Real People. Real Faith. Real Conversation. In this episode of Knowing God in Canada, Beth Schmidt sits down with retired police officer, chaplain, and longtime Precept Bible Study student Kevin McInnes. From serving with the Calgary Police Service to ministering to first responders and students, Kevin shares how God's Word has shaped every season of his life. Kevin reflects on over 40 years of studying Scripture through Precept Ministries, the life verse that guided his work and weekly decisions, and the surprising ways God fulfilled his calling through policing, chaplaincy, teaching, and ministry. He also shares a powerful story of how an Old Testament passage about the cities of refuge became the source of hope and healing during a tragic police funeral after an accidental shooting. This conversation is a moving reminder that God's Word is never wasted. Even the most difficult passages of Scripture can become life-giving truth in moments when people need hope the most. Join us as we talk about faith, humility, service, suffering, and what it means to be a “servant warrior” for Christ. Also available on our YouTube Channel: Precept Ministries Canada

The Proud Boys is a far-right neo-fascist organization that admits only men as members and promotes political violence. It is based in the United States and has a presence in Canada, Australia, and the United Kingdom. The group was started in 2016 by Vice Media co-founder and former commentator Gavin McInnes, taking its name from the song "Proud of Your Boy" from the Disney film Aladdin. Proud Boys emerged as part of the alt-right, but in early 2017, McInnes began distancing himself from the alt-right, saying the alt-right's focus is race while his focus is what he defines as "Western values". This re-branding effort intensified after the Unite the Right Rally.The group sees men — especially white men — and Western culture as under siege; their views have elements of white genocide conspiracy theory. While the group claims it does not support white supremacist views, its members often participate in racist rallies, events, and organizations. The organization glorifies violence, and members engage in violence at events it attends; the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has called it an "alt-right fight club".In late November 2018, a news story which attracted national attention reported that the FBI classified the Proud Boys as an extremist group with ties to white nationalism; however, two weeks later, an FBI official denied that it was their intent to classify the entire group in this manner, and ascribed the mistake to a misunderstanding. The official said that their intent was to characterize the possible threat from certain members of the group.The organization has been described as a hate group by NPR's The Takeawayand the Southern Poverty Law Center. In February 2019, despite having claimed to have broken ties with the group in November 2018, McInnes filed a federal defamation suit against the SPLC over their "hate group" designation,Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

In this episode of The 10 Ninety Podcast, Mason sits down with two parents whose lives were forever changed by the loss of their children — and who found an unexpected connection through that shared grief. Chris Craven lost her son Wyatt just days before his sixth birthday after a seven-month fight with AML, a rare and aggressive blood cancer. Jessica McInnes lost her 15-year-old son Race in just 48 hours, after a brain tumor was discovered only when it was already too late. Two very different journeys. One unimaginable heartbreak. Together, Mason, Chris, and Jessica have an unfiltered conversation about what it really means to live after loss: The quiet, enduring loneliness that never fully fades Why grief can make you feel like you're losing your mind — and why that's part of being human The question no parent should ever have to consider: is it harder to lose slowly, or instantly? Guilt, second-guessing, and the mind's need to find meaning in the unexplainable How losing a child reshapes your identity, your relationships, and your view of the world The unexpected role of humor in surviving the darkest moments Signs, spirituality, and the hope (or question) of something beyond this life What truly helps — and what doesn't — when someone you love is facing the unthinkable Seven years out. Three and a half years out. The grief doesn't go away — but it changes shape. And somehow, so do you. This is a conversation about loss, yes — but also about connection, resilience, and the ways we keep going when life doesn't make sense. ⚠️ Content Warning: This episode includes discussions of child loss, cancer, grief, and death.

Hawkins shares practical examples and insights on how organisations can align their efforts to meet the needs of the future, ultimately highlighting the unique contributions that teams can make to drive meaningful change.     Takeaways:  Organisations must be purpose-led, not profit-led.  Stakeholder-centricity is crucial for modern organisations.  Partnership with stakeholders enhances organizational effectiveness.  Teams should be more than the sum of their parts.  Organisational learning must outpace external changes.  Trust is essential, but addressing mistrust is equally important.  WeQ, or collaborative intelligence, is vital for leadership.  Connection in leadership should focus on shared purpose.  Purpose should be discovered, not created.  Organisational culture is shaped by collective patterns.    Chapters:  00:00 Introduction to the Podcast and Guest  02:13 Essential Elements for Organisations in the 21st Century  05:42 The Importance of Purpose in Organisations  08:25 The Role of Organisational Culture and Learning  12:54 Collective Leadership and Team Dynamics  17:16 Trust and Mistrust in Teams  18:42 The Nature of Team Relationships  22:10 The Concept of WeQ and Collaborative Intelligence  23:13 Connection in the Age of Technology  27:40 Understanding and Defining Purpose  31:30 Leading Towards an Evolving Purpose  37:12 The Unique Contribution of Teams and Organisations  39:47 Organisational Culture and Its Habituated Patterns  41:06 Conclusion and Final Thoughts    Connect with us:  LinkedIn  |  YouTube  |  Instagram    Connect with Prof. Peter Hawkins:  LinkedIn  |  Website - Personal  |  Website - Company Keywords:  leadership, organisational culture, purpose, collaboration, team dynamics, coaching, stakeholder engagement, collective intelligence, trust, systemic coaching  

GRWM is a new group exhibition showing at RM gallery. The show brings together the practices of Aria McInnes, Keani Rewha, and Rita Takeuchi, into an exploration of the performed self. The title of the show GRWM references the viral online video genre ‘Get Ready With Me' a trend in which the personal everyday rituals of individuals are performed and shared to a public platform/audience. Each of the artists reflects on these notions through their respective practices, analysing the contemporary online behaviour that surrounds them and its effects on everyday rituals, and the navigation of everyday life.  Aria McInnes is a Tāmaki-based artist and retailer who examines how sincerity is staged across personal and private life within consumer culture through a practice of sculptural installation. Within GRWM, McInnes displays an installation of an at-home gym. Producing a mixture of found and fabricated campy gym equipment, that shifts the gallery space into a set-like stage of self improvement.   Rita Takeuchi is a Tāmaki-based artist, who produces beautiful oil paintings that seek to delve into the exploration of the diaristic everyday. Reframing the typically overlooked mundane and pulling it into a place of meditative reflection to be remembered.  Maya caught up with both Aria and Rita about the show.

In this week's episode of the Building Better Cultures podcast, Scott McInnes speaks with Kim Bohr, President and COO of Spark Effect, about the critical role of trust in organisations. They discuss the findings from the report 'Trust in Turbulence' which breaks down trust into measurable domains and emphasises its importance as a competitive advantage. The conversation explores how disruptions, such as the return to office policies, impact trust, and how organizations can build and rebuild trust through effective communication and leadership practices.  Takeaways:  Trust is a measurable and critical component of organisational success.  Disruptions can erode trust in everyday interactions.  Return to office policies must be communicated effectively to maintain trust.  High trust organizations see better performance and retention rates.  Low trust environments lead to increased turnover and disengagement.  Younger generations prioritize alignment of values with their employers.  Technology rollouts can significantly impact trust dynamics.  Managers play a crucial role in translating corporate messages to their teams.  Celebrating achievements fosters a culture of trust and connection.  Rebuilding trust requires transparency and accountability from leadership.  Keywords:  Organisational trust, trust in leadership, building better cultures, trust metrics, employee engagement, return to office, trust and performance, psychological safety, technology and trust, trust rebuilding strategies  Chapters  00:00Introduction to Trust in Organizations  02:04Understanding Trust as a Competitive Advantage  04:24The Impact of Disruption on Trust  08:25Return to Office: Trust and Communication  11:51Linking Trust to Organizational Performance  13:57Low Trust and Its Effects on Culture  16:15Attracting Talent in a Low Trust Environment  18:11Technology's Role in Trust Dynamics  20:50Practical Steps to Build Trust  25:56Celebrating Achievements and Building Connections  29:57Rebuilding Trust After a Breach    Link to the report mentioned in the episode:  Report    Connect with us:  LinkedIn YouTube Instagram

Peter Martin reckons the Hibs fans are the most annoyed with Derek McInnes and his Hearts side at the top of the league. Can Hearts win again at Ibrox? Will Neil McCann do his old side Rangers a favour by beating Celtic. Will St Mirren fight their way out of a relegation dog fight at the bottom of the Scottish Premiership?

Hugh MacDonald and Gordon Parks believe Derek McInnes should get all the credit if Hearts win the title, not Jamestown Analytics. The Edinburgh derby is discussed. The possibility of Celtic changing their signing policy in the summer and Eni Aluko's place in broadcast punditry.
