09-06-2026 - A Secure Covenant (Paul McGrew) Revolution Church SCRIPTURE: Psalm 89DISCUSSION/REFLECTION QUESTIONS:How often do you struggle with the idea that God contradicts Himself? That the Bible says one thing, and then something else? How do you find peace with these apparent contradictions?Can you think of a time when it seems like things did not work out the way you thought they would? Maybe, you even thought God was pointing you in a certain direction, and walking down this path has been a difficult journey?How can reminding ourselves of who Jesus is, and what He has done help us endure the storms of life? What can we do to remind ourselves more of Jesus when our minds are elsewhere?There are dragons and sea monsters and mythical creatures representing real life chaos in the Bible? What is up with that? How would looking more into this concept help you better understand the larger story of the Bible? Would you be willing to give the Bible Project series “Chaos Dragon” a shot to see if it helps you draw closer to God?
Did Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John rewrite or reshape the history of Jesus? Did the Gospel writers rearrange events, alter details, or even create scenes that never actually happened?These are some of the challenging claims being made in contemporary New Testament scholarship—and they raise an important question for Christians: Can we trust the Gospels as historically reliable accounts of the life of Jesus?In this episode of the Bible and Theology Matters Podcast, Dr. Paul Weaver is joined by Dr. Lydia McGrew, an analytic philosopher and prominent defender of the historical reliability of the New Testament and the Gospels.Dr. McGrew explains her journey from philosophy and formal epistemology into New Testament studies and discusses why she became increasingly concerned about scholarly approaches to the Gospels that, in her view, undermine their historical reliability.The conversation focuses particularly on genre criticism, Greco-Roman biography (bioi), compositional devices, authorial intent, eyewitness testimony, undesigned coincidences, and biblical inerrancy.Dr. McGrew challenges the idea that the Gospel writers intentionally changed historical facts for theological or literary purposes. She argues that there is an important difference between ordinary figures of speech—such as hyperbole—and what she calls fact-changing literary devices, in which an author knowingly presents something as having happened when he believes it did not.One example discussed is the Gospel of John and Jesus' statement, "I thirst." Another is the location and timing of the temple cleansing and the claim that Luke deliberately relocated events geographically.The discussion also asks a crucial question: Where does legitimate literary analysis end and historical revision begin?In this episode, you'll discover:What genre criticism is and how it is being applied to the GospelsWhat scholars mean by Greco-Roman bioi or ancient biographyWhether identifying the Gospels as Greco-Roman biographies strengthens or limits their historical reliabilityThe difference between intrinsic and extrinsic genreWhy authorial intent matters when interpreting ScriptureWhat compositional devices are and why Dr. McGrew challenges their application to the GospelsThe difference between ordinary figures of speech and fact-changing literary devicesWhether the Gospel writers deliberately changed the order or details of historical eventsThe significance of Jesus saying "I thirst" in the Gospel of JohnThe debate over the cleansing of the temple in John 2The question of whether Luke relocated events from Galilee to JerusalemWhy undesigned coincidences can provide evidence for eyewitness testimonyHow internal details in the Gospels can support their historical reliabilityWhy the historical reliability of the Gospels matters for Christian faith and apologeticsWhether Christians need specialized academic knowledge to understand what the Gospels are communicatingHow genre criticism may affect pastors, preaching, and confidence in the biblical textThe relationship between biblical inerrancy, historical reliability, and interpretationWhy Christians should carefully evaluate scholarly arguments rather than simply accepting claims based on academic credentialsWhy Does This Matter?This discussion is ultimately about more than literary theory.If the Gospels are intended to communicate genuine historical events, but we are told that the Gospel authors routinely changed facts, relocated events, or created scenes while presenting them as history, that has significant implications for what Christians can know about the life, ministry, death, and resurrection of Jesus.As Dr. McGrew explains, the question is not whether the Gospel writers used literary techniques. Scripture clearly contains different genres and figures of speech. The more important question is whether those techniques include deliberately changing historical facts while leaving readers with the impression that those events actually occurred.This episode invites listeners to examine those claims carefully and to consider the evidence for the historical trustworthiness of the Gospels.If you are interested in New Testament reliability, biblical inerrancy, Gospel historicity, Christian apologetics, genre criticism, eyewitness testimony, or how scholars interpret the Gospels, this conversation is for you.About Dr. Lydia McGrewDr. Lydia McGrew is an analytic philosopher who specializes in formal epistemology and the theory of knowledge. She has published extensively in philosophy and has become well known for her work defending the historical reliability of the New Testament and the Gospels.She is the author of Hidden in Plain View, The Mirror or the Mask, The Eye of the Beholder, and Testimonies to the Truth, works that examine evidence for eyewitness testimony, undesigned coincidences, and the historical reliability of the Gospel accounts.

Most workforce development advice sounds good until you try to scale it. Today we get specific, practical, and a little disruptive with PJ McGrew, Senior Vice President of Talent Strategy and Programming at Conexus Indiana, on why the Swiss apprenticeship model works and what it takes to adapt it for modern manufacturing in the United States.We talk about the real bottleneck nobody wants to admit: education systems cannot sustainably deliver dozens of employer-specific training plans. PJ shares how an industry talent association can bring manufacturers together to define shared occupational standards, then translate those standards into repeatable high school CTE courses and work-based learning. The goal is a clearer, employer-led pathway that starts in a student's junior year, navigates hazardous occupation rules, and builds job-ready skills that reduce retraining on day one.We also zoom out to the bigger picture: changing how families define a “good job,” opening factory doors so students can see clean, tech-enabled facilities, and building foundational skills that let people specialize later. That includes CNC, automation and robotics, PLC concepts, and especially troubleshooting and adaptability. We wrap with what manufacturers can do right now to start small, train supervisors to mentor teens, and connect talent strategy with digital adoption, including the rising pressure to add AI literacy and prompt-writing skills.If you found this useful, subscribe for more conversations on industrial automation careers, share the episode with a manufacturer or educator, and leave a review so more people can find the show.Support the show_________________________________________________________________
Smart Agency Masterclass with Jason Swenk: Podcast for Digital Marketing Agencies
Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you gotten mediocre output from AI and blamed the tool? Are you running a marketing team that is still activity-based when the clients who trust you need you to own outcomes? Today's featured guest came up through the Navy, where he learned that calm in chaos comes from frameworks, not confidence. In this episode, Kevin walks through SMAC, the military-derived operating framework he uses with clients, employees, and his own agency. He also gets into the Iron Man model for AI usage, how he cut a two-day research process to eight minutes, and what his Red Lens tool does before any campaign goes out the door. Kevin McGrew is the founder and CEO of Strategos, a demand generation agency based in Southern California. He served in the Navy after high school, where he discovered that elite performance under pressure is a function of drilled frameworks, not natural ability. He went on to found and exit three businesses before launching Strategos, which started as a social media agency at the dawn of Facebook business pages and has since evolved into a full demand generation model. Kevin trains his team and his clients on the SMAC framework and has rebuilt his entire production model around what he calls human-led, AI-amplified operations. In this episode, we'll discuss: Kevin's SMAC Framework for successful campaigns The Iron Man model for human-AI relationships How to get a resistant team to use AI Subscribe Apple | Spotify | iHeart Radio Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Why Spray and Pray Is Still the Default and What SMAC Replaces It With In his time in the Navy, Kevin was impressed by how cool, calm, and collected the SEALs were when dealing with stressful situations. The reason for this was basically training and frameworks. This is something he applies to every aspect of his life, and it's the tool he uses to train his team on how to build winning campaigns with the SMAC framework, which comes directly from military operation: Shoot: knowing your target with enough specificity that you are not wasting ammo. In marketing terms, that is ICP clarity before any campaign launches, understanding who you are looking for before you spend a dollar trying to reach them. Move: staying agile and not sitting still long enough for the competitive environment to get a clear bead on you. Adapt: this is the data discipline: running campaigns on real signals rather than assumptions, the way combat aircraft are identified friend or foe before anyone pulls a trigger. Communicate: this refers to preparation, having the right message built before you need it rather than scrambling to write copy mid-campaign. The reason most agencies default to activity-based marketing instead of this kind of disciplined execution is the same reason Kevin's early Navy self had no framework for anything: nobody built it for them. Spray and pray is what happens when the target package is unclear and the pressure to produce something is higher than the standard for producing the right thing. SMAC does not require a military background. It requires deciding, before the work starts, that clarity is worth more than speed. The Iron Man Model and What the Suit Cannot Do Without the Operator Kevin uses Iron Man to frame the human-AI relationship. Basically, the suit by itself is junk. Tony Stark is the variable that matters. AI handles research and synthesis, first draft production, and reporting narratives, the parts of the work where speed and information aggregation are the constraints. The human operator stays accountable to the client, owns the strategic direction, and runs everything through a quality check before it goes out. The practical output of this model is striking. A competitive landscape analysis that used to take two and a half days of dedicated people hours now takes eight minutes. Monthly client reports that required two hours of prep are now twenty minutes. That compression is coming from building the right AI infrastructure, training it on your frameworks and your quality standards, and having the discipline to keep humans in the accountability seat. The agencies getting burned by AI right now are the ones treating the first draft as a finished output. The ones building leverage are the ones who figured out what the suit is actually for. The Red Lens: Why You Need a Skeptic Before Anything Ships AI is optimistic about its own output. It produces something impressive-looking and fast, and the human reviewing it gets pulled into the quality of the presentation rather than the quality of the thinking underneath it. This is why Kevin built an internal tool called Red Lens. Red Lens is an agent trained as a skeptic that reviews every campaign output before it launches. It runs Gary Klein's pre-mortem framework: instead of reviewing what went wrong after the fact, it anticipates what is going to fail before money gets spent. The results of running this tool on their own output have been instructive. The tool flags messaging aimed at the wrong stage of the buyer journey, audiences that do not match the campaign brief, and positioning claims that cannot hold up under scrutiny. It catches things the human team missed because they were too close to the work. Every agency that is shipping AI-assisted content without a systematic skeptic layer is doing the equivalent of proofing your own copy. You see what you intended to write, not what you actually wrote. Red Lens is the outside read that makes the inside work trustworthy. Crawl, Walk, Run: How to Get a Resistant Team Actually Using AI How do you get a team that thinks AI is cheating or that it will replace them to actually adopt it? Kevin approached the solution at the operational level. The answer was not a training session or a mandate. It was engineering small, undeniable wins at the individual level before asking anyone to change how they work at the system level. Kevin calls them micro moments of awesomeness: twelve to fifteen small experiences where a team member feels the tool working for them rather than threatening them. Crawl, walk, run is the philosophy underneath it. You do not learn to sprint before you can stand. You master the foundation layer until it becomes the floor, and then you add the next layer on top of that. The agencies that have struggled most with AI adoption inside their teams are the ones that announced the new direction without engineering the experience of what it feels like to win with it. Giving someone a taste of the efficiency before asking them to commit to the change is not soft management. It is how behavioral adoption actually works.

The Future of Workforce Development & Talent with PJ McGrew Brought to you by End-to-End Services and Lightleap AI (lightleapai.com) Guest: PJ McGrew, SVP of Talent Strategy and Programming, Conexus Indiana Episode Summary Host Dr. Rod Berger sits down with PJ McGrew to explore how Indiana is rethinking workforce development for the modern manufacturing era. PJ shares his journey from state government to Conexus Indiana, and how a network of 130+ manufacturing companies is co-designing education pipelines that prepare students for an AI- and automation-driven future. Key Topics Covered PJ's Background – From the Center for Education and Career Innovation under Governor Pence, to Chief of Staff at the State Board of Education, to Education Policy Advisor under Governors Pence and Holcomb, to the Governor's Workforce Cabinet — PJ's career traces the evolution of Indiana's education-workforce alignment efforts. Conexus Indiana & the Industry Talent Association – How Conexus, part of the CEOs of Indiana Corporate Partnership, brings together 130+ manufacturers to identify workforce needs and influence the education system accordingly. Skills-First, Not Job-First – Manufacturers pushed for building broad, foundational skills over narrow occupational training — recognizing that integrated, cross-functional roles are becoming the norm on the modern factory floor. The Retirement Cliff – 30%+ of Indiana's manufacturing workforce is over 55. Recruiting the next generation through exciting, technology-forward programming is critical. New Indiana Diploma Seals – Approved in December 2024, six new diploma seals include three that require work-based learning (75–650 hours), creating formal pathways for apprenticeships and internships. The Modern Apprenticeship Model – Inspired by Switzerland and Germany's employer-led vocational systems, Indiana's apprenticeship pilot (launched 2020) has served ~600 students. A new occupational standard is being ratified with 6 employers hosting ~10 apprentices in an upcoming pilot phase. Earn Indiana Program – A work-study-style program offsetting ~50% of intern/apprentice wages, lowering the barrier for employers to engage students early. Blind Spots in the System – Fragmented funding streams, transportation barriers, lack of local intermediaries, and siloed program design are key challenges that need system-level solutions. Cross-State Learning – Indiana was an early mover on industry talent associations; now states like Colorado are adopting the model. Cross-state knowledge sharing is active but nuanced, given regional differences. Pathway Consolidation – Plans to consolidate Indiana's 10 manufacturing CTE pathways into fewer, competency-aligned tracks to reduce confusion and better match employer needs. Quotes to Remember "If we're gonna design this new system, we need to show students that they can have a career in manufacturing." "Listening to employers earlier in the process means students are better prepared — and employers save on retraining costs." "We need local intermediaries to translate what employers need into what schools and students can actually access."

SCRIPTURE: Luke 4 REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:What is your current relationship with the Bible? How has this relationship changed over the course of your spiritual journey?Paul focuses on the story of Jesus's time in the wilderness and the comfort his knowledge of Scripture provides. What can you learn from this story? What might it reveal about how Scripture can help you in your own life?What do you think it takes to have the kind of relationship with Scripture that Jesus has?What are some of your fears or anxieties about reading Scripture more consistently?The main claim in the sermon (borrowed from C.S. Lewis!) is that “It is Christ Himself, not the Bible, who is the true Word of God. The Bible, read in the right spirit and with the guidance of good teachers, will bring us to Him.” What can you learn from this idea?A key idea in this series is that the “lifelines” we have as followers of Jesus aren't just ways to help us “hang in there,” they are also paths to experiencing real change and transformation in our lives. How might a deeper relationship with the Bible accomplish this in your life?

James shares how a lifelong bond with Yosemite and early encouragement from teachers and family pushed him toward a career in representational painting, even when art schools favored abstraction. He explains how studying biology, geology, chemistry, and environmental education deepened his understanding of light, landforms, and ecosystems, making his landscapes more convincing and meaningful. James describes his dual life as a full-time painter and seasonal Yosemite interpretive ranger, using both roles to connect people emotionally and intellectually to the natural world. He emphasizes the power of working from life, developing visual memory, and truly knowing one's subject—whether it's a cliff face, endangered owl, or peregrine falcon. Over time his motivation has shifted from personal inspiration to a clear conservation mission: using art as a vehicle to advocate for fragile ecosystems and endangered species. He also advises aspiring artists to be true to themselves, spend time in nature, focus on long-term perseverance, and on building real human connections—with collectors, galleries, and fellow artists—rather than chasing awards or trends. J Finally, James tells us about his upcoming solo show at the Ansel Adams Gallery in Yosemite (opening May 4), as well as group shows including the California Art Club Gold Medal Exhibition, the Art Renewal Center Salon in New York, and invitational events at Grand Canyon and Zion later this year.James' FASO site:jamesmcgrewfineart.com/James' Social Media:facebook.com/jamesmcgrewfineart/instagram.com/jamesmcgrewfineart/

SCRIPTURE: Psalm 23 REFLECTION/DISCUSSION QUESTIONS:Have you been reading through the Psalms with us so far? What have your experiences with these verses been like?Read Psalm 23 again: what stands out to you here? What claims is the psalmist making about God and/or God's character? What questions does the psalmist seem to be wrestling with? Have you ever felt like you're in “the valley of the shadow of death”? What happened in that experience? What helped you to move through it?Paul helpfully (and bluntly!) reminds us that believing God is really with us isn't always easy to do. Do you sometimes struggle with this? What shape do those struggles take?Paul also points out that God puts His reputation on the line for us in these verses! How does this idea shape/reshape what you think about this Psalm?Once again, this sermon concludes with the invitation to look at Jesus when we are afraid and full of doubts. Is this something you have ever done before? Is it something that feels hard to do? What questions do you still have about God's “nearness” in times of trouble? What hope might there be?

On this episode, we dive into those questions with philosopher Dr. Timothy McGrew and astrophysicist Dr. Luke Barnes in order to help you fine tune your thinking about the fine tuning of the universe. Critics of the fine-tuning argument will often invoke probabilities in order to get around the argument's deeper implication of the existence of God. Tim and Luke will explore some of the issues in probability theory as it informs the physics of the fine-tuning argument. Dr. Timothy McGrewTimothy McGrew is Professor of Philosophy at Western Michigan University, where he has taught for the past 25 years. His research interests include formal epistemology, the history and philosophy of science, and the history and philosophy of religion. When he is not doing philosophy, he enjoys playing chess online, coaching at his local chess club, running trails, and making high quality paper airplanes. He lives in SW Michigan with his wife, Lydia McGrew, and their daughters.Dr. Luke BarnesDr Luke A. Barnes is a Senior Lecturer in Physics at Western Sydney University. With a PhD in astronomy from the University of Cambridge, he has published papers in the field of galaxy formation and on the fine-tuning of the Universe for life. He is the coauthor with Prof. Geraint Lewis of A Fortunate Universe: Life in a Finely-Tuned Cosmos and The Cosmic Revolutionary's Handbook: (Or: How to Beat the Big Bang), published by Cambridge University Press.

As OpenAI's former Head of Research, Bob McGrew witnessed the company's evolution from GPT-3's breakthrough to today's reasoning models. He argues that there are three legs of the stool for AGI—Transformers, scaled pre-training, and reasoning—and that the fundamentals that will shape the next decade-plus are already in place. He thinks 2025 will be defined by reasoning while pre-training hits diminishing returns. Bob discusses why the agent economy will price services at compute costs due to near-infinite supply, fundamentally disrupting industries like law and medicine, and how his children use ChatGPT to spark curiosity and agency. From robotics breakthroughs to managing brilliant researchers, Bob offers a unique perspective on AI's trajectory and where startups can still find defensible opportunities.

John speaks with writer and mathematician Bethel McGrew to unpack the cultural and spiritual currents of our time, from navigating political alliances, to countering secular scepticism. She discusses Jordan Peterson's role in sparking spiritual curiosity among young men, while highlighting his hesitation to fully grasp the Gospel's divine message. McGrew also examines the evangelical divide over Donald Trump, the cultural pushback against transgenderism, and the enduring hope offered by Christianity in an age of despair. McGrew also defends the historical reliability of the bible and the resurrection's evidential strength, addressing the claims of modern sceptics. She reflects on the rise of a subversive Christian identity, the need for authentic heroes, and the power of faith to heal social wounds. Bethel McGrew is an American freelance writer and cultural critic. She has published in The Spectator, National Review, First Things, Plough, and many other outlets. She also writes at her Substack: https://www.furtherup.net/.
