Mental shortcuts, such as bias, are essential to our survival. Understanding that unconscious bias is a mental shortcut makes it easier to examine it in ourselves, instead of simply rejecting the idea that we might harbor it. If it's a moral failing, well, clearly, I don't want to admit that possibility about myself. If we are willing to look at ourselves, we can dig into what unconscious biases we may have. We can consider where they started. Without punishing judgment of ourselves or our early influences. My most recent guest, David Hoffman, described the article he had written with Helen Winter, called “Follow the Science: Proven Strategies for Reducing Unconscious Bias.” You can find it here: https://blc.law/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/Follow-the-Science-Proven-Strategies-for-Reducing-Unconscious-Bias-Final-2023-04-15.pdf Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Intuition, Wahrnehmung und innere Klarheit – Begriffe, die man auf Baustellen und in Projektbesprechungen nur selten hört. Und doch spielen sie im Alltag vieler Menschen eine größere Rolle, als oft zugegeben wird. In dieser besonderen Podcast-Folge spreche ich mit Leonidas Gerald Schafferer, Bauingenieur, Mediator, Coach und Gründer der Raum.schafferer KG. Gemeinsam werfen wir einen Blick auf ein Thema, das in der Bauwirtschaft meist im Hintergrund bleibt: die Frage, ob erfolgreiche Projektarbeit ausschließlich auf Fakten, Zahlen und Analysen beruht – oder ob es noch weitere Ebenen der Wahrnehmung gibt. Leonidas erzählt offen von seinem persönlichen Weg vom Bauingenieur zum Menschenbegleiter und berichtet, welche Rolle Intuition, Achtsamkeit und innere Wahrnehmung in seinem Berufsleben spielen. Dabei sprechen wir nicht über Glaubensfragen, sondern über die Fähigkeit, Situationen, Menschen und Dynamiken bewusster wahrzunehmen. Wir diskutieren, warum viele Menschen ihre Intuition zwar nutzen, aber kaum darüber sprechen. Außerdem gehen wir der Frage nach, welchen Beitrag innere Klarheit, Selbstreflexion und ein besserer Zugang zu den eigenen Wahrnehmungen für erfolgreiche Zusammenarbeit leisten können. In dieser Folge erfährst du: - Warum Intuition und Wahrnehmung auch in technischen Berufen eine wichtige Rolle spielen - Wie Leonidas seinen persönlichen Zugang zu diesen Themen gefunden hat - Weshalb viele Menschen ihre Wahrnehmungen nicht offen ansprechen - Welche Bedeutung Selbstreflexion und innere Klarheit für Führung und Zusammenarbeit haben - Warum erfolgreiche Projekte mehr brauchen als reine Fachkompetenz Eine spannende Folge für alle, die offen dafür sind, die menschliche Seite von Projekten neu zu entdecken.

As a result of the persistent unfaithfulness of the Old Covenant priests, God promised to deliver the New Covenant Priest; the ultimate Shepherd and only Mediator to lead God's people into complete forgiveness of sins and genuine righteousness with God. The most interesting fact is that God Himself promises not only to be that Priest but also to be the sacrifice. This episode details how God the Son, the Lord Jesus Christ is the New Covenant Priest, 'Scapegoat,' and God-pleasing sacrifice all in one.

Better Covenant, Better Mediator, Better Hope - Hebrews 8 John Ervine - 7th June 2026 Download
Hebrews 8 lands the plane. There's a Priest who sat down because His work is done, the Mediator of a covenant where God Himself does the keeping. The four I-wills mean your law is written on your heart, your identity settled, your access direct, your sins remembered no more. Heaven has declared the old obsolete — so stop running your walk with God on a system He's already taken offline.You don't keep this covenant. You live inside the One who already did.

Welcome to Day 2877 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2877 – Wisdom Nuggets – Psalm 133:1-3 Daily Wisdom Wisdom-Trek Podcast Script - Day 2877 Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps! I am Guthrie Chamberlain, and we are on Day 2877 of our Trek. The Purpose of Wisdom-Trek is to create a legacy of wisdom, to seek out discernment and insights, and to boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. The Title for today's Wisdom-Trek is: The Song of Ascent – The Cosmic Dew of Holy Harmony In our previous episode on this grand, multi-generational expedition, we scaled the breathtaking, final heights of Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Two. We listened in hushed, reverent awe as the human voices of the pilgrims receded, and Yahweh Himself took the cosmic microphone to deliver His final, unyielding oracle. We witnessed the High King of heaven plant His royal flag upon Mount Zion, declaring it to be His permanent, centralized command center forever. We marveled at His glorious, sovereign promises to completely erase hunger by satisfying the poor with bread, to wrap his priests in the defensive armor of salvation, and to cause the royal power of David's ultimate Descendant to sprout like a living horn, radiating a blooming, immortal crown of victory that completely humiliates the rebel powers of darkness. Today, we step forward onto the fourteenth, and penultimate, ridge of this magnificent pilgrim trail. We are immersing our souls in the second-to-last Song of Ascent: Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Three, verses one through three, in the New Living Translation. This short, brilliant masterpiece, written by King David, contains only three brief verses. Yet, what it lacks in physical length, it more than makes up for in profound, world-altering spiritual depth. It provides the perfect, beautiful relational resolution to the epic structural themes we explored in the previous psalm. Once the Divine Warrior has completely secured His cosmic headquarters on the mountain, and once His righteous King is securely enthroned, we are finally permitted to look inside the fortress walls to witness the internal, radiant atmosphere of the kingdom. We are moving from the grand architecture of the throne room, directly into the intimate, fragrant, and refreshing fellowship of the family of God. Let us step onto this sacred section of the trail, and discover the true, supernatural anatomy of holy harmony. Segment one is: The Sacred Assembly and the Subversion of Babel Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Three: verse one. How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony! The song opens with an ecstatic, heartfelt exclamation of delight: “How wonderful and pleasant it is when brothers live together in harmony!” The Hebrew vocabulary used here is incredibly rich. The word for “wonderful” is tov, which means inherently good, functional, and in perfect alignment with the original design of creation. It is the exact same word the Creator used in the opening chapters of Genesis when He looked at His newly organized cosmos and declared it “good.” The word for “pleasant” is na'im, implying something that is deeply delightful, sweet, and aesthetically beautiful to experience. The psalmist is looking at a specific human reality, and recognizing it as a literal slice of heaven on earth. To fully comprehend the immense weight of this opening verse, we must view this gathering through the profound lens of the Ancient Israelite divine council worldview, as taught by Doctor Michael S. Heiser. We must remember that the natural state of the world outside of Zion was characterized by fierce fragmentation, hostility, and relentless warfare. In the Deuteronomy chapter thirty-two worldview, when humanity rebelled at the Tower of Babel, Yahweh disinherited the nations, scattering them across the face of the earth, and placing them under the jurisdiction of lesser spiritual beings—the sons of God. Those territorial elohim subsequently rebelled, corrupting their assignments, and driving their respective human empires to constantly fight, exploit, and destroy one another. Chaos, division, and tribal hatred were the native operating systems of the fallen world. But here, on the slopes of Mount Zion, a supernatural miracle is taking place. The scattered tribes of Israel—who often suffered from internal rivalries and external political stress—have left their separate territories behind. They have marched up the mountain pass, passed through the seamless gates of Jerusalem, and they are now sitting down together, side-by-side, as one unified family. The Hebrew phrase for “together in harmony” is gam yachad, which implies an absolute, indivisible unity of purpose, heart, and soul. This holy harmony is a direct, aggressive subversion of the dark principalities. Yahweh's heavenly council is defined by perfect, unified execution of the divine will, and humanity was originally created to serve as the earthly extension of that loyal celestial family. When the brothers live together in harmony on Zion, they are restoring the original blueprint of Eden. They are demonstrating to the watching, rebel spirits that the unifying love of the Creator is completely breaking the power of the Babel fragmentation. Holy harmony is not just a nice, sentimental feeling; it is a declaration of cosmic victory, showing that the true King has successfully gathered His scattered children into one unshakeable, loving household. Segment two is: The Fragrant Overflow of Vertical Sanctity Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Three: verse two. For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the collar of his robes. To describe the invisible, spiritual reality of this brotherly harmony, David deploys a highly specific, deeply sacred, and intensely sensory metaphor: “For harmony is as precious as the anointing oil that was poured over Aaron's head, that ran down his beard and onto the collar of his robes.” To the modern, Western reader, the image of thick oil running down a man's face, soaking into his beard, and dripping onto his clothing might sound messy, or even unappealing. But to the ancient Near Eastern mind, this was a picture of ultimate luxury, supreme consecration, and overwhelming divine favor. The psalmist is referring explicitly to the shemen hatob—the unique, holy anointing oil described in Exodus chapter thirty. This was not ordinary cooking oil; it was a highly concentrated, priceless compound of pure olive oil infused with massive amounts of liquid myrrh, fragrant cinnamon, sweet cane, and cassia. It was strictly forbidden for common use. When this oil was poured out, its rich, majestic, and intoxicating fragrance would instantly fill the entire environment, completely overriding the smells of the physical world. Look at the specific directional movement of the oil in the text: it is poured over Aaron's head, it runs down his beard, and it flows directly onto the collar of his priestly robes. This represents a magnificent, vertical cascade of holiness. Aaron was the High Priest, the designated human mediator who was authorized to step into the Holy of Holies to stand before the Ark of the Covenant—the literal footstool of Yahweh's throne. When Aaron was anointed, the oil was poured out with radical, wasteful abundance. This vertical flow symbolizes the downpouring of heavenly sanctity from the King of the cosmos into the physical realm. The oil starts at the head—the seat of divine authority—and it completely saturates the mediator, flowing down until it covers the entire body of the priesthood, which represents the collective community of Israel. David is teaching us a profound theological truth: true, holy harmony is not something that human beings can manufacture from the bottom up through political treaties, or social engineering. Holy harmony is a supernatural gift that cascades from the top down. It originates from the throne room of the true Sovereign, flows through our ultimate Mediator, and completely saturates the body of the faithful. The rich, fragrant oil of unity marks the covenant family as a sacred, set-apart space, completely distinct from the profane, defiled territories of the rebel gods. When we walk in harmony, we are literally covered in the intoxicating fragrance of heaven's holiness. Segment three is: Subverting the Dark Mountain and the Ultimate Decree of Life Psalm One Hundred Thirty-Three: verse three. Harmony is as refreshing as the dew from Mount Hermon that falls on the mountains of Zion. And there the Lord has pronounced his blessing, even life everlasting. The psalmist introduces a...

Die aktuellen Wirtschaftsnachrichten mit Michael Weyland Thema heute: Grillen schafft nicht nur Freunde in der Nachbarschaft! Hilfreiche Tipps von Rechtsanwalt Franz Obst Ich kenne zugegebenermaßen keine Statistiken, aber ich könnte mir vorstellen, dass das Thema „Grillen“ bei den Nachbarschaftsstreitigkeiten ganz weit oben steht. Franz Obst, Rechtsanwalt und Mediator und RTL-Streitschlichter, weiß, wie schnell Streit ausbrechen kann: Franz Obst: Davon kann man ausgehen. Also ich sag mal: Zunächst mal ist es ja die Frage, welchen Grill nehme ich überhaupt. Nehme ich jetzt einen Gasgrill oder nehme ich einen Holzkohlengrill und, wenn ich jetzt einen Gasgrill nehme, dann ist es nur noch vom Grillgut abhängig, ob ich jetzt die Würstchen dann tatsächlich tiefschwarz bräune oder ob ich die so bräune, dass ich nicht so lange drauf raumkauen muss, während es beim Holzkohlegrill dann immer mit einer gewissen Geruchsbelästigung einhergeht und da gibt es auch eine Fülle von Rechtsprechung, die zieht sich von Nord nach Süd und von Ost nach West und hat interessanterweise unterschiedliche Zeiten, wie oft man so grillen darf! Auf die Gerichte kann man hier ausnahmsweise kaum setzen, denn: Franz Obst: .. nach Auffassung des einen Gerichts darf man einmal im Monat grillen, nach Auffassung des anderen Gerichts kann man also alle Woche mal grillen und dann gibt es noch ein anderes Gericht, das sagt: Naja, solange ich meine Mitmenschen damit nicht belästige, kann ich eigentlich grillen, sooft ich will! Es gibt also dummerweise keine klaren Aussagen und erst recht keine Tabellen, wo ich ablesen kann, wann ich welches Grillgut auf welchem Grill braten darf! Also, was tun? Franz Obst: Das ist natürlich dann immer der Gradmesser! Beinträchtige ich dadurch das Wohl des anderen, indem ich dann meinen Grill anwerfe oder beeinträchtige ich das nicht? Und wenn man jetzt mal so eine richtige schöne Grillparty schmeißt mit einem Grillrost, den man oben aus einem Flugzeug schon sehen kann, dann sollte man sich ernsthaft überlegen, ob man nicht die umliegenden Nachbarn einlädt, dann haben die auch Spaß und beschweren sich nicht mal. Ärgerlich wird es vor allem, wenn man die Prozessfreude der Nachbarschaft falsch einschätzt und es auf ein Gerichtsverfahren mit ungewissem Ausgang ankommen lässt! Schließlich sind in aller Regel zwei Anwälte und ein Gericht beschäftigt und das ist nicht billig. Franz Obst: Ja gut, da sind ruck-zuck dann mal 1.000,-- Euro weg und dann hat man immer noch die Frage: „Wer muss den Spaß am Ende des Tages bezahlen – nämlich der Unterlegene!“ Und das wissen wir beide. Vor Gericht und auf hoher See ist man stets in Gottes Hand. Das kann so und so ausgehen! Da kann man nur sagen: Wohl dem, der eine Rechtsschutzversicherung abgeschlossen hat, die auch solche Streitigkeiten abdeckt. Denn spätestens beim Marsch durch die Instanzen kann man sonst jede Menge Geld vernichten. Also lieber ein paar Steaks mehr kaufen und die Nachbarn einladen!

Interpersonal conflict can erupt unexpectedly. If it does, a firm foundation for the relationship can frequently prevent lasting harm from occurring. People can find a way forward and not engage in earth-scorching behavior. And, often, interpersonal conflict is simmering for a while before it comes to a boil. It may be tempting to pretend it's not happening. Or to know it's happening and decide not to deal with it. But that lack of action can be a lack of prevention. Prevention of damage that might be minimized by effective conflict resolution but didn't need to happen at all. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

Deb Ledford in conversation with Robert Bailey
It can feel easy to tote up the costs of having a difficult conversation about something important. It can seem overwhelming. It's tempting to decide that we should just live with the status quo. We should add up the costs of doing nothing. And then compare the costs. Do you have comments or suggestions about a topic or guest?

In this episode of the Talk Design podcast, host Adrian Ramsay sits down with Dee Hardy, a former high-end Sydney property developer who has transitioned her immense project management skills into becoming a "Life Architect." Today, Dee works as a counselor and mediator, expertly project managing high-conflict relationships and divorces to help couples consciously separate and stay out of the courtroom.Dee shares her incredible origin story, detailing how a lack of fear allowed her to buy her first property at age 17 for $69,500 by saving up a 50% deposit and flipping cars at a local market. She offers profound advice for young women entering the construction and design fields, explaining why she reframes the industry as "male-populated" rather than "male-dominated" to remove the aggressive struggle for submission, allowing her to focus entirely on her skillset and feminine energy.The conversation takes a deep dive into the psychology of human relationships. Dee explains the critical importance of de-escalating heightened emotions before making major life decisions, especially when protecting children from the trauma of non-verbal conflict cues. Adrian also shares his architectural secret weapon: the "wish list" exercise, revealing how having couples draft their dream home priorities separately helps him identify relationship red flags, veto power, and underlying communication issues before the design even begins.

Jesus is the Mediator of the New Covenant. The central truth of this passage is this: Christ's once-for-all sacrifice secured eternal redemption and opened the way for sinners to enter God's presence forever.
In this episode, Jason and Duffey dive back into discussions surrounding systematic theology. This time, they engage the subject of christology. Christology is the study of the person and work of Christ. This epsiode is limited to the "work" of Christ. Here they discuss questions like: What did Jesus come to accomplish in the incarnation? What does it mean that he is our Mediator? What is meant by his three-fold office as prophet, priest, and king? What is the atonement? What is propitiation? More online recommended resources: R.C.

Paul Molinaro, M.D., J.D., who is a Physician, Attorney, Mediator, Arbitrator and founder of MD JD Dispute Resolution, joins Steve Wood, Ph.D. to share his background on his many roles and experience with medical malpractice cases. Paul and Steve discuss the standard of care, how Paul evaluates the cases that he is approached to work on, how patients and jurors judge physicians, how they perceive the standard of care and the expertise of physicians, and the role of expert witnesses in med mal cases. They also talk about the business of medicine and how that can impact patient care. Steve and Paul dive into the reactions and concerns they deal with when physicians get sued and what has changed in medical malpractice litigation over the past 20 years, particularly with the advent of AI.
Pastor Timothy shows that through God’s Mediator, God forgives and removes our sins, restoring us– and ultimately all creation– to dwell in his presence.
The spaces we spend time in either stress or calm us. Or maybe they feel fully neutral. Our day-to-day setpoint in the environment where we live our lives sets us up for conflict prevention and resolution “readiness”. We can easily overlook the environment we are in precisely because we live in it. Taking a moment to step back and really think about the spaces we inhabit can help reduce stress and encourage a sense of calm.

In this episode of Rick and Elaine Discuss the Book of Job, we begin by sharing the joy of the growing community forming around this study. From Lannette's encouragement about the theme song to Deana's tears over the Hebrew meaning of Yahweh's name, “hand, behold, nail, behold,” we are reminded that this is more than an academic exercise. It is fellowship. It is worship. It is the Word of God knitting hearts together across continents. We reflect honestly on how easy it is to become like Eliphaz, quick to respond and slow to understand, and how often we ourselves have slipped into self-righteousness when someone else is suffering. Yet the beauty of this study is that it allows us to be real about our humanity without shame. As we said in the discussion, we have all been in every seat in this story at one time or another. What touches us most is seeing how Scripture exposes us, humbles us, and then gently lifts our eyes back to Christ.As we moved into Job 16 and 17, the depth of Job's lament became unmistakable. His cry for an Advocate, a Mediator, a guarantor between himself and God is not theoretical. It is desperate. When Job pleads for someone to arbitrate between man and God, we cannot help but see the shadow of Christ. The righteous sufferer mocked, struck, misunderstood, yet growing stronger in integrity as the accusations intensify. We wrestled with how Job's friends offered theology without compassion, truth without tenderness, and how often we do the same. What Job longs for is presence, not platitudes. In that longing, we are confronted with the staggering gift we now possess in Christ, the true Mediator, the One who stands in heaven as our Advocate. This study continues to peel back layers of our assumptions and draw us deeper into the creamy nougat center of where this book is leading to...the profound, suffering love of the Man of Sorrows who entered the dust for us who was raised from the dead and given a name above all names.Here are the links to the songs Toni Driver composed for me and Elaine based on this study!

Exodus 32: 1 - 14
— Allow yourself to grieve. Grief is a process that requires patience—with yourself, your emotions, and the journey ahead. It isn't something you can rush or resolve overnight because grief isn't about "getting over" your loss; it's about learning to live with it. It's about finding ways to incorporate the love and memories of your loved one into your life in a healthy and meaningful way. There will be moments when the waves of emotion hit unexpectedly— sometimes as a gentle ripple and other times as a crashing tide. Allow yourself to feel them. These emotions are a reflection of the depth of your love and the significance of the bond you shared. They're not something to push away or suppress but to honor as part of your healing. Be kind to yourself on this journey. Healing doesn't mean forgetting, and moving forward doesn't mean leaving your loved one behind. Instead, it's about carrying them with you differently—as part of who you are, as inspiration, and as a source of love that continues to shape your life. Valeria interviews Marcia Earhart — She is the author of "Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart." Marcia Earhart is the founder of the Sterling Rose Sanctuary, life coach, grief, brain, and trauma specialist, HeartSync minister, mediator, author and speaker. Marcia's story is one of unimaginable loss, unshakable faith, and undeniable resilience. After enduring the deaths of two sons—one to sudden tragedy and another to murder— losing life as she knew it-she has allowed God to transform her pain into a lifeline for others. Her book, Gripping Grace in the Garden of Grief: A Place for the Heart, is a raw, powerful testament to surviving the darkest valleys and finding hope on the other side. Her determined faith, unshakable hope, and belief in the healing power of the Lord gave her the ability to fight for her family through prayer and practical decision-making. Marcia's story isn't just about survival—it's about learning how to breathe again after life knocks the wind out of you. Marcia will tell you the losses she had early on in life prepared her for the losses she has continued to experience. But instead of letting grief consume her, she learned—through the quiet strength of her parents—how to live with sorrow without being crushed by it. Today, she doesn't just carry that wisdom for herself; she offers it to others as a certified Grief, Trauma, Brain, and Mental Health Responder and Coach. She is also a Mediator, HeartSync Minister, Author, and Speaker. Her work is deeply personal. Her ministry is boots on the ground for those suffering with mental health due to trauma, loss, and grief. She works with survivors of sexual ritual abuse, addiction, those haunted by suicidal thoughts, and anyone drowning in the weight of depression or anxiety—not as a distant expert, but as someone who's felt fractures in her bones. What sets her apart isn't just her training, but her lived truth: Healing isn't about erasing pain. It's about learning how to live alongside it, tenderly and without shame.

The Catechism unpacks the line from the Creed, “He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father Almighty.” Fr. Mike highlights the reality that we do not have direct access to the Father without his Son, Jesus. Christ's ascension into heaven means, “the irreversible entry of his humanity into divine glory,” uniting our humanity with God's divinity in a remarkable way—which finds its earthly culmination in the Holy Mass. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 659-667. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB.
