. This sounds like he took one giant step, and voila, transition complete. No! The “real” story of this transition involved dozens of small steps (and mis-steps), all during the Great Recession of 2008. This includes quitting a perfectly fine job, arranging countless coffee meetings, volunteering in the community, working a half dozen part-time jobs, paying off a mountain of debt, selling a car to fund tuition, and moving 900 miles south to attend graduate school.  For Chris, the real magic in that change was taking small steps, lots of them.After earning a Master of Arts in College Student Development, Chris worked as a Career Coach at universities and career schools. He soon established his first business, Peak Opportunity Coaching.  During his 10+ years of experience in career education, Chris has taken part in tens of thousands of conversations about work, life, passion, money and change.  He has drawn inspiration from the brave career changes of his clients, and how the modern world presents so many new avenues to explore and carry out career change.  Cue big career transition number 2. While working full-time as a Career Coach and growing his career coaching practice, Chris built a successful side-hustle selling used clothing on ebay (insert a bunch of small steps that nobody sees here). This side hustle grew quickly and he stepped aside from career coaching to focus on his growing used clothing business, Peak Opportunity Outfitters. Chris then started a new side-hustle too.  Under the name @ChrisAtPeak, Chris shares candid videos of his entrepreneurship journey, especially the small steps.  He shares this content to inspire and encourage others to pursue their own side-hustles, and to roll those side-hustles into big, brave career moves.  You can find Chris's storefronts and follow his journey at chrisatpeak.com.Guest Links:Instagram & Tiktok: @ChrisatpeakLet's Connect:@HappenstancethePodcast@CareerCoachCassie 

“To be able to bring the awareness to the band - to be able to say here's Mike Mcfadden so people go listen and then say what's The Looking Out foundation… and they see it's a great cause and donate some money…”- Michael IcoreFor many it takes a few rock boats to have that “uh huh” moment but it took the icores no time to pick up the tips and tricks of the rock boat immediately. From understanding that a schedule could be derailed by a pass-by show to getting caught up in conversations, they encompass having the vibes sway their musical experience. Today the icores talk about how they began creating connections with the artists to having artists perform at their house.The Icores house shows are yet another “ripple” of the Rock Boat, using music to give back to greater good. They talk about their upcoming house show featuring Mike Mcfadden to support a great cause, The Looking Out Foundation (https://www.lookingoutfoundation.org). It's non-profit started by TRB XIII alumni Brandi Carlisle and the Hanseroth twins that help to empower neighborhoods without a voice.

HCP - Ep. 100 - Looking Out the Window or In a MirrorOn this centennial episode, Larry and Drew share how grateful and thankful they are for the privilege of sharing with you every week. As leaders we are called to reflect in good times of celebration and difficult times of challenge. In those moments do you “go to the window” and look for all the people who have made your celebration possible? Do you give others credit, seeing your team as the reason for your success. If you go to the mirror and make it about you you've missed the mark. It's the same for when things aren't going great. That's when we should go to the mirror first. We should ask questions like what mistakes have I made, and how can I have done this differently. If you're struggling with burnout or depression, please reach out to us. We're praying for you!Thank you for listening!! To God be the glory for all he has done!! To find more information about The Healthy Church Podcast go to:http://www.healthychurchpodcast.comor find us on FaceBook!

Mental health is something that is often spoken about in hushed tones, and it's something that many people are afraid to discuss. But talking about mental health is not only important, it's essential. It's the beginning of a journey, and it's the first step on the path to recovery. In this episode, I want to talk about anxiety and depression. These are conditions that can affect anyone, no matter their gender or age. And although they may seem like difficult problems to solve, they're actually things that you can overcome with the right help. A lot of us gravitate towards careers because we feel like we're supposed to be providing for our families, and then we end up sacrificing our personal lives. So it's important that we have these conversations with our loved ones so they know that it's okay to need a break. It's okay to need some space. There are millions of us, and you don't have to do this alone. [00:03 - 06:40] Effects of Upbringing and Events During Early Development How living in a chaotic home can lead to emotional detachment Not wanting to show one's vulnerability [06:40 - 15:45] Mental Health Psychological and emotional wellbeing Psychological health is a problem solving mode of behavior Emotional health is how we think and feel How is therapy beneficial? What are the effects of suppressing your emotions? Identifying the "what", "why", and "who" when it comes to depression [15:46 - 25:02] Looking Out for the Signs and Addressing the Problems The importance of communication Not utilizing your voice can have negative effects How depression can be masked by PMS and menopause How being reclusive can make you critical about yourself Not verbalizing what you need give more chance to dysfunctional relationship patterns and broken relationships [25:03 - 36:16] Women's Mental Health and Finding a Better Place Having less power and status in the society Having a predetermined role in society as mother and wife I share my story of overcoming abandonment and rejection You don't know everything You are always changing Don't pretend to be someone else Knowing who you are [36:17 - 38:04] Closing Segment Conquering with people around you Final words Thanks for tuning in!

It is an opportunity to learn about yourself and especially when you're talking to someone that does not have a biased perception of you, even if it's uncomfortable for your growth." - Rose Bonds "I'm not saying that you should broadcast what you're struggling with on a public forum, but I'm saying that there should be one or two, three or four good people that you can have a good cry with, that you can be completely honest and transparent with that."- Rose Bonds "If you raise a child and they're great, you can brag about their GPA and all of their accomplishments. How is their heart? How is their mind doing? How do they communicate?"- Rose Bonds "When you refuse to open your mouth, when you refuse to talk, you have allowed shame and guilt to put you in bondage. And a lot of us have the keys in our pocket for freedom, and we won't take them out. We won't stick them in a lock and we won't twist it."- Rose Bonds

A thorough investigation of how Jane Jacobs's ideas about the life and economy of great cities grew from her home city, Scranton Jane Jacobs's First City vividly reveals how this influential thinker and writer's classic works germinated in the once vibrant, mid-size city of Scranton, Pennsylvania, where Jane spent her initial eighteen years. In the 1920s and 1930s, Scranton was a place of enormous di­versity and opportunity. Small businesses of all kinds abounded and flourished, quality public education was available to and supported by all, and even recent immi­grants could save enough to buy a house. Opposing political parties joined forces to tackle problems, and citizens worked together for the public good. Through interviews with contemporary Scrantonians and research of historic newspapers, city directories, and vital records, author Glenna Lang has uncovered Scranton as young Jane experienced it and shows us the lasting impact of her growing up in this thriving and accessible environment. Readers can follow the development of Jane's acute observational abilities from childhood through her passion in early adulthood to understand and write about what she saw. Reflecting Jane's belief in trusting one's own direct observation above all, this volume has been richly illustrated with historic and modern color images that help bring alive a lost Scranton. The book demonstrates why, at the end of Jacobs's life, her thoughts and conversations increasingly returned to Scranton and the potential for cohesion and inclusiveness in all cities. Author Glenna Lang's previous work about Jane Jacobs—Genius of Common Sense: The Story of Jane Jacobs and “The Death and Life of Great American Cities”—aimed to inspire young adults but appealed to all ages in the general public and at universities. It was chosen as a 2009 Notable Book by both the New York Times and Smithsonian Magazine. As an illustrator, she produced four classic poems as picture books for children with David R. Godine, Publisher. Lang wrote and illustrated Looking Out for Sarah, about a day in the life of a seeing-eye dog, which won the American Library Association's Schneider Family Award. Although she grew up mainly in New York City, she has lived for many years in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and teaches at the School of the Museum of Fine Arts, now part of Tufts University. She has loved spending time in Scranton with her husband, Alexander von Hoffman, and their dog, Easy.

At least at one point in our lives, we will all experience body pains and headaches. However, did you know that these may be signs of a vitamin deficiency? Around 60-70% of Americans are calcium and magnesium deficient. We may be vitamin deficient and not even notice it!

Episode Highlights [04:02] How Miray Started Vivoo Miray is knowledgeable in bioengineering and epigenetics. Her expertise is on the Internet of Things and biosensors.  Vivoo means being alive in Spanish.  It is a home diagnostics tool that helps in tracking biometric markers through urine. The application can measure hydration, liver and kidney functions, urinary tract infections, and ketones.    [06:43] Why Health Tracking is Important When you are aware of your health statistics, it's easier to take action.   If you're tracking biometric markers regularly, you'll learn about their patterns and changes.  Miray shares that Vivoo is also adding new metrics like calcium, vitamin C, magnesium, salt consumption, and free radicals. [10:43] Looking Out for Oxidative Stress Oxidative stress is involved in cell damage and diseases like cancer.  Free radicals can lead to oxidative stress. They can be found in food, objects, and even cosmetics.  Oxidative stress is a byproduct of lipid peroxidation and malondialdehyde (MDA).  [14:21] Who Can Use Vivoo? Many athletes use Vivoo to track their status before and after runs.  Vivoo can help people become more proactive in their health and understand their bodies' needs better.  On average, 70% of Americans are calcium deficient and 60% are magnesium deficient.  [19:33] How Does Vivoo Measure Oxidative Stress? When Vivoo uses colourimetric tests, speific molecules activate and change colours depending on the level of the biometric being measured.  People's health issues can be addressed by simply taking the right supplements and vitamins.  For example, magnesium can help in 600 enzymatic reactions and be a treatment for depression.     [24:17] How Medicine and the Medical Industry Should Change Medicine often cures only the symptoms, not the disease.  While medicines and treatments can address your symptoms, they won't treat vitamin deficiencies that might cause more significant problems for your body in the future.  Medical trends point to more home diagnostic tools to help people live longer and healthier.   Diabetes and obesity threatens the life expectancy of younger generations. [31:19] The Mindset to Become Stronger Looking for investors is just similar to looking for customers. You contact leads, pitch your sales, and hope to get funding.  It also requires mental toughness and optimism despite uncertainties.  When you believe in negative thinking, it then becomes a self-fulfilling prophecy.  [40:43] How Vivoo Can Help You Make Lifestyle Changes Take note that Vivoo only helps gauge biometric levels and you can make decisions based on them.  Many in the biohacking community want nutrient information. Miray's team added metrics for calcium, Vitamin C, magnesium, and salts.  Vivoo also explains the importance of tracking biometric markers.  We need supplementation because our food may not be in its prime condition. For example, Vitamin C in vegetables can oxidate to 90%.  Getting good food nowadays has become difficult due to processing, packaging, pesticides, and modifications.  [54:39] Vivoo and Tracking Biometric Markers Miray shares that Vivoo does not check one's overall health. When tracking liver functions, it only measures bilirubin which can check liver damage and cirrhosis.  The application also checks for proteins related to kidney function. Remember that even if you look healthy on the outside, it doesn't mean you're healthy.  7 Powerful Quotes   “...  I want to know this for my own health, and my family's health so I can track everybody's going.”   “And people like us — sometimes I see hesitancy and people like, why would I pee on a stick unhealthy? But like 70% of Americans are calcium deficient and absorption reduces 30% by age.”   “ …if I had done an ultrasound, even of his stomach — if we would have seen what was going on under the hood, we would have been able to stop the aneurysm happening in his aorta, and we would have been able to fix them. That's just so sad that I didn't have something that  could have scanned him and seen that, and fixed that before it became a deadly problem.”   “...we can have genetic disorders, environmentally-caused problems, etc. But our body has actually tools to overcome it most of the times, but they don't allow our bodies to basically find those tools and help itself. They just try to cure the symptom.”   “...this is exciting, because then we will have much more control. And we will be able to live longer and age better and have a healthier [life].”   "And I realised that my biggest weakness is when there's uncertainty, there's two ways. You can be either optimistic, believe in yourself and your dreams, and keep going, or you can go down and save."   “It's okay for you to cost a little bit, in my opinion. It's okay for you to want to live your life and to have a good retirement and some nice times before you depart this world. And it's worth fighting for.” Resources Gain exclusive access and bonuses to Pushing the Limits Podcast by becoming a patron!  Order your very own Vivoo strips now and use code Lisa25 to get a 25% off your purchase!  Lifespan by David A.

We've gone through the shameful first anniversary of the attack on the U.S. Capitol and of the refusal of 147 members of Congress (all Republicans) to certify all the electors from states that voted for Biden, on the basis of no evidence of fraud. So far, no political figure has been charged with any criminal wrongdoing. We've seen 34 voter-suppression bills enacted by 19 Republican state legislatures; at least 8 give state legislatures the power to disregard election outcomes. More than 400 additional voter suppression measures are now being prepared. And we are now witnessing a struggle in the Senate to reform the filibuster so that voting rights legislation can be enacted. All of which raises a basic question: Is there still a common good? I was at the impressionable age of fourteen when I heard John F. Kennedy urge us not to ask what America can do for us but what we can do for America. Seven years later I took a job as a summer intern in the Senate office of his brother, Robert F. Kennedy. It was not a glamorous job, to say the least. I felt lucky when I was asked to run his signature machine. But I told myself that in a very tiny way I was doing something for the good of the country.That was more than a half century ago. I wish I could say America is a better place now than it was then. Surely our lives are more convenient. Fifty years ago there were no cash machines or smart phones, and I wrote my first book on a typewriter. As individuals, we are as kind and generous as ever. We volunteer in our communities, donate, and help one another. We pitch in during natural disasters and emergencies. We come to the aid of individuals in need. We are a more inclusive society, in that Black people, LGBTQ people, and women have legal rights they didn't have a half century ago. Yet our civic life—as citizens in our democracy, participants in our economy, managers or employees of companies, and members or leaders of organizations—seems to have sharply deteriorated. What we have lost is a sense of our connectedness to each other and to our ideals—the America that John F. Kennedy asked that we contribute to.Starting in the late 1970s, Americans began talking less about the common good and more about self-aggrandizement. The shift is the hallmark of modern America: From the “Greatest Generation” to the “Me Generation,” from “we're all in it together” to “you're on your own.” In 1977, motivational speaker Robert Ringer wrote a book that reached the top of The New York Times bestseller list entitled Looking Out for # 1. It extolled the virtues of selfishness to a wide and enthusiastic audience. The 1987 film Wall Street epitomized the new ethos in the character Gordon Gekko and his signature line, “Greed, for lack of a better word, is good.”The last five decades have also been marked by growing cynicism and distrust toward all of the basic institutions of American society. There is a wide and pervasive sense that the system as a whole is no longer working as it should. Racism, xenophobia, and religious intolerance are on the rise. A growing number of Americans feel neglected and powerless. Some are poor, or Black or Latino. Others are white and have been on a downward economic escalator for years. Some have been seduced by demagogues and conspiracy theorists. Thanks for subscribing to my letter. If you'd like to support this effort and be part of the conversation, please consider a paid or gift subscription. Is there a common good that still binds us together as Americans? Yes, and it's not the whiteness of our skin, or our adherence to Christianity, or the fact that we were born in the United States. We're bound together by the ideals and principles we share, and the mutual obligations those principles entail.After all, the U.S. Constitution was designed for “We the people” seeking to “promote the general welfare”—not for “me the selfish jerk seeking as much wealth and power as possible.” During the Great Depression of the 1930s and World War II, Americans faced common perils that required us to work together for the common good. That good was echoed in Franklin D. Roosevelt's “Four Freedoms”—freedom of speech, of worship, from want, and from fear. The common good animated many of us – both white and Black Americans—to fight for civil rights and voting rights in the 1960s. It inspired America to create the largest and most comprehensive system of public education the world had ever seen. And it moved many of us to act against the injustice of the Vietnam War, and others of us to serve bravely in that besotted conflict.Americans sharply disagree about exactly what we want for America or for the world. But if we are to participate in the same society we must agree on how we deal with our disagreements, our obligations under the law, and our commitment to democracy. It's our agreement to these principles that connects us, not agreement about where these principles lead. Some of us may want to prohibit abortions because we believe life begins at conception; others of us believe individuals should have the right to determine what happens to their bodies. Some of us want stricter environmental protections; others, more lenient. We are free to take any particular position on these and any other issues. But as political equals in this democracy, we are bound to accept the outcomes even if we dislike them. Our central obligation as citizens is to preserve, fortify, and protect our democratic form of government. We must defend the right to vote and ensure that more citizens are heard, not fewer. We must require that presidents be elected by the will of the people, and prevent political parties and state legislatures from disregarding the popular vote. We must get big money out of politics so the moneyed interests don't have more political power than the rest of us. Democracy doesn't require us to agree. It requires us to agree only on preserving and protecting democracy. This meta-agreement is the essence of the common good. Those now attacking American democracy are attacking the common good that binds us together. They are attacking America. We must join together — progressives and conservatives, Democrats and Republicans, inhabitants of blue states and of red states, business leaders as well as leaders of nonprofits and of the public sector — to rescue American democracy from those who now seek to destroy it.

Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. (For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; and they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?”He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as it is written, ‘This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; in vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.' You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.”Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile. For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”We love when Jesus lets the Pharisees have it. When they say something stupid or selfish or unholy and self-righteous and Jesus puts them in their place with a well-cited piece of Scripture. He does it more than once in the Gospels and it's awesome. He calls them blind guides and blind fools. He compares them to a brood of vipers and white-washed tombs. It's one of the ways I want to be more like Jesus sometimes.And that's what he's up to this morning. The scribes and the Pharisees are getting after Jesus for letting his disciples eat with defiled hands – for not washing them, first – as their history and tradition instructed them to do. This wasn't just about cleanliness and hygiene, either. The handwashing they were after had as much to do with religious ritual and piety, so the Pharisees and scribes were pointing out the supposed sinfulness of the disciples and judging them for it. So, Jesus pulls that quote from the prophet Isaiah out of his back pocket and uses it to call them all hypocrites. “Hypocrites” because the Pharisees and scribes and religious people of all stripes were using the letter of the law to shame and scare and pass judgment on others, while they, themselves, had plenty to be ashamed of.There's an interesting bit of scripture, removed from this lectionary text for some reason, where Jesus gets specific about it, too. He calls out the Pharisees for creating a loophole, where they could avoid “honoring their father and mother” by declaring the portion of their income they would, could, and should be using to care for their elders, as “corban,” or as an offering to God, which was exempt from such worldly purposes. (In other words, maybe they didn't want to pay for mom's nursing home, so they designated that money as holy, sacred, and blessed by the synagogue so that it was off-limits in some way.) And we know they threw stones, too – literally, threw stones – at women and girls for adultery and divorce and prostitution in ways men didn't have to suffer.And they declared food unclean and people unworthy and sins unforgiveable – which is what all of this with Jesus and his disciples is really about, in the end. These religious people were so good at pointing fingers and casting judgment and declaring who was in or out, who was loved or not, who was chosen or damned, and all the rest.And Jesus's point, I think, is that it's easier to fight and point fingers and cast judgment about the stuff “outside,” than it is to look within ourselves or to wonder about what's within the heart of our neighbor, too.For the Pharisees, this “outside” stuff that left a person “clean” or not was stuff like handwashing … or all of those dietary laws they had to follow … or who was sleeping with whom.For us – these days it seems like the “outside” stuff marks a person – is stuff like masks … and vaccines; political parties … and still, too much of the time, who's sleeping with whom, for crying out loud!We can throw all the proverbial stones we want – and we do, and we are as good at it as the Pharisees, some of the time – but, the genius of God, in Jesus, is that, because he looked so much like those Pharisees and because he looks so much like us, just the same, Jesus compels us all to look in the mirror, and deeper into our own heart of hearts, too.Where are we throwing stones, when we could be offering mercy?Like, maybe that person isn't connected to a community of faith because they've never been invited before or because they've been burned by them in the past.Where are we casting judgment when we could be asking better questions?Like, is it a coincidence that, four of the states with the lowest levels of COVID vaccinated people are also among those ranked lowest in education in our country?Where am I arguing about what's on the outside instead of trying to understand, forgive, maybe even heal, what's on the inside?Like, maybe that really angry, ignorant, naive social media rant is the only vehicle for being heard that those special someones in my Facebook feed have at their disposal.Where am I getting angry when I could be turning the other cheek?Where am I being more proud than humble? More afraid than faithful? More selfish than self-sacrificing? When, where, and why would Jesus let me have it, just like he did those Pharisees so much of the time?There's a line in a Brandi Carlile song called “Looking Out,” where she sings, “Some people get religion. Some people get the truth.” Brandi Carlile, a lesbian who was denied the waters of baptism as a teenager because of her sexuality, sings about how she never got the truth. And I think that's the case for too many people in our world these days.“Some people get religion. Some people get the truth.”Misguided religion draws lines in-between and divides based on differences. Faith and truth draw a gathering circle around to celebrate those same differences.Misguided religion finds fault and flaws. Faith and truth promise forgiveness.Misguided religion stokes fear. Faith and truth offer hope.Misguided religion points fingers. Faith and truth lends a hand.Misguided religion does the same-old, same-old, just because it is the same-old, same-old. Faith and truth get out of the boat and try new things.Misguided religion counts sins. Faith and truth count blessings.Misguided religion lives in scarcity. Faith and truth trust in God's abundance.“Some people get religion. Some people get the Truth.”The Pharisees in Jesus' day were all about religion. Jesus was and is all about the Way, the Truth, and the Life:The WAY of discipleship that calls us to follow in his loving footsteps…The TRUTH of God's grace for the ways we stumble and fall as we go…And the LIFE everlasting that belongs to each of us because we all belong to him.AmenCheck out this performance of Brandi Carlile's “LOOKING OUT” for a little inspiration.

The Major Scale gives a wink and a nod to Tom Scott and some of his early work. Before Scott was topping the charts with music for Tom Cat, L.A. Express with Joni Mitchell, along with scoring for film and TV- Starsky And Hutch, Let's Do It Again, and Family Ties, he was a teenage prodigy who was signed to Impulse Records – the home of his hero John Coltrane among other legends. Although these first albums weren't as popular as his later releases, over the past couple of decades they've become fertile ground for sampling - Massive Attack, Pete Rock and CL Smooth, Hieroglyphics and countless others have rearranged his work to great heights. We talk with the man himself about this phenomenon – easily one of our most entertaining conversations yet! SONG CREDITS FOR THIS EPISODE: THEME: Jazz Phantom by Chomsk' (from the album "Different Beats" on Magnetic Records). FIRST HALF:  Rural Still life #26 by Tom Scott (from the album "Rural Still Life" on Impulse Records). Milestones by Oliver Nelson (from the album "Live In Los Angeles" on Impulse Records). They Reminisce Over You by Peter Rock and CL Smooth (from the album "Mecca and the Soul Brother" on Elektra Records). Today by Tom Scott (from the record "Honeysuckle Breeze" on Impulse Records). With Respect to John Coltrane by Tom Scott (from the record "Rural Still Life" on Impulse Records). Looking Out for Number Seven, Woodstock and Trouble Me by Tom Scott (from the album "Great Scott" on A&M Records). Trouble Me by Joni Mitchell (from the album "Old Grey Whistle Test" on BBC/Asylum Records). Blue Lines (excerpt) by Massive Attack (from the album "Blue Lines" on Virgin Records). Sneakin' in the Back by Tom Scott (from the album "Tom Scott and LA Express" on Ode Records). ABOUT THE MAJOR SCALE: Your attention please to a new program that celebrates and takes a fresh and bold look at the great American art form- JAZZ!!! The Major Scale is the title, the motto and the mission are, Jazz- past, present, future, and everything in between. A lot of focus will be on new and fresh sounds, deep cuts, closer looks at underrated artists, taking a different look at some of the titans of the genre, and getting the two cents worth from a number of surprise guests and sources. The Major Scale can boast amongst it's guests- legends like Herbie Hancock, Tom Scott, and Ahmad Jamal. The up and coming and the underrated-Kamasi Washington, Mia Doi Todd, Michael Blake. Fresh perspectives and commentary from the likes of Rock legend Al Kooper, who weighed in on the gospel. From The New Yorker, Amanda Petrusich expounds on her article about the movement to rename the Williamsburg Bridge in honor of Sonny Rollins. We explore the Soul-Jazz experiments of the Rascals. Grace Kelly from The Late Show with Stephen Colbert talks about her pop-up/flash mob concerts. Plus Thundercat, Henry Mancini, Ghostface Killah, Jaimie Branch, Nels Cline, Badbadnotgood, Cecil Taylor, and more get pick up on the Major Scale radar. Produced in Central Florida, this program seeks to become one of the defining voices of this Native American art form, and everything else that finds itself under it's umbrella. Think about programming and content found on the likes of World Cafe, Philadelphia, PA. Tiny Desk from Washington D.C., and KEXP Live from Seattle, WA. and that's what the Major Scale strives to do. For the curious, and lovers of music who like the details in between. ABOUT KYLE EAGLE (Host): Kyle Eagle has been a contributing writer and producer for the NPR-WBGO, WUCF, WPRK, Wax Poetics, The Orlando Weekly, Artbourne, and The Fiscal Times, as well as several music and film releases- Light in the Attic's documentary "This Is Gary McFarland", and an upcoming film on composer Jack Nietzsche. Recordings- Call Me-Jack Wilson, Live at the Penthouse, Grachan Moncur III, Chico Hamilton, and Andy Bey. ABOUT CHRIS BARANYI (Producer): Chris Baranyi is a sound engineer and music producer. He splits his time between designing AV systems for theme parks and recording music. Chris has worked with many Orlando area musicians with backgrounds in jazz, fusion, hip-hop, funk, new age, and classical. Some of which have been featured on NPR's Echoes.
