Doug and Justin dive deep into anime this week, starting with Doug's story of watching the new Demon Slayer movie with his daughter for the first time. That leads into a full breakdown of anime tropes, including a hard look at the My Hero Academia ending and why its final stretch dragged, plus a rundown of some of the funniest and strangest anime titles out there. From there the guys rewatch Sword Art Online and Attack on Titan, which kicks off the main event: a real debate about why live action anime adaptations almost never work. They break down Attack on Titan, Death Note, Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood, and the ongoing trend of Hollywood trying to remake beloved anime and Disney classics in live action, and why so much of it gets lost in translation. That spirals into a bigger conversation about fandom culture and why the biggest fans sometimes become a property's worst enemy. Justin also puts Doug in the hot seat for a movie trivia game, naming an actor based only on three of their most popular films. Doug's knowledge surprises even himself. The episode wraps with this week's recommendations, including The Devil Wears Prada 2 and Demon Slayer Infinity Castle Part One, now streaming on Crunchyroll.

How do languages die? Who's behind the death of languages from Ghana's Dagbani to regional Italian dialects? And does it matter if they decay? Almost half of our 7,000 languages are expected to go extinct by the next century and “linguicide”, the death of a language, is to blame. It can be intentional, such as the Turkish government's repression of Kurds or less intentional, due to simple neglect. So can anything be done to save languages from dying? Journalist, author and broadcaster Sophia Smith Galer joins Emma Kennedy to discuss the impending linguistic extinction. • Buy Sophia's book How To Kill a Language: Power, Resistance and the Race to Save Our Words from our affiliate bookshop and you'll help fund the podcast by earning us a small commission for every sale.

After listening to this exuberant interview, you'll retire the phrase “lost in translation” from your vocabulary. Instead, writer and scholar Karen Leeder believes poetry can expand when translated, reaching new audiences and gaining new layers of meaning. Karen joins Pádraig Ó Tuama in an interview recorded in 2025 after she and Durs Grünbein were co-awarded the Griffin Poetry Prize for her translation of Psyche Running, which Durs wrote. In addition to reading from her work, she explains what it's like to translate a poet who is very much alive and why she thinks translation can help “explode” insularity and xenophobia. We invite you to subscribe to Pádraig's weekly Poetry Unbound Substack, read the Poetry Unbound books and his newest work, Kitchen Hymns, or listen to all our Poetry Unbound episodes. Karen Leeder is a writer, scholar, and translator of contemporary German literature. She has received many accolades for her translations, including being co-awarded (with Durs Grünbein) the 2025 Griffin Poetry Prize for her translation of Psyche Running by Durs Grünbein. She is the Schwarz-Taylor Chair of the German Language and Literature at the University of Oxford. Find the transcript for this show at onbeing.org. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For their 239th episode, two jet-set film critics, two midlife crisis dads, and two culturally open school teachers, Will Johnson and Don Shanahan, begin a two-episode arc on films that inspired recent travel from our two hosts. This month, Will got back from a transformative solo trip to the nation of Japan, meaning Sofia Coppola's "Lost in Translation" became the immediate reflection point for an episode.

There is nothing quite like sending or receiving a late-night text... only for the entire situation to get hopelessly lost in translation!
From 08/05 Hour 3: There's one place where everyone should know how to act, and that's the beach. Valdez explains to The Sports Junkies the proper beach etiquette that surprisingly gets lost in translation depending on where you vacation.
Gemma & Gorka have the holiday blues as they reflect on a lovely break with the family but it's led to a bigger discussion about how many clothes you should take away with you… and if that should also include a 15 euro bucket! Also, they think back to what stuff they had to sacrifice when moving in together and we find out if they're ‘smarter than a 7 year old' as they answer questions on some subjects Mia will be learning about in year 3!

Re-running Summer of Trinity, this time with episodes released at the start of their respective weeks rather than the end. Just for a different perspective. August 5 to August 11 This is Summer of Trinity - a daily description of events in the summer of 1945, touching points around the world but centered (as that summer was) on the Trinity nuclear test.

We all know what it's like to say, "That's not what I meant," only to hear, "Well, that's what I heard." The truth is, every conversation is filtered through our experiences, assumptions, and past hurts, which means we don't always hear what's actually being said. This week, we'll look at how becoming a better listener can change our relationships and the way we respond to the people around us.Every day, we respond to people, to pressure, opinions, criticism, and even the voice in our own head. But our responses are rarely as small as they seem. They shape relationships, reveal what's happening beneath the surface, and create a ripple effect throughout our lives. Your Response(ability) is an invitation to slow down, pay attention, and consider what our words and reactions are really doing.

From learning Mandarin with nothing but a notebook and a pen on the streets of Wuhan to losing $650,000 of his own money before ever raising outside capital, Sean Weisbrot shares hard-won lessons on cross-cultural dealmaking, bootstrapping versus fundraising, and why LinkedIn visibility now matters for founders and their teams. Sean is the founder of SparkVox, a tool that turns content executive teams are already creating into LinkedIn posts in their own voice, and the host of We Live to Build, a podcast with roughly 235,000 subscribers and more than 320 interviews with seven and eight figure brand owners. He has helped create over $100 million in value across his network and generated more than $15 million in revenue for his own businesses, all while living in China, Vietnam, and now Portugal. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: You'll discover how a single misstep with a business card or a signing pen can cost a deal before it starts, why 320 founder interviews convinced Sean that bootstrapped founders tend to be happier than funded ones, and how a $400,000 gap between what one investor promised and delivered helped sink his last company. Sean also explains how he now runs a business on roughly $50 a month using AI, and why he believes every founder and executive needs a visible presence on LinkedIn. SEAN'S JOURNEY: Sean had no entrepreneurial role model growing up. What moved him was a pull to leave the US, and after missing a deadline for a teaching program in Japan, he landed in China instead and stayed for ten years, learning Mandarin street vendor by street vendor with a notebook and a pen. His first real deal came in 2016, connecting an American founder with a Chinese investor for a $150,000 raise and earning a $7,500 commission. From there he built a $15 million consulting business helping Chinese and Western companies raise money from each other in the blockchain space. His next venture, a tech company built to compete with Slack, taught him a harder lesson. He put in $650,000 of his own money before raising a $1 million seed round, and a $400,000 shortfall from one investor became a major factor in the company's failure. COVID and a divorce followed, which is part of what led him to Portugal for a fresh start. KEY INSIGHTS: Deal culture varies sharply across countries, down to details like how a business card is received. Corey shared a parallel story about a 1980s deal that nearly stalled at signing over missing ceremonial pens. Founder happiness tracks closely with how a company was funded. Across 320-plus interviews, Sean found bootstrapped founders were generally happier than those who raised capital. A funding gap can sink a company as fast as a bad decision can, as Sean's own $400,000 shortfall proved. AI has collapsed the cost of running a business. Sean's infrastructure now costs about $50 a month, down from roughly $1,000 a month at his last company. Visibility has become a gatekeeper for access, with investors now expecting founders to be active on LinkedIn before they'll even take a call. Perfect for founders weighing whether to bootstrap or raise capital, business leaders working across cultures on deals, and anyone trying to build an authentic presence on LinkedIn.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well
Don't stress over parenting advice, as much of it is based on clickbait, panic, and outdated science.In this episode, we hear from science journalists and experts Melinda Wenner Moyer, Tracy Dennis-Tiwary, Jacqueline Nesi in a conversation with Emily on how to spot actual, trustworthy parenting guidance amid all the online noise.Dismantling the myth of the "one-size-fits-all" approach, they explain why classic research was always meant to be flexible and why anyone claiming there is only one right way is usually just selling something. You'll also learn about the deep flaws in historical parenting studies and what modern research is getting right, as well as the viral panic surrounding screen time, extreme media narratives, and the real risks AI companions pose to kids' emotional growth. If you'd appreciate a reassuring, reality-based sanity check on modern parenting so you can tune out the fear and focus on what actually works for your family, tune in for this episode on Parenting Science in the Media.Listen and Learn: How parenting advice moved past simple "good vs. bad" rules to look at how things like culture, environment, and everyday context actually shape what works Calling out rigid parenting advice, spotting the red flags, and breaking down why real child science actually depends on the contextBiases in parenting science and leaning into "goodness of fit" to figure out what actually works for your specific kid How nuanced, multi-method science often gets distorted by media algorithms and fear-based messaging and how to spot misleading science headlines How kids are actively using AI, why vulnerable or unfulfilled kids are most at risk of over-dependence, and how parents can guide their children through open communication rather than strict bans Positive trends in youth resilience and self-control, how modern parenting shifts drive these improvements, and why adults in every generation fall victim to the cognitive bias that "kids these days" are doomed Resources: jacquelinenesi.com melindawennermoyer.com https://www.tracydennistiwary.com/ technosapiens.substack.com https://tracydennistiwary.substack.com melindawmoyer.substack.com.

Our birthday getaway to Cancun was supposed to begin with champagne and celebration—but instead it turned into one of the most unbelievable travel nightmares we've ever experienced. We take everyone behind the scenes of the chaos that started before sunrise when American Airlines canceled our original flight, rebooked us multiple times, changed our gates over and over again, and somehow managed to make an already stressful travel day even more unbelievable. Then came the moment that changed everything. Inside a temporary American Airlines Admirals Club, what should have been a quiet place to regroup quickly became the center of an uncomfortable confrontation with an employee whose behavior left us feeling shocked, intimidated and completely blindsided. We share exactly what happened, why airport police were called, and why even other employees appeared uncomfortable with the situation unfolding around us. Just when we thought the drama was finally behind us, things somehow got worse. We reveal why another Admirals Club refused to let us inside before even hearing our side of the story, how one incredible American Airlines flight attendant completely restored our faith in customer service, and why she encouraged us to publicly share our experience. But the surprises didn't stop there. After finally landing in beautiful Cancun to celebrate Patrik's birthday, we discovered our luggage had somehow been sent to Dallas instead of Mexico, forcing us to postpone photo shoots and spend the first days of our vacation without our belongings. Then came another shocking twist when we almost became victims of a transportation scam at Cancun International Airport that could have cost travelers hundreds of dollars if they weren't paying attention. Along the way we share hilarious moments, laugh through the madness, celebrate SnowWhite90210 traveling like the little VIP she is, and remind ourselves that sometimes the craziest travel disasters become the funniest stories later. This episode is packed with outrageous airport drama, unbelievable customer service stories, travel tips every flyer should know, behind-the-scenes birthday chaos, and proof that even when everything goes wrong, the adventure somehow becomes unforgettable.

I'm digging into something that's genuinely changed how I spend my free time: using AI to build the tool I've wished existed for decades, one that helps me read the world's great literature in its original language. I tell the story of a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow who turned out to be a major figure at Anthropic, and how that connection eventually led me back to a project I'd tried and abandoned before, a computer-assisted reader for Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts. Six months ago, the AI models I tried couldn't get past writing a single working line of code. This time was different, and I walk through exactly what changed, what these models are actually good at, and where they still fall apart.I also get into the weeds a bit, sharing my process for getting better results out of these tools, why my public writing on Quora turns out to matter, and a wild multi-round debugging session with Gemini that kept insisting it had "finally" found all the bugs. I close with a personal aside into a physics insight I've been chasing since the 1970s, and how an AI helped me push it further, even if I lost most of the conversation to a very avoidable software glitch. Along the way I make my case for why AI right now is best thought of as a tireless, brilliant, but occasionally hallucinating army of interns, not a replacement for human judgment.In this episode you will learn:(00:00) How a chance dinner with a Hertz Fellow connected to Anthropic changed my skepticism about the current state of AI(03:37) Why I've always wished a computer could do the tedious lexical lookup work of reading Greek, Latin, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts(06:35) What large language models actually are under the hood, and why they can "spout like an idiot" and "pontificate like a sage" with equal ease(08:57) The multi-round debugging saga where Gemini kept insisting it had found the last bug, and the last bug, and the last bug(11:48) What gets lost in translation, using the hidden joke behind Don Quixote's horse Rocinante as an example(14:43) Inside the Andrew Winkler Reading Room, from the Septuagint to Shakespeare, and why computers and humans make a great reading team(17:10) My feature requests for Google and Apple after losing valuable AI conversations to a silent clipboard failure(19:36) Why I think of AI right now as an army of knowledgeable but wisdom-less interns, and what that means for companies rushing to replace workers with it(22:01) The physics insight I've been sitting on since the 1970s, and how AI helped me extend it into the standard model(24:28) What was lost when my breakthrough AI conversation on unit-free physics vanished, and why I'm sharing the story anywayLet's connect!linktr.ee/drprandyRead, with computer assistance, the best literature the world has ever producedandrew-winkler-reading-room.overskill.appLove Quotient: Stop Dying of Thirst in an Ocean of Love Kickstarterhttps://www.kickstarter.com/projects/amwphd/love-quotient Hosted on Acast.

I had a request from a customer recently who asked if we could give them a report of their database server instances and include CPU usage. This request was filtered through an account executive, so something was lost in translation, but I was confused and asked for clarification, as asking for CPU usage is kind of like asking how fast you were traveling in your car. There needs to be more context. If someone asked you for a report of CPU usage for a database, what would you expect? How would you report this? I'm sure the person asking might make a difference. A fellow DBA, your DBA manager, or maybe an executive could all view this differently. I want to know how things are performing, if there is a trend, or maybe if we are getting value for the hardware we've provisioned, depending on my role. Read the rest of What is CPU Usage?
Send us Fan MailNobody sets out to build a broken system. Every tool your organization is running was the right call the day it was purchased. Someone fought for the budget, ran the validation, and trained the team. And they were right.But the work still doesn't flow.In this episode of Lean by Design, Oscar Gonzalez and Lawrence Wong explore what happens in the space between your systems — the gap that isn't empty, but filled with people. Analysts, coordinators, and scientists spending their afternoons exporting files, reformatting data, and re-keying numbers into a slide deck for a Thursday meeting. People who have quietly become the integration layer their organization never designed.The conversation unpacks what it really costs when tools don't talk to each other: the data that gets lost in translation, the rework that never shows up on a budget line, and the growing frustration of teams who can't get a straight answer to the most basic question — what's the right data?Oscar and Lawrence dig into why this happens — from procurement systems that don't connect to maintenance platforms, to IT contracts that outlast their usefulness, to the reality that as organizations grow, nobody stops to ask whether the tech stack still makes sense. Research shows that 86% of IT leaders say unintegrated tools are adding more complexity than value, and teams are burning nearly 30% of their technical time hand-building integrations that should never have been manual in the first place.This episode is not about which tools to buy or whether to build versus integrate. It's about recognizing that the space between your systems is not a technical problem — it's an ownership problem. And until someone decides to own the gap, people will keep filling it.

Reggie questions if Imai's interpreter is giving the full story, leading to a funny debate about what could be getting lost in translation.
This episode was intended to be a grab-bag of different topics, but we inadvertently dug up a show with a strong theme: translation!We start off with a review of the hot-off-the-presses free magazine Small Planet, which discusses issues around translated science fiction. Even if you didn't know you were interested in languages and translating, you will be after you've heard our discussion.Next we review the classic short film "La Jetée", famously the basis for the film 12 Monkeys. And then the recent Chinese movie Resurrection, directed by Bi Gan.We also have a quiz on SF terms, and our usual run through of recommendations of past, present and future SF. If you'd like to support the show, don't forget you can buy us a coffee!For the full shownotes, check out our blog, here: https://101sf.blogspot.com/2026/07/lost-in-translation-episode-67.html

What comes to mind when you hear the word worship? For many people, it's music, singing, or a Sunday morning service. But worship is much bigger than a song list or a musical style. In this episode of Lost in Translation, we explore what the Bible actually means by worship and discover how worship is not merely something we attend—it's a life lived in response to the worthiness of God. Join us as we unpack one of Christianity's most common words and one of its most misunderstood practices.
Ep. 38 - Fade In & CatchfireThis week, we're facing our past regrets and disowned creations with Jud Taylor's Fade In (1973) and Dennis Hopper's Catchfire (1990). These films represent the absolute limit of corporate interference, operating as flawed, compromised monuments to the nightmare of the studio system. We look at how Jud Taylor's western romance gets completely lost in translation, and how Dennis Hopper legally scrubs his identity from a star-studded thriller. It is a double feature about the high cost of creative compromise, the fragility of structural conventions, and the remnants of pure authorship that persist under duress. Whether it is a studio executive altering a film beyond recognition or a director completely abandoning their own project, both films suggest that when commerce wins, the true story gets buried.
What if understanding one biblical word could change everything about your relationship with God? In the comic strip Peanuts, Lucy fears a thunderstorm might flood the world, but Linus reassures her by explaining God's promise to Noah and the rainbow as a guarantee. Lucy says Linus has really reassured her, and Linus says, “Sound theology has a way of doing that.” Indeed, the church desperately needs sound theology today, especially about salvation—what the entire Bible is all about. In our “Lost in Translation” series, we're defining key biblical words that many Christians don't really understand. Today's topic emerges in Jesus' conversation with Nicodemus, a highly religious Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, to whom Jesus delivered a shocking message: “You must be born again.” This conversation reveals where salvation begins—with regeneration, the miracle where God gives spiritually dead people spiritual life.
A conversation with Dr. Jennifer Bute What small changes can we make to improve our healthcare system?For Dr. Jennifer Bute, it's about improving the way we use communication - both in clinical settings, in training, and particularly: in health insurance denials.Dr. Bute is a professor of Communication Studies at Indiana University, Indianapolis, who studies how people navigate health challenges through communication.After her son was repeatedly denied surgery, she realised the scope of this issue: unclear terminology from insurers, arms-length appeals processes, and exclusionary time commitments.The toll is psychological, practical, financial… we don't need to accept this reality.—We spoke about her lived experience of receiving a denial, how that ignited her mission, her experience using communication and translation to enhance healthcare delivery, how patients can better support and educate themselves during denial situations, and why she ultimately believes it's time for change.Follow me on Instagram and Facebook @ericfethkemd and checkout my website at www.EricFethkeMD.com.

On today's episode of AD Nauseam, Amy and Daniel examine the legal and practical challenges of foreign language advertising, focusing on how companies can effectively reach non-English-speaking consumers in the U.S. while remaining compliant with FTC guidance and state law requirements. They discuss the FTC's expectation that disclosures be clear and conspicuous in the same language as the claims, highlight enforcement actions involving mismatched translations and deceptive practices, and explore additional considerations under state laws governing contracts, privacy notices, and industry-specific rules. The episode also offers practical takeaways on evaluating target audiences, ensuring linguistic consistency across materials, and avoiding common pitfalls when translating advertising content.Questions & Comments: amudge@bakerlaw.com or dkaufman@bakerlaw.com
Jennifer and Kati close out season four with a look back at the conversations that stuck with them — from welcome over shame to hope as a strategy to the quiet reality of the work still getting done — and share their read on where sustainability communications goes from here.They also discuss:• A recent PwC report that finds companies aren't walking away from their net zero targets. Instead, they're getting more rigorous about them.• How the regulatory picture keeps moving, from California's SB 253 to new rules across the EU, APAC and beyond.• The 2026 Ipsos People and Climate Change report that finds fewer individuals seeing their own climate actions as crucial and instead calling for business and government to step up.Have a question for us — or suggestions for season five?

The $1.4M Pricing Gap Most Owners Never Find with Emily Bowie Find Rocky Lalvani @ www.ProfitComesFirst.com or email him at rocky@profitcomesfirst.com Make more, work less video: https://youtu.be/ You pull up the P&L at the end of the month. Profit looks fine. Revenue is up. And you still moved money around to cover payroll. You're not mismanaging your business. You're making decisions off an incomplete report, and nobody told you what it was missing. Emily Bowie spent years auditing companies inside Big Four accounting before she started helping business owners see past the P&L. What she finds most often isn't bad decisions. It's good decisions made without the right numbers. Pricing set without overhead accounted for. Subscriptions compounding unnoticed for years. Tax strategy that arrived in December, too late to do anything that actually mattered. In This Episode: Why the P&L leaves out some of the most important cash movements in your business The $1.4M pricing gap one owner never knew was costing him, and how Emily found it How to run a quarterly expense audit and what it reliably turns up Why your bookkeeper, CPA, and CFO need to talk to each other, not through you The real cash cost of the "go buy something for the tax deduction" advice What Profit First actually protects you from beyond just saving money Why personal financial stability determines how clearly you can think about your business Key Takeaways: Your P&L does not show loan principal payments or balance sheet movements. Cash flow visibility requires a different lens. Pricing without overhead math costs real money on every invoice. One client had $1.4M in recoverable margin sitting uncaptured in a single year. Quarterly expense audits surface subscriptions you've forgotten, monthly plans that cost more than annual options, and tools you stopped using that are still billing. If you are the only person relaying information between your bookkeeper, CPA, and CFO, things are getting lost in translation. They need to talk to each other directly. A year-end "buy something" tax move often costs three to four times the tax saved in cash drag over the following months. About Emily Bowie: Emily Bowie is a Cash Flow Strategist with 15+ years of experience, including her time as an audit manager in Big Four accounting. She's known for bringing calm, clarity, and structure to financial conversations that often feel stressful or avoided. Outside of Thorne Advisors, Emily leads her church's financial ministry, is a mom to three young kids, and enjoys a good DIY project almost as much as a well-organized set of financials.

It's Lost in Translation time. We're going down under for this installment, with a series that really pushed the envelope in Australia for most of the 70s, but barely made a whimper in the United States. Was it because the American version didn't have the edginess? Was it due to scheduling? Could there have been too much going on? Could it have been due to similar but more popular shows on other networks? (Yes times four.)

Women receive less than 1% of climate finance in the US and about 5% globally. And yet research consistently shows that women who do get funded generate more than twice the revenue per dollar invested compared to male peers.So why does the gap persist?Jessica Espinoza, CEO of 2X Global, joins Jennifer and Kati to unpack the intersection of gender equity and climate action. Since 2018, 2X Global has mobilized $34 billion in gender lens investments. Jessica's work spans creating the Gender Smart Climate Finance Toolkit, launching facilities that back women fund managers and building communities of practice where investors learn from peers already doing the work.Have a question for us?

Taboo to Truth: Unapologetic Conversations About Sexuality in Midlife
A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger E. Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC, May 31, 2026, First Sunday after Pentecost, Confirmation Sunday. "We Know Who We Are"series. Texts: Genesis 1:26-2:3; Ephesians 2:4–10 There are some words in scripture that change everything. Not because they're long or unusual. But because they turn the whole story in a different direction. Today's passage contains two of those words: “But God.” Before we can appreciate those words, we need to know what precedes them. In the first 3 verses of Ephesians 2, Paul reminds the church in Ephesus of their old ways of being. The direct translation from the Greek is convoluted and confusing, but Eugene Peterson's interpretation from The Message helps us get the point: “It wasn't so long ago that you were mired in that old stagnant life of sin. You let the world, which doesn't know the first thing about living, tell you how to live…We all did it, all of us doing what we felt like doing, when we felt like doing it, all of us in the same boat. It's a wonder God didn't lose his temper and do away with the whole lot of us.” And then…. “But God…” The old story gets interrupted. It moves in a new direction. Which is good news because most of us know something about stories that seem stuck in a rut. Maybe you've carried shame for something you did years ago. Maybe you've convinced yourself that some part of your life is beyond repair. Maybe you've spent so long trying to prove your worth that you've forgotten who you are underneath all the striving. Maybe you've watched the news lately and wondered whether cruelty and greed and fear are simply winning. The story goes one way. But God… That little phrase shows up all over scripture. Human beings build a tower to heaven. But God. Sarah is too old. But God. The sea is in front of them. Pharaohs army is behind them. But God. The disciples lock themselves in a room because they are terrified. But God. The cross stands on a hill outside Jerusalem. But God. Mary Magdalene despaired at the tomb. But God. Again and again, scripture insists that God is never limited by the stories we tell ourselves about what is possible. What a gift. Because one of the stories many of us carry is the story that we have to earn our way. This is so ingrained in our culture and mindset. We learn that story early. We learn it from grades and report cards. From performance reviews. From comparisons. From all the subtle ways the world teaches us to keep score. We absorb these lessons so deeply that eventually we begin to assume that God works this way too. God helps those who help themselves. God rewards the faithful. God blesses the deserving. God keeps score. But this is precisely the story Paul is trying to undo. Our temptation to slide into the world's quid pro quo economy isn't new. And in these few verses, Paul takes pains to refute it—not with an abstract argument, but by showing us, phrase by phrase, who God is and how grace works. So let's move through the text together and listen deeply to the word. Notice where Paul begins. “But God, who is rich in mercy...” Rich in mercy. Before Paul says anything about us, he says something about God. After describing the sorry, lost state of humanity, Paul doesn't say, “But we finally figured it out.” He doesn't say, “But we repented.” He doesn't say, “But we became more faithful.” He doesn't say, “But we got serious about our spiritual lives.” He says, “But God.” The turning point of the story is not a change in us. It is a revelation of who God is. “But God, who is rich in mercy...” Paul could have said simply, “God is merciful.” He doesn't. He says God is plousios (πλούσιος)—in the Greek: rich, abundant, lavish—in mercy. Possessing more mercy than we can imagine. This is so important! Because most of us have been trained to think in terms of scarcity. There's never enough time or money or security or opportunity. There is not enough to go around. There are only so many slices of any pie. And if we're not careful, we start to imagine that God's resources are limited too. Limited patience. Limited forgiveness. Limited love. Limited welcome. Only so many second chances. As though mercy were something God has to budget carefully. As though grace might run out. As though God were standing over us with a ledger, keeping score, calculating whether we've finally earned another chance. But Paul says, “Nope. That's not who God is.” Mercy is not scarce in God. Mercy is abundant in God. God's mercy is not pie—and there's not limited supply! Mercy flows from God as naturally as light from the sun. And lest we miss the point, Paul piles on another phrase: “Out of the great love with which God loved us.” It's almost as though he can't find enough words—mercy, love, grace, kindness. The language keeps overflowing because Paul is trying to describe a reality that exceeds ordinary human calculation. The world understands transaction. But God operates through grace. And perhaps that is why grace is so difficult for us to receive. We know how to earn. We know what it takes to achieve. We know the way to keep score. Many of us have spent our entire lives trying to prove that we are worthy of love, worthy of belonging, worthy of respect, worthy of a place at the table. And some versions of Christianity have reinforced exactly that impulse. Behave yourself and God will bless you. Believe the right things and God will reward you. Get your life together and God will finally accept you. Or the flip side: Mess up and God will punish you. Doubt and God will reject you. Fail and God will turn away. But Paul will have none of it. “By grace you have been saved.” Grace! We are not saved by following the rules or checking the boxes or through achievement or merit. The story isn't about keeping score or about earned interest and love averages. “By grace you have been saved.” Grace. One of the most beautiful insights of the United Methodist movement is that grace starts earlier than we think it does. We tend to imagine that grace begins the moment we become aware of God. But John Wesley said no. Grace was already there. We think grace begins when we decide to follow Jesus. Wesley said no. Grace was already there. We think grace begins when we repent. Wesley said no. Grace was already there. Before faith, grace. Before understanding, grace. Before discipleship, grace. Before baptism, grace. Before confirmation, grace. Long before we know how to pray, grace is already making a way toward us. Long before we know God's name, God knows ours. United Methodists call this prevenient grace—the grace that goes before. The grace that is always preceding us, drawing us, inviting us, wooing us toward life. And I don't know about you, but I find that to be astonishingly good news. Because it means that the story of faith begins not with our searching for God, but with God's refusal to stop searching for us. But Paul isn't finished. He goes further, saying God “made us alive together with Christ.” Alive—not merely forgiven or a little nicer. Alive. This is resurrection language. It is creation language. It's the language of new possibility. This strikes me as especially powerful in a world where so many people are exhausted and carrying grief. Where so many people are overwhelmed by the state of the world and struggling simply to keep their hearts open. Paul speaks a pastoral word into our lives, assuring us that grace is not merely about doing more today to get into heaven someday. Grace is the power that makes us alive right now. Alive to God. Alive to beauty. Alive to joy. Alive to compassion. Alive to possibility and hope. And there is something else here that often gets lost in translation. Paul doesn't say that God made me alive. He says God made us alive. The language throughout this passage is communal. Every “you” in the text is plural. It's not about me; it's about we. Which means the story is not simply about God saving isolated individuals. It is about God creating a people. A community. A new humanity. People shaped not by fear, scarcity, or competition, but rather shaped by grace, abundance, and love. Today, a group of young people will stand before us to profess their faith. And what moves me every year is that confirmation is not fundamentally about private belief. It is about belonging. These young people are not simply saying, “I believe.” They are saying, “This is my people. This is the community in which I will learn what it means to follow Jesus.” And we are saying, “We need you. Your voice, your gifts, your questions, your presence will continue to shape who we become.” Because grace doesn't merely gather individuals. Grace creates a people. Paul addresses this in what he says next. “We are what God has made us, created in Christ Jesus for good works...” The Greek word translated here as “what God has made” is poiēma (ποίημα). It's where we get the word poem. You could translate it: We are God's handiwork. God's artistry. God's creative work. And suddenly the echo of Genesis comes into view. The God who formed creation, breathed life into dust, and called it good is still creating, still forming, still calling beauty forth from chaos and light from darkness. We spend so much of our lives trying to make ourselves. Trying to prove ourselves. Trying to justify ourselves. Trying to become enough. Paul says we are not self-made. We are God-made. We are God's handiwork, God's poem. God's art. God's ongoing project. And we are already enough—even as we keep learning and growing. Now, at this point, some people get nervous. If grace is this abundant, if salvation is truly a gift, if God's love comes before we earn it and before we deserve it, then what keeps us from simply doing whatever we want? Paul is clear that we don't earn our salvation. And he is equally clear that God created us for good works. Good works are not the cause of salvation, they are the fruit of salvation, evidence that grace is alive and active within us. Or to put it another way: God doesn't love us because we do good things. We begin to do good things because we have encountered the love of God. Grace is not an excuse to do nothing. Grace is an invitation to participate in what God is doing in the world. Grace is bigger than we think. It is not merely a drop of help when we're struggling or a nudge of encouragement when we're discouraged. It is not a small boost for the spiritual journey. It is the power of God's mercy and love constantly interrupting the stories that diminish life and opening up new possibilities we could never create on our own. And because grace is bigger than we think, it keeps interrupting the stories that tell us life can only go one way. The world says there isn't enough. But God is rich in mercy. The world says you have to earn your place. But God saves by grace. The world says shame gets the last word. But God is great in love. The world says what is dead is dead. But God makes us alive. The world says you're on your own. But God makes us alive together. The world says this is all there is. But God is still creating. Still shaping. Still calling life from dust. Still making all things new. The story was going one way. But God. Thanks be to God. Amen. + + + Keep a daily grace log. At the end of each day, ask: Where did I experience a “But God” moment today? Where did grace go before me? Where did mercy, love, beauty, hope, community, or possibility interrupt the story I expected?
In this episode, the we welcome back guest host, Dr. Neelou Weeker, and ED nurse, Leigh Clary, to discuss the critical intersection of language barriers, patient equity, and emergency care. Through two powerful clinical scenarios, the team explores the “gold standards” of medical translation, the challenges of resource-limited community settings, and how TeamSTEPPS tools—specifically closed-loop communication and situational monitoring—can be leveraged to ensure true informed consent and patient safety. The Gold Standard vs. Clinical Reality Providing equitable care means ensuring every patient, regardless of language or culture, fully understands their medical team. While academic centers are often highly resourced, executing communication seamlessly remains a universal challenge. 1. Translation Tools and Hierarchy The Gold Standard: Video- or audio-based professional interpretation tablets allow face-to-face or direct vocal translation. The Secondary Backup: In-house dual-handset “blue phones” connect directly to professional phone lines when tablets experience connectivity issues. The Tertiary Backup: Multilingual staff members can help act as a bridge. Many institutions feature language fluencies on staff ID badges. Note: Staff members should only be used to establish initial rapport or identify the required dialect, not as official medical interpreters. The Danger of Family Interpreters: While family members bring invaluable cultural context and an understanding of the patient’s baseline, studies show they only correctly interpret medical dialogue 19% of the time. The Bottom Line: Always utilize the official route first. When technology fails, do your absolute best—never settle for “good enough” when better communication is possible. 2. Academic vs. Community and Rural Settings Emergency medicine requires extreme adaptability. In resource-limited community or rural hospitals, finding an interpreter for less commonly spoken languages can take upwards of 30 minutes. Physicians must sometimes physically carry translation phones from room to room while managing other patients just to maintain an open line with a rare-dialect interpreter. Applying TeamSTEPPS to Patient Communication We routinely use TeamSTEPPS tools to communicate with our fellow clinicians, but we must remember that the patient is the most important member of the healthcare team. 1. Closed-Loop Communication & The Teach-Back Method To confirm true patient understanding, avoid simple “yes or no” questions, nods, or smiles. Instead, utilize the Teach-Back Method, requiring the patient to repeat the instructions or choices back to you in their own words. How to Phrase It (Taking Responsibility): “I want to make sure that I have been clear in what I’ve said to you. To help me feel reassured that I communicated everything correctly, could you tell me what you understand is going on?” Clinical Value: This is particularly vital for high-stakes decisions and ED discharge instructions. Multimodal Approach: In high-stakes moments, combine professional translation, family context, and teach-back to minimize errors. 2. Situational Monitoring Resuscitative environments are chaotic, and the primary physician trying to run a cod or secure an airway has immense cognitive load. The Team Safety Net: Other team members (nurses, techs, scribes) can help monitor the situation and catch critical communication errors. Reconciling Clinical Urgency with Informed Consent How do you balance the immediate need to save a life with the time-consuming process of formal translation? The ABC Priority: First and foremost, secure Airway, Breathing, and Circulation. If a patient presents to the ED in extremis and cannot communicate, clinicians must operate under the assumption that the patient wants life-saving measures performed. Task Delegation: While the medical team manages the immediate ABCs, immediately task support staff (such as social workers) with finding an official interpreter, locating family members, and gathering background information. Next Steps: Once the ABCs are stable, the team has the time and space to pause, establish formal translation, and dive deeper into informed consent for further procedures. Key Takeaways Acknowledge the Bias of Urgency: Time pressure can tempt us to bypass official translation channels. Guard against this by maintaining an equity-first mindset. Close the Loop with Patients: Ensure they can paraphrase their care plan or consent choices. Protect the Team via Shared Roles: Trust your teammates to monitor the big picture and catch subtle communication gaps during high-stress resuscitations. Do you use TeamSTEPPS or a similar model in your ED? We'd love to hear what has been successful for your team.

If you're an artist, when would you like recognition to strike? Do you want it to be in your lifetime, only to be forgotten decades after your death? Or do you want to remain undiscovered, with your story potentially echoing for centuries after you've been discovered posthumously? These are some of the thorny questions Dan and Elizabeth consider in this episode about artistic failure. Together, they trace the stories of artists whose lives don't neatly match up with the reputations their works have gathered: French writer George Sand, and the painters Vincent Van Gogh, and Artemisia Gentileschi. Each artist presents a differing experience of the kaleidoscope that is artistic failure: Van Gogh and Gentileschi suffered great personal anguish yet have given the world canonical paintings, while Sand was one of the most popular novelists of the 19th century – only to be cast out of the canon in the next century. So what would you rather: Acclaim now, or acclaim posthumously? – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. And don't forget to listen to this season's accompanying bonus episodes for this miniseries, where Dan and Producer Al are dissecting the biggest historical failures as submitted by the royal favourites. In this episode, they discuss a potential research fail about Battle of Hastings, what happens when failure is lost in translation, and what American Reconstruction can teach us about historical failure. – A Sony Music Entertainment production.
