Hii leo jaridani tunakuletea mada kwa kina. Malengo ya Maendeleo Endelevu ya Umoja wa Mataifa (SDGs) yanatambua kuwa kuwawezesha vijana, kulinda mazingira na kuimarisha uhakika wa kupata chakula ni miongoni mwa nguzo muhimu za kujenga jamii zenye ustahimilivu na maendeleo endelevu. Kupitia malengo kama vile la Kutokomeza umaskini, kutokomeza njaa na hatua dhidi ya mabadiliko ya tabianchi , jamii zinahimizwa kuwekeza katika suluhisho zinazowawezesha wananchi kujitegemea huku zikihifadhi mazingira kwa vizazi vya sasa na vijavyo. Hatua hizo zinatekelezwa katika enoe la Kajiado Kaskazini, katika kaunti ya Kajiado, kusini mwa Kenya kama anavyosimulia Kelvin Keitany wa radio washirika, Domus Radio.Hii leo Umoja wa Mataifa umekuwa na matukio mbalimbali ya kuadhimisha siku ya Mandela, Rais wa kwanza mweusi wa taifa la Afrika Kusini kwa mchango wake wa utetezi wa haki. Miongoni mwa kulikofanyika maadhimisho hayo ni Nairobi, Kenya ambako Stella Vuzo wa Kituo cha Habari cha Umoja wa Mataifa alikuwa shuhuda wetu. Licha ya idadi ya magari duniani kuongezeka kwa zaidi ya bilioni moja, Shirika la Umoja wa Mataifa la Afya Duniani WHO limesema vifo vinavyotokana na ajali za barabarani vimepungua kwa asilimia 21 kati ya mwaka 2011 na 2025. Hata hivyo, ajali hizo bado zilisababisha vifo vya zaidi ya watu milioni 1 mwaka jana na zinaendelea kuwa chanzo kikuu cha vifo kwa watoto na vijana wenye umri wa miaka 5 hadi 29Na, Je, msikilizaji wangu, uliwahi kujiuliza kwa nini binadamu bado wanarudi kuchunguza Mwezi ulioko anga za juu , zaidi ya miaka 50 baada ya kutua huko kwa mara ya kwanza? Leo Julai 20, dunia inaadhimisha Siku ya Kimataifa ya mwezi. Umoja wa Mataifa uliitenga siku hii kuenzi tukio la kihistoria la mwaka 1969, wakati wanaanga wa safari ya Apollo 11 walipoweka nyayo za kwanza za binadamu mwezini. Lakini maadhimisho haya hayaishii kwenye historia tu bali yanasisitiza pia umuhimu wa ushirikiano wa kimataifa katika utafiti wa anga za juu na kuhakikisha uchunguzi wa mwezi unafanyika kwa amani na kwa manufaa ya watu wote duniani.".Mwenyeji wako ni Assumpta Massoi, karibu!

Ep 291 Peacewarts: Resonant Charms - The Power of the Pause (Class 8) In class 8, we analyze silence as a physical and diplomatic requirement for peace. We traverse history from Mandela's Robben Island council to the 1986 Reykjavik Summit and the Good Friday Agreement. We introduce a tactical syllabus of silence, including the 90-second window, the two-interpreter rule used by UN Blue Helmets, and the Japanese concept of Ma. Homework: Look up the Gottman Institute's 90-Second Rule or the Japanese concept of Ma and find how they use silence to show respect. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Journal about using the email delay or 90-second window in your own life. Books: If you'd like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions areThe Art of Communicating by Thich Nhat Hanh, which beautifully details the spiritual and practical power of absolute silence and deep listening as essential tools for clarity in family and community life, and Silence: In the Age of Noise by Erling Kagge, a brief, impactful text exploring how strategic pauses and quietude allow us to process truth and override reactionary reflexes. Learning Topics: The Silencio Charm; Mandela's Robben Island Rule; The 1986 Reykjavik Reset; The 90-Second Window; The Three-Breath Rule; The Two-Interpreter Rule; Japanese Ma; The Good Friday Agreement Adjournments.

Ce jour-là, dans le petit village de Mvezo, en Afrique du Sud, naît Nelson Rolihlahla Mandela du clan "Madiba", ça va devenir son surnom d'ailleurs. En langue locale, Rolihlahla signifie celui qui tire la branche d'un arbre, autrement dit, le fauteur de trouble. Et on peut le dire, il va bien porter son nom. C'est en réalité à l'école qu'un professeur anglais lui donne un prénom occidental, Nelson. Souvenez-vous, l'époque est à la domination coloniale, à la ségrégation, à l'humiliation codifiée. Les Noirs n'ont pas le droit de vote, pas le droit d'exister à égalité. Mandela, lui, rêve déjà d'autre chose. Avocat, militant, prisonnier, pendant 27 ans, il devient le visage et la voix de la lutte contre l'Apartheid. Mais ce qui frappe, c'est que quand il sort de prison, en 1990, il ne réclame ni vengeance, ni revanche. Il appelle à l'unité, à la dignité, au pardon. 4 ans plus tard, il devient le premier président noir d'Afrique du Sud. Une image qui fait le tour du monde, celle d'un homme qui a su transformer sa colère en force morale. Le 18 juillet 1918, ce n'est pas seulement un grand homme qui naît. C'est une conscience, une leçon vivante de courage et d'humanité. Aujourd'hui encore, chaque 18 juillet, on célèbre dans le monde entier le Mandela Day. Pas par des discours, mais par des actes. 67 minutes données aux autres. Une minute pour chaque année qu'il a consacrée à la justice.

Com “Sons da Liberdade”, profissionais juntam-se à campanha para marcar Dia Internacional Nelson Mandela, que convida voluntários a dedicar 67 minutos às comunidades; número representa quantidade de anos que Madiba dedicou à luta contra apartheid e à defesa dos direitos humanos.

Ep 290 Peacewarts Lab  7/18/26 - Always Disallow Foolishness: A Rule for Peace Peacewarts Labs are casual review sessions where we dig into the homework from the Peacewarts classes. In this lab, Avis Kalfsbeek walks through some of the assignments from Episodes 287, 288, and 289. Here's what we look up: The "Oakland Unified Restorative Justice" model — and the three classic circle questions used to work through a conflict. The 2003 Women of Liberia Mass Action for Peace — and one specific tactic they used to keep Christian and Muslim women united around a shared goal. Nelson Mandela's first meeting with President P.W. Botha — and one small detail (about the tea, or the greeting) that Mandela used to protect Botha's dignity. Shakespeare Sherpa Club: Just to keep her nerd credentials intact, Avis gives a shout-out to her Shakespeare Sherpa Club. Grab the free downloadable character bookmarks at www.AvisKalfsbeek.com/shakespearesherpa. Always Disallow Foolishness: Avis talks about the track 10 Laws by East Forest, which features the spoken voice of Court Johnson reading the ten explicit laws he lives by. She zeroes in on one of them — Always Disallow Foolishness — and how it connects to global peace. Media Bias Detectors: Avis rounds up some tools for figuring out the bias in the news we take in. Ground News (groundnews.org) — A data-driven platform that lays out the ownership, factual reliability, and political lean (left, center, right) of news stories from around the world. Runs about $60/year. Want to get similar insights without paying? Here are the best free alternatives: AllSides (allsides.com) — Probably the go-to free option for bias tracking. Its "Headline Roundups" put left, center, and right coverage of the same story side by side, so you can see how each side frames it. Free, no ads. Ad Fontes Media (adfontesmedia.com) — The folks behind the interactive Media Bias Chart. Great for seeing where an outlet lands on a two-axis grid measuring both political bias and journalistic reliability. Media Bias/Fact Check (mediabiasfactcheck.com) — An independent directory where you can search a specific outlet and check its track record on factual reporting and political lean. NewsGuard (newsguardtech.com) — Focuses on credibility over ideology, scoring sites 0–100 for trustworthiness based on standard journalistic criteria. RSS Readers (feedly.com or inoreader.com) — Free tools that let you build your own diverse news feed from independent sources, breaking out of the algorithm's echo chamber by putting you back in control.

Ep 289 Peacewarts: Resonant Charms - The Vocabulary of Dignity (Class 7) In class 7, we explore the "Vocabulary of Dignity" and the three core needs: to be seen, heard, and safe. We analyze Nelson Mandela's micro-practices of respect, including his "Future Self" language and his refusal to use sarcasm or public shaming. We discuss how honorifics and formal address can lower threat chemistry and keep negotiations focused on solutions rather than egos. Homework: Look up Nelson Mandela's first meeting with President P.W. Botha and find one detail about the etiquette Mandela used to preserve Botha's dignity. Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Journal about speaking to a difficult person's "Future Self." What is one sentence that protects their dignity while maintaining your truth? Books: If you'd like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions are Dignity: Its Essential Role in Resolving Conflict by Donna Hicks, which explores the ten core elements of human dignity and focuses heavily on how preserving or violating face determines the ultimate success of high-stakes diplomacy, and Crucial Conversations: Tools for Talking When Stakes Are High by Joseph Grenny, Kerry Patterson, and their coauthors, a widely recognized staple on creating the necessary psychological safety so people can speak honestly and directly without stripping away each other's dignity. Learning Topics: The Three Dignity Needs; Mandela's Grammar of Respect; Saving Face vs. Saving Power; The Language of Future Selves; The Non-Sarcasm Rule; Red lines spoken softly.

On Mandela Day, South Africa's record is under scrutiny. Xenophobic attacks, migrant repatriations, high unemployment and deep inequality raise a difficult question: what would Mandela say today?

No episódio #162 do Conecta, em sua 6ª temporada, os advogados Marcos Eberhardt e Nereu Giacomolli debatem o tema "O júri e as regras de Mandela", abordando a relação entre o Tribunal do Júri, os direitos da pessoa acusada e os parâmetros internacionais de tratamento digno no sistema de justiça criminal.

Esta semana en Madrid Directo en la sección de viajes con César Sa, El turista viajamos siguiendo los pasos de Nelson Mandela en Sudáfrica.

Gary John Bishop is the New York Times bestselling author behind Unfuk Yourself* and Stop Doing That Sht*, whose books have sold over 4.5 million copies and whose audiobooks alone have topped 2 million. Making his sixth appearance on the show, the Scottish philosopher and personal development author joins Larry to break down his newest book, Now What, and challenge the entire premise of self-help. This conversation gets into why chasing the next fix keeps you stuck, how your old solutions quietly become your current problems, and why self-invention beats self-improvement for good. If you're a dad who's done all the work, read all the books, and still catches himself asking why life feels the same, this one will reframe how you see time, identity, and being present with your kids.   Timeline Summary [1:02] – Gary returns for his sixth appearance and the "Larry and Gary Show" reunion [3:13] – The line that started it all: solving your life instead of living in it [5:23] – Why the book slapped Gary around as he wrote it and questioned everything he knew [6:38] – Realizing most of what we call fulfillment is actually just relief [8:03] – Now is not a time, now is a place, and now is eternal, but you're not [11:28] – How Gary scrapped a finished manuscript and rewrote the guts in 30 days [14:20] – The difference between having knowledge of something and truly knowing it [22:12] – How old solutions become current problems: work ethic turning into workaholism [27:03] – Larry on his son's graduation and why he felt joy instead of regret [29:52] – The meerkat in the cathedral and why context is your one true superpower [32:16] – Alan Watts on standing in a river with the past and future always here [36:13] – Self-invention over self-improvement and why the "self" isn't broken [41:20] – Declaring who you are as accomplished and letting it call you forward [48:00] – What to do when the people closest to you resist the new version of you [53:03] – Why we prefer the certainty of misery over the uncertainty of joy [1:00:26] – The simplest way to teach kids this thinking through better questions   5 Key Takeaways Stop Solving, Start Living — Most people spend their whole lives fixing the problem in front of their face, then wonder why relief never comes. A life you create still has problems, but they're the right ones. Old Solutions Become New Problems — The job, the relationship, the work ethic you built to fix an old pain often becomes the very thing troubling you now. Recognizing that pattern is how you stop repeating it. Context Is Your Superpower — You can't always change what's happening, but you can shift the context you hold it in. Mandela sat in the same cell for years and chose to experience it as a life of service. Self-Invention Beats Self-Improvement — You aren't a broken, fixed thing that needs better habits. Through language you can declare who you are right now and let that identity call new actions out of you. Teach Kids to Question, Not to Comply — Instead of correcting kids, ask them where they heard that, what they're making it mean, and what else it could mean. "Now what?" asked honestly and repeatedly shifts any story.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links — https://thedadedge.com/1503 Join the Dad Edge Alliance — https://thedadedge.com/join Dad Edge Boardroom Goal Setting Intensive — https://thedadedge.com/goals Now What by Gary John Bishop — available wherever books are sold Gary John Bishop's website — https://garyjohnbishop.com Follow Gary John Bishop on Instagram — https://instagram.com/garyjohnbishop Follow Gary John Bishop on TikTok — https://tiktok.com/@garyjohnbishop    Enjoyed This Episode?

McShane, Fitz, and Jefe return after taking a week off for America's 250th. They recap a calm holiday weekend and pivot to major topics: NYC Mayor Mamdani's immigrant-enclave map omits Little Italy, Irish/Scottish areas, and Jewish enclaves, which they argue signals erasing history and fuels backlash. They discuss rumors that Mitch McConnell “died,” skepticism toward claims he's fine, and note Elaine Chao's China meetings as suspicious. They call out heavy CERN discourse as a narrative, rejecting recent “Mandela effect” claims while acknowledging anxiety about time and distraction. They review beers (Stoup Mothership IPA, Roses by the Stairs smoked porter critique, Mortalis coffee stout praised, Fremont Orange and Cacao barrel-aged stout praised) and warn robots and AI-body control tech are becoming dangerously real.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/razor-wire-news--5683729/support.www.razorwirenews.com

Kencan Dengan Tuhan - Minggu, 12 Juli 2026Bacaan: "Tetapi segera Yesus berkata kepada mereka: "Tenang! Aku ini, jangan takut!" (Matius 14:27)Renungan: Pada tahun 1993, Nelson Mandela baru 3 tahun keluar dari penjara setelah 27 tahun dipenjara di Afrika Selatan. Negaranya sedang di ujung tanduk. Kulit putih takut kehilangan kuasa. Kulit hitam marah dan mau membalas dendam. Perang saudara hampir meledak setiap hari. Semua penasihatnya berkata, "Pakai kekuatan dan balas. Amankan posisi dulu." Tapi Mandela masuk ke ruangannya, berdoa, lalu mengambil keputusan yang membuat dunia kaget. Dia undang mantan sipir penjaranya makan siang di istana. Dia membentuk "Komisi Kebenaran dan Rekonsiliasi". Dia memilih mengampuni daripada membalas. Ketika ia ditanya mengapa berani ambil risiko sebesar itu, dia menjawab, "Saya sudah 27 tahun hidup dalam ketakutan dan kebencian. Saat saya keluar dari penjara, saya sadar kalau saya tidak melepaskan itu, maka saya masih di dalam penjara." Mandela memilih tenang di tengah badai, karena dia percaya ada panggilan yang lebih besar daripada rasa takutnya. Bacaan Injil di atas terjadi saat murid-murid ada di tengah danau Galilea. Angin kencang, ombak besar dan perahu hampir tenggelam. Mereka melihat "sesuatu" jalan di atas air dan berteriak ketakutan, mengira itu adalah hantu. Di titik paling panik itu, Yesus datang. Kalimat pertama-Nya bukan, "Aku akan meredakan badai", tetapi kalimat pertama-Nya adalah, "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!" Yesus dalam hal ini mau mengingatkan bahwa sebelum Ia membereskan masalah kita, ketahuilah dulu siapa yang ada bersama kita. Badai boleh tetap ada. Tapi kalau "Aku ini" ada di perahu, maka kita tidak akan tenggelam. "Danau" kita saat ini mungkin berbeda, tetapi ombaknya sama kencang, yaitu pertama badai Ketidakpastian, contohnya dalam hal kerja, ekonomi, masa depan dll. Kita seperti para murid melihat gelombang, bukan melihat Yesus. Yesus berkata, 'Tenanglah! Aku pegang kendali hidupmu." Kedua badai hubungan. Ada luka, kecewa, pengkhianatan dll. Godaannya adalah kita mau membalas atau menghindar. Mandela mengajar kita memilih tenang dan memilih pengampunan, karena ada Yesus bersama kita. Ketiga badai batin. Ada kecemasan, kegagalan dan merasa tidak cukup. Kita berteriak dalam hati. Yesus datang dan berkata hal yang sama, "Tenanglah! Aku ini. Kamu tidak sendirian. Kita sering meminta Tuhan membereskan badainya dulu baru kita tenang. Tapi Tuhan minta kita percaya dulu bahwa Dia ada, barulah kita bisa tenang di tengah badai. Tuhan Yesus memberkati. Doa:Tuhan Yesus, ampunilah aku yang sering lebih fokus pada badai daripada kehadiran-Mu. Hari ini aku mau mendengar suara-Mu: "Tenanglah! Aku ini, jangan takut!" Mampukan aku seperti Mandela, untuk tidak dikuasai takut dan benci. Peganglah tanganku di tengah gelombang hidupku. Amin. (Dod).

Ep 285 Peacewarts: Resonant Charms 101 - The Architecture of a Sentence (Class 4) In class 4, we analyze the "Pronoun Blueprint" and the internal structure of speech to understand how sentences can either bridge divides or ignite factions. We compare the distributive responsibility found in Lincoln's Second Inaugural and Nelson Mandela's 1994 inaugural address. We also introduce the Metaphor Temperature Test as a tool for identifying and cooling high-conflict rhetoric. Homework: Look up the final paragraph of Lincoln's Second Inaugural (1865) and a short passage from Mandela's Inaugural (1994). Write down one question about any of this episode's topics. If you don't have a question, write 'no question.' Optional: Review your last three emails or texts during a disagreement. Apply the Metaphor Temperature Test and rewrite one sentence to change its temperature. If you'd like to read more on this subject, some book suggestions are Lincoln at Gettysburg: The Words that Remade America by Garry Wills, a brilliant masterclass on sentence architecture and structural balance that demonstrates how deliberate rhetoric can reshape a fractured national identity, and Long Walk to Freedom by Nelson Mandela, which provides the essential global perspective on using balanced, inclusive language to distribute social responsibility and systematically mend a divided nation. Learning Topics: The Pronoun Blueprint (we/our vs. you/they); Distributed responsibility in leadership; Lincoln and Mandela as case studies; The Metaphor Temperature Test; Parallel structure as a de-escalation tool.

Like Father, Like Son Pastor Mark Havel Matthew 10:24-39“A disciple is not above the teacher, nor a slave above the master; it is enough for the disciple to be like the teacher, and the slave like the master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebul, how much more will they malign those of his household!“So have no fear of them; for nothing is covered up that will not be uncovered, and nothing secret that will not become known. What I say to you in the dark, tell in the light; and what you hear whispered, proclaim from the housetops.“Do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul; rather fear him who can destroy both soul and body in hell. Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. And even the hairs of your head are all counted. So do not be afraid; you are of more value than many sparrows.“Everyone therefore who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven; but whoever denies me before others, I also will deny before my Father in heaven.“Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to set a man against his father, and a daughter against her mother, and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; and one's foes will be members of one's own household.“Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me; and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.” My oldest son, Jackson, who is 22, spent a rainy morning with me on vacation in South Haven, Michigan, this past week, milling around a couple of antique stores there. (“Antique malls,” actually, is what the call them.) It has to be raining and/or vacation for me to do much resembling “antiquing,” but I was there for the nostalgia of seeing old toys from my childhood and whatever vinyl records I might find. Jack was there for the sports memorabilia and baseball cards. He scored a few of the latter and I found myself a pretty clean copy of Bruce Springsteen's “Darkness on the Edge of Town.”While we were looking through a treasure trove of old Sports Illustrated magazines – mostly from the 1970's and 80's – a stranger walked by, looked at Jack, then looked at me, then probably back at Jack, and declared, “Well that apple didn't fall far from the tree, did it?” We both laughed and I told him we'd heard that before. To which he said, with awe, “It's remarkable.” I don't always think we look THAT MUCH alike, though many of you have said so, over the years. But when a stranger notices and feels compelled to call it out in public, I guess there's no denying it.And it's always been a compliment to me – even if I can't always see it – that I share a resemblance with either of my boys. But anyone who's ever been 12 or 13 or 16 or 17 knows the LAST thing you'd count as a compliment is for someone to think you look like one of your parents.You know, those times in childhood and adolescence when you can't stand being seen with, let alone be seen as looking like, your mom or your dad. You know, those moments when kids stop holding mom's hands at the store; when they cringe anytime dad makes conversation with their friends; or when they rush from the car in the school drop-off line as if the vehicle was on fire.And all of this had me thinking about some of what I hear Jesus saying in this morning's Gospel. Specifically, it made me think of what it means when Jesus talks about acknowledging or denying God, the Father, in our daily lives.See, Jesus uses all sorts of images, illustrations and hyperbole today – and it's okay … important … faithful … and a relief, actually, to recognize some of this as exaggeration and hyperbole. All of this talk about peace and swords, setting family members against one another, about not being worthy of Jesus, is nothing more and nothing less than naming the seriousness of our call to be disciples and followers of Christ in the world. So I don't we need to take Jesus LITERALLY at every turn, this morning, as long as we take him SERIOUSLY. Because discipleship is a serious thing. It was in the days of the Jesus and it is meant to be, still. It calls for bold confession, faithful practice, and courageous action, more often than we're always inclined.And, remember, Jesus is talking to his first disciples today, knowing all sorts of persecutions and temptations are in store for them because of what he's asking. When he talks about coming “not for peace, but with a sword,” he's not doing away with his title as the Prince of Peace or with his command to love one another – AND our enemies. Jesus is saying that, too often, the kind of amazing, radical, counter-cultural, life-changing grace, mercy, and peace God offers is more than some people can handle. And that in order to really get it and to truly proclaim it and to faithfully share it means to surprise and to separate and to send people reeling from time to time.(If you need proof of the kind of threat that sort of grace is to some people, you should see some of the hateful, frightening comments I hid from my Facebook feed after posting just a clip from my last sermon. Among other things, you should know, I'm an evil, demonic, blaspheming, false prophet who's going straight to Hell – I deserve it – and I'm bringing all of you with me.)All of this is to say, Jesus wants his people – his people – to be realistic about, and ready for, the consequences of what real, faithful, kingdom-living may lead to in our lives and in this world.Because doing that well – living faithfully, I mean – is hard work. When you stand up for justice for the “least of these,” that often means challenging the systems that protect the powerful. When you speak truth to power, power doesn't always like what you have to say. When you speak the truth, even in love, the response is often denial and fear and hatred of that very truth and of those who proclaim it.And that kind of faithful living gets people like Martin Luther excommunicated. It gets people like Nelson Mandela thrown into jail, people like Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Martin Luther King, Jr., Renee Good, and Alex Pretti, killed. It gets women in some denominations thrown out of the pulpit. And, of course, all of it got Jesus, himself, crucified, too.And those are some tough shoes to fill. I wonder how many of us have had the opportunity or would have the courage and the faith to live out our faith like some of these giants. So we do our denying on a smaller scale, don't we? When we drive by the hungry person on the street corner… When we let the racist comment slide… When we laugh with the bullies or at the queer kids and the sexist jokes on the White House lawn... When we add our two cents to the gossip mill... When we vote with our self-interests, first.So what are we to do with Jesus' promise – or threat – when he says, “Everyone who acknowledges me before others, I also will acknowledge before my Father in heaven. And everyone who denies me before others, I will also deny before my father in heaven”?What I hear him saying isn't so much that those who deny Christ or fail at this call to faithful discipleship are doomed or damned for all eternity. It's not that if we don't live up to the high bar of King or Mandela or Bonhoeffer, we're out of luck. Remember, he also promises that we hold more value than many sparrows, who, even though they fall, are never beyond the reach of God's care.What I hear Jesus acknowledging is that God – the Father of all creation – knows, like so many good parents know, what it feels like to have his children deny or be embarrassed by their likeness to their Creator: to drop his hand at the grocery store, you might say; or rush by with friends to avoid any awkward conversations; or to shrink down in the seat and hurry from the car hoping no one notices who's in the driver's seat.What I hear Jesus saying to his disciples and to each of us, is that it's time to grow up. He's inviting us to embrace the claim of God, the Father, on our lives and to start living in the joy, responsibility, and challenge of that holy calling.Just like it's hard to pinpoint exactly when children begin distancing themselves from their annoying, embarrassing parents, it's difficult to pinpoint a precise moment when they begin to turn around and to start re-building those more mature bridges of relationship, connection, respect, and admiration, too.But, believe it or not, kids, it happens! There comes a time when the comparisons and resemblances to our parents seem pretty small in the grand scheme of things – and even beautiful and holy and remarkable, the more mature we get, if we're lucky. I got a glimpse of it with Jackson last week in that antique store. And I hope my mom and dad have noticed it over the years, too.And I hear Jesus calling our attention to that same reality when it comes to our relationship with God. He's inviting us to embrace our call to discipleship, to look and act more and more like our maker – all the things an immature faith might fear and resist – because following Jesus puts everything into a different perspective.It's an invitation and a holy challenge, because Jesus knows that when we do it – when we let the call to discipleship change the way we live, what once seemed like work (stuff like generosity, gratitude and grace) will become a way of life. What once seemed beyond us (stuff like sacrifice, selflessness, and suffering, even) actually bears fruit for us and for others. What once seemed unbelievable (stuff like healing, wholeness, and real joy) will become Truth, with a capital T, for our lives. And what once seemed impossible (forgiveness, freedom and eternal life) will belong to us all.Amen

There's a new channeled work coming soon from The George Collective, and in this episode of Mindful Mystics, we crack open the cosmic notebook to talk through some of the biggest revelations inside it. We start with duality — why life seems to unfold through contrast, perception, and creation — and then quickly tumble down the metaphysical rabbit hole. Timelines, time travel, the Mandela Effect, psychic abilities, aliens, ghosts, and the afterlife all make their way into the conversation. Along the way, we ask whether reality is a lot more flexible than it looks and whether consciousness is constantly shifting, creating, and lining up with possibilities we're only beginning to understand. Brought to you by Paranormal Underground Radio Episode Date: 6.21.2026 Hosts: Karen Frazier, Chuckie G, and Cheryl Knight-Wilson Check out our hosts online at: Paranormal Underground magazine: https://paranormalunderground.net/ Author and psychic medium Karen Frazier: https://www.authorkarenfrazier.com/#/ and https://www.soulunasanctuary.com/ Paranormal Investigator and psychic medium Chuckie G: https://itsmechuckieg.com/ Show Highlights: [00:41] A New Book From the George Collective Karen introduces a new channeled work from The George Collective, explaining that after several years away from channeling, she was guided to begin again. The new book includes five channelings, along with question-and-answer sessions covering some big topics. [03:36] Duality, Source Energy, and the Human Experience Cheryl opens the discussion by asking about duality, a concept she says she often has to revisit to fully grasp. Karen explains duality as the experience of source energy refracted into spectrums such as good and bad, hot and cold, life and death, and here and there. [08:13] Why We Need Contrast to Create Cheryl asks why humans can't simply live without duality. Karen describes duality as the space where source energy creates through contrast, giving human beings the opportunity to experience themselves as creators rather than existing only within one unified frequency of love. [09:48] Psychic Ability, Channeling, and Tuning In Chuck reflects on duality through the lens of skepticism versus belief and intuition versus logic. As he talks about sharing messages with others, Karen points out that he may already be channeling, even if he uses different words to describe it. [12:08] How Anyone Can Align With Channeling Karen explains that channeling is not limited to a chosen few. From her understanding of The George Collective's message, the broadcast is always there, and people can align with it through intention, openness, and their own personal filters. [13:43] Why Some People Seem More Intuitive Chuck asks why some people seem more tuned in psychically than others. Karen shares that anyone can choose to align with this stream, but some people may have built that ability into their life path or activated it through major life experiences. [16:51] Aliens, Angels, and Created Realities Chuck brings up the book's discussion of aliens and asks whether they may be similar to angels, deities, or other beings people connect with. Karen explains that, from The George Collective's perspective, humans are creative beings, and anything conceived of may exist somewhere in duality, though not necessarily in the way people expect. [18:41] Timelines, Possibilities, and Shifting Awareness Cheryl steers the conversation toward timelines and asks whether jumping timelines is less about going somewhere else and more about shifting into alignment with another vibration. Karen uses a video game analogy to explain how every choice and possibility may already exist. [22:10] When Reality Suddenly Feels Different Cheryl describes the feeling of suddenly wondering whether she is still in the same reality because something has changed so dramatically. Karen suggests that this could reflect a shift into another version of reality, with some residue or awareness from the previous one still lingering. [24:14] Mandela Effect, Déjà Vu, and Time Slips Chuck asks whether timeline shifts could explain the Mandela Effect or déjà vu. Karen says she thinks so and shares a recent experience in which seeing a crumpled school worksheet suddenly placed her, almost viscerally, back into her grade-school self. [26:22] Memory, Mandela Effects, and Glitches in Reality Cheryl shares a personal example involving a restaurant she vividly remembered being in a different location. Karen explains that memory can be unreliable because the brain reconstructs it from pieces, but she also leaves room for the possibility that some experiences may be connected to the Mandela effect. [29:00] Death, Afterlife, and Other Versions of Ourselves Chuck reflects on whether people who have died may still exist in another timeline. Karen expands the question further, wondering whether communication with someone who has passed could involve an afterlife version, another timeline version, or something even more complex. [31:40] Ghosts, Cryptids, and the Paranormal as Part of Duality Cheryl notes that saying humans help create these experiences does not mean ghosts, aliens, cryptids, or the afterlife are not real. Chuck adds that paranormal investigations often involve a mix of residual hauntings, intelligent activity, natural explanations, and people's perceptions. [32:45] The Bigger Message Behind the Channelings Karen explains that beyond the Q&A topics, the core message of the new channelings centers on who we really are, where we have been, where we are going, and how to get there. She describes the material as meaningful, powerful, and potentially helpful for living in a better way. [33:34] Where to Find The George Collective's Work Karen shares that the new book will be available soon and points listeners to the original 2020 George Channelings at SoulunaSanctuary.com. She says the earlier ebook is free and can help readers understand the foundation before the new channelings are released.

In Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom (Routledge, 2026) Steven Segal explores Nelson Mandela's extraordinary ability to lead through moments of existential crisis and uncertainty. Central to Mandela's leadership was his attunement to mood—the emotional and existential atmosphere through which people experience disruption. Long overlooked in leadership studies, mood shaped the way Mandela created trust, defused fear, and opened possibilities when conventional strategies failed. Mandela's wisdom was forged not only in prison but in the existential challenges he faced upon leaving the familiarity of his ancestral homeland and confronting the disorientation of city life. From this early rupture through to his imprisonment, the collapse of apartheid, and the assassination of Chris Hani, he demonstrated a rare capacity to transform existential threats into opportunities for renewal and unity. This book examines how Mandela combined strategic foresight with therapeutic sensitivity, allowing him to guide individuals and nations through disruption with ethical resolve and visionary clarity. Drawing on frameworks from Heidegger and Ubuntu it highlights Mandela's "existential practical wisdom"—the ability to embrace uncertainty, work with paradox, and foster collective transformation through attuned presence. By investigating Mandela's profound relational sensitivity, including his ability to turn estrangement and enmity into trust and collaboration, the book offers timeless lessons for navigating today's global crises. It is ideal for professionals seeking inspiration for leading in turbulent times and for students interested in leadership, philosophy, or history. Steven Segal was formerly an Associate Professor of Management at Macquarie University, Australia and is currently in private practice as a psychologist and leadership coach. He also runs professional development workshops for coaches and psychotherapists. Elena Sobrino is an anthropologist studying environmental emotions and politics.

In Mandela's Leadership Legacy: Emotional and Existential Wisdom (Routledge, 2026) Steven Segal explores Nelson Mandela's extraordinary ability to lead through moments of existential crisis and uncertainty. Central to Mandela's leadership was his attunement to mood—the emotional and existential atmosphere through which people experience disruption. Long overlooked in leadership studies, mood shaped the way Mandela created trust, defused fear, and opened possibilities when conventional strategies failed. Mandela's wisdom was forged not only in prison but in the existential challenges he faced upon leaving the familiarity of his ancestral homeland and confronting the disorientation of city life.

  Welcome back to the  Dr. Mary Travelbest Guide podcast. I returned from another 90-day journey around the world, and I'm excited to connect with fellow solo travelers, share experiences, and help build world peace, one person at a time. The FAQ is: Do you feel isolated as an American traveling now?  I've been solo traveling quite a bit over the past year, and I've noticed a trend. There have been multiple times when people in a group have discussed where they're from and asked questions about each other's countries. And then it gets to me, and I say the US, and it goes silent until the conversation moves on to someone else. It happens in hostels and bars. In fact, I've had multiple times where I say I'm American and the person will just instantly walk away. I know my country has done awful things that have earned this reputation. It's just disappointing that it creates a slightly isolating feeling at first. Luckily, I've had experiences where people have been really friendly, and I hope to have more of those. Has anyone else had similar experiences? I want to make it clear to those from the United States that they should not let this discourage them. The majority of my interactions don't go this way. I'm posting because I've had repeated, small incidents in several countries and want to see if others have noticed a pattern. Even when they happen, they've never felt more than just passive-aggressive.   60-second confidence challenge Your challenge today, the Confidence Challenge in Johannesburg, is safety.    If you like today's Confidence Challenge, my book series delves deeper into how to feel safe when you travel alone. I also discuss my safari in Kenya, part of East Africa. You may want to book a safari in South Africa and read the book as you move through the 5 steps to solo travel, from easy to more challenging, with tips on foreign-language communication. You can find the series at the link in the description.    See Book A for addressing this concern.  Find it on the website​​ at https://www.5stepstosolotravel.com/ or on Amazon. It's a several-part series. Today's destination is Johannesburg, South Africa. Today, we're talking about Johannesburg, or "Joburg," a place that may not feel easy at first—but that's exactly why it matters. We will cover the Apartheid Museum, Soweto, Mandela, soccer, Maboneng, Rosebank, and Sandton. We'll also tell you about a good tour guide and how to get informed. Let's be clear: this is not a relaxed, wander-anywhere kind of destination. But if you approach it thoughtfully, it becomes one of the most eye-opening cultural experiences you can have. So let's walk through what's worth your time and what requires your attention. Johannesburg is not built for tourists—it's built from history. Gold mining in the 1800s created the city. Apartheid shaped it. And today, you feel both, everywhere. You'll notice: Stark contrasts between wealth and poverty Gated neighborhoods, security systems, and guarded homes Areas where the infrastructure feels inconsistent And if you're willing to see it clearly, this city teaches you something few others can. The Apartheid Museum If you are on a solo or group tour, start here. Not optional. The Apartheid Museum is one of the most powerful museums in the world. You don't just read history—you walk through it. Give yourself at least 2–3 hours. And be ready—it's emotionally heavy. Soweto + Mandela's Legacy   Next, visit Soweto—short for "South Western Township." Soweto is where history becomes personal. Before your trip, if you can, read Mandela's book, The Long Walk to Freedom. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2304771/   Walk down Vilakazi Street—home to both Nobel Peace Prize winners from the area. Nelson Mandela Desmond Tutu Visit the Nelson Mandela House, now a museum. You'll see: Local life Street vendors Music, dancing, and community But go with a guide. Not optional. There were small fires in the neighborhoods along the roadside, and some traffic lights were not working. Be aware, but be ready to learn.   Want to see a Soccer game while here? There are two teams you can watch at home games.   Johannesburg-based Soweto giants Orlando Pirates play home games at  Orlando Stadium, which the City of Johannesburg owns. While Carling Black Label has recently partnered with Kaizer Chiefs as a sponsor, the teams' major sponsors historically have included Vodacom and others.   https://www.espn.com/espn/story/_/id/43608195/what-soweto-derby-why-kaizer-chiefs-orlando-pirates-south-africa-most-popular-teams   Head to Maboneng, Johannesburg's creative district. Think: Street art Local designers Live music Markets like The Playground It's one of the few places where you can walk more freely—but still stay aware. Grab a meal, enjoy the vibe, but don't linger alone after dark.   Now, let's visit Rosebank + Sandton (Modern Johannesburg)   If you're wondering where things feel familiar—this is it. In Rosebank: Visit the arts and crafts market Browse local goods safely In Sandton: Upscale shopping Restaurants Hotels like Marriott Global brands like Apple and Nike It's polished—but don't confuse that with the whole city. A few dining places to consider: Pata Pata in Maboneng Salvation Café https://www.salvationcafe.co.za/ Looking for a travel guide in Johannesburg? Here's a suggestion. Beck N Coll. Benoni is Colleen Becker's hometown, just outside of Johannesburg. Her grown Son is Calvin. She's married to Glenn. "Beck n Coll "is their travel company name.  Through other means,nsuch aske Servas and Host a Sister, they have had 70-plus guests so far. Help them by booking your trip with them. Here is the website for more info. This episode is not a sponsored post. They can book you on a safari tour as they are experts here.   https://www.beckncoll.co.za/ https://www.instagram.com/hostasister/ Here is more on Host A Sister. It's  a global Facebook community connecting women worldwide to share homes for free, fostering friendship, cultural exchange, and safe, budget-friendly travel. Members (women and non-binary individuals) offer accommodation, local meetups, and travel advice without monetary exchange, ensuring it remains a non-dating platform, and I used it here. I met Colleen through Servas, and she told me about Host a Sister, which I used later in my 90-day trip. Let's summarize and add value with my reality check: Not every place will feel intuitive or walkable—plan your stops. You'll hear "be careful," and you should question what that actually means. Here's the reality: Do not travel alone at night Use Uber or arrange drivers Stay in known areas (Sandton, Rosebank) Avoid spontaneous wandering Keep your phone out of sight in public But also, don't assume constant danger. Many travelers report no issues when they stay aware and structured, like me. This guidance is not fear-based travel. It's informed travel. Johannesburg is not about comfort. It's about understanding. You will see: Inequality Resilience Creativity   My missteps: Wrong Airport in Johannesburg   Travel Mistake to Avoid    I should have booked Johannesburg's other airport from Cape Town. I didn't realize there were two airports, and I picked the cheaper one. I ended up on the wrong side of town and had to Uber from the airport to the train station. Then I got on the train and got to my destination.   So, in the end, I did not save any money.   Check the airport before you book Safari Air!   Thanks for listening, and I'll see you on the next journey.

We're used to hostile online encounters with total strangers. It fuels the digital economy. But what if there were a way to experiment with radical emotional honesty with an anonymous other—much the same as you'd experience at an Alcoholics Anonymous meeting? The anonymous founder of This Life, an audio-only app built on anonymity, joins For the Life of the World to argue that emotional and spiritual progress is still possible at scale. "What's really kind is to care about somebody else. And then even more kind than that is to allow somebody else to care about you." In this episode with Evan Rosa, Justin Smith (a pseudonym) reflects on what he learned in Alcoholics Anonymous, the genius of Bill Wilson, and why our voices carry so much emotional weight, and how sharing them—even (and perhaps especially) anonymously—can be a transformative experience of growth. Together they discuss anonymity as a path to honesty, the "spiritual hitchhiker," negative emotion as a force that wants to win, design as destiny, and becoming a neighbor. They also weigh technology's limits and whether spiritual and emotional progress can scale. Episode Highlights "What's really kind is to care about somebody else. And then even more kind than that is to allow somebody else to care about you." "I believe we live in a society that has given up on the idea of emotional or spiritual progress at scale." "Honesty with yourself is a skill." "If you begin to look at unhelpful negative emotion as a force that wants to win, what you'll notice is that we're in a fight that we're not well equipped for." "Meaningful spiritual development is impossible without honesty with other people." About Justin Smith "Justin Smith" is a pseudonym. The guest is the founder of This Life, an audio-only iOS app he describes as an experiment in emotional and spiritual progress, built around anonymity, self-reflection, and what he calls the "spiritual hitchhiker." A Christian shaped by his time in Alcoholics Anonymous and the writing of AA co-founder Bill Wilson, he draws on figures from Martin Luther King Jr. to E.O. Wilson and Fred Rogers to argue that honesty with others is the foundation of spiritual growth. By his request, and in keeping with the episode's premise, his real name, biography, and social accounts are withheld. Learn more about the This Life app on the iOS App Store.

McKay explores Dolly Parton's philosophy of ‘finding the God-light in everyone' as a transformative leadership discipline. He argues that choosing to see potential rather than faults is a practical way to inspire growth and redirect lives.Our host highlights how belief in others alters history through the stories of Louis Armstrong, Walt Disney, and Abraham Lincoln. Detailing Nelson Mandela's healing of South Africa and John Wooden's UCLA coaching, McKay demonstrates that by applying the Pygmalion effect and defending the absent, listeners can foster trust and move beyond automatic negative thinking.Main Themes: Dolly Parton's "God light" philosophy The Pygmalion Effect on performance Lincoln's "Team of Rivals" strategy Louis Armstrong's reform school start Walt Disney and the power of affirmation Defending the absent to build character Mandela's use of rugby to unite a nation Overcoming self-centered "default settings" John Wooden's shame-free coaching Belief as a practical leadership strategyTop 10 Quotes:"I try to find the God-light in everybody.""If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.""Human nature tends to notice faults first.""When people are seen as capable, they often become more capable.""If you humiliate people, they resist; if you honor people, they change.""When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.""Seeing the good in others is a discipline, not a feeling.""Remembering everyone is good makes a meaningful life possible.""Correct what can be improved, not what is wrong with you.""Seeing good in someone can redirect an entire life."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen
