Welcome to or welcome back to the Retreat Leaders Podcast at Shannon. I am super stoked about my guest today. Before we started recording, I told our guest that I don't have enough of them on my show or enough of them. You know that I see in the retreat space. So welcome Brent to the show. I'm so excited you're here. Brent 00:00:44 Thank you. Shannon, it's my pleasure to be here. I appreciate the time. Shannon 00:00:48 Yes. So Brent is a retreat host. And what I meant by there's not enough of them, or at least I don't see enough of them. And so maybe it's just not on my radar as much as it should be, is that there's not enough men hosting men retreats, in my opinion, and Brent hosts men retreats that look absolutely fantastic. Shannon 00:01:06 But I don't want to take away too much of your thunder, Brent. So why don't you just tell us all about who you are, what you do, and what brought you to where you are now? Brent 00:01:13 Absolutely. Thank you. So, I'm a previous corporate, employee. I was a, you know, a mid senior level HR leader for about ten years working in corporate America. Before that, I was in the car wash industry working as an operations leader. So for for like 15, 20 years, I was working for the man. And I got to the point where, last year, well, about two years ago, I went to an event out in Austin and I was really moved by it. And in that moment, sitting with 100 people, I looked to my friend and I said to him, I said, listen, man, I'm going to do this someday. I want to do this kind of thing. And I didn't know how it was going to happen. I didn't know what to expect. Brent 00:01:53 But, what ended up working out was that, you know, last year, you know, I made a pretty good deal on a real estate thing that I was doing on the side. And about Q3, Q4 of last year, I had this epiphany that like, if I wanted to, I could probably take a year, year and a half off and see if I could grow this, this retreat business into something. Shannon 00:02:15 And yes. Brent 00:02:16 Yeah. So it was really, it was exciting and nerve wracking at the same time. Right? You know, it's like, I have no idea what I don't know. yep. But I trust. Right? You know, I trusted and, I actually did a, I went to this breathwork, certification thing, and I came back from that in December of last year, and I was all of a sudden I was in a meditation after doing a breathwork. And it was like I felt like, you know, the universe just zapped into my head and was like, you should do a men's retreat. Brent 00:02:47 And I'm like, okay. Speaker 3 00:02:51 I didn't think about that. But, you know, I was like, all right. Like, let's, let's look at this. Brent 00:02:55 And, and but I didn't know where, you know, like I had coordinated things in corporate HR. Before, you know, corporate retreat type things, but not in this space. And I felt this, this urge to go to Sedona. And I had never been to Sedona before. I knew nothing about it. Literally had no idea where it even was. But I was like, okay, that's cool. Like, let's go. and, you know, six months later, you know, I had my first retreat. So, you know, it's been a journey. You know, it's, it's a it's a gift. It's really what it comes down to. So, you know, I don't wanna get too long winded on it, but I. Shannon 00:03:28 Know that this is great. Okay, so there's so many things that happened just in this first snippet. Shannon 00:03:34 the first thing is, is, like, you definitely received your download because for you to have a download that says, go to Sedona and you've never even been there or didn't even know where it is. that's definitely a download. It's not usually what I would recommend unless it's a download. Right. Because, you know, we we typically want to host at least our first retreat. and I'm even a fan of saying all retreats in places we've been to at least one time. However, there are definitely situations like this where something is speaking to you and you've just got to follow it. And I love this so much. Let's talk about the fact. Steve, here's the thing, guys. What we're going to talk about today is Brent's recap of his first retreat, and then now how he's going to learn from that retreat and go forward. Because I think a lot of people, Brent, they think my first retreat, I'm going to make $1 million and it's going to be knocked out of the park. Shannon 00:04:26 And I also think there are a lot of people out there making it sound like you can do that, like you can just all of a sudden be an instant success. But the truth is that there's no such thing in any industry. I don't care what it is. If corporate, small business, large business, it doesn't matter what it is. You're typically not an instant success unless you consider the learning, the success, which I do. Right? Because that's what those first few retreats are. At least the first 1 to 3 are learning experiences and their investments for future ones. So I would love, Brent, for you to tell us what happened on your first retreat and what was the biggest downloads and learnings you got from it? Brent 00:05:04 Yeah, yeah. Absolutely, absolutely. I mean, the the goal here was just to break even. You know, I, I, you know, I remember listening to episodes that you had shared and even in your book where it says like don't go too far away. Brent 00:05:16 And I'm like, oh my God. Like I live in Western New York. I'm going to this, this place I've never even been to. Right. So, you know, like, I booked a flight and I got out there two weeks later and I scoped it out, and and things just really aligned very well. but really, you know, what I learned from this was in the retreats, probably. And as with anything new, who you're coming up against is not the people that I was advertising to or, you know, my family. I was coming up against myself. You know. Shannon 00:05:47 This? Yes. Brent 00:05:49 Vulnerable space to be in, financially vulnerable, energetically vulnerable. And, you know, and to know that, like, not everybody catches the, you know, picks up what you're throwing down there. Right? Like, people are like, what the hell are you talking about? You're doing this, you know? So, yeah, I really I invested in a program. that was okay. Brent 00:06:11 Like, I spent a lot of money on it, but it was. It had a pretty good return for me, at least, to get me familiar, because I didn't have, like, an Instagram following. I didn't have a LinkedIn following. I, I'm not on Facebook that often. So how do you do this? Right? and that was part of facing off with myself is like overcoming this limit, these limiting beliefs that I need those things in order for that to happen. And, I'll be honest with you, I was going to I was going to throw it out, like I that got to be I had one person sign up. It was the end of March. the, the, the agreements that I signed were coming into the point were like, okay, you're you're within 90 days, you're within 45 days. You need to, you know, make sure you get a deposit. You're on the hook for this. And, I just didn't see it happening and I just totally I gave up, and I was going to take the website down. Brent 00:07:03 And I remember thinking, you know, I've got it. I'm going to take the website down, on like Thursday or no, it was like a week before. And then all a sudden I'm like, I'll just wait. I'll wait a little bit. I'm going to have this meeting with a friend and then we'll see what happens. Well, before this meeting with my friend, I'm making breakfast one morning and I get this text alert and I'm like, what the hell is this from? And I look, and somebody had actually registered for the event like a straight cold registration. And all of a sudden I had this moment and it's like, wait a minute, maybe that vision from a couple months ago is true. Maybe this like, maybe there is something out there that's matching what people need or what men need, and maybe I should try a different route. And so it brought up this sense of inspiration. and then I signed up, 4 or 5 other people within two weeks. Shannon 00:07:49 Like it just. Shannon 00:07:50 Wow. Brent 00:07:51 Yeah. Yeah, it was really powerful. so, you know, from that lens, like, I learned, like, if I try to force it, it's going to be way more difficult than if I just, you know, take the right action and allow it to kind of manifest or create itself and create the outcomes. Yes. And then also, you know, even just from the the overall experience, like I had a whole budget thing written out, I, I'm a numbers guy. So I was looking at a lot of that, and, and trusting the process that, you know, like I, I knew my numbers well enough so I could speak to things confidently. I knew it was going to be within like $500 plus or minus, so I was okay with that. and then and then really the, the self-efficacy of realizing, right, like in the midst of the retreat, realizing I'm doing it like, wow, this is really happening, right? Seeing other people's lives start to change in a matter of four days. Brent 00:08:44 And then afterwards, that feeling of, you know what? I can do this. And now after the response that I got from them, I'm like, I think I should do this more. And so that's what led me to to building into this second retreat now. Shannon 00:08:58 Okay, Brent. First of all, congratulations. You've done your first retreat and in my opinion, it was a huge success. Also, I want to harp on a little bit or not harp on. That's not the right word, but I want to just celebrate. I guess, again, this mindset shift that you had, because that's really what sounds like happened when you got that second, that second booking. I'm a big fan, I tell. I like to tell people who are who are new in the business that if you got one booking and it's an aligned booking, right, it's you got one aligned booking, then there's others out there. You're just either not speaking the right language, taking the right action, etc. and so forth. Shannon 00:09:37 I also like to say, now if you've got none, then we need to revisit what what your words are and who you're talking to and all the other stuff. But if you get one, at least aligned one. The other thing is you said something really powerful. My opinion is you can manifest and attract and allow all you want, but if it doesn't have action assigned with it, then it's just daydreaming to me. And daydreaming is fine, but it won't equate to what you just said happened in your mindset shift. So another congratulations, because that's really cool. So yay. First retreat. Nailed it. Nailed the mindset shift. Now coming out of that, and also, I am so glad that you got to see some of the transformation for other people through the space that you're holding, because that's what you're going to hold on to, Brent, as you continue to grow your business, because now you're going to based upon our conversation before we start recording, you're going to build this into a profitable machine. Shannon 00:10:37 And in order to do that, you're going to run into more obstacles. The mindset is going to get a little Willy Wonka. And we'll talk about that and and your plans. But but you're just you will naturally. That's what happens when we are on the precipice of growing big. But you're going to hold on to that whole like, I saw what this does. I know the value of what this is like. I'm just I'm a big believer that we can have impact and income. They don't have to be exclusive. And so anyway, so share with me now like what are we doing to make sure that it's profitable. What are some changes or what are some things that you're doing. Brent 00:11:15 100%. You know, like I there were things that we did in like Sedona, an inexpensive place to be. Like, I didn't know that. I know that now, you know, and there's there's times a year to be there and times of year that you don't want to be there. And, you know, so what I really took away from this, like I kind of did like what I call like an after action report. Brent 00:11:33 Right. So when I was in the military, after every mission, you look back and you say, okay, what was it that we did? What did we do? Well, what could we do differently? Right. So after doing this, what I really looked at was like some things were they didn't really have the impact, you know, like. so for example like we went on like this Jeep tour, like it was nice, it was fun. But like the guys weren't raving about it, it was just more of like nice to have now the zipline tour. Everybody loved it. Even those that were afraid of it and overcame themselves there. They loved it. So, you know, when I look at that, you know, I think about like, okay, because part of my modus operandi is every day we're going to do something off site. So like we go to hotels, I like to stay in nicer places. so we're going to stay at, like, a nice hotel. Brent 00:12:17 We're going to go out, we're going to do something off site. We're going to come back during the day. We're going to train, you know, have teachings, all that kind of thing. And then we're going to go out for nice dinners at the same time. And what I realized was like, as I, as I build into Austin, like, I don't need to, like we're going to do ziplines. Like for sure. Right. Like that's going to be awesome. But like I looked at like, oh, maybe we could do horseback riding and we could do this and we could do that. And I'm like, but does it need to happen? Right? So like when I look at it and I realize something's going to cost $2,000, but is it really going to align with what I'm teaching? Is it going to make an impact and help drive home what we're learning? Right? Or is it, you know, kind of like how, you know, you talk about like, yeah, people want to know like the activities, but they're looking for the feeling. Brent 00:13:02 They're looking for the transformation more than anything else. Right? So now as I look at it, what I'm looking for now is, is what what what are the critical few that are going to really land, right. And you know, for me ziplines that that's something that lands because even if you love them, you're still going to get a rush of adrenaline. There's still going to be some type of emotional response in our body. and you know just I like to have something a little bit. That's, that's specific to the area too. Right. So like when we go out to dinner we're not going to like KFC. We're not going to McDonald's. We're going to go to nice places that are in the area. and, and you know, one I want I want the guys to feel good. Right. So yeah, as I look at that now and then I look at how I'm pricing it, like I knew I was underpriced. I didn't know how much until I was actually on the retreat. Brent 00:13:52 And I remember, like, we rented like this big SUV and we're driving to this, I don't even know what we were doing, but I remember driving with all the guys in the truck, and and I'm like, this is like a $5,000 retreat. Like, they're like, I would pay. Not because I'm biased, but like, I would pay $5,000 for this. And I was charging, like 335. Yeah. So yeah, as I look at this now, now I've created, you know, the packages that range between 3500 to 5000. and then I'm adding the value. Right. Like, it's it's all dependent on what value you want out of it. And then also with what I've reduced from, from an expense standpoint. Now that margin went from really, like, maybe 1% to now I'm targeting more like 20 to 30% margin. And that. Shannon 00:14:38 Gives me, yeah. Brent 00:14:39 Bigger wiggle room and confidence to step into it because I know what it's worth. Shannon 00:14:44 Hey, retreat leaders, pause that retreat planning for just a second because I've got something you do not want to miss. Shannon 00:14:49 I'm headed to London this October to host a live event that's all about teaching you how to host a retreat that's not just transformational, but actually profitable. Imagine sipping tea or champagne with other like minded leaders while mapping out your next sold out retreat. It's happening at the gorgeous Waldorf Hilton in London. I'm spilling all the secrets from pricing to planning, marketing to mindset, and you'll walk away with a strategy you can actually use. No fluff, no BS, just results. So head to Retreat Mastermind training and come join me across the pond. Yes, yes, I noticed this. So Brent and I were talking before we started recording about. it's just my philosophy. Not all hosts are like this, but I'm not a discount person. I'm just. I absolutely am anti discount. And I love though, Brent. How you. I mean, I really loved how you built the value into each offering. So it's kind of like okay here's your first soft touch point you which includes this. And it's you know, 3500 or whatever it was. Shannon 00:15:54 This touch point includes these extra things, and it's 45, you know what I mean? Like, I just I absolutely love that I think that you are positioning yourself in such a way that it is going to be beautifully aligned for the guest to get what they want out of it, and then you to feel energetically aligned in a financial way for what you're offering. Right? Yeah, yes. Because the ones that are paying more, they're getting more from you. and so it's it's a really beautiful exchange. So it sounds like you're totally aligned. Tell me the difference about planning for Sedona, which, by the way, I'm really glad to hear that you at least went and visited the spot before you hosted there. Brent 00:16:33 So yeah. Shannon 00:16:33 Yeah, that really helps. And anybody who's listening, if you're planning a retreat and you've never been there, you've I'm telling you, you've got to make a site visit. It just makes all the difference in the world. and it just really does. But tell me the difference is in planning. Shannon 00:16:47 Now, your second retreat with a different location. like, what are some things that have come up for you in this process? Brent 00:16:54 Yeah, absolutely. I mean, what's nice now is I kind of know the recipe, right? Like, I kept everything the same. Like I'm looking like on my monitor to my right. Has everything written out different? Tabs on the worksheet. I know exactly what I'm looking at. And I've built this. I mean, you don't get to where. Not that I was, like, super high up, but like, you don't achieve success in air in corporate unless you know how to be a business partner, which means working with operations leaders, figuring out how to, you know, make money with the people. You have those kind of things. So when I looked at this and I'm like, okay, well, then I know what I need. I mean, I've done this with entrepreneurs, I've done this with fortune 500 companies. I need to do this for myself and in some ways kind of put myself in check, too, like if I'm dreaming, like I had a conversation with someone and they're like, oh, we're going to do this, and then we're going to have affiliate marketing and this and that. Brent 00:17:43 And I'm like, hang on a second. Like, let's get let's get up on our two feet first before we start thinking about this. You know, I love the energy, but let's just, you know, little reality check. so, you know, when I look at this now, I've got this the recipe. At the same time, I've been to Austin like 3 or 4 times in the last year, year and a half. So like, I'm familiar with where I want to go, I know that I don't want to take everybody out on sixth Street. If I want them to stay sober and have a really good, you know, experience besides having like a party until way late and feeling hungover. Right? So, yes, you know, so I know the spots where I want to go, you know, I know I knew the type of hotel we wanted to stay at. And so this time, it's a lot easier because I've been there, you know, and now and as I build into next year, I'm going to have several other retreats. Brent 00:18:31 And in some of these areas I've not been. So I look at it as it's an investment now I need to get out there. I need to to move and shake. I need to talk to people. You know, I've got three trips this summer to go to different places because I so firmly believe that that there's an energetic calling for this type of work, that it's just a matter of like where and when and how. So that how has become a lot easier now that I've gone through the one. Shannon 00:18:58 How, yes, yes to all of that. Well, We'll tell our listeners. Who is your ideal guest? And then tell us about your upcoming retreat. Brent 00:19:06 Absolutely. Thank you. So the ideal guest is obviously a man. it could be anywhere. you know, typically what I've seen, you know, in this last retreat was anywhere from their, their early 40s to their mid 60s, you know. for me, it doesn't really matter if the the key of what I look for is, are you at a crossroads in your life? Do you know that you want something different? Do you know what that is? And maybe it's just that you're not sure of how to get there. Brent 00:19:32 And if that's the case, then you're my ideal client. Because what I look at is, you know, I have a balance. I, I don't get super woo woo because especially as men, we don't typically want to get into that woo woo space. And you know, and I should also add that my ideal client is somebody who really hasn't been in this space before, that they haven't been to a retreat before. If they have been, maybe it's in a corporate background. So now what I'm doing is I'm giving them some of the neuroscience behind And change some of the things that have been found over the last ten, 15 years as it relates to meditation and breathwork, and then also tying that into a little bit of the woo woo just to get, you know, dab their dab their toes in it a little bit, but not shock the nervous system to. Shannon 00:20:15 Love. Brent 00:20:16 It. I don't want them walking out going like I'm never doing this again. You know I want. Shannon 00:20:20 I love it. Brent 00:20:21 You'll walk around, you know, walk out saying like, you know what? It was the the best balance of of opportunity. I learned some things. I tried some new things. And as a result, this is what's happened for me. Shannon 00:20:31 I love it. Awesome. So when is your next retreat? We know it's in Austin. When is that happening? Brent 00:20:37 Yeah, it's October 23rd through 26th of this year. and yeah, we're going to kick off. We're going to stay at this beautiful hotel just in the hill country, about 20 minutes south of Austin. and then we're going to kick off, like I said, ziplining all the fun stuff there. But more importantly than anything, we're going to have a strong sense of community. We're going to have anywhere from 8 to 12 guys that are going to get together, you know, from all over the country and they're here to. To better themselves. They're here to get through whatever's been blocking them. And that, to me is the most important part, is that transformation truly happens when you get people that are looking for it and are hungry enough to to sit at the table and see what happens. Brent 00:21:18 So I'm very excited for it. I think it's going to be incredible. Shannon 00:21:21 Well, hell yes Brent, all of that information will be linked in the show notes, so please check it out and share it with someone who you think might really benefit from this, because I can tell from the website, from your history, and from your energy that this is going to be an incredible retreat. So thank you so much, Brent, for sharing your history, your lessons, and your upcoming offerings. It is so appreciated. Brent 00:21:43 Thank you Shan, I really appreciate the opportunity. Shannon 00:21:45 Thanks for listening to The Retreat Leader's podcast. Learn more at The Retreat. See you next time.

He's a father, a comedian, an author, and maybe the most wholesome Australian alive. Lauren Compton goes on a First Date with James Donald Forbes McCann — and things get real, fast. From hilarious stories to surprisingly deep moments, this “date” has it all: - James on being a father of three
149:1 Praise the LORD!- This begins with an imperative that calls to praise God. Sing to the LORD a new song- Ps. 33:3; 40:3; 96:1-22; 98:1-3; 144:9-10; Isa. 42:10; Rev. 5:9; 14:3. “A new song is a hymn of victory sung after God had made all things new by His defeat of the forces of evil” Longman, 475. The songs “refers to the beginning of a new era, a new epoch in history” NICOT, 1006. They sing recognizing their victories and successes are His work. Psalms 144 and 149 are linked by reference to the new song. “In a real sense, then, Psalm 149 completes the movement of transferring the Davidic theology to the whole people” McCann, 1274. And His praise in the congregation of the godly ones- Godly ones are mentioned in vs. 5, 9.“The phrase is equivalent to ‘congregation of the righteous' (1:5)” VanGemeren, 876. This phrase seems to be used interchangeably with Israel (vs. 2), sons of Zion (vs. 2), His people (vs. 4), afflicted ones (vs. 4), godly ones (vs. 5). “These various designations make a colorful mosaic of the salvific relationship between the LORD and His people…The former use of the assembly (qahal) as a denotation of Israel in the wilderness (cf. Num. 14:5; 20:4, 6) is narrowed to a specific group within Israel, also known as ‘the humble' (Ps. 9:12) or ‘the people of Zion'” VanGemeren, 876. 149:2 Let Israel be glad in his Maker- 95:6 “Then three verses follow which invite them (Let…Hb. Jussive or wish, vv. 2-3, 5 to perform His praise with joy” Broyles, 517.The LORD as Israel's Maker is stressed in Isa. 45:1; 51:11-12; 54:5; Ps. 95:6. “His Maker is plural in Hebrew, a plural of intensity or majesty” Miller, 452. Let the sons of Zion rejoice in their King- The phrase sons of Zion is used in Lam. 4:2; Joel 2:23. God is viewed as the people's King in Ps. 145:1. “Within 146-150 only 149:2 describes the Lord as King to whom (vs. 8) the kings submit. Thus, the psalm takes the metaphor of kingship seriously, including the extenstion of the kingdom by force of arms. But it is just a metaphor, just as Isa. 9:4, 5, 7 militarism is metaphorical of the extension of the kingdom of peace as in Acts 15:14-18. Amos' picture of Gentiles subservience to David is metaphorical of the spreading the gospel” Motyer, 583.The words be glad and rejoice are sometimes used together for the people's attitude toward God- Ps. 32:11. In contrast, the Babylonians use these words of their god- Hab. 1:15.“He deserves Israel's praise because He is their Maker and King” Longman, 475. “As their ‘Maker' He has elected, redeemed, and fashioned the descendants of Jacob (95:6; 100:3; Isa. 44:21; 51:13) into a coming characterized by holiness and royalty (cf. Ex. 19:5-6)” VanGemeren, 876. For more notes, please write me a private note on Facebook.

Did the little girl at the centre of the most heavily reported missing-persons case in modern history ever go “missing” to begin with?If Madeleine was never abducted, if she died on May 3rd, why was it reported as an abduction?Despite the absence of a trial, what we have now is a fairly precise version of events from the McCanns themselves, a by-product of their relentless PR. We also know the original lead investigator Goncalo Amaral's counter-narrative, which is now a legally defensible matter of public record.The questions that arise from these opposing narratives are dead simple: Which narrative is more credible? Which narrator is more credible? What was the motive behind all the publicity?Neither Madeleine nor her abductor ultimately benefited from the ongoing media barrage, so who did?True crime maestro, Nick van der Leek, plumbs quagmires of confusion and a thicket of thorny inconsistencies to probe what lies beneath the psychologies. What is the significance of "doctors" as suspects? Did it matter or mean anything that the McCanns and their cabal of friends in the Algarve were mostly doctors?Peeling away the gossamer threads, over the course of just four days [April 29th – May 2nd], van der Leek intuits that very little was routine: not the weather, not where meals were eaten, not where or when they slept and not what they did as a family. But what were their routines when it came to other, murkier things, like sleeping patterns, cell phones and sedatives? Drawing intangibles out of the darkness, van der Leek sews the vexing loose ends from several conflicting stories into a definite - if not definitive - end-result.https://amzn.to/4mLrreTBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
McCann talks about his big HR, the trade deadline, and if the Diamondbacks can make ap layoff push.
Psalm 148“The whole creation, animate and inanimate, is called upon to praise God” Miller, 450. “The poem expressed a grand cosmic vision” Alter, 509. “This hymn of praise consists almost entirely of imperative calls to praise” Broyles, 515. “'Praise the LORD' occurs twelve times in Psalm 148” NICOT, 1002. “The psalm is naturally divined into two parts by the poetic structure. First, the summons goes out to praise the Lord from the heavens (vs. 1) and then from the earth (vs. 7). Next, in each section certain persons and things which inhabit the heavens (vss. 1b-4) and the earth (vss. 7b-12) are addressed in the second person and exhorted to praise God. Finally, in each section a partial refrain is uttered in the third person in which reasons for praising God are stated (vss. 5-6, 13-14). The psalmist moves from conscious (vs. 2) to unconscious (vss. 3-4) praise and then from unconscious (vss. 7b-10) to conscious praise (vss. 11-12)” Miller, 450. “This psalm rather regards worship as virtually inherent in the world's structures” NICOT, 1004. “Psalm 148 displays the typical structure of a song of praise- invitation to praise followed by reasons for praise” McCann, 1271. 1. Hallelujah, praise Jehovah,From the heavens praise His name;Praise Jehovah in the highest,All His angels praise proclaim.All His hosts together praise Him,Sun, and moon, and stars on high;Praise Him, O ye heav'n of heavens,And ye floods above the sky.Refrain:Let them praises give Jehovah,For His name alone is high,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,Far above the earth and sky. 2. Let them praises give Jehovah,They were made at His command,Them forever He established;His decree shall ever stand.From the earth, oh, praise Jehovah,All ye floods, ye dragons all;Fire, and hail, and snow, and vapors,Stormy winds that hear His call.Refrain:Let them praises give Jehovah,For His name alone is high,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,Far above the earth and sky 3. All ye fruitful trees and cedars,All ye hills and mountains high,Creeping things, and beasts, and cattle,Birds that in the heavens fly.Kings of earth, and all ye people,Princes great, earth's judges all,Praise His name, young men and maidens,Aged men and children small.Refrain:Let them praises give Jehovah,For His name alone is high,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,And His glory is exalted,Far above the earth and skyJesus and Psalm 148“The intimate turn taken by the psalm at its close reminds the Christian of the progression from old song to new in Rev. 4:11; 5:9ff.” Laymen, 701. In Rev. 5:8-14 ever increasing numbers are praising the one on the throne and the Lamb. 148:2 The angels praise Him- Luke 2:13-14148:8 The stormy wind shows God's power and Jesus controlled the winds and waves- Matt. 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25.All nature proclaims the identity of Jesus- Luke 19:39-40.148:11-12 Kings, princes, judges bowed before Him- Matt. 2:1-12.148:14 Kidner, 488, regards raising up a horn as a Messianic prophecy- Luke 1:69.

Psalm 147 “The Greek and Latin textual traditions associate Psalm 147 with Haggai and Zechariah” McCann, 1267. “The five psalms that close Book Five move from the praise of an individual in Psalm 146, through the praise of a community of faith in Psalm 147, to the praise of all creation in concert with the community of faith in Psalms 148-150” NICOT, 999. “At times this psalm takes up the rhetorical questions of Isaiah 40, and at times the challenges of the Lord to Job, turning them into praise, and linking the wonder of creation with the glories of providence and grace” Kidner, 485. “The Septuagint treats this as two psalms, of which the second begins at verse 12. So its numbering of the Psalter, which has diverged from that of the Hebrew Bible (familiar to Protestants) from Psalm 10 onwards, comes into step again for the last three psalms, 148-150” Kidner, 485. Allen, 307-308, does a good job showing the unity of Psalm 147. Israel is used in vs. 2, 19. The verbal stems for praise in vs. 1 are picked up in vs. 7, 12. “All the strophes end with antithetical statement, in vs. 6, 10-11, 19-20. Repetition of vocabulary in adjacent line marks each strophe, being climactically intensified in the third (vv. 4-5, 10-11, 18-19, 19-20). A group of three participles prefixed with the article appears in both the second and third strophes (vv. 8, 14-16), and so does the particular participle ‘giving' (vv. 9, 16)” Allen, 308.147:1-6 The LORD is builder of Jerusalem147:7-11 He is Creator of all the universe147:12-20 He is God of Zion Psalm 147 and Jesus This psalm “articulates the incarnation of God's word (see John 1:1, 14). The cosmic God is personally, intimately, inextricably involved in the lives and futures of human beings…The only proper response to the good news of God's incarnational involvement with the world is to stand in awe (v. 11a) and to sing the words that convey the grateful offering of our lives, ‘Praise the LORD!'” McCann, 1269. 147:3 Jesus heals the broken hearted in Luke 4:18. The same word in the LXX is used in this verse. 147:6 The word used in the LXX for gentle is used in Matt. 11:29.147:8, 15-18 Jesus controls the weather in Matt. 8:23-27; Mark 4:35-41; Luke 8:22-25147:11 Jesus is the object of hope in Matt. 12:21; Rom. 15:12; I Cor. 15:19; Phil. 2:19147:14 Jesus is the Prince of peace in Eph. 2:14147:14 Jesus came offering Jerusalem peace, but they closed their eyes to it- Luke 19:42.147:14 Jesus satisfies with the finest of wheat- John 6:12147:15, 18, 19 Jesus is the Word of God- John 1:1-3, 14.147:19-20 The gospel is available to all nations- Matt. 28:18-20.
Send us a textAfter being in the ministry for over 40 years, Dr. Jim McCann has discovered that the type of outreach depends on the community that you are in. For example, rural/farming community versus city/urban community. In the rural communities, the people need to be touched in your outreach. You can organize Christmas parades, park days, and share information about the church and win people to Christ. His church wanted to be touchable, letting the people know that they loved them, they cared for them and that God had an exciting destiny for them to fulfill. They wanted to put a face to their church. Dr. McCann shares a number of outreaches they did at his church. For example, The 5th Quarter outreach after local high school football games built up a strong youth ministry. The church brought lunches for families at their homes during the summer/fall months, hosted family days with dinner on the church grounds, and organized children's crusades. They also went door to door in the community, asking to pray for anyone who is sick. By doing these things, they were putting a face to the church, and became touchable. City churches will have a different approach for reaching out to people in their area and will incorporate new technology in their outreaches. They will focus significantly on advertising and are in constant communication with team members, as well as networking with people in their communities. There is a lot of technology available now that is drawing people's attention. Why not use that for the Kingdom? God doesn't need any bells and whistles, and the Holy Spirit draws people. But if we are called to be excellent in everything we do, we can use these tools and bring people to the church. There are many online services and tools that are available for you. For example, creating graphics for social media and utilizing texting platforms, producing a QR code for an event, and as a result, setting people before your content. You can find different ways that are unique or perhaps haven't been done before. Many times this takes round table discussions with creative people. Find those people in your ministries who are coming up with ideas. God will also send individuals to your ministry to help with these areas. God has called us to be fishers of men, and data capture is a tool that we can use to catch people for God. When they come to church, they will find out more about Jesus and that there is a better way to live.
National Book Award-winning author Colum McCann says he chooses what to write about based on what he most wants to know. His latest novel “Twist” springs from his fascination with the underwater cables, no thicker than a garden hose, that carry some 95% of the world's telecommunications. McCann's protagonist is a journalist who goes asea to investigate a cable break off the coast of Africa after the Congo River floods. We talk to McCann about themes of sabotage and repair – both in the abyssal zone he writes about and in our lives. Guests: Colum McCann, author, “Twist” - his other novels include “Apeirogon,” “Transatlantic” and “Let the Great World Spin,” which won a National Book Award Learn more about your ad choices.

Psalm 146 145:21 prepared for these psalms from Psalms 146-150.This psalm “is a general celebration of God's benevolent qualities” Alter, 503. “These five Hallelujah psalms have the characteristic genre of the hymn of descriptive praise” VanGemeren, 846. Psalms 146-150 are psalms of praise. “In these psalms there is no reference to personal need, no petition, little that could be called historical allusion; all is focused on God; all is praise. But there is step-by-step progression in this praise. It begins with the individual (146:1), involves the community (147:1, 12), extends to heaven and earth (148:1, 7). If, however, the whole world is to offer praise for what the Lord has done for Israel (148:13-14) there is need for the praise of a people committed to mission (149) until everything that has breath praises the Lord (150:6)” Motyer, 581. These Psalms bring “the book of Psalms to a conclusion with a crescendo of praise” McCann, 1262. “In this respect as in many others, the Psalms are a miniature of our story as a whole, which will end in unbroken blessing and delight” Kidner, 483. “The LXX and Vulgate attribute Psalm 146 and 147 (which is divided into two psalms (147-148) to Haggai and Zechariah” VanGemeren, 864; Allen, 300.146:1 Praise the LORD, O my soul- 103:1, 22; 104:1, 35. 146:3 Do not trust in princes- 118:8-9; Jer. 17:5-8. Vss. 3-4 emphasizes the negative to stress the importance of putting our trust in God. “Humanism is essentially doomed. To commit oneself wholeheartedly to one's fellows leads to a dead end. Any man or group of men are transitory, and so are their philosophies and panaceas” Laymen's, 700. 146:5 How blessed is he whose help is the God of Jacob- Jer. 17:7 “This is the last of twenty-six beatitudes in the Psalter” Miller 445. Psalms 1:1; 2:12; 32:1, 2; 33:12; 34:8; 40:4; 41:1; 65:4; 84:4, 5, 12; 89:15; 94:12; 106:3; 112;1; 119:1, 2; 127:5; 128:1; 137:8, 9; 144:15, 15; 146:5. Miller, 445, groups them in categories. This final beatitude “effectively summarizes all the others (see 1:2; 2:12). 146:6 Who made heaven and earth- 115:15; 124:8; 134:3; Jer. 32:17, 27 Jesus and Psalm 146146:3-4 Jesus can give salvation that earthly rulers cannot give- Acts 4:12146:6 Jesus is the Maker of heaven and earth- John 1:1-3, 10.146:7 Jesus gives food to the hungry- Matt. 14:13-21; 15:32-39; Mark 6:30-44; Mark 8:1-10.146:7 Jesus sets the prisoners free- Luke 4:18-19; Acts 5:17-26; 12:5-12; 16:25-34.146:8 Jesus opens the eyes of the blind- Matt. 20:29-34; Mark 10:46-52.146:8 Jesus raises up all who are bowed down- Luke 13:10-17.“Like Father, like Son. For us, these lines may bring to mind the oracle of Isaiah 61 by which Jesus announced His mission, and the further clues to His identity which He sent back to John the Baptist (Luke 4:18f; 7:21f.)” Kidner, 484. Jesus, the Son of God and Messiah (King), helped the vulnerable. He upheld the cause of the oppressed, gave food to the hungry, set the prisoner free, gave sight to the blind and lifted those who were bowed down….Thus, the psalm can be read as a call to praise Jesus” Longman, 470. 146:9 But He thwarts the way of the wicked- “The relation between judgment and salvation in the work of Christ is one of the themes of the gospel: e.g.( John 3:17-19; 5:25-29). The eventual finality of both is a clearer prospect there than in the psalms” Kidner, 484.

So, the Courier Mail promotes OnlyFans in February.Then in July? OnlyFans doesn't look so good after all.In February 2025, the Courier Mail is promoting O.F. as a viable career choice. They publish an article that basically says, "hey, here is something you could consider as a career, look at all the money".Didn't someone once say that the love of money is the root of all kinds of evil?Now we have an OnlyFans 'Model' from Queensland in a little strife and ultimately exposing the reality of the OnlyFans 'Model' lifestyle.It is alleged that James McCann, the Banker, and Shauntelle Went, the O.F. 'Model', made an agreement on price for Went to procure two underage girls to meet McCann at the Sofitel Hotel.Soooooo, maybe OnlyFans isn't the wonderful career choice after all, but a quagmire of depravity and lust.Maybe the Courier Mail should report the news and not run articles promoting OnlyFans.This is just my opinion.Intro song is 'Bring Me Down'Buy Me a CoffeeThe Slippery Slope SpotifyJ Fallon SpotifyThe Slippery Slope Apple PodcastsThe Slippery Slope YouTube#jfallonmusic#theslipperyslopepodcast

Have you felt the pressure to be a “supermom”? We are examining the supermom fallacy, which often accompanies thoughts like, “I'm a failure, I can't keep up with this, and I'm a bad mom.” The problem with trying to be a supermom is the impact on mental health. This theme commonly comes up in therapy, and the idea that we have to do everything and do it well is too much pressure! Join us as we explore this topic, which will resonate with many people. Stacy McCann is a licensed mental health therapist and the owner of Present Moment Counseling Services, specializing in motherhood, postpartum, and beyond. She works with mothers to help them cope with the challenges of motherhood, including burnout, overwhelm, overstimulation, self-advocacy, and an equitable mental and physical load at home. Stacy launched the Supermom Dropout Club, a virtual community for moms who want to take up space, use their voice, and leave their supermom capes behind. She is the mom of a sweet and spicy 5-year-old and lives in the St. Louis area, where she enjoys gardening, cooking, and traveling.

A few notes from Psalm 145:14-21 and Jesus' fulfillment of Psalm 145 145:20 The LORD keeps all who love Him- There is a wordplay between the first word of the verse שםר and the last word of the verse שםדOne describing the LORD actions towards the righteous and the other His actions towards the wicked. Is watches over a better translation? How much does it promise? It certainly does not mean the absence of all trouble. “What hints it does offer of the human condition are not all sweetness and light: God's people may be bowed down and thus call and cry to Him for salvation (vv. 14, 18-19)” Broyles, 504. But all the wicked He will destroy- Wicked see 1:6; 104:35; 143:12. “He differentiates between those who love Him and those who are wicked, taking care of the former, but destroying the latter. In this He is a righteous God” Longman, 469. “This verse has the only direct mention of the wicked in the psalm…God's faithfulness be fully seen without reference to His uncompromising judgment” Kidner, 482. “His righteousness is indeed a righteousness of grace- loving, fulfilling desires, saving, watching over, but it is also the righteousness of holiness” Motyer, 581. “The sharp distinction between the wicked and those who love God recalls Psalm 1, and what applies to Psalm 1 applies to Psalm 145 as well” McCann, 1260. Psalm 145 and JesusJesus is King who has established God's kingdom. 145:1 I will extol You, my God- The word extol in LXX is the word for Jesus lifted up on the cross- John 3:14; 8:28; 12:32- and Jesus being exalted to God's right hand in Acts 2:33; 5:31.145:1 Jesus is King- Matt. 2:2; 21:5; 25:34, 40; 27:11, 29, 37,42; John 19:19, 21, 21; Acts 17:7; Rev. 17:14145:1, 2, 21 I will bless your name- The word for Name in the LXX is the word used in Phil. 2:9-10 for Jesus being given a name above every name. Acts 3:6, 16, 16; 4:7, 10, 12, 17, 18, 30; Eph. 1:21. 145:14 The LORD raises up all who are bowed down- The verb raises in the LXX is used three times in the NT- Luke 13:13; Acts 15:16; Heb. 12:12. Luke 13:13 deals with Jesus healing the woman who could not stand up straight in the synagogue.145:15 The word translated look in the NASB and is hope in the LXX. It is applied to Jesus in Matt. 12:21; I Cor. 15:19. It is the word in I Tim. 4:10; 5:5; 6:17 for hoping in God and not material wealth. The terms applied to God in the Psalms are applied to Jesus in the gospels. 145:15 You give them their food- The word give in the LXX is used nearly 500 times in the NT but it is used in Jesus feeding miracles (Matt. 14:19; 15:36; Mark 6:41; 8:6; Luke 9:16). 145:16 Jesus satisfies the desire of every living thing. The word satisfies in the LXX is the people being filled when Jesus multiplied the five loaves and two fish in John 6:12. 145:20 The LORD guards all who love Him. The word is applied to Jesus in John 17:12; II Tim. 1:12.
eir today announced a significant milestone in its nationwide 5G rollout, its next-generation mobile network now reaches 99% of the population, delivering high-speed, low-latency connectivity to nearly every corner of Ireland. At the same time, eir has seen a 60% year-on-year surge in 5G traffic and a 20% rise in overall data usage, highlighting the accelerating demand for fast, reliable mobile connectivity and reinforcing the success of its long-term digital transformation strategy. eir can also confirm that on Monday, 30 June, Lana Del Rey fans broke the record for the most eir mobile data used at an event in the Aviva stadium, with 55% more data used than the previous record-breaking American College Football game in August of 2024. With more than 2,660 mobile sites in operation, eir's network is not only Ireland's largest, but it is also verified as having Ireland's No.1 5G network availability. This position has been reaffirmed for the fifth consecutive year by Ookla, the global leader in network intelligence and speed testing. "This is a defining moment in Ireland's digital journey," said Fergal McCann, Chief Technology Officer at eir. "We've built the country's best available 5G network, and now we're seeing how vital that investment has become. With 5G traffic growing by 60% in just 12 months, the appetite for fast, dependable mobile data is undeniable - and our network is built to meet that demand." "5G is enabling more than just faster smartphones," McCann added. "It's powering remote healthcare, connected homes, live-streamed learning, real-time logistics, and the digital services that make modern life work. Our job is to make sure the network always stays one step ahead - and that every customer, no matter where they live, gets the experience they deserve." "Reaching 99% 5G population coverage is a powerful step forward for our customers," said Kealan Donoghue, Director of Consumer and Small Business at eir. "It strengthens the experience we already deliver - fast, reliable mobile connectivity that people can depend on every day. More and more customers are choosing eir because they know they'll get consistent 5G performance, wherever life takes them. At eir, our purpose is to connect for a better Ireland, and this achievement brings that promise to life in communities across the country." eir's network expansion is part of an almost €2 billion strategic investment programme launched in 2019 to reshape Ireland's digital infrastructure. In that time, eir has: Built over 850 new mobile sites, expanding reach into rural and previously underserved areas Deployed fibre backhaul to 1,300 sites, greatly improving network speed and capacity Achieved 99% population coverage with 5G, a landmark in nationwide connectivity The result is a future-ready mobile platform capable of supporting Ireland's growing digital economy and the daily lives of millions of customers. Looking ahead, eir plans to invest an additional €100 million over the next three years to expand its mobile network and boost capacity in high-demand areas. This includes continued upgrades in urban centres and expanded reach in rural communities, supporting eir's broader purpose: to connect for a better Ireland. "Connectivity should never be an eircode lottery," said McCann. "Whether it's a student in Galway, a farmer in Tipperary, or a start-up in Dublin, every person and business in Ireland deserves equal access to the digital world. That's the commitment we've made - and we're delivering on it." eir's vision is simple but ambitious: to create an inclusive, resilient, and future-proof digital infrastructure that connects communities, empowers growth, and supports innovation, north to south, urban to rural, today and into the future.

It's the end of everything! Welcome back to Part 2 of our season finale featuring Dr. Charles Liu, co-host Allen Liu, and our guest archaeology expert and author, Hannah Liu, MEd. (If you haven't caught up to Part 1, we highly recommend you do before embarking on the next leg of this journey! Listen here or wherever you get your podcasts!) We pick right up where we left off, with the next question from our audience. Daniela asks, “If a black hole hits the Sun, will Earth be destroyed?” Chuck explains a few ways a black hole can mess with our day, including the fact that long before any actual collision took place, the Sun would start shedding material that would destroy us. He compares that unlikely event to the actual example of cosmic destruction we're watching in NGC 4676 – aka “The Mice” – which are two galaxies swirling together in a death spiral playing out over hundreds of millions of years. Naturally, this leads Chuck to ponder what happens when civilizations fall apart here on Earth, and Hannah brings up the collapse of the Roman Empire. As she explains, “the fall of Rome happened a lot of times, and also, no time.” From 44 BCE and the assassination of Julius Caesar, to the 476 invasion and conquest of Rome by the Germanic tribes denoted by Edward Gibbon in The History of the Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire, to the fact ever since nations have claimed to be the descendants or inheritors of Rome. Chuck points out the influence of Gibbon's book on Isaac Asimov's “Foundation” series, followed by a very quick romp through “Decline and Fall of America” literature including The Handmaid's Tale, A Canticle for Liebowitz, Man in the High Castle, and the zombie apocalypse tour de force, World War Z. Then it's time for another question from the audience: Michael says, “I heard that scientists brought back a dire wolf. Could they bring back dinosaurs or animals that could destroy us all?” It turns out, these resurrected animals are just gray wolves that have been engineered to have some characteristics of the extinct predator. It's still a pretty impressive feat, though, and you'll hear how they collected bits and pieces of dire wolf DNA to “resurrect them.” Allen also brings up similar modification experiments they're doing on chickens to make them more dinosaur-like. Allen points out that bioengineered germs are far more likely to cause our destruction than resurrected dinosaurs, regardless of the world envisioned in the Jurassic Park franchise. And speaking of Michael Crichton, Chuck gives us a breakdown of his sci-fi classic, The Andromeda Strain, about bacteria from space that cause a biological outbreak here on Earth. Hannah points out that historically, some of the biggest killers of human beings have been plagues. She gives us a guided tour of the bubonic plagues, from the Black Death, which may have wiped out as much as 60% of the population of Europe, to the Plague of Justinian a thousand years earlier that killed as many as 100 million people, while also name dropping the Antonine Plague and the Spanish Flu!) And that's it Season 4 of The LIUniverse. Stay tuned for Season 5 after the summer.

Joseph McCann carried out two sprees of horrific sexual and violent crimes in Hertfordshire, London, Cheshire, and Greater Manchester. It was a matter of urgency to get him off the streets for the public's safety. No one in England was safe until he was behind bars. McCann had victimised both male and female, child and pensioners; there was no telling where or who he would target next. Eventually, he was apprehended and a date was set for his trial… (Part 3 of 3).*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Rising Sun by Colossus As I Dream by Moments Arcadia by Cody Martin Every Life Matters by Cody Martin Far From Home by Cody Martin Forbidden Wing by Cody Martin Kalahari by Cody Martin Sabotage by Cody Martin The Fall by Cody Martin Blackstone by Lincoln Davis Undernight by Lincoln Davis Night Watch by Third Age Sussex by Stephen Keech No Escape by Wicked Cinema The Curse by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theywalkamongus.

What does it take to truly learn something? To not just know it in theory, but to have it live in your hands? Discipline, repetition, and a touch of obsession might be part of it—but so is heart, motivation, and the magnetic force of curiosity that keeps pulling you forward.In this conversation with Dr. Henry McCann, we talk about what it means to engage deeply with the practice of medicine. Henry reflects on the phase of his life as a musician, how that shaped his sense of discipline, and how that along with decades of clinical work have taught him that mastery often comes through the basics—done over and over with intention.Listen into this discussion on cultivating clinical mastery, the hidden risks of over-relying on lineage, how repetition builds intuition, and why stubborn motivation might be one of your most valuable tools.
If there was any doubt that everything is an ad network, this year's Cannes Lions Festival of Creativity proves otherwise. To Peggy McCann, chief media officer at GSD&M ad agency, all signs point to one thing: retail media networks aren't going anywhere anytime soon. It's a tall order, but perhaps fits within the expectations of Cannes' pageantry. For media planners like McCann, the question is: is the Cannes flash enough to attract ad spend?
A large-scale manhunt was launched after a man abducted and sexually assaulted three women over the course of four days. Joseph McCann was publicly identified as the only suspect in the case. He had stayed under the radar for over a week. When he emerged, it was for the worst possible reason. McCann was going to carry out a 12-hour crime spree… (Part 2 of 3).*** LISTENER CAUTION IS ADVISED *** This episode was researched and written by Eileen Macfarlane.Edited by Joel Porter at Dot Dot Dot Productions.Script editing, additional writing, illustrations and production direction by Rosanna FittonNarration, additional audio editing and mixing, script editing by Benjamin Fitton.To get early ad-free access, including Season 1, sign up for They Walk Among PLUS, available from Patreon or Apple Podcasts.More information and episode references can be found on our website https://theywalkamonguspodcast.comMUSIC: Rising Sun by Colossus Darker Days by Alternate Endings The Diary by CJ0 The Only One In The Room by CJ Oliver The Fall by Cody Martin Titan by Cody Martin The Void by Cody Martin Dark Places by Wicked Cinema The Curse by Wicked Cinema Harvester by Wicked Cinema No Escape by Wicked Cinema SOCIAL MEDIA: https://linktr.ee/TheyWalkAmongUsSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/theywalkamongus.

What happens in Cheyenne doesn't stay in Cheyenne and some Sweetwater County representatives don't like that. Rep Darin McCann published an op-ed critical of his colleagues about a parental rights bill. What ensued is an editorial slap-fest. I thought we should hear it from Rep McCann himself.

252: In this episode, I sit down with my own doctor, Dr. Kelly McCann, to go over some of my recent test results and the detox protocols I'm doing to prep my body for pregnancy. We talk about glyphosate, mold, and other environmental toxins—and most importantly, what you can actually do about them. Dr. McCann is a total expert in helping people uncover mystery illnesses, like MCAS and hidden infections, especially when conventional doctors come up short. If you've been feeling off and haven't found answers yet, I hope this episode gives you some clarity, hope, and actionable steps to feel better. Topics Discussed: What are the symptoms of glyphosate exposure and how can you detox from it? How do environmental toxins like mold and “forever chemicals” impact fertility and overall health? What is MCAS (Mast Cell Activation Syndrome) and how is it diagnosed and treated? What kind of functional medicine testing can uncover hidden infections or chronic illness? How can you reduce your toxic load at home and support your body's natural detox pathways?
